handle is hein.gao/gaocrptanxn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: SGAO Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 December 12, 2001 The Honorable Robert C. Byrd The Honorable J. Dennis Hastert Co-Chairmen United States Capitol Preservation Commission Subject: Capitol Preservation Commission Attestation Engagement The United States Capitol Preservation Commission is the designated recipient of commemorative coin surcharge funds authorized by the United States Capitol Visitor Center Commemorative Coin Act of 1999 (Sections 201-208 of Public Law 106-126; 31 U.S.C. 5112 note). Under provisions of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 1997 (Section 529 of Public Law 104-208; 31 U.S.C. 5134(f)) and the U.S. Mint's Compliance Procedures for Surcharge Eligibility, the commission must meet certain requirements before it is eligible to begin receiving available coin surcharge funds. Pursuant to the U.S. Mint's procedures, management of the commission must provide the U.S. Mint with written eligibility-related assertions associated with the commission's receipt and use of private matching funds, and an independent auditor must examine the assertions. We were asked by management to examine its written assertions (dated November 15, 2001) and report on the results of our examination. In our opinion, management's assertions concerning the commission's receipt and use of private matching funds pursuant to Section 529 of Public Law 104-208, Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 1997 (31 U.S.C. 5134(f)); Sections 201-208 of Public Law 106-126, the United States Capitol Visitor Center Commemorative Coin Act of 1999 (31 U.S.C. 5112 note); and the U.S. Mint's Compliance Procedures for Surcharge Eligibility are fairly stated in all material respects. Management of the commission is responsible for * the commission's compliance with requirements associated with the receipt and use of private matching funds and commemorative coin surcharge proceeds and * providing the U.S. Mint with written assertions about the commission's eligibility to receive coin surcharge proceeds and its receipt and use of private matching funds, in accordance with guidance established by the U.S. Mint along with the commission's Schedule of Funds Raised from Private Sources. (We have enclosed a copy of the commission management's written assertions and related schedule.) GAO-02-267R Capitol Preservation
