          Dear .r. KuykendaLl:

               ie have made a review for the settlement of the accounts of
          certifying officers of the Indian Claims Commission through fiscal
          year 1969.  Our review was made pursuant to the Budget and  ccournt-
          ing Act, 1921 (11 U.S.C. 53), and the  ccounting and Auditin- act
          of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).

               we found the procedures and controls for rrocessing cash
          receipts and disbursements in use by the Indian Claims Commission
          to be generally satisfactory.  However, we noted certain areas in
          which improvements in the Commission's procedures and controts
          could be effected.  These matters were discussed at a meeting with
          you and the Eaecutive Director of the Commission on February ',
          1970, following our letter of January 23, 1970, to you, requesting
          further information on some of the matters observed by us during
          our revtev.  The subjects discussed and our suggestions and recom-
          eendations are summarized below.

          ment Travel Regulations (Bureau of the Sudget Circular  .-7) have not
          been issued.  Supplemental travel requlations are needed to establish
          Commission policy and guidelines for such items as the followinz:
