PUBLIC LAW 95-320—JULY 21, 1978 "(B) The Office may disclose information in a form which would identify a customer of a closed bank or closed bank holding company only if that customer, in the opinion of the Comptroller General, had a controlling influence in the management of such closed bank or closed bank holding company or was related to or affiliated with such a controlling person or group, and then only to the extent that such disclosures relate to the affairs of such closed bank or closed bank holding company. "(C) Subparagraph (A) shall not be deemed to prohibit the Office or its employees from discussing specific customers, banks, or bank holding companies with officials of any of the agencies or from reporting apparent criminal law violations to appropriate State or Federal law enforcement agencies. "(D) Nothing in this subsection shall authorize the withholding of information by any officer or employee of an agency from a duly authorized committee or subcommittee of the Congress. "(6)(A) The Comptroller General shall, as frequently as may be practicable, make reports to the Congress on the results of audit work performed under this subsection. "(B) An advance draft of such Office audit report shall be made available to the agency concerned (other than banks, branches, and facilities) for thirty days for agency comment on the contents thereof. The final report shall include, as an addendum, any written comments submitted by the agency within such period. "(7)(A) For the purposes of, and to the extent necessary in making audits required by paragraph (1), representatives of the Office shall have access to all books, accounts, records, reports, files, memorandums, papers, things, and property belonging to or in use by the entities being audited, including statistically meaningful samples, determined by the Office, of reports of examination of banks or bank holding companies, from whatever source, together with workpapers and correspondence relating to such reports whether or not a part of the reports; and all without deletions.
