We could find no indication that current management officials were either applying pressure or were aware of any irregularities in attempting to employ the race requested candidates. Further, we fourd no evidence pointing to the existence of a plan to favor former North American Rockwell employees, as alleged in the Subcommittee Report.

He should point out that there has been a change in the leadership of the NETSA Personnel Office as well as several key staff changes in the support jobs of the office. Hopefully these changes will result in improvements in Personnel Management in the agency as well as preventing a recurrence of the types of actions we found to have taken place in the past.

In addition to the cases cited in the House Report, nine name requests made by NHTSA during 1973-74 were also reviewed. Out of the nine, there is evidence of preferential treatment in one case. In this instance, preferential treatment appears to have been accorded the nane requested candidate primarily because of pressures coming from outside the Department.

To deal with the problems we found we are requiring NHTSA to:
-Submit a revised promotion plan to us within 60 days.

-Develop and administer an orientation program for managers and supervisors on the proper use of merit staffing procedures. All managers are to have received the required training within 120 days of this report.

-Terminate all improper details and establish controls on future details within 30 days.

This report does not include an investigation of the four name requests nade by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and cited in the Eouse Report. Our plans, presently, ara to conduct a general personnel management evaluation at the Courts and at that time review the four cases. We anticipate beginning this review the latter part of this year. We will advise you of our findings in those cases upon the conclusion of our evaluation.

This refers to your letter of February 24 enclosing, in order to complete the record of the Joint

Committee's recent hearings on standards of conduct, a list of additional questions and a list of material to be supplied for the record.

The information requested by these lists is set out in the enclosed memorandum and I would appreciate it if this letter and the enclosed memorandum were made part of the record.

The enclosed memorandum is based, in part, on my personal recollection and, in part, on investigations I requested be made by others in the Company. I believe the statements in the memorandum to be as accurate and complete as we have been able to develop.

Our responses are made as of the date of the hearing and cover the period of the prior three years, consistent with the procedure followed in the Company's
