Impoundment Control

Status of Budget Authority Proposed for Rescission in President's Fifth Special Message for FY 1991 Gao ID: OGC-92-1 October 10, 1991

This letter reports on the status of budget authority that the President proposed for rescission in his fifth special impoundment message for fiscal year 1991, dated June 28, but for which Congress has not passed a rescission bill as defined under the Impoundment Control Act. All the budget authority withheld under the rescission proposals submitted in the fifth special message has been released by the Office of Management and Budget for obligation.

GAO found that as of September 28, 1991 the Office of Management and Budget made available for obligation all funds that the President had proposed for rescission, since Congress failed to complete action on a rescission bill.
