 Dear Mr. Dunphy*

       The General Accounting Office has made an audit of the operations
 of the Senate Office Beauty Shop for the calendar year 1969, pursuant to
 your request dated January 6, 1970. Our audit included an examination
 of the financial statements, appropriate tests of the accounting records,
 and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary,

      We observed several minor differences between equipment in the
 shop and information in the equipment records. We suggest, therefore,
 that the concessionairels accountant conduct a physical inventory of
 equipment and adjust the acco ing records accordingly.

      Also, we noted that during calendarfear 1969 the concessionaire
 paid from cash receipts over $4,100 in expenses for laundry, wigs, and
 insurance. We believe that, to provide better financial control, future
 expenses of this nature should be paid by check.

 GENERAL COMMENTS

      The beauty shop was established to provide convenient, efficient,
 and economical services to employees of the Senate. It has been operated
 as a gratuitous concession; that is, the concessionaire pays no fee for
 the privilege of operating the shop. Mrs. Myrtle B. Olivier has operated
 the beauty shop as concessionaire since September 6, 1967.

      At December 31, 1969, the staff of the beauty shop consisted of the
concessionaire, a receptionist, a full-time maid, a part-time maid, a
janitor, and 10 beauticians. The concessionaire did not receive a salary
from the shop but was entitled to the entire net income from its opera-
tion.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The accompanying financial statements have been furnished to us
by the firm of certified public accountants employed by the concessionaire
to maintain the accounting records of the shop. Transactions are re-
corded on an accrual basis. These statements do not include the cost of
