1COM7TROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                           WASHINGTOND.C. 204


B-209328                                 October 28, 1982



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

     On October 1, 1982, the President's first special
message for fiscal year 1983 was transmitted to the Congress
pursuant to~the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special
message proposes twenty deferrals totalling $598,780,000.
Our report follows:

          FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

D83-1     International Development Assistance
          Food and Nutrition
          Education and Human Resources Development
          Selected Development Activity
          1lX1023
          11X1025
          1 1X1026

          DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

D83-2     Forest Service
          Timber Salvage Sales
          12X5204

     The timber salvage sales fund has been the subject of
deferral proposals in fiscal years 1978-1982. We said in our
report on the President's first special message for fiscal
year 1981 that section 14(h) of the National Forest Manage-
ment Act of 1976, 16 U.S.C. S472a(h), provides that deposits
in the timber salvage sales fund are to remain available
until expended to cover the cost of accomplishing the pur-
poses for which deposited. However, section 14(h) also pro-
vides that sums found to be in excess of the cost of accom-
plishing the statutory purposes shall be transferred to mis-
cellaneous receipts in the United States Treasury. We
commented that some of the funds currently on deposit may be
in excess of what is needed, in view of the fact that defer-
rals have been proposed since 1978 and total budgetary
resources available also have increased.
