CIVIL DIVISION


UNITED STATES GENERAL  ACCOU'JNTING OFFICE
         WASHINGTON.  D.C. 20548



                              AUG 19 1970


Dear Mr. Carlock:

     We have reviewed the activities relating to the processing of
fit and unfit currency received by the Cash Division, Office of the
Treasurer, from local banks, Government agencies and overseas dis-
bursing officers, and the cancellation and destruction of the unfit
currency,

  b  Our review was directed primarily toward an evaluation of  (1)
the methods and controls for processing currency in the  Cash
Division's Whole Note Branch, and (2) the controls over the cancel-
lation, verification, and destruction of unfit currency.


     We noted that joint control over
maintained as is required by both the
governing the destruction of security
Currency Manual.


unfit currency was not always
Department's regulations
items and the Federal Reserve


1.  The Destruction Committee picks up currency  from the Currency
    Verification Section, bundle counts  it, places it in a locked
    tank truck, and transports it to the  incinerator room where
    it is either burned immed.ately, or held  in a vault for future
    destruction.

    We were informed by the Chairman of the Destruction Committee
    that the Committee has 17 tcnk trucks for transferring and
    storing unfit currency; each tank truck is secured by a
    single padlock; and all padlocks can be opened by the  same
    key.  Both the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Destruction
    Committee have a key with which the padlocks can be opened.

2.  We were informed also that the locked tank trucks containing
    currency awaiting destruction are placed in a vault which has
    a combination locked outer door and a key locked inner door.
    Both the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Destruction
    Committee have the combination to the outer door, and a key
    to the inner door; thus, the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman
    each have independent access to the vault and to the tank
    trucks containing the currency.
