The Honorable Richard G. Shoup
House of Representatives


Dear Mr. Shoup:


        On June 12, 1974, you asked us to review Federal funds provided
dl! by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the Black-
;!,feet Indian Developers, Inc. (BIDI), for constructing public housing
   projects on the Biackfeet Indian Reservation in Browning, Montana,
   during 1972-73.

        During a meeting with you on June 27, 1974, it was agreed that
   we would examine and provide information on the following matters.

        --Background information on BIDI's origin and activities.

        --The expenditures incurred to date, including cost over-
          runs, under the two public housing construction contracts
          awarded to BDI.

        --The status of construction under each public housing
          contract.

        --Determining which group absorbed the $267,000 loss under
          the first construction contract to BIDI.

        --HUD's and!or the local housing authorities' rationale for
          awarding the second construction contoact to BIDI despite
          the purported financial loss on the first construction con-
          tract.

        --The relationship between officials of the Blackfect Indian
          Housing Authority and BIDI, and whether any official of the
          authority has an interest in BIDI.

        --The problems BIDI experienced and determining whether they
          were caused by the inadequate performance of Touche Ross
          and Company, management consultant to BIDI, under its con-
          tracts wich HUD.
