         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 Boy Scouts of America for 1999

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As requested, we reviewed the audit report covering the financial statements of the
         Boy Scouts of America, a federally chartered corporation, for the year ended
         December 31, 1999. The corporation's purpose is to promote the ability of boys to do
         things for themselves and others; to train them in scoutcraft; and to teach them
         patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues.

         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.
