                             to be printed


                  Comptroller General of the United States,
                                      Washington, DC, May 11, 1998.
Hon. Newt Gingrich,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: On February 20, 1998, the President 
submitted to the Congress his second special impoundment 
message for fiscal year 1998. The message reports twenty-four 
proposed rescissions of budget authority, numbers R98-1 through 
R98-24. We have reviewed the proposed rescissions contained in 
the second special message and found them to be in accordance 
with the Impoundment Control Act, as amended, 2 U.S.C. 
Sec. Sec. 681-692.
    Enclosure I provides specific information with regard to 
several of the proposed rescissions. Enclosure II lists the 
proposed rescissions as submitted by the President in his 
special message.
            Sincerely,
                                         James F. Hinchman,
                   Acting Comptroller General of the United States.
    Enclosures.
