APPENDIX IV APPENDIX IV ' ‘ Page 73 Last paragraph should read: “These officials believe that OTIA is not exercising an effective oversight role due in part to an inability to enforce compliance by the territories with audit recommendations. This oversight responsibility conflicts with OTIA's statutory responsibility to support greater autonomy for the territorial governments." It should be noted also that when OTIA disagrees with recommendations made by the I.G., or when the I.G. attempts to make policy decisions outside its area of responsibility, OTIA often sided with the territorial governments, as is appropriate in its role as an advocate for the territories. Page 83 On the last line, the term “retains” would be preferable to “maintains". The latter implies an active role, and as a factual matter, that is inaccurate Sincerely, ~“ Richard T. Montoya Assistant Secretary Territorial and International Affairs 9000274 72
