5. Illustrative of the uniformly strict interpretation given to 31 U.S.C. 628 is a decision rendered by the Comptroller General to the Secretary of the Treasury and reported at 37 Comp. Gen. 732 (1958). In this case Congress had authorized an appropriation for payment of inequitable losses in pay sustained by military officers under emergency economy legislation, but did not thereafter include funds for this purpose when it enacted appropriations for the Treasury. The Commandant of the Coast Guard had advised a subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations during appropriation hearings that, unless the Committee had an objection, it was intended to pay such claims for losses in pay from the Coast Guard appropriation for "Operating Expenses." Thereafter, the General Accounting Office Claims Division determined that over $30,000 in such claims were allowable, but the Comptroller General was forced to conclude that no claims could be certified for payment because there was no available appropriation earmarked for their payment. Citing 31 U.S.C. 628 and stating the rule that "the appropriations provided by Congress to the Federal agencies may be used only for the objects for which they are made and no others," the Comptroller General decided that the statement made by the Commandant before the House subcommittee did not have the effect of making funds appropriated as "Operating Expenses" available for payment of the special claims. The Comptroller General held that the appropriate recourse was to submit a request for appropriation to the Congress.6. In 1849 the Congress sought to buttress the appropriation principle set forth in the Constitution by passing a law from which is derived 31 U.S.C. 484, which provides in part:The gross amount of all moneys received from whatever source for the use of the United States,... shall be paid by the officer or agent receiving the same into the Treasury, at as early a day as practicable, without any abatement or deduction on account of salary, fees, costs, charges, expenses, or claim of any description whatever.Also, Section 487 of 31 U.S.C. (originally passed in 1877) provides specifically that all proceeds of sales of public property of any kind, (with certain exceptions not relevant here) shall be deposited and covered into the Treasury as Miscellaneous Receipts and shall not be withdrawn or applied, except in consequence of a subsequent appropriation.7. Where the Agency makes funds available to establish a proprietary or to add additional investments, the funds are recorded on Agency books as having been expended and the Director certifies to the expenditure

# SECRETunder.section 8(b) of the CIA Act of 1949. I am informed that when an expenditure of this type is recorded on Agency books, nevertheless, a memorandum account is maintained so that the Agency has a record of the precise amount of Government funds invested in the proprietary. I am also informed that, if a proprietary were to be fully liquidated with the proceeds scheduled to go to the Reserve, but the funds returned are in excess of the investment, the excess would not be placed in the Reserve, but would be credited to Miscellaneous Receipts. Where funds are returned to the Agency from a proprietary, the current procedure is for the Agency to "reverse" the original expenditure entry and, for those funds which are to go into the Reserve, the Reserve account on the Agency books is credited, with notification to OMB.8. Let us take a hypothetical situation where 20 years ago the Agency expended $1 million to establish a proprietary. At that time the $1 million would have been recorded as expended, certified under the Director's authority for purposes contemplated by the appropriation of 20 years ago. In the meantime, that $1 million would have been spent by the proprietary for salaries, purchase of equipment, or for other purposes. The Agency either supplemented its original expenditure with additional monies or the proprietary might have made a profit during these years. This proprietary, at Agency direction, now liquidates its activities, including the selling of assets. Under the Constitution and the laws cited above, it is my opinion that the law requires all such return of funds to the Agency to be covered into the Treasury as Miscellaneous Receipts.9. The Agency may not legally expend these funds once again without the approval of the Congress, and by that I mean the full appropriations process and not merely the approval of OMB and notification to our two appropriations committees. The essential element missing in this latter procedure is that there has not been an appropriation bill approved by the Congress as a whole and signed by the President. In effect, the Agency would have had its appropriation supplemented without the full appropriation process.![signature of John S. Warner]JOHN S.
