The Honorable John E. Moss
The Honorable John D. Dingell
House of Representatives

     Your joint letter of October 31, 1975, asked us to
examine the effects of a change the Small Business Admin-
istration made to itsi size standard for small business
petroleum refiners on October 30, 1975.

     In discussions with your offices, we agreed to

     --review correspondence and other documents avail-
       able at the agency concerning the change,

     --interview agency personnel who opposed the
       change,

     --examine the former Administrator's appointment
       book to determine if he had any contacts with
       companies directly affected by the change, and

     --meet with an individual identified by your
       offices and anyone he would refer us to who
       had information on the change.

     In addition, we attempted to determine whether any
petroleum refiners made eligible for small business pro-
grams by the change had applied for assistance.

     We reviewed records and interviewed officials at the
Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Small Business Admin-
istration. We also contacted the person identified by your
offices, a congressional staff member to whom he referred
us, an official of the Department of Defense's Defense
Supply Agency, and an official of the Department of the
Interior's Geological Survey.

     A summary of the information you requested follows.
A more detailed discussion can be found in the enclosure
to this letter.
