Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement
         Audit Report for The National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum for 1997


Dear Mr. Chairman:

As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of The National
Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, a federally chartered corporation, for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The purpose of the corporation is to recognize people who have made
contributions to the establishment, development, advancement, or improvement of mining in
the United States. The corporation has also established and maintained a library and
museum for collecting and preserving matters related to mining.

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.

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 report, and made inquiries to corporation officials or the auditor as we deemed
necessary. We did not review the auditor's working papers. Our review disclosed no
reportable instances of noncompliance.
