OGC-87-4 1 (1987-04-06)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabojj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: / 2C53 Comptroller General of the United States Wahington, D.C. 20548 B-224882 April 6, 1987 132653 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives On January 5, 1987, the President's third special message for fiscal year 1987 was submitted to the Congress pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (the Act). The third message includes 73 rescission proposals, three new defer- rals, and three revised deferrals. We have reviewed these impoundments. Enclosure I provides information relevant to these impoundments. We found that, in three instances, amounts proposed for rescission were impermissibly reimpounded and should not have been withheld from obligation. (See discussion in Enclosure I of Rescission Proposals-Nos. R87-2, R87-27 and R87-40.) The 45-day period of continuous session during which the funds may be withheld pending congressional con- sideration of a rescission bill ended March 15, 1987, without the Conqress having enacted any rescission bills pertinent to these impoundments. We have confirmed that on March 16, 1987, all funds proposed for rescission, including the amounts impermissibly withheld, were made available by the Office of Management and Budget for obligation by the agencies to which they were appropriated. In a number of the rescission proposals, we found a differ- ence between the amount of total budgetary resources reported in the message for an account and the correspondLng amount on the latest apportionment schedule. In three of those cases, as noted in Enclosure I (Rescission Proposals Nos. R87-1, R87-17, R87-53), a subsequent revision to the proposal, in the President's fourth special message, January 28, 1987, gives the correct amount, corresponding to the apportionment schedule. Enclosure II lists, for each instance where a correction has not been reported, the correct figure from the latest apportionment schedule. The differences in the total budgetary resources amounts generally result from recomputations, based on more recent or G&O/OGC-87-4 c38S 1
