handle is hein.gao/gaobadbsu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 B-111810 MAR 8 1974 The hknorable Carl o. Perkins Chairman, Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: This is in response to your letter of February 8, 1974, asking our opinion as to the necessity of a draft amendment proposed by the Department of Agriculture (the Department) to the National School Lunch Act (Act), as amended, Pub. L. 79-396, 42 U.S.C. 1751, Iean., approved June 4, 1946. The draft bill would amend section 3 of the Act to provide permanent appropriation authority for the special Assistance Program authorized by section U of the Act which the Department feels was deleted by Pub. L. 93-150, approved November 7, 1973, the most recent amendments to the Act. Section 11 (42 U.S.C. 1759a) was added to the Act by section 6 of Pub. L. 87-823 approved October 15, 1962, to authorize the pro- vision of special financial assistance for the purchase of school lunches for the children of low income families. Subsection (a) of section 11 authorized appropriations of such sums as may be necessary specifically for this program for each succeeding fiscal year. Siace section 11 contained its own appropriation authority, the 1962 amend- ments excluded section 11 from the general appropriation authority in section 3 of the Act, applicable to the other programs of the Act. Another new section - section 13 (42 U.S.C. 1761), which provides a special food service program for children - was added to the Act by section 3 of Pub. L. 90-302 approved May 8, 1968. It too contains separate appropriation authority and so the same exclusion from the general appropriation authority was written into section 3 of the Act for the section 13 program. Section 3(s) of Pub. L. 93-150, revised section 11 of the Act by changing the method for computing the sam to be allocated to the States for the special assiotance program but clearly intended the program itself to continue. The special appropriation authority, cos- taned in the old subsection 11(a) was omitted from revised section 11(a) but the exclusion of section 11 from the general appropriation authority in section 3 was retained.
