THE BUDGET MESSAGE
OF THE
PRESIDENT
Ml
BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress of the United States:
The Budget of the United States is a good roadmap of where we
have been, where we are now, and where we should be going as a
people. The budget reflects the President's sense of priorities. It
reflects his best judgment of how we must choose among competing
interests. And it reveals his philosophy of how the public and private
spheres should be related.
Accordingly, I have devoted a major portion of my own time
over the last several months to shaping the budget for fiscal year
1977 and laying the groundwork for the years that follow.
As I see it, the budget has three important dimensions. One is
the budget as an element of our economic policy. The total size of
the budget and the deficit or surplus that results can substantially
affect the general health of our economy—in a good way or in a
bad way. If we try to stimulate the economy beyond its capacity to
respond, it will lead only to a future whirlwind of inflation and
unemployment.
The budget I am proposing for fiscal year 1977 and the direction
I seek for the future meet the test of responsible fiscal policy. The
combination of tax and spending changes I propose will set us on a
course that not only leads to a balanced budget within three years,
but also improves the prospects for the economy to stay on a growth
path that we can sustain. This is not a policy of the quick fix; it does not
hold out the hollow promise that we can wipe out inflation and
unemployment overnight. Instead, it is an honest, realistic policy—
a policy that says we can steadily reduce inflation and unemployment
if we maintain a prudent, balanced approach. This policy has begun
to prove itself in recent months as we have made substantial headway
in pulling out of the recession and reducing the rate of inflation; it
will prove itself decisively if we stick to it.
A second important dimension of the budget is that it helps to
define the boundaries between responsibilities that we assign to
governments and those that remain in the hands of private institutions and individual citizens.
Over the years, the growth of government has been gradual and
uneven, but the trend is unmistakable. Although the predominant
growth has been at the State and local level, the Federal Government has contributed to the trend too. We must not continue driftM3
M4
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
ing in the direction of bigger and bigger government. The driving
force of our 200-year history has been our private sector. If we rely
on it and nurture it, the economy will continue to grow, providing
new and better choices for our people and the resources necessary
to meet our shared needs. If, instead, we continue to increase government's share of our economy, we will have no choice but to raise
taxes and will, in the process, dampen further the forces of competition, risk, and reward that have served us so well. With stagnation
of these forces, the issues of the future would surely be focused on
who gets what from an economy of little or no growth rather than,
as it should be, on the use to be made of expanding incomes and
resources.
As an improtant step toward reversing the long-term trend, my
budget for 1977 proposes to cut the rate of Federal spending growth,
year to year, to 5.5%—less than half the average growth rate we
have experienced in the last 10 years. At the same time, I am proposing further, permanent income tax reductions so that individuals
and businesses can spend and invest these dollars instead of having
the Federal Government collect and spend them.
A third important dimension of the budget is the way it sorts out
priorities. In formulating this budget, I have tried to achieve
fairness and balance:
—between the taxpayer and those who will benefit by Federal
spending;
—between national security and other pressing needs;
—between our own generation and the world we want to leave
to our children;
—between those in some need and those most in need;
—between the programs we already have and those we would
like to have;
—between aid to individuals and aid to State and local governments ;
—between immediate implementation of a good idea and the
need to allow time for transition;
—between the desire to solve our problems quickly and the
realization that for some problems, good solutions will take
more time; and
—between Federal control and direction to assure achievement of
common goals and the recognition that State and local governments and individuals may do as well or better without
restraints.
Clearly, one of the highest priorities for our Government is always
to secure the defense of our country. There is no alternative. If we
THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
M5
in the Federal Government fail in this responsibility, our other
objectives are meaningless.
Accordingly, I am recommending a significant increase in defense
spending for 1977. If in good conscience I could propose less, I
would. Great good could be accomplished with other uses of these
dollars. My request is based on a careful assessment of the international situation and the contingencies we must be prepared to
meet. The amounts I seek will provide the national defense it now
appears we need. We dare not do less. And if our efforts to secure
international arms limitations falter, we will need to do more.
Assuring our Nation's needs for energy must also be among our
highest priorities. My budget gives that priority.
While providing fully for our defense and energy needs, I have
imposed upon these budgets the same discipline that I have applied
in reviewing other programs. Savings have been achieved in a
number of areas. We cannot tolerate waste in any program.
In our domestic programs, my objective has been to achieve a
balance between all the things we would like to do and those things
we can realistically afford to do. The hundreds of pages that spell
out the details of my program proposals tell the story, but some
examples illustrate the point.
I am proposing that we take steps to address the haunting fear of
our elderly that a prolonged, serious illness could cost them and
their children everything they have. My medicare reform proposal
would provide protection against such catastrophic health costs.
No elderly person would have to pay over $500 per year for covered
hospital or nursing home care, and no more than $250 per year for
covered physician services. To offset the costs of this additional
protection and to slow down the runaway increases in federally
funded medical expenses, I am recommending adjustments to the
medicare program so that within the new maximums beneficiaries
contribute more to the costs of their care than they do now.
My budget provides a full cost-of-living increase for those receiving social security or other Federal retirement benefits. We must
recognize, however, that the social security trust fund is becoming
depleted. To restore its integrity, I am asking the Congress to raise
social security taxes, effective January 1, 1977, and to adopt certain
other reforms of the system. Higher social security taxes and the
other reforms I am proposing may be controversial, but they are
the right thing to do. The American people understand that we
must pay for the things we want. I know that those who are working now want to be sure that the money will be there to pay their
benefits when their working days are over.
M6
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
My budget also proposes that we replace 59 grant programs with
broad block grants in four important areas:
—A health block grant that will consolidate medicaid and 15
other health programs. States will be able to make their own
priority choices for use of these Federal funds to help lowincome people with their health needs.
—An education block grant that will consolidate 27 grant programs for education into a single flexible Federal grant to
States, primarily for use in helping disadvantaged and handicapped children.
—A block grant for feeding needy children that will consolidate
15 complex and overlapping programs. Under existing programs, 700,000 needy children receive no benefits. Under my
program, all needy children can be fed, but subsidies for the
nonpoor will be eliminated.
—A block grant that will support a community's social service
programs for the needy. This would be accomplished by
removing current requirements unnecessarily restricting the
flexibility of States in providing such services.
These initiatives will result in more equitable distribution of
Federal dollars, and provide greater State discretion and responsibility. All requirements that States match Federal funds will be
eliminated. Such reforms are urgently needed, but my proposals
recognize that they will, in some cases, require a period of transition.
These are only examples. My budget sets forth many other recommendations. Some involve new initiatives. Others seek restraint.
The American people know that promises that the Federal Government will do more for them every year have not been kept. I make no
such promises. I offer no such illusion: This budget does not shrink
from hard choices where necessary. Notwithstanding those hard
choices, I believe this budget reflects a forward-looking spirit that
is in keeping with our heritage as we begin our Nation's third
century.

Budget authority
One of the sections that follows compares the original estimates
of certain 1975 outlays with the actual results for that year. This
comparison demonstrates several key points:
—Budget outlays and receipts for the current and future years are
estimates.
—The President's budget is his principal statement of priorities for
the Federal Government and is predicated on acceptance of his
proposals for appropriations, for legislative change, and for
deferrals and rescissions
—For a variety of reasons, the estimates now presented will undergo
change as we move closer to 1977 and then into that year.
Notwithstanding every effort to refine and apply the best estimating
techniques available, the estimates set forth in the budget will turn
out to be different from the actual figures recorded at the end of 1977—
a year and 8 months away. There will be many reasons for the differences. Economic assumptions, covered in Part 3, rarely are precisely
accurate. Differences between actual economic conditions and those
assumed can materially affect both outlays and receipts. Furthermore,
in many programs benefits are paid automatically to those who meet
specified criteria. Thus, the rate at which individuals or States and
localities apply for benefits can have a major effect on the level of
Federal spending. Particularly in the case of new programs, or programs that have recently undergone substantial change, the number
of eligible applicants is difficult to predict accurately. Finally, congressional action on or affecting the budget, subsequent Presidential
decisions, and other factors can also cause substantial changes to the
budget estimates.
This part also discusses certain concepts not directly reflected in
total budget outlays but very closely related, such as the off-budget
Federal agencies and the privately owned Government-sponsored
2
PERSPECTIVES
3
enterprises. Finally, it covers the concepts of Federal funds and trust
funds, and Federal debt. These discussions demonstrate strongly that
budget outlays and budget authority give only a part, albeit a fundamental part, of the picture with respect to the financial position
and plans of the Federal Government.
Differing perspectives on both the totals and the details are also
presented in this part and throughout the budget documents by use of
different classifications. While the details of the budget are shown by
agency and by budget account, the major classification of the budget
totals is in terms of functions or purposes being served. As is noted in
the introduction to Part 5 of this document, the functional classification has taken on a major new role now that the Congress is using it as
a basis for budget review.
One additional perspective is crucial. Where we are headed in the
next few years—particularly as to the growth in Federal spending—
is determined in large measure by substantive laws and appropriations already enacted and programmatic actions already taken. For
example, many billions of outlays represent payment of obligations
that must be met. These include interest on the public debt and payments coming due on a wide variety of contracts already signed. The
Federal Government is committed to future payments for bridges,
dams, water reclamation projects, waterways, military equipment,
sewage treatment plants, research and development, subsidies for
lower income housing, community development projects, and much
more. About one-quarter of 1977 outlays are so committed. Moreover,
major Federal responsibilities often cannot be altered rapidly. It is
possible to increase or decrease outlays for our national parks, the
Forest Service, or the Department of the Treasury, but sharply curtailing or eliminating such activities in a short period of time is not
practical.
It is for this reason that the budget document has increasingly
emphasized projections for the years beyond the budget year. Part 3
of this document contains estimates through 1981, as now required by
the Congressional Budget Act. Even greater emphasis has been placed
on future budget trends by including in the discussion of the budget
by function, in Part 5, specific references to 1978 outlays where the
outyear impact is particularly important.
The sections in this part of the volume are also complemented by
Part 6, which summarizes the budget process and defines the most
significant terms used in the budget documents.
BUDGET AUTHORITY
The Congress must provide budget authority, generally in the form
of appropriations, before Federal agencies can obligate the Government to make outlays. For 1977, a total of $433.4 billion of new budget
authority is recommended.

