Speaker of the House
President of the Senate

     The purpose of this letter is to report on thejjtatus
of impounded budget authorityJincluding (1) proposed rescis-
sions transmitted by the President's second special message
of July 25 (proposed rescissions R76-4 through R76-8), (2)
an unreported rescission which GAO reported to the Congress
on June 19 (College Housing) and (3) The Department of Housing
and Urban Development's Section 235 housing program, which
was the subject of a GAO impoundment law suit.

     The Congress did not concur with proposed rescissions
R76-4, R76-5, R76-7, and R76-8, and the prescribed 45-day
period expired on October 22. Therefore, the budget authority
is required to be made available for obligation. We have con-
firmied the following:

     R76-4 $25,723,000 in budget authority for the
     Forest Service's roads and trails program. OMB
     has apportioned the budget authority and the Forest
     Service has made it available for obligation.

     R76-5 $7 million in budget authority for the HEW
     Headstart cervices to handicapped children. This
     budget authority was made available through P.L.
     94-32 (the FY 75 Second Supplemental Appropriation)
     and was apportioned by OMB. The funds were to
     lapse on October 31, only a few days after the end
     of the prescribed 45-day period. However, HEW was
     able to obligate the whole $7 million before
     that time.

     R76-7 $2.5 million in budget authority for the
     Community Services Administration's basic skills
     learning centers demonstration programs. R76-8
     $7.5 million in budget authority for the Community
     Services Administration's community development
