FROM:
OCA 2884-88
Office of Personnel for Compensation,
Automation, and Planning
SUBJECT: Senate Da) Appropriations Bill Amendment
To Reduce Consulting Services
1. You have requested that we review a Senate-approved amendment to
referenced bill which would require that funds expended for certain consulting
services during FY89 not exceed 85 percent of the amount expended during FY87.
2. We strongly object to this amendment. It would have a severe impact
upon this Office's contracts with consulting services. We are at a crucial
stage in automating myriad personnel processes and in reviewing personnel
structures and benefits. All these require in-depth assistance from experts
in automation, management, and benefits. We thus request that the Agency be
exempt from this provision.
3. As we understand it, Senator Pryor has offered this same amendment to
all appropriations bills considered and passed by the Senate. This amendment,
therefore, would affect all federal departments, agencies, and instrumenta-
lities. In light of this extensive coverage, our request to be exempt may be
difficult to support. Nevertheless, we would appreciate any help you may
provide in protecting the equities of the Office of Personnel, as well as of
the Agency in general, in this matter. If we may be of any assistance, please
contact the undersigned on
