Marked progress by mary individual agencies and aggregate accom- plishments wide in scope and far-reaching in importance characterize the attached report which has been prepared with the cooperation and assistance of your representatives. The Secretary of the Treasury, Director of the Bureau of the Budget and I take great satisfaction in the enthusiastic manner in which the many agencies have accepted their responsibilities and taken advantage of their opportunities to improve accounting and internal control. The cumulative effect of this evolutionary approach to improved financial administration fully justifies the faith of the Congress in providing in the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950 for the continuation of that approach. That Act clearly placed upon the head of each execu- tive agency the responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate systems of accounting and internal control. Encouraging as the progress to date has been, and particularly the ever-increasing momentum of agency efforts, we are certain you will agree that much remains to be done. In view of the vast and complex problems which face the Federal Government, we need to devote special attention to those areas where progress of the sort illustrated in th:is report has not been made, and to place continued emphasis on keeping abreast of new developments. Your continued cooperation in giving this program the active support of top management so vital to its success is appreciated as well as the conscientious efforts of the many people more directly engaged in carrying out the day-to-day work which leads to achievements of the character described In the attached report. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Director of' the Bureau of the Budget join me in soliciting any suggestions you ma.y have to increase the effectiveness of our cooperative progruam.
