...Secretary, Jack Kemp, promises to clean up the mess that Pierce and his cohort left behind. Kemp has canceled all 1989 Moderate Rehabilitation programs, called for an audit of 300 housing projects that have already received rent subsidies and demanded that 53 HUD field officers explain what happened to the funds that appear to be missing. "There's much work to do here, and I enjoy it," says Kemp. "President Bush has charged me with the responsibility to reform the agency from stem to stern, and that's what I intend to do." He has his task...
There has not been a municipal audit since 1985, but estimates of current debt run as high as $40 million. The city's mercurial third-term mayor, Carl Officer, 37, has gone so far as to propose selling city hall and six fire stations to raise cash, assuming anybody would buy them.

Amid all the week's eruptions, Gorbachev continued to dominate. In a 95- minute policy speech, he offered help for low-income Soviets, ordered an audit of all the benefits and privileges enjoyed by the ruling elite, and called for cuts in capital construction and the space program.

If the tax board granted him the refund, said Collis, "we are in effect asking other California taxpayers to subsidize Mr. Agnew's wrongdoing...
...West German Finance Ministry did not even begin an audit of Imhausen until the U.S. stepped up its pressure on Bonn around Christmas. The delay occurred, says Ost, because "some things have to be pursued in a discreet manner." Discretion, however, quickly gave way to finger pointing. Press reports obviously based on leaks from U.S. officials began appearing on New Year's Day. The next day, through a spokesman, Bonn issued the first of several denials, claiming that "we have no evidence so far that German firms or persons have been involved" in the Libyan project...
