         The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
         House of Representatives
         Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Financial Statement Audit Reportfor

                  the American GI Forum of the United States for Fiscal Year 2005

         Dear Mr. Sensenbrenner:

         As requested, we read the financial statements of the American GI Forum of the
         United States, a federally chartered corporation, for the fiscal year ended
         December 31, 2005. The corporation's purposes include upholding and defending the
         Constitution and the United States flag, and fostering and perpetuating the principles
         of American democracy.

         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 auditor's report and the corporation's financial statements to the
            Congress.

         Our objective was to advise you of any matters in the report 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, and
         performed certain analytical procedures related to information presented in the
         financial statements. We determined that the American GI Forum of the United States
         did not obtain an audit of its financial statements for fiscal year 2005 by an
         independent public accountant, and therefore did not comply with the above
         statutory requirement for such an audit. Instead, corporation officials informed us
         that they had the statements reviewed. Further, they informed us they plan to obtain
         a financial audit of the corporation's financial statements in the future.

         We did not perform an audit, and we are not rendering an audit opinion.
