House of Representatives

     This is in response to your July 15, 1977, request for
information on and an examination of several aspects of
Government-funded sterilizations. In subsequent disccssions
with Congressman Young's office, we agreed to limit our affort
to an examination of the administrative controls established
by the Department of Uealth, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to
assure compliance with its sterilization requirements. Also,
as agreed with his office, we further limited our review to
one HEW Regional Office and selected grantee acti.'ity in one
State in that region as a result of recent initiatives
announced by HEW to strengthen its sterilization requirements.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

     We conducted our review at HEW Region III in Philadelphia,
and at selected HEW grantees and their agents in Pennsylvania.l/
We determined what actions HEW took to implement its April 1971
sterilization regulations (45 C.F.R. 205.35 and 42 C.F.R. 50.201)
and, to a limited extent, how well HEW grantees and/or their
agents were complying with these regulations for the following
programs.

     --Medicaid, Title XIX of the Social Security Act, admin-
       'stered by the Health Care Financing Administration,



1/Region III includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
  Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
