      -COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES                -o
                      WASHINGTON. D.C. 2548
                            February 27, 1976

B-115398

                                                       LM099945

Speaker of the House
President of the Senate


     We were furnished copies of deferrals and proposed
rescissions which the President submitted to the Congress
on February 6, in his llth special message for fiscal
year 1976 pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
The special message transmits one revised rescission pro-
posal, three new deferrals, and four revised deferrals.
The President estimates that the impoundments will reduce
fiscal year 1976 outlays by $9.5 million--the Department
of Agriculture $9 million and the Department of Interior
$.5 -million.

     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 GAO. Our comments
on each impoundment transmitted by the President's llth
special message are enclosed.

     We call your attention to the information furnished
the Congress regarding the Youth Conservation Corps
(D76-101). As the message is now, it would be possible
to conclude that $15.7 million is available for use in-
stead of $8.3 million which is actually available (see
page one of the enclosure).
