Impoundment Control

Comments on the President's Third Special Impoundment Message for Fiscal Year 1993 Gao ID: OGC-93-5 March 30, 1993

On February 26, 1993, the President submitted to Congress his third special impoundment message for fiscal year 1993. GAO reviewed the message's three deferrals of budget authority, which involve funds for international disaster assistance and timber salvage sales, and found them to be in accordance with the Impoundment Control Act. GAO notes that the unreported impoundment of budget authority mentioned in GAO's February 1993 letter (GAO/OGC-93-4) is reported in the President's special message.

GAO found that the: (1) deferrals were in accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974; and (2) unreported impoundment of budget authority reported to Congress is reported in the President's special message.