Congressional action on $ 268.3 billion of the new budget authorityproposed for 1977 is required for it to become available. The remaining
$165.1 billion will be available under existing laws. Such latter authority consists mainly of trust fund receipts, which in most programs
are automatically appropriated by existing law, and interest on the
public debt, for which budget authority is automatically provided
under a permanent appropriation enacted in 1847.
Not all of the new budget authority for 1977 will be obligated or
spent in that year.
• Budget authority for most trust funds authorizes the expenditure
of the funds' receipts from special taxes and contributions and
from Federal fund payments to the trust funds, to be used as
PERSPECTIVES
needed over a period of years for benefit payments and other
purposes specified by law.
• Budget authority for many construction and procurement
programs covers the estimated full cost of projects at the time
they are started, although the outlays will occur over a number
of years as work on the projects progresses.
• Budget authority for the subsidized housing programs is equal to
the maximum Federal payment expected under new authority to
make contracts, which extend over long periods of up to 40 years.
• Budget authority for many direct loan programs provides financing for a period of years; budget authority for many insurance
and guaranteed loan programs consists of amounts to be used only
in the event of defaults or other claims on the programs.
As a result of these factors, a substantial amount of budget authority
carries over from one year to the next. Most of this is earmarked for
specific uses and is not available for new program proposals.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
As shown in the preceding chart, $112.9 billion of outlays in 1977,
29% of the total, will be made under budget authority enacted in
previous years. Conversely, $152.1 billion of the new budget authority
proposed for 1977, which is 35% of the total amount proposed, will
not result in outlays until future years. Some budget authority will be
written off and expire without being spent.
Once budget authority is provided, the Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act requires that any amounts withheld from
use must be reported to the Congress in rescission or deferral messages.
The Congress may require release of funds by overturning the proposed
deferral or by not taking action on the proposed rescission of budget
authority.
RECONCILIATION OF ACTUAL AND ESTIMATED OUTLAYS
THAT ARE RELATIVELY UNCONTROLLABLE UNDER
EXISTING LAW
This section of the budget explains the differences between the
actual 1975 outlays for major programs that have relatively uncontrollable outlays and the amounts estimated in the 1975 budget, which
was transmitted to the Congress in February 1974.
Outlays are defined as relatively uncontrollable in any one year
when the President's decisions in that year can neither increase nor
decrease them without a change in substantive law. That is, under
existing law these outlays depend generally upon factors that are
beyond administrative control, such as benefit payments that beneficiaries are entitled to by law or contractual agreements or other
legally binding commitments that have already been made.
The amounts estimated in the budget for relatively uncontrollable
outlays may differ from the actual outlays for a number of reasons.
For example, legislation may change benefit rates or coverage; the
number of beneficiaries under a program may differ from the number
estimated; or economic conditions (such as the interest rates required
for Federal borrowing) may differ from what was assumed.
The following table shows the differences between actual outlays
for relatively uncontrollable programs in 1975 and the estimated
amounts shown in the 1975 budget. The list of such programs in this
table is the same as in table 16 (Controllability of Budget Outlays) in
Part 8 of this year's budget.
The February 1974 estimate of uncontrollable outlays did not
include the outlay effect of legislation then being proposed. This is
standard practice consistent with the definition of uncontrollable
outlays stated above. Where legislation was enacted that significantly
affected relatively uncontrollable outlays in 1975, it is identified in the
discussion below.
PERSPECTIVES
As the table shows, actual outlays for relatively uncontrollable
programs were $12.1 billion higher than originally estimated. T h e two
components of this total, open-ended programs and fixed costs and
outlays from prior-year contracts and obligations, accounted for
$13.7 billion and —$1.6 billion of this difference, respectively. The
former programs are composed mainly of benefit programs, grants, and
subsidies for which eligibility is automatic or fixed b y law; interest
payments; and payments for the legislative and judicial branches,
which the President must—by law—include in the budget without
change.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Most of the $12.9 billion underestimate in payments for individuals
can be explained by differences between assumed and actual economic
conditions and the effects of new legislation. Over a third of this
amount can be explained by the effect on outlays of a higher than assumed rate of unemployment. This higher rate is responsible for most
of the outlay increase in unemployment assistance and part of the
increase in both public assistance and veterans readjustment outlays.
Changes in law subsequent to the budget submission also account
for over a third of the underestimate in payments for individuals.
Social security and railroad retirement outlays were $1.2 billion
greater than originally estimated. The Tax Reduction Act of 1975
(Public Law 94-12) increased social security and railroad retirement
outlays $1.7 billion by providing a $50 payment to beneficiaries of
these and certain other programs. Railroad retirement outlays were
higher by an additional $0.3 billion due to benefit increases enacted
by the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-58). Partially
offsetting these increases was a $0.8 billion reduction in social
security benefits due to a smaller number of beneficiaries than
originally estimated.
Outlays for Federal employees' retirement and insurance were
almost the same as estimated in the 1975 budget. There were, however, offsetting changes in the component programs, consisting of
a $0.2 billion overestimate for the civilian retirement programs and
a $0.2 billion underestimate for military retired pay. The lower outlays for civilian retirement resulted from overestimates of the number
of annuitants ( — $0.3 billion) and of the amount of refunds to workers
leaving Federal employment ( — $0.1 billion), partially offset by a $0.2
billion increase due to higher than expected inflation. Military retired
pay was underestimated by $0.2 billion due to the higher rate of inflation.
The largest revision in uncontrollable outlays was the $6.5 billion
increase in unemployment assistance. The original estimate assumed
an unemployment rate of 5.7% for 1975, as compared to the actual
rate of 7.3%. This higher rate increased unemployment assistance
outlays by about $4 billion, given the benefit coverage assumed in
the original estimate, and an underestimate in the benefits and coverage under then existing law contributed about $1 billion. In addition,
the higher unemployment prompted legislation that extended the
length of entitlement to benefit payments beyond the time workers
would normally be eligible and provided benefits to workers not previously covered (Public Laws 93-567 and 93-572). The legislation
added $1.5 billion to the original estimate.
Outlays for veterans benefits were $2.9 billion above the original
estimate. The Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Act of 1974 (Public
PERSPECTIVES
9
Law 93-508) extended the coverage and amount of education benefits
above what was estimated in the 1975 budget. The 22.7% increase in
monthly payments and the extension of some entitlements for an additional 9 months are the major components of the act that added
nearly $1.0 billion to the 1975 outlay estimate. Passage of the Veterans
and Survivors Pension Adjustment Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-527),
which increased income limitations and liberalized provisions relating
to payment of pensions and survivors' compensation, added $0.2
billion to 1975 outlays. In addition, outlays were increased $1.7 billion
due to an unanticipated increase in beneficiary caseloads in the
readjustment, compensation, and pension programs and higher than
expected average benefit levels in the latter two programs.
Outlays for medicare were $0.6 billion higher than estimated and
those for medicaid were $0.3 billion higher. The increased outlays for
medicare resulted largely from greater than anticipated increases in
enrollee utilization rates (for example, number of hospital days or
physician visits per enrollee) under the hospital insurance (HI) and
supplemental medical insurance (SMI) programs. The HI utilization
rate for 1975 was estimated to increase by 0.7%, as compared to an
actual increase of 5.0%. For SMI, the estimated utilization rate increase was 1.7%, as compared to an actual increase of 7.2%. A higher
than expected rise in medical costs also contributed to the underestimate of medicare outlays in 1975 and was the primary factor that
resulted in underestimating medicaid outlays.
Housing payments were $0.2 billion less than anticipated in the
1975 budget because the number of previously approved subsidized
housing units that actually became available for occupancy in 1975
was smaller than expected.
Public assistance outlays in 1975, which include public assistance
cash payments, food stamps, and child nutrition programs, were $1.5
billion higher than estimated. Increased caseloads and higher average
benefit levels in the public assistance cash payments program accounted
for $0.6 billion of the increase, while higher than expected participation
in the food stamp program increased outlays by $0.7 billion. Increases
beyond what had been assumed for the rate of inflation and for the
program participation rate in the child nutrition programs account for
the remaining $0.2 billion of the underestimate.
Net interest in 1975 was $1.3 billion above the original estimate.
This is almost entirely due to more debt being held by the public
than originally estimated. At the beginning of 1975, some 5 months
after the budget submission, debt held by the public was $346 billion,
very near the original estimate. However, by the end of the fiscal
year, debt held by the public was $397 billion, $38 billion more than
the original estimate of $359 billion.
10
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
As a result of lower than anticipated agricultural output, especially
grains, commodity prices were higher than expected. This reduced
outlays for price support loans by $0.6 billion and export credits by
$0.1 billion. However, another result of the smaller crop was to
increase outlays for direct payments by $0.4 billion above the budget
estimate. The net effect was a $350 million lower outlay total for farm
price supports than had been estimated in the 1975 budget.
Outlays from prior-year contracts and obligations were $1.6 billion
lower than originally estimated in the 1975 budget. The major underestimate was for the Department of Housing and Urban Development ($1.8 billion) and the larger overestimates were for the Environmental Protection Agency (—$1.7 billion), the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare (—$1.0 billion), and the Department of
Transportation (—$1.0 billion).
OFF-BUDGET AND OTHER FISCAL ACTIVITIES
The budget does not include a number of fiscal activities of the
Federal Government that result in spending similar to budget outlays.
Two major exclusions—the off-budget activities of Federal agencies
and the activities of privately owned Government-sponsored enterprises 1—-are discussed in some detail below. 2 Federal and federally
assisted credit activities, only part of which (direct loans) is on budget,
also have significant effects on the economy. The Federal debt has
become, of course, a major force in the financial markets. These
topics, too, are discussed below.

11
Outlays of off-budget Federal agencies and
Governmentsponsored enterprises.—Of-budget Federal agencies are federally
owned and controlled, but their transactions have been excluded from
the budget totals under provisions of law. Therefore, their fiscal activities are not reflected in either budget outlays or the budget surplus or
deficit, and appropriation requests for their activities are not included
in the totals of budget authority. The debt of these agencies is part of
the gross Federal debt but is not subject to the statutory debt limit.
As shown in the table on page 16, the outlays of the off-budget Federal
agencies are added to the unified budget deficit to comprise the total
Government deficit that has to be financed by borrowing from the
public or by other means.
The first off-budget agency excluded from the unified budget was
the Export-Import Bank (excluded by statute as of August 17, 1971).
This removal was the first departure from the concept of the unified
budget, which had been adopted for 1969 and which combined the
administrative budget with the substantial trust fund activity of the
Federal Government. Since 1972 further departures from a unified
budget have occurred. The Postal Service fund, the Rural Telephone
Bank, the lending activities that became the Rural Electrification and
Telephone revolving fund, and the Housing for the Elderly or Handicapped fund were removed from the budget. The Environmental
Financing Authority fund,3 the Federal Financing Bank, the United
States Railway Association, and the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation were established off-budget.
Under legislation proposed last fall, the Energy Independence
Authority would be established as a Government corporation to assist
the development of domestic sources of energy. While transactions of
the corporation will be off-budget, the net gains or losses of the Authority will be recorded in the budget.
According to current law the Export-Import Bank will be returned
to the budget as of October 1, 1976, the beginning of fiscal year 1977.
Legislation has been proposed to make a similar, though partial, shift
for the United States Railway Association. Its lending program for
ConRail, which will comprise almost all of its outlays, will be onbudget starting later in 1976. The budget totals currently include the
administrative expenses of the Rural Electrification Administration
lending programs and of the United States Railway Association, and
they also include the subsidies paid to the Postal Service.
3
The Environmental Financing Authority expired on June 30, 1975, without having conducted
any operations.
12
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
While the budget authority and outlays of off-budget activities are
excluded from the budget totals, not all of these activities are excluded
from Presidential and congressional review. For example, limits to the
amount of new lending by the Rural Electrification and Telephone revolving fund are set annually by law, and the outstanding debt and
annual borrowing of the Postal Service are limited by statute.
In many cases there is little or no justification for off-budget
treatment. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 calls for the Committees on the Budget of the House of Representatives and the
Senate to study on a continuing basis those provisions of law that
exclude any outlays of Federal agencies from the budget and to report
to their respective Houses their recommendations for terminating or
modifying such provisions.
Government-sponsored enterprises were established and chartered by
the Federal Government to perform specialized functions. The earlier
enterprises were all created with partial or full Government ownership
and direct Government control, but, in time, they were converted to
private ownership and some new enterprises were created as privately
owned institutions. The current rule governing the budget treatment
of these enterprises was established in 1967 in accordance with a
recommendation by the President's Commission on Budget Concepts.
The Commission, whose report led to the adoption of the unified
budget, recommended that the budget exclude those Governmentsponsored enterprises that are entirely privately owned.
The Federal Land Banks and Federal Home Loan Banks had both
become entirely privately owned a number of years before the unified
budget was adopted and therefore have always been excluded. The
Federal National Mortgage Association, the Banks for Cooperatives,
and the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks became wholly privately
owned by repaying their Federal equity capital during 1969 and were
accordingly removed from the budget. The Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation and the Student Loan Marketing Association
were subsequently established with full private ownership.
Except for the Postal Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, the excluded outlays of both the off-budget Federal
agencies and the Government-sponsored enterprises are incurred for
carrying out loan programs. These programs are similar to the direct
loan programs in the unified budget. The outlays of most of these
programs are roughly equal to the difference between new loans
disbursed and repayments of principal. For example, during 1975
new loans disbursed by the excluded programs were $47.7 billion
and repayments were $29.5 billion, for an increase in loans outstanding of $18.2 billion. In comparison, the outlays of these excluded
loan programs were $16.5 billion.

To prevent double-counting, outlays of off-budget Federal agencies exclude loans to other offbudget Federal agencies and to other Federal agencies; and outlays of Government-sponsored
enterprises exclude loans to other Government-sponsored enterprises and loans to or from Federal
agencies.
2
The 1972—74 data have been revised for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation to reflect
the reclassification of sales of participation certificates as borrowing rather than as asset sales.
Like direct loans in the budget, the loans of the excluded programs
are designed to allocate economic resources toward particular uses.
Under certain circumstances they also provide some stimulus to
aggregate economic activity, although this is offset to a degree because
their net lending has to be financed largely by borrowing from the
financial markets just as does a deficit in the budget. The off-budget
Federal agencies support a variety of program functions both through
14
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
their direct operations and, in the case of the Federal Financing Bank,
through the purchase of debt securities issued by several agencies
and the purchase of obligations guaranteed under a number of Government programs. Part 5 of the budget, "The Federal Program
by Function," shows the outlays of most of the off-budget Federal
agencies by function and discusses some of their more significant
activities. The Government-sponsored enterprises primarily support
housing but also support agriculture and higher education.
In the preceding table, the excluded outlays of the off-budget
Federal agencies and the privately owned Government-sponsored
enterprises are compared with the unified budget outlays.4 The outlays
of the off-budget agencies began at a negligible amount in 1972 but
have grown rapidly since then, in large part because more off-budget
agencies have been created. The following table shows the extent
to which the off-budget outlays in 1974-77 are due to one agency,
the Federal Financing Bank (in billions of dollars):

The outlays of the Federal Financing Bank reflect only its purchases
of Government-guaranteed obligations, not its purchases of agency
debt, in order to prevent double counting. For 1977 the Federal
Financing Bank outlays are estimated to be three-fourths of the total
outlays of the off-budget Federal agencies. Federal Financing Bank
outlays make up almost two-thirds of the total during the rest of
the 1975-77 period. The next largest sources of off-budget outlays are
the Postal Service, the Export-Import Bank until its return to the
budget in 1977, and the Energy Independence Authority in 1977.
Altogether, the outlays of off-budget Federal agencies equaled 2.9%
of budget outlays in 1975 and are estimated to equal 2.5% in 1976 and
2.8% in 1977.
The outlays of the privately owned Government-sponsored enterprises have likewise grown—from relatively small amounts in the
early 1960's to an average of $7.5 billion, or 2.9% of budget outlays,
during 1971-75, when more Government sponsored enterprises were
outside the budget. In 1976 and 1977 these enterprises are expected
to spend $8.1 billion and $14.6 billion, respectively, equal to 3.1% of
budget outlays over the period.
4
The historical data for unified budget outlays include off-budget Federal agencies for any years
when they were in the budget and include Government-sponsored enterprises for periods when
they had any Government ownership.
PERSPECTIVES
15
Guaranteed and insured loans.—Federal and federally assisted
credit has a significant influence on resource allocation. Direct loans
by on-budget agencies are part of total outlays. Direct loans by offbudget agencies (discussed above) and federally guaranteed loans
are not measured in the budget totals. Credit guarantees allocate
economic resources toward particular uses, especially housing, and
under certain circumstances provide some stimulus to total spending
in the economy. The impact of guaranteed loans on the economy is
difficult to assess, since some portion of the private loans that are
guaranteed would be made anyway and since those private loans that
would not otherwise have been made tend to divert credit away from
other economic activities.
The outstanding guaranteed loans held by the public are large and
have grown substantially each year. At the end of 1975 they were
$158.7 billion. They are expected to grow $13.1 billion in 1976, $0.4
billion in the transition quarter, and $2.4 billion in 1977, reaching
the sum of $174.6 billion by the end of 1977. These figures include
the full amount of all loans guaranteed in whole or in part with respect
to payment of the principal or the interest. In addition to the $16.0
billion increase in guaranteed loans that will be held by the public
during 1976-77, the total held by the Federal Financing Bank, other
Federal agencies, and Government-sponsored enterprises is estimated
to increase by $18.9 billion. The latter amount is reflected in the outlays of the Federal agencies and Government-sponsored enterprises that
buy these loans. Many loan guarantee programs are discussed by
function in Part 5 of the budget; and loan guarantees generally are
analyzed further in Special Analysis E, "Federal Credit Programs." 5
Taxation.—Several other fiscal activities not measured in the
budget also have economic impacts. Taxation affects the economy
not only by providing the Government with receipts, which the
budget does measure, but also by changing the, allocation of resources
among private uses and the distribution of income among individuals.
The private economy may be significantly affected both by the
relative importance of the various taxes and also by the structure of
each of the different taxes that are levied. Some aspects of the structures of the individual and corporation income taxes—exclusions,
exemptions, deductions, credits, preferential rates, and deferrals—are
discussed as "tax expenditures" at several places in Part 5 of the
budget, including the introduction, and in Special Analysis F, "Tax
Expenditures." 6

