   Mr. Jack Brady
   Staff Director
   Committee on Foreign Affairs  V1
   House of Representatives

   Dear M.r. Brady:

         The enclosed computer printout is forwarded for your
    information and use in preparation 'of your committee's
    views and estimates report to thee Budget Committee on the
    fiscal year 1980 budget. The General Accounting Office
    has prepared this information as part of our efforts to
    respond to the requirements in Title VIII of the Congres-
    sional Budget Act of 1974 that the Comptroller General (1)
    develop and maintain standard classificatioi._; for fiscal,
    budgetary and program-related information and (2) assist
    committees in developing their. information needs.

         We have attempted to identify all the tederal programs
    and activities that are within your committee's jurisdiction
    using available source documents, such as the Budget Appen-
    dix and agency budget justifications, and in consultation
    with cognizant congressional and executive agency officials.
    We want to emphasize that the list of programs/activities' in
    the enclosed document is an eff,, t to capture the existing
    inventory of programs; it is not a standard classification
    of program and budget data. Also, the budget data was ob-.
    tained directly from the agencies, and except for certain
    test checks that we performed, we relied on their input as
    to the accuracy and validity of the data.

         For each program or activity identifi6d, we have
    displayed the program authorizing and funding legisla-
    tion (public law and U.S. Code citation) and the relevant
    budgetary information (authorization, budget authority,
    obligations and outlays). Tlhe requisite budget data are
    provided for fiscal years 1978 (actual), 1979 (estimate)
    and 1980 (President's budget request).
