Digitized from Box 3 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 4, 1974
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
I herewith report on additional rescissions and
deferrals for the fiscal year 1975, as required by the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of
1974. Proposed rescissions which accompany this
message total $182 million and deferrals total
$3,239 million.
Included in this second submission to the Congress
under the new act are reports on actions concluded before
the effective date of the act and thus are not subject,
in the opinion of the Attorney General, to the provisions
of the new act. I am reporting this additional infor-
mation because I believe that it is appropriate to keep
the Congress informed on the status of all funds with-
held from obligation.
The attachment to this message lists the items
reported and identifies those actions taken prior to the
effective date of this act.
Failure to take the actions reported would result
in $3.4 billion of additional budget authority becoming
available for obligation. This would increase Federal
spending in the current fiscal year by $12 million and
in fiscal year 1976 by over $220 million. Additional
spending would be even greater in 1977, the first year
in which the new procedures for congressional review of
the budget will be in effect.
These actions are essential both to assure efficient
management of funds and to help keep Federal spending
from rising beyond current estimates. These are essential
steps to achieve the degree of fiscal restraint we need
in order to curb inflation.
