handle is hein.gao/gaobacjyq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Accounting and Financial Management Division B-247428 January 30, 1992 The Honorable Newt Gingrich Republican Whip House of Representatives Dear Mr. Gingrich: In response to your November 19, 1991, letter, we are providing information regarding the contingent fund of the House of Representatives. Specifically, you asked us to respond to four questions concerning funding for H. Res. 258. We discussed the contingent fund in a meeting with your office on January 9, 1992. BACKGROUND The contingent fund is not a discrete fund established by law. Instead, the House has applied the term to appropriations for certain expenses and certain revolving funds established to support House operations. These appropriations include appropriations for -- Contingent Expenses of the House (Standing Committees, Special and Select), -- Contingent Expenses of the House (House Information Systems), and -- Contingent Expenses of the House (Allowances and Expenses). When expenses arise for activities that are not otherwise specifically provided for by appropriation or fund account, the practice has been for the House to pass a resolution authorizing the payment of expenses from the appropriations for contingent expenses. The Committee on House Administration, which has jurisdiction over appropriations for contingent expenses, approves vouchers for the payment of contingent expenses.
