Roth, Jr. Chairman, Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: This responds to your April 1, 1986, request for commentq on S. 2198, which would provide that benefits payable in calendar year 1987 under programs listed in section 257(l)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law'99-177) would not be subject to suspension or reduction under an order issued by the President under the Act. Public Law 99-177 currently includes a number of exemptions, exceptions, limitations, and special rules to protect a. number of specified accounts, in whole or in part, from the automatic reduction process. The drafters of the statute made case by case determinations as to which accounts should b'e included among the list of those exempted or protected, based upon factors relating to policy and equity. S. 2198 would, in effect, expand that list to include a designated portion of programs subject to reduction of automatic spending increases. The need for such an amendment, in our view, is a policy determination best left to the judgment of the Congress. Sincerely yours, frComptroller General ! of the United States FLi' FILE....... PGEMI
