R. Gross (A House of Representatives Dear Mr. Gross: On July 20, 1973, you requested an audit of the usof Fede, a, 4 0pay,,, Ihe.. alaries.of certain employees of the We directed our review toward determining whether the use of Federal funds for salary payments to members of the Gover- nor's staff was authorized under the various Federal programs involved and whether the time spent by members of the Gover- nor's staff on Federal program activities was commensurate with salary charges to the Federal grant programs. The review included the period from January 4, 1971, when the current Governor took office, through August 21, 1973, the most recent period for which payroll records were available at the time of our fieldwork. Primary emphasis was placed on those Federal programs in effect at the time of our review. The lack of detailed time allocation records was a limit- ing factor in the scope of our review. We did, however, ex- amine payroll and other financial records, personnel files, and grant and other program documents and interviewed selected State employees. We reviewed selected audit reports issued by the Minnesota Public Examiner, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Commerce. We discussed the matters in this report with State and Upper Great Lakes Regional Commission officials. The payroll processed through the Governor's office included some persons who are not on the Governor's staff but are paid through the Governor's office because responsibility for the programs is vested in the Governor's office. Our re- view was restricted to persons actually on the Governor's staff.
