   Mr. Charles Conklin
   Staff Director
   Committee on Interior and
      Insular Affairs
    House of Representatives

    Dear Mr. Conklin:

         The enclosed computer printout is forwarded for your
    information and use in preparation of your committee's
    views and estimates report to the House Budget 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 VIII of the Congres-
    sional Budget Act of 1974 that the Comptroller General (1)
    develop and maintan standard classifications for fiscal,
    budgetary and program-related information and (2) assist
    committees in developing their intormation needs.

         We have attempted to identify all the Federal programs
    and activities that are within your committee's jurisdiction
    using available source documents, such as the Budget Appen-
    dix and agency budget justifications, and in consultation
    with cognizant congressional and executive, agency officials.
    We want to emphasize that the list of programs/activities in
    the enclosed document is an effort to capture the existing
    inventory of programs; it is not a standard classification
    of program and budget data. Also, the budget data was ob-
    tained directly from the agencies, and except for certain
    test checks that we performed, we relied on their input as
    to the accuracy and validity of the data.

          For each program or activity 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
     outlays).  The requisite budget data are provided for fiscal
     ye-ars 1978 (actual), 1979 (estimate) and 1980 (President's
     budget request).  Enclosure 1 provides a further discussion
     of this listing.
