            September 1, 1995

            The Honorable John E. Porter
            Chairman, Subcommittee on Labor,
               Health and Human Services, and Education
             Committee on Appropriations
             House of Representatives

             Dear Mr. Chairman:

             This letter responds to your request for information on
             potential opportunities for consolidating programs in the
             Children and Families Services Programs (CFSP) budget
             account, administered by the Administration for Children
             and Families (ACF) in the Department of Health and Human
             Services (HHS) . The CFSP account contained 29 grant
             programs in fiscal year 1994 aimed primarily at enhancing
             the well-being of the nation's disadvantaged or troubled
             children and families, with a total spending level of about
             $4.7 billion.

             More specifically, this letter contains information on (1)
             the CFSP budget account's programs and congressional and
             administration actions and other opportunities to
             consolidate the CFSP account's programs. As you requested,
             our identification of other consolidation opportunities did
             not include consideration of the account's largest program,
             Head Start, which spent about $3.3 billion in fiscal year
             1994.

             To perform our work, we reviewed legislative and executive
             branch documents, interviewed ACF officials familiar with
             the CFSP account's programs, and undertook our own analysis
             of the programs with a view toward gaining an understanding
             of the commonalities and differences among the programs.
             We obtained much of the descriptive information from the
             Cataloa of Federal Domestic Assistance for 1994 and the
             Budaet of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1996:
             ADendix. Our work was performed from March through July
             of 1995 in accordance with-generally accepted government
             auditing standards.
