Government ‘bungling
Millions lost in grants
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The federal
government lets hundreds of mil
lions of dollars slip through its fin
gers each year because of bureacra-
tic bungling in the supervision of
grants and contracts, an official
study reported over the weekend.
Most of the money involved —
there is a current backlog of $4.3 bil
lion in unresolved cases — is being
pocketed illegally by private con
tractors and grantees, the still-
unpublished study said.
After reading the report. White
House budget director James McIn
tyre labeled the situation “intolera
ble” and ordered that “corrective
action must be taken at once.”
The study by the General Ac
counting Office, the investigative
arm of Congress, said 14,000 audits
of grants and contracts involving 34
government agencies and $4.3 bil
lion are unresolved.
The report, obtained by United
Press International, said about 80
percent of money represented “po
tential recoveries” of misspent funds
that could be returned to the Treas
ury. Some cases had been on the
books for up to 10 years.
It also said that government pro
gram administrators, who have the
“final word” on a settlement of ques
tioned expenditures, consider “the
task of resolving audit findings
onerous and therefore of low prior
ity.”
The report noted that few agen
cies have “adequate systems for
tracking and resolving audit find
ings, resulting in inadequate resolu
tion . ”
Of the 34 agencies in the study,
only the Department of Interior and
the Smithsonian Institution were
judged to be in compliance with
government requirements for re
solving audits.
Two examples among the scores
of alleged shoddy practices men
tioned by the GAO were:

gram officials finally agreed with the
auditors. But “recovery will be dif
ficult, if not impossible, because the
agency no longer does business with
the contractor.”
—For 19 months, administrators
at the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare foiled to send a
letter demanding the return of a
$2.1 million grant, causing a $1.5
million loss because the statute of
limitation expired.
High-priced undies
now a pub display
United Press International
It’s difficult to believe anyone would pay money for someone else’s
undergarment — much less $3,000 — as has a Houston couple who
recently purchased bloomers that belonged to Queen Victoria at a
Canadian auction.
Pub owner Jim Anderson and his wife, Joyce, outbid an
Englishman for the 42-inch-waist royal underwear this week and now
have them prominently displayed at Sherlock’s Baker Street Bar,
which the Andersons own.
Anderson said he plans to encase the bloomers — and a pair of
royal beige stockings picked up for $500 — for display at his pub. The
bloomers bear the royal crest on the waistband.
Hill, Krueger visit
B-CS on the stump
By CHARLES HARPER
Battalion Reporter
Political pep-talks and backslapping was the order of the day as
local Democrats Friday hosted a reception for John Hill, Democratic
hopeful for governor, at the Ramada Inn in College Station.
Hill was accompanied by fellow Democrat U.S. Rep. Bob Krueger
of New Braunfels.
Campaigning for the U.S. Senate, Krueger set the mood for the
reception with his opening remarks.
“I can tell that Tm among Democrats; everyone here will shake
hands,” Krueger joked, referring to an incident with Republican Sen.
John Tower at the Dallas Press Club. Tower refused to shake
Krueger’s hand when the Democrat offered to shake.
The pep talk continued. “I’m proud to be with the party,” said
Krueger. “Let’s get LBJ’s (senate) seat back.”
The remainder of the conference was in the mood of political
backslapping as the candidate for governor spoke.
“I support positive action in government,” Hill said, referring to
the three-state fight against federal regulation of intra-state gas sales.
Hill said that after his election he would “lend his full support” to the
new attorney general in the suit against the federal government. Hill
was not specific, however, as to how he would lend his support.
Hill also said he supports education, although he didn’t specify in
what ways until an interview after the reception:
Reporter: “Mr. Hill, could you explain what you mean when you
said you supported education?”
Hill: “I don’t see any reason for you to be so belligerent.”
Reporter: “Mr. Hill, I’m not trying to be belligerent, I just need to
have this explained.”
Hill: “Uh-huh.”
Press agent to reporter: “Mr. Hill needs to be going.”
Hill later said this involved supporting educational programs at the
research level.
After saying there is a need to define the University’s roles, Hill
hurried away to one of several waiting helicopters to fly to his next
destination.
