The report contains information about staff secure juvenile detention programs across the country. As opposed to secure detention, which uses architectural restraints such as barred windows and locked doors, the staff secure concept uses around-the-clock supervision by trained staff to detain juveniles who require some form of detention, but for whom secure detention is not appropriate. The authors met with subcommittee representatives and agreed to visit staff secure juvenile facilities in several states and interview juvenile justice experts to obtain information concerning the reasons why juveniles were placed in the facilities; methods used to restrain juveniles in the facilities; safeguards used to prevent juveniles from being abused; and range of time juveniles were held in the facilities.

Oversight the review, monitoring, and supervision of operations and activities takes a variety of forms and utilizes various techniques. These range from specialized investigations by select committees to annual appropriations hearings, and from informal communications between Members or congressional staff and executive personnel to the use of extra congressional mechanisms, such as offices of inspector general and study commissions. Oversight, moreover, is supported by a variety of authorities the Constitution, public law, and chamber and committee rules and is an integral part of the system of checks and balances between the legislature and the executive.

This publication was written to help physically disabled people find adequate assistance to live independently and to meet their daily needs. The Guide is divided into two parts. The first part describes personal service providers; it addresses the problems of finding and hiring attendants, providing adequate supervision and training, and locating public and private funding agencies. There is also a section about notetakers and drivers. Finally, highlights from two exemplary programs funded by state and federal money will be presented. Part B provides a comprehensive list of independent living centers, rehabilitation centers, and other agencies that can be used in securing providers to meet the needs of the disabled community. The purpose of this Guide is to give a wide range of readers the everyday 'know-how' to hire, train, supervise, and terminate the services of attendants or other personal service providers.

GAO's testimony today covers the enforcement process used by bank regulators tocorrect unsafe conditions or practice found in banks. GAO calls for changes aimed at achieving prompt and predictable regulatory responses to problem conditions in banks. GAO's study was conducted by reviewing the enforcement histories of a random sample of 72 banks from the universe of banks having capital difficulties as of January 1, 1988. These 72 bank cases came from three geographic areas and were equally divided among the three federal regulators--the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Systems.

The Electronic Supervisor: New Technology, New Tension, deals with the use of computer-based technologies to measure how fast or how accurately employees work. This usually involves pitting the interests of the employer in reducing costs, increasing workplace safety, limiting liability and exercising managerial control against employee privacy. The assessment explores a broad range of questions related to the use of new technology in the workplace and its effects on privacy, civil liberties, and quality of working life.

To realign supervisory and market incentives, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) adjusts two principal features of federal banking supervision. First, it requires regulators to examine insured institutions more frequently and makes them accountable for exercising their supervisory powers. Second, the Act empowers regulators to wind up the affairs of troubled institutions before their accounting net worth is exhausted. Using 1984-2003 data on the outcome of individual bank examinations, this paper documents that the frequency of rating transitions and the character of insolvency resolutions have changed substantially under FDICIA. The average interval between bank examinations has dropped for low-rated banks in the post-FDICIA era. Examiner upgrades have become significantly more likely in the post-FDICIA era even after controlling for the state of the economy. However, in recessions managers are slower to correct problems that examiners identify. As a result, during downturns upgrades become less likely and absorptions become more likely. Giving the FDIC authority to wind up troubled banks before their tangible net worth is exhausted has reduced the role of government in the insolvency-resolution process. Consistent with an hypothesis that FDICIA has improved incentives, our data show that a markedly larger percentage of troubled banks now search for a merger partner rather than trying to stay in business until the regulators force them to fail. This greater reliance on quasi-voluntary mergers is observable both within and across various stages of the business cycle. These findings suggest that supervisory interventions became more effective at banks during the post-FDICIA era.

This document constitutes the final report of efforts taken under grant numberN00014-89-J-3172. Under this program, students from the MAST Academy, and other Dade County Public High Schools, were placed in laboratory positions at three oceanographic institutions on Virginia Key, Miami, Florida during the summer of 1991. These students received direct supervision from faculty members at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) and from staff scientists at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories (AOML) and at the Southeast Fisheries Center (SEFC). This program provided the students an opportunity to work in a scientific environment and to appraise career opportunities in oceanographic science.
