      The Honorable Ed Jones
      Chairman, Subcommittee on Conservation,
          Credit, and Rural Development
      Committee on Agriculture
      House of Representatives

      Dear Mr. Chairman:

            Subject: Information on the Federal Crop Insurance
                      Corporation's 1986 Standard Reinsurance
                      Agreement (GAO/RCED-85-155)

            On May 13, 1985, you requested that we review the 1986
       reinsurance agreement between the Federal Crop Insurance Corpora-
       tion (FCIC) and insurance organizations, which are called rein-
       sured companies. PCIC is a government-owned corporation whose
       purpose is to promote the national welfare by improving the eco-
       nomic stability of agriculture through a program of crop insur-
       ance. Currently, it is providing $6.6 billion worth of insurance
       protection to farmers in 49 states and in over 3,000 counties.
            In response to your request and a subsequent meeting with
       your office, this letter provides information on

            --how the 1986 reinsurance agreement will work;

            --how the agreement compares to prior years' agreements;
              and

            --how reinsured companies could fare financially under
              the 1986 agreement, as well as the previous years'
              agreements, including information on the gain and loss
              distribution between FCIC and the reinsured companies.

       In addition, we agreed to provide a brief overview of FCIC's over-
       all financial condition as it relates to the Corporation's ability
       to meet its financial obligations over the next several months.

            A brief summary of the information we obtained in response to
       each of these points follows. Our detailed responses are included
       in appendixes I and II which deal with FCIC's reinsurance program
       and its financial condition, respectively.
