The basis for and compatation of requests from several
agencies for supplemental appropriations to meet the costs of
the October 1976 Federal pay raise were reviewed.
Findings/Conclusions: The supplemental amounts requested by the
Peace Corps, Agency for Internaticnal Development (AID), and the
State Department's Office of Human Rights and Humanitarian
Affairs were reasonable. AID's request was ccnservative due to
rounding and to mathematical errors. The Expcrt-Import Bank
determined that the actual number of employees onhard was less
than the budgeted number, and it needed only a $225,000
supplement instedd of the S450,000 originally requested. This
revised request was considered reasonable. Satisfactory
documentation was available to support Peace Corps, State
Department, and Export-Itport Bank requests. AID was unable to
provide source documents to support six percent of the amount
included in its submission. AID's request for an additional
$4,570,000 to meet increased costs of the Foreign Service and
Disability Retirement Funds was computed by an official of the
State Department in conjunction with an actuary of the Treasury
Department. According to the actuary, AID's request was
reasonable and conservative. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaavoj0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
