INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Budget and Accounting Act (31 U. S. C. 1-24) and other applicable laws, the
budget for the fiscal year 1960 contains the President's
recommendations for the work program and financial
program of the Government for the 12 months beginning
July 1, 1959, and ending June 30, 1960. It also presents
comparable information for the fiscal years 1958 (actual)
and 1959 (partly actual and partly estimated).
The material in the budget covers both groups of funds
administered by agencies of the Government—Federal
funds (owned by the Government), and trust and deposit
funds (held in trust or in suspense by the Government),
although only the Federal funds are included in the computation of the budget surplus or deficit.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE BUDGET
of part II is arranged in chapters reflecting the organization of the Government.
Part III (pp. 877 through 925) contains a summary
table on trust and deposit funds, and detailed schedules
and explanatory statements on the various trust funds.
Part IV (pp. 927 through 1014) contains special analyses
of budget data and Federal programs. These analyses
supplement material appearing in other parts of the
budget. Some of these give details for certain summary
figures appearing in part I—for example, a classification
of budget receipts by source, and a classification of budget
expenditures according to functions and subfunctions.
Several of the other special analyses in part IV contain
materials which present different groupings or classifications of data.
An appendix, printed separately, contains more detailed
information on personal services by grade and title.
The budget for the municipal government of the District
of Columbia is also printed separately and the main
volume of the budget contains detail only for the Federal
payments and loans to the District.
The budget document consists of the President's budget
message and four parts which contain summary tables,
detailed data, and special analyses.
In the budget message (pp. M4 through M78), appear the
general statement of the President's financial program and
an outline of his major recommendations.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS

BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress oj the United States:
The situation we face today as a Nation differs significantly from
that of a year ago. We are now entering a period of national prosperity and high employment. This is a time for the Government to
conduct itself so as best to help the Nation move forward strongly and
confidently in economic and social progress at home, while fulfilling
our responsibilities abroad. The budget of the United States for the
fiscal year 1960, transmitted herewith, will effectively and responsibly
carry out the Government's role in dealing with the problems and the
opportunities of the period ahead.
This budget proposes to increase our military effectiveness, to enhance domestic well-being, to help friendly nations to foster their
development, to preserve fiscal soundness, and to encourage economic
growth and stability, not only in the fiscal year 1960 but in the years
beyond. And it clearly shows that these things can be done within
our income.
We cannot, of course, undertake to satisfy all proposals for Government spending. But as we choose which ones the Government should
accept, we must always remember that freedom and the long-run
strength of our economy are prerequisite to attainment of our national
goals. Otherwise, we cannot, for long, meet the imperatives of individual freedom, national security, and the many other necessary
responsibilities of Government. In short, this budget fits the conditions of today because:
1. It is a balanced budget.—My recommendations call for an
approximate equality between revenues and expenditures, with a
small surplus.
2. It is a responsible budget.—By avoiding a deficit, it will
help prevent further increases in the cost of living and the hidden
and unfair tax that inflation imposes on personal savings and
incomes.
3. It is a confident budget.—It anticipates, in a rapidJy
advancing economy, increases in revenues without new general
taxes, and counts upon the unity and good judgment of the
American people in supporting a level of government activity
which such revenues will make possible.
4. It is a positive budget.—It responds to national needs,
with due regard to urgencies and priorities, without being either
extravagant or unduly limiting.
5. It is an attainable budget.—Its proposals are realistic and
can be achieved with the cooperation of the Congress.
m6
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
Any budget is a financial plan. The budget for the Government is
proposed by the President, but it is acted upon by the Congress which
has the duty under the Constitution to authorize and appropriate for
expenditures. Therefore, responsibility for the Government's finances is a shared one. Achievement of the plan set forth in this
budget from here on depends upon congressional response, popular
support, and developments in our economy and in the world.
FUTURE B U D G E T
OUTLOOK
The actions we take now on the 1960 budget will affect the fiscal
outlook for many years to come. This budget was prepared in the
light of the following generaljprospects for Government finances for
the next few years.
Growth of revenues.—Our Nation's population and labor force
will continue to increase. The output per hour of work on our farms
and in our factories can also be expected to grow as it has in the
past. With sustained economic expansion, with employment of our
people and resources at high levels, and with continued technological
advance, the value of total national production and income will be
substantially larger in the future than it is today.
Economic growth generates higher personal incomes and business
profits. Under our graduated income tax system, with present tax
rates, budget receipts should grow even faster than national income,
although the rise in receipts certainly will nob be uniform from year
to year. Also, some tax reforms and downward tax adjustments will
be essential in future years to help maintain and strengthen the
incentives for continued economic growth. With a balance in our
finances in 1960, we can look forward to tax reduction in the reasonably
foreseeable future. In the long run, taxes should be so arranged that
in periods of prosperity some annual provision is made for debt
reduction, even though at a modest rate.
Control of expenditures.—The estimated 1960 expenditures,
while $3.9 billion less than in 1959, will still be $12.4 billion higher
than in 1955, an average increase of almost $2.5 billion a year. These
figures emphasize that if we are to succeed in keeping total expenditures under control in the coming years we must recognize certain
hard facts.
First, defense spending will remain extremely large as long as we
must maintain military readiness in an era of world trouble and unrest.
Until there is a significant and secure easing of world tensions, the

flection of the world in
which we live to stress
again the fact that modern weapons are complex and costly to develop, costly to procure, and
costly tp operate and maintain.
Second, without one single new action by the Congress to authorize
additional projects or programs, Government outlays for some of our
major activities are certain to keep on rising for several years after
1960 because of commitments made in the past. For example, commitments for urban renewal capital grants have exceeded net expenditures by about $200 million or more for each of the last 3 years.
Money to meet these commitments will be paid out in the years
immediately ahead. Similarly, continued construction of the many
water resources projects underway throughout the country will raise
expenditures for these programs in the next 2 years beyond the current
record amount.
Moreover, inescapable demands resulting from new technology and
the growth of our Nation, and new requirements resulting from the
changing nature of our society, will generate Federal expenditures in
future years. As a matter of national policy we must, for example,
make our airways measure up to the operational and safety needs of
the jet age. We must not forget that a rapidly growing population
creates virtually automatic increases in many Federal responsibilities.
Fiscal soundness and progress.—Both domestic and defense
needs require that we keep our financial house in order. This means
that we must adhere to two policies:
First, we must review all government activities as a part of the
continuing budgetary process from year to year. Changing circumstances will inevitably offer opportunities for economies in a variety
of existing Federal programs. If we do not make such reviews and
act forthrightly on their findings, the combination of old commitments
and new authorizations for new or enlarged Federal responsibilities
could swell expenditures unnecessarily and inconsistently. Consonant with this policy of review, reductions have been recommended

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
in this budget for 1960 appropriations which will affect expenditures
not only in that year but also in later years. Furthermore, this
budget contains proposals to modify certain activities and institute
certain charges for special services. These recommendations are
practicable and sound. They should be enacted.
Second, we must examine new programs and proposals with a critical
eye. Desirability alone is not a sound criterion for adding to Federal
responsibilities. The impact today and tomorrow on the entire
Nation must be carefully assessed.
Our economy will continue to grow vigorously. This growth will
produce additional Federal revenues, but it will not produce them
without limit. We cannot take our resources for granted and we
cannot spend them indiscriminately. We must deal with new conditions as they arise. We must choose what the Federal Government
will do and how it will do it. If the choice is responsibly made,
reductions obtained through economies and the rising revenues accompanying economic growth will produce surpluses which can be
used to lessen the burden of taxes, meet the cost of essential new
Government services, and reduce the public debt. The proposals in this
budget have been formulated with these long-run objectives in mind.
BUDGET TOTALS
Budget expenditures are proposed to be held to $77 billion in fiscal
1960, which is $3.9 billion less than the estimated 1959 level of $80.9
billion.

It also assumes that certain programs can be made self-financing by

Financing of the $12.9 billion budget deficit for the current fiscal
year will increase the public debt to $285 billion by June 30, 1959,
$2 billion in excess of the present permanent debt limit. With a
balanced budget in 1960, a $285 billion debt is indicated also for
June 30, 1960. On the basis of these estimates, it will be necessary
to renew the request made duiing the past session of Congress for a
permanent debt ceiling of $285 billion and, further, to seek an increase
in the temporary debt ceiling sufficient to cover heavy borrowing
requirements during the first half of the fiscal year 1960, borrowings
which would be repaid before June 30, 1960.
The new authority to incur obligations recommended for fiscal 1960
is $76.8 billion, which is slightly less than the estimates for expenditures and for receipts. Further reductions in new obligational
authority can be attained in 1961 by the Congress enacting my recommendations for program modifications,

A consolidation of budget and trust fund transactions on a cash basis
shows that the total Federal receipts from the public in fiscal 1960 are
expected to exceed payments to the public by $0.6 billion. This
figure exceeds the budget surplus in 1960 mainly because (1) cash
payments of interest on redeemed savings bonds are less than the
accrued interest included in budget expenditures and (2) trust fund
receipts exceed trust fund expenditures.

Extension of present tax rates.—The budget outlook for 1960
makes it essential to extend present tax rates on corporation profits
and certain excise taxes another year beyond their present expiration
date of June 30, 1959.

progress was made last year in removing unintended benefits and

Specific proposals for corrective amendments of the laws on taxation
of cooperatives will be transmitted to the Congress shortly. The
Treasury will also recommend an amendment specifying the treatment
processes which shall be considered mining for the purpose of computing percentage depletion in the case of mineral products. This
amendment, prompted by court decisions, is designed to prevent an
unintended extension of percentage depletion allowances to the sales
price of finished products; a similar recommendation with respect to
cement and clay products was made to the Congress last year.
Other changes in tax rates.—In order to make highway-related
taxes support our vast highway expenditures, excises on motor fuels
need to be increased 1% cents a gallon to 4% cents. These receipts
will go into the highway trust fund and preserve the pay-as-we-go
principle, so that contributions from general tax funds to build
Federal-aid highways will not be necessary.
At the same time, to help defray the rising costs of operating the
Federal airways, receipts from excises on aviation gasoline should be
retained in general budget receipts rather than transferred to the
highway trust fund. The estimates of budget and trust fund receipts
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
from excise taxes reflect such proposed action. They also include a
proposal to have users of the Federal airways pay a greater share of
costs through increased rates on aviation gasoline and a new tax on
jet fuels. These taxes, like the highway gasoline tax, should be 4%
cents per gallon. I believe it fair and sound that such taxes be
reflected in the rates of transportation paid by the passengers and
shippers.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
MAJOR PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATIONS
Eleven key features of the budget recommendations are summarized
below:
1. Strengthen the effectiveness of our Armed Forces by further modernization and by improved efficiency of operations;
and strengthen free world security by continued military
assistance to our allies.—This budget assures that essential defense
needs are met. The budget recommendations will bolster the defense
of our country against possible attack and enable our forces to respond
more quickly and vigorously to any emergency. At the same time,
and as part of our effort to keep America strong, this budget reflects
policies to streamline operations, to remove duplication of weapons,
to accentuate the principle and practice of unification, and to minimize
maintenance costs—in short, to assure the maximum defense from
each dollar expended. A realignment of the Armed Forces and a
continuing reappraisal of existing defense activities are underway to
accomplish these objectives. This can be illustrated by the changes
in the composition of expenditures for the Department of Defense.
While the estimated total expenditures for the Department will increase $145 million from 1959 to 1960, those for procurement of missiles
and for research, development, test, and evaluation will rise more than
$800 million.
In addition to strengthening our own Armed Forces, and recognizing
the inseparability of free world defense, the budget continues to provide
through military assistance the critical margin of weapons and equipment required by our allies who, with us, forge a strong shield against
possible aggressors.
2. Assist free nations in their economic development through
well-considered programs.—Today the less-developed nations—a
score of which have attained independence since World War II—are
struggling to improve their economic and social conditions. The
success of these efforts is vital not only to the freedom and well-being
of the millions of people within their boundaries but also to the population of the entire world. Fortunately, the free countries of the world
are taking many actions together to promote trade with and to expand
investment in such nations. As part of this joint effort, the following
actions for the United States are recommended:
(a) Increase substantially our subscriptions to the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International
Monetary Fund. This should be done promptly.
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
(6) Bring the capitalization of our Development
Loan Fund up to the
amount originally recommended for the fiscal year
1959 by enacting a supplemental amount of $225
million.
(<c) As a supplement to
established institutions,
create a joint development
banking institution with
our Latin American
neighbors.
(id) Increase the emphasis on economic development in the mutual security programs through
such measures as the appropriation of $700 million
for the Development Loan
Fund and $211 million for
technical cooperation in
fiscal 1960.
(e) Enact legislation to
expand the mutual security investment guaranty
program.

for scientific development have reached record amounts and a supplemental appropriation for 1959 to advance space technology is recommended.
For the fiscal year 1960, research and development expenditures will
be increased still further, with emphasis on space exploration, peaceful uses of atomic energy, and basic science. Extensive space exploration investigations are being initiated, utilizing satellites and probes.
Development work is going forward on high-energy fuel rockets, a
million-pound thrust engine, and a nuclear rocket engine.

are not fully comparable because of changes in appropriation structure; they also
exclude about $2 billion of procurement funds in each year in support of research
and development.
4. Carry forward current public works programs—now larger
than ever before.—Increases were provided last year in construction
programs for water resources, health facilities, public buildings, airways, and highways, partly to combat the recession. As a result,
Federal expenditures for civil public works in fiscal 1960 will be the
highest in history. It therefore seems both possible and prudent to
take a breathing spell in the initiation of new projects. Accordingly, no
additional funds are proposed in 1960 for starting new water resources
projects, general office buildings, and veterans hospitals. Furthermore, reduced new spending authority is recommended for grants
for local public and private hospitals, health research facilities, and
for waste treatment works, although expenditures under earlier
authorizations will continue to be high. Highway expenditures will
increase in accordance with the program planned under the Federal
Aid Highway Act, and modernization of airway facilities to meet
operational and safety needs will go forward at a higher level of
expenditure.
The combined outlay for reclamation, flood control, and navigation
projects is estimated to be higher than ever before in 1960. Expenditures are expected to increase again in fiscal 1961 and to hold at that
level in 1962 even without new starts beyond those for which initial
appropriations have already been made. The new water resources
projects authorized for starting in 1959 will be so spread out as to
schedule initiation late in the year, wherever practicable, and, in a
few cases, construction may be deferred until the fiscal year 1960.

5. Continue at a high level programs which promote the general welfare of our people.—This budget makes provision for programs which are of utmost importance to our individual citizens.
Expenditures for health research and for constructing various types
of health facilities will be at a record level in 1960. Activities to improve education, especially in science and mathematics, will be increased significantly in 1960 as a result of programs started or expanded in fiscal 1959. Grants to States for vocational rehabilitation
will be higher in 1960 than in 1959, with services provided to 314,000
disabled persons. Public assistance grants to the aged, the blind, the
disabled, and to dependent children will continue to rise. Strengthened
programs in the Food and Drug Administration are recommended.
Proposals will be made for widening the coverage of unemployment
compensation, for extending and improving the minimum wage and
8-hour laws, and for providing added protection in labor-management
relations. I am again proposing legislation to strengthen safeguards
on the conduct of labor union affairs, including the strengthening of
the law enacted last year requiring public reporting on union welfare
and pension plans.
In the housing field, the budget recommends broadening the
authority of the Federal Housing Administration and removing the
ceiling on the total volume of mortgage insurance it can provide.
Legislation is also recommended authorizing capital grants for urban
renewal projects for a 6-year period. Annual contributions to local
housing authorities for low-rent public housing projects will rise in 1960
as more projects are completed. Commitments by the Federal National Mortgage Association to purchase mortgages on housing for

urban renewal areas for relocating displaced families and for the

6. Foster community development with increased local participation.—The Federal Government is helping local communities
meet many of the major problems of community development created
by increasing population and growing urbanization. Federal expenditures for grants and long-term loans to assist 14 major types of capital
improvements alone will reach an estimated $2.1 billion in 1960, or
almost double the amount actually spent for these programs in 1958.

MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
By the close of fiscal 1960, commitments for future Federal expenditures for the same programs are estimated to be over $6 billion.
These totals show how rapidly direct Federal aid to communities
is growing. They exclude many other Federal programs which
indirectly assist development or redevelopment of communities, such
as construction of river and harbor improvements and air navigation
facilities, grants for intercity highways, purchases of general housing
mortgages and guaranties of housing and business loans of many
types. They also exclude Federal aid to communities for nonconstruction programs in such fields as health and welfare.
Federal programs should foster orderly development in a way that
will encourage private participation and will share costs equitably
among the beneficiaries and the various levels of government. Legislation will be proposed to meet these objectives in the programs for
urban renewal, college housing, highways, airports, schools in federally
affected areas, and construction of waste treatment facilities. The
budget also provides for a new program to assist industrial redevelopment of areas which have severe and persistent unemployment. The
Congress is urged to enact legislation for such assistance along the
line I have recommended previously.
7. Discontinue
temporary emergency
measures and
strengthen permanent programs for economic stability.—
Among the governmental actions taken last year under the stress of
the recession were two temporary measures involving substantial
Federal expenditures.
Funds were advanced to the States and Territories to finance extended unemployment benefits for workers who had exhausted their
regular benefits. Only 17 jurisdictions chose to receive these advances
for all workers who could be made eligible. Five other States enacted
their own legislation extending the period of benefits for those covered
under the regular State program. Of the remaining States and
Territories, some obtained Federal aid for extended unemployment
benefits for veterans and Federal employees alone, while 17 had no
extended benefit legislation of their own and did not take advantage
of the Federal program at all. In view of the rapidity of the economic
recovery and the lack of uniformity of State participation, it is now
estimated that expenditures over the life of this program will be
$206 million less than the $666 million appropriated for it.
Another temporary measure was the authorization for Government
purchases of $1 billion of mortgages on low-cost housing. This full
amount has been committed. By the end of fiscal 1959, it is estimated
that the Government will have spent over $600 million for such
mortgages and will have over $300 million of commitments still
outstanding, for which expenditures will occur in 1960.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Direct emergency Federal expenditures for unemployment benefits
and for emergency stimulation of home construction are unnecessary
on a continuing basis. It is better to strengthen our essential continuing programs for economic growth and stability, and this budget
so contemplates.
8. Continue the adjustments needed for a freer agricultural
economy with less reliance on the Federal Treasury.—The
agricultural sector of our economy is in the paradoxical situation of
having more efficient farms than ever before and yet of being more
dependent upon Federal financial aid. During the current fiscal
year, budget expenditures for agriculture and agricultural resources
are expected to reach a peak of $6.8 billion. For the coming year,
they are estimated to decline to about $6 billion, mainly as a result
of the termination of the acreage reserve of the soil bank.
About three-quarters of these expenditures are for price supports
and other programs to stabilize farm prices and income. Other expenditures for agriculture consist primarily of payments for conservation; loans for rural electrification, telephones, and farm ownership
and operation; and research and extension activities.
Last year, the Congress enacted some changes in price-support laws,
but additional amendments are necessary to help our agricultural
economy adjust to the continuing revolution in farming technology.
Changes are also needed in other agricultural programs. Legislative
proposals will be transmitted later which should help our agricultural
economy gradually free itself from so much Government support
and control.
9. Reduce the burden on the general public for services to
special groups.—Certain Government activities confer measurable
special benefits on identifiable groups or individuals beyond the
benefits to the general public. The cost of Federal services which
convey special benefits should be recovered through charges paid by
the beneficiaries rather than through taxes on the general public.
In furtherance of this principle, the recent Congress approved some
adjustments in postal rates, and increased the fees for a few other
relatively smaller services. On the other hand, it increased postal
employees' pay and highway construction grants without providing
the additional charges needed to finance such expenditures. As a
result of these and other developments, further legislation is necessary
to put the postal service on a self-supporting basis and to finance
highway construction without drawing on the general revenues.
This budget recommends legislation to make the activities listed
in the following table more nearly self-supporting.

10. Encourage private lending through flexible interest rates
for Government credit programs.—In a number of important
cases, present legislation on programs for making loans, purchasing
mortgages, and insuring or guaranteeing private loans sets inflexible
and uneconomic restrictions on interest rates. This creates unneeded
and hidden subsidies and requires excessive use of Federal funds by
discouraging private lending.
To correct this situation, I recommend that for interest rates on
new loans and commitments:
(a) The 4%% ceiling on loans guaranteed by the Veterans Administration be replaced by a maximum rate not in excess of the rate for
mortgages on sales housing insured by the Federal Housing Administration. This change will also have the effect of revising the interest
rate ceiling on direct housing loans of the Veterans Administration.
(ib) The ceilings of 4%% and 5% for rental (including armed services) and for cooperative housing mortgages insured by the Federal
Housing Administration be increased to levels adequate to assure
private financing.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
(ic) The present statutory interest rate of 2% for loans made by
the Rural Electrification Administration be replaced by a rate which
will cover the current cost to the Treasury of equivalent-term borrowing and other reasonable costs.
(d) The statutory standard for college housing loans made by the
Housing and Home Finance Agency (the rate at present is 2%%) be
amended to authorize a rate which will cover the current cost to the
Treasury of equivalent-term borrowing and other reasonable costs.
(e) The 3%% ceiling on ship mortgage loans by the Maritime
Administration be replaced by authority to charge the full costs of
the loans.
Such actions by the Congress will encourage the participation of
private capital, and, in the long run, will reduce Government expenditures significantly. At the same time, Government guaranties or
insurance will continue to permit interest costs to borrowers more
favorable than the rates charged in the open market for similar loans.
11. Achieve long-run economies by adapting programs to
changed circumstances.—Changing conditions in recent decades
have resulted in the enactment of hundreds of laws and the creation
of vast new programs administered by new or enlarged agencies.
In this same period, few Government programs or operations have
been discontinued or reduced. Furthermore, in many cases, worthwhile objectives have been pursued with outmoded activities or
methods and with accompanying excessive costs to taxpayers. This
is a wasteful and inefficient way to conduct public business.
It is proposed in this budget that we start anew to amend the basic
legislation for a number of Government programs and operations in
order to adapt them to present circumstances and assure that they
accomplish their objectives more effectively and with less cost.
IMPROVE CONTROL OVER THE
BUDGET
Actions can and should be taken to achieve more effective control
over the budget by improving present practices and procedures, especially those related to the consideration of budgetary requests.
Consider full fiscal situation.—The procedure used by the Congress for the review of fiscal matters is one which only the Congress
itself can determine. Nevertheless, I believe that achievement of any
overall fiscal objective is handicapped by the absence of arrangements
under which the Congress can look at the fiscal situation as a whole.
Such an arrangement was contemplated under a procedure established
in the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, but apparently did
not prove satisfactory to the Congress. Over the years since that
arrangement fell into disuse, the executive branch has made consider-
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
able progress in achieving a more comprehensive consolidated executive budget which sets forth a financial plan, including the effect of
proposed legislation. I sincerely hope that the Congress will again
consider ways by which it can more effectively overcome the diffused
consideration which results from separate appropriation bills, the provision of new obligational authority outside of the appropriations
process, and the separate deliberations on revenue bills and the debt
limit.
Item veto.—The item veto is another important and needed
reform, regardless of whether appropriations are made in a number
of bills or in a consolidated bill. In either case, the necessity of
accepting or rejecting a bill in its entirety prevents the President
from considering separable provisions on their own merits. Congress
has recognized the value of an item veto by granting it to governors
of our territories and insular possessions. Most States have adopted
this device. Presidents of both parties, starting as far back as
Ulysses S. Grant, have recommended an item veto. Legislation
granting an item veto to the President should apply to legislative
measures authorizing expenditures as well as to appropriation bills,
and should include authority to reduce the amount of an appropriation
as well as to strike out an item. The use of such a veto by a President
would not remove the final authority of the Congress, which would
still retain its constitutional power to override any specific veto.
Public enterprises.—The appropriation and fund structure of the
Government needs a new review and some overhaul. For example,
major lending programs and other business-type activities are now
financed through revolving funds, which enable their expenditures
and applicable receipts to be more easily related to each other and thus
improve their operating flexibility. However, there are several notable exceptions—among them the Rural Electrification Administration, Farmers' Home Administration, and the power marketing
agencies of the Department of the Interior. Legislation will be
proposed to permit these enterprises to be budgeted through revolving
funds. The possibility of converting still more business-type activities to a revolving fund basis will continue to be studied, with a view
to making recommendations to the Congress.
More adequate control over the financial affairs of the Government
could be achieved if all Government corporations which possess authority to draw money from the Treasury or to commit the Treasury for
future expenditures were brought under the budget provisions of the
Government Corporation Control Act. As in past years, legislation
to accomplish this purpose will be again submitted to the Congress.
I urge that it be enacted.
Legislation will also be proposed to incorporate the Alaska Railroad
to facilitate its operations on a business-like basis.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Accrued expenditures and other controls.—In accordance with
Hoover Commission recommendations, legislation was enacted last
year to enable the Congress to exercise more direct control over the
level of Government spending through limitations on accrued expenditures. As an initial step, this budget proposes such limitations for
six appropriations. The beginning that can thus be made in improved
congressional control should be extended as rapidly as experience
warrants.
This budget extends the cost-based budgeting procedures which
are necessary to get a proper measure of financial performance for
many of the various agencies and programs. Further extensions will
be made as agency accounting systems are made adequate to support
them.
Continuing improvements.—Efforts to improve financial management practices need to be continued. Considerable progress has
already been made by the executive agencies under the leadership of
the joint accounting program which is sponsored by the Bureau of the
Budget, the Treasury Department, and the General Accounting Office.
But there remain a number of unsatisfactory situations, unimportant
in earlier years of smaller budgets, that are now worthy of attention.
In the past, a number of appropriation items have been placed 011
a permanent basis and, in some of these cases, the major result achieved
lias been weaker control over the expenditures concerned. In addition, even though there are a few justifiable exceptions, the practice
of providing authorizations to expend from debt receipts and contract
authority outside the appropriation process is generally inconsistent
with sound standards of budget practice.
Other inconsistencies occur in the system for making financial
authority available to Government agencies. Some guaranty programs are fully funded by specific grants of obligational authority,
some are partially funded, and others have an open-end call upon
the Treasury. Some collections of funds now credited to miscellaneous receipts might be more properly credited against the related
expenditures deliberately incurred to generate the receipts. Criteria
for the use of revolving funds and trust funds have not been consistently applied.
Another problem in budgetary control has developed over the use
of foreign currencies. In view of the volume of currencies generated
by transactions under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 and the numerous competing demands for their use
for supplementary United States programs, more adequate procedures
parallel to those governing dollar obligations are necessary. The
action required by the Congress to authorize the use of certain of these
currencies, for which a supplemental request will be transmitted for
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
fiscal 1960, now relates to only a small portion of the currencies which
will actually be used for Government programs.
The Director of the Bureau of the Budget is undertaking studies
of the various weaknesses and inconsistencies mentioned herein to
determine the most appropriate courses of action. Corrective recommendations will be made to the Congress as needed.

