Compiling Numerical Ratings for Members of the Congress by the Department of Defense

Abstract

On July 19, 1982, it was publicly disclosed that the Department of the Navy had developed a rating or index system to evaluate the voting record of Members of Congress. As a result of your July 26, 1982, letter (see app. I) to me and subsequent discussions with your office, it was agreed that we would confine our review to (1) documenting the extent of the use of political rating files within the Department of Defense (DOD) and its military services, (2) specifically identifying those individuals who were involved in the creation, maintenance, and use of such files, and (3) determining the specific use or purpose of these rating files.
