MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE
INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE RELATIVE TO THE
SERVICING OFHOME LOAN RECEIVABLES
The management of the Bank is responsible for establishing and
maintaining the internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures.
The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide
management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets
are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and
that transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Bank's
internal control structure based on the criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO")
relative to the servicing of home loan receivables owned by Chevy
Chase Home Loan Trust 1996-1 (the "Trust") as of September 30,
1997, and we have determined that the Bank maintained an effective
internal control structure over financial reporting relative to the
servicing of home loan receivables owned by the Trust as of
September 30, 1997.
However, there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any
internal control structure, including the possibility of human error and
the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an
effective internal control structure can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to reliability of financial statements and
safeguarding and management of assets. Furthermore, the
effectiveness of any internal control structure can change with changes
in circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.:
We have examined management's assertion, included in the
accompanying Management's Report on the Effectiveness
of the Internal Control Structure Relative to the Servicing of
Home Loan Receivables, that Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B.(the
"Bank") maintained an effective internal control structure over
financial reporting relative to the servicing of home loan
receivables owned by Chevy Chase Home Loan Trust
Series 1996-1 (the "Trust") as of September 30, 1997.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and, accordingly, included obtaining an
understanding of the internal control structure over financial
reporting, testing, and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of the internal control structure, and
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal
control structure over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the internal control structure
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Bank
maintained an effective internal control structure over
financial reporting relative to the servicing of home loan
receivables owned by the Bank's home loan Trust as of
September 30, 1997, is fairly stated, in all material respects,
based upon criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
the board of directors and management of the Bank,
Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., and Capital Markets
Assurance Corporation, and should not be used for any other
purpose.
