President's Sixth Special Message for Fiscal Year 1986

Gao ID: OGC-86-19 May 28, 1986

GAO reviewed the President's sixth special message for fiscal year (FY) 1986, specifically three rescission proposals affecting the Department of Defense's budget authority for military procurement.

GAO found that: (1) two of the rescission proposals referred to the wrong public laws; and (2) the 45-day period of continuous session during which the funds may be withheld pending congressional consideration of a rescission bill would end on June 21, 1986. GAO identified no other information, except as noted, which would be useful to Congress in its consideration of the President's proposals.
