handle is hein.gao/gaobaabop0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 January 29, 1976 B-115398 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIII11ffIIIIIIII LM099964 Speaker of the House C T President of the Senate We were furnished copies of deferrals and proposed rescissions which the President submitted to the Congress on January 6, in his ninth special message for fiscal year 1976 pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special message transmits one rescission proposal, nine new deferrals, and eleven revised defer- rals. The President estimates that the impoundments will reduce fiscal year 1976 outlays by $32.1 million-- the Department of Housing and Urban Development by $18.4 million and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare by $13.7 million. The Impoundment Control Act requires us to review each message and report promptly to the House and Senate as to the facts surrounding each action, including the probable effect thereof and, in the case of deferrals, to render a judgment as to whether the action is in accordance with existing legal authority. We are also required to notify the Congress if supplementary in- formation revising earlier messages necessitates changes in the original reports submitted by us. Our comments on each impoundment transmitted by the President's ninth special message are enclosed. The President's message contains several adminis- trative errors which adversely affect our ability to report to the Congress in an expeditious and complete manner. While some of these errors could be dismissed as clerical and of minor importance, others were sub- stantial in nature. We found that three of the new deferrals (076-86, D76-91, and D76-93) reported the deferral of budget authority which was the subject of prior deferral messages that are still outstanding-- have not been rejected by either House of the Congress.
