PROGRAM ANALYSIS
   DIVISION                     FEB 2 ~31979


     Mr. Harry A. Gould
     Deputy Commissioner
     Committee on Science
       and Technology
     House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. Gould:

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

          We have attempted to identify all the Federal programs
     and activities that are within your committee's jurisdiction
     using available source docuwents, such as the BLdget 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, o6ligations and
     outlays). The reqjuisite budget data are provided for fiscal
     years 1978 (actual), 1979 (estimate) and 1980 (President's
     budget request).
