      Dear Mr. Chairman:

          Subject: Selected Aspects of Howard University's
                    Operations and Use of Federally Appropriated
                    Funds (GAO/HRD-84-43)

          In your December 7, 1983, letter, you requested that we re-
     view certain activities of Howard University. We discussed your
     request with your staff, and as agreed, we compared Howard Uni-
     versity's faculty and administrative salaries with salaries at
     similar universities, as reported to higher education associa-
     tions that annually compile and report this data. We also ob-
     tained information regarding the accreditation of Howard's
     College of Medicine and its other 16 schools and colleges, and
     academic deficiencies that have been cited by accrediting
     bodies. We also compared certain statistical data on Howard's
     library operations with similar data reported by other universi-
     ties, and obtained financial data on Howard's acquisition and
     operation of the Howard Inn.

          The results of our review are summarized below. The scope
     and methodology and more detailed information are presented in
     enclosure I of this letter.
