Smith House of Representatives Subject: Reproductive Health: Federal Funds Provided to Four Nonprofit Organizations This letter responds to your request that we identify (1) the amount of federal funding that supported four nonprofit organizations-the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Population Council-or their activities in fiscal years 1997, 1998, and 1999; (2) the federal agencies that received and disbursed the funds; and (3) the congressional committees with jurisdiction to authorize or appropriate the funds. This information updates our 1998 correspondence, entitled Family Planning: Federal Funds Provided to Planned Parenthood Organizations, which provided funding information for fiscal years 1994 through 1996.' In summary, we found that the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, the International Planned Parenthood Federation and its associations, and the Population Council received approximately $170 million of federal funds in fiscal year 1997 and $178 million in fiscal year 1998. Complete data for fiscal year 1999 are not available. (See table 1.) The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Agency for International Development (AID) were the major sources of these funds. Four committees in the Senate and three committees in the House of Representatives have jurisdiction over the authorization of the programs under which the funding was provided. The Committee on Appropriations in the Senate and in the House each have three subcommittees that have jurisdiction over the appropriations of these funds.2 1GAO/HEHS-98-171R, May 22, 1998. 2The authorizing committees in the Senate are Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Finance; Foreign Relations; and Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. In the House, they are Commerce, International Relations, and Ways and Means. Funds are appropriated by the Committee on Appropriations in the Senate and in the House through their subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary; and Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and related programs.
