Many of the Las Americas housing units, constructed in Mdy 1973 still lack indoor bathroom facilities, however, and the reconstruction of some public facilities is 2 years behiDd schedule. Recomm(ndations: The Administrator of the Agency for International Development shculd stress to the Nicaraguan Government the need to complete the hcusing and reconstruction programs in the shortest possible time and, in considering future levels o1 assistance to the Nicaraguan Government, take into account the manner in which facilities previously financed by the Agency are 2aintained. Th- So7rerary of the TreasurTy should irnfore U.S. representatives to international organizations that they should carefully consider the maintenance performance of the Nicaraguan Government in voting on future assistance programs. The Secretaries of State and the TLgasury and the Administrator of the Agency for International Development should seek to formalize coordination so that complete and current informatioL on the progress of planned and ongoing projects is available to the Agency and the other donors.
