           The Honorable Albert V. Casey
           President and Chief Executive Officer,
           Resolution Trust Corporation

           Dear Mr. Casey:

           This letter presents the results of our evaluation of the
           Resolution Trust Corporation's (RTC) management and use of
           three critical automated asset systems since the recent
           restructuring of its field operations. As you know, since
           October 1990 we have expressed continuing concern about the
           agency's inability to develop systems to support its critical
           mission of managing and selling assets. For example, last
           March we reported that RTC's Real Estate Owned Management
           System (REOMS), Loans and Other Assets Inventory System
           (LOAIS), and Asset Manager System (AMS) were not meeting
           RTC's mission needs.' While RTC has shown management
           commitment to improve this situation, problems remain.

           BACKGROUND

           Until recently, RTC's asset systems development efforts have
           been disappointing. Problems with the systems have included
           unclear or changing requirements, inaccurate and incomplete
           data, poor response times, and difficulty of use. In our
           March report, we concluded that RTC had not adequately
           defined its business strategies for managing and selling
           assets; matched information needs to these strategies; or
           developed systems to provide timely, accurate, and complete
           information to manage asset disposition programs and oversee
           asset management contractors. Since then, some of our
           concerns have been addressed. We remain concerned, however,
