Impoundment Control

Comments on the President's Fourth Special Impoundment Message for Fiscal Year 1993 Gao ID: OGC-93-6 April 20, 1993

On March 16, 1993, the President submitted to Congress his fourth special impoundment message for fiscal year 1993. GAO reviewed the message, which revises the amount of one deferral of budget authority affecting the Forest Service's brush removal effort, and found it to be in accordance with the Impoundment Control Act. This message corrects the discrepancy in the amount of deferred budget authority GAO noted in its February 1992 report (GAO/OGC-93-4).

GAO found that the: (1) message corrected the discrepancy of deferred budget authority reported by the President; and (2) deferral was in accordance with the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Act of 1974.
