The Honorable Joseph Campbell
Comptroller General ort .e United States
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Campbell:
I have your letter of 16 May 1961 enclosing a copy of your letter of
the same date to the Honorable Paul J. Kilday with regard to your review
of selected activities of the Central Intelligence Agency for the purpose of
determining whether the scope of the audit of the General Accounting
Office could be expanded.
I wish to express my appreciation for your cooperation and under-
standing since our exchange of correspondence in October of 1959 which
formed the basis on which we have jointly attempted to expand GAO audit
activities in the Central Intelligence Agency. The reviews made by your
representatives have brought a number of matters to our attention which
have been helpful and on which corrective action either has been or is
being taken.
I believe that over the years the audit of Agency activities by the
General Accounting Office has been most beneficial and regret that you
plan to discontinue it completely. Before final action is taken I should
like very much to discuss with you the possibility of your continuing an
audit on some scale.