SECURITY
The changes in emphasis in the four major national security programs for the fiscal year 1960 reflect the growing armed strength of
the United States and its allies and the continuing modernization of
defense methods. The Department of Defense will significantly
increase expenditures for procurement of missiles and for development
and evaluation of new weapons, while reducing expenditures for other
procurement and for construction. The Atomic Energy Commission
is advancing all phases of its programs, particularly research in the
peaceful uses of atomic energy. Our allies' progress in equipping
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
their armed forces and the deliveries under military assistance in 1959
and prior years permit a reduction in military assistance expenditures.
Expenditures for stockpiling and expansion of defense production will
be reduced because basic stockpiling objectives for most materials
are now fulfilled and because many defense production expansion contracts have already been completed.
Total expenditures for major national security programs in fiscal
1960 are estimated to be $45.8 billion.

MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
Department of Defense—Military Functions.—The defense
program for 1960 calls for new appropriations of $40,850 million.
This is $288 million less than the appropriations estimated for 1959.
However, approximately $0.7 billion of the funds appropriated by the
Congress for 1959 in excess of the amounts recommended will be
added to the 1960 program.
Expenditures in 1960 are estimated at $40,945 million, which is
$145 million more than in 1959 and about $1.9 billion more than the
amount spent in 1958—continuing the upward trend which began in
1956. Over the 5-year period from 1955 to 1960, annual expenditures
for defense will have increased by over $5.4 billion.
Recent developments.—In the 1959 budget message I recommended
a substantial acceleration of our defense effort in selected areas to
enable our military strategy, techniques, and organization to keep
pace with the rapid strides in science and technology.
During the last year we have made substantial progress in accelerating or starting key programs. The Atlas intercontinental ballistic
missile has successfully completed a full-range test and the first
operational Atlas missiles will be at launching sites by the end of the
current fiscal year. Additional missiles will be put in place in 1960.
The first units of the intermediate range missile Thor have already
been deployed to the United Kingdom and additional units of both
Thor and Jupiter will be deployed during the next 18 months. Construction is already well along on the first five submarines which will
be equipped to fire the Polaris solid fuel ballistic missile and the
first such submarine will go into operation in the calendar year 1960.
Construction of the sixth Polaris submarine has begun and three more
are authorized and will be started in fiscal 1960. Coming along at a
rapid rate is the Titan, an advanced liquid fuel intercontinental ballistic missile. Development work is progressing rapidly on a "second
generation" solid fuel intercontinental ballistic missile, the Minuteman.
For air defense, the Nike-Hercules, which is capable of being armed
with a nuclear warhead, is replacing the Nik^-Ajax. The Bomarc
ground-to-air missile, capable of destroying attacking aircraft at
extended ranges, will, when operational, augment manned interceptor
planes. To meet the threat of attack by ballistic missiles, the NikeZeus missile is being developed at an accelerated pace and construction is underway on a new ballistic missile early warning system.
A dispersal program for our strategic bomber force and its supporting
tankers is nearing completion. To improve the effectiveness of the
B-52 intercontinental bombers, the production of the Hound Dog
air-to-ground missile has been accelerated.
Important scientific data have been obtained from the satellites and
lunar probes launched to date. The recent successful use of the
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Atlas as a satellite clearly demonstrated the potential usefulness of
satellites in the field of communications. The Department of Defense
will continue to investigate satellite applications of specific military
interest. Its space programs will be closely coordinated with those of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The time has come to consolidate our position in key areas of
defense affected by recent advances in missiles. Sufficient progress
has been made on new weapons systems to permit us safely to eliminate
marginal systems and to reduce the number of competitive projects.
The solid fuel Pershing and Sergeant missiles will replace the liquid
fuel Redstone and Corporal. Production of the Regulus II (a shipbased aerodynamic intermediate range missile) has been terminated,
and the Rascal air-to-ground missile program has been canceled.
Because of a change in tactical concepts, the decoy missile Goose
has been eliminated. The Seamaster jet powered seaplane project
will be stopped. Other weapon systems of lesser importance have
also been eliminated. No more appropriations are planned for the
Jupiter and Thor intermediate range ballistic missiles after 1960,
unless units in addition to those already being provided to our allies
through the military assistance program should later be agreed upon.
Thus, by concentrating our efforts on the more advanced and more
promising weapons systems, we can increase substantially the combat
capabilities of our military forces with a relatively small increase in
the overall cost of defense.
Reorganization of the Department of Defense.—The Department of
Defense Reorganization Act of 1958, approved on August 6, 1958, is
being put into effect.
A streamlined chain of command is being established running
directly from the Secretary of Defense through the Joint Chiefs of
Staff to unified and specified commands which have been given full
operational control of the forces assigned to their commands. The
organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been strengthened to
provide the Secretary of Defense with the military advice and assistance required for effective planning and direction. The committee
system of the Joint Staff has been replaced by seven new directorates,
including one for operations. Appropriate instructions have been
issued to delineate the additional responsibilities of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and to outline their relationships with other agencies of the
Department of Defense.
A director of defense research and engineering has been appointed
to assure that all scientific and technological resources of the Department of Defense are put to the best possible use. I expect the new
organization to provide more effective leadership, help to eliminate
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
duplication, and develop an integrated research and development
program.
In addition, improvements have been made in the administrative
procedures of the Department of Defense. Operating methods in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense have been improved. Nearly 200
committees have been abolished. The responsibilities and functions
of the assistant secretaries are being clarified.
The job ahead is to develop within this organizational framework
the management relationships that will improve the decision-making
process, clearly fix responsibilities, and provide to all agencies of the
Department a full understanding of the broad national requirements
that determine our military policy. The attainment of this objective
will provide the teamwork that is essential for the continued maintenance of an effective and, at the same time, economical defense
effort.
Military personnel policy.—This budget provides for a military force
of about the same overall size and composition in fiscal 1960 as that
planned for the end of the current fiscal year. This force, however,
will have significantly greater combat power as new weapons continue
to be added to inventories.
The number of active duty military personnel during 1960 will
continue at the level planned for the end of the current fiscal year
except for a small reduction in the Air Force. Since the end of the
Korean conflict, we have followed the policy of reducing numbers of
military personnel as more powerful weapons become available to our
forces. However, it has become increasingly apparent that the Communist bloc is following a policy of deliberately and constantly probing
free world positions to test our determination to resist the further
forcible expansion of Communist influence. Under these circumstances, it is prudent not to plan for any significant changes during
fiscal 1960 in our deployments overseas or in our ready military
forces at home.
A major effort has been made during the last few years to enhance
the attractiveness of military service as a career. The most recent
action along this line has been the enactment of military pay adjustments and adoption of recommendations of the Advisory Committee
on Professional and Technical Compensation. Although these and
earlier measures increase the average cost per man, they have had
highly beneficial effects in all the services. The quality of inductees
and enlistees has improved. The first term reenlistment rate has
increased and the experience and skill levels have been raised. These
improvements point to greater stability of personnel, smaller basic
and technical training loads, and, over the longer run, may permit
some further reductions in military personnel.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
The objective of our defense effort today is the same as it has been
in the past—to deter wars, large or small. To achieve this objective
we must have a well rounded military force, under unified direction
and control, properly equipped and trained, and ready to respond to
any type of military operations that may be forced upon us. We
have such a force now, and under this budget we will continue to
have such a force.
Strategic forces,—A principal element of our deterrent power is the
Strategic Air Command. The 43 wings of this Command are maintained at a high state of readiness and can react quickly and effectively
to meet any major threat to our national security. This Command
will be further strengthened during fiscal 1960 by additional deliveries
of the improved B-52 intercontinental jet bomber and by the first
deliveries of the new supersonic B-58 medium jet bomber together
with additional KC-135 jet tankers. In addition, a new and important weapon will be provided by the introduction of Atlas missiles.
Our deterrent forces are complemented by the tactical units of the
Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force and the mobile carrier task forces
of the Navy, all with striking potential of great magnitude. The
submarines designed to launch the Polaris missile will add significantly
to our deterrent strength as they come into the fleet.
Air defense forces— The North American air defense system is
well established and is being improved constantly. Our forward
warning line, which we operate jointly with Canada, stretches from
the mid-Pacific around the northern edge of the continent and across
the Atlantic approaches. Behind this line we have an extensive
surveillance, tracking, and communications network. Elements of
the structure are being tied together for operation by the semiautomatic ground environment (SAGE) system.
All the services contribute military elements to the unified command responsible for maintaining our air defense capability. The
Air Force provides warning and control and the longer range weapons
systems. The Army provides the shorter range weapons and over 70
Nike-Ajax and Nike-Hercules ground-to-air missile battalions will be
in operation by the end of fiscal 1960. The Navy provides sea and
air based radar which extend the early warning systems. National
Guard units of many States participate in air defense. In addition,
other regular and reserve forces of all the services stand ready in the
event of need.
These forces, together with Canada's Air Defense Command, comprise the North American Defense Command and provide an air defense shield of growing effectiveness for the entire continent.
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
Sea control forces.—Historically, the Navy has been assigned the
primary mission of controlling sealanes. In the conduct of amphibious warfare and antisubmarine campaigns, it is equipped to support
the commands responsible for actions ranging from localized emergencies to large-scale military operations. It is ready to conduct prompt
and sustained combat anywhere in the world at sea or adjacent to the
sea, and is able to exploit the mobility, surprise, and concealment
afforded by the world's free oceans.
The naval forces will operate 864 ships, including 389 warships, in
1960. The carrier task forces will be strengthened with new Forrestalclass carriers and higher performance aircraft possessing both conventional and atomic firepower. The cruiser, destroyer, and frigate
forces are steadily acquiring a guided missile capability.
Special programs, including research and scientific studies, are
underway to enhance our antisubmarine capabilities. Task forces of
specially equipped ships and planes specifically designed for antisubmarine warfare are being employed.
Tactical forces.—The tactical elements of the ground, naval, and
air forces combine to deal with situations short of general war or to
carry out essential tasks in event of general war. These forces
include 14 Army divisions organized along pentomic lines and able
to deliver both nuclear and high explosive firepower. Many of these
divisions are deployed overseas and are evidence of this Nation's
determination to participate actively in the collective defense of the
free world.
The Army divisions are supported by the tactical air wings of the
Air Force, approximately half of which are deployed overseas. Other
important elements of our tactical forces are the 3 divisions and 3
air wings of the Marine Corps. In areas adjacent to the seas these
forces can also be supported by carrier-based aircraft.
Both the Army and Marine Corps divisions are backed up by a
variety of support units organized to provide both nuclear and nonnuclear military power. Air and sea transportation for these forces
are provided by the Air Force and the Navy.
The readiness of our tactical forces to respond to potential aggression
was well demonstrated during the Lebanon and Quemoy crises.
Appropriation structure.—In my message to the Congress last year
transmitting recommendations relative to our entire defense establishment, I pointed out the need for the Secretary of Defense to have
adequate authority and flexibility to discharge his heavy responsibilities. One of the areas requiring attention is the pattern under
which funds are appropriated.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
This budget proposes a rearrangement of appropriations for the
Department of Defense in terms of major purposes rather than of
organization units. These broad categories are: (1) military personnel; (2) operation and maintenance; (3) procurement; (4) military
construction; and (5) research, development, test, and evaluation.
This rearrangement will permit consideration of the Department of
Defense budget on a more uniform and more clearly understandable
basis.
Operating costs.—The annual operating costs of the Department of
Defense for active and reserve military personnel, for retired pay, and
for operation and maintenance are approximately the same in 1960 as
in 1959. They are estimated at about $22.3 billion in 1960, not taking
into account credits of $0.4 billion in revolving funds. Savings from a
somewhat lower average number of military personnel and somewhat
smaller inventories of aircraft and ships to be supported in 1960 are
offset by higher unit costs.
The average cost per man in uniform will be somewhat higher
because of (1) required increases in the Government's social security
contributions as employer, (2) additional longevity pay reflecting the
larger proportion of career personnel, and (3) the proficiency pay provisions of the new military pay law.
The average cost of operating and maintaining each weapon and
unit of equipment will be higher because they are more complex.
Other elements of increased cost are the additional SAGE centers
which will be operational in 1960, the increased cost of medical care
for dependents of military personnel, and the larger number of family
housing units which will have to be supported by the Department in
1960.
For the past 5 years, the Department of Defense has pursued a
vigorous program to provide adequate housing for military personnel
and their families, both within the continental United States and
overseas. This program has met with significant success and sufficient numbers of units have been built or are under construction to
satisfy a major part of the military requirements. With the recommended extension of the armed services mortgage insurance program
for another year and with a more adequate interest ceiling, private
enterprise and local community support should be able to meet most
of the remaining requirements for military housing in the continental
United States. Some new Government-operated housing will still be
required, however, for new installations and certain existing installations in the United States and overseas.
Procurement, research, and construction.—Expenditures for procurement, research, development, test, and evaluation, and military
construction are estimated at $19 billion for 1960. There is an in-
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
crease over 1959 in the combined expenditures for procurement and
for research, development, test, and evaluation and a decrease in
expenditures for military construction. Missile systems in 1960 will
take a larger share of total procurement expenditures and aircraft
will take less. Ships and other weapons and equipment will take
about the same amount as in 1959.
This budget will provide for the procurement of a total of 1,610
aircraft, including jet bombers and jet tankers, land based and ship
based fighters, ship based attack aircraft, trainers, helicopters, and
transports. Funds are also provided for the continuation of the
development of the B-70, a new high altitude supersonic intercontinental bomber, and of a new high speed interceptor.
Work will also continue, at about the same level as in 1959, on the
development of a nuclear powerplant for military aircraft. Until
such a powerplant is successfully developed, and the technical problems involved in operating a nuclear-powered aircraft safely are solved,
there is no practical military value in attempting to build the airplane
itself. It is the judgment of my scientific advisers, which I approve,
that the pace of this program should continue to be geared to valid
technical considerations.
In addition to providing for the missiles discussed earlier, the budget
also includes funds for a wide variety of tactical missiles, for both the
ground and naval forces, and for additional quantities of air-to-air
missiles.
The shipbuilding program proposed for 1960 includes another
Forrestal-class carrier, the eighth of its class. In line with the Navy's
recommendation, this carrier will be conventionally powered. It is
only good sense to wait until we have more experience with the
construction of the first nuclear powered carrier authorized in the
1958 program before we start the construction of another.
The 1960 shipbuilding program also provides for 17 other new ships
and for converting 13 ships to more modern types. In addition to
the carrier, the ship construction program includes 6 guided missile
destroyers and frigates, 3 nuclear powered attack-submarines, and
8 other vessels. Nine Polaris submarines have been authorized to
date. This budget provides for the advance procurement of long
lead time components for three additional Polaris submarines. Conversions include a cruiser, 8 destroyers, and 4 other vessels. This
modernization will improve the antisubmarine warfare capabilities
and extend the useful life of World War II destroyers.
Research will be conducted on, among other things, very early
warning systems, ballistic missile defense, solid fuel chemistry, and
480000 — 59

MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
the use of military satellites and other military vehicles for navigation and communication purposes. I am also requesting $150 million
for the Department of Defense emergency fund—the same amount as
provided for 1959—to provide for the exploitation of breakthroughs or
unanticipated developments which may occur during the coming year.
Provision has been made for the essential needs of our ground forces.
Included in this budget are funds for weapons, ammunition, engineering and training equipment for the Army and Marine Corps ground
forces to enhance the combat power of the individual soldier.
Legislation for military operations.—There are a number of existing
provisions of law concerning military personnel which will require
legislative action during this session of Congress to extend the expiration dates. They include induction authorities under the Universal
Military Training and Service Act, the special enlistment program
authorized by the Armed Forces Reserve Act, the act suspending the
permanent limitation on the authorized active duty strength of the
Armed Forces, and the Dependents Assistance Act.
In the Department of Defense Appropriation Act for fiscal year
1959, the Congress enacted mandatory minimum strengths for the
reserve components of the Army, an unprecedented departure from
past policy. This action cuts deeply into the concept of flexibility
overwhelmingly endorsed by the same Congress in the Department of
Defense Reorganization Act of 1958. It is entirely inconsistent with
a policy of promptly adjusting our military forces and concepts to
rapidly changing world conditions and revolutionary advances in
science and technology. Furthermore, I consider these mandatory
provisions wasteful of resources that can be more appropriately applied
elsewhere. I strongly urge, therefore, that the Congress repeal these
mandatory provisions at an early date, and recommend that future
defense appropriations contain no similar provisions.
The Departments of the Army, Air Force, and Commerce have for
some years been operating long-line communications in Alaska. With
Alaska now a State, a communications system should be developed
which will be more responsive to the growing needs of the Alaskan
economy and people, as well as to the needs of the Government
agencies operating in that State. In my judgment, such a system
can best be developed by private enterprise. I will therefore soon
submit to the Congress proposed legislation to authorize the sale of
these Government-owned communications facilities.
For the past several years the Department of Defense Appropriation Act has contained a rider which limits competitive bidding by
firms in other countries on certain military supply items. This restriction is sharply at variance with the general law, popularly known
MlOMESSAGEOFTHE PRESIDENT
as the Buy American Act. I strongly urge that the Congress not
reenact this rider.
There are special problems involved in our present system of proficiency flying and its relationships to flight pay for personnel assigned
to flying duty. The Secretary of Defense has been requested to make a
study of these problems in the interest of improvements and economies.
Legislation on military property, construction, and procurement.—
Changes in military concepts, weapons, and training requirements
have markedly reduced or eliminated the need for some military
installations and property while creating additional requirements for
new types of facilities. Consideration should be given to legislation
to streamline procedures and legal requirements for disposing of such
obsolete facilities and real property. Such procedures would also
reduce administrative costs of managing property and place property
which is now exempt from State and local taxes on the tax rolls.
In this connection, section 601 of Public Law 155, 82d Congress,
imposes restrictions on the executive branch of the Government with
respect to certain real estate transactions of the Department of
Defense. As stated in the budget message last year, the Attorney
General has advised me that this provision of law reflects the exercise
of legislative authority not warranted by the Constitution. I again
recommend its immediate repeal.
The continued and rapid growth in the use of petroleum products has
made questionable the need for maintenance of the relatively small
naval petroleum reserves as a significant defense measure, since it
would appear that the nationwide, even worldwide, petroleum industry must be relied upon to provide efficiently for our petroleum requirements in both peace and war. Accordingly, the administration will
study (and I would hope the Congress would do likewise) the advisability of disposing of the anachronistic naval petroleum reserves,
thereby relieving the Department of the Navy of an inappropriate
responsibility and also providing additional revenue to the Federal
Government.
This budget contains recommendations for $1.6 billion additional
authorization for acquisition and construction of facilities for the
Armed Forces. The details of this program are now under study in
the Department of Defense and are subject to modifications in consonance with the program planning of the Armed Forces. The program will be held to the minimum requirements for facilities and
installations essential to the modern weapons systems being made
operational. I will submit at an early date both the additional
authorizations and the related estimates of appropriations for the
military construction programs.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Another matter which will require the attention of the Congress
during this session is the expiration of the Renegotiation Act on June
30, 1959. This is the law under which excess profits gained on certain
Government contracts and related subcontracts are recaptured by the
Government through renegotiation. I recommend that this act be
extended.
Development and control of atomic energy.—Expenditures
by the Atomic Energy Commission are expected to reach an all-time
high of $2.7 billion in fiscal 1960. This large amount reflects our
determination to maintain our position of world leadership in the field
of nuclear military armaments until such armaments are brought
under adequate international control and to promote the development
of peaceful applications of atomic energy.
In the light of our offer to suspend tests of nuclear weapons for a
1-year period starting October 31, 1958, and in view of the negotiations for further suspension, the budget does not provide for any
weapons tests in the fiscal year 1960. Under the circumstances, testing grounds in Nevada and the Pacific will be kept on a standby basis.
A satisfactory test suspension agreement, of course, is but a first
step toward reducing the grave threat of nuclear warfare. This
administration intends to explore all possible means of attaining
armament control under adequate inspection guaranties despite the
recent suspension of negotiations on means of avoiding surprise attack.
I hope that we shall succeed. Until an acceptable agreement is
reached, however, financial authorizations must be provided to continue development and production of nuclear weapons at current high
levels to meet a variety of military needs.
Programs for the development of nuclear reactors for a variety of
military propulsion and power applications will be continued at or
above the high levels already attained.
Peaceful uses of atomic energy.—At the second Conference on the
Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva during September 1958, the
United States demonstrated the range and scope of its atomic research
and development in the peaceful applications of this new energy
source.
We plan to pursue energetically the promising technical approaches
to civilian power reactors. We will emphasize efforts to reduce the
cost of the reactor fuel cycle; such a reduction is basic to the attainment of economic atomic power. This budget provides for continuation of construction and for development, modification, and operation
of a number of experimental and prototype power reactors owned by
the Government, including operation of the atomic power station at
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
Shippingport, Pa., the world's first nuclear powerplant devoted
primarily to the production of electric energy. We will also continue
substantial support of power reactor projects undertaken by groups
outside of the Atomic Energy Commission.
The Commission in exercising its responsibility for direction of the
civilian nuclear power development program will identify desirable
projects to advance that program. In carrying out these projects the
Commission will continue to work with the Nation's electric power
producers, both privately and publicly owned, and will continue to
seek cooperation from industry in order to utilize its experience and
resources. In addition, exchange of technical information with foreign countries will be expanded through participation in international
undertakings, especially the European Atomic Energy Community
(Euratom) and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Further investigations into the possible use of nuclear explosions
for such peaceful purposes as mining and earth moving, known as
Project Plowshare, will be conducted.
Legislation will be proposed in this session to carry out the recommendations of the Joint Federal-State Action Committee in the field
of atomic energy, which would recognize certain State responsibilities
for the protection of public health and safety.
The budget provides for a higher level of research in the physical
and life sciences. Three large particle accelerators in the multibillion
electron volt range will be put in operation in 1960. These new accelerators, together with two already completed, will produce valuable
new information on the basic structure of the atomic nucleus. More
advanced experimental devices will be fabricated and operated to
explore the control of thermonuclear reactions. Also, as part of the
life science program, the budget includes funds for the operation of
the new Brookhaven Medical Center, where the first nuclear reactor
designed primarily for medical research purposes is located.
Stockpiling and defense production expansion.—Most of the
objectives for the stockpile of strategic and critical materials have
been substantially reduced as a result of new studies, and most of
these reduced objectives have been met. Consequently, the need for
new procurement has been sharply decreased. At the same time
deliveries under contracts made during the Korean conflict to encourage expanded production of defense materials are declining.
Substantial reduction in the Government's purchase commitments
has also been achieved through negotiation with contractors.
For these reasons, expenditures for stockpiling and expansion of
defense production are estimated to decline from $378 million in fiscal
1959 to $265 million in 1960. However, because the present authority
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
is inadequate, legislation will be needed in 1959 to authorize an
additional $325 million to finance probable deliveries in the next 2
years under existing contracts for expanding defense production.
Mutual security program.—The mutual security program is
designed to help strengthen the defense and bolster the political and
economic stability of the free world. Through it the United States
shares in worldwide efforts to meet the Communist threat and to help
improve the standard of living of people in less developed nations.
For the fiscal year 1960, I am recommending new obligational authority of $3,930 million for the mutual security program. Expenditures are estimated to be $3,498 million, which is $383 million less than
in fiscal 1959.
The military assistance portion of the mutual security program,
which is primarily related to our military defense effort, is discussed
in this section of the message. The other portions of the mutual
security program are directed primarily toward promoting stability
and economic growth in less developed countries. They are discussed
in the International Affairs and Finance section of this message.
The accomplishments, future needs, techniques, and interrelationships of military and economic assistance need to be reassessed in the
light of continuing change in military technology and strategy and
in economic and political conditions, and with consideration of new
Communist techniques in waging the cold war. Therefore, I recently
appointed a committee of outstanding citizens, with experience in
government, the Armed Forces, and business, to appraise the military
assistance program and the relative emphasis the United States should
place on military and economic aid. Accordingly, in the present
budget, provisions for the mutual security program are subject to
whatever recommendations I may make in connection with my later
transmission to the Congress of this program.
Military assistance.—In meeting the threats of Communist military
aggression, the United States relies on two sources of strength, our
own defense forces and the forces of more than 40 free-world nations,
to many of whom we provide military assistance. Three of these,
Korea, China, and Vietnam, are divided nations facing aggressive
Communist-dominated forces across uneasy boundaries. Other recipients border on hostile Communist states, face potentially dangerous
internal Communist movements, or are defenders of the great industrial communities of the free world.
Our primary concern is to insure the free world's ability to deter
war and to retaliate against attack if deterrence fails, This we do

through our own military capability and by providing intermediate
and short-range missiles and other weapons to a number of our allies.
But the free world also faces the Communist threat of local aggression and military subversion. This danger is best met by conventional
forces of the threatened countries. If necessary, the United States
and other free-world nations would send reinforcements under the
terms of regional pacts and bilateral agreements. Our allies, through
their own efforts, are covering the bulk of the costs of operating and
maintaining their forces. The United States supplies the critical
military equipment that our partners cannot supply themselves and
assists in the training of their officers and men.
The estimate of new obligational authority for military assistance
in the fiscal year 1960 is $1,600 million. Expenditures in 1960, which
will be made primarily from obligational authority enacted in previous
years, are estimated to be $1,850 million, a reduction of $462 million
from the amount estimated for 1959,
M40
M EBB AGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Nonmilitary defense.—Closely allied to our military preparedness
are the nonmilitary civil defense and mobilization programs.
These were reorganized last year under a new Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization, for which increased appropriations are recommended for 1960. These programs are discussed with other programs
concerned with industry and community facilities in the Commerce
and Housing section of this message, under which these expenditures
are classified.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND FINANCE
The United States is directing its diplomacy and devoting a substantial share of its economic resources to maintaining world peace
and the security of free nations. In a world which still contains much
want and suffering, it is a goal of our foreign policy to promote the
economic stability and growth of less developed countries. This is
as vital to us as it is to the countries concerned in the present world
situation.
Although military danger persists, a strengthened free-world defense system enables less developed countries to concentrate much of
their effort on needed economic progress. Increased international
trade, private investment, public programs of lending, and technical assistance are essential to these efforts.
Expenditures for international affairs and finance are estimated to
be $2.1 billion in the fiscal year 1960. This amount is $1.6 billion
less than the expenditure estimate for 1959, mainly because of an additional and nonrecurring subscription of $1,375 million to the International Monetary Fund for which I am requesting authority for 1959.
Further expansion of trade was made possible when the Congress
last year extended the reciprocal trade agreements legislation for
4 years. Under the authority of this act, we will seek additional
agreements with friendly countries for mutually beneficial reductions
of trade barriers.
The greater share of investment capital and technical ability in the
United States and other highly developed countries is to be found in
private hands. Less developed countries could benefit in greater
measure from this large private reservoir by making investment more
attractive to firms from other countries. The United States on its
part invites negotiation of tax treaties designed to encourage its citizens to invest abroad. I will request legislation to expand the Mutual
Security investment guaranty program, which offers guaranties to
American private investors against losses on foreign investment that

