         Subject: Financial Management: Audit of the Centennial of Flight Commission for
                 Fiscal Year 2003 and through May 19, 2004

         The Centennial of Flight Commission (Commission) was created on November 13,
         1998, by the Centennial of Flight Commemoration Act (Public Law 105-389, as
