Section 1015(a) of the Imooundment Control Act recquires the Comptroller General to report to the Congress whenever he finds that the President, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head of any department or agency of the United States, or any other officer or emoloyee of the United States has ordered, permitted, or a oroved the establishment of a reserve or deferral of budget authority and the President has failed to transmit a soecial message with respect to such reserve or deferral. This report is submitted in accordance with the requirement imposed by section 1015(a) and, consequently, has the same effect as if it were a deferral message transmitted by the President. In the 'eoartment of Defense ApDrooriation Act,.b-79-7 Pub1i c Law 9t- 45 7, -a6prov ed --O--c tober -13-, 197-8,- -Co nqri -e~o-b0 7 priated to the Department of the Navy $4.5 billion for research, development, test, and evaluation activities (RDT&E). See 92 Stat. 1231 at 1241-2. In determining the amount to be provided for Navy RDT&E program components, consideration was given to funding the AV-8B Advanced Harrier Aircraft Program, a Marine Corps V/STOL fighter. Ultimately, of the $4.5 billion appropriated, $123 million was earmarked for the initiation of engineering development for this aircraft. See, for example, H. Rep. 95-1398, 95th Cong. 2d Sess. 338 (1978) ($122.964 million for AV-8B); and S. Reo. 95-1264, 95th Cong. 2d Sess. 8, 180 (1973) ($122.964 million for AV-8B). In reviewing certain program and budget documents regarding the Navy's fiscal year 1979 plans for use of the current RDT&E appropriation, we have determined that $107.964 million of the $123 million intended for use for the AV-SB are not currently available for use. 111 I UI IOGC-79-8 108836