Development of $3,175 million and to the International Monetary Fund of
$1,375 million.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
are caused by inconvertibility of currencies, expropriation, or war.
The Export-Import Bank is actively seeking more private participation in its loans and is selling part of its portfolio to private investors,
with the expectation of financing all of its operations in fiscal 1960
from receipts. The United States subscription to the capital of the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development helps that
agency in channeling private capital into public loans to less developed
countries.
In addition, studies are being conducted by the Department of State
and the Business Advisory Council of the Department of Commerce
on ways to increase the role of private investment, management, and
technical training abroad.
Internationalfinancialorganizations.—To assist in economic development and in the sound expansion of trade, the United States participates with other countries in international financial organizations
and also makes loans and grants directly to other nations. The
multilateral and bilateral approaches complement each other and
both are essential to the achievement of our objectives.
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development extends loans for capital investment, and the International Monetary
Fund promotes sound foreign exchange policies and encourages trade
by assisting countries to overcome short-term foreign exchange problems. Both institutions have proved their worth as instruments of
international financial cooperation. However, they cannot continue
with the same effectiveness unless their present resources are supplemented. The executive directors of each institution have recommended an increase in member country subscriptions of 100% for
the Bank and 50% for the Fund. I request that the Congress
promptly approve the United States share of these recommended
increases. Early approval will assure the other member countries
that the increase in capitalization can be achieved quickly, and thus
encourage prompt action by them.
For the additional United States quota in the International Monetary Fund, this budget includes $1,375 million as supplemental new
obligational authority and as estimated expenditures in 1959. Of this
amount, $344 million is to be paid in gold and the balance of $1,031
million is to be paid in the form of non-interest-bearing Treasury
notes. The anticipated subscription to the International Bank of
$3,175 million in the fiscal year 1959 is included in the budget as new
obligational authority but not as an expenditure because it will be in
the nature of a guaranty fund. On the strength of guaranties from
all its members, the Bank is able to sell its bonds to private investors.
We are now negotiating with our Latin American neighbors concerning the establishment of an inter-American development banking
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
institution which would facilitate the flow of public and private
capital to economic development projects in this hemisphere and
would supplement existing lending arrangements. This negotiation
may result in a later request for legislation permitting United States
participation in such an institution.
The administration is also currently studying the feasibility of
establishing an international development association which would be
affiliated with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and would make loans repayable wholly or partially in the
borrower's currency.
Development Loan Fund.—In 1957, the United States established
the Development Loan Fund to provide capital on terms more
favorable than are normally available from other sources, including
repayment in foreign currencies. The Development Loan Fund
finances both public and private projects that clearly contribute to
the basic development of a country but do not qualify for private
loans or for financing by the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development or the Export-Import Bank.
The Development Loan Fund is now making loans in substantial
numbers, and will have an increasing impact in assisting less developed
economies. The Fund will have committed virtually its entire capital
by the end of this month. Because of the vital importance to our
foreign economic objectives of continuing this type of lending, a supplemental appropriation for fiscal 1959 of $225 million is recommended.
This amount has already been authorized but not appropriated by
the Congress. New obligational authority of $700 million is requested
for fiscal 1960.
Defense support.—Many of our allies among the less developed
countries maintain large military forces required for the common
defense despite the added strain placed on their national economies
by the continuing cost of these forces. To help prevent the living
conditions and political stability of these countries from deteriorating
because of the economic burden of their military forces, the United
States provides economic aid through appropriations for defense support. This aid takes the form of food, textiles and other consumer
goods, machinery, and raw materials. For fiscal 1960, new obligational
authority of $835 million is requested for defense support.
Technical cooperation.—Through technical cooperation under the
mutual security program the United States assists less developed
countries to acquire technical, administrative, and managerial skills.
This improvement of skills must go hand in hand with the financial
and material resources made available for development. For 1960 an
increase of approximately $40 million in new obligational authority is
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
requested. This will enable the United States to train more foreign
technicians and provide more American experts and demonstrational
equipment, with emphasis on expanding programs in Africa. The
increase will also permit the United States to pay its share of the
expected greater contributions by member nations to the new United
Nations special fund for technical assistance projects.
Contingencies and other assistance.—The mutual security program
for 1960 includes a request for $200 million to be available for unforeseen
contingencies and emergencies that may arise. In addition, appropriations will be requested for special assistance needed for the
stability and progress of a number of countries not covered by other
categories of aid and for such programs as our contributions to
the worldwide malaria eradication program. Other special activities
covered by the mutual security program are the United States contributions to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and to
refugee programs.
Legislation will be recommended to revise requirements on eligibility
of countries for aid and thus provide the necessary additional flexibility to help nations that are resisting Soviet domination.
Conduct of foreign affairs.—The Department of State plans to open
several new diplomatic and consular posts and to increase its staff
dealing with problems of eastern Europe and international communism. Legislation will again be recommended to clarify the
authority of the Secretary of State with regard to the issuance of passports. Legislation will also be recommended to reimburse Americans
for certain property damage in Europe and the Far East during
World War II for which compensation has not previously been
authorized.
Foreign information and exchange activities.—The United States
Information Agency will continue the major rebuilding of its radio
facilities begun in fiscal 1959 to improve the reception overseas of the
Voice of America. The cultural content of our information programs
will be increased, more American books will be distributed abroad, and
greater emphasis will be given to English-language teaching.
COMMERCE AND
HOUSING
Over the past 6 years this administration has fostered major advances in the programs of the Federal Government for aviation,
highways, urban renewal, the postal service, and aid to small business.
Expenditures for all commerce and housing programs in the fiscal
year 1960 are estimated at $2.2 billion, which is $1.3 billion less than
the estimated expenditures for 1959. The estimated reduction occurs

and $3,210 million (including $715 million of anticipated supplemental authorizations) estimated for 1959.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
primarily in the Federal National Mortgage Association and the
Post Office Department. Reduced purchases of low-cost housing
mortgages and administrative steps to increase receipts will enable
the Association to finance its 1960 operations entirely from its current
collections. The proposed legislation to provide more adequate
postal rates and the absence of the large retroactive 1959 payments
for pay and transportation will sharply reduce net budget expenditures for the postal service.
Transportation and communication.—In recent years, the
Federal Government has had to take actions to meet emergency
problems which have arisen in highways, railways, and aviation.
These actions have sometimes been taken on a partial and piecemeal
basis, without full consideration of the impact on other transportation
programs. The Secretary of Commerce, at my request, is undertaking a comprehensive study of national transportation to identify
emerging problems, redefine the appropriate Federal role, and recommend any legislation or administrative actions needed to assure the
balanced development of our transportation s3^stem.
Space flight.—The National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
organized in 1958, is initiating extensive scientific investigations with
satellites and probes to increase our understanding of the earth's outer
atmosphere; the moon and the planets; the earth's gravitational,
magnetic, and electric fields; radiation from space; and other phenomena. Programs in the field of meteorology will look toward the
ultimate establishment of a worldwide system of satellite weather
observation, and in the field of communications will continue to experiment with the use of satellites to serve as relays for the intercontinental transmission of messages, voice, and television. Projects
to increase our ability to place heavy objects in space include development of high energy fuel rockets, a million-pound thrust engine, and
a nuclear rocket engine.
To promote rapid advancement of space technology, a supplemental
appropriation of $45 million is requested for 1959. Of this amount
$21 million is for accelerating development of the technology of manned
space flight and $24 million is for equipment and facilities for propulsion development and tracking. For 1960, I am requesting new
obligational authority of $485 million, an increase of $135 million
over the 1959 total; this includes the agency's aeronautical programs
as well as its outer space activities.
Aviation.—Under the new Federal Aviation Agency, traffic control activities, both civil and military, are now being combined
into a single system more capable of handling safely and efficiently
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
the increasing number of planes of varying speeds. Expenditures for
construction and operation of needed new facilities for the Federal
airways system are accelerating as programs authorized in earlier
years move from plans to performance. A newly established program
to augment civilian facilities with existing air defense radar is now in
effect and is being accelerated. At the same time, the extensive
research underway will help us to resolve the even more difficult air
traffic control problems of the future.
Legislation for Federal grants to aid local airport construction expires at the end of fiscal 1959. As I stated last year in disapproving legislation greatly expanding this program, the Federal Government should now begin an orderly withdrawal from the airport grant
program. Legislation will therefore be recommended to authorize a
transitional program of Federal grants to share the costs of basic
facilities, such as runways and control towers. One-half—instead of
three-fourths as in the expiring law—of the funds appropriated would
continue to be available to the States on the basis of the existing
apportionment formula. The other one-half would be available for
expenditure on a discretionary basis. Revenue-producing facilities,
such as terminals and hangars, should be financed locally. This program will require $65 million of new obligational authority in fiscal
1960, with somewhat smaller amounts in each of the following 3 years.
For the Federal Aviation Agency as a whole, including direct programs and airport grants, I recommend that the Congress provide new
obligational authority of $602 million in 1960. Expenditures are estimated to be $560 million, which is $94 million more than in 1959 and
almost four times the amount spent for these purposes in 1956.
Subsidy payments by the Civil Aeronautics Board to commercial
air carriers are continuing to rise, primarily because of the increasing
service to small communities. Practically all of the $63 million in
payments estimated for 1960 will go to local service carriers including helicopter operators. The loan-guaranty program administered
by the Board, by helping local service carriers to finance new equipment, should in the long run reduce the need for subsidy. Moreover,
the Board has announced its intention to suspend service at any point
where adequate traffic has not developed after a fair trial. This
"use it or lose it" policy should help to prevent permanent certification of uneconomic service.
Airway user charges.—The magnitude of the burden on the general
taxpayers for rising airway expenditures makes it essential that
users of the facilities pay a greater share of the cost. To this end,
legislation will be transmitted to raise the effective tax on aviation
gasoline from 2 cents to 4% cents in 1960 and to levy the same tax on
jet fuels, which are now tax-free. These increased costs should be
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
includible, along with other airline costs, in determining the rates
charged the ultimate users of air transportation. Receipts from
taxes on aviation gasoline should not be used for highways; they
should be retained in the general fund instead of being transferred
to the highway trust fund. These changes in revenue laws will
increase general fund receipts by an estimated $85 million in fiscal
1960 and by somewhat larger amounts in subsequent years.
Promotion of water transportation.—The national maritime policies
under which we now operate were laid down 23 years ago in the
Merchant Marine Act of 1936. It is increasingly apparent that both
the adequacy of and the need for those policies require reappraisal
by the executive branch and the Congress. Accordingly, as a part
of the general transportation study referred to earlier, the Secretary
of Commerce will review the major problems of the shipping industry. As soon as his report is available, I hope the Congress will
hold comprehensive hearings. We need new national policies and
guidelines which can become effective at the earliest possible date.
At present, the bulk of our Merchant Marine consists of ships built
during the years 1942 to 1946. Since existing law normally requires
replacement of vessels at the age of 20 years, we must establish
definitive policies on such questions as the realistic life span of merchant ships, the number of ships actually needed in our Merchant
Marine, the extent to which their construction and operation should
continue to be subsidized by the Government, and the pattern of
trade routes that should be served by subsidized ships. There should
also be an examination of present policies on such matters as foreign
flag registration and the competition of foreign shipping.
In the meantime, the 1960 budget provides for a substantial ship
construction program. New obligational authority of $129 million is
recommended for construction subsidies and related programs in 1960.
This appropriation will be used for replacing 14 needed cargo and
combination passenger and cargo ships. It is not contemplated that
any of it will be used for the passenger superliners authorized last year.
I request that the Congress reconsider its action requiring that these
superliners be built under direct Federal loans, which under present
law would be made at an interest rate below that paid by the Government itself for comparable borrowed money.
The first nuclear powered merchant ship, the N. S. Savannah, is
expected to be completed in January 1960. Research on improved
nuclear propulsion of merchant ships is continuing. Legislation
should be enacted to assure that nuclear materials may be distributed
for use as fuel on United States merchant ships.
Some savings in maintenance costs will be realized by the Maritime
Administration through disposal of surplus shipyards which it owns
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
and through reducing preservation work on over 1,000 Liberty ships
no longer suitable for mobilization.
Expenditures for operating subsidies to shipowners, estimated at
$130 million, will be unchanged from 1959. A maximum of 330 ships
are expected to be eligible for operating subsidies, including a limited
number for new Great Lakes routes.
Urgently needed repair and modernization of Coast Guard equipment and facilities are provided for in the increase of $20 million in
new obligational authority over the 1959 amount. This will not only
improve the protection given life and property but will also save operating and maintenance costs in the future.
Highways.—The comprehensive highway program enacted in 1956
established the principle that highway users, rather than the general
taxpayers, should pay the cost of Federal-aid highways. The larger
contract authority enacted in 1958, however, will create a cumulative
deficit in the highway trust fund under present law of $241 million by
the end of the fiscal year 1960, and about $2.2 billion by the end of
1962.
To maintain the trust fund on a self-supporting basis, I am recommending a temporary increase of 1% cents in highway fuel taxes,
to become effective July 1, 1959, and to remain in effect through the
fiscal year 1964. This increase is necessary to assure availability of
the entire 1961 and 1962 Federal-aid highway authorizations without
waiving provisions in the basic legislation which limit expenditures to
the amounts available in the trust fund.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
In addition, as I have previously recommended, the forest and
public land highways, which are an integral part of the Federal-aid
system but are now financed from general budget funds, should be
transferred to trust fund financing, and the revenues from aviation
gasoline taxes which are now allocated to highway construction should
be retained in the general fund. The net effect of these changes is
that all Federal expenditures for Federal-aid highways will be paid
from the highway trust fund and the fund itself will be financed
by highway users.
Postal service.—Since 1953 this administration has been using every
available method to improve the efficiency of the postal service, and
to place its operations on a self-supporting basis, except for a few
subsidized uses authorized by law.
In the last session the Congress took an important step by enacting
the first comprehensive increases in postal rates in a quarter century.
The increases, however, were considerably short of the minimum
necessary amounts which I had requested and were made more
inadequate by pay increases for postal employees for which no additional financing was provided. As a result, new obligational authority
of $522 million would be required next year, under existing legislation,
to finance the postal deficit and the subsidized public services.
The Postal Policy Act of 1958 established, for the first time on a
statutory basis, the principle that postal rates should be adequate to
cover all costs of operating the postal establishment with certain
exceptions. Consistent with tbis requirement, further revisions in
rates should be enacted adequate to provide at least $350 million of
additional revenues in 1960. Legislation for this purpose will be
proposed in the near future.
An appropriation of $172 million is requested to reimburse the Post
Office Department for public service costs not required to be covered
by postal revenues. However, the concept of public services as
defined in the act requires excessive costs to be charged against
general Treasury revenues. Therefore, the Congress should correct
this situation by amending the Postal Policy Act of 1958 to prevent
these excessive charges and to assure a more equitable sharing of
postal operating costs between mail users and the general public.
These increases in rates, together with the appropriations for public
service items, should provide adequate funds, not only to meet the
expanded requirements for postal service in 1960, but also to carry
forward the research and capital programs already underway. As a
result we can make needed progress in acquiring modern facilities
and equipment adequate to take care of the steadily increasing mail
volume in later years.
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
Housing and community development.—A year ago I presented to the Congress a carefully considered program for revision and
extension of the basic statutes governing several major housing and
community development programs. Adjournment of the Congress
without enactment of these recommendations has made it necessary to
adopt temporary expedients to handle continuing applications for
urban renewal capital grants and college housing loans until new
authorizations can be made available. Emergency legislation has
already been proposed to the Congress to provide the funds necessary for these programs and to increase the mortgage insurance
authority available for the remainder of the fiscal year. In this
message I shall emphasize comprehensive long-run changes needed
in this important area.
Urban renewal.—The Federal Government is providing major
assistance to communities in halting urban deterioration and replacing
it with orderly redevelopment. Approximately 650 urban renewal
projects are now underway or completed in more than 380 cities.
These will involve an ultimate net cost estimated at about $2 billion,
of which over $1.3 billion will be supplied by Federal capital grants.
The Federal Government also has outstanding loans and loan guaranty commitments totaling about $700 million for temporary financing of these projects.
When urban renewal legislation was not enacted by the Congress
last year, authority subject to the President's discretion had to be
used to make available $100 million for capital grants. Since this
authorization will soon be exhausted, the emergency legislation
already proposed contains an additional $100 million for 1959 and
also $100 million to restore the discretionary authority for future
emergencies.
The Congress should act promptly upon four major revisions in the
urban renewal laws:
(a) Assure the States and cities of continuing Federal support for
urban renewal by authorizing capital grants of $1,350 million for the
next 6 years. For each of the first 3 years, 1960-62, $250 million
should be authorized, with $200 million annually for 1963-65. This
forward authorization, together with administrative steps already
taken to allocate the available funds equitably, should enable each
community to develop a long-term community-wide plan which may
then be financed in realistic annual installments.
(b) In accordance with the predominantly local benefits received,
require States and cities to assume a gradually increasing share of the
expense of buying and improving the land and of other net project
costs. On projects initiated in fiscal 1960, the Federal Government
should continue to pay two-thirds of the net cost and the State and
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
local community one-third. In succeeding fiscal years the State and
local share should increase by steps to 40, 45, and finally 50% in
1963-65. The increased non-Federal share should not prove onerous, since much of this contribution normally is provided through
construction of improvements otherwise necessary and the increased
property values in the completed projects will usually permit the local
costs to be recovered in increased tax receipts, often within 10 years
or less.
(c) Encourage more careful planning by requiring the States or
communities to assume their share of the cost of planning from the
start. At present the Federal Government advances the full amount
for planning and the local share is paid only if the project actually
goes forward.
(d) Aid nonresidential urban renewal projects by authorizing $150
million in loan commitments to assist local agencies to obtain financing
from private sources. Projects of this type often can yield such substantial increases in property tax revenues that local communities
should be able to finance them without requiring Federal grants.
Public housing programs.—By the end of the fiscal year 1960,
over 475,000 federally aided public housing units will be occupied by
about 2 million people, and the additional 110,000 units already
authorized will be under contract for Federal contributions but will
not yet be constructed. These 585,000 units should meet most of
the demand for such housing by low-income families displaced by
highway construction, urban renewal, or similar governmental action
in the next few years. I shall not ask for authorization for any
additional units.
Insurance of private mortgages.—Through the mortgage insurance
programs of the Federal Housing Administration and the loan guaranty program of the Veterans Administration, the Federal Government is underwriting private credit for a substantial share of all
houses built and purchased. Twice during the past calendar year,
however, orderly planning and financing of home building have been
jeopardized when increases in applications for mortgage insurance
exhausted or threatened to exhaust the maximum amount of insurance
authorized by law. The emergency housing legislation already recommended to the Congress would increase the existing limitation by $6
billion. I urge that the limitation be completely removed in general
legislation so that this self-supporting program will be available at all
times to insure adequate financing of housing.
Several other major legislative actions should be taken to permit
insurance programs of the Federal Housing Administration to meet
demonstrated needs :
(a) Enact permanent authority to insure property improvement
loans;
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
(6) Authorize interest rates for insured armed services and other
rental and cooperative housing mortgages adequate to assure private
financing of such loans;
(c) Establish a new insurance program for mortgages on rental
housing for elderly persons to replace the present limited program;
(d) Broaden the special mortgage insurance for families displaced
by urban renewal and other Government programs to include more
effective aids for rental housing;
(e) Extend for another year the authority to insure mortgages for
military housing;
(J) Increase the maximum amounts of mortgages on sales housing
eligible for insurance.
Veterans' housing loans.—The direct housing loan program of the
Veterans Administration was extended and liberalized last spring as
an antirecession measure. Requests for direct loans now exceed
available funds in large part because the law does not permit interest
rates that are adequate to attract private financing of guaranteed
loans. I urge the Congress to act promptly to authorize the same
flexibility in interest rates for the Veterans Administration as the
Federal Housing Administration already has for comparable programs,
and to extend the voluntary home mortgage credit program. These
two actions should enable private lenders to meet a large share of the
unsatisfied demand by veterans for Government loans, and will also
reduce budget expenditures.
Mortgage purchases.—Under its special assistance programs, the
Federal National Mortgage Association purchases certain types of
insured or guaranteed mortgages. From 1956 through 1958 expenditures for these purchases have been exceeded by receipts from repayments and from sales of mortgages acquired under earlier purchase
programs. Ill 1959, however, mortgage purchases will exceed repayments and sales, and net expenditures will jump to an estimated $678
million, as a result of the billion-dollar program authorized last spring
by the Congress to purchase mortgages on low-cost housing at terms
favorable to the borrowers.
For the fiscal year I960, the Association will endeavor to cover its
expenditures for mortgage purchases by receipts from mortgage
sales and other sources. To make this possible without diverting
the flow of new funds from the mortgage market, an estimated $335
million in Government-owned mortgages will be offered to investors in
exchange for certain Government bonds which then will be retired.
To avoid unnecessary budget outlays in future years the Housing
and Home Finance Agency is increasing its efforts to obtain private
financing for programs now largely financed with special assistance
funds. These efforts, aided by those of the Department of Defense,
have alreadyproved successful in obtaining adequate private credit for
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
the armed services family housing program which, until last spring,
had been financed mainly from Government funds. New commitments of over $400 million are anticipated for 1960, mainly for the
purchase of mortgages on housing in urban renewal areas and housing
for the relocation of families displaced by governmental actions.
Since the agency is now permitted to control the prices at which it
purchases such mortgages, the rapidly growing financing requirements
can and should be met in substantial degree from private sources.
College housing.—No additional authorizations were provided for
college housing loans by the Congress last year. Accordingly, while
processing of loan applications has continued, only limited new commitments have been made. The emergency legislation already before
the Congress would provide $200 million in new lending authority
at once. This should be adequate to meet the needs for loans for at
least the remainder of the fiscal year 1959.
For the fiscal year 1960, no additional new obligational authority
is requested for college housing loans. However, an estimated $50
million in obligations owned by the Government will be offered to investors in exchange for certain Government bonds which then will be
retired. This amount will'be' available for loans to take care of unusual cases during a transitional period from direct Government loans
to other means of financing college housing needs.
About 60% of the demand for college housing loans in recent years
has come from State universities and other public institutions. Such
institutions normally can borrow privately on relatively favorable
terms because of Federal tax exemptions on the income from their
obligations. Nevertheless, they have been encouraged to borrow
from the Federal Government by the low subsidized interest rates
required by law since 1955. For the remainder of the present direct
loan program, the law should be amended to remove this incentive to
Federal borrowing by {a) denying eligibility for loans to any institution qualified to issue tax exempt securities and (b) placing in the law
a requirement that interest rates cover costs on loans to all remaining
eligible borrowers.
For the future, and in order that there may be no hiatus in providing
Federal assistance where it is most needed, this budget suggests that
the Congress include in general housing legislation provisions relating
to college housing which would authorize a limited loan guaranty program. However, it seems to me that the continued needs of colleges
and universities for housing should be considered within the framework of the general problems of education. The Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare is now concluding its studies of these
problems.
Small business.—Recent enactment of the Small Business
Investment Act and of legislation making the Small Business Administration a permanent agency is substantially strengthening Federal
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
assistance to small businesses. New loan commitments to State and
local development corporations and to newly authorized small business
investment companies are estimated at $73 million in 1960, thereby
putting to work a much larger amount of private capital. Efforts will
be continued to assist small businesses in obtaining a fair share of
Federal procurement, to advise them on Government property disposals, and to provide them with technical and management assistance. The new program of grants for research on small-business
problems and counseling for small firms is getting underway. The
expansion in loans can be financed largely by increased receipts
anticipated from loans made in prior years, so that net expenditures
of $164 million for the agency's business-aid programs will be only
$7 million greater than in 1959.
Area assistance.—In disapproving the area redevelopment legislation enacted in the closing days of the last Congress, I expressed the
hope that the next Congress would promptly pass a more soundly
conceived program. The revised legislation which this administration
is proposing would:
(a) Place the major responsibility on local citizens;
(b) Authorize loans to areas where unemployment has been well
above the national average for 2 or more years;
(c) Authorize grants for technical assistance to these areas and to
localities dependent upon a single industry or situated in rural lowincome areas;
id) Place leadership in the Department of Commerce, with the
assistance of other Federal agencies.
To finance this program, I recommend initial appropriations in
fiscal 1960 of $55 million. Based on the successful, comparable programs conducted by certain States, these appropriations should be
adequate to meet the Federal share for redevelopment of all areas
expected to qualify under the proposed legislation.
Civil and defense mobilization.—Reorganization Plan No. 1 of
1958 merged the former Office of Defense Mobilization and the Federal
Civil Defense Administration into the new Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization. This merger is now substantially completed and permits improved coordination of our nonmilitary defense. New obligational authority of $87 million is recommended for 1960.
Methods for formalizing the means by which the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization utilizes appropriate resources of other departments and agencies are now being studied. The OCDM budget
includes $12 million for financing the assigned responsibilities of such
agencies in civil defense and mobilization programs.
It also includes $21 million to carry out legislation enacted last
year for sharing with the States the cost of civil defense personnel
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
and administration, and for providing radiological monitoring devices
to States and cities for training and operational use.
During the past year the administration accelerated a program of
public education on the effects of fallout with the aim of stimulating
preparations for fallout protection. The new obligational authority
for OCDM includes $11 million for the continuing support of this
program and for research and demonstration on shelters.
AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL
RESOURCES
Expenditures for agriculture and agricultural resources are surpassed
in magnitude in the budget only by outlays for national security and
for interest on the public debt. The continuing heavy impact of
agricultural programs on the budget is mainly the result of the continued high volume of agricultural production and our long established and now largely outmoded system of farm price supports. This
system of price supports is not suited to the technically more efficient
agriculture that has been rapidly developing in this country. The
system provides production incentives that impede needed adjustments and encourages the production of surpluses which, in turn,
result in increased Government outlays for commodity loans and purchases, and for storage and interest costs.
Legislation is urgently needed, therefore, to make further revisions
in the price support program. Recommendations will be sent to the
Congress in a special message on agriculture. In this budget I am
recommending extension of the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954 (Public Law 480) and the Sugar Act, major
changes in the rural credit programs, and a reduction in the advance
authorization for the agricultural conservation program.
Estimated expenditures for agricultural programs in fiscal year 1960
are $6 billion, which is $779 million less than the estimate for the
current year, but $1.6 billion more than was actually spent in 1958.
The main part of the decrease expected in 1960 is in the soil bank
program, because the acreage reserve portion terminated at the
end of the 1958 crop year.
Total new authority to incur obligations requested for agriculture
and agricultural resources in 1960 is $5.1 billion. This amount
includes, among others, $2 billion to restore the capital impairment
of the Commodity Credit Corporation resulting from price support
losses, and $1.2 billion to reimburse the Corporation for estimated
costs and losses under other programs financed through that agency.
All of these Commodity Credit Corporation costs and losses are
reflected in budget expenditures of 1959 and prior years.

MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Price supports and related programs.—Expenditures for price supports
and other programs to stabilize farm prices and farm income will comprise about 75% of total expenditures for agriculture and agricultural
resources in 1960.
Because of the many uncertainties with respect to future production,
consumption, and exports of farm commodities, it is difficult to estimate the expenditures required for price supports. The budget
assumes that crop yields in 1959 will be lower on the average than
the record yields of 1958, but that a part of the land that was in the
acreage reserve of the soil bank will be used to produce additional
price-supported crops in the 1959 crop year. The shift of this idle
land to crops will be a factor contributing to continued heavy Commodity Credit Corporation expenditures under existing laws.
Because of the technological revolution that is still increasing productivity in agriculture, farmers continue to produce more than can
be marketed at home and abroad. Under our present open-end price
support system, this excess production results in increased Federal
loans and purchases and increased carryover inventories. Total
loans and commodity inventories of the Commodity Credit Corporation on June 30, 1958, amounted to $7.1 billion. This accumulation
is expected to rise to $9.1 billion by June 30, 1959, and still further
to nearly $10.5 billion by June 30, 1960. To prevent continuation
of huge Federal outlays, legislation will be proposed to make badly
needed changes in the price support system.
Titles I and II of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 expire on December 31, 1959. Sales of farm commodities for foreign currencies under title I of this act and donations
of commodities for relief purposes under title II have provided a
temporary method of coping with some of the continuing excess production of farm commodities. This budget proposes extension of
titles I and II of this act for 1 additional year, with an increase from
$6,250 million to $7,750 million in the authorization for the Commodity Credit Corporation to incur costs and losses under title I.
The International Wheat Agreement between wheat importing and
wheat exporting countries expires on July 31, 1959. The desirability
of extending this agreement is currently being studied.
Although the Sugar Act, which serves to stabilize domestic sugar
prices and assure adequate domestic supplies, does not expire until
December 31, 1960, it is recommended that the act be extended at
this time in order to give sugar producers needed time for production
planning.
Agricultural credit programs.—The Rural Electrification Administration has made a major contribution to the development of rural
America. Over 95% of our farms now have central station electric
MlOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
service compared with 11% in 1935. Expanding use of power in the
areas served by electric cooperatives, however, requires substantial
amounts of new capital every year to provide additional generating
capacity and heavier transmission and distribution facilities. Rural
industrial and nonfarm residential consumers, which already account
for about one-half of total power sales by the REA system, are
increasing their power consumption much faster than are farm consumers and comprise about 75% of the new customers being added.
The prospective size of new capital requirements, together with the
present state of development of the rural electric cooperatives, emphasizes the need to broaden the sources of capital from which the REA
system may obtain the funds to finance needed expansion.
I am again proposing that legislation be enacted to assist both
electric and telephone borrowers to obtain financing from private
sources.
A reduction in the levels of the direct loan programs of the Farmers'
Home Administration is recommended in this budget. Direct loans
for farm ownership and for soil and water conservation are supplemented with private loans insured by the Federal Government. In
order to attract additional private credit, the Secretary of Agriculture,
under authority of present law, has raised the interest rate to be paid
on insured farm ownership and soil and water loans from 4% to 5%.
Legislation will also be proposed to place the Farmers' Home
Administration on a revolving fund basis of operation. Under such
legislation funds received in repayment of previous loans would be
available for new loans and administrative expenses.
Conservation of agricultural resources.—Payments to farmers representing a sharing of the costs of conservation practices performed
during the 1959 crop year will require $197 million in expenditures
and $242 million in new obligational authority for fiscal 1960. These
amounts are needed to pay for the advance authorization in the 1959
agricultural appropriation act, which exceeded my recommendation.
For the 1960 crop year a reduced advance authorization of $100 million
is recommended. This amount, along with other public programs in
support of soil and water conservation, will provide substantial
incentives for farmers to continue the soil and water conservation
practices required to maintain our agricultural resource base.
With termination of the acreage reserve, many farm owners are
expected to place larger acreage in the soil bank conservation reserve.
This shift, together with an increase in rental payments, will result in
an increase in expenditures from $141 million in fiscal 1959 to $343
million in 1960. The budget provides for an upper limit of $375
million on payments in the 1960 calendar year, which is the same as
was provided for 1959.
MlO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
No additional funds are recommended for 1960 to initiate construction on watershed projects under the Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention Act. However, funds available from the 1959 appropriation will permit starting construction on 60 projects in 1959 and 40
more in 1960.
Research and other agricultural services.—Expenditures for research,
education, and other agricultural services financed from direct appropriations will be about the same in the fiscal year 1960 as in 1959,
more than double the amount spent for these purposes in 1954.
Research in foreign countries to increase industrial uses of agricultural commodities will be strengthened through the use of foreign
currencies obtained from the sale of farm commodities abroad.
NATURAL
RESOURCES
Expenditures for the development and conservation of natural
resources are estimated at $1.7 billion in 1960, approximately the
same as in 1959, which itself will be higher than any previous year.
About two- thirds of the expenditures in 1960 will be for the development of water resources.
Work on many resource development projects underway was accelerated in the latter part of the fiscal year 1958 to aid in economic
recovery, and the higher rate of construction has continued into 1959.
To carry forward projects started in 1959 and earlier years will require
some increases in appropriations for 1960. In view of this record
program, no funds are provided in the 1960 budget for starting
construction of new water resources projects. Further, the budget
contemplates stretching out construction on some projects underway
where this can be done without stopping work on the projects. Other
programs will be continued at or below current levels. Even with
these economies, total expenditures in 1960 for resources programs will
remain at a record level.
Water resources.—Flood control, navigation, irrigation, and related
activities of the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation
are expected to require expenditures of $1.1 billion in 1960—an alltime high. Of this amount, an estimated $869 million will be spent
on construction.
In the years after 1960, an amount of $5 billion will be required
to complete going projects, and annual expenditures in 1961 and
1962 will be even higher than in 1960. In view of this extremely
high level of commitments and expenditures, the budget contemplates
that in some cases work on new starts, for which appropriations were
made for 1959, will be limited in that year largely to preconstruction

activities, including land acquisition. No additional funds are requested to start new projects in 1960.
In the interest of sound water resources programs in future years,
funds are recommended to continue investigations and advance planning and to assemble basic data for future projects. I continue to
believe that, as part of sound advance planning, the FryingpanArkansas project in Colorado should again be considered for authorization, but no appropriation to start construction should be enacted
until the overall budgetary situation is more favorable.
Research will continue on processes for converting sea water and
brackish water to fresh water. Design work and site selection for
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
demonstration plants, initiated in fiscal 1959 under legislation enacted
during the past session of the Congress, will be advanced in 1960.
One of the most pressing needs for achieving a sound water resources policy is the establishment of a consistent basis for cost sharing on flood control projects. Several distinguished commissions have
emphasized the disruptive effects of requiring the Federal agencies
responsible for flood protection works to operate under different and
confusing cost-sharing standards. Legislation will be proposed to set
a uniform basis of cost sharing for all projects not yet under construction that produce identifiable flood protection benefits to local areas.
Under such legislation, non-Federal interests would bear at least 30%
of the cost, with the value of lands, easements, and rights-of-way contributed locally counted as part of the non-Federal share. Operation
and maintenance would be a State or local responsibility.
I again urge the Congress to take action early in this session to authorize the sale of revenue bonds by the Tennessee Valley Authority
in order that the Authority may meet its needs for new generating
facilities. Under such legislation the Congress would retain budgetary
control of the program. This budget includes a supplemental authorization for fiscal 1959 of $200 million under the proposed revenue
bond legislation.
To help improve financial management, legislation will be recommended for the establishment of revolving funds for the Bonneville,
Southeastern, and Southwestern Power Administrations in the Department of the Interior. These Administrations market hydroelectric power generated at certain dams constructed by the Corps of
Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. With this legislation,
part of the receipts from these power sales would be used directly,
subject to such limitations as may be included in appropriation acts,
for financing the operation and maintenance expenses of the marketing
agencies, thus reflecting the results of these business-type operations
in the budget on a net basis.
Other resource programs.—In 1960, expenditures for conserving and
developing the resources of the national forests, public domain lands,
and Indian lands will be somewhat lower than in 1959. Receipts
from management of these lands are estimated at $300 million in 1960,
an increase of $22 million over the 1959 estimate. In accordance
with this administration's policy to obtain a fair return for use of
federally owned resources, legislation will be proposed to revise the
fee schedule for noncompetitive oil and gas leases on lands in the
public domain.
Scheduled construction on Indian reservations will permit progress
in providing roads, irrigation and water systems, and buildings and
utilities. The major share of building construction will go for schools
MlOmESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
for Indian children who reside on lands held in trust by the United
States.
Expenditures in 1960 for fish and wildlife resources will be at about
the present level. An increase is recommended to acquire lands for
additional wildlife areas in 1960. Also, to aid the fishing industry, the
fishery loan fund will be augmented by $3 million and mortgages
for fishing vessels will be insured by the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries in the Department of the Interior.
This budget provides for the continued improvement of our national
parks and the development of the national forests for recreational use.
A supplemental 1959 appropriation is recommended to enable the
recently established Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission to undertake the first comprehensive survey of outdoor
recreational resources and needs. It is anticipated that the Commission's findings and recommendations will provide guides for
Federal, State, local, and private interests in considering how to
meet the increasing demands for outdoor recreation.
Under present methods of utilizing natural gas, helium is largely
being dissipated into the atmosphere. This unique gas is needed for
atomic energy and missile programs as well as industrial welding and
certain types of aircraft. Legislation is recommended to conserve for
future use the Nation's vital helium. Maximum private participation
and financing in accomplishing this objective are contemplated.
LABOR AND WELFARE
The Federal Government's labor and welfare services have grown
significantly in the last decade as new programs have been enacted
and old ones broadened and expanded. Budget expenditures for
labor and welfare will have doubled between 1950 and 1960. Including payments from trust funds as well as budget funds, there is
an almost fourfold increase, from $5.3 billion in 1950 to an estimated
$19.1 billion in 1960. Much of the increase in budget outlays has
been for grants-in-aid to States and local governments, which in 1960
will comprise three-fourths of budget expenditures for labor and welfare programs.
Total expenditures for these programs are estimated at $4.1 billion.
This is $682 million more than was spent for these programs in 1958
but $251 million less than the estimate for the current year. The
decrease from 1959 to 1960 occurs chiefly because of the expiration
on April 1, 1959, of the antirecession legislation for temporary Federal
unemployment compensation payments. Excluding these temporary
payments, estimated expenditures in fiscal 1960 are $161 million
greater than in 1959. Significant increases are provided in 1960 for
the defense education program initiated in fiscal 1959 and for higher
public assistance grants as required by legislation enacted by the last
Congress.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
While continuing to support programs necessary to stimulate
greater State and local effort in areas of critical national concern,
this administration has consistently endeavored to strengthen our
system of government by encouraging State and local governments
to assume responsibility for many public needs which they can provide
well without relying on Federal aid at all, or by financing a larger
share from their own revenue sources. Therefore, toward this objective, legislation is again recommended to:
(а) Discontinue Federal grants for vocational education and for
waste treatment works construction and adjust Federal revenue laws
as recommended by the Joint Federal-State Action Committee so the
States can assume full responsibility for these programs starting in
the fiscal year 1961;
(б) Modify the provisions for aid to schools in areas affected by
Federal activities;
(c) Increase State and local participation in the financing of public
assistance programs.
Specific proposals will be transmitted to the Congress during this
session on each of these matters and I urge the Congress to speed
their enactment.
The rapid growth in our population, when added to the increasing
complexity of our economy as a result of rapid technological advances,
brings us face-to-face with increasingly difficult problems in the fields
of health, education, and welfare. We cannot continue to deal with
these problems on a year-to-year basis. We must, as a Nation,
arrive at an understanding on long-term goals. At the same time
we must endeavor to reach an understanding on the respective contributions that should be made by government at all levels and by
private groups in order to achieve these goals. I have announced in
my state of the Union message a series of studies designed to facilitate
the reaching of such consensus.
Science, research, and education.—Expenditures for basic research,
which provide the foundation for advancements in applied research
and technology and assist in the support of our universities, will
continue upward in 1960. Expenditures for the program of research
grants by the National Science Foundation are expected to reach
$80 million, an increase of $20 million above 1959 and more than
double the 1958 amount. Basic research in other departments and
agencies will continue to increase over past years. For all agencies
combined, it is estimated that Federal expenditures for basic research
will be about $500 million in the fiscal year 1960.
In the field of education, primarily in science and mathematics, this
budget provides for increased expenditures by the National Science
Foundation and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
for programs initiated or enlarged in fiscal 1959.
480000—59

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
The National Science Foundation programs are carried out through
fellowships to individuals and grants to institutions of higher learning. They are chiefly directed toward providing encouragement and
opportunity for capable students to undertake careers in science, improving courses of instruction in sciences, and providing advanced
training for scientists and science teachers. For example, in 1960,
28,000 teachers—including one out of every six science and mathematics teachers in our high schools—will have the opportunity to attend institutes devoted to the improvement of teaching in these fields.
Expenditures for the science education programs of the Foundation
in the fiscal year 1960 are estimated at $60 million, an increase of $9
million above the 1959 level, and four times the expenditures in 1958.
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, under the
National Defense Education Act of 1958, is initiating a program of
repayable contributions to loan funds for college students and of
grants-in-aid to States. The grants, which will run for 4 years, will
help pay for the testing and counseling of high school students, the
equipping of laboratories in the secondary schools, and related
activities. The budget includes a supplemental appropriation for
1959 of $75 million to augment the $40 million already available in
fiscal 1959 for the defense education program and provides $150 million
in new obligational authority for fiscal 1960 pending further experience
with the program.
Schools in federally affected areas.—Although education is primarily
a responsibility of State and local governments, the Federal Government has an obligation to assist communities where large numbers of
children of persons engaged in Federal activities impose an extraordinary burden on local school districts.
Programs to provide financial assistance to districts thus affected
have been extended and liberalized several times since they were
first started in 1950, despite the fact that they should be modified to
assure greater and more equitable local responsibility. The Federal
Government's responsibility is clear for those children whose parents
both work and live on Federal property, and do not, therefore,
pay local property taxes. On the other hand, it is only proper for the
communities to bear the cost of educating children of those Federal
personnel who, like all other residents, pay local taxes directly or
indirectly for the support of public schools. In accordance with these
principles, legislation will be recommended to place these aid programs
on a more sound and equitable basis.
This budget includes appropriations of $181 million for these
programs for the fiscal year 1960, the same amount as the appropriations provided by the Congress for fiscal 1959.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Government statistical and economic services.—The rapid growth of
our economy and the effective operation of markets for goods and
services requires prompt and accurate national statistical information,
as well as improved organization in the Government for its analysis.
This budget recommends a major increase in funds for obtaining
fundamental economic and demographic data through the 18th decennial census. It also provides for improvements in the compilation of
regular price, construction, manpower, and related data to help produce more sensitive and useful information on which many private
and Government policies are based. Additional price data will be
collected for the Consumer Price Index by the Department of Labor,
and a start will be made toward a revision of the index, which is to be
completed in 5 years. Preparation of statistics on construction activities will be consolidated in the Department of Commerce, The
responsibility for planning and publication of current comprehensive
employment and unemployment statistics will be centralized in the
Department of Labor, where the work on labor requirements will be
strengthened.
Labor and manpower.—The growth of our economy depends in large
measure upon the full use of our manpower resources and the effective
operation of the free labor market. The Federal-State employment
security system, with an estimated 54,000 State employees in 1,800
local offices, makes an important contribution to the functioning of
that market. This budget provides $329 million of appropriations for
grants to States for administration of employment service and unemployment insurance offices.
These grants are presently financed from an earmarked Federal tax
which flows through the general budget even though it is not available
for general Government purposes. Legislation is proposed to place
an amount equal to the proceeds from this tax directly in a trust fund
from which the necessary grants can be appropriated, and any balance
used as a reserve for employment security and unemployment purposes. The administration of this program would then be financed
in the same way as other social insurance programs.
Our unemployment compensation system has again demonstrated
its importance in providing income for the unemployed and thereby
supporting the economy while alleviating hardship. Temporary
assistance of the kind provided by the Temporary Unemployment
Compensation Act of 1958 is in no sense a substitute for widening the
coverage of unemployment compensation and extending the duration
of benefits and increasing benefit amounts under the Federal-State
system. I have many times urged such action. I urge it again now
with added conviction as a result of last year's experience.
M65

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
I am again urging prompt enactment of effective statutory protection for workers and the public from the racketeering, corruption,
and abuse of democratic processes which have been disclosed in the
affairs of certain labor unions. Additional statutory protection in
the field of labor-management relations will likewise be proposed to
promote equity and stability in the relations among workers, unions,
and employers. I shall make specific proposals in a special message
on labor affairs.
Legislation is also recommended to provide equal pay for equal
work, to revise the laws relating to hours of work on Federal construction projects, and to extend the coverage of the Fair Labor
Standards Act so that several million more workers can receive its
protection.
Last year Congress enacted legislation requiring regular reports and
public disclosure of the provisions and finances of welfare and pension
plans. Every effort is being made in administering the law to protect
potential beneficiaries, and amendments to strengthen the basic authority will also be sought. In addition, the Administration recommended and the Congress authorized enforcement of safety codes for
longshoremen and harbor workers to overcome certain hazardous conditions in the maritime industry. Supplemental appropriations for
administering these new laws are recommended for 1959.
Public health.—Expenditures by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare for health programs, including those for research
and construction of health facilities in fiscal 1960 are estimated at
$675 million—more than double the amount 5 years earlier.
Large and rapid increases in outlays for medical research and training
by the National Institutes of Health have occurred simultaneously
with expansion in related research by other agencies. In 1960, expenditures for such purposes are estimated to increase to $254 million,
which is more than three times the amount 5 years ago. The impact
of this expanded effort on medical schools and research institutions, as
well as its implications for broader policy in education and health
programs, requires careful appraisal. The Secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare is completing a review of our long-term
objectives in the field of medical research and training. The results of
this study in terms of program and costs, including indirect costs, will
be made available to the Congress.
Another large component of the health programs consists of construction of hospitals and waste treatment works through grants, and
of health research facilities through grants and direct financing.
Expenditures in the fiscal year 1960 for these programs are estimated
at $186 million, which is $8 million more than in the previous peak
year 1959. Proposed new obligational authority has been reduced in
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
M65
a manner consistent with the policy outlined earlier in this message
relative to public works. For hospital construction, the Congress
provided a sharply increased 1959 appropriation for antirecession
purposes, a sizable portion of which will be available for obligation
in 1960.
The future of our health programs depends on an adequate supply of
qualified personnel. Legislation is recommended to extend the programs, which expire on June 30, 1959, for training of professional
nurses and for graduate training of public health personnel.
Social security and public assistance.—The Federal Government's
responsibility for income maintenance should be mainly discharged
through contributory, self-supporting social insurance. Today we
have social insurance programs which help protect nearly all our
people from loss of income due to old age, permanent disability, or
death of the wage earner. The Federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system provides basic protection for nearly all
workers; military personnel and railroad workers are covered in addition by special Federal systems; and Federal civilian employees are
protected by special laws. The growth of the social security program
since World War II is indicated below :

Despite this tremendous growth, and despite the primary responsibility of State and local governments for the economic security needs
not met by soci&l insurance, Federal expenditures for public assistance
grants to States will continue to rise in 1960—chiefly because of the
1958 amendments to the Social Security Act. Legislation raising the
Federal matching share or extending Federal participation to new
groups has been enacted five times in the last six Congresses. The

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
Under the authority of recent legislation, an advisory council is
being appointed by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
to study the whole structure and financing of our public assistance
programs. I have asked the Secretary to present to this council, at
the earliest possible time, the issue of what constitutes an appropriate
Federal share in these programs. I have also requested him to
develop recommendations, after consulting the council, which can be
presented to the Congress to increase State and local participation in
the cost of the public assistance programs beginning in 1961. In this
connection, I believe we must keep in mind the fact that the Federal
share of such expenditures has increased to more than 57% on an
overall basis and runs as high as 80% in many cases. I believe that
this trend is inconsistent with our American system of government.
If it continues, the control of these programs will shift from our State
and local governments to the Federal Government. We must keep
the financing and control of these programs as close as we possibly
can to the people who pay the necessary taxes and see them in daily
operation.
A basic problem in the public assistance programs is achieving the
goal of helping people to help themselves return to self-support.
Solution of this problem requires studies into the causes of dependency
and its prevention. It also requires better training of local case
workers. This budget provides for cooperative work with the States
in these two areas.
Other welfare services—The rehabilitation of disabled people is rewarding in human as well as economic terms. This budget provides
additional funds in 1960 for the Federal-State vocational rehabilitation program. It is estimated that services will be provided to
314,000 persons during 1960 and that the number rehabilitated will
increase to 90,000.
Additional funds are included for the White House Conference on
Children and Youth which I have called for 1960 so that the States,
localities, private organizations, and Federal agencies can pool their
knowledge of the best ways to meet the needs of our youth. Funds
are also included in this budget for the 1961 White House Conference
on Aging, which will provide an opportunity for all levels of Government and our many private organizations to find means through
which they can contribute to a better life for our 15 million elderly
citizens.
Railroad retirement insurance.—The railroad retirement system is a
combination social insurance and industrial retirement program operated by the Government but self-financed from employment taxes on
railroad workers and carriers. Several legislative steps should be
taken to improve this system:
First, it should be placed on a sound actuarial basis. Although it
is generally accepted that railroad retirement should be fully self-
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
financed, studies made in recent years show that the system is incurring a substantial actuarial deficit. Therefore, taxes on railroad
employment should be increased at the earliest possible time, without
changing the status of such contributions for Federal income tax
purposes.
Second, the wages covered for railroad retirement should be raised
from $4,200 to $4,800 annually in line with the 1958 amendments for
Federal old-age, survivors, and disability insurance. These two
systems have been increasingly coordinated, particularly through the
1946 and 1951 amendments, but were not equally strengthened last
year.
Finally, revisions should be made in the law governing Federal
payments to the railroad retirement account for time spent by railroad
workers in military service. According to the Comptroller General,
the Government has already paid to the railroad retirement account
an estimated $350 million more than will ever be required for the
added cost of benefits resulting from military service previously
rendered by railroad workers. Furthermore, the law requires Government contributions of several hundred million dollars on a 10-year
installment basis to the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance
trust funds for past military service, including the service of railroad
workers for whom contributions have already been paid to the railroad retirement fund.
Legislation should be enacted to make the actual added cost of
military service credits the basis of payment to the railroad account.
This is the method already incorporated in law for military service
by railroad workers before 1937 and is also the method specified for
noncontributory service credits for old-age, survivors, and disability
insurance purposes. Payment on this basis will save taxpayers an
estimated $95 million in future appropriations for military service
between 1948 and 1954. The past Government overpayments to the
railroad system should be transferred to the old-age, survivors, and
disability insurance trust funds as the annual installments of Government contributions to those funds become due. By providing the
first such installment for 1960, this legislation will make unnecessary
an $80 million appropriation from the general fund for that year.
VETERANS' SERVICES A N D BENEFITS
The upward trend of expenditures in veterans' programs is expected
to halt temporarily in the fiscal year 1960, mainly because declining
workloads result in a decrease of $163 million for readjustment programs which have helped so many veterans of World War II and the
Korean conflict to become reestablished in civilian life. Expenditures
for disability and death compensation, which have increased in the
last several years because higher rates were enacted, are expected to
decrease somewhat in 1960 as the number of beneficiaries declines.
M65
M72
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
However, expenditures for other permanent programs are continuing
to increase, primarily because more veterans with disabilities not resulting from their military service are receiving hospital and medical
care or pensions. The estimated total expenditures for veterans in
1960 of $5.1 billion are $110 million less than in 1959, and $62 million
more than in 1958.

