Dear Mr. Chairman:

     We have reviewed -dollar obligations incurred by the Agency for
 International Development (4   for pokpation and, family planning 7
assistance programs during the period January 1 through March 31,
1972.' Our letter report dated April 21, 1972, presented the results
of our review of obligations for the first 6 months of fiscal year
1972.

     These reviews were made in response to the concern expressed by
the Senate Committee on Appropriations in its January 25, 1972, report
entitled Foreign Assistance and Related Programs Appropriation Bill,
1972. The Committee directed that, without exception, excess foreign
currencies be used to the maximum extent they are available to carry
out U.S. programs to reduce population pressures.

     Our efforts were directed toward ascertaining whether dollars were
obligated to finance population program costs in instances in which
U.S.-owned local currencies could have been used in lieu of dollars.
Our work was done at AID's headquarters at Washington, D.C. We limited
our examination to obligations for population programs in the 10 coun-
tries designated as excess-currency co5   feT-'by he°eparte i of the
Treasury. (See our letter report, April 21, 1972.)

AID OBLIGATIONS FOR PROGRAMS IN
EXCESS-CURRENCY COUNTRIES DURING
THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 1972

     During the period January 1 through March 31, 1972, AID obligated
a total of $7.6 million for population and family planning programs.
Our review of these obligations showed that $207,000 was obligated for
population programs in excess-currency countries. The dollar obliga-
tions were made in four countries to fund foreign exchange costs of the
programs, primarily the salaries and related costs of U.S. technicians.
