Mahon Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: The report of the House Committee on Appropriations on the 1975 Supplemental Appropriations Bill states that all expenses harged to the appropriation proposed under that bill for Expenses, Presidential Transition, will be subject to review by the General Accounting Office and that a detailed accounting of all obligations will be reported to the Committees on Appropriations. We have audited the expenditures and obligations charged to this appropriation and beginning on page 3 have summarized the results of our audit- Background The Presidential Transition Act of 1963 authorizes the Administrator of General Services to provide each former President--for a period not to exceed 6 months from the expiration of his term of office--the necessary services and facilities of the same general character as authorized for a President-elect. The necessary services and facilities described in the act to be provided a President-elect are for such items as office space suitably equipped, an office staff, consultants, travel expenses, communications, printing and binding, and postage. The act also provides that any Govern- ment employee may be detailed during the 6-month period to the former President on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis with the consent of the head of the agency. There is no limitation in the act as to their number or the costs that may be incurred for detailed employees. The Transition Act also provides that the provisions of the Former Presidents Act of 1958, except for the payment of a monetary allowance which begins as soon as he leaves office, shall not become effective with respect to a former President until 6 months after the expiration of his term of office as President. See page 10 for a discussion of the Former Presidents Act. 1 /0 9.?
