Regional Administrator
Employment  and Training Administration

Chicago, Illinois   60604

Dear Mr. Gilliland:

     We recently surveyed  cash management practices at several
Federal agencies one  of which was the Chicago Regional Office of
the Employment and Training Administration  (ETA).  We wanted to
determine whether  collections are deposited promptly as required
by Title 7 of the GAO manual,  a practice which would decrease the
need for borrowing by  the U. S. Treasury and reduce interest costs
to the Government.

     The Chicago Regional Office  of ETA collects refunds averaging
over $900,000 monthly.   Collections however, are accumulated and
held before making a  deposit, only a few deposits are made each
month.  We could not determine  the length of delays because the
Regional Office did not  record when collections were received as
required.

     We discussed this with your Assistant  for Administration and
Management systems.  He  said that procedures would be changed to
assure that collections are  deposited daily.  He also said that
date of receipt would be recorded  for each collection item and
unidentified remittances would  also be promptly deposited.

     A concerted practice of daily  deposit by ETA regions and
other Federal agencies could help  immensely to reduce the borrowing
burden on the U. S. Treasury.  We would  appreciate being advised
of the corrective actions you carried out.
