                Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary

                Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement
                          Audit Reports of the National Fund for Medical Education, for Fiscal
                          Years 1994 Through 1997

                Dear Mr. Chairman:

                As requested, we reviewed the audit reports covering the financial statements of
                the National Fund for Medical Education, a federally chartered corporation, for
                the fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. The corporation
                promotes improvement in and interprets the importance of medical education
                and prepares health professions for a future role in health care delivery.

                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 iollowing the close of the
                      corporation's fiscal year.

                The objective of our review was to determine whether the audit reports
                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 auditors'
                reports, and made any necessary inquiries to corporation officials or the
                auditors as we deemed necessary. We did not review the auditors' working
                papers.

                The audit reports included the auditors' opinions that the financial statements
                of the corporation were presented in conformity with generally accepted
