The Honorable Patrick Leahy
Ranking Minority Member
Committee on the Judiciary
United States Senate

Subject: Independent Counsel- Expenditure and Other Information for the Office of
         Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr

Dear Senator Leahy:

This letter responds to your April 6, 1999, request regarding expenditures by the office
of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr. Specifically, you asked that we obtain
answers to 46 questions grouped into 11 categories.

Enclosure 1 lists the 46 questions and provides the office of independent counsel's
answers to 40 of the questions. According to officials in Mr. Starr's office, they did
not answer the remaining six questions because the office did not have sufficient
information to respond or it would have had to expend significant resources to review
over 4 years of records to provide responses. The answers are as of May 26, 1999, or
for the period from Mr. Starr's appointment on August 5, 1994, through May 26, 1999,
unless otherwise noted. As agreed with your office, we did not audit the answers, nor
did we evaluate the reasons given for not answering questions.



We provided a draft of this letter to officials in the office of independent counsel for
their review and comment. The officials provided certain corrections and
clarifications to the information in the letter, which we incorporated. Further, in
written comments included as enclosure 2, a Deputy Independent Counsel noted that
the draft letter accurately represented the information provided by the office of
independent counsel. We are sending a copy of this letter to the Members of the










                                           GAO/AIMD-99-251R Independent Counsel
