Peter McPherson Administrator, Agency for International Development III 1111111 111111 II 115449 Dear Mr. McPherson: Subject: Managing Assistance for Foreign Disaster Reconstruction (ID-81-40) We have examined foreign disaster reconstruction activities in several countries where the United States has been a recent and principal provider of assistance. We identified some issues and made some observations, which we believe should be brought to your attention. The enclosure to this letter contains the information we developed and our conclusions and recommendations for your consideration. --AID should consult with the Congress, following major disasters, and should suggest that the level of funding await an assessment of the needs in the affected areas. --Some aspects of AID in-country monitoring of disas- ter reconstruction projects should be improved. --The countries receiving U.S. assistance for disaster reconstruction should give public recognition of the source of the assistance, as required by AID policy. We have discussed the information developed during our review with officials in various AID missions and at headquarters and have incorporated their views where appropriate. This report contains recommendations to you on pages 9 and 11. As you know, section 236 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 requires the head of a Federal agency to submit a written statement on actions taken on our recommendations to the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Operations not later than 60 days after the date of the report and to the House and Senate Committees on Appropria- tions with the agency's first request for appropriations made more than 60 days after the date of the report. We would appre- ciate receiving copies of your statements to the committees. (471850) f
