          Dear Mr, James:

               We have made a review for the settlemnt of the accounts
          of the accountable officers of the Vorest Service Regional Office,
          Miluaukee, Wisconsin, fot the period through June 30g 1969. The
          review, corpleted in tay 1970, was rmade pursuant to the Budget
          and Accounting Act, 1921 (31 US0,  53), and the Accounting and
          Auditing Act of 1950 (31 USGo  67).

               Our review was directed primarily toward evaluating current
          administrative procedures and controls over receipts and
          disbursements of funds, and included such tests of financial
          transactions as we considered necessary0 Program operations were
          not included in this review. In establishing the scope of our
          work, consideration was given to the most recent annual accounting
          compliance inspection reports dated AuguAt 28 1969p and the
          related working paperce

               Our review disclosed no significant weaknesses in administrative
          procadures and internal controls and related receipts and
          disbursements ware generally handled in a satisfactory manner,
          However, certain vatters indicating a need for im: provem'ent in
          administrative operations ware noted during our review and discussed
          with you and numbers of your staff, Although corrcetive action
          was initiated or being considered with respect to these matters
          they are summarized below for your information.

               -- court leave for jury duty was not always supported
                  by documents showing date of service and rate of pay0

               -- two employees had failed to refund the amount received
                  for jury duty they had perforred 12 months and four
                  months respectively, prior to the time of our review.
                  After this situation was called to the attention of
                  personnel of your office, collections of $444 and $84
                  were mad e,                            . ... ....................... -
