                        Activities

               This letter responds to your March 26, 1996, request for information on the
               resources used for employee union activities across the federal government.
               Specifically, the objective of our ongoing review is to develop information on
               the following seven areas, as reported to us by selected federal organizations:

               - amount of official time used by employees for union activities;'
               - number of employees who used official time;
               - number of employees who spent all of their time on union activities;
               - dollar value of the time used for union activities;
               - dollar value of travel used for union activities;
               - dollar value of office space and related items; and
               - benefits and disadvantages, according to the federal organizations, of using
                  official time for union activities.

               On May 19, 1997, we briefed your offices on the preliminary results of our work.
               This letter, provided at your recent request, records the substance of that
               briefing. As you know, at your request, we are currently following up on our
