Dixon Chairman, Subcommittee on the District of Columbia Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter and enclosures respond to your request for a summary of the problems and deficiencies identified in recent audit reports, studies, and court orders pertaining to the District of Columbia's Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Food Stamps, Foster Care, Emergency Assistance, and General Public Assistance programs. You requested that we focus on identified deficiencies in those programs and provide our general opinion on how the deficiencies could affect the accuracy of program budget requests. We identified recent reports, studies, and court orders by interviewing officials in the District's Department of Human Services and Office of the Corporation Counsel, and officials in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. District Department of Human Services officials identified and provided copies of audit reports, correspondence regarding the audit reports, and special program studies. An official of the Office of Corporation Counsel provided court documents related to cases covering these programs, including the complaints; the finding and ruling of the court; and in the case of the foster care program, the court mandated implementation plan. To clarify the purpose of various identified audits on the food stamp program, we discussed those reports with officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service in Washington, D.C., and its' Mid-Atlantic Regional Office in Trenton, New Jersey. A summary of each program's reported problems and the specific materials we reviewed is presented in the enclosures. Overall, deficiencies or the need for additional services were found in each of the five District programs in which you expressed interest. The audit reports we reviewed GAO/GGD-95-13R D.C.