and $5,125 million (including $122 million for anticipated supplemental authorizations) estimated for 1959.
Most of the expenditures for veterans' benefits and services cannot
be controlled by ordinary appropriation processes because the eligibility conditions and benefit rates are set by basic legislation, and
payments must be made if eligible veterans apply.
This Nation has always shown deep gratitude and provided special
benefits and privileges for its war veterans and their dependents,
particularly for those veterans killed or disabled as a result of their
service and for their widows and children. I am convinced that we
will always continue compensation programs which reflect this policy.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
However, I believe that certain, of our national policies and legislation
governing other veterans programs should be modified. This is particularly true of the benefits provided to veterans and their families
for disability or deaths not resulting from or related to military service.
With veterans and their families constituting nearly half of our population, the cost of these veterans' benefits is high, and will continue to
increase as our veterans advance in age.
Pensions.—We must continue veterans' pensions and increase
pension rates for those who are without other resources, particularly
if they have families. However, eligibility should be determined
according to effective tests of need, both as to income and as to net
worth, so that payments will no longer be made where the veteran or
his family has adequate resources for basic necessities from other
sources. Properly applied, I believe this approach can better serve
those who are now in need and at the same time minimize the burden
placed on taxpayers by present laws. I have, accordingly, asked the
Administrator of Veterans Affairs to present to the Congress legislation both to provide more equitable treatment of needy veterans
and to modernize the veterans' pension program in the light of social
developments and changes.
Compensation.—Other veterans programs also merit close continuing
attention. The Veterans Administrator will expedite and broaden
the work underway in the Veterans Administration on revising
standards for rating of disabilities. For some of the seriously disabled
veterans, whose activities are greatly restricted, increases in compensation rates are warranted. Likewise, improved rehabilitation
services should be provided for those few peacetime ex-servicemen
with substantial service-connected disabilities.
Hospital and medical care.—This budget includes $891 million of
expenditures for hospital and medical care for veterans in 1960. The
increase of $6 million from 1959 is provided to improve the staffing
and quality of service in the hospitals. Provision is made for hospital
and domiciliary care for an average of 140,800 beneficiaries per day.
More than 2 million outpatient treatments or examinations for
service-connected disabilities will be provided in 1960.
An appropriation of $20 million is recommended for modernization
of hospital and domiciliary facilities; with balances from prior years,
this appropriation will permit expenditures of $55 million for construction and modernization.
Administration.—Administrative expenditures associated with veterans programs wdll be lower in 1960 than in the current year because
of declining workloads and increasing efficiency. Funds are provided
M65
M74
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
for improving the top management and evaluation activities of the
Veterans Administration. The application of modern high-speed
automatic equipment to the large volume recordkeeping and clerical
operations will be extended. This will produce significant administrative savings in future years.
INTEREST
Interest payments are estimated to rise $495 million to $8.1 billion
in the fiscal year 1960. These payments, almost entirely for interest
on the public debt, represent more than 10% of budget expenditures.

Since the spring of 1958, market rates of interest have increased,
reflecting the strong recovery of the economy. The rise in market
rates requires the Treasury to pay higher interest on securities issued
to refinance the heavy volume of maturing Government obligations,
a large part of which were issued when interest rates were lower.
In addition to higher interest rates, the amount of interest payments
depends on the size and composition of the public debt. It is anticipated that the public debt will reach $285 billion by the end of the
fiscal year 1959. On the basis of the balanced budget I am presenting, the debt will be no higher at the end of 1960, although there
will be a substantial temporary increase during the year.

M76
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
General property and records management.—Initiation of new construction is being deferred in the fiscal year 1960 and no funds are
recommended for starting new general office buildings. In 1959,
a total of $208 million new obligational authority was enacted for this
purpose.
Hence, expenditures in 1960 for Government office
buildings started in prior years will increase sharply.
Central personnel management.—The public interest requires a comprehensive analysis and modernization of Federal pay policies and
systems. The salary and benefit systems for Federal civilian employees should combine the best practices of progressive private employers with the special needs of the Government. Government
policy should promote efficiency, maintain a clear relationship at all
levels between pay and work performed, and assure compensation
reasonably comparable with that in private employment. Although
some progress has been made in recent years, the present system falls
far short of meeting these objectives. Accordingly, I again urge the
Congress to establish a Joint Commission on Civilian Employee
Compensation in the Federal Government.
Statehood for Hawaii and home rule for District of Columbia.—I again
recommend that the Congress enact legislation to admit Hawaii into
the Union as a State, and to grant home rule to the District of Columbia. It would be unconscionable if either of these actions were
delayed any longer.
Alaska.—I am highly gratified to be the first President in 47 years
to have had the privilege of welcoming a new State into the Union.
Alaska takes its place as the equal of the other 48 States with both
the privileges and the responsibilities that go with statehood. Recommendations will be transmitted to the Congress concerning certain
changes needed in Federal law as a result of Alaska's admission to the
Union in order to apply to Alaska the same general laws, rules, and
policies as are applicable to other States.
The size of the new State, its geographic location, present Federal
ownership of 99% of the land area, and Federal administration of
services provided elsewhere by private enterprise and State and local
governments create problems not previously encountered when new
States were admitted into tbe Union. Furthermore, some time will
elapse before Alaska can benefit fully from the revenues to be derived
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
from public lands and other resources to be made available to the
State by the Statehood Act. The Federal Government is cooperating with Alaska in developing constructive solutions to these transitional problems.
In the long-run interest of both the State and the Nation, the
Federal Government should not continue special programs in Alaska
which, in other States, are the responsibility of State and local governments or of private enterprise. The Federal Government should
provide such financial assistance as is necessary to facilitate transfer
to the State of such programs as highway construction and maintenance, airport operations, and public health services. Therefore,
legislation will be proposed to authorize the payment of transitional
grants to the State of Alaska in an amount not to exceed $10.5 million for the fiscal year 1960 and in declining amounts for the subsequent four years. Under the proposed legislation Alaska could
choose between receiving the entire transitional grant or requesting
that a portion be used for financing continued Federal operations
during an interim period.
Expenditures for the transitional grants to Alaska will be largely
offset by the elimination of existing special Federal programs in
Alaska. Alaska will, of course, be eligible to participate in regular
Federal grant-in-aid programs on a comparable basis with the other
States.
Other recommendations for legislation.—The last Congress enacted
legislation to cover some of my most urgent proposals for amending
the immigration laws. Legislation on the remaining proposals should
be promptly enacted, and the expiring authority to issue visas to
certain orphans and to aliens afflicted with tuberculosis should be
extended.
I also recommend that the Congress direct special attention to the
creation of additional Federal judgeships as proposed by the Judicial
Conference, and the strengthening of Federal laws against organized
crime.
To permit further timely improvements in the structure of the
executive branch of the Government, I recommend that the Congress
extend the Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, which is effective
only until June 1, 1959.
I again recommend that the President be authorized to make
awards for distinguished civilian achievement.
M65
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M65
M78
CONCLUSION
This budget charts the course our Government should take as we
embark on the decade of the 1960's. Since the end of World War II,
the pace of achievement and universal change has quickened with
each successive year, sharpening the need for adjustments in the relations of peoples and nations to each other. In the decade facing us,
the challenges to representative government will be no less than in the
past; indeed, the tasks which are certain to be laid upon the executive,
legislative, and judicial branches will require from each increasing
vision, understanding, and wisdom.
This budget is designed to serve the needs of the Nation as a whole
as effectively as possible. It rejects the philosophy that the national
welfare is best served by satisfying every demand for Federal
expenditures.
Our objective, as a free Nation, must be to prepare for the momentous decade ahead by entering the fiscal year 1960 with a world at
peace, and with a strong and free economy as the prerequisite for
healthy growth in the years to follow. This can be achieved through
Government actions which help foster private economic recovery and
development, and which restrain the forces that would drive prices
higher, and thereby cheapen our money and erode our personal savings.
The first step is to avoid a budget deficit by having the Government
live within its means, especially during prosperous, peacetime periods.
The 1960 budget reflects our determination to do this.

INTRODUCTION TO PART II
Part II contains the details of the budget for Federal
funds, including various types of tables and schedules,
explanatory statements of the work to be performed and
the money needed, and the text of the language proposed
for enactment by Congress on each item of authorization.
Included herein is also material on a few trust funds
which require congressional action.
This part of the budget begins with 4 statements (tables
6 through 9) which supplement the tables of part I. The
remainder of part II is arranged in chapters reflecting the
organization of the Government.
Each chapter begins with a summary narrative statement and certain summary tables. These are followed
by detailed material for each appropriation or fund.

FORM
OF DETAILED
For each appropriation, the budget includes certain
detailed material, as follows: (1) appropriation language,
if applicable; (2) a schedule of program and financing;
(3) a narrative statement on program and performance;
(4) a schedule of object classification. An exception occurs in the case of certain permanent appropriations and
other older appropriation accounts on which only a residual
balance remains; such accounts of a bureau or independent
agency are often combined into a single presentation
instead of having detailed schedules.
In the case of revolving funds, there is usually the material listed above, together with three additional schedules, covering (5) the sources and application of funds;
(6) revenue, expense, and retained earnings; and (7) financial condition. For some intragovernmental revolving
funds the program and financing schedule is omitted.
APPROPRIATION
L A N G U A G E
The language proposed for inclusion in the 1960 appropriation acts is printed at the head of each item requiring
action by Congress, except for those items which are not
formally recommended at this time but will be proposed
for later transmission. The language of the 1959 appropriation acts is used as a base. Following the language
are citations to relevant laws and the appropriation act
from which the text is taken, as in this example:

This schedule consists of two parts. In the section for
program by activities, obligations are classified by purpose, program, or project. This classification, especially
tailored for each agency and account, reflects the particular duties and responsibilities for which the money is
used. The financing section shows the appropriation provided and other means of financing the program, and the
disposition of amounts not used during the year. Only
three of the possible entries are illustrated here:

or other obligational authority must be provided by the
Congress before obligations can be incurred.
Where the data are available in the accounting system,
cost-type budgets are presented. In such cases, the
figures opposite the activity entries are the value of goods
and services consumed in carrying out the program, in the
case of operating costs; and they are the value of capital
assets received, in the case of capital outlay programs.
The program portion of a typical cost-type budget looks

In those cases where the program is principally for
procurement or public works, additional columns are often
shown to make a more complete presentation. Where
there is an accrued expenditure limitation there are additional entries to show the relation of costs to accrued expenditures and the relation of accrued expenditures to
obligations. The financing section of a cost-type budget
schedule is the same as for any other schedule.
The relation of costs to obligations is usually summarized in one or two lines on this schedule, but is amplified further in an additional text table inserted in the
narrative statement which follows. A typical table is as
follows:

The work planned and services proposed to be carried
out are described briefly in a narrative statement for each
appropriation or fund. Where practicable the narrative
statement indicates the expected accomplishment in
relation to the financial estimates, and it gives some
measures of program and performance. Headings in the
statements usually agree with the categories in the statement of program by activities.

OF
OBJECT
CLASSIFICATION
There is shown for each account a summary of personal
services and a classification of the obligations according
to a uniform list of objects.
The object classes, numbered from 01 to 16, reflect the
nature of the things or services purchased, regardless of
the purpose or the nature of the program for which they
are used.
Permanent positions are those of a full-time nature
which are of indefinite duration. Some are filled by
persons with temporary appointments. The "number of

employees at end of year" represents the number of (a)
full-time and regularly scheduled part-time employees in
pay status on the last work day in June, and (b) intermittent employees who work at any time during June. This
is the basis for reports of the Civil Service Commission.

For revolving funds there is also presented a statement
of revenue and expense, computed on an accrual basis,
and the resulting net income or loss for the year. This
statement is usually on a full accrual basis, including
sums for depreciation, provisions for losses on receivables,
CONDITION
For each revolving fund there is presented a balance

The balance sheet excludes any balances of appropriations or borrowing authorizations which have not
yet been paid into the revolving fund. The section on
investment of the Government is divided into three subsections as appropriate: (a) the interest-bearing capital,
(£>) the non-interest-bearing capital, and (c) the retained
earnings.
Because the balance sheet is on an accrual basis, it does
not reflect the obligations incurred which have not yet
matured into liabilities, nor does it reflect unfilled customer
orders received and available as a basis for obligation in the
case of intragovernmental revolving funds. Therefore,
there is appended to the balance sheet a schedule which
shows the unobligated balances, relating them to the unexpended balances and showing the computation of the
net obligated balance as in the following example:

3,650,524
FINANCIAL
1957 actual
STATEMENT
$5,071,800
3,646,224
The statement includes an analysis of the retained earnings or the cumulative deficit. This analysis shows any
additions to earnings, other than net income for the year,
any charges made against retained earnings, and the balance of profits kept in the enterprise as of the end of the
year (whether in the form of cash, inventories, other
current assets, or fixed assets).
FUNDS
For all revolving funds, there is shown a presentation
of funds applied and provided, other than the investment
of Government capital in the fund, borrowings, and the
repayment of capital and dividends.
The statement generally reflects revenues and expenditures on an accrual basis; an adjustment is made for
changes in selected working capital (current assets, other
than cash and inventories for sale or manufacture, less
current liabilities) in either section of the statement as
appropriate. Because of such an adjustment, the gross
expenditures shown on the statement, less the receipts
from operations, equal budget expenditures on a checksissued^basis, as in the following example:
Gross expenditures (funds applied):
Acquisition of equipment

L Acquisition of library materials.—The development
of the Library's collections is planned; materials are
procured by purchase, gift, exchange, copyright, deposit,
transfer, and official deposit; and materials are selected for
addition to the permanent collections. The objective for
1960 is to continue improvement in acquisitions procedures
and in exchange relations with institutions in the more
important areas of the world. The collections totaled
36,905,919 items as of June 30, 1958, and consisted of
11,411,475 books and pamphlets; 15,687,836 manuscript
pieces and 9,806,608 maps, pieces of music, reels of microfilm, photographs, and other miscellaneous items. Of the
items received, about 1 million are added to the permanent
collections annually. Those received from various sources
in 1958 and estimated for 1959 and 1960 are as follows:

2. Organization of the collections.—Library materials are
cataloged, classified, marked and arranged; Library of
Congress catalogs and the main National Union Catalog
(card catalog) are maintained; special collections are
organized for use; and binding operations are controlled.
The objectives for this activity in 1960 are the cataloging
of a larger number of the materials received during the
year, particularly those in Oriental languages; handling
receipts of special materials and organizing them for use
on a current basis; and improved cataloging methods and
procedures to assure the usefulness of the collections.
, Selected performance data for 1958 and estimated for
1959 and 1960 (not including processing activities performed by the Reference Department and the Law
Library) are as follows:
Description
Volumes fully cataloged and added to the
classified collection

The card division sells copies of the Library's printed
catalog cards and publications. It maintains a stock of
over 130,000,000 catalog cards representing some 3,200,000
titles, and fills orders from approximately 9,000 regular
subscribers—mostly libraries—in the United States and
abroad. In 1958, about 91% of this appropriation was
recovered from the sale of cards and publications. Receipts of $1,558,000 were deposited in miscellaneous
receipts of the Treasury. The objectives for 1960 are:
(1) Meeting the increased demand for catalog cards and
maintaining a reasonable level of service and economy;
(2) the continued expansion of the National Union
Catalog; and (3) the printing of cards for books in Chinese
and Japanese.
1. Supplying cards for the Library of Congress.—The
number of cards supplied to the Library of Congress in
1958 was 4,308,694; estimated for 1959, 4,385,000; and
for 1960, 4,460,000.
2. Supplying cards for other libraries.—The number of
cards sold in 1958 was 28,351,083; estimated for 1959,
28,351,000; and for 1960, 29,500,000.
3. Preparation, printing, and distribution of publications
related to cataloging.—These publications are an integral
part of the cataloging activities of the Library of Congress
and include the Classification Schedules, lists of Subject
Headings, Rules for Descriptive Cataloging, Cataloging
Service Bulletins, and similar publications.
4. Preparation, printing, and distribution of the National
Union Catalog.—This catalog (a cumulative author list) is
issued monthly and cumulated quarterly and annually.
Subscribers also receive issues of Motion Pictures and
Filmstrips (quarterlies with annual cumulation), and
Music and Phonorecords (issued on a 6-month basis and
annual cumulation). There were 989 paid subscriptions
for all issues in calendar year 1958, and it is estimated that
there will be 990 subscriptions for 1959 and 1,000 for 1960.
Also included under this activity is the National Library
of Medicine Catalog.
5. Preparation, printing, and distribution of the Subject
Catalog.—This catalog is issued in three quarterly volumes
with an annual cumulation. There were 401 paid sub-
scriptions for calendar year 1958. It is estimated that
there will be 401 paid subscriptions in 1959 and about
410 in 1960.

This appropriation constitutes the only means of acquiring regular domestic trade publications (except for
copyright deposits) and many foreign trade publications,
both current and noncurrent, from approximately 100
countries or areas. The publications acquired by purchase constitute a most important part of the Library's
acquisitions although they represent only a small portion
of the material received annually. The objectives for
1960 are: (1) The continued acquisition at the present level
of selected important foreign newspapers and periodicals;
(2) the acquisition of important materials from critical
areas; (3) the direct purchase of selected current titles on
microfilm as an economy measure in lieu of binding; and
(4) the microfilming of deteriorating materials as a necessary preservative measure.

The division for the blind is responsible for administering a national program to provide reading material
for the blind of the United States, Territories, and insular
possessions. It has two closely related operations.
1. Procurement and distribution.—It provides books in
embossed characters, and talking books with their associated reproducers. The books are distributed through
30 regional libraries which assume responsibility for their
custody and circulation. The reproducers are distributed
through 55 State agencies. The maintenance and procurement of these books are shown in the following table:

Objectives for 1960 include the procurement of more
titles of books, of more copies of the popular titles, of a
sufficient number of machines to equip newly registered
blind readers and to replace scrapped machines, purchase
of a limited number of machines utilizing the transistor
technique, and continuation of the quality inspection
program on books and machines and of research in sound
reproduction and Braille printing.
2. Cataloging, reference, circulation, and training services.—Catalogs of talking and Braille books are prepared
and maintained, including a Union Catalog of Hand
Copied Books in Braille which brings together a record of
holdings of all libraries. The division also maintains a
unique collection (about 25,000 volumes) of books in
Braille not available elsewhere for loan in the United
States. During the period 1946 to 1957 the number of
readers throughout the country requiring catalogs from
which to select reading matter has grown from 30,088 to
58,888 and circulation from 801,797 units (volumes or
containers) to 1,554,935. The number of readers and
circulation are expected to continue to increase in 1959
and 1960. Inquiries are received concerning library and
related services available to the blind. Individuals

Public Law 85-147 (71 Stat. 368), approved August 16,
1957, authorizes an appropriation of $720,000, to remain
available until expended, to arrange, index, and microfilm
the papers of the Presidents of the United States in the
collections of the Library of Congress. The purpose is to
preserve their contents and to make them more readily
available for research. The program was started in 1959
with an appropriation of $100,000. The objectives for
the second year will be to provide negative and positive
service copy on microfilm of material arranged and indexed, and to commence publishing an index by photooffset in an edition of 1,000 copies. Completion of the
entire program is contemplated in about 6 years.
The Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1959, appropriated $60,000 to provide for the conversion to safety
base film of the George Kleine collection of nitrate film
and the paper prints of early American motion pictures
now in the custody of the Library.
During 1959, nearly all of the paper prints and a substantial portion of the 1,250,000 feet of nitrate film in the
George Kleine collection will be converted. The request
for 1960 will continue the conversion of these two collections and may even allow for the conversion of a small
segment of the 33,750,000 feet of other nitrate film which
also contains important cultural records of the past.

The work programs of the Office of the Superintendent
of Documents are of a service nature, and hence there is
no control over the volume of work which is required by
law.
1. Sales distribution.—Government publications are
purchased from the Public Printer to be placed on sale.
Acquisition costs are paid from sales receipts; hence no
appropriation is required for printing sales copies. By
law, the sale price is set at the cost of manufacture plus
50%. At the end of each year, excess receipts from sales
not required for purchasing additional publications are
turned in to the Treasury Department as miscellaneous
receipts. For 1958, earnings from the sale of publications amounted to $3,142,099. It is estimated that earnings for 1959 will be $3,250,000 and $3,350,000 for 1960.
These earnings more than cover the appropriation required to finance the sales program.
The sale of Government publications has been steadily
increasing, and in the last 10 years the sales volume has
more than doubled. The current public interest in the
Government's publishing program points to a continuing
increase in the volume of sales.
2. Distribution for other agencies and Members of Congress.—The Superintendent of Documents maintains mailing lists, including the list for the Congressional Record,
and performs mailing operations upon request of any
Government agency. Mailing services for farmers7 bulletins, soil surveys, and other publications which are allocated to Members of Congress on a quota basis are also
provided.
3. Depository library distribution.—Upon request, 1
copy of every Government publication is supplied to more
than 583 libraries which are designated depositories for
Government publications.
4. Cataloging and indexing.—This activity covers the
preparation and distribution of catalogs and indexes of all
publications issued by the Federal Government, the principal series being the Monthly Catalog of the United
States Government Publications and the Numerical List
and Schedule of Volumes.
5. Relation of costs to obligations.—The year-end balances of unpaid undelivered orders are as follows: 1957,
$3,744; 1958, $8,532; 1959, $8,532; 1960, $8,532.

The Government Printing Office executes orders for
printing, binding, and blankbook work, placed by Congress and the various departments and independent
agencies of the Federal Government, and furnishes on
order, blank paper, inks, and similar supplies. Operations
are subject to the authority of the Joint Committee on
Printing (44 U. S. C.).
A separate appropriation has been established for authorized printing and binding for the Congress; for printing, binding, and distribution of the Federal Register; and
printing and binding of Government publications authorized by law to be distributed without charge to the recipients (67 Stat. 330).
All work for Government agencies is done on a reimbursable basis and financed through the Government
Printing Office revolving fund.
Receipts from sales of publications by the Superintendent of Documents are deposited to this fund and cost of
publications paid therefrom. Profits accruing from these
transactions are deposited in the Treasury of the United
States and credited to miscellaneous receipts (44 U. S. C.
63).

The Court of Claims has jurisdiction of all cases involving claims against the United States (except in pension
suits) instituted upon constitutional grounds or under
Federal law or regulations, all claims arising out of any
contract with the Federal Government and its agencies,
and claims for the refund of taxes. It also has general
jurisdiction to hear and determine claims for damages
other than tort actions, provided the claimants would
have the right to sue in law or equity if the United States
were not immune to such suits. It has jurisdiction in
suits against the United States by contractors dissatisfied
with the findings and decisions of contracting agencies
under terminated war contracts, and jurisdiction concurrent with that of the courts of appeals to review district court decisions in cases involving tort actions. It
has exclusive jurisdiction to review the decisions of the
Indian Claims Commission on appeal from that Commission. It also has jurisdiction in special act cases referred
to the court by either or both houses of Congress.
The court continues to carry a heavy load of cases and
has been able to dispose of the cases which are ready to
be heard as expeditiously as the Department of Justice
can process them. At the beginning of the court year,
October 5, 1957, there were 6,741 cases pending. As of
October 4, 1958, there were 6,849 cases pending. During
the above period 1,547 new cases were filed and 1,439
cases were disposed of.

and the Government's contribution to the civil service retirement fund to match the deductions from the salaries
of those judges in the Territories and possessions appointed for a term of years and who do not elect to avail
themselves of the provisions of 28 U. S. C. 373.
Salaries were paid to an average of 386 judges in 1958.
The appropriation for 1959 will permit the payment of
salaries to an average of 402 judges. On July 1, 1958,
there were 386 judges on the rolls, but it is expected that
the number of retirements and appointments to resulting
vacancies will cause an increase early in the year in the
number of judges to be paid. It is estimated that the
number of judges on the rolls in 1960 will be the same as
in 1959.

Grand and petit jurors who serve in the Federal courts
are paid statutory fees and expenses, as are jury commissioners. United States commissioners are primarily
committing magistrates and are paid fees for their services.
The amount of service and the compensation of jurors
depends mainly on the number of jury trials requested by
the parties to civil and criminal cases in the United States
courts. The earnings of commissioners are directly related to the volume of cases presented by Federal law enforcement officials.
The call for juries is expected to continue to be heavy as
the general activities of the courts remain at a high level.
A supplemental appropriation for 1959 is anticipated under
Proposed for later transmission.

