            The Honorable Thomas M. Davis TLU
            Chairman, Subcommittee on the
               District of Columbia
            Committee on Government Reform
               and Oversight
            House of Representatives

            Dear Mr. Chairman:

            This letter responds to your request for a status report on the proposed new
            Convention Center Project in the District of Columbia. Specifically, you requested
            an update on (1) the predevelopment and capital project costs, (2) the financing
            of the project, (3) the revenues generated from various dedicated taxes, and
            (4) the project's timetable for completion.

            PREDEVELOPMENT AND
            CAPITAL PROJECT COSTS

            The District's efforts to design and build a new convention center are still in the
            early stages. According to the Deputy General Manager of the Washington
            Convention Center Authority (WCCA), the costs (predevelopment and capital)
            associated with the project are all prelininary estimates, which are not reliable
            and are subject to change once a program management firm is selected and a
            project manager is hired to oversee the entire project. In addition, the design and
            size of the project are expected to change.

            Since our last testimony,' there have been some changes to WCCA's estimated
            predevelopment costs for the Convention Center Project. We testified that



            'District of Columbia: Status of Sorts Arena and Convention Center Project (GAOfT-
            AIMD-95-221, August 9, 1995).
