Dear Mr. Smith:


     We have made a review for the settlement of accounts of
officers at your office for the period ended June 30, 1971.
was made pursuant to the Budget and Accounting Act, 1921 (31
and the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).


accountable
The review
U.S.C. 53),


     Our review was completed in January 1972 and was directed primarily
toward an evaluation of the procedures and controls relating to receipts
and disbursements and included such tests of transactions as we considered
necessary.  Our examination did not include a review of program activities
or procedures and controls related to the automated payroll system.

     We reviewed the audit report issued by the Office of Management
Analysis and Audits covering its review for the period February 1970
through January 1971.

     Although administrative procedures and internal control were generally
satisfactory, we found the deficiencies summarized below which we discussed
in general with you and in detail with responsible representatives of your
office and on which corrective action was taken or promised in most
instances.

PROCUREMENT DEFICIENCIES

     On several purchase orders of $2,500 or less, we found no evidence
of informal bid solicitation; and purchase terms relating to transportation
cost and cash discounts were omitted on the orders.

     In one instance we found that a payment was made for a quantity
greater than that shown on the receiving document.  In another instance
a payment was made for a transportation charge although delivery informa-
tion was not shown on the order.
