         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 Pearl Harbor Survivors Association for Fiscal Year 2001

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of the
         Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal
         year ended September 30, 2001. The corporation's purpose is to collate, preserve,
         and encourage the study of historical episodes, chronicles, mementos, and events
         pertaining to The Day of Infamy, 7 December 1941, and in particular those
         memories and records of patriotic service performed by the heroic Pearl Harbor
         survivors and nonsurvivors.

         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, and reviewed the auditors' report. 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.
