         The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
         Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
         House of Representatives
         Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial Statement Audit
                   Report for the United Service Organizations, Incororated, for 1999

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of the
         United Service Organization, Incorporated, a federally chartered corporation, for the
         year ended December 31, 1999. The corporation serves the needs of military lifestyle
         by fostering a viable partnership between the military and civilian communities. To
         carry out this mission, the corporation operates centers at major military installations
         around the world, produces free-of-charge celebrity entertainment tours for military
         personnel stationed abroad, and manages donor-restricted scholarship and crisis
         funds for benefit of military personnel and their families.

         Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. 10101 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 auditors' 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 auditors' report, and made inquiries to corporation
         officials or the auditors as we deemed necessary. We did not review the auditors'
         working papers. Our review disclosed no reportable instances of noncompliance.
