MACTTER   OF:Availability  of Appropriations For Grants to Eisenhower
              College


DIGEST:  1.


1976 appropriation for $1 million payment to Eisenhower
College (and Rayburn Library) based on percentages of
-proceeds from sale of $1 proof coins bearing Eisenhower
likeness as provided by Public Law 93-441 must be con-
strued as having meaningful effect. Thus, since only
proceeds during availability period of this appropriation
will be from sales of $1 proof coins bearing Bicentennial
design on reverse side, rather than Apollo 11 design
originally provided for by Pub. L. No. 93-441, such
proceeds may be used for payments to College and Library
pursuant to 1976 appropriation.


         2. Appropriation for payments to Eisenhower College, contained
             in Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1975, does not provide
             for availability beyond fiscal year. Section 201 of Act
             provides that no appropriation contained therein shall
             remain available for obligation beyond fiscal year unless
             expressly so provided. Appropriation in Act for Eiserjt. r
             College is therefore not available for obligation in fiscal
             year 1976.


     The General Counsel of the Department of the Treasury has requested
our decision as to whether certain funds appropriated to the Bureau of
Government Financial Operations are available to make payments to
Eisenhower College and the Sam Rayburn Library as grants under the pro-
visions of Pub. L. No. 93-441, 88 Stat. 1261, October 11, 1974. The
circumstances giving rise to the situation, and the question presented,
are stated by the General Counsel as follows:

          Section 201 of the Bank Holding Company Act Amend-
     ments of 1970, approved December 31, 1970 (Public Law 91-
     607), added a subsection (d) to section 101 of the Coinage
     Act of 1965 (31 U.S.C. 391) which authorized the Secretary
     of the Treasury to mint and issue not more than 150 million
     silver-clad dollars. Section 203 of that Act required that
     the dollars initially minted under section 101 of the
