As you are probably aware, there were numerous audit exceptions and basic problems with the grant, many of which are associated with its late congressional appropriation each year. There are several ways in which grant exceptions can be handled, but through extensive review, the attz.ched agreement seems to be the least painful for all concerned. Would you please review it and if it is acceptable to you, please sign all four copies, keep one, and return the remaining three copies to our office in the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope.. ?A'e are a"Jar2 nu:~' Cf many Of the problems Caused- Ny. tY'.3.~ £,r an t and hope that if it is available in the future, that~it can be appropriated early enough to be well organized and to pro- vide enough time for the communities to make tYieir purchases within the project period. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, DALE R.
