D.C. 20548 B-1ll4 M T trC , ., - .. . .F B V 197 Ze- LM100549 The Honorable Richard (Dick) Stone United States Senate RELEASED Dear Senator Stone: In response to your June 8, 1976, letter and a later request from your office on September 16, 1976, we have reviewed the actions taken by the Department of Agricul- ture's Office of Investigation in its investigation of a loan made by the Farmers Home Administration (referred to as agency) to the Collier County Sewer District A, Collier County, Flordia, to construct a sewer system. Its investi- gation was prompted by allegations one of your constituents made concerning the loan. Your request was based on allegations made by your constituent that the Office of Investigation and the agency covered up the original investigative report and that the final report, dated March 19, 1976, differed from the report prepared by the special agent who conducted the investigation. Your office agreed with our review objectives which were to determine (1) if the Office of Investigation's final report differed materially from the draft report prepared by its special agent, (2) whether certain specific allegations your constituent made were investigated by the special agent, and (3) whether a court judgment declaring the district a legal entity could be successfully challenged. We held discussions with Office of Investigation officials in Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, Georgia, agency headquarters officials in Washington, D.C., and your con- stituent in Naples, Florida. We made a detailed comparison of the special agent's draft report with the final report. All Office of Investigation files and workpapers associated with its investigation were reviewed. This report summarizes the information presented to you in an oral briefing on September 16, 1976, and informa- tion requested on that date concerning the court judgment declaring the district a legal entity. As agreed with your office, Department of Agriculture comments were obtained and considered in preparing the report. CED-77-36
