       The Honorable Henry J. Hyde
       House of Representatives
       Dear Mr. Hyde:                                          119922

            Subject: Summary of Survey on the Federal Sources of
                      Funding for Nine Nonprofit Organizations
                      (GAO/AFMD-83-9)


            Your November 16, 1981, letter requested us to determine if
       any of 17 organizations received Federal funds during calendar
       1977 through 1981 and distributed them to suborganizations which
       might have used those funds for political purposes or for any
       other prohibited activities.

            As agreed with your office, we determined the extent of Fed-
       eral funding to each of the specified organizations and determined
       the nature and extent of the six awarding Federal agencies' efforts
       to monitor the several grants and contracts in question. We also
       briefed your staff on two occasions and agreed to provide this
       letter summarizing the results of our work.

            We found that 9 of the 17 organizations received Federal funds
       during the 5-year period specified in your request. Six Federal
       agencies awarded 31 grants and 13 contracts totaling approximately
       $5.8 million to these 9 organizations.

            We also found that:

            --Ninety percent of all the grant and contract funds awarded
              to these organizations are subject to audit.

            --Eight completed audits have not disclosed any use of Federal
              funds for political purposes although some costs have been
              questioned for other reasons.

            --In two reported instances, personnel of these organizations
              were engaged in improper activities.

            --A majority of the grant-in-aid programs through which grants
              were awarded to these organizations have been terminated,
              will be terminated, or will become part of block grants to the
              States.
