The special message transmits six rescission proposals, three new deferrals, and two revised deferrals. The President estimates that the proposed rescissions will reduce fiscal year 1976 outlays by $181.7 million. Enclosure I summarizes, by agency, the total budget authority and FY 1976 outlay reductions involved in the message. The Impoundment Control Act requires us to review each message and report promptly to the House and Senate as to the facts surrounding each action, including the probable effect thereof and, in the case of deferrals, to render a judgment as to whether the action is in accordance with existing legal authority. We are also required to notify the Congress if supplementary infor- mation revising earlier messages necessitates changes in the original reports submitted by us. Enclosure II contains our comments on each impoundment proposal trans- mitted by the President's seventh special message. For at least one of the proposed rescissions, R76-13, our check of Executive Branch records indicates that the $768 million of budget authority had been impounded but unreported by OMB since at least October 29, or 20 days before the Congress was made aware of the proposed rescis- sion. This unreported impoundment affects the length of time before the proposed rescission can be rejected. En- closure III is a listinq of pertinent actions taken by Administration officials regarding the Office o1 Education rescission proposals. Comptroller General of the United States EnclosuresAC-61
