handle is hein.gao/gaobabjbg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON D.C. 20548 B-202156 -- . . . . . .. September 3, 1981 The Honorable Don Edwards House of Representatives Dear Mr. Edwards: This responds to your letter, with enclosures, of Janu- ary 29, 1981, in which you requested that we review the material submitted by your constituent, Mr. Ralph A. Perrigo. We delayed our review of this matter until now at Mr. Perrigo's request in order to allow him to submit additional information. Mrs. Irene Webber of your San Jose District Office was advised of this delay. After review of all the material submitted by Mr. Perrigo we must inform you that the matters raised by his letter to you are not matters over which the General Accounting Office has authority. However, we are providing the following infor- mation to assist you in responding to him. Mr. Perrigo suggested in his letter to you which you forwarded to us that a labor relations specialist at the General Accounting Office could validate his charges of unfair labor practices by the Defense Logistics Agency. This Office does not have authority to investigate unfair labor practices. However, Mr. Perrigo's complaints do not involve matters normally considered unfair labor practices. See 5 U.S.C. 7116. Instead he is concerned with personnel matters involving grievances, classification, and promotion issues. All of these are matters which are within the juris- diction of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Merit Systems Protection Board. It further appears that Mr. Perrigo has contacted both of these agencies but has been unable to provide them sufficient information or evidence for his complaints to be favorably considered. Specifically Mr. Perrigo disagrees with the interpretation and implementation of OPM regulations regarding classification and grievances. We have been unable to detect any evidence of impropriety in the material he submitted. It appears that he disagrees with OPM's interpretation of certain regulations. For example, in his letter to you he states that OPM has adopted an overly broad interpretation of the limits prescribed by Title 5, United States Code, 771.304, attachment 4. Attachment 4 submitted by Mr. Perrigo is from Title 5, Code
