Dear Mr. Chairman:

     In further response to your letter of January 26, 1970, we are
reporting on our review of the management of seled    nnppropriated
funds at Headquarters, U. S. A-.-,Ta7vy,Air Force, and Marine Corps.

     Our review was directed toward an evaluation of the systems of
accounting and internal control and the adequacy of audits of the
funds. We examined accounting and auditing reports and records,

regulations, and held discussions with officials responsible for each
fund.

its headquarters to provide for services common to various types of
command and installation nonappropriated fund activities. Our review
included the following headquarters funds: (1) Army Central Welfare
Fund and Army Central Mess Fund, (2) Navy Central Recreation Fund,
(3) Air Force Central Welfare Fund and Air Force Central Mess Fund,
(4) Marine Corps Central Recreation Fund and Marine Corps Mess Fund,
and (5) the Army and Air Force Civilian Welfare Fund.

     At the time of our fieldwork, the combined income reported by the
funds for their most recent fiscal years was $111 million. Combined
assets at the end of the respective fiscal years totaled $140 million,
of which $86 million was invested in Government securities. Financial

funds are included as enclosures I through X for general information
purposes only, since the scope of our work was not designed for the
