*Justification:
The funding level authorized for this appropriation under the continuing
resolution exceeds the FY 1976 President's Budget. This deferral of funds
is designed to keep third quarter spending under the continuing resolu-
tion at the level of the 1976 Budget request.
*Estimated Effects:
Pending resolution of the appropriation, this action postpones through
the third quarter an estimated 11 new research grants that would be
permitted under the continuing resolution. Under the deferral, the
Institute will be able to fund all competing renewals and continuations
at the approved funding levels. The amount postponed is less than 2% of
budget authority available under the continuing resolution.
Given the nature of biomedical research, it is difficult to assess any
deleterious effects associated with the deferral upon either health
status or the development of significant new knowledge.

*Justification:
The funding level authorized for Medical care standards (Trust Funds) under the
continuing resolution exceeds the President's 1976 Budget request. The funding level
authorized for Program management under the continuing resolution exceeds both the
President's 1976 Budget request and the Congressional allowance in the 1976 Labor-HEW
Appropriations Bill. This deferral of funds is designed to keep third quarter spending
under the continuing resolution at the level of the 1976 Budget request for Medical care
standards and at the Congressional allowance for Program management.
*Estimated Effects:
The deferral of $498,000 for Medical care standards and $1,125,000 for Program management
through the third quarter of 1976 will result in maintaining the program level and
activities planned in the President's 1976 Budget request for Medical care standards and
in the Congressional allowance for Program management. In the event the 1976 appropria-
tion is at the level permitted bv the Congressional allowance, the higher level of
funding for Medical care standards would be used to support certain lower priority
contracts and training activities. Program management will operate at the Congressional
allowance level.

Justification:
This program is funded by appropriations made in the Department of Trans-
portation and Related Agencies Appropriation Acts of 1976 (P.L. 4-134)
and prior years. These appropriations are available until expended.
This deferral action has been taken at the request of the Canal Zone
Government until project inspection charges and certain other services
to be performed by the Panama Canal Company are rendered. The reserve
has been established under the provisions of the Antideficiency Act
(31 U.S.C. 665) to insure fund availability for project inspection and
certain other services provided by the Panama Canal Company which are
essential for the completion of projects.
Estimated Effects:
The amount deferred could not be used if made available in the current
year because of the scheduling of the planned construction program.
Thus, the deferral action has no programmatic or budgetary effect.
*
These funds are proposed for deferral through June 30, 1976, or,
if appropriate legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976.
D76-86
These deferrals have no programmatic or budgetary effect because the funds could
not be obligated at this time, even if they were made available.

Justification
The above amounts in the listed no-year appropriations are currently deferred under
provisions of the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) which authorize the establish-
ment of reserves for contingencies.
Due to the long period of time required to construct facilities, the Congress makes
appropriations for this purpose available until expended. The above funds are deferred
due to administrative delays, such as project designs not being completed and incom-
plete coordination of projects with either other Federal agencies or local govern-
ment agencies.

REHABILITATION LOAN FUND
Uncommitted balances of appropriations and receipts in the Rehabilitation
Loan Fund established pursuant to Section 312 of the Housing Act of 1964,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 1452b), other than amounts required for loan
servicing costs and other expenses of operation, are hereby rescinded.
R76-28

The block grant approach is a more desirable method of providing Federal community
development assistance, affording communities greater flexibility and discretion
in the use of such assistance. This contention is based on the widespread
acceptance which this new approach has received from State and local officials,
particularly in the area of housing rehabilitation. Consequently, there is no
need to continue separate categorical funding through another fiscal year.
Rescission of the estimated $60,670,000 is therefore proposed.
Estimated Effects
Given the availability of the Community Development Block Grant program,
rescission of the amount shown above will have no adverse effect on the ability
of localities to provide housing rehabilitation assistance. Significant Federal
assistance will still be available.

Justification
The Rehabilitation Loan Fund is authorized by section 312 of the Housing Act of 1964,
as amended. It has provided financial assistance for the rehabilitation of
residential and business properties. Pursuant to the Emergency Housing Act of 1975,
the authority to make loans under this program will expire on August 22, 1976.
It is proposed that all unused balances, including appropriated funds and other
income available to the loan fund, be rescinded. No additional loan commitments
would be made after December 31, 1975. A small amount -- $5,670,000 -- would be
retained for loan servicing costs and other expenses.
The Rehabilitation Loan Fund has been replaced by the Community Development Block
Grant program under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
One of the many activities eligible for assistance under this new program is
housing rehabilitation. Fund allocation experience for 1975 indicates that block
grant recipients are programming a significant portion (approximately 9 percent)
of their grant funds for that purpose. A similar level of activity is anticipated
during the current fiscal year.
* This estimate is subject to change and may be adjusted once actual accounting
data become available.

