        Dear Mr. Luft:

             We rece tly completed our annual audit of the Federal Crop insurance
        Corporation  FCIC), Department of Agriculture, pursuant to the provisions
        of the Govnment   Corporation Control Act (31 U.S.C. 841) and the Federal
        Crop Insurance Act of 1938, as amended (7 U.SC.  1513).  During the audit
        we noted two reserve accounts which, in our opinion, were overstated and
        in one instance, possibly not needed.  These accounts are the Reserve for
        Uncollectible Debts Receivable and the Reserve for Surety Losses.  Our
        comments on the accounts follow,

        RESERVE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE
        DEBTS RECEIVABLE

             At June 30,  1968, the Reserve for Uncollectible Debts Receivable had
        a balance of  $1,561,888, which represented the estimated uncollectible
        premiums due under insurance contracts for crop years 1963 thiough 1968.
        As shown in the following schedule, the portion of the Reserve for Un-
        collectible Debts Receivable attributable to crop years 1963, 1964,and
        1965 is about $202,000 in excess of the actual amounts still outstanding
        for those years.
