REPORT TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE

ON APPROPRIATIONS


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


'I, ( I \


OF THE UNITED STATES


Department of Defense

Should Change Pay Setting

For Filipino Nationals





U.S. Forces in the Philippinesemploy about
22,000 Filipino nationals who are paid more
than the local wage rates. The Secretary of
Defense should make changes which would
bring wages and benefits for Filipino nation-
als more in line with local rates, improve
procedures, and reduce costs.

Department of Defense attempts to follow
local prevailing pay practices have been ham-
pered by labor agreements and a strong
employee union, and changes wi!l be difficult
to make.
