Department of Defense is Overcompensating its Foreign Employees

Abstract

As of January 1, 1978, the Department of Defense (DOD) employed about 151,800 foreign nationals at foreign installations, including about 121,200 paid from appropriated funds. Almost 90 percent of the employees were located in five countries--Germany, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Italy. The Foreign Service Act provides that compensation for foreign national employees will be based on locally prevailing rates and practices consistent with the public interest.
