IN REPLY
z R TO: B-196797
March 20, 1980
To the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
On February 20, 1980, the Lpresident's fifth special message]
for fiscal year 1980 was transmitted to the Congress pursuant -4
to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special messaoe
proposes a revision to a previously transmitted rescission pro-
posal decreasing the amount rescinded by $6.4 million. The
special message also proposes two new deferrals of budget
authority totalling $20.0 million and revisions to two previously
transmitted deferrals increasing the amount deferred by $13.9
million.
Our comments on the information submitted in the special
message of February 20, 1980, are as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE
R80-2A Health Resources Administration A4u f4
Health Resources
7500712, 756/00712, 75X0712
The 45-day period of continuous session during which funds
proposed for rescission in R80-2A may be withheld pending con-
gressional consideration of a rescission bill ends March 18,
1980. As we stated in our comments on R80-2, which was proposed
in the President's fourth special message dated January 28, 1980,
the information and justification supporting R80-2A was already
before the Congress in R80-2 and R80-2A merely reduces the
amount involved. Therefore, a new 45-day period did not com-
mence upon submission of R80-2A.
