Dear Mr. Chairman:

     in September 1976, we testified before the Subcommittee
on Investigations and Review, Committee on Public Works and
Transportation, concerning the water pollution abatement
project in Suffolk County, Long Island. Following those
hearings, the former Chairman of the committee raised several
questions which required additional audit work. Responses to
those questions were provided over the last 2 years through
briefings to the subcommittee staff, testimony before the
subcommittee, and a report entitled Questions Continue As
To Prices In Contracting For Architectural Engineering
Services Under The Environmental Protection Agency
Construction Grants Program, CED 78-94, June 6, 1978.

     This letter will complete the work requested and
addresses the Chairman's point that we analyze the impact

States, except Arizona.
