OGC-81-5 1 (1981-03-11)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabbql0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I114 COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON o.C. 2054 B-200685 March 11, 1981 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives 114637 On February 13, 1981, the kresident's fifth special message for fi-se yee-r 1981 was transmitted to the Congress pursuant to the Impoundmient Con -rol Act of 1974. The special message con- tained 38 deferral proposals. These proposals are comprised of a conversion of the 33 rescissions proposed by the Carter Admin- istration to deferrals, four new deferrals, and a revision to one previously transmitted deferral. The Carter Administration proposed 33 rescissions (R81-1 through R81-33), involving $1,142.4 million in budget authority, in the President's third special message for fiscal year 1981, dated January 15, 1981. The Reagan Administration proposes in this message to convert those rescission proposals to deferral proposals (D81-42 through D81-70, D81-73, D81-74, D81-77, and D81-78). We find nothing in the Impoundment Control Act which pre- cludes a President from withdrawing pending rescission propo- sals and converting them to deferral proposals. We are advised, and have no reason to question, that the conversion to deferrals is a temporary action for the purpose of allowing the new Admin- istration an opportunity to review and revise the rescission proposals within the context of the new President's overall economic plan. We are further advised that the temporary con- version to deferrals will not be used to attribute to the Presi- dent a new 45-day withholding period if the original proposals, or an amended version of them, are resubmitted at a later date. We agree that the temporary conversion should only toll the run- ning of the 45-day withholding period. Therefore, since 22 days had run before this message was submitted, any resubmitted rescission proposals are expected to be subject to a 23-day with- holding period. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE D81-77 Postal Service Fund 18X1001 One of the 33 conversions concerns a proposal involving the appropriation to the United States Postal Service for the Postal Service Fund.
