                COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                          WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548




B- 114818



To the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives

      The General Accounting Office has examined the financial state-
ments of the Veterans Canteen Service, Veterans Administration, for
fiscal year 1972. Our examination, required by the act of September 2,
1958, (38 U.S.C. 4207) was made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and included tests of the accounting records and such
other auditing procedures as we considered necessary.

      In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present
fairly the financial position of the Veterans Canteen Service at June 30,
1972, and the results of its operations and the sources and application
of its funds for the year then ended, in conformity with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of
the preceding year and with applicable Federal laws.

      The act of August 7, 1946, which authorized the establishment of
the Veterans Canteen Service, provided for funds to be appropriated
from the U.S. Treasury and deposited in a revolving fund in such
amounts as were needed to finance the establishment, maintenance, and
operation of the Service. During fiscal years 1947 and 1948, $4,965,000
was appropriated from the Treasury. No additional funds have been
appropriated.

      The authorizing legislation provides that any balance in the re-
volving fund at the close of the fiscal year in excess of the estimated
requirements for the ensuing fiscal year be deposited into the Treasury
as miscellaneous receipts. In fiscal year 1950 the Service began re-
turning such excess funds to the Treasury and has continued this prac-
tice periodically. The excess funds returned to the Treasury amount
to about $12 million, and the last transfer was made in fiscal year
1969. The Service has estimated that no excess funds will be available
for transfer to the Treasury during fiscal year 1973.
