The project was discontinued in January 1969. The alleged irregularities were described in a letter to you dated April 22, 1970, from Mr. Gerald Marlett of Union City$ Oklahoma. As suggested in your letter, we interviewed Mr. Marlett to obtain the specific information he had concerning the alleged irregularities. In addition, we reviewed pertinent records and interviewed officials at the Department of Labot's regional office in Dallas, Texass and at Caddo. At Caddo we interviewed the two individuals who had served as director and assistant director of the project. We also visited certain private establishments in Hinton and Anadarko, Oklahoma, which were mentioned in Mr. Marlett's letter to you. Our examination was directed toward ascertaining whether the matters specified in Mr. Marlett's letter constituted irregularities in the oper- ation of the project and not toward an overall evaluation of either the Neighborhood Youth Corps program or the project headquartered at Binger. Although we found that the information furnished by Mr. Marlett was cor- rect in many respects, our examination did not indicate any improper expenditures of project funds. The results of ouz examination are set forth below, preceded, for your information, by a brief description of the Neighborhood Youth Corps programs NEIGHBORHOOD YOUTH CORPS PROGRAM The Economic Oppoitunity Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2701), authorized the establishment of the Neighborhood Youth Corps program.
