Highlights

The President's first special message for fiscal year 1978 pursuant to the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 proposed the rescission of $2.668 million in general criminal justice and corrections grant funds appropriated to the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). However, the proposed legislative language submitted for congressional approval with the rescission request does not propose the rescission of the money but rather the transfer of the funds.
