All the budget authority withheld under the rescission proposals submitted in the fifth special message has been released by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for obligation.l/ The rescission proposals are set forth in the enclosed listing submitted by the President with his fifth special 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 fifth special message, the 45 day period ended on September 28, 1991, without the Congress having passed such a bill. We have confirmed that as of September 28, 1991, all funds proposed for rescission were available for obligation. See footnote 1, infra. Comptroller General of the United States Enclosure 1/ As we explained in a previous report to the Congress, nonwithstanding the formal rescission proposals, funds in both accounts proposed for rescission were never withheld from obligation. GAO/OGC-91-11, Aug. 20, 1991; see also, OMB Cumulative Report, September 10 1991. / GAO/OGC-92-1
