The Department of Agriculture revised the
program's regulations to try to prevent
abuses. GAO is recommending additional
changes covering sponsor and site selection
and termination, contracting procedures,
State staffing and monitoring, sponsor record-
keeping, and advances of funds. Many of
these changes would not be necessary if only
schools and public agencies were permitted to
be sponsors.

GAO is recommending that the program's
authorizing legislation be revised to authorize
only schools and public agencies as sponsors.
GAO is also recommending legislative changes
dealing with administrative funds for States
and sponsors, definitions of eligible sponsors
and children, the number of food services
allowed eacb day, and the issuance of pro-
gram regulations

 The Summer Feeding Program--

 How To Feed The Children

 And Stop Program Abuses

 Food and Nutrition Service
 Department of Agriculture
 Serious abuses--criminal as well as administra-
 tive--have occurred in the summer feeding
 program. Most have involved private nonprof-
 it organizations which comprised three-
 fourths of the program's sponsors. Public
 agency sponsors, such  as schools and  park
 departments, operated  programs  relatively
 free of abuses.
