         The Honorable Mike DeWine
         Chairman
         The Honorable Mary Landrieu
         Ranking Member
         Subcommittee on the District
           of Columbia
         Committee on Appropriations
         United States Senate

         The Honorable Joe Knollenberg
         Chairman
         The Honorable Chaka Fattah
         Ranking Minority Member
         Subcommittee on the District
           of Columbia
         Committee on Appropriations
         House of Representatives

         Subject: District of Columbia: National Museum of American Music

         The conference report accompanying the District of Columbia Appropriations Act of
         Fiscal Year 2001 directed us to review the National Museum of American Music
         (NMAM) proposal targeted for the current Convention Center site in downtown
         Washington, D.C., and to provide certain information to the Appropriations
         Committees by April 1, 2001. The NMAM proposal is in the conceptual stage and the
         Mayor's office has not yet decided on how to use the current Convention Center site
         once the new Convention Center is ready. Therefore, as agreed with your staff, we
         obtained information on the status of the NMAM proposal and the decision process of
         the Convention Center Redevelopment Task Force as well as information currently
         available related to the four questions in the conference report.

         On March 1, 2001, we briefed the staff of both of your Subcommittees on the results
         of our review. Your staff asked us to provide additional information about the use of
         the $300,000 appropriation for the needs and design study for the proposed NMAM.
         We have incorporated this information in the briefing slides enclosed with this letter.
         Also, we agreed to monitor the ongoing events related to the NMAM proposal until
         the District makes a decision and to keep your offices informed of any major
         developments.
