Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives
Subject: Federally Chartered Corporation: Review of the Financial
Statement Audit Reports for the Congressional Medal of Honor Society of
the United States of America for 2000- 2002 Dear Mr. Chairman:
As requested, we reviewed the audit reports covering the financial
statements of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society of the United
States of America, a federally chartered corporation, for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000. The society*s purposes are to preserve
the dignity and honor of the Medal, protect its recipients from
exploitation, foster patriotism, and inspire youth to worthy citizenship.
Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U. S. C. 10101 to
present the corporation*s assets and liabilities and reasonable detail on
the corporation*s income and expenses in annual financial statements, and
obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant. The
objective of our review was to determine whether the audit reports
complied with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In carrying
out our work, we reviewed the corporation*s financial statements and the
accompanying notes, performed certain analytical procedures related to
information presented in the financial statements, and reviewed the
auditors* reports. However, we did not review the auditors* working
papers, and we are not rendering an audit opinion. Our review disclosed no
reportable instances of noncompliance with the financial reporting
requirements of the law.

the financial statements of the
corporation were presented fairly in accordance with U. S. generally
accepted accounting principles. We are returning the audit reports you
sent with your letter.
Sincerely yours, Jeanette M. Franzel Director Financial Management and
Assurance
