         The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
         Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
         House of Representatives

         Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement Audit
                  Report for the American Council of Learned Societies for Fiscal Year 2000

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of the
         American Council of Learned Societies, a federally chartered corporation, for the
         fiscal year ended September 30, 2000. The corporation's purpose is the advancement
         of humanistic studies in all fields of learning and the maintenance and strengthening
         of relations among the national societies devoted to such studies.

         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 auditors' 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 auditors' report, and made inquiries to corporation
         officials or the auditors as we deemed necessary. We did not review the auditors'
         working papers. Our review disclosed no reportable instances of noncompliance.
