                                                              145308

                November 15, 1991

                To the President of the Senate and the
                Speaker of the House of Representatives

                Section 408(b)(3)(I) of the Rural Electrification Act of
                1936, as amended on December 22, 1987, by the Omnibus
                Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-203),
                requires us to annually review the interest rate charged
                to borrowers, referred to as the cost of money rate, as
                determined by the Governor of the Rural Telephone 3ank
                (RTB) for the preceding fiscal year. We are to report to
                the Congress on the accuracy of the interest rate
                determination within 15 days of receiving it.

                On November 1, 1991, we received RTB's rate
                determination, which established RTB's fiscal year 1991
                cost of money rate at 5.43 percent. We reviewed the rate
                determination and found it to be in accordance with the
                requirements of section 1411(c) of the Omnibus Budget
                Reconciliation Act of 1987 and 7 CFR Part 1610. We
                traced the dollar amounts and rates used in calculating
                the cost of money rate to RTB records and recomputed the
                calculation.

                Enclosed is a copy of RTB's interest rate notice along
                with the details of its calculation of the interest rate
                to be applied to loans issued during fiscal year 1991.

                We are sending copies of this report to the Director of
                the Office of Management and Budget, the Secretary of the
                Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Board of
                Directors of the Rural Telephone Bank.
