United States Senate
Dear Mr. Sarbis:
The enc.osed computer printout is forwarded for your
information and use in preparation of your committee's
views and estimates to the Senate B3udget Committee. on the
fiscal year 1980 budget. The General Accounting Office
has prepared this information as part of our efforts to
respond to the requirements in Title VIIT of the Congres-
sional Budget Act of 1974 that the Comptroller General (1)
develop and maintain standard classifications for fiscal,
budgetary and program-related information and (2) assist
committees in developing their information eeds.
We have attempted to identify all the Federal programs
and activities that are within your comittee's jurisdiction
using available source documents, such as the Budget Appendix
and agency budget justifications, and in consultation with
cognizant congressional and executive agency officials. WKe
want to emphasize that the list of programs/activities in the
enclosed document is an effort to capture the existing inven-
tory of programs; it is not a standard classification of
program and budget data. Also, the budget data 'was obtained
direct) v from the agencies, and except for certain test. checks
that we performed, wQ relied on their input as to the accuracy
and validity of the data.
For each program or acti'ity identified, we have dis-
played the program authorizing and funding legislation (pub-
lic law and U.S. Code citation) and the relevant budgetary
information (authorization, budget authority, obligations
and out:]ays) . The requi site budget data arc- p-o' ided for
fiscal years 1978 (actual), 1979 (estimate) and 1,980 (Pres-
ident's budget request). Enclosure 1 provides a further
discussion of this listing.
