EXPLANATION OF REQUESTS This part contains supplemental appropriations requests for 1987 being proposed for congressional consideration in this budget. Requests for supplemental appropriations are usually made after enactment of regular appropriations. In cases where programs are funded under a continuing resolution, some requests are included to supplement the funding available under the resolution. Information is also included on proposals to rescind budget authority and to rescind or otherwise reduce the availability of other budgetary resources. PROPOSED SUPPLEMENTAL REQUESTS Supplemental requests are shown as separate sec tions. Section I.-Supplementals proposed in this budget for various purposes are presented in this section and usually include: suggested appropriation language, the related budget schedules, and the reasons for the requests. In some cases, language is proposed to reduce mandatory program levels (entitlements, for example) included in authorizing legislation. In such cases, sepaLate budget schedules are not shown, but the reduced funding levels that would result are reflected in the regular budget schedules for the account in Part I. Language is also included to propose reductions in enacted direct loan and guaranteed loan limitations. A status of direct loans or status of guaranteed loans schedule will II-2 show the changes in credit activity resulting from the lower limitation. Section II.-Requests for pay supplementals in this section are in the form of suggested appropriations language. The amounts contained in the appropriations language also appear as separate line entries in the regular program and financing schedules in Part I. Section III.-Requests for supplementals for increased retirement contributions due to enactment of the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) Act of 1986, Public Law 99-335, are shown in the same manner as pay supplementals. Proposed appropriations language for the FERS requests is presented in this section and the amounts requested are identified on separate line entries in the Part I program and financing schedules.
