             Mr. John E. Ryan
             Deputy and Acting Chief Executive Officer
             Resolution Trust Corporation

             Dear Mr. Ryan:

             On June 22, 1995, we issued our opinions on the Resolution
             Trust Corporation's 1994 financial statements and
             management's assertions regarding the effectiveness of its.
             system of internal controls as of December 31, 1994. We
             also reported on the Corporation's compliance with selected
             laws and regulations during 1994 (GAO/AIMD-95-157, June 22,
             1995).

             The purpose of this letter is to advise you of certain
             matters identified during our audit and to suggest related
             improvements to strengthen the Corporation's internal
             control environment. These matters include the need to
             improve the accuracy of servicer asset information in the
             Controls Total Module (CTM), complete the reconciliation and
             settlement of National Sales transactions, perform
             appropriate account reconciliations, and ensure that
             environmental costs are adequately considered in the asset
             valuation process. Although these matters are not material
             in relation to the financial statements, they warrant the
             attention of management.

             In addition, this letter provides further information
             related to weaknesses in the Corporation's general
             electronic data processing (EDP) controls which were
             discussed in our June 1995 report. In that report, we
             discussed the general nature of the EDP weaknesses and
             recommended that the Corporation's staff monitor the
             implementation and progress of proposed corrective actions.
             Because the RTC Information Resources Management function
             merged with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's
             (FDIC) Division of Information Resources Management on June
             25, 1995, we are providing additional information on the EDP
             weaknesses to enhance RTC's efforts to monitor the
             implementation and progress of the corrective actions.



                                 AIMD-95-212R   1994 RTC Management Letter
