Dear Mr. Chairman:
As requested by a joint letter dated February 7, 1972,

In a letter to your Committee dated February 11, 1972,
the Commissioner of the District of Columbia stated that the
work to be done by OMAI would include statements of
--appropriation allotments and expenditures for fiscal
years 1970 and 1971,
--all Federal and private grants awarded and the amounts
received in fiscal years 1970 and 1971, and
--the amount of unobligated Federal grant funds as of
June 30, 1971.
The Commissioner stated that OMAI would test a suffi-
cient number of transactions to determine, with a reasonable
degree of reliability, the extent of errors and whether the
Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) had been violated at the W
end of fiscal years 1970 and 1971. M3
OMAI completed its audit in October 1972 and expects to
issue a report on the audit findings early in 1973. We un- CD
derstand that the District of Columbia Government will make C:
a copy of that report available to you when it is issued.

cluded that it will not be able to assign a total dollar
