Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES





Better Cash Management Can

Reduce The Cost Of The National

Direct Student Loan Program



Because the Department of Health, Educa-
tion, and Welfare has not emphasized cash
management, schools participating in the
National Direct Student Loan program are
holding more than an annual average of $63
million in Federal funds in excess of their
30-day needs.    GAO   estimates that the
Government could save as much as $4 mil-
lion annually in interest costs on its borrow-
ings if the Treasury could use the $63 million
until schools needed it for loans. The amount
of interest savings would depend upon the
Treasury's borrowing requirements and re-
lated factors.

Immediate action should be taken to have
the excess Federal funds returned and to
prevent future accumulations. Congressional
advice should be sought on how funds needed
in future years will be provided so that
schools can continue making student loans.
