     The Honorable Peter W. Rodino, Jr.
     Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
     House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. Chairman:

          Subject: 'Legal Services Corporation Grants to
                    Establish Three New National Support Centers
                    (GAO/HRD-85-54)

          In response to your October 31, 1984, request and later
     discussions with your office, we are reporting on the Legal
     Services Corporation's (LSC's) September 30, 1984, award of
     grants to establish three new national support centers. Speci-
     fically, we agreed to provide information on:

          --LSC's grant-making procedures, such as performing a needs
            assessment and soliciting competitive bids, followed in
            establishing prior national support centers and the three
            new national support centers.

          --The origin of the grants and the individuals involved in
            any activities between LSC and representatives of the
            grantees leading to the award of the grants.

          We reviewed the LSC act and other applicable laws, LSC's
     regulations and policies, LSC studies and documents, and gran-
     tees' documents. We interviewed present and former LSC offi-
     cials responsible for establishing national support centers as
     well as officials from the three new national support centers.
     (Our objective, scope, and methodology are detailed in enc. I.)

          Some of the information contained in the report is based on
     oral comments, which at times were contradictory and difficult
     to corroborate due to individuals' poor recollection of specific
     dates, time frames, events, or meetings.

                                                              (118127)







                                                              126619
