C. 2054E (~I / T' I 97881 CDATE: Acril 8, 1980 OF: Appropriation for Agency for International Develop- ment under fiscal year 1980 continuing resolution Under fiscal year 1980 continuing resolution, cur- rent rate for operations of Operating Expenses ac- count of Agency for International Development is $254 million,amount appropriated for account for fiscal year 1979. Amount of money administratively transferred out of account during fiscal year 1979 under authority contained in substantive legislation should not be deducted in calculating current rate. 8 The Assistant Director, Accounting Operations, Bureau of GovernD ment Financial Operations, Department of the Treasury, has Euestied our decision on the amount of money appropriated for the Operating Ex- penses account of the Agency for International Development (AID) by the Joint Resolution making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 1980, and for other purposes, Pub. L. No. 96-123, 93 Stat. 923. The continuing resolution by its terms appropriates sufficient funds to con- tinue activities under this account at a rate for operations not exceed- ing the lower of the current rate or the rate provided by the Foreign Assistance and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1980 (H.R. 4473) as it passed the House of Representatives. Specifically, the Assistant Director asks whether, in calculating the current rate for this account under the resolution, to deduct from the amount appropriated for fiscal year 1979 the $1.5 million which was transferred from the Operating Ex- penses account to the International Disaster Assistance account in Sep- tember 1979. The General Counsel of AID has written to us expressing the agency's view that the current rate is the full $254 million appropriated for the Operating Expenses account for fiscal year 1979, without any deduction ,'for funds administratively transferred during the fiscal year. For the reasons indicated below, we agree with AID that the current rate for the Operating Expenses account, under the 1980 continuing reso- lution, is the total amount of funds appropriated for the account for fiscalyear 1979, or $254 million. Funds administratively transferred from the account during the fiscal year, under authority contained in substantive legislation, should not be deducted in determining the cur- rent rate. S2,?O2 77
