 The Honorable John M. Murphy
 Chairman, Committee on Merchant
   Marine and Fisheries
 House of Representatives

 Dear Mr. Chairman:

      Your January 31, 1978, lett         us to vtit      .
 certain claims made by the Deartment of Defesa&(_r)_
 cernin                             s being achieved under
 i   Cop     ive Rate Program (CRP    You also asked that we
 io  ino                        and determine whether or not

 the rates offered under CRP are compensatory.

      In our July 7, 1978, response we advised you of our
Areliminary findings with respect to the DOD claims.
   that time, we also told you that we had been denied
access to forwarder recorus which are essential in deter-
mining whether or not the rates were sufficiently high to
return forwarders' costs.

      Your August 7, 1978, letter requested us to continue
 our investigation into the forwarders' rate levels. We
 later met with the committee staff and agreed to an alterna-
 tive approach to develop the desired information.

      In the interest of more timely reporting, we have
 decided to divide our audit effort into two separate phases:

      --The validation of DOD claims.

      --The evaluation of rate levels.

      Rather than waiting several months to complete work on
 the latter phase, we are reporting at this time on the first
 phase. We hope to issue another report by July 1979 which
 will deal solely with forwarder rates.
