             United States
GAO          General Accounting Office
             Washington, D.C. 20548

             Accounting and Information
             Management Division

             B-265744

             August 24, 1995

             The Honorable Martin Slate
             Executive Director
             Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation

             Dear Mr. Slate:

             On March 8, 1995, we issued our opinions on the Pension
             Benefit Guaranty Corporation's Single-Employer Fund and
             Multiemployer Fund September 30, 1994, financial statements
             and management's assertions regarding the effectiveness of
             its system of internal controls as of September 30, 1994. We
             also reported on the Corporation's compliance with selected
             laws and regulations during fiscal year 1994 (GAO/AIMD-95-83,
             March 8, 1995).

             The purpose of this letter is to document the results of our
             July 13, 1995, meeting with the Corporation's Chief Financial
             Officer, Directors of the Financial Operations and Contracts
             and Controls Review Departments, and Inspector General. In
             that meeting we discussed matters identified during our audit
             of the Corporation's September 30, 1994, financial statements
             regarding accounting procedures and internal controls where
             we believe improvement can be made. While these matters are
             not considered material in relation to the financial
             statements, we believe they warrant management's attention.
             The views of Corporation officials expressed at that meeting
             were considered in preparing this letter. The officials
             generally agreed with our findings and suggestions.

             Our August 29, 1994, management letter (GAO/AIMD-94-168ML)
             discussed the matters identified during our audit of the
             fiscal year 1993 financial statements and provided a full
             description of our findings and suggestions for improvement.
             During our audit of the Corporation's fiscal year 1994
             financial statements, we found that the Corporation had taken
             action which corrected 15 of the 28 matters reported last
             year in response to our suggestions for improvement.
             Further, the Corporation has plans in place to correct the
             remaining 13 matters. We discussed the status of 2 of these
             matters in our March 1995 report (page 9), and the remaining


                                                       GAO/AIMD-95-225R PBGC
