         September 9, 2004

         The Honorable Tom  Davis
         Chairman
         Committee  on Government Reform
         House of Representatives

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         We appreciated the opportunity to testify on August 3, 2004, and assist the committee
         in its consideration of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations. As I testified, GAO
         has been actively involved in improving government's performance in the critically
         important homeland security area. And we look forward to continuing to work with
         your committee as it considers the many areas identified by the Commission as in
         need of reform.

         During the question-and-answer period of my testimony Congressman Christopher
         Shays asked us to prepare a summary of the Commission's recommendations and
         provide GAO's opinion as to whether the particular recommendations could be
         implemented administratively or required legislation to implement. Enclosed is the
         summary  my staff prepared in response to this request. Each item lists the contacts
         within GAO's General Counsel's office who are available to consult with your staff as
         needed.

         Please let us know whether we can be of any further assistance on this matter.

         Sincerely yours,




         David M. Walker
         Comptroller General
         of the United States