16
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Budget funds and the Federal debt.—The budget is divided between two major groups of funds: Federal funds and trust funds.
The Federal funds are derived mainly from taxes and borrowing.
Most of these funds are not restricted by law to any specific Government purpose. The trust funds, on the other hand, collect certain
taxes and other receipts for specified purposes, such as the payment
of social security and unemployment insurance benefits. 7

7
Data for Federal funds and trust funds are presented in Special Analysis B, "Funds in the
Budget," in Special Analyses, Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1977.
PERSPECTIVES
17
The budget combines the receipts and outlays of the Federal funds
and trust funds and deducts the various transactions that occur
between them. It therefore generally displays the net transactions of
the Federal Government with the public. Thus, as is shown in the
previous table, the unified budget surplus or deficit is the principal
determinant of the change in Federal debt held by the public.8 Since
1974, however, the deficits of the Federal Financing Bank and the
other off-budget Federal agencies have also become an important
determinant of the change in Federal debt held by the public. The
transactions of the off-budget Federal agencies have been excluded
from the budget under provisions of law and are not part of either
the Federal funds or the trust funds grouping.
The deficit expected for 1977 and the other factors noted in the
preceding table will increase the Federal debt held by the public from
$504.4 billion at the end of the transition quarter to $558.2 billion at
the end of 1977.
Gross Federal debt is the sum of the debt held by the public and
the debt held by the Government itself, such as the investments in
Treasury debt by the social security trust funds. The Federal funds
deficit is the principal determinant of changes in gross Federal debt,
but the off-budget Federal agencies also have an important effect.
Gross Federal debt is estimated to rise from $652.8 billion on
September 30, 1976, to $719.5 billion on September 30, 1977. As the
lower section of the preceding table indicates, $12.9 billion of thii
increase will be in debt held by trust funds and other Federal agencies,
reflecting mainly the investment of trust fund surpluses in Treasury
debt.
The gross Federal debt consists almost entirely of securities issued
by the Treasury Department. However, a few Government agencies
are authorized to issue their own debt instruments to the public or
to other Government agencies and funds. This borrowing is part of
the gross Federal debt. At the end of 1975 the outstanding debt of
such agencies that was held by the public was $9.0 billion. This debt
is expected to fall by small amounts in 1976 and 1977 due to the operations of the Federal Financing Bank, which buys most new issues of
agency debt and finances its purchases through Treasury borrowing.
8
Federal debt held by the public includes debt held by the Federal Reserve System.
18
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
To prevent double counting, these holdings are not included in gross
Federal debt. Consequently, the change in agency debt is largely
determined by the repayment of securities that have matured.
Almost all Treasury debt issues are covered by a statutory debt
limit, but most borrowing by Federal agencies other than the Treasury
is excluded from this limit. The ceiling on the debt subject to limit is
temporarily $595 billion but under existing law is scheduled to return
to the permanent limit of $400 billion on March 16, 1976. To permit
the Federal Government to meet its obligations, this ceiling will have
to be raised. Under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Congress is to include in its concurrent resolutions on the budget the
appropriate level of debt and the amount by which the debt subject
to limit ought to be changed.
The debt subject to statutory limit includes not only most of the
Federal debt held by the public but also most of the Federal debt held
internally by the Government itself. Therefore, the concept of Federal
borrowing subject to statutory limit is roughly similar to the concept of
the Federal funds part of the unified budget. Trust fund surpluses
invested in Federal debt do not hold down the growth in the debt
subject to limit as they do the growth in the debt held by the public.
Consequently, debt subject to limit usually grows more than debt
held by the public; and whereas borrowing from the public is roughly
related to the unified budget surplus or deficit, borrowing subject to
limit is roughly related to the Federal funds surplus or deficit.9
The Federal funds deficit in 1977 is estimated to be $55.5 billion,
and the off-budget Federal agencies are estimated to require an additional $11.1 billion of borrowing subject to limit. As shown in the
following table, these two factors will account for most of the
increase in the debt subject to limit.
9
Federal debt is discussed further in Special Analysis C, "Borrowing, Debt, and Investment,"
in Special Analyses, Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1977.

1 On March 14, 1975, $825 million of non-interest-bearing notes issued to the International Monetary Fund were redeemed and replaced by a letter of credit of equal value. These notes were included
in the debt subject to limit but not in the gross Federal debt. Since the letter of credit is not counted
as 2debt, this transaction reduced debt subject to limit by $825 million.
On October 1, 1976, Federal debt held by the public is estimated to increase by $0.3 billion due to a
reclassification of Export-Import Bank certificates of beneficial interest from asset sales to debt.

A substantial part of the Federal funds deficit—and, therefore, a
substantial part of the growth in debt subject to limit—is associated
with transactions between Federal funds and trust funds. These
transactions consist primarily of Federal funds payments to trust
funds: interest paid on Treasury debt held by trust funds, the
employer share of employee retirement, the Federal payment to
finance the unfunded liability of the civil service retirement fund, and
other payments mainly to social insurance trust funds (such as the
Federal Government's contribution for supplementary medical
insurance). The trust fund payments to Federal funds are very
small.10
From 1966 through 1975, the cumulative Federal funds deficit was
$219.6 billion, of which $100.4 billion was attributable to transactions
with trust funds and the remaining $119.1 billion was attributable to
transactions with the public.11 A significant Federal funds deficit can
occur, as one did in 1969, when there are surpluses in the unified budget
and in the transactions of the Federal funds with the public. The
relevant figures for 1975 through 1977 are shown in the following
table.
10
These transactions are shown in detail in Part 8, table 13. Seethe section of the table on interfund
transactions.

For purposes of this analysis, payments from Federal funds to the general revenue sharing trust
fund are treated as transactions with the public instead of transactions with a trust fund; and the
corresponding payments from the general revenue sharing trust fund to the public are accordingly
omitted. This is because the general revenue sharing trust fund has no independent source of funding
but serves only as a channel through which a Federal funds payment is made to the public.

ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LONG-RANGE BUDGET
PROJECTIONS
This part of the budget discusses the long-range budget outlook
and the economic assumptions underlying that outlook. The first
section presents economic assumptions for calendar years 1976 through
1981 and explains the nature of these assumptions. The second section
examines the budget outlook for the fiscal years 1977 through 1981,
presenting projections of receipts by major source and budget authority and outlays by function and agency.
ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS
There is a two-way relationship between the economy and the
budget. Economic conditions significantly affect the budget, and the
budget, in turn, significantly influences economic conditions. Both the
tax structure and budget outlays can have a substantial effect on
national output, employment, and inflation.
At the same time, outlays for many Federal programs are directly
linked to developments in the economy, and this linkage has become
increasingly strong in recent years. For example, most retirement
and other social insurance benefit payments are now tied by law to
cost-of-living indexes. Medicare outlays are affected directly by the
price of medical services. Interest on the debt is linked to general
market interest rates and the size of the budget surplus or deficit, which
in turn are influenced by economic conditions. Of course, to the extent
that outlays rise automatically in response to inflation the budget is
less effective in counteracting inflationary pressures than it would be
if these linkages did not exist.
Another type of linkage to economic events is outlays for unemployment benefits, and certain other benefits, which rise and fall with
the unemployment rate. In addition, budget receipts vary in accordance with individual and corporate incomes, which respond to both
real economic growth and inflation. Thus, receipts and some benefit
payments serve as "automatic stabilizers" for the economy by both
restraining inflation and cushioning economic downturns.
The following tables present the underlying economic assumptions
that have been used for purposes of developing budget estimates.
These assumptions are presented on a calendar year basis, whereas
the budget estimates are presented on a fiscal year basis. These
assumptions are being presented in order to provide the Congress and
the public with information that may be helpful in understanding
and assessing the budget estimates and long-range projections.

Average rate on new issues within period; the rate shown for 1976 was the current market rate

The short-term economic assumptions presented in this section have
been developed in quite different ways from the longer run assumptions. The assumptions for calendar years 1975 (for which only three
quarters of actual data were available at the time the forecast was
made), 1976, and 1977 are forecasts of probable economic conditions
during these years.
The longer range assumptions for the period 1978 to 1981 are not forecasts of probable economic conditions, but rather assumptions consistent
with moving gradually toward a relatively stable price level and a
higher level of employment. Any economic forecast is subject to substantial error. Even the 1976 forecast involves considerable uncertainty, but the uncertainty rises rapidly as we attempt to foresee
economic activity in 1977. Beyond 1977, it is virtually impossible to
make a forecast with any degree of reliability. It is for this reason the
data in the following table are mechanical projections.

Insured unemployment as a percentage of covered employment.
Average rate on new issues within period.
It is assumed that real GNP grows at a 6.5% rate from the first
quarter of 1978 through the end of 1980. At that time, with the
unemployment rate less than 5%, a slower rate of growth is assumed.
It is further assumed that this growth pattern is consistent with a
continuous deceleration in the rate of inflation. The current dollar
value of GNP is derived from the assumed inflation and real growth
rates, while personal income, wages and salaries, and corporate profits
are computed assuming a continuation of the historical trends that
relate these data to current dollar GNP. The unemployment rate is
projected by using the historical relationship between unemployment
and the gap between actual and potential GNP.
There is no intent to imply that the economy will follow the exact
path derived from these assumptions. It may grow more rapidly in
some periods and less rapidly in others. Nor do the assumptions represent a blueprint for economic policy. Such plans can only be set as we
gain more information regarding the evolving relationship between
PROJECTIONS
27
inflation and unemployment during this recovery. The purpose of
presenting these assumptions is solely to provide a consistent base for
projecting the budget estimates.
LONG-RANGE BUDGET PROJECTIONS
The effects of current decisions extend beyond the budget year.
They establish program trends that have important influences on the
size and composition of budgets for years into the future. Just as the
composition and level of the 1977 budget have been largely determined
by past decisions, the decisions and proposals it embodies will strongly
affect subsequent budgets. Thus, major program decisions on the 1977
budget significantly affect the swing from a projected $43 billion
deficit in 1977 to almost a $10 billion surplus in 1979.
The budgets for the last 6 years have emphasized the longer range
implications of current decisions by presenting 5-year projections of
Federal outlays and receipts. In the 1973 budget, detailed 5-year
projections of the costs of legislative proposals for major new and
expanded programs were added. In accordance with the Congressional
Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, this budget presents
projections by agency, major program, and function for each of the
years 1978 through 1981.
Basic assumptions.—The receipts projections presented below are
consistent with the foregoing economic assumptions, and with continuation of current tax laws as modified by the proposals contained
in this budget. The outlay and budget authority estimates indicate
the degree to which resources would be committed by the continuation
of existing and currently proposed programs at the program levels
recommended for 1977. These projections are not forecasts of future
receipts, outlays, or budget authority, because no attempt is made to
predict future decisions or their effects. Nor are the projections
recommendations, except to the extent that they are consistent with the
objective of restraining the growth in Federal spending, and to the
extent that they lead to a balanced budget in 1979.
In general, the outlay projections assume that program levels
remain level in current dollars except where there is an explicit
budget recommendation to increase or decrease program levels over
time. Allowances are also made for future cost-of-living adjustments
to benefit levels, Federal pay raises, and other cost increases. These
allowances are consistent with the economic assumptions outlined
above.
28
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
The Fiscal Outlook to 1981
The fiscal outlook.—Under
the assumptions used here, receipts are
projected to increase b y an average of 13.6% per year from 1977
to 1981, rising from $351 billion to $585 billion. Over the same
period, outlays for current programs and those proposed in this
budget are projected to rise by an average of 6.6% a year, from $394
billion to $510 billion. Thus, the budget is projected to move into
surplus in 1979 with increasingly large surpluses in subsequent years.

Receipts are projected to increase by 6 7 % from 1977 to 1981
due to growth in tax bases and an increase in the average effective
tax rate on personal income as rising real incomes and inflation move
people into higher tax brackets. This increase in effective tax rates,
which is implicit in a progressive income tax system, accounts for
about $50 billion of the total increase in individual income tax
receipts between 1977 and 1981. Over the past two decades, legislated
tax cuts have offset implicit increases of this nature. Without these
reductions, total Federal receipts would have risen to a much larger
percentage of G N P than they now claim.

Tax proposals included in this budget reduce individual and corporation income taxes by $28 billion in 1977 and $55 billion by 1981.
The largest reductions result from:
—tax reductions to take effect July 1, 1976, when temporary
tax cuts expire; these changes reduce income taxes by $28 billion
in 1977, and $39 billion by 1981; and
30
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 19 77
—integration of individual and corporation income taxation; this
proposal does not affect receipts in 1977, but reduces receipts
by $13 billion by 1981.
For a more detailed discussion of these and other tax proposals, see
Part 4.
Social insurance taxes and contributions, which have increased from
only 12% of receipts in 1955 to almost 31% two decades later, are
projected to increase by 61% between 1977 and 1981. Under current
law, the social security tax rate is scheduled to increase from the
current rate of 11.7% to 12.1% on January 1, 1978, and to 12.6% on
January 1, 1981. As part of the program to restore the fiscal integrity
of the Social Security trust fund, the President is proposing an additional 0.6 percentage points, effective January 1, 1977, to place the
social security system on a sounder financial basis. In addition to these
rate increases, the taxable earnings base is projected to increase,
automatically under current law, from its current level of $15,300
to $23,400 by January 1981. Legislation is also proposed to increase
the rate and base on which unemployment insurance taxes are collected. The combined effect of these proposed rate and base increases is
to raise receipts by over $5 billion in 1977 and by $11 billion by 1981.
Estate and gift taxes, customs, excise taxes, and miscellaneous
receipts are projected at $45 billion in 1981, an increase of $10 billion
from 1977. These estimates assume continuation of the 4^ per gallon
Federal excise tax on gasoline and other highway trust fund taxes, all
of which are scheduled to decline or expire on September 30, 1977.
Full-employment receipts is an analytical concept based on the
amount of income that would be generated if the economy were continually operating at full capacity (conventionally defined as a 4.0%
unemployment rate for the civilian labor force). Similarly, fullemployment outlays include only that portion of the outlays for benefits
under the regular unemployment insurance program that would be
paid if the economy were continuously operating at full capacity.
They thus eliminate the fluctuations in actual outlays for these
benefits due to year-to-year changes in the unemployment rate. The
differences between these adjusted receipts and outlay estimates are
called full-employment budget margins. Changes in these margins
from one year to the next provide a rough measure of the impact of
discretionary fiscal policy (i.e., excluding automatic stabilizers) on the
economy.

