    Dear Mr. Speaker: In order to keep the Congress apprised of 
the amount and frequency of rescissions proposed and enacted we 
have updated our previous compilation of historical information 
and statistics regarding rescissions proposed by the executive 
branch and rescission enacted by the Congress through the close 
of fiscal year 1996. These statistics were prepared in 
accordance with the same scope and methodology used in 
compiling our previous tables.
    I trust you will find this information useful.
