Dear  Mr. Russell:

      We have made  a review for the settlement of accounts of the
 certifying officers of  the Wisconsin State Office, Soil
 Conservation Service,  United States Department of Agriculture.
 Our review completed  in September 1970 was made pursuant to the
 Budget and Accounting  Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53), and the
 Accounting and Auditing  Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).

      Our review was  directed primarily toward the settlement of
 the certifying officers'  accoqnts, and included an examination
 of administrative  procedures and controls relating to the dis-
 bursement of funds  and such tests of individual financial trans-
 actions  as we considered appropriate.  We also reviewed the most
 recent internal  audits of the activities of this office per-
 formed by  the Office of the Inspector General, Department of
 Agriculture.  We  did not examine program-type activities, nor did
 we conduct  a payroll audit.

      We found  that with the exception of insufficient written
 procedures  for examination of contract payments under watershed
 protection projects  and some weakness in record support for
 receipt and  distribution of goods purchased and for certain
 charges on  travel vouchers, the procedures and controls were
 generally  satisfactory.  We discussed these matters with repre-
 sentatives of  your office and corrective action has been taken or
 promised.

      We wish  to acknowledge the courtesies and cooperation given
 our representatives  during the review.