Travel and subsistence expenses incurred by the judges,

11 courts of appeals and 94 district courts of the United
States.
The prospective increase in the number of retired judges
rendering judicial service, the proposed expansion of the
probation system and clerks' offices to cope with rising
caseloads, and the general increase in the cost of services
and facilities for the courts require a larger appropriation
in 1960 than for 1959 for the impersonal expenses of
operating the courts. A supplemental appropriation for
1959 is anticipated under Proposed for later transmission.

This office is responsible, under the supervision and
direction of the Judicial Conference of the United States,
for providing for the administration of the United States
courts. The principal functions consist of providing
administrative staff and services for the courts; examining the state of the dockets of the various courts and
compiling and publishing statistical information concerning the business transacted by the courts; administering
the probation and bankruptcy systems; and conducting
the general business affairs of the courts.
The estimates for 1960 provide for the study of the
rules of practice and procedure in Federal courts pursuant to Public Law 85-513; for the expansion of statistical
studies and examination and survey of court dockets; for
an improved program of personnel administration; and
for closer coordination between the 94 probation units
and the Administrative Office. New projects are being
developed to cope with the serious congestion existing in
a number of courts and to meet the increasing administrative and fiscal work in the judiciary. A supplemental
appropriation for 1959 is anticipated under Proposed for
later transmission.

The district courts of the United States are constituted
courts of bankruptcy and invested with original jurisdiction at law and in equity in proceedings brought under the
bankruptcy statutes. This jurisdiction primarily is exercised through referees appointed by the several district
courts. Their compensation and expenses are paid from
special funds created by payments of fees and charges by
parties to the proceedings. The present system is and
has been self-sustaining, and no general tax dollars are
involved in its operation.
A marked and steady rise in the number of new cases
filed with the referees has occurred in recent years. Cases
filed in 1958 totaled 91,668, or 17,907 more than in 1957
It is estimated on the basis of current trends that new
cases filed in 1959 and 1960 will total 107,000 and 117,000,
respectively. Provision for more referees and additional
service by the present referees will be necessary to cope
with the rising caseloads forecast for the current and
ensuing years.

Office and other expenses of referees, including compensation of clerical employees, are payable upon authorization of the Director of the Administrative Office of the
United States Courts. Workload data appear under the
account for salaries of referees. These expenses are paid
from special funds created by payments of fees and
charges by parties to the proceedings. The system is selfsustaining, and no appropriation from the general fund
of the Treasury is required.
In order to process the anticipated increase in volume
of cases it is necessary to provide for expansion of the
referees' staffs and their facilities in 1960. A supplemental appropriation for 1959 is anticipated under
Proposed for later transmission.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
The new obligational authority recommended for 1960
for compensation of the President and for staff assistance
in the White House offices and in the several agencies of
the Executive Office is approximately the same as the
1959 amount, with the significant exception of the newly
created Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
About 89% of the new obligational authority recommended for 1960 for the Executive Office is for the
Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization. About 5%
is for the Bureau of the Budget, which is the staff arm of
the President responsible for working on governmentwide
problems such as organization, accounting, statistics, and
legislative reference, as well as for preparation and review
of the budget. The White House staff and various special
projects account for 4%.
The Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization was established by Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1958 through the
merger of the Office of Defense Mobilization and the
Federal Civil Defense Administration. It coordinates all
mobilization and civil defense functions of the executive
branch and carries out nonmilitary defense programs in
cooperation with the States and localities.
New obligational authority of $87 million is recommended for this new agency for 1960, an increase of $39
million over the comparable amount for 1959. The increase results mainly from the first full year cost of legislation enacted by the last Congress which made civil
defense a joint responsibility of the Federal Government
and the States, and authorized new Federal programs for
(1) sharing in the cost of State and local civil defense
personnel and administration and (2) providing radiological monitoring devices to States and cities for training
and operational use. Part of the increase in 1960 is also
due to the recently announced national policy to stimulate necessary preparation for fallout shelter protection
through research, education, and demonstration.
The 1960 recommended new obligational authority includes $12 million for later transmission to finance, on a
consolidated basis, the civil and defense mobilization
functions of other Federal agencies under clarified and
expanded assignments of responsibility.

cannot be considered the responsibility of an existing
agency. Examples of the type of assistance provided
during the current year are projects on the coordination
of the Nation's scientific effort, foreign economic policy,
and coordination of public works planning.
These funds provide the President with staff assistance
and provide administrative services for The White House
Office.

OFFICE OF CIVIL AND DEFENSE MOBILIZATION
This Office was created by K©organization Plan No. 1
of 1958 through the merger of the Federal Civil Defense
Administration and the Office of Defense Mobilization.
It coordinates all civil defense and mobilization activities
of the Federal Government and provides guidance and
assistance to the States and their political subdivisions
in the planning of civil defense measures as an integral
part of the national plan for civil defense and defense
mobilization. Operational capability for attack warning
and emergency communications is provided, stockpiles
of medical and engineering equipment are maintained for
emergency use, financial contributions are made to States
and political subdivisions for civil defense personnel and
administrative costs and the provision of facilities and
equipment, and radiological defense equipment is furnished to the States and localities for training and operational use. Policies are developed for the administration
of the Defense Production Act and the strategic and critical materials stockpile.
In 1960 major emphasis will be devoted to programs
for strengthening the capability of all governments to act
effectively in emergencies, for developing an effective
radiological defense, and for increasing the availability
of appropriate fallout shelter.
The sole appropriation to the former Office of Defense
Mobilization entitled Salaries and expenses has been
merged with the former Federal Civil Defense Administration appropriation for Operations. The remaining
proposed appropriations are comparable to those made to
the former Federal Civil Defense Administration.
Current authorizations:

1. Executive direction and policy planning.—In addition
to the top level direction of all emergency programs, this
activity includes the development, coordination, and
evaluation of civil and defense mobilization policies and
programs and the development of overall planning
assumptions, based on United States and enemy capabili-
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
ties and weapons effects data, for various types of emergency situations.
2. Research and development.—Programs designed to
meet current and projected research needs are coordinated
and administered. In addition, damage assessment systems required for emergency operations and control of
critical resources are provided. During 1960 special
emphasis will be placed upon fallout shelter research
involving design and development of prototype shelters
and studies of shelter availability. The administration
of the research program is under this appropriation;
actual research projects are financed under the Research
and development appropriation.
3. Emergency planning.—This activity provides for the
development of Federal mobilization plans and coordination of Federal, State, and local emergency operations
plans. This includes supervision of Federal grant-in-aid
programs for civil defense purposes; the overall coordination of civil defense and mobilization functions assigned
to other Federal agencies; measures to minimize the effects
of enemy attack by chemical, biological, or radiological
means upon the people and national resources; and the
development of shelter and other programs to reduce the
vulnerability of the Nation to weapons of mass destruction. Tests are conducted to determine the adequac}^ of
various types of emergency plans.
4. Warning and communications.—A nationwide attack
warning system extending from the North American
air defense regional headquarters to regional, State, and
local control points is provided. The budget provides
for maintenance of this system, with extension of attack
warning to some additional 100 key target areas. The
national communications system for post-attack emergency communications will be revised to provide full-time
and alternate routings capable of surviving attack. A
3-year program for installation of radio facilities in Statecontrol sites will be continued.
5. Training, education, and public affairs.—The office
provides training methods and materials to State and local
organizations and conducts training courses at the staff
college and training centers. During 1960, program
emphasis will be devoted to informing people on the
hazards of radiological fallout and the steps that they can
take to overcome it. The 1960 request provides for an
expanded program of adult education to teach the principles of individual, family, and community protection,
utilizing the existing adult education network in the
States. About 16,000 people have completed one or more
basic civil defense courses. An additional 9,000 persons
will be trained in 1960.
6. Resources and production planning.—This office develops operating plans to stabilize the economy and
manage the national resources under various emergency
conditions. Plans are also developed for the restoration
and rehabilitation of essential physical facilities after
attack. During 1960, work will continue in exploring
survival requirements, post-attack, and various methods
which can be used to fill these requirements.
7. Field operations.—Civil and defense mobilization
programs are made available to States and localities
through the eight regional offices and training courses in
civil defense are conducted at training centers.
8. Management services and stockpile operations.—In
addition to centralized administrative services, this activity also finances the management of the civil defense
69
stockpile. The stockpile is located in warehouses operated
by other Federal agencies.
9. Functions performed by other Federal agencies.—
A supplemental appropriation of $12 million is anticipated
for 1960 under Proposed for later transmission for carrying
out civil defense and mobilization functions assigned to
other Federal agencies.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1960
Financial contributions are made to States and localities
for selected types of civil defense equipment and for personnel and administrative costs. Through 1958 this
program was limited to equipment contributions only.
All States have participated in the equipment program
and a total of $82 million has been contributed by the
Federal Government, of which about 50% has been used
for warning and communications systems and 19% for
medical supplies and equipment. Recently enacted
legislation authorized financial contributions for personnel
and administrative expenses of States and localities.
This new program area is expected to account for about
half of the total Federal contributions in 1960 and will
require a supplemental appropriation for the last quarter
of 1959 which is anticipated under Proposed for later
transmission.
1. Radiological defense equipment.—Equipment is procured and granted to the States and localities for training
and operational purposes. The objective of this program
is to provide a national radiological monitoring system
through equipping 1.5 million trained personnel with
monitoring devices. Instruments procured through 1960
will provide for expanding the Federal agency portion of
the monitoring network, will provide training instruments
for use in 15,000 high schools, will provide the instruments
for training State and local personnel, and will equip
73,000 monitors in States and cities.
2. Stockpile management.—Materials and equipment
not normally available or not present in the quantities to
cope with conditions caused by enemy attack are stockpiled in strategic locations. These supplies and equipment are stored under the following criteria: (1) Minor
storage locations of approximately 10,000 to 20,000 square
feet, generally located fairly close to target areas on a
calculated risk basis, and principally for the storage of
functional assemblies; (2) major storage locations of
approximately 50,000 to 100,000 square feet, generally
located for direct support of specific target areas, used for
storage of bulk backup medical supplies as well as functional assemblies including emergency hospitals; and (3)
general reserve storage locations of from 100,000 to 500,000
square feet located a greater distance from target areas,
preferably in more isolated sections, used for storage of
bulk backup reserve supplies in order to give reserve
support to regional groupings of target areas. Government-owned and controlled installations are used wherever
possible.
Through 1958 approximately $213 million of supplies
and equipment had been stockpiled in 41 warehouses.
Activities under this program for 1960 will be directed
toward normal warehousing functions in connection with
existing stocks.

The 1960 budget includes $3,949 million for several programs of the Government for which new obligational authority is granted directly to the President, who may
designate officials or agencies to act for him in carrying

Current authorizations:
This program provides for a coordinated effort by the
Federal Government to assist States and their political
subdivisions affected by major disaster when they are
unable to cope with the situation physically or financially.
Responsibility for administration of this program is
delegated to the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
Disaster relief operations of the entire Federal Government are coordinated and funds are made available to
affected areas and to reimburse Federal agencies for
disaster operations.
State and local civil defense organizations are active in
disaster operations and receive valuable operational
training as a result. Unused prior year appropriations of
$24.9 million carried into the current year should be adequate to meet needs in both 1959 and 1960.

Under section 304 (b) of the Defense Production Act
of 1950, as amended, designated agencies are authorized
with Presidential approval to incur obligations and make
517,000
expenditures for the purpose of securing expanded production of critical materials in furtherance of the defense
effort. The program is conducted through a revolving
1,966,300
fund, with financing by borrowings from the Treasury.
49,126,000
4, 500,000
The act provides that the amount borrowed shall not
exceed an aggregate of $2.1 billion outstanding at any
9,751
one time, but permits contingent liabilities to be consid152, 812
ered as obligations only to the extent of the probable
100,000 ultimate net costs to the United States, rather than in
340,000
the full amount of the gross commitments outstanding.
To the extent that money must be expended to fulfill
4,600,000
150,000
commitments, even though the expenditures are considered to be ultimately recoverable (through repayments of
822,000 loans and sale of inventories, for example), portions of the
2,000
borrowing authority are required to be used for working
capital on a current basis.

As one of the inducements for expanding production
most of the contracts provided a guaranteed market for
the production from the expanded facilities. As the result
of changes in military requirements and the slow-down in
the civilian economy in 1958 much of this production
could not be marketed for industrial use in that period.
Therefore, significant amounts of materials are being
delivered to the Defense Production Act inventory under
options granted the contractor. Inventory working
capital requirements reached high levels and by December
31, 1958, the cost of the Defense Production Act inventory
was over $1.2 billion.
Until recently it was assumed that a substantial portion
of these materials could be transferred to the national
stockpile to fill stockpiling needs. However, objectives
have been reduced sharply as a result of a change in planning and programing concepts from a 5-year basis to a
3-year basis. Transfers to the strategic stockpile have
been virtually suspended for an indefinite period. In addition, Defense Production Act materials are not disposed
of where such sales would disrupt the domestic market.
There is little foreseeable disposition for the substantial
inventories being accumulated. Therefore, there is a
need for substantial additional funds to fulfill outstanding
commitments and acquire the additional inventories concerned. Present forecasts indicate that the fund will be
completely exhausted as far as cash and borrowing
authority are concerned early in 1960, thus necessitating
remedial legislation.
Interest continues to accrue, payable by the fund to the
Treasury, not only on the borrowings invested in loans
and inventories, but also on the borrowings which have
been used to cover losses. Since there is no way for the
fund to recover its realized losses, the perpetuation of
the interest-bearing arrangement on such expended capital
merely serves to make the cumulative deficit even greater
as the interest accrues each year. Legislative authority
is being requested to write off the fund's notes to Treasury
in a sum equal to the actual losses incurred under this
program by the participating agencies through December
31, 1958, which will restore an equivalent amount of
borrowing authority, estimated at $325 million. This
action will cover estimated cash requirements until sometime in 1961.
General Services Administration.—Borrowing authority
of $1,754,510,000 has been certified as of June 30, 1958, to
finance the expansion of productive capacity for strategic
metals, minerals and machine tools. This amount includes $1,008,097,000 for probable ultimate net cost of
specific programs of which $766,406,000 is for metals and
minerals programs, $64,900,000 for machine tool and
marine turbine and gear capacity programs, and $176,791,000 for Treasury interest, custodial, and administrative expenses. It also includes $746,413,000 of working
capital required for carrying inventories for which no sale
is now foreseen.
The bulk of the Defense Production Act expansion
programs have been contracted for and physical expansion
completed. The plants are in production and the contracts are now in the administration phase with the major
problems being receipt, custody, and eventual disposition
of the materials. Future deliveries of materials under the
contracts are expected to be substantial but will depend
upon economic and business conditions. The exercise of
option rights by contractors has been carefully examined
with a view to reducing deliveries to the Government as

Major Defense Production Act programs administered
by General Services Administration are as follows:
1. Basic expansion programs to increase mining or refining capacity of such materials as aluminum, copper,
nickel, and fluorspar by offering guaranteed markets under
specific contracts and for specific projects.
2. Domestic purchase programs designed to increase
domestic production by fixed incentive prices available to
all domestic producers of materials such as beryl and mica.
3. Research and pilot plant programs to develop new
processes for economic recovery of low-grade domestic
ores and for developing new processes for producing new
materials, such as titanium and S3mthetic mica.
4. A program for the production of nickel from the
Government-owned Nicaro nickel plant.
5. A program of sales, leases and machine tools storage
and standby machine tool production contracts.
As of June 30, 1958, a total of $7,550.1 million in gross
value of contracts has been entered into by General
Services Administration under Defense Production Act
authority. Of this amount a total of $5,968.2 million has
been completed as measured by procurement, guaranteed
production, completion of facilities, completed research,
etc. The balance of $1,581.9 million includes a total of
$1,367.8 of commodity contracts some of which will not
mature until 1964.
Cumulative losses from resale of commodities, Treasury
interest and operating expenses through June 30, 1958,
amount to $221.1 million.

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT
Department of Agriculture.—The purchase, management,
and resale of agricultural commodities, except forest products, are carried out by the Commodity Credit Corporation, which is reimbursed from this fund for the net costs
involved. The Secretary of Agriculture has been allocated borrowing authority for this purpose.
During 1958, the Corporation continued the management of inventories of castor beans and American-Egyptian
cotton acquired under programs initiated in prior years.
The castor oil and nearly all of the American-Egyptian
cotton inventories had been disposed of by June 30, 1958.
The remainder of the cotton will be sold during 1959.
However, it is contemplated that a small amount of castor
beans will remain in the inventory of the Commodity
Credit Corporation beyond June 30, 1960.
Net realized losses on purchase and resale operations
amounted to $300,716 during 1958 and is estimated at
$68,140 and $152,812 during 1959 and 1960, respectively.
Net budgetary expenditures of $4,941,074 for 1960 include
payment of cumulative interest. Further interest expense
of a little more than $1.5 million a year will be eliminated
with the proposed cancellation of Treasury notes covering
realized losses.
In addition to purchase and resale operations, the Secretary of Agriculture may recommend to the Office of Civil
and Defense Mobilization the certification of certain loans
for increasing plant capacity to process or store agricultural commodities. No loans were certified during
1958 and none are expected to be certified during 1959
and 1960.
Export-Import Bank of Washington.—Pursuant to section 311 of Executive Order No. 10480 of August 15, 1953,
which superseded Order No. 10161, the Export-Import
Bank, with funds provided under section 304 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, is responsible
for making and administering all loans under section 302
of the act, upon receipt of certificates of essentiality issued
by the Director of Defense Mobilization or the General
Services Administrator, where the expansion, development or production so financed is carried on in foreign
countries.
No certifications were received and no new loans were
authorized by the bank during 1958. It is contemplated
that there will be no additional certifications to the
Export-Import Bank in connection with these operations.
No additional obligational authority will be required. It
is estimated that net budget receipts for 1960 will be
$5,121,900.
During 1958, borrowing authority allocated to ExportImport Bank under the Defense Production Act of 1950,
was reduced from $50 to $35 million. As of June 30, 1958,
the outstanding balance of notes due the Treasury was
$29,569,026.
Treasury Department.—The function of making and
administering loans to private business enterprises under
the authority of section 302 of the Defense Production
Act of 1950, as amended, was assigned to the Secretary
of the Treasury by Executive Order 10489, dated September 26, 1953. Applications for loans are considered
only upon certification of essentiality by Office of Civil
and Defense Mobilization. Net loan certifications were
$198,699,085 on June 30, 1958, against which actual
borrowings from the Treasury amounted to $166,510,000.
There were no new loan commitments authorized under
this authority during 1958 and none are anticipated for
1960. However, a certificate of essentiality has been
issued in 1959 for one of the present borrowers in the
gross amount of $2,000,000 with the Government share
being $l,800,00(Tof which $1,035,000 is being used to
refund the existing loan. This loan is being made in
participation with a bank and the disbursement of
Treasury funds is deferred.
Loans outstanding on June 30, 1958, totaled $181,700,577, and $16,998,508 in commitments to participate
in loans made by banks wherein disbursement of Treasury
funds is deferred. By the close of 1960 it is estimated
that the loans will be reduced to $165,880,000 and the
deferred participation commitments to $14,840,000.
Loans and commitments outstanding are disposed of
to private financial institutions and investors whenever
possible.
Department of the Interior.—Operations within the
Department of the Interior with regard to the expansion
of defense production have been limited to the encouragement of exploration for strategic and critical minerals and
metals. As of June 30, 1958, the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization had certified to the Defense Minerals
Exploration Administration borrowing authority in the
amount of $37,011,000. From the beginning of the
program through June 30, 1958, Defense Minerals Exploration Administration had entered into 1,159 contracts in
wrhich the Government's share of estimated costs
amounted to $34,821,069, as against total estimated costs
of $56,798,111.
Defense Minerals Exploration Administration had
certified, as of the end of June 30, 1958, 337 discoveries on
projects involving contract amounts of $21,811,621, of
which the Government's share is $13,690,228. As of
June 30, 1958, a total of $11,039,589 of Government
funds had been spent on these certified projects. If
production takes place on these projects within a 10-year
period, some part, at least, of the Government funds
advanced will be repaid according to a royalty arrangement.
The Administrator of the Defense Minerals Exploration
Administration announced the termination of the program
under the borrowing authority as of June 30, 1958,
except for contracts in effect on that date. Public Law
85-701, enacted August 21, 1958, provided for a similar
program on a permanent basis to be financed by appropriations. The Congress appropriated funds for the
minerals exploration program, including administration
of contracts entered into under the prior Defense Minerals
Exploration A dministration program.
10. Relation of costs to obligations.—The relationship is
derived from year-end balances of selected resources and
applicable adjustment as reflected in the following table:

[MUTUAL SECURITY]
The mutual security program promotes the foreign
policy, security, and general welfare of the United States
by assisting other free world nations to maintain and
increase their economic and military strength. It is
conducted under the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as
amended. Responsibility for execution of the program
has been delegated by the President to the Secretaries of
T H E B U D G E T FOR FISCAL Y E A R 1960
90
[MUTUAL SECURITY!—Continued
Program and Financing—Continued
State and Defense. The Secretary of State has been
delegated responsibility for general coordination.
The mutual security program takes two principal forms,
military assistance and economic assistance. Military
assistance includes military end items, supplies, training,
construction, and research. Economic assistance includes
the development loan fund which is designed to stimulate
economic development by providing capital on a loan
basis. Unlike the military assistance and other economic
programs, the fund is not programed on a country basis;
rather, projects submitted by eligible countries are reviewed and approved on their economic and financial
merits within the funds made available by Congress.
Other economic assistance consists of defense support,
special assistance, contingency funds, technical cooperation, contributions to the United Nations and other international agencies for voluntary multilateral programs,
and a few miscellaneous activities.
From 1959 appropriations, about $180 million is being
programed to purchase surplus agricultural commodities
for sale in the recipient countries. Local currency proceeds from these and other commodities are used for local
requirements of the mutual security program in economic
programs and projects and troop support.
Substantial unexpended balances are required because
of the time necessary for the procurement and delivery
of military equipment and for implementing complex
economic development projects. There has been a decline
in unexpended balances for military assistance during the
past several years.
Appropriations required in 1960 to finance the mutual
security program under existing and proposed legislation
appear later in this chapter under Proposed for later
transmission.

The military assistance program is designed to increase
the mutual security of the free world by contributing to
the development, maintenance, and training of modern
military forces, which deter external aggression, lessen the
chances of internal subversion, and protect valuable
overseas bases. Forty-seven foreign countries are receiving grant aid under the military assistance program, and
many other countries are eligible to buy modern military
equipment on liberal credit terms. Many of these countries have joined with the United States in regional and
bilateral defense arrangements such as the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization, which are basic to this Nation's security.
Foreign forces supported by the program are numerically much greater than the United States Armed Forces,
and provide striking power, depth in reserves, and flexibility which this Nation's forces alone cannot provide.
Because it is imperative that these forces keep pace with
rapid changes in weapon technology, missiles and other
advanced weapons are being emphasized, commensurate
with their supply availability, allies', technical capabilities,
and the nature of the threat.
Grant aid operations—1. Common item orders.—Most
military assistance materiel is procured through orders
placed in the military services for common procurement with
similar items in the service programs. Such orders consitute a reservation of funds, from which the service is
entitled to reimbursement upon delivery of the items
ordered. Commencing in 1959, this activity includes
Navv ship construction and the cost of repairing and rehabilitating excess equipment either ordered from the
military services or scheduled for redistribution from one
country to another. The obligations estimated represent
only reimbursements earned by the military services for
deliveries made and not the funds reserved under this program. A schedule relating "reservations" to the appropriations of the military services appears at the end of the
Department of Defense—military functions chapter.

1. Defense support.—Defense support, a function under
economic assistance, is required in addition to military
assistance in order to secure a specific contribution to the
common defense of another country in which U. S. military aid is helping to support significant military forces.
The level of defense support is intended to be sufficient
to prevent economic retrogression, political instability,
inflation, balance of payments crises, or other conditions
which might adversely affect the military effort.
Defense support funds provide food (about one-fifth of
the program is for surplus agricultural commodities),
fertilizers, industrial raw materials, fuels and machinery.

Foreign currencies are available for mutual security
activities resulting from the sale of surplus agricultural
commodities purchased with mutual security appropriations for friendly countries for their currencies.
Local currencies accruing from these sources are deposited in a special account and are used for economic and
military activities in furtherance of mutual security objectives. These activities include the local costs of
projects, budget support of the lesser developed countries,
and procurement of supplies and materials for third
countries.

This fundfinancesloans, credits, or guaranties to governments of underdeveloped nations or to organizations, persons, or other entities to encourage the economic development of friendly nations (sec. 201, 72 Stat. 261). The
fund is a source of financing for economic development
which does not compete with either private investment
capital or the activities of the Export-Import Bank of
Washington and the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development.
Budget program.—Direct loan obligations amounted to
$102,100,000 in 1958 and, in addition, other commitments
were made in an amount of $165,536,000. All 1959 appropriated funds and 1958 unobligated balances will be
used for loan approvals by January 31, 1959. The loan
program for the balance of 1959 and for 1960 is set forth
in a separate schedule for later transmission as proposed
legislation.
A total of 6 loan agreements were signed in 1958 for development assistance with transportation, industry, agriculture and municipal water facilities in Ceylon, Honduras,
India, Israel, and Pakistan. It is anticipated that
about 70 loan agreements will be signed in 1959 from
available funds. In addition to direct loan commitments,
a program to guarantee the loans of United States investors
in underdeveloped areas is being initiated.
Financing.—The program is financed from non-interest-
bearing appropriations. Appropriations totaling $300
million were provided in 1958 and $400 million in 1959.
Additional funds for 1959 and 1960 are shown under
Proposed for later transmission. In addition, financing
is provided by receipts from operations.
Repayment of loan principal and payment of interest
may be made either in local currency or in dollars as
specified in the loan agreement and these amounts will be
available to the fund for further lending activity. Other
available revenue is anticipated from fees received for
issuance of loan guaranty.
Operating results.—Revenue of the fund will be in both
dollars and local currencies. It is anticipated that the
major portion will be in foreign currencies. Earnings will
be retained to meet future requirements.

