         Ms. Donna Cunninghame
         Chief Financial Officer
         Resolution Trust Corporation

         Dear Ms. Cunninghame:

         In June 1994, we issued our opinions on the Resolution Trust
         Corporation's 1993 financial statements and internal controls
         as of December 31, 1993, and reported on the Corporation's
         compliance with selected laws and regulations during 1993
         (GAO/AIMD-94-148, June 27, 1994). The purpose of this letter
         is to report to you other matters identified during our audit
         regarding accounting procedures and internal controls which
         could be improved and to make suggestions for improvement.
         While the following matters are not considered material in
         relation to the Corporation's financial statements, we
         believe they warrant management's attention.

         CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
         INVOLVEMENT IN THE ESTIMATED
         CASH RECOVERY CALCULATION

         The estimated cash recovery (ECR) calculation is a key factor
         in estimating loss funds and recoveries from the
         Corporation's receiverships. Although these estimates are
         significant to the Corporation's financial statements, which
         are prepared by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the CFO
         has not had direct involvement in planning or analyzing the
         results of the ECR calculation. The responsibility for
         performing the ECR calculation lies with the Office of
         Planning, Research, and Statistics (OPRS), which reports to
         the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

         The initial confidence interval determined as part of the
         June 1993 ECR calculation was $3.1 billion compared to $1.8
         billion at December 1992. The confidence interval represents
