   The Secretary of Agriculture                                  L06
                                                                 LM0970fi4
   Dear Mr. Secretary:
        Pursuant to section 309(g)'2) of the Consolidated Farm and
   Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1929(g)(2)), we have reviewed (1)
 the Farmers Home Administration's (FmHA'j) determination of the
. value of the Government's equity transferred in September 1972
   from its Direct Lo-c, Account and Emergency Credit Revolving Fund
   to the Agricultural Credit nsurance Fund and (2) FmHA's subsequent
   computations of changes in this equity.
        We made our review primarily at FmHA's national office in

   We reviewed applicable tegislation and FmHA procedures and records
   and discussed these matters with officials of the Departments of
   Ae-iculture and the Treasu-y and the Office of Managemer.t and
   Budget (0MB).

        Section 309(g)(1), which was added to the consolidated act
   by the Rural Development Act cf 1972, provides that the assets and
   liabilities of FmHA's Direct Loan Account and Emergency Zredit Re-
   volving Fund be transferred to the insurance fund and that the
   account and the revolving fund be abolished. Section 109(g)(2)
   requires that, from time to time and at lea .t at the ciose of each
   fiscal year, the Secretary of Agriculture pay frow the insurance
   fund into the Treasury interest on the value of the Government's
   equity transferred to the insurarce fund as determined by the
   Secretary, with approval of the Comptroller Seneral. Section 309
   (g)(2) provides also that the value be increased by the cumulative
   amount of appropriations, made available after enactment of this
   provision, for capital and for administration of the programs
   financed from the insurance fund and be reduced by the average
   undisbursed cash balance in h'e insurance fund during the year.

        The legislative history of the Rural Development Act is silent
   as t. the intent of the Congress in requiring the payment of interest
   on equity transferred to the insurance fund.
