                       COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
                                WASHINGTON D.C. 2054



B-209328                                   August 2, 1983



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

     On July 7, 1983, the President's ninth special message
for fiscal year 1983 was transmitted to Congress pursuant to
the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The special message pro-
poses one new rescission totalling $15 million and four new
deferrals of budget authority totalling $34,795,142.

     This message was submitted after the Supreme Court handed
down its decision, in Immigration and Naturalization Service
v. Chadha (No. 80-1832, June 23, 1983), that a one-house
legislative veto provision in the Immigration and Nationality
Act was unconstitutional. Exactly what effect the decision
has on the legislative veto mechanism in the Impoundment Con-
trol Act and on the remainder of the Act remains uncertain.
The President's submission of this message pursuant to the Act
indicates that the Administration intends to treat at least
the reporting requirements of the Act as still viable. We
will continue to carry out our responsibility to review each
message and report to the Congress as required by section
1014(b) of the Act.

          DEPARTMENT OF STATE

R83-21    Bureau for Refugee Programs
          Migration and Refugee Assistance
          Amount proposed for rescission: $15,000,000
          1931143

     The funds are reportedly not needed because of lower than
expected refugee flows. Based on the current legislative
calendar, the 45-day period of continuous session during which
the funds proposed for rescission may be withheld pending con-
gressional consideration of a rescission bill will end on
October 5, 1983. (The funds expire for obligation purposes on
September 30, 1983.)
