handle is hein.gao/gaobadpfa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: None reported None reported None reported In compliance with OMB Circular A-11, OSTP reported its view regarding GAO's conclusion in B-321 982, Oct. 11, 2011. In that case, GAO determined that OSTP's use of appropriations to fund certain bilateral interactions with China violated the prohibition set forth in section 1340(a) of the Department of Defense and Full- Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011. OSTP disagrees with GAO's conclusion, finding it contrary to a legal opinion OSTP obtained from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that section 1340(a) was unconstitutional. Thus, OSTP concludes, it did not violate the Antideficiency Act where the agency did not comply with a statute deemed unconstitutional by DOJ.
