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

     On March 4, 1980, the Lresident's sixth special message
for fiscal year 1980Jwas transmitted to the Congress pursuant
to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special message
proposed a rescission (R80-4) involving funds appropriated
to the Department of Energy for plant and capital equipment
for atomic energy defense activities. Specifically, the
rescission proposes to rescind $17.0 million earmarked for
construction of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in
southeastern New Mexico.

     Based on the current legislative calendar, the 45-day
period of continuous session during which funds proposed
for rescission in R80-4 may be withheld pending congres-
sional consideration of a rescission bill ends on April 29,
1980. Under section 1012(b) of the Impoundment Control Act,
the funds covered by R80-4 must be made available for obli-
gation if a rescission bill is not passed by the Congress
before the expiration of the 45-day period.
