Status of Budget Authority Proposed for Rescission

Gao ID: OGC-84-12 May 24, 1984

GAO reviewed the status of an unreported withholding of $30 million provided for the immigrant education assistance program. This withholding had been reported to Congress in March 1984 as a budget authority rescission proposal under the Impoundment Control Act.

GAO reported that, on May 16, 1984, the budget authority was apportioned by the Office of Management and Budget to the Department of Education's Office of Bilingual and Minority Language Affairs for grants to schools with substantial numbers of immigrants.
