                         August 28, 1979




To the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives

     On July 24, 1979, thel&resident's tenth special message
for fiscal year 19797was transmitted to the Congress pursuant
to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special message
proposed the deferral (D79-58) of $6.2 million in budget
authority made available to the Fedetal Prison System of the
Department of Justice. A 0637

     The special message states that these funds are proposed
for deferral until a final executive branch decision is made
regarding the need for constructing a Metropolitan Correctional
Center in Detroit, Michigan. We have confirmed that the
amount of funds deferred represents the estimated obligation
for the Detroit pro3ect for this fiscal year minus some $300,000
which the General Services Administration has already spent
on the purchase of the land for the facility.

     Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances
surrounding the proposed impoundment, we conclude that the
information in the special message has been clearly and
accurately stated.
