GENERAL GOVERNMENTRE ASD o l u ) DIVISIONRELEASED 0 0 B-1 58811 MAY 311974 The Honorable Charles W. Sandman, Jr. House of Representatives Dear Mr. Sandman: Your October 16, 1973, letter requested that we examine the awarding of grants by the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines 2 / (CCLM), which receives about 50 percent of its funds from the National 2Endowment for the Arts. Your request was based on a letter from a /constituent, who alleged that CCLM --grant award committee members are all poets who make grants only to poetry magazines, although CCLM claims to represent all types of literary magazines; --procedures were not adequate for insuring that its grantees properly match CCLM grants; and --grantees were probably overstating expenses, especially publishing costs, on their grant applications and then pocketing these funds as salary. We discussed these matters with Endowment and CCLM officials and reviewed pertinent records. Grantees were not contacted. BACKGROUND CCLM was established in 1967 to aid small literary magazines by providing them grants for general operating purposes and to pay individual writers. Additionally, CCLM sponsors special projects, such as semiannual regional meetings of literary magazine editors, writers, and students and an annual college literary magazine contest. About 350 of approximately 1,200 small noncommercial literary magazines in the country are CCLM members. Membership is open to any literary magazine. To be eligible for a grant, a magazine must have existed for at least 1 year and have published at least three issues. D. 9 4 14 - -
