Dear Mr. Condon I

     We have made a review for the settlement of the accounts of
certifying officers of the Central Office of the Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Development (HUD), Washington, D. C., through fiscal
year 1968.  Our review was biade pursuant to the Budget and Account-
ing Act, 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53), and the Accounting and Auditing Act
of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).

     The review consisted of an evaluatiop of-;selected a4ministrative
procedures and internal controls relative to receipts and disburse-
ments and included such tests of financial transactions and  records
as we considered appropriate.  We also reviewed the audit  reports
issued by the HUD Office of Audit applicable  to the activities that
we examined and used informatton in the working papers  supporting
the reports to supplement our work.

     We are pleased to inform you that we found  the administrative
procedures and internal controls we reviewed  to be generally satis-
factory and the selected financial transactions which we  reviewed
were generally processed in a sitisfactory manner.  We  noted, how-
ever, the following two matter* we wish  to call to your attention.

     1.  We found that one of the  internal controls that we evain-
ated was in need of Improvement.   In this regard, we noted that 20
of the 63 individuals who were authorized  to distribute salary
cheeks were also time and attendance reporting officers.  As  pro-
vided in Section 16 of Title 6 of  the General Accounting Office
Policy and Procedures Manual for Guidance of Federal Agencies,  per-
sons designated to deliver salary checks  should not participate in
the maintenance of time and attendance records.  This  matter was
discussed with the Director of the Office of Financial  Systems and
Services who agreed to take corrective action.

     Zk  We noted that an employee was  reimbursed $605 for the cost
of mortgage insurance that had been incurred  pursuant to a change
of duty station.  Bureau of the Budget Circular A-56, dated
October 12, 1966, prohibits Government departments and agencies