Full-employment outlays are estimated at $386 billion in 1977,
rising to $508 billion in 1981. Full-employment receipts are
projected to increase from $389 billion in 1977 to $607 billion in
1981. The full-employment margin gradually increases from $3
billion in 1977 to $99 billion in 1981.
While the full employment concept is traditionally defined in
terms of a hypothetical 4.0% unemployment rate, any other rate
would serve essentially the same analytic purpose, provided it remained fixed from year to year.
Budget trends.—The major trend in the composition of the budget
outlays over the last 20 years has been the rapid growth of domestic
assistance programs and the corresponding relative decline in spending
for direct Federal operations, particularly defense. Over the past two
decades, outlays for domestic assistance have been growing much
more rapidly than national output, and more rapidly than total
Federal outlays.
Direct Federal operations include Federal purchases of goods and
services for use in Government programs such as defense and space
exploration, compensation of Federal employees, payment of interest
on the public debt, and energy research and development. Domestic
assistance programs, in contrast, include payments to retired, disabled,
or unemployed workers, to lower-income families and individuals, and
aid to State and local governments.

Excludes military retired pay and grants classified in the national defense function.
The detailed composition of the 5-year projections of outlays and
budget authority is shown on pages 35-37 by major function and
agency. While total outlays increase by 29% from 1977 to 1981, outlays
for health, income security, natural resources, environment and
energy, and national defense increase faster than total outlays.
The five-year Defense projection is calculated on the basis of a
continuation of existing force and readiness levels. The Administration
will continue to review the adequacy of our force posture, including
surface naval capabilities in the year ahead. Projected outlays for
other functions, such as interest and general government decline
in relative terms but not absolutely. Outlays for education, training,
and social services are projected to decline, both in absolute and
relative terms in large part due to the anticipated fall in unemployment, and hence, to decreases in various employment and training
assistance programs. However, these trends are influenced by the
guidelines used in developing long-range projections. For example,
functions such as income security that consist largely of programs
indexed to the cost of living reflect assumptions about anticipated
inflation. Functions that consist largely of programs without such
mandatory adjustments appear to grow more slowly. Moreover,
the national defense function includes allowances for pay increases
and for increases in the prices of purchases of goods and services.
For the other functions these allowances are not shown on a functionby-function basis, but rather as a single entry. Thus, while the
functional trends may in some cases reflect the future implications of
current law and budget proposals, they are not predictions of the
likely eventual outcome.

The recent large increases and additions to domestic assistance
programs have, to some extent been offset by real reductions in
direct Federal operations, particularly defense. Thus, the rise in
outlays for health and for income security—to 45% of total outlays
by 1981, compared to 33% in 1971—indicates an increased response
to human needs, but also a long-range budgetary problem of fundamental importance if these programs were to grow in the future at
the same rate as they have in the past. The budget cannot accommodate the same rates of growth in the future, and maintain or
increase defense and other direct Federal activities unless the Federal
Government assumes an ever-increasing portion of GNP through
increased taxes.
Controllability.—Outlays in any one year are considered to be
relatively uncontrollable by the President when his decisions can
neither increase nor decrease them without changes in existing statutes.
Relatively uncontrollable outlays consist of two major categories:
open-ended programs and fixed costs, and payments out of prior-year
contracts and obligations. The percentage of open-ended programs
and fixed costs under current law is projected to reach 62% by 1981.
As recently as 1971 open-ended programs and fixed costs amounted
to less than 47% of the budget. The substantial growth since then
has been due primarily to the rapid increase in benefit payments
for individuals.

Includes as "relatively controllable outlays" in table 16 of Part 8.
In addition to open-ended programs and fixed costs, outlays for
"prior-year contracts and obligations" amount to an additional 15% to
20% of the budget and should be considered relatively uncontrollable
in the short run. Though these outlays cannot be projected beyond
the budget year, they suggest that the relatively uncontrollable
portion of the budget amounts to 75% to 80% of the total in the
short-run.
The degree of uncontrollability in the budget has obvious fiscal
policy implications. Without changes in legislation, attempts to control
total budget outlays fall on an increasingly smaller proportion of the
budget. The President has proposed legislation to change some of the
relatively uncontrollable programs. The effect of these proposals is
reflected in the line "relatively controllable outlays" in the above
table.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
BUDGET RECEIPTS
This section of the budget describes the major sources of budget
receipts and discusses the legislative proposals affecting them. In
addition, an analysis is provided of the difference between receipts for
1975, the last completed fiscal year, and the budget estimates for 1975
published 2 years ago. The detail of budget receipts by source is
shown in table 12 in Part 8, and the economic assumptions underlying
these estimates are presented in Part 3.
SUMMARY
Total budget receipts in 1977 are estimated at $351 billion, an increase of $54 billion from the $298 billion estimated for 1976. These
estimates reflect the effect of:
• The recently enacted Revenue Adjustment Act of 1975, which
reduced corporation and individual income tax liabilities for
calendar year 1976 and extended for the first half of that year the
withholding rates that were in effect during the last 8 months of
calendar year 1975.
• Proposed permanent reductions in individual and corporation
income taxes—larger than the temporary reductions now in
force—effective July 1, 1976.
• A proposed increase in the combined employer-employee social
security tax rate, effective January 1, 1977.
• A proposed increase in the unemployment insurance tax rate and
wage base as of January 1, 1977.
• Elimination of the import fees on crude oil and petroleum products
imposed in 1975.
Composition of budget receipts.—The Federal tax system relies
predominantly on income and payroll taxes. In 1977:
• Income taxes paid by individuals and corporations are estimated
at $154 billion and $49 billion, respectively. Combined, these
sources account for 58% of estimated total budget receipts.
• Social insurance taxes and contributions—composed largely of
payroll taxes levied on wages and salaries, most of which are paid
equally by employers and employees—will produce an estimated
$113 billion, 32% of the estimated total.
• Excise taxes imposed on selected commodities, services, and
activities are expected to provide $18 billion, 5% of the total.
• Other taxes and miscellaneous receipts will amount to an estimated $17 billion, the remaining 5% of the total.

Receipts under the full-employment concept.—While actual
receipts are affected by the level of economic activity, receipts calculated under the full-employment concept are based on estimates of
the amounts of personal and corporate income that would be generated
if the economy were continuously operating at full employment
(traditionally defined as unemployment equal to 4% of the civilian
labor force). Receipts that would be produced by existing and proposed
tax laws using this concept are estimated at $323 billion for 1975,
$347 billion for 1976, and $389 billion for 1977.
ENACTED AND PROPOSED TAX CHANGES
In the last year, two temporary tax reductions have been enacted,
the first generally applying to income received in calendar yeairs 1974
and 1975 and the second applying to income received in calendar year
1976. The President is proposing that permanent income tax reductions—larger than the temporary reductions now in effect—become
effective July 1, 1976, and that certain other tax changes be made.
This section discusses the tax reductions enacted in calendar year 1975
and the tax changes proposed by the President. The accompanying
table shows the dollar amounts of the changes by fiscal period.
The Tax Reduction Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-12) was enacted on
March 29, 1975. This act provided a partial rebate of calendar year
1974 individual income tax liabilities, a number of temporary reductions in individual and corporation income tax liabilities, and a few
permanent changes in the tax structure. The act also provided a
one-time $50 bonus to recipients of social security and certain other
social insurance programs and extended the maximum duration of
unemployment benefits from 52 weeks to 65 weeks through June 30,
1975.
42
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
The tax rebate was equal to 10% of calendar year 1974 tax liabilities, subject to minimum and maximum rebates. The minimum
rebate equaled the lesser of actual tax liability or $100, and the maximum rebate equaled $200. The maximum rebate phased down to
$100 between adjusted gross incomes (AGI) of $20,000 and $30,000.
The rebate totalled $8.1 billion, almost all of which was paid in
May and June of 1975.
The major temporary provisions of the Tax Reduction Act affecting
individual income tax liabilities—generally for calendar year 1975—
were:
—A $30 tax credit per personal exemption (except the special
exemptions for the blind and aged).
—An increase in the low income allowance (minimum standard
deduction) from $1,300 per return to $1,900 for a joint return or
$1,600 for a single person.
—An increase in the percentage standard deduction from 15% of
AGI with a maximum of $2,000 to 16% of AGI with a maximum
of $2,600 for a joint return or $2,300 for a single person.
—An earned income credit for families with dependent children
equal to 10% of earned income subject to a maximum of $400.
The maximum credit is phased down to zero between AGI or
earned income, whichever is greater, of $4,000 and $8,000. For
budget purposes, payments to recipients of such credit in excess
of tax liabilities otherwise owed are counted as outlays rather
than as reductions in receipts.
—A 5% credit, with a maximum of $2,000, on the price of a new
home acquired after March 12, 1975, and before January 1, 1976,
provided that construction began prior to March 26, 1975.
Most of the tax reductions applied to all of calendar year 1975.
However, since the act did not become law until the end of March, the
change in withholding schedules to reflect the reduction did not begin
until May 1, 1975. Withholding rates were then reduced to reflect
the full year's tax reduction; these withholding rate reductions were
greater than would have been necessary if such reductions had begun
on January 1, 1975.
The major temporary provisions affecting corporation income tax
liabilities were:
—An increase in the investment credit—applicable to equipment
acquired and put in service in calendar years 1975 and 1976—
from 7% (4% for public utilities) to 10%.1
1
This provision also applies to unincorporated businesses and therefore also directly affects
individual income taxes.
BUDGET RECEIPTS
43
—Corporate tax rate reductions for calendar year 1975, from 22%
to 20% on the first $25,000 of income and from 48% to 22% on
the second $25,000. The balance of income continued to be
taxed at 48%.
In addition to the temporary features discussed above, a few permanent tax changes were enacted. The most notable were limits on
percentage depletion and revisions in the tax treatment of certain
foreign income. Subject to exceptions, percentage depletion was eliminated for major producers of petroleum products. For small producers,
the percentage depletion rate remains at 22% through 1980 and then
phases down to a permanent rate of 15% in 1985.
As indicated above, most of the changes in the Tax Reduction Act
were only for calendar year 1975. On December 23, 1975, the Revenue
Adjustment Act oj 1975 (Public Law 94-164) was enacted, which effectively provided tax reductions for the first 6 months of calendar year
1976. For corporations, the act extended the rate reductions that were
enacted in the Tax Reduction Act of 1975. For individuals, however,
larger tax reductions (at an annual rate) were enacted in order to
maintain the withholding rates that applied during the last 8 months
of calendar year 1975.
To facilitate a comparison with the provisions of the Tax Reduction Act of 1975 listed above, the provisions described below—which
are applicable for only a half year—show the amounts that would
apply if the tax reductions for the first 6 months were in effect for a
full year. The major provisions of the Revenue Adjustment Act
affecting individuals are:
—A $35 tax credit per exemption (except the special exemptions
for the blind and aged) or an optional taxable income credit
equal to 2% of the taxpayer's taxable income up to $9,000,
whichever is larger.
—An increase in the low income allowance from $1,300 per return
to $2,100 for a joint return and $1,700 for a single person.
—An increase in the percentage standard deduction from 15% of
AGI with a maximum of $2,000 to 16% of AGI with a maximum
of $2,800 for a joint return or $2,400 for a single person.
—Extension of the earned income ciedit that was in effect for
calendar year 1975.
Since these provisions effectively apply to only half of calendar year
1976, the changes will be one-half of the amounts shown if further
legislative action is not taken. For example, the tax credit per exemption will be $17.50 instead of $35.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
The President is proposing income tax reductions—linked to
reductions in spending as proposed in this budget—to become effective
July 1, 1976. These proposed reductions will be permanent and will
be about $10 billion larger at an annual rate than the reductions in
the Revenue Adjustment Act of 1975 would be if they were extended
to a full year. The proposed further reductions will reduce 1977
receipts by about $28 billion. The major provisions affecting individual
income taxes—shown here as they will exist in their first full year of
effect—are: *
—An increase in the personal exemption from $750 to $1,000.
—Substitution of a flat standard deduction—$2,500 for joint
returns and $1,800 for single persons—for the low income allowance and percentage standard deduction.
—A reduction in tax rates.
For corporations, the President is proposing that the rate reductions and the increase in the investment credit enacted in the two
previous tax acts be made permanent. In addition, it is proposed that
the maximum corporation income tax rate be reduced from 48% to
46% and that legislation be enacted to provide tax relief to electric
utilities.
In addition to these changes, several tax incentives being proposed
by the President to encourage specific economic activity will reduce
individual and corporation income taxes. In order to encourage financial institutions to hold residential mortgages, a new tax credit is
proposed as part of the Financial Institutions Act to become effective
January 1, 1977. The credit will be a percentage of interest income
received on residential mortgages and will range from 1.5% to 3.8%
depending on the fraction of the institution's assets held in the form
of residential mortgages. Individuals holding residential mortgages
will be eligible for the credit at the 1.5% rate. Also, the current tax
provision that permits financial institutions to maintain excess bad
debt reserves would be phased out. These proposals, combined, reduce
receipts by $0.3 billion in 1977.
To stimulate employment in areas of particularly high unemployment (7% or greater), a tax incentive is proposed to encourage construction of new facilities, or expansion of old facilities, in such areas.
1
Combining the effect of the Revenue Adjustment Act and the President's tax reduction proposals
the spei :ific provisions that will apply to individual incomes received in calendar year 1976 are:
personal exemption of $875;
tax credit per exemption of $17.50 or a credit equal to 1 % of the taxpayer's income (up to
$9,000). whichever is larger;
low income allowance of $2,300 for a joint return and $1,750 for singles;
percentage standard deduction of 16% of AGI with a maximum of $2,650 for a joint return
and $2,100 for singles;
—an earned income credit equal to 5% of earned income with a maximum of $200; and
—an average of the rate structures in effect under the Revenue Adjustment Act and the President's tax reduction proposals.
BUDGET RECEIPTS
47
This will be accomplished by allowing, in addition to the full investment tax credit, very rapid amortization (one-half the useful life on
buildings; 5 years on all capital equipment) when a project in one of
these areas is begun between January 20, 1976, and a year later, and
completed within 36 months.
Tax incentives are also proposed to induce broader ownership of
common stock. This plan will provide a tax deferral for funds invested
in stock purchase plans established by employers or directly by
individuals. There will be a limit imposed on the maximum annual
contribution, and this maximum will be phased out at higher income
levels. Funds must remain invested for at least 7 years, and are
subject to tax at the time of withdrawal. This proposal will become
effective July 1, 1976, and the full deduction will be allowed for
calendar year 1976.
Integration of individual and corporation income taxation as outlined in Administration testimony last July is also proposed effective
January 1, 1978. The effect on receipts is reflected in the long-range
receipts estimates in Part 3.
Legislation will also be proposed to ease the burden of estate and
gift taxes on farms and other small businesses. This legislation will
not result in a significant loss in receipts.
The other major tax proposals in this budget are to increase social
security and unemployment trust fund taxes to place these funds on a
sounder financial basis. The combined employer-employee social
security tax rate will increase from 11.7% to 12.3% effective January
1, 1977. This rate change will increase receipts by $3.3 billion in
1977. Also proposed is an increase in the Federal unemployment
insurance tax rate (from 0.5% to 0.65%) and wage base (from $4,200
to $6,000) effective January 1, 1977. These changes will increase
1977 receipts by $2.1 billion.
CHANGES IN BUDGET RECEIPTS
Budget receipts are estimated to rise by $16.5 billion in 1976 and
$53.7 billion in 1977. The year-to-year changes can be divided between
those due to growth in the tax base and those due to revisions in the
tax structure. Under the tax rates and structure in effect on January 1,
1974, receipts would have risen by $19.4 billion in 1976 (from $290.8
billion to $310.2 billion) and by $61.1 billion in 1977 (from $310.2
billion to $371.3 billion). Thus, enacted and proposed tax law changes,
which are shown in the accompanying table, reduce the growth in
receipts by $2.9 billion in 1976 and by $7.4 billion in 1977.

