     Dear Mr. DuBrul:

          As you know, we have recently completed our audit of
     Eximbank's fiscal year 1975 financial statements. During
     the course of the audit we noted the following matters
     which if adopted could improve Eximbank's management.

           (1) Implementation of .a long-range automatic data
              processing (ALt) plan,

           (2) Establishment of both an offsite storage for
              backup computer files and programs and a disaster
              recovery plan, and

           (3) A requirement that banks provide more timely
               transfer of deposits.

          Although these matters did not affect our opinion on
      the financial statements and were not included in our let-
      ter to the Board of Directors. we are takini this opportu-
      nity to bring them to your attention. We also urge you
      to reconsider the suggestion for the establishment of an
      internal audit staff made to Eximbank in our February 25,
      1975, management letter.

      ADP COMPUTER STEERING COMMITTEE
      tND LONG-RANGE ADP PLAN NEEDED

          The Bank's ADP operations have continued to expand
      to include such furictions as economic analyses, and the
      cost of ADP resources has increa,eP each year from about
      $258,000 in 1972 to about $386,0C in 1975 with an addi-
      tional increase of about $.0,000 budgeted for 1976. The
      irnortance of an effective and efticient ADP system to the
      Bank's operations, and the sizable investment in hDP ra-
      sources, suggests the need fo.- the formal development of
      a long-range AD-P plan. The plan for future system develop-
      ment efforts should include

                                                       ID-76-50
