As requested by your offices, we are providing the details
of the Navy plans to use Public Law 102-298 funds and our
evaluation of that planned use. This issue was discussed
in our August 20, 1992, and September 10, 1992, briefings
to your staffs on the Navy's plans and liabilities to
terminate Seawolf class nuclear-powered submarine (SSN-21)
program contracts. A briefing report will also be issued.

BACKGROUND

Public Law 102-298: An Act Rescinding Certain Budget
Authority, Fiscal Year 1992 (June 4, 1992), implicitly
rejected the Administration's proposal to rescind funds
appropriated for the SSN-22 through SSN-26. Specifically,
the law rescinded $1,150 million appropriated for the SSN-
23 and effectively restored $1,615.? million. According to
the accompanying conference report, the restoration
provided $1,075.7 million to construct the SSN-22 and
$540.2 million to preserve the submarine industrial  base.
The conference report also directed the Secretary of the
Navy to use the $540.2 million for (1) SSN-23 advance
procurement, -(2) restart of the Los Angeles class nuclear-
powered submarine (SSN-688) program, or (3) any other
