Highlights

GAO provided information regarding its opinion of the 1998 salaries and expenses appropriation for the Library of Congress, focusing on whether the language of the applicable conference report clearly defines the amount that must be used for the acquisition of library materials. GAO noted that the: (1) language of the appropriation requires the Library to set aside the stated amount for acquisition of library materials and is not intended as a discretionary maximum level of spending; and (2) the Library may not transfer part of its no-year funds to its fiscal year account without statutory authority.
