The Honorable Alexander Haig
The Secretary of State

Dear Mr. Secretary:

     Subject:!_Reapproval of the International Boundary and
               Water Commission, U.S. Section Payroll System
               Designj(AFMD-82-41)

     It is my pleasure to reapprove the payroll system design of
the International Boundary and Water Commission, United States
Section submitted to us with your letter of December 8, 1981,
as being in conformity in all material respects with the approved
principles and standards of the Department of State. The pay-
roll system was previously approved in January 1953 and this
reapproval was required due to a complete redesign of the system.

     Our evaluation of the automatie data processing aspects of
the system design was directed primarily to a determination of
the adequacy of internal controls, audit trails, and data
integrity.

     Approval of the system is based on a detailed analysis of
the system documentation as well as on-site evaluation of the
system in operation. To maintain the approved status of the
design, planned changes should be discussed with our representa-
tives and, if deemed significant, submitted formally for approval.

    At some future date we will examine selected aspects of the
system and advise you as to whether it is functioning effectively
and in accordance with our approval. In the interim, and in view
of the fact the system is already in operation, we suggest such
examinations be conducted periodically by the internal audit
staff.

    We appreciate the effort of the Commissioner, International
Boundary and Water Commission, United States Section, and
his staff in completing and submitting the payroll system
documentation for our review and approval.

                                  Sincerely yours,
                                    ,,o..,,A.               11111111