RECEIPTS BY SOURCE
Individual income taxes.—Individual income tax receipts are
estimated at $130.8 billion in 1976 and $153.6 billion in 1977. As
discussed earlier, enacted and proposed tax reductions reduce receipts
from this source by $13.2 billion in 1976 and $24.4 billion in 1977.
In the absence of these tax law changes, individual income taxes would
increase by $34.0 billion in 1977 rather than by $22.8 billion as
projected here.
49
BUDGET RECEIPTS
Corporation income taxes.—Corporation income tax receipts are
estimated at $40.1 billion in 1976 and $49.5 billion in 1977. Enacted
and proposed tax law changes reduce these receipts by $2.7 billion in
1976 and $5.5 billion in 1977. In the absence of these changes, profits
taxes would increase by $12.2 billion in 1977, reflecting the large
increase in profits that is expected to accompany the economic
recovery.

Social insurance taxes and contributions.—Included
in this
category are social security and railroad retirement taxes, unemployment insurance taxes and deposits, Federal employee retirement
contributions, and premium payments for supplementary medical
insurance.
Receipts from this source are expected to total $113.1 billion in
1977, up by $20.5 billion from 1976. Proposed legislation, as described
earlier, accounts for $5.4 billion of this increase in 1977 receipts. These
receipt figures also reflect a statutory increase in the taxable earnings
base under social security from $14,100 to $15,300 effective January 1,
50
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
1976, and an anticipated increase from $15,300 to $16,500 effective
January 1, 1977, due to the operation of the automatic adjustment
mechanism provided in current law. The increase in January 1977
will be determined by the increase in the average taxable wage from
the first quarter of calendar year 1975 to the first quarter of calendar
year 1976, with the amount of the increase rounded to the nearest
multiple of $300.
Excise taxes.—Excise taxes are levied on a variety of products,
services, and activities. Receipts from these taxes in 1977 are estimated at $17.8 billion, which is $0.9 billion more than in 1976. Excise
tax receipts in both 1976 and 1977 reflect the continued phasing
out of the telephone excise tax. This tax rate was reduced from 7%
to 6% on January 1, 1976, and will be reduced to 5% on January 1,
1977.
Other receipts.—Estate and gift taxes, customs, and miscellaneous
receipts are estimated to total $17.3 billion in 1977, an increase of
$0.1 billion from 1976. The miscellaneous receipts estimate reflects
elimination of the import fees on crude oil and petroleum products
that were imposed by administrative action in 1975. Because of
recent court action challenging the legality of the imposition of these
import fees, all such fees collected after August 11, 1975, are being
held in a deposit fund. The budget estimates assume that this litigation is resolved in the Government's favor and include the fees in
1976 receipts.
In addition to budget receipts, the Government receives significant proprietary income from the public. This income is derived
from various market-oriented activities—such as rents, royalties, and
the sale of Government products and property (such as timber and
veterans life insurance). Since this income arises from business-type
transactions rather than from taxation, it is treated as an offset to
related outlays and budget authority rather than as budget receipts.
The detail of proprietary receipts from the public is shown in table
13 of Part 8.
ANALYSIS OF 1975 RECEIPTS
This section explains the differences between actual receipts by
major source for the last completed fiscal year and the original budget
estimates for that year. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires
that this information be included in each budget beginning with the one
for 1978. This kind of information was presented last year for 1974,
and is presented again this year for 1975, to facilitate the transition to
the new congressional budget process.
BUDGET RECEIPTS
51
As shown by the table below, receipts for 1975 were $14.0 billion
lowei than originally estimated in the budget for that year (submitted
in February 1974), largely because legislated tax changes were different from those assumed in the budget for individual and corporation income taxes.

Individual income taxes in 1975 were $6.6 billion lower than
originally estimated. The major cause was the Tax Reduction Act of
1975, which reduced individual income tax receipts in 1975 by $9.4
billion. Partially offsetting this legislated reduction were increases
amounting to about $3.0 billion. About $1.0 billion of this increase
resulted from congressional inaction on tax reform and simplification
proposals in the 1975 budget. Personal income in calendar year 1974
was about $20 billion higher than originally projected, accounting for
the remaining $2.0 billion increase.
Corporation income taxes were $7.4 billion below the original budget
estimate. About $3.8 billion of this reduction reflects differences in tax
law from what was proposed in the 1975 budget. The Tax Eeduction
Act of 1975 lowered corporation income tax receipts by $0.8 billion,
and inaction on a proposed windfall profits tax on the sale of domestic
crude oil lowered receipts by $3.0 billion. The remaining reduction of
$3.6 billion is composed of a $2.0 billion increase in refunds and a $1.6
billion decrease in tax payments. This net $3.6 billion reduction was
caused primarily by a lower effective tax rate than was originally
assumed and was not affected greatly by changes in corporate profits.
Corporate profits for calendar years 1973, 1974, and 1975 all affect
fiscal year 1975 collections. Profits for 1973 and 1975 were below the
original assumption while those for 1974 were above the original
estimate; the effects of these differences were largely offsetting.
52
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Social insurance taxes and contributions were $0.8 billion higher
than originally estimated, with almost all of the increase in higher
unemployment tax receipts. These were largely due to increased State
taxes deposited in the Treasury to finance unemployment benefits.
Social security taxes and other contributions for social insurance were
each within $0.1 billion of the original estimates.
Excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, and customs duties were below
the original estimates by $0.9 billion, $1.4 billion, and $0.1 billion,
respectively. Miscellaneous receipts were $1.6 billion above the
original estimate, largely because of higher deposits of earnings by
the Federal Reserve System ($1.1 billion) and the increased import
fees on petroleum and petroleum products in calendar year 1975
($0.4 billion).
PART 5
THE FEDERAL
PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
53
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
This section discusses budget outlays in terms of the major functions
or purposes being served. The functional structure groups the budget
authority, outlays, and tax expenditures of budget and off-budget
Federal agencies into relatively homogeneous categories to facilitate
understanding and analysis of the budget. To the extent feasible
these groupings transcend agency or organization lines.
Federal activities are classified in one, and only one, function.
Because most activities serve more than one purpose, it is necessary, in
deciding how they will be classified, to make judgments as to their
single most important purpose. Consequently, the total in a function
is not a complete measure of all Federal activity serving that purpose. For example, payments to retired military personnel are classified
in the national defense function, even though one of their major
purposes is the same as that of retirement payments to former civilian
employees of the Federal Government, which are classified in the
income security function. Thus, spending for income security is underestimated as a result of this classification of military retirement
benefits.
Some important Federal activities are not explicitly identified in the
functional classification structure. Housing is not. While all housing
programs have a common purpose—better housing—this purpose is
subordinated in the present functional classification to such other
purposes as community and regional development, income support,
aid to business, national defense, and veterans benefits and services.
With all its limitations, however, the functional classification has
proven to be a useful structure for the presentation of the Federal
program for nearly three decades.
Functional data appear in several other places in this and other
budget documents. The budget accounts listing (BAL) in Part 7
presents budget authority and outlays by agency and appropriation
account and includes an identification number indicating the functional classification of all accounts. Tables 14 and 15 in Part 8 show
budget authority and outlays by function, subfunction, and agency.
This information permits the functional and subfunctional totals
discussed in this section and in other parts of the budget to be crossreferenced to agency and account data in the BAL and the budget
appendix. Table 19 provides data on budget outlays by function and
subfunction for the years 1967 through 1977. Historical data on budget
outlays by function for the years 1940 through 1977 and by sub54
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
55
function for the years 1962 through 1977 are available upon request
from OMB. In addition, Special Analysis F of the budget shows tax
expenditure data by function. Part 6 of this budget document discusses
the criteria for the functional classification.
While budget outlays have been presented on a functional basis
since 1948, this classification has taken on new importance with
enactment of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Public Law 93344). Under terms of this act, Congress is now required to adopt at
least two concurrent resolutions on the budget each year. The first
resolution is to provide targets for budget authority and outlays
by major function; the process of authorizations and appropriations is to work in tandem with the first concurrent resolution to
ensure that congressional action on specific appropriations and authorizations is consistent with the overall targets. The second concurrent resolution adjusts the overall targets and converts them
into firm ceilings, including any directions to congressional committees
necessary to meet these ceilings. As a result, the functional structure
is now being used as a basis for budget review as well as a means of
displaying budget information.
FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN THE 1977 BUDGET
The functional classification structure used in the 1977 budget is
very close to that used in the 1976 budget. The principal changes from
the 1976 budget are as follows:
• The word "manpower" has been replaced by "training and employment" in function 500 and subfunction 504, and by the word
"labor" in subfunction 505. This word change has no effect on
the composition of the function.
• A new subfunction 155, "International financial programs," has
been established to show the Export-Import Bank separately from
subfunction 151 (foreign economic and financial assistance).
• A new subfunction 555, "General health financing assistance,"
has been added to accommodate a proposed block grant, "Financial Assistance for Health Care."
• Subfunction 252 (earth sciences) has been abolished; virtually
all of its outlays are now included in subfunction 306 (other
natural resources).
• To accommodate the broadening of the functional classification
to include off-budget Federal agencies, the title of subfunction
402 was changed from "Payment to the Postal Service" to
"Postal Service."
• In addition, a new subfunction 807 was established for the
Federal Financing Bank (FFB). Because, under law, the FFB is
not included in the budget (it is an "off-budget" Federal agency),
this does not affect the functional tables for the budget.