PROVISIONS]
[SEC. 102. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act
shall be used for publicity or propaganda purposes within the
United States not heretofore authorized by the Congress.]
[SEC. 103. Payments made from funds appropriated herein for
engineering fees and services to any individual engineering firm on
any one project in excess of $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 shall be reported to the Com-
99
FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT
mittees on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives at least twice annually.]
[SEC. 104. Except for the appropriations entitled "President's
special authority and contingency fund" and "Development loan
fund", not more than 20 per centum of any appropriation item
made available by this Act shall be obligated and/or reserved during
the last month of availability.3
[SEC. 105. The Congress hereby reiterates its opposition to the
seating in the United Nations of the Communist China regime as
the representative of China, and it is hereby declared to be the
continuing sense of the Congress that the Communist regime in
China has not demonstrated its willingness to fulfill the obligations
contained in the Charter of the United Nations and should not be
recognized to represent China in the United Nations. In the event
of the seating of representatives of the Chinese Communist regime
in the Security Council or General Assembly of the United Nations,
the President is requested to inform the Congress insofar as is
compatible with the requirements of national security, of the implications of this action upon the foreign policy of the United States
and our foreign relationships, including that created by membership
in the United Nations, together with any recommendations which
he may have with respect to the matter. J
[SEC. 106. The appropriations and authority with respect thereto
in this Act shall be available from July 1, 1958, for the purposes
provided in such appropriations and authority. All obligations
incurred during the period between June 30, 1958, and the date of
enactment of this Act in anticipation of such appropriations and
authority are hereby ratified and confirmed if in accordance with
the terms hereof.]
[SEC. 107. None of the funds provided by this Act nor any of the
counterpart funds generated as a result of assistance under this Act
or any prior Act shall be used to pay pensions, annuities, retirement
pay or adjusted service compensation for any persons heretofore or
hereafter serving in the armed forces of any recipient country.]
[SEC. 108. Not to exceed 50 per centum of the foreign currencies
heretofore generated in any country under section 402 of the Mutual
Security Act of 1954, as amended, may, notwithstanding prior provisions of law, hereafter be used in accordance with the provisions of
that section: Provided, That quarterly reports of the use of foreign
currencies pursuant to this section shall be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives.] (Mutual Security Appropriation Act, 1959.)
The purpose of this fund is to strengthen the ties which
unite us with other nations by demonstrating the cultural
interests, developments, and achievements of the people
of the United States, and the contributions being made
by the United States economic and social system toward
a peaceful and more fruitful life for its own people and
other people throughout this world.
The Director of the United States Information Agency
serves as coordinator of the following activities. That
Agency publicizes the projects abroad and absorbs the
cost of such publicity and coordination.
1. Trade fairs and exhibitions.—The Department of
Commerce administers this program, which finances
United States exhibits and labor missions at important
international trade fairs and similar exhibitions overseas.
Authorizations for 1958 and 1959 provided for completion
of United States participation in 13 and 14 trade fairs and
exhibitions, respectively. Funds requested for 1960 will
provide for completion of exhibits in 14 trade fairs and
exhibitions in 1960, plus necessary advance planning costs
for 8 exhibits at trade fairs occurring early in 1961.
2. Artistic and athletic presentations.—The Department
of State administers this program, which supports outstanding American cultural attractions appearing abroad.
This support is necessary primarily because of high international transportation costs and itineraries to places
where commercial revenues are inadequate to cover operating expenses. Approved projects, with itineraries reaching all areas of the world, numbered 31 for 1958, and are
estimated at 27 during 1959, and 35 during 1960.
3. Universal and international exhibition of Brussels.—
No estimate is included for this activity inasmuch as the
fair ended in October 1958.

Under proposed legislation, 1960.—Legislation will be
proposed to authorize grants to the State of Alaska (1) to
assist in financing, for a transitional period, functions
transferred to the State from the Federal Government,
and (2) to finance continued Federal operations for an
interim period when the State requests a delay in the
transfer of functions. Federal grants authorized for mental and general health, maintenance of highways, and
operation of airports will be financed under this authorization as well as other transitional expenses. The budgets
for agencies which heretofore financed these functions have
been reduced accordingly. A supplemental appropriation
of $10,500,000 is anticipated for 1960 to finance this
authorization.

Funds are provided under this appropriation to purchase
foreign currencies accruing from the sale of surplus
agricultural commodities abroad for the support of
scientific activities authorized by section 104 (k) of the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of
1954, as amended. The translation program will be
primarily devoted to the translation of Russian scientific
literature by translators located in foreign countries. The
agricultural research will be performed in foreign countries
by specialists and institutions considered competent to
carry on research of interest to the United States but
which can best be undertaken outside the borders of this
country. It is anticipated that continuation of this
program in 1960 will be recommended at a later date.

Title I of the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954 authorizes the sale of up to $6.25
billion of surplus agricultural commodities to friendly
nations for their currencies, with reasonable precautions
neither to displace United States sales for dollars nor to
disrupt unduly world commodity prices. The Commodity Credit Corporation finances the costs. The foreign
currencies generated by these sales may be used (a) to
help develop new markets for United States agricultural
commodities, (b) to purchase strategic and critical materials, (c) to procure military materiel and services for the
common defense, (d) to purchase goods and services for
other friendly nations, (e) to promote balanced economic
development and trade among nations including loans to
American and foreign business firms abroad, (/) to pay
United States obligations abroad, (g) to make loans to

abroad, (h) to finance international education exchange
activities, (i) to translate and publish books and other
publications abroad, (J) to aid American-sponsored
schools, libraries, and binational centers overseas, (k) to
finance the translation of scientific and technical publications and support scientific activities overseas, (l) to
acquire buildings and grounds abroad, (m) to finance
participation in trade fairs and related activities, (n) to
acquire books from abroad, and (o) to aid American
educational institutions abroad and support workshops
and chairs in American studies.
Most of the currencies are used without charge to appropriations; some are sold to appropriations, and the proceeds of such sales go to the Commodity Credit Corporation. A lump-sum appropriation is recommended to reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation for its losses
which are not made up through such sales.
As of June 30, 1959, it is estimated agreements will
have been signed calling for deposits of sales proceeds
totaling $3.8 billion. This will represent the market
value of commodities and ocean transportation in which
the Commodity Credit Corporation investment will be
approximately $5.5 billion. No estimates are included in
this schedule for sales agreements that may be signed
under the proposed legislation increasing title I authorizations by $1.5 billion for the calendar year 1960, nor
for agreements under existing authority signed or approved for negotiation after October 15, 1958. Subsidiary schedules on currency uses are presented in the
chapters of the Departments of State, Defense, and Agriculture, the General Services Administration, the ExportImport Bank, the United States Information Agency,
and under Mutual security and Special foreign currency
programs in this chapter.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1960
Pensions for non-service-connected disability and death
are being paid in a steadily larger number of cases, primarily because of the advancing age of World War I
veterans. The average caseload is expected to be 1,410,000
in 1960, compared with 1,332,000 in 1959. Estimated
payments of $1.2 billion in 1960 are $68 million more than
in 1959.
The total amount of other benefits paid from the appropriation for compensation and pensions is expected to
increase by $12 million in 1959 and $4 million in 1960.
The increase results primarily from new legislation raising
the maximum rate for initial burial allowances from $150
to $250.
A supplemental appropriation of $52.5 million is anticipated for 1959 to cover the presently estimated requirements for compensation, pensions, and related benefits
which are in excess of the amounts already appropriated.
Veterans1 hospitals and medical care.—The new obligational authority of $787 million proposed for 1960 anticipates that inpatient care in Veterans Administration
hospitals will be provided for a daily average of 111,296
patients, approximately two-thirds of whom will be receiving care for conditions not related to their military
service. In addition to its hospitals, the Veterans Administration operates domiciliary homes which will have an
estimated 16,812 members in 1960. It will also pay for
hospital care for an average of 3,138 patients per day in
other hospitals and for approximately one-half the cost
of care for 9,600 veterans in State soldiers' homes.
The budget also provides $84 million in new obligational
authority for 1960 for the operation of outpatient clinics
and for fees to doctors and dentists in cases where clinics
are not available. The dental outpatient program continues to decline but a slight increase in the medical
program is estimated for 1960 as more discharged mental
patients are being treated on an outpatient basis.
New obligational authority of $20 million is recommended for construction, modernization, and repair of
facilities in 1960. Total obligations, however, will be
considerably higher because balances of appropriations
enacted for from prior years are still available and will be
used.
new curricula in the sciences and mathematics, and other
activities to improve science education and to interest
young people in scientific careers are being supported at
the same level.
Conservation and development of land and water resources.—The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation will enter the operation and maintenance phase
of its program when the seaway opens for full 27-footdraft traffic in the spring of 1959. Tolls will be initiated
at that time to cover operating costs and to repay the
United States investment over a 50-year period. The
decline in net expenditures from $17 million in 1959 to
$4 million in 1960 reflects the virtual completion of construction of the navigation facilities.
Legislation is again proposed to permit the Tennessee
Valley Authority to finance construction of additional
power facilities with revenue from the sale of its bonds.
The budget includes a supplemental authorization of $200
million in 1959 under this proposed legislation. Increases
in operating costs and in revenues are estimated in 1960,
reflecting the production and sale of additional power.
Expenditures for capital outlays will decrease because
construction is nearing completion on the new lock at
Wilson Dam and on certain power facilities.
The budget also provides increased funds for 1960 for
the Federal Power Commission in recognition of the
increased workloads connected with licensing non-Federal
power projects and for gas regulatory activities. In
keeping with the administration's policy to increase the
charges for certain special services, legislation will be proposed to collect fees from the natural gas and electric
power industries to reimburse the Government for the
cost of administering the Natural Gas Act and for a
portion of similar costs related to the Federal Power Act.
Promotion of aviation and space flight.—The newly
formed Federal Aviation Agency includes all of the former
Civil Aeronautics Administration, the Airways Modernization Board, and that part of the Civil Aeronautics Board
concerned with the promulgation of safety regulations.
Ultimately, control of all airway traffic, both civil and
military, is to be the responsibility of this agency.

thority of $485 million is recommended for 1960 and a
supplemental appropriation of $45 million is anticipated
for 1959 to permit a greater research and development
effort on advanced space technology, including manned
space flight, and applications of space vehicles in the
fields of meteorology and communications. The Administration will also perform research in support of military
aircraft, missile, and spacecraft programs.
Expenditures for air carrier subsidies are expected to
increase from $58 million in 1959 to $63 million in 1960.
The increased payments are for local service carriers.
Domestic trunklines are not expected to require subsidies
in 1960.
Other aids to business.—New obligational authority of
$205.6 million is recommended for the Small Business
Administration to carry on (1) its regular business and
disaster loan program, (2) the new program of loans to
investment and development companies, (3) the various
procurement, technical, and managerial aids provided for
small business, and the new program of grants for research
on small-business problems. Legislation is being recom-
105
mended to increase the present limitations in the Small
Business Act on appropriations and on outstanding business loans.
The volume of new business loans is expected to increase
in 1959 and 1960 over the 1958 level. New obligational
authority and net expenditures of this program, however,
will decline because repayments of outstanding loans are
accelerating, thus making more capital available for
relending. The loans to investment and development
companies will increase substantially in 1960, the first
full year of operation of the new program.
Regulation of commerce and finance.—The budget provides increased funds for 1960 for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Federal Communications Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and Civil Aeronautics Board. The workload of
these agencies generally increases with the growth of the
economy and the regulated industries. It is recommended
that fees charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission be increased, in accordance with the President's
general policy to charge for special services.

The Commission procures raw materials; manufactures
special nuclear materials and atomic weapons; develops
improved weapons; conducts research and development
aimed at generation of atomic power and protection of
health against possible hazards arising from atomic energy
operations; conducts investigations in the physical and
life sciences related to atomic energy, including investigation of controlled thermonuclear reactions; establishes
and enforces regulations for civilian uses of atomic energy;
promotes industrial participation in atomic energy
development for peaceful purposes; encourages scientific
and industrial progress through the dissemination of information under the terms of the Atomic Energy Act of
OFFICES
129
1954, as amended; and participates in programs of international cooperation in peaceful applications of atomic
energy.
The program is administered in the field through 12
major offices. Most of the Commission's activities are
carried on in Government-owned facilities by industrial
concerns and educational institutions operating under
contracts. Coordination with the armed services is
achieved through the Military Liaison Committee of the
Department of Defense.
Net program costs in 1960 are estimated at $2,501.5
million, or 3.6% greater than the estimated 1959 net costs
of $2,414.9 million, and 19.3% greater than actual net
costs of $2,096.9 million for 1958. In 1960, the major
increase is for the procurement of larger quantities of raw
materials. Other increases occur in civilian and military
power and propulsion reactor development, in research in
the physical, biological, and medical fields, and for isotope
development.
In 1960, as in 1958 and 1959, obligational requirements
exceed net program costs, the difference being obligations
incurred for which costs will not materialize until future
years. The obligations for operating expenses in 1960
total $2,520 million compared to $2,454.2 million in 1959
and $2,174.2 million in 1958.
Included in estimated obligations for 1959 is $4 million
requiring authorization prior to use for a research and
development program in cooperation with the European
Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) which was authorized by the Euratom Cooperation Act of 1958.
Additional obligations in the amount of $23.5 million
are estimated for 1960. An amendment to the Euratom
Cooperation Act of 1958 to authorize appropriation of the
1959 and 1960 amounts will be proposed. A supplemental
appropriation of $23.5 million for 1960 (see Proposed for
later transmission) is anticipated after the additional
authorization has been enacted.
1. Raw materials.—Uranium ores and concentrates are
procured for processing in the production facilities of the
Commission. An estimated 35,835 tons of concentrates
will be obtained in 1960, an increase of 2,705 tons over the
33,130 tons estimated to be procured in 1959. Procurement in 1960 will be approximately evenly divided
between domestic and foreign sources. Resource evaluation will continue in the development of data on uranium
reserves.
2. Special nuclear materials.—Uranium concentrates are
processed into feed materials from which (a) plutonium is
produced in the reactors at Hanford, Wash., and Savannah
River, S. C., or (b) the isotope uranium-235 is extracted in
plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio. As production of feed and special nuclear
materials increases, the gains in output will be accompanied by lower unit processing costs. Work will continue
on process improvement to reduce production costs, increase yields, and improve the quality of products.
3. Weapons.—This program encompasses the production of weapons; the development and design of new
weapon types; the storage, maintenance, and custody of
stockpiled weapons; the maintenance of test areas; and
the development and demonstration of nonmilitary uses
for nuclear explosives (project Plowshare). Additional
production capacity will be in operation in 1960, and
production of weapons will continue at the level established in 1959. The 1960 budget provides only for maintenance of weapons test sites on the assumption that an
agreement to suspend nuclear weapons testing will be
successfully concluded.

The Commission's civilian power reactor program provides a foundation of technical knowledge through a
program of research and development on promising
reactor concepts; design, fabrication, and operation of
power reactor experiments; the development of experimental reactors; and development of prototype powerplants usually on a cooperative basis with industry.
Through the cooperative arrangements program, the
Commission provides financial aid in the development of
full-scale power reactors built by private industry and
public power bodies. This aid provides a basis for a
privately financed nuclear power industry.
Costs shown for Euratom are for research and development under a joint program with Euratom for which
$3 million was appropriated in 1959. Upon authorization
by the Congress of additional appropriations for this
cooperative program, a supplemental appropriation of
$23.5 million is anticipated (see Proposed for later transmission); of this amount, $8 million would be shown
as reactor development program costs in 1960.
To provide broad support primarily for civilian power
reactor projects, the Commission's programs include general research and development on materials, moderators,
control techniques, fuel elements, spent fuel reprocessing,
radioactive residues, and reactor safety. Some of this
work is also applicable to military reactor development.
Substantial increases are provided for developing improved
fuel elements, reactor systems, and reactor safety to
accelerate development of economic power.
The Commission's program for 1960 includes the continuation of work to develop atomic powerplants for use
in commercial vessels, and particularly for the nuclearpowered merchant ship, the N. S. Savannah, now under
construction.
In the military reactor programs, efforts will be continued to develop reactors to meet requirements of the
Department of Defense. These include propulsion reactors for submarines, surface combatant ships, military
aircraft and missiles and transportable powerplants for
the generation of electric power and heat in satellites and
at remote military installations. Development of a new
improved reactor concept for naval ship propulsion will be
started. Many of the advances in military reactor devel-
opment contribute significantly to the civilian power
program.
The Commission also operates the National Keactor
Testing Station in Idaho, including two test reactors which
provide irradiation services for the Commission's programs and for private industry on a reimbursable basis.
5. Physical research.—Basic and long-range investigations in the fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry,
and metallurgy are undertaken to provide an ever-expanding fund of theoretical and practical knowledge in
fields related to nuclear energy. Approximately 90 particb
accelerators, ranging in energy- from several thousand
electron-volts to several billion electron-volts, are utilized
in the program. Research and development directed
toward the production of power from the controlled fusion
of heavy hydrogen nuclei (project Sherwood) will continue. Approximately 72% of the cost of research is
for work done in Commission laboratories and 28% is
for work contracted to about 100 universities and other
independent institutions.
6. Biology and medicine.—Research is conducted on the
effect of radiation on living things. It includes investigations of the biological effects of radioactivity in the body
and the development of methods for minimizing exposure
to radioactive materials of all kinds and for minimizing
and protecting against the injurious effects of radiation.
Support is given to the development of methods of utilizing
radioactive materials for human welfare, and to the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of human diseases,
such as cancer. Evaluation of the significance of human
exposure to radioactivity from all sources is given special
emphasis. Standards are established to insure that the
Commission's activities are conducted with safety to both
employees and the public.
The major portion of the research is carried on at 16
laboratories which are owned by or operated for the
Commission, and the remainder, approximately 550 projects, is supported in more than 220 universities, colleges,
hospitals, and independent laboratories. The program
includes the operation of several facilities in the United
States devoted to cancer research and two laboratories in
Japan for the determination of long-term effects of atomic
bombs on the population.
7. Training, education, and information.—This activity
includes operation of special schools; conduct of specialized courses; granting of fellowships for graduate students;
assistance* to high schools, colleges, and universities; and
dissemination of technical information, including participation in international conferences and exhibits on nuclear
science and technology.
Three schools will be operated in 1960: The International Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering at
the Argonne National Laboratory, the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, and the new Puerto Rico Training Center. In addition, specialized courses including
radiochemical and counting procedures and reactor hazards and supervisory instruction will be offered at the
New York Health and Safety Laboratory and the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory and the Shippingport reactor
site.
Under the fellowship program in 1960, approximately
150 college graduates will receive assistance for graduate
studies in nuclear energy technology. Other fellowships
will be offered in the fields of radiological physics, industrial hygiene, and industrial medicine.
Assistance to schools to provide for educational programs in atomic energy will be continued. Grants will
be made to universities to help them acquire reactor train-
INDEPENDENT OFFICES
ing equipment, teaching aids, demonstration apparatus,
and special laboratory equipment. University summer
courses in general radiobiology will be made available to
high school science teachers, and special faculty training
in reactor technology and radiobiology for university
faculty members will be provided.
To broaden the dissemination of information on matters
relating to atomic energy, the Commission operates the
technical information service and the American Museum
of Atomic Energy at Oak Ridge, maintains libraries, performs translation services, and conducts tours with traveling atomic energy exhibits. The Commission will arrange
in 1960 for nuclear exhibits at selected foreign conferences
and exhibitions in order to demonstrate United States
technology.
8. Isotopes development.—This program is to provide
for additional development of practical applications for
use of radioisotopes in medicine, agriculture, and industry.
The Commission will participate in research and development projects with industrial and research organizations
to exploit the practical application of radioisotopes and
applied radiation to industrial products, processes, and
manufacturing methods. Instruction in radiation technology will be supported through the provision of equipment grants required for laboratory facilities, the offering
of summer institutes for industrial personnel at universities, and the presentation of a basic training course in
industrial applications of radioisotopes at the Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies.
9. Community.—The Commission operates 3 towns—
Oak Ridge, Tenn.; Richland, Wash.; and Los Alamos,
N. Mex.—with an estimated total population in 1960 of
69,000, and provides limited community services at other
locations. Legislation has been enacted to terminate
Government ownership and operation of Oak Ridge and
Richland. The city of Richland was incorporated on
December 2, 1958, and establishment of a city government
at Oak Ridge is anticipated during calendar year 1959.
As these city governments assume their normal responsibilities, the transfer of United States Government property
and service functions will be effected. Accordingly, the
1960 estimates are based on anticipated disposal of a
major portion of Atomic Energy Commission-owned real
estate by the end of 1959 with resultant reductions in requirements for property maintenance and in revenues.
The estimates also include costs associated with the disposal program and provide for assistance payments to the
community hospital at Richland, which has been transferred to a private nonprofit organization, and the Richland school district. Since real estate revenues normally
exceed operating costs by a substantial amount, the loss
in revenue as a result of property sales together with the
costs of disposal will result in an estimated excess of costs
over revenues of $4.6 million in 1960. This relation between costs and revenue, which are included under revenues applied, is indicated in the following table:

10. Program direction and administration.—In addition
to general management, this activity includes the negotiation and administration of contracts, and the establishment
and enforcement of regulations for civilian uses of atomic
energy, including the issuance of licenses. Administrative
activities represent 2% of total program costs in 1960
compared to 2% in 1959 and 2.2% in 1958. The increase
131
of $2.2 million provides for higher average employment
and, for the first time, a full year's cost of maintenance
and operation of the expanded Germantown headquarters.
11. Security investigations.—The Atomic Energy Act
of 1954 requires background investigations of those persons proposed for access to restricted data of the atomic
energy program whether employed by the Commission,
its contractors, or other Government agencies. The
number of full background investigations to be completed
is estimated at 22,450 for 1960, compared with 23,076 for
1959 and 26,556 for 1958.
12. Other costs.—In furthering the objectives of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 concerning the utilization of
atomic energy for peaceful purposes, the Commission
furnishes materials and services, apart from those which
it provides normally for its own basic programs, to industrial organizations and other private parties. Costs for
these are incurred only upon the request of others.
Charges made for such products and services are included
under Revenues applied as a reduction in determining the
appropriations required. The items included are:

OPERATING
The increase in 1959 over 1958 results from an increase in inventories attributable to higher levels in
stores, special reactor materials and isotopes inventories
based on program requirements and from an increase in
unpaid undelivered orders as a result of the general rise in
program levels, particularly in the reactor development
program. The increase in 1960 over 1959 is attributable
primarily to an increase in unpaid undelivered orders based
on higher operating levels for the reactor development program and to funding under this category $7 million of
the total 1959 authorization of $20 million for new
proposals under the cooperative arrangements program.
15. Equipment not included in construction projects.—
Equipment not included in construction projects is
budgeted for and costed as part of the individual operating
programs, and, therefore, such costs are included in the
amounts shown for each program on the program and
financing schedule.

amounts for projects for which legislative authorization
will be sought for 1960 but which has not yet been received.
A supplemental appropriation of $126 million is anticipated for these projects after appropriations are authorized
(see Proposed for later transmission).
1. Raw materials.—This activity provides for minor
construction to support the Government-owned procurement installations.
2. Special nuclear materials.—This activity provides for
additions, modifications, and improvements to the feed
materials plants, the gaseous diffusion plants, and the
production reactor installations. Obligational authority
requested in 1960 will provide funding for previously
authorized projects.
3. Weapons.—This activity provides for the construction and modification of facilities for the production of
weapons, for the storage of completed weapons, and for the
development and engineering of new weapon types.
4. Reactor development.—This activity provides for the
construction of laboratory buildings for fundamental engineering work on reactor concepts and materials, facilities
for the housing of reactor experiments, civilian power
experimental reactors generating electrical energy or producing over 10,000 kilowatts of heat, prototype power
reactors as part of the cooperative arrangements program
between the Commission and industry, prototype reactors
for military purposes, and construction of testing and
development installations. Obligational authority requested in 1960 provides for (a) modifications to civilian
133
power reactor experiments and (6) continued construction
of a land prototype reactor for a destroyer.
5. Physical research.—This activity provides for
construction of large research machines and laboratory
buildings to further research in physics, chemistry, and
metallurgy. It includes construction of ultra-high energy
particle accelerators in the multibillion electron-volt range
which will assist in obtaining new knowledge about the
atomic nucleus and the elementary particles. Obligational authority requested in 1960 provides funding for
projects previously authorized including the multibillion
electron-volt accelerator at the Argonne National Laboratory, the alternating gradient synchrotron at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and accelerator improvements
at the University of California Radiation Laboratory.
6. Biology and medicine.-—This activity provides for
construction of research facilities for atomic research in
the fields of medicine, biology, and biophysics.
7. Training, education and information.-—This activity
provides for construction of minor facilities in connection
with the Commission's training program.
8. Isotopes development.—This activity provides for construction of facilities for research and development activities directed toward accelerating realization of the potential of radioisotopes.
9. Communities.—This activity provides for construction of community facilities in the Commission-operated
towns of Richland, Wash., Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Los
Alamos, N. Mex.
10. Administration.—This activity provides for construction necessary to house the administrative activities
of the Commission at headquarters and in the field.

