              B-279886

              April 28, 1998



              The Honorable Peter Hoekstra
              Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight
                 and Investigations
              Committee on Education and the Workforce
              House of Representatives

              Dear Mr. Chairman:

              By letter dated April 22, 1998, you raised a number of issues concerning the
              availability of federal funds to pay the expenses of supervising a rerun of the
              1996 International Brotherhood of Teamsters election. You asked for our
              response by April 28, 1998. Although we would typically solicit the views of
              interested departments and agencies in preparing our response, because of the
              short time frame requested, we did not obtain the views of the Departments of
              Justice, Treasury, or Labor.

              Your questions relate generally to the availability of funds appropriated in the
              Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related
              Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997, Pub. L. No. 104-208, Division A, title I,
              110 Stat. 3009 (1996) (1997 Justice Appropriations Act), the Departments of
              Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies
              Appropriations Act, 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-119, 111 Stat. 2440 (1997) (1998
              Justice Appropriations Act) and the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
              Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998, Pub. L.
              No. 105-78, 111 Stat. 1467 (1997) (1998 Labor Appropriations Act), and the
              permanent, indefinite appropriation commonly referred to as the Judgment
              Fund, 31 U.S.C. § 1304. For ease of discussion we have grouped our analysis of
              the issues under one of three headings: the 1997 Justice Appropriations Act, the
              1998 Justice and Labor Appropriations Acts, and the Judgment Fund. Your
              questions and our answers are set out below.
