Summary

Amends the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to state that such Act does not supersede any provision requiring the making of commitments to guarantee or insure the indebtedness of qualified applicants or establishing minimum levels for such commitments. Includes within the meaning of "rescission bill" any bill or joint resolution which rescinds only loan guarantee authority as well as a bill or joint resolution which rescinds only budget authority. Applies to rescissions of loan guarantee authority the same requirements governing rescissions of budget authority. Requires that loan guarantee authority proposed to be rescinded be fully committed unless within 45 days Congress completes action on a rescission bill rescinding all or part of the amount proposed. Requires that loan guarantee authority proposed to be deferred shall be fully committed if either House passes an impoundment resolution disapproving such deferral. Applies to deferrals of loan guarantee authority the same requirements governing deferrals of budget authority. Empowers the Comptroller General to bring suit to compel commitment to guarantee or insure loans as well as to make budget authority available for obligation. Provides for civil action if budget authority is not made available for obligation or if commitments have not been made. Requires the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to apportion annually loan guarantee authority in order to specify the amount to be committed during each of the succeeding five fiscal years. Permits the establishment of reserves. Directs the President to include a statement of such apportionment with the annual budget transmission.
