B-205053
                                           February 5, 1982
The Honorable Peter A. Peyser
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Peyser:

     This is in response to your letter of January 27, 1982,
requesting that we investigate a possible unreported impound-
ment of funds by the Office of Management and Budget.
      The funds involved are earmarked for use for library services
and interlibrary cooperation programs under Titles I and III of
the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA), 20 U.S.C. SS351
et seq., (Supp. I1 1979). 1/ The formula by which the amounts
appropriated are to be allotted to eligible States is specified
in 20 U.S.C. 5351c, which provides in pertinent part:

           0(a)(1) From the sums appropriated h * *
           for any fiscal year, the Commissioner
           shall allot the minimum allotment, as
           determined under paragraph 13) of this
           subsection, to each State. Any sums
           remaining after mimimum allotments have
           been made shall be allotted in the man-
           ner set forth in paragraph (2) of this
           subsection.

           (2) From the remainder of any sums
           appropriated * * * for any fiscal year,
           the Commissioner shall allot to each
           State such part of such remainder as
           the population of the State bears to
           the population of all the States.


  / The Continuing Resolution, Pub. L. No. 97-92, 5101 author-
     izes funding at the levels specified in the Departments of
     Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related
     Agencies appropriation bill, 1982. The two LSCA programs
     and three other library programs are funded out of the same
     lump-sum appropriation for libraries in the Labor-HS appro-
     piiation bill. The House and Senate reports accompanying
     the appropriation bill specify the same amounts for alloca-
     tion from the lump-sum appropriation to the two LSCA pro-
     grams. See S. Rep. No. 97-268, 140-142 (1981).
