     Mr. Michael Stern
     Staff Director
     LCommittee on Fin   '


     Dar Mr. Stern:

          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
     respDond to the requirements in Title VIII of the Congres-
     sional Budget Act of 1974 that the Comptroller General (1)
     develop and maintain standard classificat ons 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 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 classiticatlon
     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-
     pla.yed 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
     years 1978 (actual), 1979 (estimate) and 1980 (President's
     budget request).
