[Comments on Availability of Appropriation Provided to the National Commission on AIDS]

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO commented on whether the appropriated funds provided to the National Commission on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome were available for obligation until expended or whether they expired at the end of the fiscal year (FY) 1991. GAO concluded that since Congress did not make clear that is intended to provide no-year funds, the funds provided to the Commission expired at the end of FY 1991 and were not available for obligation thereafter.
