handle is hein.gao/gaobacjge0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United Statet4 GAO) General Accounting Offle National Security and International Affair. Division B-58897 September 15, 1995 Congressional Committees We examined the Department of Defense's fiscal year 1996 budget request and prior years' appropriations for selected research, development, test, and evaluation and procurement programs. Our objectives were to identify potential reductions in the fiscal year 1996 budget request and potential rescissions to prior years' appropriations. This report suzmarizes information and briefings provided to your staffs from April through July 1995. Due to schedule delays, changes in program requirements, and issues that emerged since the budget request was developed, we identified opportunities to reduce the funding levels for fiscal year 1996 by about $956.4 million and rescind about $265.2 million from prior years' appropriations. We also identified about $934.2 million the Congress can restrict from obligation until specified criteria are met to minimize risks in acquisition programs. In addition, we identified about about $97.8 million in obligational authority expiring on September 30, 1995. Of the totals, we identified potential budget reductions of about $102.6 million to the fiscal year 1996 research, development, test, and evaluation budget request and potential rescissions of about $14.8 million to prior years' appropriations (see table 1). Also, we identified about $27.4 million in obligational authority that can be restricted. (See app. I for more details about the individual programs.)
