The Honorable Dianne Feinstein
United States Senate

Dear Senator Feinstein:

This is in response to your request of November 29, 1995, for available information
on the numbers of federal employees who may be subject to furlough due to any
further lapse in fiscal year 1996 appropriations authority. You requested that the
information be provided by agencies under the jurisdiction of each appropriation
subcommittee.

It should be recognized that the data we have do not represent all of the employees
that may be subject to furlough if the appropriation bills or another continuing
resolution is not enacted. We summarized data from over 100 contingency plans
that OMB provided us covering the 14 cabinet departments and 52 independent
agencies. In several instances, the agency's contingency plan did not contain an
estimate of the number of employees expected to be furloughed or identified as
excepted from furlough. In addition, OMB did not provide us the plans of any
agency with fewer than 100 full-time federal employees, which is why we excluded
those agencies from our analysis.

As of November 30, 1995, 7 of the 13 appropriations bills have been enacted. For
the agencies covered by each of the six appropriation bills not enacted as of that
date, enclosures I through V provide data available from each agency's contingency
shutdown plan on the number of employees subject to a funding lapse furlough.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) made the plans available to us in
October 1995.
