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

         Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement Audit
                   Reports for the Gold Star Wives of America, Incorporated, for Fiscal Years
                   2001 and 2000

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As requested, we reviewed the audit reports covering the financial statements of the
         Gold Star Wives of America, Incorporated, a federally chartered corporation, for the
         fiscal years ended May 31, 2001 and 2000. The corporation's purpose is to operate in
         the public interest for patriotic, charitable, literary, educational, scientific or civic
         improvement purposes to honor the memory of those who have served the United
         States.

         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 reports 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, and reviewed the auditors' reports. However, we did not review
         the auditors' working papers, and we are not rendering an audit opinion. Our review
         disclosed no reportable instances of noncompliance with the financial reporting
         requirements of the law.
