August 5, 1977. 1 pp. + enclosure (3 pp.). Report to the Congress; by Elmer B. Staats, Comptroller General. Contact: Office of the General Counsel: Special Studies and Analysis. Budget Function: Aiscellaneous: Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (1005). organization Concerned: Department of Defense; General Services Administration. Congressional Relevance: Congress. Authority: Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The President's 14th special message for fiscal year 1977 transmitted to the Congress pursuant to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 proposed two rescissions, $21.09 million concerning the foreign military credit sales program and $75 million concerning the General Services Administration's (GSA's) Federal Buildings Fund. This message also proposed the deferral of $12.465 million in bulqet authority that had been provided to the Department of Defense (DOD) for military personnel and operation and maintenance activities. The 15th special message proposed two rescissions, one involvimg DOD procurement funis of $462 million resulting from the President's decision to terminate the B-1 bomber program and a second of S1.4 million for the SPAM-B missile. Findings/Conclusions: The proposed rescission frr the 'ederal Buildings Fund is inconsistent with GS?'- funding needs for alteration and repair projects. A recent GAO r:eview of GSA's management of space in Government-owned buildings concluded that one of the principal impediments to better use of GSA-managea buildings has been the shortage of alteration and repair funds. The review of GSA space management also lisclosed examples of vacant or underutilized Government buillings that GSA had not seriously zonsidered as candidates for renovation in order to reduce leased space and new construction requi:erents. The information provided on th-1 other rescissions and on the leferral is correct, and the actions being proposed have been clearly and accurately stated. (SC)
