 AUDITORS' OPINION
    We conducted a compliance examination of the Drycleaner Environmental Response Trust Fund Council of Illinois as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We have not audited any financial statements of the Council for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the agency does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.       ___________________________________ WILLIAM G. HOLLAND, Auditor General     WGH:JSC:pp     SPECIAL ASSISTANT AUDITORS
    Our special assistant auditors for this audit were Sikich Gardner & Co, LLP.
