Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508) 
(hereafter referred to as ``the Act''), I hereby order that the 
following actions be taken immediately to implement the sequestrations 
and reductions determined by the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget as set forth in his report dated April 25, 1991, under 
sections 251 and 254 of the Act:
    (1) Budgetary resources for each nonexempt account within the
