As a result of discussions during the annual Audit Staff conference we are now in the process of 25X1 trying to develop an audit program which will allow us to con- duct a systematic, limited audit review of some aspects of com- pliance with Executive Order 12333. Within the next few weeks, we intend to reinstitute the practice of interviewing PCS returnees. This will enable us to monitor the health and well-being of our overseas installations and possibly pinpoint areas where OIG attention should be focused. It might be interesting to note that our Grievance and Investigations Staff investigated 23 cases of alleged illegali- ties and improprieties in 1983 compared to a like number of 23 cases in 1982. They also handled 36 grievance cases in 1983 compared with 27 in 1982. In 1983 we opened three EEO investi- gations compared with two in 1982. We think these figures, which are at quite low levels historically (for an Agency of this size), suggest a reasonably happy work force.
