Mr. Van Zeck
Acting Commissioner
Bureau of the Public Debt

Subject: Financial Audit: Schedule of Loans Receivable Serviced by the Bureau of
          the Public Debt

Dear Mr. Zeck:

This report presents the results of the audit of the Schedule of Loans Receivable
From Federal Entities and Related Interest Receivable Serviced by the Bureau of
the Public Debt (BPD) at September 30, 1997 (Schedule of Loans Receivable).'
Loans Receivable From Federal Entities represents an intragovernmental receivable.
These receivables arise from certain federal entities that have been granted specific
legislative authority to borrow from the Department of the Treasury. Using the
funds borrowed, these entities make loans to various nonfederal borrowers, such as
students and farmers. During fiscal year 1997, Treasury transferred to BPD the
responsibilities for accounting and servicing of loans made to federal entities.
Accordingly, the Schedule of Loans Receivable presents the September 30, 1997,
balances of federal loans receivable and related interest receivable that are serviced
by BPD.

We contracted with the independent public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP (KPMG) to audit the Schedule of Loans Receivable at September 30, 1997. The


'As provided by the Government Management' Reform Act of 1994, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) designated BPD as a component of the Department
of the Treasury required to issue audited financial statements. As approved by
OMB, BPD's fiscal year 1997 financial statements submission, which also represents
BPD's annual report, will consist of the (1) Administrative Financial Statements,
(2) Schedule of Federal Debt Managed by the Bureau of the Public Debt for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, (3) Schedule of Loans Receivable From
Federal Entities and Related Interest Receivable Serviced by the Bureau of the
Public Debt at September 30, 1997, and (4) Overview to the Financial Statements.

                             GAO/AIMD-98-66R Schedule of Loans Receivable
