Dear Mr. Vissia.

     We have completed our review of the Bureau of Reclamation project
financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1974.  The
purpose of our review was to determine the reasonableness and propriety
of the project financial statements submitted to the Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA) for inclusion in the 1974 Federal Columbia River
Power System (FCRPS) consolidated statements.  We included such tests
of accounting records, financial procedures, and controls as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.

     We are pleased to report that the procedures and controls were
found to be adequate   Minor matters noted during our review were
discussed and resolved with your staff and are not described in this
letter.

     We did note that a $318,091 understatement of interest during
construction for the Columbia River Basin Project occurred because a
wrong figure was copied from a supporting worksheet to the project
financial statements.  Your staff sent a corrected Statement of
Revenue and Expenses to BPA which was used in the FCRPS consolidated
statements.

     A copy of this letter is being sent to the Director, Office of
Audit and Investigation, Department of the Interior.

     We wish to express our appreciation to you and your staff for the
courtesy and cooperation given our representatives during this review.

                                        Sincerely yours,




                                        hlip   A. Bernstein
