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

Subject: 	Federally Chartered Corporation: Financial Statement Audit
Report for the Future Farmers of America for Fiscal Years 2003 and 2002

Dear Mr. Chairman:

As requested, we read the audit report covering the financial statements
of the Future Farmers of America,1 a federally chartered corporation, for
the fiscal years ended August 31, 2003, and 2002. The corporation's
activities include funding scholarships and awards, sponsoring a national
convention, and providing education services.

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.

1 Future Farmers of America is also known as National FFA Organization.

                     GAO-05-505R Future Farmers of America

statements of the
corporation were presented fairly in accordance with United States
generally
accepted accounting principles. 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.

Sincerely yours,

Steven J. Sebastian
Director
Financial Management and Assurance