The funding level authorized for this appropriation under the continuing resolution
exceeds the FY 1976 President's Budget. This deferral of funds is designed to keep
third quarter spending under the continuing resolution at the level of the 1976 Budget
request.
Estimated Effects:
Pending resolution of the appropriation, this action postpones during the third quarter
an estimated 57 new research grants that would be permitted under the continuing
resolution. Under the deferral, the Institute will be able to fund all competing
renewals and continuations at the approved funding levels. The amount postponed is less
than 3% of budget authority available under the continuing resolution.
Given the nature of biomedical research, it is difficult to assess any deleterious effects
associated with the deferral upon either health status or the development of significant
new knowledge.

* Justification:
Research for general mental health--The funding level authorized for this program in the
continuing resolution exceeds the 1976 budget request. Deferral of funds in the amount
of $4,540,000 is proposed to keep cumulative third quarter funding at the President's
1976 budget request level,
In addition to maintaining the intramural research program, the President's Budget request
would provide sufficient funds for all program commitments to about 778 ongoing general
mental health projects. Within this effort, an adequate number of scientifically
meritorious projects would be supported that address the wide range of mental health
and social problems. Any research proposal that shows exceptional promise to obtain
desired break-throughs in understanding the underlying causes of mental illness can be
undertaken through the intramural program or by reprogramming of lower priority efforts.
Program Direction--The funding level authorized for this program in the continuing
resolution exceeds the Congressional allowance for the 1976 Labor-HEW Appropriations Bill.
Deferral of funds in the amount of $370,000 is proposed to keep cumulative third quarter
funding at the Congressional allowance level.
*Revised from previous submission
D76-40C
Estimated Effects:
General Mental Health Research--The deferral of $4,540,000 through the third quarter
of the year will delay the funding of approximately 47 new research grants. This
delay in funding until after the third quarter will have no significant adverse
programmatic effect.
Given the nature of biomedical and behavioral research,
it is difficult to precisely assess any deleterious effects associated with the
deferral upon either health status or the development of significant new knowledge.
Program Direction--The reduction in operating level that is associated with the
Congressional allowance for the first three quarters of the year for ADAMHA Program
Direction would result in delay in filling job vacancies in the areas of monitoring
projects, technical assistance, and project management.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
Report Pursuant to Sec. 1014 (c) of P.L. 93-344
This supplementary message revises Deferral No. D76-45A trans-
mitted in the special message of October 3, 1975, and printed
as House Document No. 94-272 and Senate Document No. 94-107.
This revision reflects an increase of $1,000,000 in the amount
of 1976 continuing resolution funds deferred for the Child welfare
services activity of the Public Assistance account in the Social
and Rehabilitation Service. This action results in a total
deferral of $3,000,000.
In this formula grant program, awards are made to the States on a
quarterly basis. The $2,000,000 deferral from the first and
second quarter awards is being augmented by an additional $1,000,000
from the amount available for third quarter awards. The increased
third quarter deferral reflects the increased availability in the
Continuing Resolution ($50 million) over the amount requested in
the 1976 President's Budget ($46 million). No outlay savings will
result from this deferral.

*Justification:
The funding level authorized for this program under the continuing resolution exceeds
the 1976 Budget request, This deferral of funds is proposed to hold third quarter
spending at the 1976 Budget level pending consideration by the Congress, through the
appropriations process, of the President's proposed level of funding for this pr jram
for 1976. This proposal represents the cumulative amount of funds to be deferred
through the third quarter.
*Estimated Effects:
Federal support under Title IV-B of the Social Security Act is only about
7% of the total estimated Federal and State expenditures of $640 illion
for Child Welfare Services. Experience with this program has indicated
that there is no appreciable change in the State program level as a result
of small Federal funding changes for this activity. Therefore, this
deferral of funds through the third quarter will have negligible effect on
the provision of services to the 494,000 children served in FY 1976.

Justification
The Second Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1975 (P.L. 94-32, approved June 12, 1975)
included $7,000,000, without fiscal year limitation, for this account for the
acquisition of real properties in the Arab Republic of Egypt under the Foreign Service
Buildings Act. Use of these funds was made contingent upon enactment of authorization
for the appropriation, which was accomplished by the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, Fiscal Year 1976 (P.L. 94-141, approved November 29, 1975).
In May, 1975, the Egyptian Government canceled a preliminary property exchange agree-
ment upon which the appropriation request was based. That action has caused the
Department to revise its earlier plans so that an Ambassador's residence will be
constructed on a site owned by the United States since 1966. Architectural plans and
specifications are being prepared, but these will not be completed in time to allow
bids to be solicited and a construction contract awarded before the fiscal year 1977.
Accordingly, $2,275,000 planned for the construction of the Embassy residence has
been placed in reserve for contingencies to assure prudent financial management.
This amount is planned for deferral through June 30, 1976, and, if appropriate
legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976. These funds could not be used
effectively during the current year and the subsequent transition quarter even if
made available for obligation.

