     The Honorable Jesse Helms

     United States Senate

     Dear Senator Helms:

          Subject: I Information on Selected Legal Services Activities
                     in North Carolina:(HRD-82-38)

          This report presents the results of our review of Legal Serv-
     ices of North Carolina, Inc. (LSNC), and one of its subgrantees,
     Eastern Carolina Legal Services, Inc. (ECLS). Our review focused
     on several allegations and questions you brought to our attention
     concerning:

          --LSNC's and ECLS' review and approval of applications by
            potential clients, including whether ECLS had rejected
            cases involving individual legal problems in favor of
            class-action litigation.

          --The reasonableness of ECLS' costs for managing its caseload.

          --The reasonableness of LSNC's purchase and ECLS' subsequent
            renovation of a building in Wilson, North Carolina, for
            use as ECLS office space.

          --The cost of operating LSNC as a central intermediary
            responsible for distributing funds and providing support
            to 15 legal services subgrantees in North Carolina.

          --The legality of LSNC's use of Federal funds to support
            lobbying activities.

          --Other miscellaneous issues relating to ECLS operations.


                                                                 (013977)
