Highlights

In the original decision (B-33911), the Office of the Comptroller General held that the appropriations of the Forest Service were not available for the removal of inductive interference to Forest Service telephone lines occasioned by the installation of permitted power lines crossing national forest land. In view of recent actions by Congress, it is requested that the Comptroller General inform the Department of Agriculture whether the previous decision may be modified as it relates to inductive interference caused by power lines installed under permit to organizations financed by loans from the REA.
