                               WASHINGTON,  D.C. 20548

CIVIL DIVISION                                          MAY 1 8 1971









      Dear Dr. Marston:

           We have made a review for the settlement of accounts of accountable
      officers of the Headquarters, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Depart-
      ment of Health, Education, and Welfare, through June 30, 1970.  The review,
      which was completed in February 1971, consisted of an evaluation of the
      administrative procedures and internal controls relative to receipts and
      disbursements, excluding payroll, and included such tests of financial
      transactions and records as we considered appropriate.

           We found significant differences amounting to $34,011,507 between the
      financial records of NIH and the Statement of Unexpended Balances of Appro-
      priations and Funds submitted to the Department of the Treasury as of
      June 30, 1970.  Prior to the completion of our review all but $170,809 had
      been reconciled.  Because of these discrepancies, we are unable to autho-
      rize disposal of the records relating to these accounts.

           We examined the Statement of Unexpended Balances of Appropriations and
      Funds (Form BA-R 2108) submitted to the Department of the Treasury for the
      fiscal year ended June 30, 1970.  Although the financial data in this report
      should come from financial records of NIH, our examination showed that for
      three of the appropriations there were significant discrepancies between
      the data reported to the Department of the Treasury on the Form BA-R 2108
      and the balances in the general ledger.

           We attempted to reconcile the balances of these same appropriations
      in the general ledger with the balances shown in the allotment ledgers.
      However, we noted differences between the general ledger and the allotment
      ledger for two of these appropriations.  The information shown on the
      financial records and in the report to the Treasury is summarized in the
      following table:










                                                            052q70
                              50 TH ANNIVERSARY  1921- 1971
