                 DIGEST - NO CIRCULATIO 2
  UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

  Memorandum                               OCT 2 1974


  TO        General Counsel                                4.



  FROM  :  Director, FGMS Division - 4D.. Scantlebury                         4+



  SUBJECT: Request for an Opinion on the Legality of Crediting
           Reimbursements to the Appropriation Year Collected
           and on Other Matters Related to Congressman Mahon's
           Request of May 31, 1974 (B-179708)


      Reference is made to Mr. Kensky's letter of July 23, 1974,
 which transmitted a request from the Chairman of the House Appro-
 priations Committee asking that you rule on the legality of applying
 collected reimbursements to the current appropriation:.

      On August 19, 1974, members of my staff met with Mr. Henry Wray
 of your office to discuss this request in more detail. In accordance
 with the agreements reached during this meeting, we are requesting
 legal opinions on the following additional issues relating to the
 Chairman's request:

      1. Deobligation and Write Off of Obligations and Receivables.
 The balance of the Navy's Operation and Maintenance M account con-
 sists only of unpaid obligations and accounts receivable from the
 current lapsing appropriation account, together with the total of
 unpaid obligations applicable to foreign national employees. The
 policy of recording only the current lapsing year obligation and
 receivable amounts in the M account will also be applied to the
 RDT&E and Procurement appropriations which are lapsing for the first
 time during fiscal years 1974 and 1975, respectively. All lapsed
 unpaid obligations and receivables, other than the aforementioned,
 were or will be deobligated or written off by the Navy. If an
 amount deobligated is subsequently paid, the Navy makes a simultane-
 ous obligation and expenditure. When receivables which were
 previously written off are collected, a simultaneous earning and
 receipt are recorded.

     We also found that the Any writes off all accounts immediately
after lapsing. Subsequent collections are treated as a reduction
of M account disbursements.
