You also requested our opinion as to whether the National Institutes of Health had a legal right to disburse Federal funds in. support of this concert, As stated in our letter to you of September 8t 1970, we have requested a report from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare regarding this matter. While that letter has been acknowledged, we have not yet received a final reply. We discussed the concert and its associated costv with officials of the National Institutes of Health who advised Us that the Government incurred estiinated costs of $2,048 in connection therewith, Of this amount, $1,123 represents costs which would not have been incurred if the concert had not been held. Overtime pay to National Institutes of Health security guards accounts for $1,098 of this amount, and the remain- ing $25 represents the costs of electrical material made available for the amplifying system used by the' band. No cost has been estimated for use of the National Institutes of Health's electric power because the quantity involved was considered negligible.
