Dear Mr. Daidson:

     Subject:   ogram and Budgetary Information for
              Committees' Views and Estimates on President's
              Budget for Fiscal Year 198 (PAD-80-51)

     The enclosed report is forwarded for your information
and use in preparation of your committee's views and esti-
mates on the President's fiscal year 1931 budget proposals
for the House Budget Committee. The General Accounting
Office has obtainei tnis data trom the executive agencies
and prepared it in this form for your use as part of its
responsibility under Title VIII of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974. Specifically, the Comptroller General is
required to: (1) develop and maintain standard classifica-
tions for fiscal, budgetary and program-related information
and (2) assist committees in developing their information
needs.

     Accordingly, we have attempted to identify all the
 Federal programs and activities that are within your com-
 mittee's legislative jurisdiction using available source
 documents such as the Budget Appendix, agency budget
 justifications, and legislation and legislative histories.
 To a large extent this information has been verified by
 committee representatives and executive agency officials.
 We want to emphasize that the list of progra-s and acti-
 vities in the enclosed document is an effort to display
 budgetary information at a level of detail most useful
 for cQmmittee review and mark-up. The listing is not a
 program inventory in its current form although it will be
 the basis for development of a Federal government-wide
 program inventory. The budgetary data included in the
 report was obtained directly from the agencies. Veri-
 fication by us include3 comparison with data Obtained
 from the Office of Management and Budget's Budget In-
 formation System anJ the Appendix to the President's 1981
 Budget.
