                          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

    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.
