Session #99 · 1985–87

Speech #990103572

We now are considering the next general appropriations bill for LaborHHSEducation. The controversy remains unresolved and I would like to review briefly what has transpired since this colloquy. On June 28. 1985. the Comptroller General ruled that ORR acted erroneously in deducting fiscal year 1984 carryover from the sum appropriated for refugee assistance by the fiscal year 1985 Continuing Resolution. However. the Comptroller General did not find ORR in violation of the Impoundment Control Act because ORR. in good faith. relied upon authority from a previous GAO opinion. The Comptroller General did distinguish this previous rule and found no basis upon which ORR could withhold fiscal year 1985 funds.
