Because many of these services were furnished in 1966, 1967, and 1968, we became concerned with the possibility that, if overpayments occurred, the statute of limitations (28 U.S.C. 2415) would bar litiqation if reoayments were not mnade. We therefore began a review in October 1972 of the overpayment cases wnich were with the Bureau of Health Insurance. ve want to invite your attention to the fact that this report contains recommendations to you which are set forth on pages 5, 10, and 13. As you know, section 236 of the Legislative eorganization Act of 1970 requires the head of a Federal agency to submit a written statement on actions he has taken on our recomnendations to the House and Senate Committees on Government Operations not later than 60 days after the date ot the renort, and to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with the agency's first request for appropriations made more than 60 days after the date of the report. We shall appreciate receiving copies of your statements to the committees. Copies of this report are beinq sent to the Director, Office of Management and Budqet. Sincerely ours, T. . Sulliva Director
