               Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial
                         Statement Audit Report of the Blinded Veterans Association
                         for Fiscal Year 1997

               Dear Mr. Chairman:

               As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of
               the Blinded Veterans Association, a federally chartered corporation, for the
               fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. The corporation promotes the welfare of
               blinded veterans by providing educational programs as well as a variety of field
               service programs.

               Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. 1102-1103 to

                     present the corporation's assets and liabilities and reasonable detail on
                     the corporation's income and expenses in annual financial statements,
                     obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant,
                     and
                     submit the auditor's report and the corporation's financial statements to
                     the Congress not later than 6 months following the close of the
                     corporation's fiscal year.

               The objective of our review was to determine whether the audit report
               complied with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying out
               our work, we reviewed the corporation's financial statements and the
               accompanying notes, performed certain analytical procedures related to
               information presented in the financial statements, reviewed the auditor's
               reports, and made any necessary inquiries to corporation officials or the auditor
               as we deemed necessary. We did not review the auditor's working papers.

               The audit report included the auditor's opinion that the financial statements of
               the corporation were presented in conformity with generally accepted

                                             GAO/AIMD-98-281R Blinded Veterans Association
