        The Honorable George McGovern
        Chairman.,o'y.Selct Committee on
          Nutrition and Human Needs
        United States Senate

        Dear Mr. Chairman:
             Pursuant to your request of February 17, 1977, we are
        reviewing the operation of the 1977 Summer Food Service
        Program for Children. Based on your request, Senator Percy's
        supporting request of March 25, 1977, our previous work in
        this area, and consultations with Committee staff, we devel:
        oped an overall work plan which was described to the Committee
        staff in a meeting on May 25, 1977. This letter describes the
        general aspects of the program to which we plan to direct our
        work and confirms the agreements reached with Committee staff.

             Our overall objective is to determine how effective the
        administrative changes in the program for this year have been
        in correcting abuses and improving overall program operations,
        and to obtain information on the need for additional changes,
        both administrative and legislative. We plan to give special
        emphasis to the activities of the Department of Agriculture's
        Food and Nutrition Service and the States in the pre-feeding
        phase of the program. We plan to do our work in New York City,
        Philadelphia, and Los Angeles and at the related State agencies
        and Service regional offices. We also plan to do some limited
        work in Baltimore to see how the new regulations affect a
        program which was relatively well run in 1976.

             We plan to cover the following program aspects in our
        work.

             --Guidance and assistance provided by the Service
               to the States in interpreting the new regulations,
               establishing training programs for State and
               sponsor personnel, selecting sponsors, monitoring
               and evaluating program operations, and carrying
               out other program activities.
