    Audit takes House by surprise
GAO findings uncover mismanagement of funds in mail facility
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
surprise audit of the troubled
House Post Office last week found
an unlocked vault stacked with
$100 money orders, personal and
public money mixed together, and
employees ill-equipped to handle
stamps and cash.
The preliminary findings of
the General Accounting Office au
dit, an account of which was ob
tained by The Associated Press,
also said there were money short
ages and a House member's $580
expense account with an unex
plained "Do not process" note at
tached.
No written findings were is
sued, but key House officials were
briefed by the GAO on Monday.
The AP obtained the results
from the detailed written notes of
a staff member who attended the
session. A second congressional
source confirmed the findings.
Mismanagement at the House
mail facility has become a major
embarrassment for the House
Democratic leadership, along with
bad checks written at the cham
ber's former bank.
Three former post office em
ployees have pleaded guilty to
embezzlement and a fourth is
awaiting trial on an embezzlement
charge.
There have been published al
legations of illegal loans using
postal funds, and separate investi
gations are under way by a federal
grand jury and the House Admin
istration Committee.
The auditors, according to the
notes, found that errors were com
mon in daily sales reports and
there were money shortages at
stamp counters. The notes said the
unlocked vault, with the keys in
the lock, had stacks of $100 money
orders that may have totaled as
much as $75,000.