BUDGET TRENDS
The table on page 57 presents budget outlays by function for the
years 1969-77. Outlays for human resources increase $141.7 billion or
223% during this period, while spending for defense rises $20.9 billion
or 26% and outlays for all other categories expand by $46.9 billion or
115%. Among the other categories, the most rapid growth has been in
areas of new, but sustained, national interest—natural resources, environment, and energy; law enforcement and justice; and general
purpose fiscal assistance to State and local governments.
The "real" level of program change over this period is partially
masked since it reflects current dollar spending for a period marked by
high rates of inflation. Total budget outlays in 1977 constant prices
are estimated to be 16% higher in 1977 than in 1969; national defense
spending in constant prices will be 33% less in 1977 than in 1969,
while nondefense spending will be up 55%, as reflected in the chart
showing Federal outlays in constant 1977 dollars.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
TAX EXPENDITURES
While budget outlays are the most obvious method by which the
Federal Government allocates resources, other fiscal activities of the
Government also have large effects on resource allocation. Tax expenditures are a major example of such activity.
Tax expenditures are the revenue losses attributable to provisions of
the Federal income tax laws that allow a special exclusion, exemption,
or deduction from income or provide a special credit, a preferential
rate of tax, or a deferral of tax liability.
Ambiguities sometimes arise in determining whether a particular
section of the tax law represents a special provision leading to a tax
expenditure or whether it represents a part of the "normal tax
structure" which is not intended to convey a special advantage to
particular forms of economic activity or to individuals in special
circumstances. The tax expenditure concept is relatively new and it
will take time to resolve these ambiguities. As a result, this concept
can be expected to evolve through time. Special Analysis F, "Tax
Expenditures/ 7 in the Special Analyses volume of the budget, discusses
in detail conceptual and measurement issues involved in tax expenditures, and delineates the boundaries of the tax expenditure concept
that are used in the budget. It also presents an extended listing of tax
expenditures, including some that have not previously been identified.
Almost all tax expenditures serve either to encourage particular
economic activities or to reduce the taxes of persons considered to be
in adverse circumstances. Among the economic activities encouraged
are private investment, spending by State and local governments, and
support of charities. Among the persons whose tax burdens are
lightened are the aged, those with large medical expenses, and recipients of social insurance payments.
Tax expenditures are instruments of public policy and generally
can be viewed as alternatives to other Government fiscal action such
as direot outlays and credit programs. Consequently, the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974 requires that they now be included in the
budget—the central document dealing with Government resource
allocation. Most tax expenditures are readily classified into the same
functional categories as are spending programs. The more important of
these are discussed in the functional sections that follow in order to
compare them with outlay programs that serve the same broad functional purpose. However, some of the largest tax expenditures have
been classified into three functions that have no comparable outlays:
business investment, personal investment, and other tax expenditures.
The tax credit for investment in business equipment is the largest
item in the business investment category. The reduction in receipts
due to this credit is expected to be $9.3 billion in 1977 under the
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
59
Administration's proposal to make permanent an increase in the
credit that the Tax Reduction Act of 1975 temporarily provided.
Personal investment tax expenditures encourage investments by
individuals/The taxation of most realized capital gains at rates lower
than those which apply to ordinary income is estimated to reduce tax
receipts from individuals by over $6 billion in 1977. The deductibility
of mortgage interest and property taxes on owner-occupied homes
encourages investment in home ownership; the tax loss is estimated at
$7.7 billion. The exclusion from income of interest on life insurance
savings provides a $1.9 billion dollar tax expenditure that fosters
investment through life insurance.
The deductibility of charitable contributions is the largest among
"other tax expenditures." It is estimated to reduce 1977 receipts by
$4.5 billion.
Estimates of the magnitude of tax expenditures are based upon a
concept analogous to the outlays concept in spending programs. That
is, the current flow of assistance—rather than commitments that result
in future assistance—is estimated. A few cautions with respect
to the estimates should be noted. First, they do not always indicate
the increase in receipts that would initially appear if a given tax
expenditure were eliminated. In some cases, transitional effects would
limit increases for many years. Moreover, in the case of those tax
expenditures that encourage particular economic activities, eliminating
the tax expenditure might lead to a decline in the activity and hence
to a smaller increase in receipts than the estimate suggests, or even
to a decline in receipts. Similarly, on the outlay side, eliminating a
given income security program might lead to greater outlays under
other programs and hence to a smaller saving than the outlays of the
eliminated program.
Second, the estimated revenue increase that would result from
eliminating some combination pf tax expenditures is not, in general,
equal to the sum of each tax expenditure estimated separately. The
overall revenue gain may be greater if, for example, the elimination
of multiple exclusions moves taxpayers into higher tax brackets.
Alternatively, it may be smaller if the elimination of multiple deductions caused taxpayers to switch from itemizing deductions to using
the standard deduction. Thus, tax expenditures should not be simply
added together. In a few cases, totals that take account of interactions
have been computed and are presented.
Third, because tax expenditures are measured as departures from
the structure established by the rest of the income tax system, changes
in that structure affect the magnitude of tax expenditures. For
example, the Tax Reduction Act of 1975 and the Revenue Adjustment
Act of 1975 made major increases in the standard deduction, with the
result that many tax expenditures are smaller in 1976 than in 1975.
60
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Moreover, if changes in tax expenditures brought about major shifts in
the size or distribution of the tax burden, accompanying adjustments
in the rest of the tax system—for example, changes in the tax rate
tables—might be expected to alter or offset their effect.
Finally, in the case of items for which information is not reported
on tax returns—for instance, social security benefits or tax exempt
interest income from State and local debt—estimates may involve
sizable uncertainty even for prior years.
OTHER FEDERAL FISCAL ACTIVITIES
The Federal Government allocates resources by means other than
those reflected in budget outlays and tax expenditures. Activities most
similar in nature to budget outlays are the outlays of the off-budget
Federal agencies, which are federally owned and controlled but
excluded from the budget under provisions of laws, and the outlays
of the Government-sponsored enterprises, which are privately owned
but were established by the Federal Government to perform specialized
functions. Also, Federal credit guarantees and the regulation of
economic activity have major impacts on the economy in many
sectors. Finally, taxation affects the allocation of resources among
private uses and the distribution of income among individuals in
many important ways not covered by tax expenditures. Federal
taxes other than income taxes affect the economy, as also do tax
rates, personal exemptions, and other features of the income taxes
that are not treated as tax expenditures.
In order to set many of these activities in perspective with budget
outlays and tax expenditures, the description of Federal programs
by function includes discussion of off-budget Federal agencies,
Government-sponsored enterprises, credit guarantees, and major
initiatives or changes in economic regulation. Further discussion of
off-budget Federal agencies and Government-sponsored enterprises
is contained in Part 2. A more thorough analysis of Federal credit
programs generally is presented in Special Analysis E, "Federal
Credit Programs/ 1 in the Special Analyses volume of this budget.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
61
NATIONAL DEFENSE
The national defense function includes the funds to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of the United States and to provide
military assistance to foreign governments.
Program
Highlights
• Continue the increase begun in 1976 that reversed the
7-year decline in real defense resources.
• Further modernize strategic and general purpose forces
to deter nuclear and conventional attacks.
• Improve the readiness, combat effectiveness, and structure of general purpose forces within current personnel
levels.
• Reduce programs that do not contribute directly to
combat effectiveness, and lower civilian personnel levels
accordingly.
The fundamental goal of the defense establishment is to ensure the
freedom and security of the United States and to protect the vital
interests of the United States throughout the world.
To ensure that American defense forces remain adequate to meet
these goals, an increase in funding—beyond what is necessary to
offset inflation—is essential. This increase will permit the development
and procurement of up-to-date military equipment needed to improve
the effectiveness of our combat forces. Proposed outlays for national
defense programs rise from $92.8 billion in 1976 to $101.1 billion in
1977, and to $112.9 billion in 1978.
To achieve the improvements needed, while staying within the
proposed budget, requires further increases in the efficiency of the
defense establishment. Toward this objective reductions are proposed
in personnel levels, benefits, and support activities that make only
marginal contributions to combat effectiveness. Many of these reductions will require legislation. Without such legislation additional funds
would be required.
Department of Defense.—The national security goals of the
Department of Defense are to:
• maintain a worldwide military balance, in conjunction with our
allies, and thus reduce the threat of war;
62
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR
1977
• deter any attack against the United States, its allies, and other
nations vital to United States security; and, if deterrence fails,
ensure an outcome favorable to the United States; and
• assure the flow of ocean-going trade and supplies b y protecting
the sea lanes that are vital to the national security and economic
well-being of the United States, its allies, and its trading partners.

Information on budget authority for 1975, 1976, and the transition quarter is shown in table 14
of Part 8.
United States forces as proposed in this budget, together with
allied forces, are sufficient to meet these goals. Despite an increase in
Soviet defense spending, military personnel levels, and equipment
modernization, an acceptable military balance exists in the world
today, primarily due to four factors:
• An effective strategic deterrent has been maintained through
selected force improvements.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
63
• United States and allied forces have been strengthened by the
introduction of modern tactical aircraft, the continuing modernization of the surface fleet, and increased purchases of tanks,
antitank weapons, and other ground force equipment and
munitions.
• The fighting capability of the defense establishment has been
improved—without an increase in overall personnel levels—by
the conversion of support resources into combat resources. The
number of Army divisions has been expanded from 13 in 1974 to
16 in 1976, while the total number of military personnel has
remained at 2.1 million. The combat effectiveness of the tactical
air forces and naval forces has also been improved.
• Much of the Soviet military increase has been directed toward
the Chinese bolder.
The United States seeks to reduce military expenditures and international tensions through negotiations. These include the strategic
arms limitation talks with the Soviet Union and discussions on mutual
and balanced force reductions in central Europe between NATO
and Warsaw Pact members. Effective agreements can be reached,
however, only if United States and allied forces remain at least as
strong as those of potential adversaries.
To maintain the military balance in the interim, the 1977 budget
contains proposals to carry forward the increase in Army divisions,
continue the modernization of ground, sea, and tactical air equipment,
and improve the readiness of the combat forces. These measures
will require continuing budget increases, over and above amounts
needed to offset inflation.
To moderate the increases in resources that are required to maintain
U.S. military strength, the 1977 budget contains the following
proposals to increase the efficiency of the defense establishment:
• restrain the growth in compensation levels;
• reduce civilian personnel positions by consolidating headquarters and other base facilities;
• phase out subsidies for the operating costs of military commissaries over a 3-year period;
• eliminate dual compensation of Federal employees on active duty
for training with the National Guard or Reserve;
• reduce temporary duty and permanent change-of-station travel;
• reduce petroleum consumption for proficiency flying programs
through greater use of smaller aircraft and ground training aids;
• reduce the scope of the civil defense program, while continuing to
support nuclear attack preparedness activities at the State and
local level;
• hold new construction below 1976 levels; and
• reduce the paid drill strength of the Naval Reserve by 40,000.
64
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR
19 77
Most of these actions require the approval of Congress. If these
actions are not approved, additional defense appropriations of up to
$2.8 billion would be required in 1977. These amounts cannot be offset
by reductions in resources needed for basic defense preparedness.

Estimate
As shown in the accompanying chart, increases in the total current
dollar military budget were insufficient to offset inflation during the
1968-75 period. This resulted in a 7-year decline in Department of
Defense military functions and military assistance budget resources
when measured in dollars of constant 1977 purchasing power. This
decline was reversed in 1976, and further increases proposed for 1977
would continue to improve purchasing power. This chart is in terms
of total obligational authority—current budget authority enacted
each year by Congress, plus previously enacted authority that is
transferred to subsequent years.
The following table summarizes the total obligational authority for
Department of Defense military functions and military assistance on
the basis of major missions.

Strategic forces.—The principal objective of strategic forces is to
deter nuclear attack, or the threat of attack, against the United States
or its allies by maintaining:
• overall balance with Soviet strategic forces;
© no perceived advantage to the Soviet Union of a first use of
strategic weapons; and
© the ability to counter rapidly any adverse change in the strategic
balance.
Arms control negotiations are being pursued to stabilize the strategic
balance and eventually to reduce the level of forces. Both as an aid
to these negotiations and as a safeguard if they are not successful,
research and development efforts will continue to improve weapon
systems.
The 1977 strategic program of $9.4 billion in total obligational
authority continues the planned modernization of strategic forces and
provides options for more extensive future modernization. Major
efforts, including those funded under research and development, are:
• development of the B-l bomber to strengthen and update
strategic bomber forces, and initial procurement of the B-l if
test results are favorable;
• continued development and procurement of the Trident missile
and submarine to give the seagoing strategic forces greater range
and less vulnerability;
• further development of a new intercontinental ballistic missile
for deployment in the mid-1980's;
66
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
• full-scale development of long-range strategic cruise missiles for
aircraft, submarine, or surface ship deployment;
• increases in the accuracy of ballistic missile warheads;
• improvement of technology for ballistic missile defense systems;
and
• further improvements in systems for early warning of attack and
for command, control and communications.
General purpose forces.—Land, sea, and air forces in this category
are intended to deter or counter threats short of strategic nuclear conflict. These threats range from isolated incidents to major sustained
conventional warfare and tactical nuclear conflict. The objective of
general purpose forces is to deter such conflicts wherever possible and,
where deterrence is not possible, to ensure an outcome favorable to
the United States. Recommended total obligational authority for
general purpose forces is $40.2 billion in 1977.
For the last 2 years a major effort has been underway to increase
combat readiness and effectiveness so that U.S. forces are better
prepared for short, intense conflicts. New combat units have been
established by making offsetting reductions in headquarters and
general support activities. A major initiative in the 1976 budget was to
increase the number of active Army divisions from 13 to 16. All 16
divisions have now been established and further actions in 1977 will
bring the new divisions up to combat strength. The Administration's
efforts in this direction will continue in 1977 with a program that adds
the equivalent of four wings to the Air Force with no overall increase
in total military personnel.
Both qualitative and quantitative improvements in land forces
are provided for in the 1977 budget. The production of helicopters and
antitank guided missiles will continue, and tank production will be
increased in order to permit the eventual conversion of two light infantry divisions into mechanized divisions and to rebuild inventory
levels by replacing tanks provided to Israel. Major new systems under
development for support of land forces include the advanced XM-1
tank, a mechanized infantry combat vehicle, and an attack helicopter.
The combat effectiveness of the tactical air forces will be increased as
more F-14 and F-15 fighters are purchased. Air Force air-to-ground
capabilities will be improved with the introduction of the A-10 aircraft, specifically developed to support ground combat units. Air combat fighters are under development for both the Air Force and Navy,
with initial production of the Air Force F-16 air combat fighter scheduled in 1977. This aircraft will meet the varied defense requirements
of the United States and a number of NATO nations. Significant
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
67
savings will be realized through shared production and a high rate of
procurement. Inventory requirements for the Navy A-6 attack aircraft have been met and production of this aircraft will be discontinued.
Procurement of 15 new ships in 1977 will support continued efforts
to modernize general purpose naval forces and rebuild the size and capability of the fleet. In 1965 the United States had 936 warships with an
average age of 16 years. In 1976 the fleet will have 480 active warships
with an average age of 14 years. Fleet readiness will be improved
through increasing overhauls and intermediate maintenance. Three
nuclear-powered attack submarines, designed to hunt down and
destroy enemy submarines, will be procured in 1977. Procurement of
eight guided-missile frigates will provide increased protection of
amphibious force ships, replenishment ships, and merchant convoys
from air, surface, and subsurface attacks.
The 1977 shipbuilding program includes a nonnuclear destroyer and
long-lead funding for a nuclear-powered strike cruiser. Both ships will
carry the Aegis weapon system that will increase the ability of the
fleet to counter the air and cruise missile threat in the 1980's and
beyond. Maintenance capability will be increased through the purchase of several fleet support vessels. These vessels will replace aging
units and provide the additional facilities needed to repair, maintain,
and supply the new combat ships now entering the fleet.
Airlift and sealijt forces,—Effective transportation ie required to
enable U.S. forces to respond on short notice to threats against U.S.
interests throughout the world, to assist nations whose security is
important to the welfare of the United States, and to sustain American forces abroad. Strategic transport capabilities will be increased to
enable adequate U.S. forces to be deployed and sustained in the
critical early days of an intense conflict overseas. To achieve these
objectives, total obligational authority of $1.6 billion is being requested for 1977.
Proposed modifications will improve and extend the service life of
the C-5 and C-141 aircraft. In addition, there will be an evaluation in
1977 among existing large transport aircraft to select a new tanker/
cargo aircraft to be procured in 1978. Portions of the Civil Reserve
Air Fleet will be modified to permit the air transport of oversized
cargo. This will enable commercial aircraft to support active forces
more effectively in either a mobilization or a combat situation.
The sealift program provides transportation for heavy armored
equipment and munitions, as well as petroleum products and dry
cargo. Special ships are also necessary for oceanography, cable maintenance, and the tracking of missiles and space vehicles.
68
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR
1977
Guard and Reserve forces.—The effectiveness of Reserve forces will
be increased by modernizing equipment and associating designated
National Guard and Reserve units more closely with specific active
force units. Emphasis will be placed on better management of Reserve
personnel. Naval Reserve paid drill strength will be reduced by 40,000
through the transfer of these positions to the Individual Ready
Reserve in those cases where readiness still can be maintained through
summer training.
Research and development.—Technological superiority of U.S. forces
depends upon adequate investment in research and development. To
maintain this superiority, recommended total obligational authority
will increase to $10.5 billion in 1977, $1.8 billion above the 1976 level.
Strategic weapon systems development will continue on the B—1
aircraft, the Trident submarine and missile system, a new intercontinental ballistic missile system, strategic cruise missiles and warhead
improvements, as will research on ballistic missile defense technology.
Research and development activities will also continue the major
modernization of general purpose forces started in previous years. The
Army development program includes a new tank, infantry combat
vehicle, attack and transport helicopters, and air defense system. The
Navy will develop the F-18 air combat fighter to complement the
sophisticated F—14 fleet defense aircraft. The Navy will also continue
development of improved fleet air defense and antisubmarine systems.
Full-scale development of a tactical cruise missile will lead to a more
effective attack capability for ships.
The Air Force will continue development of the F-46 air combat
fighter. In addition, work will proceed on systems capable of neutralizing enemy air defenses and on exploration of the combat potential of
high-energy lasers and vehicles piloted by remote control. Funding
for a major new aeropropulsion systems test facility will be provided
in 1977. This facility will be required for the development and testing
of advanced military aircraft engines and will result in substantial
future savings in the development costs of such engines.
Training, medical, and other general personnel support activities.—The
increased wages and other pay and benefit improvements associated
with pay comparability and the decision to shift to an all-volunteer
military force have significantly raised the cost of personnel. As
shown in the accompanying table, total personnel-related costs increased from 43% of the Department of Defense budget in 1964 to
over 54% beginning in 1974.

