handle is hein.gao/gaobaabkk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 June 1, 1976 B-115398 )q2 LM099328 Speaker of the House President of the Senate On April 13, 1976, the President submitted to the Congress his 13th special message for fiscal year 1976 pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The revised deferral (D76- 12B) submitted in the message increases by $3.9 million the amount previously deferred for the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Public Lands Development Roads and Trails program. The Impoundment Control Act requires the Comptroller General to review each message and report to the House and Senate concerning the facts surrounding each action, including the probable effect thereof and, in the case of deferrals, to render a judgment on whether the deferral is in accordance with existing legal authority. The Comptroller General is required to notify the Congress if supplementary information revising earlier messages necessitates changes in his original reports. Part of the budget authority proposed for deferral in this message was the subject of a rescission proposal (R76-40) submitted by the President in his 10th special message, dated January 23, 1976. The rescission bill (H.R. 11665) enacted on March 25, 1976, rescinded $4.9 million of the $8.8 million proposed for rescission in special message R76-40. For the remaining $3.9 million, the Senate Committee on Appropriations in its report (S. Rep. No. 94-640) stated: The Committee recommends rescission of $4,900,000 in contract authority for fiscal year 1976 provided by the Federal-Aid Highway Act, but disapproves the President's accompanying proposal to rescind another $3,900,000 available for fiscal year 1977. The latter amount should be deferred pending congressional action on the Bureau's fiscal year 1977 road construction program. The Committee will extend consideration to a rescission of contract authority available for ACG-76-28
