OGC-81-4 1 (1981-03-03)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabbry0001 and id is 1 raw text is: B-200685 COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON D.C. 20540 March 3, 1981 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives 114796 On January 29, 981, theL resident's fourth special message for fi-ie-a4 ye-ea 19811 was transmitted to the Congress pursuant to the Impoundment Co ol Act of 1974. The special message pro- posed a rescission (R81-34) of $1.5 million appropriated to the Executive Office of the President, Council on Wage and Price Stability for salaries and expenses. An official for the Council informed us that reduction in force notifications were issued on or about February 2, 1981, and that staff positions will be reduced from about 170 to about 35 by March 7, 1981. Based on the current legislative calendar, the 45-day period of continuous session during which funds proposed for rescission in R81-34 may be withheld pending congressional con- sideration of a rescission bill ends on March 25, 1981. Under section 1012(b) of the Impoundment Control Act, the funds covered by R81-34 must be made available for obligation if a rescission bill is not passed by the Congress by that date. However, officials with the Council and OMB informed us that since the positions and the program being terminated were established by Executive Order under authority granted to the President by Congress, this action will occur regardless of whether the rescission proposal is passed. OMB stated that R81-34 was proposed merely to comply with the technical requirements of the Act. Therefore, if a rescission bill is not passed, the funds will be made available but go unspent since the program and positions will be terminated. y -o- I - I I?- 1 Comptroller General of the United States SOGC-81-4 1t',L/f6