Department of Defense military functions and military assistance.
Several actions are proposed to moderate the increase in pay-related
costs.
• Civilian personnel employment levels will be reduced.
• The housing system of the Department of Defense will be reformed gradually to eliminate inequities between the value of
housing directly received and the allowances provided in lieu of
housing. As a first step, future military pay raises will be allocated differently among the various pay components.
• Enlistment bonuses are being reduced, and the need to extend
legislation authorizing annual bonuses for physicians as a recruitment and retention device will be reexamined.
• Legislation to replace the basic pay of future cadets at the Service
academies with a method of compensation more appropriate for
students—the payment of expenses plus a monthly allowance—
will be requested.
• Congress will be requested to enact the Defense Officer Personnel
Management Act. This act is designed to match better the
military work force with job requirements, in terms of rank and
length of service.
• New personnel policies will reduce both the costs of military travel
and the adverse effects of frequent transfers on the morale of
military personnel and their dependents.
• Training times will be reduced, personnel will be assigned to
permanent duty stations as soon as possible after training, and
training sites will be consolidated where feasible.
• Legislation has been proposed to reform gradually the career
incentives in the military retirement system. Legislation is also
proposed to revise the formula for the cost-of-living adjustment
70
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
for civilian and military retired pay. This will eliminate provisions
that increase annuities by one percentage point more than the
Consumer Price Index increase.
• Legislation will be proposed to reform aspects of the law governing
wage-board pay rates that result in Government civilian bluecollar workers earning more than their non-Government counterparts. The budgetary effect of this legislation on outlays of the
Department of Defense is included in the defense function.
Further savings will result as the recommendations of a recently
completed comprehensive review of the military health care system
are implemented. Developed by the Department of Defense, the
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Office of
Management and Budget, these recommendations would result in
more efficient operations and reduced outlays for the military health
care system in the future.
Military assistance.—Military assistance grants, credit sales,
and training of foreign military personnel furnish other countries the
support necessary to strengthen their own defense efforts. These
programs are discussed in the section on international affairs.
Atomic energy defense activities.—Nuclear weapons research,
development, underground testing, and production activities are expected to remain at about 1976 levels. Additional funds are requested
for safety, environmental, and waste storage improvements as well as
cost increases. The physical security of nuclear weapons and nuclear
materials at Government sites will continue to be improved.
Defense-related activities.—To end the annual registration for
the draft during peacetime, the Selective Service System will be reformed. This reform will yield an annual outlay savings of $33 million
beginning in 1977.
Realization of an estimated $870 million in stockpile receipts is
dependent upon market conditions and the passage by Congress of
$746 million in disposal authority for certain commodities that are in
excess of current needs. Receipts from the sale of excess strategic
stockpile commodities under existing disposal authority are estimated
at $124 million in 1976.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The international affairs function includes programs to achieve a
range of United States economic and security objectives. It is composed of foreign economic and financial assistance, the conduct
of foreign affairs, foreign information and exchange activities, and
international financial programs.
Program
Highlights
• Contribute to a lasting peace in the Middle East.
• Participate in efforts to strengthen the international
trade and monetary system.
• Pursue U.S. initiatives toward creating more cooperative
relationships between the developed and developing
countries.
• Focus development assistance on the needs of the poorest
group of nations.
The achievement of peace throughout the world is this Nation's
foremost international goal. The most immediate threat to that peace
has been in the Middle East, an area of great importance to the
United States. This country has made a major effort to bring peace
to the region, and the recent agreement between Israel and Egypt
is an encouraging sign of progress. The United States, in concert with
the nations of the area, will continue its efforts to promote a durable
settlement.
America's prosperity and the health of the world economy are
closely linked. The United States must, therefore, promote a world
economic system that ensures stability and progress for both developed
and developing nations alike. The United States is committed to work
with the other industrial nations to assure the rapid recovery of their
economies, to accelerate completion of trade negotiations, to achieve
monetary reform, and to foster economic growth in the developing
nations. Outlays for international affairs are expected to total $6.8
billion in 1977 and $7.8 billion in 1978.

By law, the Export-Import Bank is excluded from the budget totals from August 17, 1971
through September 30, 1976. Total outlays for the international affairs function including the ExportImport Bank would have been $5,862 million in 1975; $7,023 million in 1976; and $1,704 million in
the transition quarter.
FOREIGN AID
The United States undertakes a variety of programs designed to
further U.S. objectives by directly assisting developing countries.
Foreign aid programs consist of two major components: military
assistance (included in the national defense function) and foreign
economic and financial assistance.
Military assistance.—Defense materiel and services are provided by
the United States to selected countries for their internal security and
self-defense, and to permit the recipient country to participate in
regional or collective security arrangements. Military assistance, administered by the Department of Defense and included in the national
74
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
defense function, is an integral part of the overall American foreign
aid effort.
Budget authority of $840 million is requested to support a military
credit sales program of $2.1 billion, a substantial portion of which will
be for Israel. About $704 million will be in direct credits requiring
budget authority of the same amount. The remainder of the program
will be guaranteed loans for which the funds will be provided by the
Federal Financing Bank. These loans require a guaranty reserve of
10% and thus budget authority of $136 million.
The Administration's budget proposals are based upon a continued
transition from an emphasis on grant military assistance to an emphasis
on foreign military sales credits. In 1977, budget authority for grant
military assistance will decline from the 1976 level of $394 million to
$279 million, and the number of recipient countries will also be
reduced. Total outlays for military assistance are estimated to be
$739 million in 1977. This estimate is $200 million higher than that
shown in the section on national defense because of the exclusion here
of net trust fund outlays related to military cash sales.
Foreign economic and financial assistance.—Provided bilaterally and multilaterally, this assistance is designed to: contribute to
U.S. security objectives; facilitate the economic growth of the developing countries; and respond to the needs of the poorest people of
the world for food, shelter and other necessities of life.
Security supporting assistance provides economic assistance to
selected countries and encourages progress toward a lasting negotiated
settlement in the Middle East. Budget authority of $1.8 billion is
being requested in 1977, primarily for aid to the Middle East.
A Middle East special requirements fund of $35 million is also being
requested to defray the costs of the Sinai Support Mission and to
allow an additional measure of flexibility in responding to unforeseen
events.
Multilateral development assistance.—This assistance is provided
through contributions to the international financial institutions (the
World Bank Group and the regional development banks) and for development programs of international organizations (principally within
the United Nations system). It has become an increasingly important
component of foreign economic development assistance. Multilateral
assistance encourages increased contributions from other donors and
mobilizes private resources for the development effort. For 1977,
$1.2 billion in budget authority is requested for this assistance, with
estimated outlays of $1.1 billion.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
The international financial institutions extend long-term loans to
developing countries to finance development projects. It is proposed
that in 1977 the United States contribute $375 million to the International Development Association, $171 million to the Asian Development Bank, and $440 million toward a new capital replenishment of the Inter-American Development Bank. In addition, a United
States contribution of up to $42 million is proposed for the International Finance Corporation to stimulate private sector activities in
the developing nations.
Voluntary contributions of $178 million are proposed for 10 international organizations and programs primarily oriented toward
economic assistance and humanitarian relief. The largest of these is
the United Nations Development Program.
Authorization has been granted to allow the United States to
contribute one-fifth, but no more than $200 million, of the total
amount mobilized in a new International Fund for Agricultural Development to help finance agricultural production projects in developing countries. Contributions from all sources are expected to
total $1 billion.
Two other major initiatives to hasten the economic growth of the
developing nations are being pursued through the International
Monetary Fund (IMF). Neither of these affects the budget totals.
The United States has proposed a special trust fund within the IMF
to extend concessional aid to the poorer developing nations, financed
in part with funds received by the sale of gold now held by the IMF.
The United States also supports changes in the operations of the IMF's
compensatory financing facility that will make increased IMF resources available to developing nations that suffer sudden shortfalls
in their export earnings.
Bilateral development assistance, provided primarily by the Agency
for International Development (AID), concentrates aid on the
neediest people in the poorer countries. This program emphasizes
expanding agricultural development, checking rapid population
growth, and improving basic health and education services.
Because the economies of some developing countries have progressed, they no longer need highly concessional assistance from AID.
This, combined with the availability to many developing nations of
other public and private sector sources of capital and technical
assistance, has permitted the Administration tb reduce its budget
request somewhat below the amount originally sought in authorizing
legislation for 1977.

Food for Peace helps alleviate hunger and malnutrition in developing
countries by providing concessional loans and grants to finance
agricultural imports from the United States. Most of the food goes to
the poorer countries, with grants focused on the poorest-fed groups in
in those countries.
Migration and refugee assistance is conducted through American
voluntary agencies, the United Nations, and the Intergovernmental
Committee on European Migration. A 1976 appropriation of $25
million is requested to establish a new emergency refugee and migration assistance fund. No additional budget authority is requested
for the fund in 1977.
International narcotics control assistance is provided to foreign governments and international organizations to control the production,
processing, and illegal trafficking in dangerous drugs in an effort to
curtail their flow into the United States.
The Peace Corps, which will have approximately 5,700 volunteers in
67 countries during 1977, will concentrate its efforts on agriculture,
health and nutrition, education, and conservation.
78
THE BTJDGET FOR FISCAL TEAR 1977
OTHER INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Conduct of foreign affairs.—Outlays for the administration of
worldwide U.S. diplomatic and consular responsibilities will increase
by $73 million in 1977. About $45 million of this increase results
from the State Department financing certain administrative services
provided to, and previously funded by, other agencies. It does not
represent a net increase in budget totals. Most of the remaining
increase is due to sharply rising wages and prices abroad. Budget
authority is also requested to begin construction of a new embassy
complex in Moscow.
Outlays for international organizations and conferences increase by
$21 million, primarily reflecting increased assessments for membership
in international organizations. Outlays for the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and the International Trade Commission increase
slightly in 1977, while those for the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission decrease due to the completion of two claims programs.
Foreign information and exchange activities.—Proposed outlays will decrease $13 million in 1977. The decrease in foreign information activities largely reflects savings to the Board for International
Broadcasting resulting from the consolidation of the management
and operation of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. The activities
of the U.S. Information Agency and the educational exchanges of
the Department of State will also decline in 1977.
International financial programs.—The Export-Import Bank
promotes United States exports by extending direct loans to overseas
buyers, discount loans and guarantees to American banks, and insurance to American exporters. Direct loans in 1977 are estimated to
increase from $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion; discount loans will be
reduced to $1.0 billion as a step toward eventual termination of the
program; and insurance and guarantees are projected at $8.8 billion.
The Bank's budget authority and outlays, excluded by law from the
budget totals since 1971, is included again beginning in 1977. Outlays to finance these activities are estimated at $1.3 billion in 1977.
Pending legislation would enable the United States to provide loan
guarantees to the Financial Support Fund for the industrial countries.
The fund will be available to member countries with major balance
of payments difficulties. No budget authority is required in 1977.
Tax expenditures.—The international affairs function contains a
number of tax expenditures that promote international trade and

79
investment. T h e largest—the deferral of taxes on profits of domestic
international sales corporations—is expected to reduce U.S. Treasury
receipts b y $1.6 billion in 1977.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
GENERAL SCIENCE, SPACE, AND TECHNOLOGY
The general science, space, and technology function includes the
space research and technology programs of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA), the physical science programs of
the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), and
all activities of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Outlays for
general science, space, and technology are estimated at $4.5 billion in
1977, an increase of $196 million over 1976, and $4.6 billion in 1978.
Program Highlights
• Continue development and testing of the space shuttle,
but defer procurement of a third space shuttle vehicle in
recognition of the need for fiscal restraint.
• Improve technologies for surveying natural resources and
weather forecasting from space.
• Strengthen the Federal Government's overall support for
basic science through programs of the National Science
Foundation and the Energy Research and Development
Administration.
• Provide for construction of a positron-electron colliding
beam facility in high energy physics to develop and test
new theories on the ultimate nature of matter.

