    Mr. William A. Haupt
    Superintendent of Industries
    Federal Prison Industries, Inc.
    Federal Correctional Institution
    Sandstone, Minnesota 55072

    Dear Mr. Haupt:

        We  have completed an examination of theLinancial  statements-
    of the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. .432I, Sandstone, Minnesota
    for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1971.  The examination was ma e
    pursuant to the Government Corporation Control Act (31 U.S.C. 841).

         Our review, which was completed in September 1971, was made
    in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and in-
    cluded such tests of accounting records and financial transactions
    as we considered necessary in view of the nature and volume of
    transactions and the effectiveness of internal controls, including
    the internal audit function.

         Our findings, which were discussed with you and other officials
    at the conclusion of the review, would have no significant effect
    upon the reliability of the financial statements for your location.
    However, certain observations which are within your authority  and
    responsibility, upon which corrective action has been taken or
    promised, are summarized below for your information.

         1.  Inventory differences disclosed by our August 1971  test
             counts and a review of storeroom requisitions and pro-
             cedures indicated a need for better materials and supplies
             control.  For example:

               -A  physical inventory count of glove factory and print
                 plant materials and supplies stocks disclosed  differ-
                 ences in five of the seven items checked.

               --We noted that most materials and supplies are not
                 maintained in a separate controlled area.
