All budget authority withheld pursuant to the rescis- sion proposals submitted in the third message has been released by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for obligation. In the third message, the President proposed 73 rescissions of budget authority. The activities for which the funds proposed for rescission were provided are set forth in the enclosed listing which was submitted by the President with his third message. Section 1012(b) of the Act requires that funds proposed for rescission be made available for obligation unless the Congress completes action on rescission bills within the 45-day period of continuous congressional session following the day such proposal is received by the Congress. For the rescission proposals submitted in the third message, the 45-day period ended on March 15, 1987, without the Congress having passed such a bill. In three instances, amounts proposed for rescission in the third message were impermissibly reimpounded and should not have been withheld from obligation. The Administration reim- pounded $6 million pursuant to Rescission Proposal No. R87-2, $2,391,615 pursuant to Rescission Proposal No. R87-27, and at least $6,696,200 pursuant to Rescission Proposal No. R87-40.
