    The Honorable Ernest F. Hollings
01  United States Senate

    Dear Senator Hollings:

         In response to your request of February 4, 1974, we
    have reviewed the activities of the Charleston Area
    Comprehensive Health Planning (CACHP) agency, Charleston, '17s
    South Carolina, applicable to grants made by the Department
  7-..of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). We examined the  2'-'
  financial records of The United Way, Incorporated,1 which P.-2474
    maintains the CACHP financial records and is the parent
    organization of CACHP. We also reviewed CACHP's program
    activities, to the extent necessary, to determine the
    agency's status in relation to the purposes for which the
    grants were made but did not attempt to evaluate those
    activities. Our examination covered the period from
    June 1, 1969, through January 31, 1974.

         Although we did not submit our findings and conclusions
    to CACHP, The United Way, or HEW for review and written
    comments, we discussed our findings with officials of these
    agencies, and their comments have been considered in prepar-
    ing this report.

    BACKGROUND

         CACHP was organized in 1969 by The United Way, as one
    of its divisions, to carry out comprehensive health planning
    for Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester Counties, South
    Carolina (referred to as the tricounty area). CACHP
    received its first grant from HEW under section 314(b) of
    the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 246) on June 1,
    1969.

         HEW's program guide for areawide comprehensive health
    planning (CHP) agencies provides that the planning should
    focu-s on the people of an area and the circumstances and
    actions that contribute to or interfere with their physical
    and mental health and the healthfulness of their environ-
    ment. The program guide also provides that CHP agencies,



    lFormerly United Community Services, Incorporated. The
    United Way is the charitable fundraising and plan-
    ning agency for the Charleston Area.
