Mr. Robert P. Mayo, President

Chicago, Illinois 60690
Dear Mr. Mayo:
We have reviewed the activities of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Chicago relating to the cancellation, verification, destruction,
and accounting for currency unfit for circulation. The review,
which was completed in January 1972, was made pursuant to Public
Law 89-427, approved May 20, 1966.
Our review was directed primarily toward an evaluation of
(1) the existing controls relating to the cancellation, verification, and destruction of unfit currency, (2) the related accounting and other records, and (3) the reports and supporting working
papers for several audits made by the General Auditor.
We found that the activities reviewed were conducted in a
generally satisfactory manner.
We thank you for the courtesy and cooperation given to our
representatives.
Sincerely yours,

M. R. Wofson
Regional Manager
