Itz        Comptrolier General
           of the United States
           Wahitmoon, D.C. 20548

           B-159292



           November 10, 1988

           To the President of the Senate and the
           Speaker of the House of Representatives

           Section 408(b)(3)(I) of the Rural Electrification Act of
           1936, as amended on December 22, 1987, by the Omnibus Budget
           Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-203), requires us
           to annually review the interest rate charged to borrowers,
           referred to as the cost of money rate, as determined by the
           Governor of the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) for the preceding
           fiscal year. We are to report to the Congress on the
           accuracy of the interest rate determination within 15 days of
           receiving it. On October 20, 1988, we received RTB's
           initial rate determination, which was subsequently revised on
           October 28, 1988. Both the initial and revised
           determinations resulted in establishing RTB's fiscal year
           1988 cost of money rate at 5.00 percent. We reviewed the
           rate determination and found it to be in accordance with the
           -requirements of section 1411(c)of the Omnibus Budget
           Reconciliation Act of 1987, and 7 CFR Part 1610.

           Enclosure I provides specific information about our review
           of the rate determination, including our assessment of RTB's
           interpretation of one provision of the legislative formula
           for establishing the rate. Enclosure II is a copy of RTB's
           revised interest rate notice along with the details of its
           calculation of the interest rate to be applied to loans
           issued during fiscal year 1988.
