      U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE

                BEFORE THE

       COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS

SUBCOMMITTEE ON WESTERN HEMISPHERE AFFAIRS

         HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES


               ON

 HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO THE
NICARAGUAN DEMOCRATIC RESISTANCE


Mr. Chairman, Members of the Subcommittee:


     I am pleased to be here  to discuss the management of the

$27 million in humanitarian assistance  authorized for the

Nicaraguan democratic resistance.   Two months ago, I testified

on the accounting and management procedures  established by the

State Department to ensure that  the funds are being spent in

accordance with the law's  intent. At  that time, I stated that

the Department did not have procedures  and controls to ensure

that progam funds were being  used for the purposes intended by

law--in large measure because  those charged with administering

the program were unable  to verify expenditures made in the

region, and were unable  to observe the end use of procured items

to ensure that they were not diverted,  bartered, or exchanged
