                              RESCISSION PROPOSALS

        This budget contains proposals to reduce 2000 spending by $168
    million. These proposed reductions include $128 million in proposed
    rescissions detailed below and a proposal to defer $40 million from 2000
    to 2003 detailed in the Supplemental Proposals chapter of the Budget.

        Under the provisions of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public
    Law 93-344), whenever the President proposes a rescission of enacted
    appropriations, a special message must be sent to the Congress giving
    details of the proposals. Included below are related budget schedules
    and narrative explanations of proposals submitted in a special message
    at the time this budget was transmitted.

        This rescission proposal would rescind $12 million in prior year
    balances originally appropriated to fund acquisition, transportation,
    and injection of petroleum into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and for
    draw down and distribution of the Reserve. These balances are no longer
    needed because only de minimus oil acquisition, transportation, and
    injection is occurring. In the event that draw down and distribution of
    the Reserve is necessary, authority has been provided to the Department
    of Energy to transfer balances from other departmental accounts.

        This rescission proposal would rescind $103 million of obligated
    balances estimated to be recaptured during 2000. These recaptures will
    result from the elimination of excess funds available on some long-term
    section 8 contracts.
