         The Honorable Gary Sisco
         Secretary of the United States Senate

         Subject: Senate Office of Public Records Revolving Fund Review Procedures

         Dear Mr. Secretary:

         We performed procedures you requested to assist you in determining whether the
         Senate Office of Public Records revolving fund's reported fiscal year 2000 receipts
         and disbursements (October 1, 1999 through September 30, 2000), and fund balances
         at the beginning and end of the review period are complete and accurate.

         In summary, the procedures you asked us to perform included reviewing
         documentation supporting the Senate Office of Public Records revolving fund's
         recorded receipt and disbursement transactions for evidence that the transactions
         were properly authorized, recorded, and reported on the Senate Disbursement
         Office's monthly Statement of Funding Authorization and Expense Activity reports.
         In addition, you asked us to review the fund balance at the beginning and end of the
         fiscal year under review. The details of the agreed-upon procedures along with our
         results are presented in enclosure I. The unaudited fiscal year 2000 Schedule of
         Receipts, Disbursements, and Fund Balance for the Senate Office of Public Records
         revolving fund is in enclosure II.

         By specifying the agreed-upon procedures, your office was responsible for ensuring
         that the procedures were sufficient to meet your objectives, and we make no
         representations in that respect. In performing these procedures, we conducted our
         work in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards that
         incorporate financial audit and attestation standards established by the American
         Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These standards also provide guidance
         when performing and reporting the results of agreed-upon procedures. In agreeing to
         perform these procedures you requested, we discussed this guidance and the related
         limitations on the nature, scope, and intended use of our work with your office. As
         we did not perform a financial audit, we do not express an opinion on the enclosed
         schedule.

         We provided a draft of this letter, along with its enclosures, to your staff for review
         and comment. Your staff agreed with the contents of this letter and the enclosures.
         We conducted our work from December 13, 2000 through January 25, 2001. This
         letter is intended for the use of your office and is not intended to be and should not
         be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for
