B-279886

April 28, 1998



The Honorable Peter Hoekstra
Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight
    and Investigations
Committee on Education and the Workforce
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

By letter dated April 22, 1998, you raised a number of issues concerning the
availability of federal funds to pay the expenses of supervising a rerun of the
1996 International Brotherhood of Teamsters election. You asked for our
response by April 28, 1998. Although we would typically solicit the views of
interested departments and agencies in preparing our response, because of the
short time frame requested, we did not obtain the views of the Departments of
Justice, Treasury, or Labor.

Your questions relate generally to the availability of funds appropriated in the
Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997, Pub. L. No. 104-208, Division A, title I,
110 Stat. 3009 (1996) (1997 Justice Appropriations Act), the Departments of
Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-119, 111 Stat. 2440 (1997) (1998
Justice Appropriations Act) and the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998, Pub. L.
No. 105-78, 111 Stat. 1467 (1997) (1998 Labor Appropriations Act), and the
permanent, indefinite appropriation commonly referred to as the Judgment
Fund, 31 U.S.C. § 1304. For ease of discussion we have grouped our analysis of
the issues under one of three headings: the 1997 Justice Appropriations Act, the
1998 Justice and Labor Appropriations Acts, and the Judgment Fund. Your
questions and our answers are set out below.
