Impoundment Control

President's Seventh Special Message for FY 1991 and First Special Message for FY 1992 Gao ID: OGC-92-3 November 12, 1991

On September 30, 1991, the President submitted to Congress his seventh special impoundment message for fiscal year 1991 and his first special impoundment message for fiscal year 1992. The seventh special impoundment message reports one deferral of fiscal year 1991 funds for international disaster assistance at the Agency for International Development. The first special message reports seven deferrals of budget authority. GAO reviewed these deferrals and found them to be in compliance with the Impoundment Control Act.

GAO provided specific information on: (1) three of the deferrals which would be useful to Congress in examining messages, including information regarding one deferral that, due to an oversight, was not reported until September 30, 1991; and (2) a list of the deferrals as reported by the President. GAO found that the deferrals were in accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
