Dear Mr. Watt:

     In July 1970, we  remuesrTA the C'onlvssioner s comments on our
draft report on the iL,   ._..s   needed in the financial management and
the reporting on the   etropolitan Area Sanitary Sewage Works Fund
(dotomac Interceptor Sewer).

     Ln our draft report, we proposed  that the Commissioner require that
the accounting procedu:es be improved  so as to accurately record, within
the formal accounts of the Interceptor Funa,  the assets, liabilities,
revenues, and operating expanses on the accrual  basis.  With respect to
coe g.C. Sanitary Sewage Works Fund, we  proposed that he require that
similar accounting irprovements be made  so that the proportionate share
f  the District's sewerage facilities, operacing  expenses chargeable to
e   Interceptor user jurisdictions may  ba reliably determined and that
thesa expenses may be compared to  revenue due from the jurisdictions.

     We also proposed  that budgetary data reported to the Congress in-
cLude a full cisciosure of the results  of the Interceptor's operations
and of the financial condition of the Interceptor  Fund.  Additionally,
we proposed thac such data include a race and  Loan repayment analysis
snowing historical rates, operating costs, and  loan repayments as well
as future years' projecced rates, estimated operating  costs, and esti-
mated loan repayments through the final loan-repayment  year.

     Ey letter dated September 17, 1970, the Director,  Office of Budget
and Lxecutive Management, District of Columbia Government,  commented on
our a-at  report.  He stated that, subsequent  to the completion of our
review, action had been taken to revise accounting procedures  within the
Department of Sanitary Engineering so as to record,  in the accounts of
the Interceptor Fund and the D.C. Sanitary Sewage Works Fund,  operating
costs which will be in agreement with deraileo cost account data.

     The Director stated also that, as soon as possible after  the resub:.s-
sion to the Comptroller General of the District's  statement of accounting
principles and standards, the District will revise procedures  to account
for the Interceptor Fund so that statements of financial  condition and
operating results may be prepared.
