The special message pro- posed a new rescission of $173.0 million, 10 new deferrals total- ling $495.1 million, and revisions to four previously reported deferrals totalling $76.4 million, as follows: DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY R81-166 Energy Programs Fossil Energy Construction 116209 89X0214 The justification section of the special message states that the proposal to rescind $173 million includes $100 million previously deferred by deferral D81-33B. While the $173 million figure for the proposed rescission is accurate, the source of these funds as identified in the special message is incorrect. As explained in detail below, the amount actually deferred by D81-33B as of the date of the special message was only $73 mil- lion.

On April 27, 1981, the President reported D81-33B which originally deferred $100 million from the Fossil Energy Con- truction account, and provided that the funds deferred were those targeted for the SRC II coal liquefaction project. The Supplemental Appropriations and Rescission Act provided that of the funds in the Construction account, $89.4 million were rescinded and $235 million would not become available for obli- gation until October 1, 1981. The Conference Report, H.R. Rep. No. 97-124 (1981), stated on page 62 that of the $235 million deferred by Congress, $100 million had been for SRC II, and that this was in addition to the amount deferred in D81-33B. On June 16, 1981, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released $27 million of the $100 million deferred in D81- 33B, leaving a $73 million deferral.
