434 shall, except to the extent rescinded, modified, superseded, or made inapplicable by or under authority of law ? ? * have the same effect as if such reorganization had not been made." 21° Fiscal Coordination.-In connection with the foregoing reorganization possibilities, the Budgeting and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950 provides added authority for certain transfers of appropriations, whenever under authority of law a function of an agency is transferred or assigned from one agency to another.211 Use of the funds is limited, however, to the purpose for which they were originally available.212 The 1932 Economy Act also permits certain transfers of funds between federal agencies as payment for work done or materials furnished by one agency for another.213 Also, by the Budgeting and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950, Congress sanctioned the use of a performance budget.214 Such a budget should facilitate coordination among agencies in carrying out the separate parts of an integrated program. Departmental Coordination of Action of Subordinate Agencies.-As we have noted, many executive departments and agencies are participating in river-basin development. Some of these departments have more than one subordinate operating agency involved in such development. Conse- quently, each of such departments has a special responsibility for coordination. There are certain limits upon the authority of department heads to transfer responsibilities or enforce coordination among subordinate agencies.215 The basic authority under which they may delegate or reassign responsibilities reads:216 210 § 9(a) (1), 63 Stat. 206, 5 U. S. C. 133z-7(a) (1) (Supp. III). 211 Act of September 12, 1950, § 202, 64 Stat. 832, -. 212 § 202(b), 64 Stat.-. 2M Act of June 30,1932, § 601, 47 Stat. 382, 417, as amended, see 31 U. S.
