Dear Mr. Aldrich:

     The General Accounting Office has made a  review of the operations
of the Missouri River Basin  (MRB) Project and the integrated projects
through June 30, 1969.  The review was performed  in Region 6 and Region 7
of the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of  the Interior, and the Omaha
District, Corps of Engineers, Department of  the Army.

     Our review included an examination of  administrative practices and
procedures, an evaluation of internal  controls, and such tests of the
financial transactions as we considered  necessary.

     The overall results of our review  relating to the consolidated
operation and financial position of  the integrated projects will be
covered in a separate report to  the Congress.  At Region 6 of the
Bureau of Reclamation we generally  found the administrative procedures
and controls to be adequate.  However,  during our review various matters
which require correction or resolution were  identified.

     The following have been discussed with you  and your staff.  These
items are being reported to you since  corrective action had already
been taken or was contemplated on many  of the items and we would appre-
ciate your comments especially as  they relate to accomplished or proposed
corrective action.

fiscal year.  However, inconsistent  rates were used for allocating