Any appropriation available under this or any other Act to the
Atomic Energy Commission may initially be used subject to limitations in this Act during the fiscal year [ 1 9 5 9 ] 1960 to finance the
procurement of materials, services, or other costs which are a part
of work or activities for which funds have been provided in any
other appropriation available to the Commission: Provided, That
appropriate transfers or adjustments between such appropriations
shall subsequently be made for such costs on the basis of actual
application determined in accordance with [general] generally accepted accounting principles.
Not to exceed 5 per centum of any appropriation herein made to
the Atomic Energy Commission may be transferred to any other
such appropriation, but no such appropriation shall be increased by
more than 5 per centum by any such transfers, and any such transfers shall be reported promptly to the Appropriations Committees
of the House and Senate.
No part of any appropriation herein made to the Atomic Energy
Commission shall be used to confer a fellowship on any person who
advocates or who is a member of an organization or party that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States by
force or violence or with respect to whom the Commission finds,
upon investigation and report by the Civil Service Commission on
the character, associations, and loyalty of whom, that reasonable
grounds exist for belief that such person is disloyal to the Government of the United States: Provided, That any person who advocates or who is a member of an organization or party that advocates

Under proposed legislation, 1960.—New obligational authority in the amount of $126 million is anticipated after
congressional consideration of the Commission's request
for authorization of additional appropriations for construction. Of this amount, $65.6 million is expected to
be proposed for improvements and additions to existing
production plants to increase production and safety and
decrease unit costs, and for additional weapons production and development facilities. Proposed also are $35.4
million for facilities related to reactor development including 2 army power reactors, modifications for 2 test
reactors, and test facilities for missile propulsion; $18
million for research facilities in the physical, biological
and medical fields, including a new large research reactor;
$3.4 million for facilities for the isotope development program; and $3.6 million for other projects under supporting
programs.

The Board regulates the economic aspects of air carrier
operations, both domestic and international; investigates
aircraft accidents; participates in the development of
international air transportation; and participates in the
development of safety rules and standards. The increase
proposed for 1960 is for continuing on a full-year basis
the staff increases authorized in 1959 and for additional
expansion in certain critical program areas, primarily in
the routes, commercial rates, international civil aviation,
enforcement and safety areas.
1. Economic regulation.—This includes granting certificates of public convenience and necessity; prescribing or
approving rates and rate practices of air carriers; fixing
mail rate compensation; prevention of unfair competition;
and approval of business relationships between air
carriers.
2. Safety activities.—These consist of adjudication of
complaints alleging violations of Civil Air Regulations;
the investigation of civil aircraft accidents involving
aircraft of over 12,500 pounds or causing fatalities, the
determination of probable cause in all civil aircraft
accidents; and the investigation of potential hazards and
recommendation of preventive measures to avoid accidents
in the future.
3. Legal staff activities.—Legal advice and assistance is
provided on all aspects of economic, regulatory and
safety activities; opinions of the Board are prepared; and
litigation matters are handled.

A small payment will be made to one
domestic trunkline in 1960 for 1959
subsidy earnings. Subsidy need for
local service and helicopter operations
has increased as a result of certification
of n e w feeder services and increasing
, costs.
Subsidy will continue to support routes
between continental United States and
Alaska and to remote locations.
All international carriers have been in a
nonsubsidized status since 1957, with
the exception of Braniff Airways' services to South America.

The Board fixes rates for transportation of airmail to
promote the development of air transportation required
for the commerce of the United States, the postal service,
and the national defense. Many of these rates include
an element of subsidy. The subsidy portion is paid by
the Civil Aeronautics Board, and the service portion is
paid by the Post Office Department.
The increase proposed for 1960 is primarily for the local
service carrier group and reflects additional increased
operating costs, estimated additional route awards, and
costs associated with the acquisition of new aircraft.
Subsidy requirements of Alaskan operations will not be
affected by^statehood.

1. Recruiting and examining.—Most appointments in
the competitive civil service are made under the open
competitive merit system through examinations held by
the offices of the Commission and its boards of examiners,
made up of agency personnel operating under the supervision and direction of the Commission. Appointments
through such competitive examinations will accord career
or career-conditional status. Although total Federal
employment will decline somewhat from the 1958 level,
new hires will increase in 1959 and 1960 as the turnover
rate increases slightly from the unusually low experience
of last year. The number of competitive placements is
also expected to increase as the amount of direct agency
hiring decreases from 53,846 in 1958 to 31,200 in 1960.
Physically handicapped persons are given special placement attention. Veterans are aided in securing the
benefits to which they are entitled. An employees'
incentive awards program is conducted to stimulate and
pursue the development of new and improved methods
and ideas.

compliance with civil service laws and regulations and to
stimulate improvement in personnel practices. It also
conducts classification surveys to insure compliance with
classification standards.
4. Administration of the retirement systems—Administering the Civil Service Eetirement Act and other benefit
acts involves adjudicating annuity, death, benefit, refund,
and deposit claims as well as maintaining the control
accounts for the fund and making payments to annuitants
and other claimants. Public Law 85-465, approved June
25, 1958, providing for annuities to certain widows and
widowers, will increase the number of death claims received in 1959. Funds available for 1959 will finance the
workloads shown below. However, a much larger workload is anticipated and a supplemental to cover it is
proposed for later transmission.

The Export-Import Bank of Washington facilitates the
financing of United States exports and imports. To do
this it participates in or guarantees credits extended by
United States exporters, commercial banks, and other
financial institutions to foreign purchasers of exports from
the United States. It makes direct loans to finance United
States exports and imports. It also insures certain exports on consignment against risks of war and expropriation. The total amount of loans, guaranties, and insurance which the Bank may have outstanding at one time is
$7 billion (12 U. S. C. 635).
The Bank's policy is to extend credit only when private
capital is unavailable. It encourages private participation in the credits extended. Loans generally are made
only for specific purposes or projects. No loan is made
unless the Directors believe it has reasonable assurance of
repayment.
Budget programs—Development project loans.—A major
portion of the Bank's assistance for the exportation of
United States materials, equipment, and services is in the
form of medium and longer term credits for development
projects abroad. These loans not only finance export
sales, but lay the foundation for expanded future trade
as foreign economies become stronger. It is estimated
that 58 loans will be authorized by the Bank during 1960
to finance exports for such projects abroad involving
power, agriculture, transportation, and industrial development.

Exporter loans.—Medium-term credits requested by
exporters are authorized on a case-by-case basis to assist
United States manufacturers and exporters to sell abroad
on deferred payments. Under each of these credits the
Bank participates with an exporter or a United States
bank in jointly financing an export sale. Such loans
authorized in 1958 included credits to finance a wide
range of capital goods shipped to countries throughout
the world.
Some exporter credits are arranged on an individual
basis, whereas others are provided under exporter credit
lines. The Bank has continued to establish and renew
exporter credit lines for individual exporters of capital
equipment. The recipient of such a line knows in advance
of new foreign sales how much assistance he will be able to
obtain for such sales as are made on credit, provided that
criteria on the type of export and the credit standing of
the importer are met.

Emergency foreign trade loans.—From time to time the
Bank is called upon to provide financial assistance to meet
emergency situations adversely affecting normal trade
between the United States and another country. Such
loans may take the form of lines of credit to a foreign
central bank or other bank or financial institution to
provide dollar exchange for a wide range of United States
exports; credits to fund commercial arrearages resulting
from dollar exchange difficulties; or credits to assist in
financing purchases in the United States required for
reconstruction abroad following a national disaster. The
estimate of emergency credits for 1959 is $221 million,
and $220 million for 1960.
INDEPENDENT OFFICES
Substantial emergency credits to European countries
were disbursed during the years immediately following
World War II, and have been established in favor of some
Latin American countries following the recent decline in
earnings by raw material exporting countries.

Insurance.—The Bank insures against the risks of war
and expropriation the property of United States exporters
which is held abroad on consignment awaiting sale. A
total of 1,194 policies were issued by the Bank in 1958
covering 246,681 bales of cotton valued at $41,794,979.
Early in 1959 the coverage was expanded to include
tobacco. It is estimated that policies covering cotton and
tobacco to a value of $50,000,000 will be issued in 1960.
Administrative expenses.—The administrative expense
limitation proposed by the Bank to cover its needs for
1960 is $2,500,000, an increase of $284,553 over 1959.
The estimated additional costs are for personal services
and other administrative costs attributable to expanded
operations.
Other operations.—The Bank serves as administering
agent for mutual security loans and guaranties against
currency transfer risk and expropriation authorized by
the International Cooperation Administration and for
defense production loans made by the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization. It also acts as collecting agent for
the Treasury on the debt settlement agreement with the
Federal Republic of Germany.
Financing.—The Bank is a Government-owned corporation in which the Treasury has invested $1 billion in
capital stock. It can borrow up to $6 billion from the
Treasury on a revolving basis. On June 30, 1958, the
amount borrowed from the Treasury was $1,508 million.
Notes outstanding on June 30, 1960, are expected to be
increased to $1,802.8 million.
On June 30, 1960, the total amount committed is estimated to be $5,404.5 million, leaving a margin of $1,595.5
million for additional commitments. It is estimated that
the unobligated balance at June 30, 1960, of the Bank's
authorization to borrow from the Treasury will be $2,551.3

Operating results and financial condition.—During 1960
the net income of the Bank is expected to amount to
$87.6 million. The budget provides for continuation of
dividend payments to Treasury of $22.5 million annually
through 1960 in lieu of interest on the Treasury investment in the Bank's capital stock. The remaining earn-
145
ings are retained to meet future contingencies. Net investment of the Government in the corporation is expected to be $3,436.7 million at the end of 1960, consisting
of $1 billion in capital stock, $1,802.8 million of borrowings
from Treasury, and $633.9 million of retained earnings,
available for future contingencies.
It is anticipated that the Bank's loan disbursements
and other payments will exceed loan collections and other
receipts by $250 million in 1959. In 1960 it is estimated
that collections and sales of loans will equal disbursements resulting in no net budget expenditure.

The Export-Import Bank administers foreign currency
loans to American firms for business development, and to
domestic or foreign firms for facilities aiding in tne utilization of United States agricultural products abroad.
These loans are made from a share of the proceeds of the
sale abroad of surplus agricultural commodities as authorized by the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended (7 U. S. C. 1691-1724).
This program was initiated in 1958. Currencies are
now available under sales agreements signed over the past
year for lending in substantial volume. A moderate
increase is anticipated for 1960 as currencies become
available under additional sales agreements.

The Corporation is in liquidation, its only remaining
activity being the collection of non-interest-bearing notes
sold to Federal land banks on June 30, 1955, and paying
the proceeds as dividends to Treasury. Its mineral
interests with the exception of two in the St. Paul district
which are in litigation, were transferred to the Department of the Interior during 1958.
Operating results.—The retained earnings at the end of
1960, after making dividend payments to the Treasury of
$1.7 million, are expected to be $4.1 million. Payments
will continue to be made to the Treasury until final liquidation.

Financing applied to program
This fund is available to Farm Credit Administration
as a revolving fund for investment in capital stock of the
Federal intermediate credit banks (12 U. S. C. 1061 (a) (1),
113li (e)).
Budget program.—Funds will be required for investment
in class A stock of the banks. The estimate of requirements is based on recent projections made by the 12
intermediate credit banks which indicate that several of
the banks will need additional capital in order to keep
their debt-to-capital ratios within the 10 to 1 maximum
permitted by law.
Financing.—Purchases of stock will continue to be made
out of the current authorization of $40,000,000. Under
section 105 (d) (3) of the Farm Credit Act of 1956, the
revolving fund authorization eventually will be increased
to $70,000,000. The increase of $30,000,000 will be made
available from the retirement of class A stock outstanding
as of January 1, 1957. However, of the $87,405,000 of
class A stock outstanding as of January 1, 1957, $57,405,000 must first be paid into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts; when the balance is reduced to
$30,000,000 the remaining proceeds will be credited to
the revolving fund.

[ N o t to exceed $1,693,000 (to be computed on an accrual basis)
of the funds of the banks shall be available for administrative
expenses for the six months ending December 31, 1958, including
the purchase of not to exceed one passenger motor vehicle for replacement only and services performed for the banks by other
Government agencies (except services and facilities furnished and
examinations made by the Farm Credit Administration, and services performed by any Federal Reserve bank and by the United
States Treasury in connection with the financial transactions of the
banks); and said total sum shall be exclusive of interest expense,
legal and special services performed on a contract or fee basis, and
expenses in connection with the acquisition, operation, maintenance,
improvement, protection, or disposition of real or personal property
belonging to the banks or in which they have an interest.3 (12
TJ. S. C. 1021; Department of Agriculture and Farm Credit Administration Appropriation Act, 1959.)
This fund is available to the Governor of Farm Credit
Administration for investment in class A and class C stock
of production credit associations and is designed to enable
the Farm Credit Administration to supply capital needs
which cannot be met by an association from local sources
(12 U. S. C. 1131i (a)).
Budget program.—An estimate for purchase of stock in
production credit associations of $6 million is made for
both 1959 and 1960. The need arises primarily because
the volume of business of associations is increasing more
rapidly than net worth can be accumulated from local
sources.
Financing.—Of the $60,000,000 in the fund authorized
for financing the capital needs of the production credit
associations, it is estimated that $9,310,000 will have been
invested by the end of 1959. An additional $4,000,000
net investment in the associations is expected in 1960,
leaving an unobligated balance of $46,690,000 available
for future purchases of stock.

FEDERAL AVIATION AGENCY
The Federal Aviation Agency was created by the Federal Aviation Act of 1958. Its functions include the
promotion and regulation of civil aviation through (a)
management of the use of navigable airspace and the
regulation of both civil and military operations in such
airspace; (6) installation and operation of aids to air
navigation and traffic control for civil and military aircraft; (c) the conduct of research to develop facilities
required to modernize the systems and devices used in
assuring safety in aviation; (d) certification as to the competency of airmen and the airworthiness of aircraft; (e)
development of standards and rules designed to promote
safety; and (f) the administration of grants for airport
construction.
The new agency came into existence on August 23,
1958. It has since assumed the functions of the Civil
Aeronautics Administration and the Airways Modernization Board. It has also assumed the responsibilities of
the Civil Aeronautics Board relating to the promulgation
of air safety regulations. Further transfers, chiefly relating to the control of military air traffic, are anticipated
but have not been developed to the point where they can
1)0 reflected in the budget.

1. Traffic management and facilities maintenance.—This
is a program of maintaining and operating, 24 hours daily,
a national network of aids to air navigation and traffic
control along the primary air routes and at principal
airports in the continental United States, its Territories
and possessions. Major increases in 1960 are for (a)
handling workload generated by increased air traffic;
(ib) operating newly commissioned radar, navigation aids,
and other airways facilities procured and installed with
funds appropriated under Establishment of air navigation
facilities; (c) training of traffic control and maintenance
personnel; and (d) full-year costs of facilities and services
operated on a part-year basis in 1958.
2. Research direction.—This covers direction and administration of an accelerated research and development program for improving the national system of aviation facilities.
3. Flight operations and airworthiness.—Inspections and
certifications are made of aircraft, airmen, and operators
of aircraft and air agencies, including the establishment of
the civil air regulations which are designed to provide safe
and competent operation of aircraft. Increases in 1960
are for handling workload incident to the increased volume
of flying and the introduction of new types of aircraft.
4. Administration of airport program.—This activity includes costs of administering grants for airport construction; inspection of airport facilities to determine their
utility and to assure compliance with law and regulations;
and the provision of advisory services on airport design
and engineering.

Grants are made to local sponsors for construction at
airports which are part of a national system capable of
meeting the needs of civil aviation and nontactical military
operations. Authorizations of $465.8 million have been
provided for the years 1947 through 1959. New legislation will be proposed to provide additional authority for
subsequent years with provision for an orderly withdrawal
from the program by 1964. The following tabulation

While the program is financed by direct appropriation,
the airport earns revenues for services to tenants and other
users, including other Government agencies. Financial
statements shown below relate to both this appropriation
and to the construction appropriation. They reflect
total operations by including in revenues amounts representing the value of unrealized revenues for services
furnished other Government agencies which will not be
billed or collected, such as landing fees for Government
aircraft and rental for office and hangar space. Similarly,
total costs reflect unfunded depreciation on all depreciable
assets and interest on the Government's investments on a
basis comparable to that of other major metropolitan
airports. Legislation will be introduced to establish a
Federal corporation to operate this airport.

Agency has additional pay cost requirements of $2,515,000.
Of this amount $1,015,000 is attributable to engineering
pay raise pursuant to Civil Service Commission department circular 793, supplement 33, dated December 9,
1957, and $1,500,000 is to cover the cost of reclassification
of air traffic controllers. The Agency anticipates absorbing $2,000,000 of this cost, leaving a net requirement of
$515,000.

The Federal Communications Commission regulates
interstate and foreign commerce in communications by
wire and radio. The Communications Act requires the
Commission to attain and maintain maximum benefits
for the people of the United States in the use of the radio
spectrum and to regulate the rates and services of communications common carriers. Growth in workloads
coupled with the needed reduction in time lag between
dates of receipt and dates when applications are reached
for consideration require an increase in manpower for 1960.
1. Applied technical research and frequency allocation.—
This activity provides the Commission with the basic
information for determining the best utilization of the
radio spectrum. To permit the Commission to discharge
these technical functions some work will be performed by
contract.
2. Broadcast activities.—This activity includes the licensing and regulation of standard broadcast (AM),
frequency modulation (FM), television (TV), and other
related services. Pertinent data are shown in the following table:

The Corporation insures accounts of depositors in
insured banks up to $10,000. As of June 23, 1958, the
deposit insurance fund for the protection of depositors
amounted to $1.9 billion or 1.48% of all insured deposits
on that date. Total insured deposits at year end amounted
to $118.9 billion in 1957 and $128.7 billion in 1958, and are
estimated at $134 billion in 1959 and $139 billion in 1960.
No tax funds are used in its operations. Its expenses are
paid and the fund is accumulated from assessments paid
by insured banks and from income on investments in
obligations of the U. S. Treasury. However, the Corporation is authorized to borrow from the Treasury, not to
exceed $3 billion outstanding at any one time, as required
for insurance purposes. No borrowings under this
authorization have been made to date and none are
anticipated in 1959 or 1960.
CORPORATIONS
The following corporations and agencies, respectively, are hereby
authorized to make such expenditures, within the limits of funds
and borrowing authority available to each such corporation or
agency and in accord with law, and to make such contracts and
commitments without regard to fiscal year limitations as provided
by section 104 of the Government Corporation Control Act, as
amended, as may be necessary in carrying out the programs set
forth in the budget for the fiscal year [ 1 9 5 9 ] 1960 for each such

The three-member Board supervises the Federal home
loan bank system, the system of Federal savings and loan
associations, and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (12 U. S. C. 1421 et seq., 1461 et seq.,
and 1464 et seq.). Net administrative expenses of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board are paid from assessments against the 11 Federal home loan banks, the
division of examinations, and the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation.
4. Examining savings and loan associations.—Supervisory examinations are made of Federal savings and loan
associations, State-chartered associations insured by the
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and
such uninsured member institutions of the Federal home
loan bank system as are not examined by State examiners.
Audits are also made of approximately 70% of all insured
institutions in conjunction with supervisory examinations.
Examinations are also made of institutions applying for
insurance of accounts and for conversion from a State to
a Federal charter when required by the Board. The costs
of examinations and audits are assessed against the institutions examined.
5. Executive direction and staff services.—This includes
formulation of basic policy and the furnishing of staff
services that are common to the Board and the insurance
corporation.
6. Administrative services.—These consist of auditing;
accounting; budgetary and financial reporting; internal
budget control; fiscal organization and management; and
general housekeeping and common operating services,
including printing and reproduction work.
The amounts shown in the schedules for the above
activities include administrative expenses under annual
limitation, nonadministrative expenses under a separate
limitation, and certain additional expenses not under limitation. Administrative expenses are estimated to increase
from $1,729,000 to $1,900,000 reflecting staff increases
and related costs to meet increasing workload. Nonadministrative expenses covering the expenses of examining savings and loan associations are discussed separately
below.
Relation of costs to obligations.—The relationship is derived by year-end balances of selected resources as reflected

Budget program.—The Board's budget is based on six
activities.
1. Examination and supervision of Federal home loan
banks.—The Board supervises and examines the operations of the Federal home loan banks.
2. Supervision of Federal and State-chartered institutions.—The financial condition and operations of each insured institution is analyzed and corrective action is
instituted when warranted. Supervision of insured institutions operating under State charter is carried on, cooperatively, under arrangements made with the respective
State authorities.
3. Chartering savings and loan associations.—Federal
savings and loan associations are chartered and regulated.
In addition, applications of State-chartered associations
for conversion into Federal savings and loan associations
are examined.

loan associations, of State-chartered savings and loan associations and other institutions of the savings and loan type
which are insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and of noninsured member institutions
of the Federal Home Loan Bank system that are not subject to State supervision. The Division also examines
and analyzes the financial condition of institutions which
apply for membership in the system, for insurance of accounts or for conversion from a State to a Federal charter.
The institutions examined bear the costs of examination,
and the fees charged therefor are calculated to defray all
of the operating expenses of the Division.

The Federal home loan banks, together with the savings
and loan associations and similar institutions which are
members of the banks, constitute the Federal home loan
bank system, are designed to stabilize and strengthen
institutions promoting private thrift and individual home
ownership.
The 11 Federal home loan banks obtain their funds from
capital stock, issuance of their own obligations, and deposits of member institutions. The capital stock of the
banks consists entirely of subscriptions of member institutions. Authority to borrow from the Treasury in the
amount of $1 billion is provided in 12 U. S. C. 1431
(64 Stat. 257). No borrowings have been made to date
and none is anticipated in 1960.

The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation is
authorized under title IV of the National Housing Act
(12 U. S. C. 1724 et seq.) to insure savings in all Federal
savings and loan associations and in State-chartered institutions of the savings and loan type which apply and are
approved for insurance. The protection thus afforded,
which insures savers in member associations against
financial loss up to a statutory limit of $10,000, may be
provided through the prevention of default or the payment of insurance to savings account holders in the event
of liquidation. The former course of action, which results
in complete protection to each investor regardless of the
amount in his account, is accomplished by making cash
grants or by purchasing all or a part of the association's
assets. Also, the Corporation is authorized to make
loans to institutions in financial difficulty. Wherever
possible, preventive measures are taken to eliminate the
necessity of liquidation. However, in the event liquidation
is necessary, the Corporation acts as receiver for all
federally chartered associations and may act as receiver
or coreceiver upon request of State authority in cases
involving State-chartered institutions.
The Corporation functions under direction of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board, which provides certain
administrative services and conducts the examination
and supervision of insured institutions. The expenses of
the Board and its staff offices are paid from assessments
made on the Corporation, the Federal home loan banks,
and the division of examinations.

3. Natural gas industry.—Regulation covers the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate
commerce, and the rates, accounts, and depreciation and
depletion practices. Certificates of public convenience
and necessity are issued to those natural-gas companies
subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. Statistics
about the natural-gas industry are gathered and published.
In calendar year 1957, there were approximately 10,000
independent producers. There were also 93 regulated
natural-gas pipeline companies, with operating revenues
of $3.3 billion. It is estimated that the number of
independent producers and pipeline companies will remain
substantially unchanged in 1958 and 1959. However,
the operating revenues of the pipeline companies are
expected to increase to $3.5 billion and $3.8 billion,
respectively. Other pertinent data are:

1. Antimonopoly.—All types of monopolistic restrictions, including price-fixing conspiracies, boycotting, price
discriminations, and illegal mergers and acquisitions are
corrected; economic criteria are brought to bear on
monopoly problems; and supervision is provided over the
registration and operations of associations of American
exporters engaged solely in export trade. In 1960 field
investigation and trial of merger and other antimonopoly
cases will be expedited.
2. Deceptive practices.—False and misleading advertising
and other unfair or deceptive practices are prevented by
corrective action, including the affirmative aid of voluntary trade-practice conferences and advertising guides;
business and the public are protected from the evils of misbranding and nondisclosure of fiber content of manufactured wool products and household textile articles; consumers and merchants are protected from unfair practices
with respect to furs and fur products; and the public is
protected from dangers inherent in flammable fabrics. In
1960 the Commission will begin enforcement of the
Textile Fiber Products Identification Act.
3. Executive direction and management.—These also
include the adjudicatory functions of the Commission.

The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission is responsible for the settlement of claims authorized by the War
Claims and the International Claims Settlement Acts.
1. Administration and settlement oj—
(a) International claims.—Processing of claims of
United States nationals for the nationalization or other
taking of property by Czechoslovakia has been authorized. Funds totaling about $9 million derived from the
vesting and sale of Czechoslovakian assets in this country
are available as trust funds from which the Treasury will
make payments against the awards. A 5% deduction will be made as an offset against appropriations for
administrative expenses of the Commission and the
Treasury Department. A total of 1,500 to 2,000 claims
asking recoveries of about $50 million is anticipated.
Claims of United States nationals against Bulgaria,
Hungary, Rumania, Italy, and the Soviet Union will be
completed by the statutory deadline of August 9, 1959.
As of June 30, 1958, a total of 7,012 claims have been
decided, leaving a balance of 3,553 claims for 1959.
Reconsideration of about 400 claims will be necessitated
by the provisions of Public Law 85-604, amending Public
Law 285 (72 Stat. 527). Residual operations in connection with post audit, reporting, and records disposal
are required for final disposition of the programs during
1960.
(b) World War II claims.—All claims of religious
organizations authorized by Public Law 84-997 were
decided by the statutory deadline of February 6, 1958.
Final settlements pursuant to the funding authority of
Public Law 85-884 will be made during 1959. Liquidation of this and previous programs under the War Claims
Act will continue during 1960 financed by reimbursement
from the war claims fund.
2. Review of claims programs.—These operations involve
research, reports, documentation, and similar functions
responsive to the requirements of the Congress and of
other agencies of the Government concerning claims
programs and problems,
