Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement Audit
         Report for the Blue Star Mothers of America, Incorporated, for Fiscal Year 1999

Dear Mr. Chairman:

As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of the Blue Star
Mothers of America, Incorporated, a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1999. The corporation's purpose is to perpetuate the memory of the men
and women who have served our country as members of the Armed Forces.

Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. 10101 to

*  present the corporation's assets and liabilities and reasonable detail on the corporation's
   income and expenses in annual financial statements,

*  obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant, and

*  submit the auditor's report and the corporation's financial statements to the Congress.

The objective of our review was to determine whether the audit report complied with the
financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying out our work, we reviewed the
corporation's financial statements and the accompanying notes, performed certain analytical
procedures related to information presented in the financial statements, reviewed the
auditor's report, and made inquiries to corporation officials or the auditor as we deemed
necessary. We did not review the auditor's working papers. Our review disclosed no
reportable instances of noncompliance.
