       R76-9/9A Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW)
                Elementary and Secondary Education Program

           In his seventh (November 18, 1975) special message for
      Fiscal Year 1976, the President proposed the -escission of
      $220,403,852 in Fiscal Year 1976, 1977, and Transition
      Quarter budget authority available fur the Elementary and
      Secondary Education Program. This proposal was amended by
      the President on January 23, 1976, (special message R76-9A)
      which reduced rhe total amount proposed for rescission by
      $10 million. The Congress did not act favorably on this
      rescission proposal and the budget authority was required
      to be made available for obligation on February 20, 1976.

           On March 22, 1976, we reported to the Congress that a
      portion of the funds (Fiscal Year 1976) sought for rescis-
      sion had been released. We have confirmed that the remainder
      of the budget authority (Fiscal Year 1977) has been made a-
      vailable for obligation in accordance with law.

      R76-26 Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

              Housino Finance and Development Agencies

           Budget authority amounting up to $600 million for this
      program was proposed for rescission in the President's eighth
      special message for Fiscal Year 1976 on November 29, 1975.
      Specifically, contract authority of $15 million in annual
      Federal assistance payments for a period of 40 years was
      :-ught for cescission. Regarding Fiscal Year 1976, the $15
      million provided in the HUD appropriation (Pub. L. 94-116)
