Chairman, Select Committee

House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

Subject: Age Discrimination and Other Equal
Employment Opportunity Issues in the
Federal Work Force (FPCD-82-6)

This report responds to your March 17, 1981, request that
we determine whether Federal employees are being treated in
a manner free of age discrimination. You asked us to identify
the key issues relating to the Government's treatment of its
older workers. During our discussion with the Committee staff,
we agreed to concentrate on the following four issues:

--The system for processing discrimination complaints.

--How age complaints are processed in relation to com-
plaints dealing with race, sex, national origin, or
other discrimination issues.

--The severity of age discrimination in the Federal
work force.

--Occupational exemptions from the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act.

also analyzed other documents maintained by EEOC and the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM), such as case file logs,
