MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
-FROM: JOSEPH R. WRIGHT
Deputy Directo
Appropriation
SUBJECT: Agency Operatics in the Absence of
1. This is to inform all heads of executive departments and
agencies of the possibility that no appropriations will be
Available after the fiscal year expires on midnight,
Thursday, September 30. Given the complexity of the
Continuing Resolution now being considered by the Congress,
work on a final bill may not be completed before the
expiration of the fiscal year.
2. Under this circumstance, it may become necessary to put
into effect your agency's contingency plan for the orderly
phasedown of agency operations not authorized to be continued
under the Attorney General's opinion of January 16, 1981.
3. If no appropriation applicable to your agency has been
enacted as of the beginning of the day of Friday, October 1,
you should begin to put into effect the contingency plan of
your agency for its orderly phasedown. However, in light of
possible changes in the situation, each agency should contact
OMB staff who normally handle agency budget matters, before
furloughing employees pursuant to the plan.
4. OMB staff, as well as the OMB Counsel's Office (395-4852)
are available to assist in the resolution of issues arising
in connection with an appropriations hiatus, and should be
contacted with regard to major questions that cannot be
determined by an agency. Questions relative to the
construction of the Antideficiency Act that cannot be jointly
resolved by an agency and OMB will be referred to the Office
of Legal Counsel of the Department of Justice.
