handle is hein.gao/gaobabmwz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON D.C. 20648 March 23, 1983 B-209328 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives On February 1, 1983, the President's fifth special message for fiscal year 1983 was transmitted to the Congress pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special message proposes 19 rescissions of budget authority totalling $1,552.0 million, 30 deferrals of budget authority totalling $6,795.9 million and revisions to nine previously reported deferrals increasing the amount deferred by $3,155.7 million. Our report follows. In our report to Congress dated March 10, 1982, we explained in detail our interpretation of section 1001(4) of the Impoundment Control Act (now classified to 2 U.S.C. S 681), the so-called fourth disclaimer, which provides that the Act does not supersede any other provision of law requir- ing the obligation or expenditure of budget authority. Briefly stated, under our analysis of section 1001(4), the Impoundment Control Act does not supersede the requirements for obligation of mandatory spending programs. To determine whether a program falls within the fourth disclaimer requires examination of the statutory scheme for evidence of a con- gressional mandate to spend the budget authority made avail- able for the particular program. In the following report, we identify the rescission proposals which involve mandatory spending.
