Wampler Ranking Minority Member Committee on Agriculture RESTRICTED - Not to be reeased Outside the eermu House of Representatives Acc'untng Office except on the 5s of specific ajprov3 SIthie Office of Co-,greSsiO.M b'z1 fseccapoa Dear Mr. Wampler: Fefef -eo F s. Subject: Legal Services Corporation Grantees' Involvement in Activities Concerning the Tazewell County, Virginia, Workfare Project (HRD-82-34) We have developed information pursuant to your July 13 and August 28, 1981, requests relating to the Tazewell County, Virginia, workfare project. In response to your initial request, we examined the activi- ties of the National Social Science and Law Center (NSSLC) and the Client Centered Legal Services (CCLS) of Southwest Virginia, Inc.-- both funded by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC)--to ascertain whether these organizations interfered with or impeded the imple- mentation of provisions of the Food Stamp Act. In response to your second request, we reviewed information concerning allegations that Federal funds were used illegally to persuade participants at an August 13, 1981, meeting in Tazewell County to lobby other Virginia local governing bodies not to permit workfare projects in their jurisdictions. We believe that the activities of the legal serv- ices organizations in Tazewell County did not violate the provisions of applicable statutes. The information we developed on these matters was obtained primarily from interviews with LSC and NSSLC officials and our analysis of pertinent documentation obtained from LSC and NSSLC (one of LSC's support ccnters), both located in Washington, D.C. Additional documentation and clarifying information were obtained from officials of the Tazewell County, Virginia, workfare demonstra- tion project; the CCLS of Southwest Virginia, Inc., in Castlewood, Virginia; the Client Council of Tazewell, Virginia; the Virginia Poverty Law Center; the Virginia Anti-flunger Coalition; and certain local citizens involved in the activities discussed in the enclosure. 6(013975) 117603
