 The Honorable Jennings Randolph
 Chairman, Committee on Environment
   and Public Works
 United States Senate

 Dear Mr. Chairman:                                5    -A

      In response to your  e     dated March 19, 1979, and
 discussions with your office,, we have updated informatio,    -7
 contained in our prior reports on the John F. Kennedy Cen-
 ter for the Performing Arts. The updated information in-
 cludes the Center's parking-concession agreement, status of
 revenue bonds held by the Treasury Department, and the results
 of the Center's operations through fiscal year 1978.

 CONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH THE
 PARKING GARAGE CONCESSIONAIRE

      The parking facility at the Kennedy Center which consists
 of 1,408 parking spaces is operated by the Airport ParkinqA/_170/-&
 Coinanv of America-WashingtonInc. Under its parking-conce -
 sion agreement  it advanced the Center3,50j000       r-
 pi fr      rn   s over the 15-yea _  t  e  u  , g5eimer t

 beginnin  in 1972. The company's proposal to provide this
 advance, which the Center required to com e     nsructi
 and to begin operations, was an important factor in its sel-
 ecti'o-n to manage the Kennedy Center'-s parking facili1y.

      The agreement with the garage concessionaire provides
 that ater deductn             est anthe
 principal, pro-i s are to  e split ev-enly between the conces-
 sionaire and the Center.  The agreement also gives the conces-
--i-onaire a 10-year renewa1 option and provides that the Center
can repay the advance prior to the end of the initial 15-year
term. After the advance is repaid--which at the present rate
of repayment will be in 1987--the Center will receive 70 per-
cent of net profits on annual gross receipts up to $1.5 mil-
lion. On annual gross receipts in excess of $1.5 million after
repayment of the advance, the distribution rate is 80 percent
