    Dear Mr. Nelson:                                          111815

         Subject: Program and Budgetary Information for
                  Committees' Views and Estimates on President's
                  Budget for Fiscal Year 1981 (PAD-80-66)

         The enclosed report is forwardedfor your information
    and use in preparation of your committee's views and esti-
    mates on the President's fiscal year 1981 budget proposals
    for the House Budget Committee. The General Accounting
    Office has obtained this data from 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.

         Accrdingly, 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 programs and acti-
    vities in the enclosed document is an effort to display
    budgetary information at a level of detail most useful
    for committee review and mark-up. The listing is not a
    progratu 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 included comparison with data obtained
    from the Office of Management and Budget's Budget In-
    formation System and the Appendix to the President's 1981
    Budget.
                                      I               (972888)
