The Honorable F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
House of Representatives

Subject: 	Federally Chartered Corporation: Financial Statement Audit
Report for the National Federation of Music Clubs for Fiscal Year 2003

Dear Mr. Chairman:

As requested, we read the audit report covering the financial statements
of the National Federation of Music Clubs, a federally chartered
corporation, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The corporation was
established to encourage American musical activities.

Federally chartered corporations are required under 36 U.S.C. S:10101 to

o  	present the corporation's assets and liabilities and reasonable detail
on the corporation's income and expenses in annual financial statements
and

o  obtain an annual financial audit by an independent public accountant.

Our objective was to advise you of any matters in the report regarding
compliance with the financial reporting requirements of the law. In
carrying out our work, we read the corporation's financial statements and
the accompanying notes, performed certain analytical procedures related to
information presented in the financial statements, and read the auditor's
report. We did not identify any instance of noncompliance with the above
financial reporting requirements of the law.

We did not perform an audit or review the auditor's working papers, and we
are not rendering an audit opinion.

                GAO-05-1034R National Federation of Music Clubs

The audit report included the auditor's opinion that the financial
statements of the corporation were presented fairly on a modified cash
basis of accounting. We are returning the audit report you sent with your
letter.

This letter is intended solely for your use and the use of the Committee
on the Judiciary. This letter will be available at no charge on GAO's Web
site at http://www.gao.gov.
