handle is hein.gao/gaobachia0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 Sof GENERA- COUNSEL B-209758 January 17, 1983 The Honorable Roger W. Jepsen united States Senate Dear Senator Jepsen: This is in response to your telephone inquiry of January 13, 1983, about the roper disposition of funds recovered in the case of United States v. I L .As you kncw, this case arises from the embezzlement of funds from the Federal Election Comission. By letter of today, copy enclosed, we have informed the Justice Department attorney handling this case that recoveries are for deposit to the relevant fis- cal year 1982 Camrission appropriation account and may be used to liquidate obli- gations properly incurred before the embezzlement was discovered. In this connection, the Comnission has informed us that its only outstanding unliquidated obligation is for approximately $43,000 owed to the District of Columbia unemploy- ment fund. Our position, which we understand is also held by the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of the Treasury, is based on the definition of refund set out in Title 7 of the GAO Policies and Procedures Manual for the Guidance of Federal Aencies. That definition provides for refunds of erroneous disbursements to appropriation accounts. If you or your staff wish to discuss this matter further, please call me at 275-5207. Sincerely yours, Harry R. Van Cleve Acting General Counsel Enclosure
