Yearend Obligations Broken Down by Subcommittee Jurisdiction

GAO provided the Senate Committee on Appropriations with schedules of yearend obligations by month for each of the 3 months of the fourth quarter and the total obligations for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year. The information, obtained from Treasury bulletins, was given for fiscal years 1977, 1978, and 1979, and was broken down by subcommittee jurisdiction to the maximum extent possible. Because the request had such a short timeframe, the information was not verified with the agencies or the Department of the Treasury.