Estimated Effects
None. The amount deferred could not be obligated before the fiscal year 1977.

Justification - The construction schedules for a replacement icebreaker and two training
facility additions require the deferral of $1,061,000 for outfitting and furnishings
at least until fiscal year 1977. This amount is deferred to assure prudent financial
management for the entire fiscal year. The funds are proposed for deferral through
June 30, 1976, or, if appropriate legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976.
Estimated Effects - The deferred funds could not be used effectively during the current
or budgetary impact.

Justification
This appropriation finances construction of major improvements and ex-
pansion of facilities at Washington National and Dulles International Airports. Fro-
jects are undertaken to insure capability of these airports to adequately, safel , and
efficiently meet air travel needs of the public and to promote development of a iation.
These funds were appropriated in the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies
Appropriation Acts of 1974, 1975, and 1976. Because of delays in passage of the 1976
appropriation bill and the time required for selection of engineering consultant firms
and negotiation of construction contracts, it is not possible to obligate or expend
all contract funds during FY 1976. This deferral action is consistent with the
Congressional intent to provide multi-year funding for total costs of these projects
and is taken under provisions of the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) that
authorize the establishment of reserves for contingencies.
Estimated Effects
The amount deferred could not be economically used, if made available, in fiscal year
1976 because of the planned multi-year procurement, construction and/or installation
cycle. The following projects will be deferred in FY 1976 until the transition quarter
or FY 1977:
Master Plan for Washington National Airport - $208,656 -- This project will be
initiated after the policy statement concerning the role of Washington National
Airport is completed. Following the issuance of this policy statement, several
months will be required to select an engineering consultant firm and negotiate
a contract. The earliest this contract can be expected to be awarded is in the
transition quarter.

Resurface Runway 18/36 - $870,000 -- Design of the contract will be
accomplished in FY 1976. The construction contract is now expected to
be awarded in the transition quarter.
Reconstruct and Overlay Main Ramp - $600,000 -- Design will be accomplished
in FY 1976. This contract is now expected to be awarded in the transition
quarter.
Terminal Expansion - $7,000,000 -- The terminal expansion design contract is
being amended to cover working drawings for the $7,000,000 Dulles terminal
expansion. Upon completion of the working drawings, the construction contract
will be advertised. The construction contract is now expected to be awarded
in the first quarter of FY 1977.

Justification:
This account finances the termination of the supersonic transport development program.
The total cost of settlement of contractor claims and closeouts, airline refunds,
completion of specifically designated technology programs, and necessary governmental
administrative costs incidental to these activities is included. These funds were appro
priated by the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriation Acts, 197
and 1972. Because of the difficulty in ending such a complex and massive undertaking,
termination has taken a number of years. Settlement is being accomplished as quickly
as possible consistent with the legitimate claims of the contractors and the protection
of government interests. Therefore, it is necessary to apportion funds SO that they
will be available at the time claims are settled. Most of these settlements are expecte
after fiscal year 1976. This deferral action is taken under the provisions of the
Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) that authorize the establishment of reserves for
contingencies. The funds are proposed for deferral through June 30, 1976, or, if
appropriate legislation is enacted, through September 30, 1976. If they can be used
sooner, they will be made available.

Justification
The Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-236) re-
quires the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to direct rail carriers
to provide necessary service on lines of other carriers who have
ceased operations. It also requires the ICC to provide reimbursements
for any losses incurred by the carriers providing the directed service.
Funds made available for these reimbursements are in excess of the
amounts expected to be required during this fiscal year and the
transition quarter.
By law, the budget authority may be used only when rail service has
been discontinued and the ICC subsequently directs other carriers to
resume the service. Currently, no further discontinuations of service
are expected. Should such discontinuations occur, however, a further
11 months would elapse before the deferred funds would be spent due
to the timing specifications set out in the law. In effect, the
budget authority is provided on a contingency basis and will be used
when the anticipated events occur.
Estimated Effects
This deferral has no programmatic, fiscal, budgetary or economic impact.
The budget authority being deferred will be used for the subsidies
required by law when the events specified by law have occurred.
