         The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
         Chairman
         Committee on the Judiciary
         House of Representatives

         Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Financial Statement Audit Reports for
                   the National Conference of State Societies, Washington, District of
                   Columbia, for Fiscal Years 2003 and 2002

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

         As requested, we read the audit reports covering the financial statements of the
         National Conference of State Societies, Washington, District of Columbia, a federally
         chartered corporation, for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002. The
         corporation's purpose is to promote friendly and cooperative relations between the
         various state and territorial societies in the District of Columbia, and to foster,
         participate in, and encourage educational, cultural, charitable, civic, and patriotic
         programs and activities in the District of Columbia.

         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 and

         * obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant.

         Our objective was to advise you of any matters in the reports regarding compliance
         with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying out our work, we
         read the corporation's financial statements and the accompanying notes, performed
         certain analytical procedures related to information presented in the financial
         statements, and read the auditor's reports. We also held limited discussions with the
         corporation's auditor regarding potential enhancements that could be made to the
         corporation's financial reporting. We did not identify any instance of noncompliance
         with the above financial reporting requirements of the law.

         We did not perform an audit or review the auditor's working papers, and we are not
         rendering an audit opinion.
