        Dear Mr. Mellon:

             We made a review for the purpose of settling the accounts of the
         certifying officers of the National Gallery of Art through fiscal year
         1969. Our review was made pursuant to the Budget and Accounting Act,
         1921 (31 U.S.C. 53), and the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950 (31
         U.S.C. 67).

             Our review consisted of an evaluation of the administrative pro-
         cedures and internal controls relative to the receipt and disbursement
         of funds.  It included an examination and verification of payrolls,
         leave, and related functions for selected pay periods as well as such
         other tests of financial transactions and records as we considered
         appropriate. We found that the procedures for controlling cash re-
         ceipts and disbursements and the payroll operations in use by the
         Gallery to be generally satisfactory. We did note, however, several
         matters which we would like to bring to your attention.

         AUDIT OF PAYROLL AND LEAVE RECORDS

              From our audit of payroll and leave records, we concluded that,
         except for the matters discussed below, the payroll, leave, and related
         functions were performed in a generally satisfactory manner,

         Erroneous postings of information                               a
         on Individual Retirement Record

              The Civil Service Commission prescribes the regulations to be
         followed by agencies in administering pay, leave, and other personnel
         matters in the Federal Personnel Manual,  The Individual Retirement
         Record, Standard Form 2806, which is required by the Federal Personnel
         Manual shows an employeets cumulative contributions to the Civil Serv-
         ice Retirement System and is used by the Civil Service Commission in
         adjudicating the retirement rights of a retired employee or his sur-
         vivors.  Therefore, errors in posting could affect the amount of the
         Civil Service annuity.
