The special message transmits 13 rescission proposals, 18 new deferrals, and one revised deferral. The President estimates that the impoundments will reduce fiscal year 1976 outlays by $63.2 million. Enclosure I summarizes, by agency, the total budget authority and FY 1976 outlay reductions involved in the message. 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 infor- mation revising earlier messages necessitates changes in the original reports submitted by us. Enclosure II contains our comments on each impoundment transmitted by the President's eighth special message. For two of the deferrals included in the eighth message--D76-68, deferral of $7,570,000 of budget authority for the Northeastern Appalachian Region Fruit ' r 'I) / Crop Laboratory, and D76-69, deferral of $6,314,000 of - . budget authority for the Fleming Key Animal Import Center--the Senate has passed impoundment resolutions rejecting the proposed deferrals of the budget authority. We have confirmed that OMB has apportioned the budget 21 authority to the Department of Agriculture and that the Department has made it available for obligation. In the case of another deferral--D76-85, Refugee and Migration Affairs--the deferral message states that the State Department proposes to maintain the $28,492,695 of budget authority in reserve for possible contingencies.
