As agreed with your office, our efforts were directed primarily toward ex- amining into the following specific matters. 1. The quantities of U.S. relief commodities that actu- ally arrived at ports i East Pakistan and the amounts of cash assistance actually disbursed. 2. The provisions made to insure that U.S. relief assist- ance reached the East Pakistani victims. D 3. The amount of authorized Public Law 480fodstuffs I that had not left the United States by December12w971 ' and the reasons why it had not left. 4. The amount of U.S. relief assistance that was diverted to othe areas a1he civil strife began and the areas to which the aid was diverted. Reports and records available in Washington did not con- tain all the data concerning the status of deliveries of U.S. relief assistance. Also there was no formal report or record in Washington containing all the data required to respond to your request. Accordingly, and as explained below, we had to compile the information from a variety of documents that were available at the Agency for International Development (AID) and the Department of Agriculture. Enclosure I to this letter summarizes the dollar value of U.S. food and nonfood assistance authorized for victims of the cyclone and civil strife who were located in East Pakistan. Enclosures II through VI provide detailed information concern- ing dollar amounts and quantities of assistance authorized from November 1970 to December 1971 and the status of deliv- eries of such assistance as of April 30, 1972. inWahigoncotinngal3hedar eqie torsodt
