handle is hein.gao/gaonop0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Cv~ o U.S. Government Accountability Office GAO-22-105883 September 2022 Report to Congressional Committees The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 appropriated $36.8 million to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for 13 projects at the request of Members of Congress. The act includes specific provisions that designate an amount of funds for a particular recipient, such as a nonprofit organization or a local government, to use for a specific project. These provisions are called Congressionally Directed Spending in the U.S. Senate and Community Project Funding in the House of Representatives. Members of Congress had to meet certain requirements under Senate and House rules in order to have their requests included as provisions in the act. Such requirements included that Members post requests online and certify that they had no financial interest in the projects. The House also required Members to demonstrate community support for requests. This report examines how NARA intends to identify the provisions, distribute the funds made available through these provisions, and ensure the funds are spent for the purposes Congress intended. For more information on this report and others in this series, including background and methodology, visit https://www.gao.gov/tracking-funds. What are the intended uses of these funds? The $36.8 million in funding is intended to support efforts to preserve historical records and improve presidential libraries.
