         The Honorable John D. Dingell
         Chairman, Committee on Energy
           and Commerce                                       116679
         House of Representatives

         Dear Mr. Chairman:

              Subject: Program and Budgetary Information for Committee's
                        Use and Action on the Fiscal Year 1982 Budget
                        (PAD-81-84)

             The enclosed report contains program-by-program data per the March budget
        revisions. It is forwarded for your information and use in acting on the
        President's fiscal year 1982 budget proposals. The General Accounting Office
        has obtained this data from 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 classifications 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 committee's legislative juris-
        diction. Additionally, for those programs and activities identified, we
        have grouped them by subcommittee of jurisdiction.

              In the preparation of this program-by-program budgetary report we used
        several available source documents such as the Budget Appendix, agency budget
        justifications, and authorizing legislation and legislative histories. To a
        large extent, this information has been verified by your committee representa-
        tives and executive agency officials. We want to emphasize that the list of
        programs and activities in the enclosed document is an effort to display
        budgetary information at a level of detail most useful for your committee
        review and markup. The budgetary data included in the report was obtained
        directly from the agencies. Verification by us included comparison with
        account level data obtained from the Office of Management and Budget's Budget
        Information System.                        /

             For each program or activity identified, we have displayed the authorizing
        legislation (public law and U.S. Code citation); the budgetary information
        (funding authorization, budget authority, obligations and outlays); and the
        funding expiration date as specified in the legislation. Actual budget data
        is provided for fiscal year 1980. Budget data for fiscal years 1981 (estimate)
        and 1982 (President's budget request) is provided for both the Carter and
        Reagan budgets. Enclosure I provides a further discussion of this listing.
