The special message pro- poses two rescissions of budget authority totaling $88.2 million and 72 deferrals of budget authority totaling $482.9 million as follows: DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE R82-1 Aircraft Procurement, Air Force 571/33010 The proposed rescission is based on a decision by the Admin- istration to purchase 120 instead of 180 F-16 aircraft in 1982. ,The conferees on the 1982 Department of Defense authorization bill have recommended funds for 120 F-16's in 1982, as well as for advance procurement of another 120 aircraft under a multi- year procurement plan beginning in fiscal year 1982. I See H.R. Rep. No. 97-311, 53 (1981). _ - The conference report recognizes that the funds proposed for rescission are no longer needed for the original purpose for which they were authorized (advance procurement of an addi- tional 60 aircraft in 1982), because of the Air Force's decision to adopt a new multi-year procurement program beginning in 1982. However,'the conferees have recommended that the proposed rescis- sion not be enacted and that the Air Force be authorized to use the funds to finance the restructured procurement plan in 1982. Consistent with that recommendation, the conferees recommended $60.8 million less than the amount requested by the Administra- tion for purchasing the 120 F-16's in 1982.-, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - MILITARY R82-2 (Missile Procurement, Air Force 571/33020 Based on the current legislative.calendar, the 45-day period of continuous session during which the funds may be withheld pend- ing congressional consideration of a rescission bill will end on December 16, 1981. 116932 OGC-82-4
