               April 24, 1997

               The Honorable Alfonse M. D'Amato
               Chairman
               The Honorable Paul S. Sarbanes

               The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr.
               Chairman
               The Honorable John D. Dingell
               Ranking Minority Member
               Committee on Commerce
               House of Representatives

               Subject: Securities and Exchange Commission: Privately Offered Investment
                         Companies

                Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
                major rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
                entitled Privately Offered Investment Companies (RIN: 3235-AH09). We received
                the rules on April 3, 1997. They were published in the Federal Register as final
                rules on April 9, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 17512.

                The SEC is adopting the rules to implement the provisions of the National Securities
                Markets Improvement Act of 1996 (Act) as they apply to privately offered
                investment companies. The rules provide definitions necessary to effectuate the
                applicable provisions of the Act as well as providing certain interpretative
                provisions resulting from the changes made by the Act.

                Enclosed is our assessment of the SEC's compliance with the procedural steps
                required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rules.
                Our review indicates that the SEC complied with the applicable requirements.