Activities in this function are only a small part of the Federal
Government's support of scientific research and development. Most
of this support appears in other functions to which the research and
development is related, such as the functions that cover energy,
health, and defense. In addition, a tax provision, which permits private
industry to treat research and development expenses as current costs,
rather than as capital investments to be depreciated over a period of
years, will provide an estimated $0.7 billion in tax expenditures that
support research and development in 1977. Special Analysis P,
"Federa Research and Development Programs," in the Special
Analyses volume of the Budget, discusses the full range of such
Federal activities.
Space research and technology.—This category consists entirely
of NASA funds for manned space flight; space science, applications,
and technology; and supporting space activities.
Outlays for space research and technology in 1977 are proposed to
be $3.3 billion, $149 million greater than in 1976. The increase in 1977
is primarily for the continued development of the space shuttle.
82
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Manned space flight.—Manned space flight activities will be concentrated on development of the space shuttle. The shuttle is a reusable space vehicle which will be the key element of a transportation
system that will provide a major advance in U.S. space capabilities
beginning in the early 1980's. Outlays for manned space flight will be
$1.9 billion in 1977, $130 million higher than in 1976.
During 1976 and 1977 NASA will reach major milestones in the
shuttle development program, including the roll-out of the first completed shuttle orbiter in September 1976 and the performance of a
series of approach and landing tests beginning in 1977. The first
manned orbital flight of the shuttle orbiter is scheduled for 1979.
One of the first payloads to be carried into orbit by the space shuttle
will be a space laboratory, which is being developed cooperatively with
the European Space Agency.
In keeping with the Administration's efforts to restrain Federal
spending, procurement of a third shuttle orbiter is being deferred for
consideration in 1978. Certain shuttle-related payload and support
activities will also be reduced or delayed in order to restrain outlays
in the 1977 budget.
Space science, applications, and technology.—The 1977 budget
provides funds to continue exploration of the solar system and the
universe using automated spacecraft. Outlays for space science, applications, and technology will be $1.1 billion in 1977.
The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft launched in 1972 and 1973 sent
back pictures of Jupiter in 1974 and are continuing their exploration of
the outer planets. Pioneer 10 is leaving the solar system and Pioneer
11 will fly past Saturn in 1979. Two unmanned Viking spacecraft
launched in the late summer of 1975 are en route to Mars and will
begin to search for life on the surface of that planet in July 1976. Work
is going forward on spacecraft that will explore the atmosphere of
Venus in 1978 and fly past Jupiter and Saturn by 1979.
In addition to projects to explore the planets, satellites are being
developed to conduct astronomy from Earth orbit. Development will
continue in 1977 of high energy and ultraviolet astronomy observatories that will orbit Earth to study the composition of the galaxy and
distant parts of the universe. Development of a satellite to be launched
in 1979 to study the next peak of solar flare activity will be initiated
in 1977.
In the applications program, a third Earth resources technology
satellite (LANDSAT) is being developed to gather information from
space for agricultural forecasting, geological surveys, and other applications. Also the first of a series of new satellites to provide major
improvements in weather forecasting will be launched in 1978. Work
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
83
is continuing on a satellite to be launched in 1978 to locate and map
potential geothermal sources of energy. A satellite to monitor the
Earth's pollution is being prepared for a 1978 launch, and another will
monitor ocean conditions and provide improvements in weather prediction and oceanography. In 1977 development will start on a new
satellite to be launched in 1980 that will improve mapping of the
Earth's magnetic field.
As part of efforts to restrain Federal spending, several new satellites
previously planned to be initiated in 1977 will be postponed for
consideration in 1978.
Supporting space activities.—Funds are included under this heading
to provide tracking and data support to the existing fright programs
and to encourage broader utilization of space technology for commercial uses. Outlays for supporting space activities will be $349
million in 1977.
General science and basic research.—The 1977 budget includes
funds to assist in providing balanced Federal support of basic research in all scientific disciplines. Outlays for general science and
basic research will be $1.2 billion in 1977.
National Science Foundation.—Proposed budget authority for the
iVational Science Foundation will increase by $87 million to $805
million from 1976 to 1977. There will be an increase of almost 20%
in obligations for the conduct of basic research, from $523 million to
$625 million. This increase will apply to all fields of basic research,
but particularly to the physical and life sciences. Growth will continue
in international scientific programs such as the international decade
of ocean exploration and in national programs such as the climate
dynamics program. Funds for the U.S. Antarctic research program
will also increase due primarily to additional costs of logistic support.
The program of research applied to national needs (RANN) will continue with a focus on environment, productivity, and natural resources.
Energy Research and Development Administration.—Funds for high
energy physics research will increase to provide for the construction of
a large positron-electron colliding beam facility at the Stanford
Linear Accelerator Center. The use of this facility can lead to a new
depth of understanding of elementary particles and the fundamental
laws of physics. The 1977 budget also provides for the continued
utilization of four existing national accelerator facilities. These highenergy facilities assist scientists in advancing knowledge of the basic
nature of matter. In addition, increases are included for a balanced
program in basic energy sciences to support the future development
of both nuclear and non-nuclear energy technologies.
84
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
NATURAL RESOURCES, ENVIRONMENT, AND ENERGY
Natural resources, environment, and energy programs are concerned
with both present and future needs. They promote the management
of the Nation's natural resources, recognizing development, conservation, and environmental objectives that sometimes conflict. Outlays
for this function are estimated to be $13.8 billion in 1977 and $14.4
billion in 1978.
Program Highlights
• Establish Energy Independence Authority to provide
loans, loan guarantees, and other assistance to selected
high priority private sector energy projects.
• Begin initial development of a strategic petrole um storage
program to minimize the impact of disruptions in foreign
oil supplies.
• Increase outlays for existing and new energy research
and development initiatives by 30% in 1977.
• Accelerate the development of technology for the safe
long-term management of radioactive wastes from
commercial nuclear facilities.
• Increase energy production and encourage energy conservation by the gradual decontrol of oil prices and the
immediate decontrol of new domestic natural gas prices.
• Provide $3.8 billion in outlays for the construction of
sewage facilities in 1977, a 60% increase over 1976 and
a 95% increase over 1975.
• Recommend amendments to the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act to focus Federal financial assistance on
meeting the needs of existing population and to provide
additional incentives for meeting water quality standards
in the most efficient manner.
• Prepare for oil and gas leasing planned in frontier areas
of the Outer Continental Shelf and promote increased
energy development on Federal lands consistent with acceptable environmental standards.
• Provide $300 million for recreation land purchases and
development.
• Add 400 personnel to National Park Service staff in
1976 to meet bicentennial needs.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Outlays (or Energy
$ Billions
Energy.—Last year the Administration proposed a comprehensive
national energy policy designed to lessen the Nation's dependence on
foreign imports, increase the production of domestic energy supplies,
and encourage energy conservation. Recently the President signed the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, which is a first step toward a
comprehensive national energy policy. While the bill is by no means
perfect, it will permit a gradual phaseout of controls on domestic
petroleum. It provides emergency authorities for use in case of an oil
embargo. It also provides needed authorities to implement a strategic
petroleum storage system, convert utility and industrial plants from
oil and gas to coal, and enter into international agreements with other
petroleum-consuming nations.
Much remains to be done. In this regard, the Administration
requests expeditious enactment of legislation proposed previously,
including measures to:
• establish the Energy Independence Authority to provide loans,
loan guarantees, and other assistance to selected high priority
private sector energy projects;
• deregulate the wellhead price of new domestic natural gas in
order to encourage greater production and minimize shortages;
• authorize production from the naval petroleum reserves;
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
87
• create, under the Nuclear Fuel Assurance Act, a new private
industry to develop the additional uranium enrichment capacityneeded to provide fuel, in the future, for nuclear reactors rather
than require the taxpayer to finance these additions;
• increase the price charged for uranium enrichment services
provided by current Government-owned facilities in order to
secure a fair return on the Government's investment;
• streamline the procedures for licensing nuclear power plants to
reduce the amount of time required to process applications while
maintaining safety and environmental standards;
• provide tax aids to electric utilities with special benefits for
facilities not fueled by petroleum products;
• modify regulatory practices to assure that utilities can continue
to attract sufficient capital;
• establish thermal efficiency standards for new residential and
commercial buildings;
• provide assistance to help low-income and elderly consumers
insulate their homes to save energy; and
• amend the Clean Air Act to provide a needed balance between
environmental and energy goals.
Greater development of our domestic energy resources is essential
to assure that needed supplies are available in the long run. To encourage such development, the President has proposed the establishment
of an Energy Independence Authority (ElA). The EIA will provide
loans, loan guarantees, and other assistance to domestic energy projects of critical importance for developing domestic sources of energy.
The Authority will supplement and encourage private capital investment across a broad spectrum of energy supply, conservation, and
energy-related environmental projects. The EIA will also work to
shorten the time required for energy projects to obtain clearances and
permits from Federal regulatory agencies. Financial resources of EIA
will be $100 billion, and it is anticipated that up to $10 billion will be
used in 1977. Because EIA is to be self-liquidating, its outlays will not
be included in the budget except for operating gains or losses.
Pending enactment of the EIA, the Administration strongly supports the immediate authorization of a synthetic fuels commercialization program administered by the Energy Research and Development Administration. This program is critical to assisting industry
in the early demonstration of current technologies that can increase
our national capability for energy independence. The budget includes
$503 million in budget authority in 1976 to cover $2 billion in loan
guarantees as a first step in implementing this program. The budget
assumes that with the creation of the EIA, by 1977 the synthetic
fuels program would be transferred to the Authority and would grow
to a level of $6 billion in loan guarantees.
210-000
0 - 7 6 - 7
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Tax expenditures also encourage the development and production of
energy and mineral resources. Exploration and development expenses
(mostly for oil and gas) may be treated as current costs rather than
as capital investments, which are depreciated over a number of years.
This provision is expected to provide a $1 billion incentive to develop
energy resources in 1977. Another tax provision allows the use of
percentage depletion rather than actual cost depletion. Although
sharply curtailed for oil and gas in 1975 legislation, it is still expected
to offer a $1.6 billion tax incentive for mineral production in 1977,
with most of that amount for fossil fuel production. The Administration has proposed a package of tax aids for electric utilities that will
especially help generating facilities not using oil or gas as fuels. It is
estimated to provide $0.8 billion of tax relief in 1977.
Operating programs promote the development of domestic energy
resources and encourage energy conservation. Outlays for these programs will total $478 million in 1977. However, this estimate does
not include the full effect of the recently signed Energy Policy and
Conservation Act. The allowance for contingencies for fiscal years
1976 and 1977 covers amounts that may be necessary for programs
authorized by this Act.
The budget assumes that Congress will approve the proposed
Nuclear Fuel Assurance Act, under which ERDA will assist private
industry to finance, construct, and operate all future uranium enrichment facilities to meet projected fuel requirements for civilian nuclear
power plants.
A strategic petroleum reserve will be developed in order to minimize
the impact of disruptions in foreign oil supplies. Energy conservation
programs are intended to increase the energy efficiency of new automobiles and many new appliances and to set goals for saving energy
in the leading energy-consuming industries.
The budget continues the acceleration of energy research and development Outlays for this purpose, under this subfunction, are expected
to total about $2.7 billion in 1977, a 30% increase over 1976 and
an 85% increase over 1975.
Nuclear research and development outlays in 1977 will total about
$1.4 billion. Increases are provided for the construction of an experimental fusion test reactor and a demonstration power plant using
liquid metal fast breeder reactor technology. In addition, the budget
provides for greatly increased research on the safe management of
radioactive wastes and the safeguarding of nuclear materials from
theft, which are important to assuring that nuclear power remains a
safe, reliable, and environmentally acceptable form of energy.
Nonnuclear energy research and development will total about $900
million. Major increases are provided for demonstration of advanced
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
89
technologies to produce synthetic fuel from coal, the development of
advanced technologies for coal combustion, research on improving
gas turbines in order to burn fuel gas produced from coal, and oil
shale research. Outlays will increase significantly for solar and geothermal research and development and for development of advanced
technologies for energy conservation in buildings, industry, and
transportation.
In addition to research and development directly related to the
development of specific nuclear and nonnuclear technologies, the 1977
budget includes about $450 million for supporting research. Such
research in environmental effects and basic energy sciences is applicable to many different technological objectives. It will involve
studies on the effects and control of various pollutants and investigations of the fundamental properties of materials applicable to advanced
energy technologies.
Federal energy regulation includes controls over the use of nuclear
materials and the construction and operation of nuclear reactors and
related facilities, the regulation of interstate natural gas and electric power, and the allocation and pricing of petroleum. Outlays for
energy regulation programs will total $178 million in 1977, not including the full impact of the recently signed Energy Policy and
Conservation Act. Again, amounts that may be necessary to implement
the regulatory requirements of the Act—principally personnel—are
covered by the allowance for contingencies. The budget provides for
a large increase in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's programs for
nuclear materials safeguards, reactor inspection, and reactor safety
research. The Federal Power Commission advises that it will intensify
its efforts to deal effectively with shortages of natural gas by distributing available gas in a manner that avoids disruption to the Nation's
economy. Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, the Federal
Energy Administration will remove price and allocation controls on
those parts of the petroleum industry, primarily wholesalers and
retailers of petroleum products, that are "downstream" from
refineries.
Pollution control and abatement.—The Federal Government
has primary responsibility for environmental research and development as to national environmental standards. However, direct
operations, including enforcing standards, are primarily the responsibility of State and local governments. Therefore, the 1977 budget
will continue to emphasize assisting State and local governments in
their programs. Special attention will be given to assisting States to
develop programs for the enforcement of national drinking water
standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act enacted in 1974.
90
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Outlays (or Environment and Natural Resources
As part of the overall objective of establishing financially sound
policies for long-term financial assistance to State and local governments, amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act are
being proposed. The purpose of these amendments is to formulate
a multi-year program which will serve as a basis for determining
appropriation requests commencing in 1978. Enactment of the proposed amendments will provide emphasis on serving the sewage treatment needs of existing population, meeting water quality standards
in the most effective manner, and striking the appropriate balance
between Federal and State responsibilities. Approximately $10 billion
of the $18 billion allotted to the States for the construction of wastewater treatment plants currently remains unobligated and $6 billion
will be unobligated at the beginning of 1977. Consequently, no new
budget authority is requested for 1977.
The tax-exempt status of pollution control industrial revenue bonds
results in a tax expenditure estimated to provide about $250 million
in support of pollution control in 1977.
Water resources and power.—Outlays for water resources and
power programs in 1977 will be approximately $3.9 billion, an
increase of $81 million over 1976, and are estimated to grow to $4
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
91
billion in 1978. Growth in outlays will be restrained by stretching out
some work, and there will be no new construction starts for water
projects in 1977. Receipts in power programs, which are counted as
an offset to outlays, are estimated to increase.
Water development.—Federal water resource development programs encompass projects that generate and transmit electricity,
improve water supplies, help control floods and erosion, enhance
navigability, provide irrigation, and develop water-related recreation
opportunities. Outlays for these programs will be $2.9 billion in 1977,
compared with 2.8 billion in 1976.
Budgetary restraints have made it necessary to slow work on a
number of ongoing projects, but planned power delivery dates on
hydroelectric projects will be met. Restraints have also precluded
new construction starts in 1977. Projects underway in 1977 will cost
an additional $18.5 billion in future years to complete, including $725
million for new construction starts added by the Congress in 1976.
The study of major water resource policies mandated by the Water
Resources Development Act of 1974 is being completed by the Water
Resources Council. It addresses, among other things, the need for a
broader look at project benefits, the application of user charges, cost
sharing and reimbursement, and the selection of appropriate discount
rates for project evaluation and reimbursement. Its report will be
transmitted to Congress in calendar year 1976 together with recommendations for program reform.
Power programs.—Outlays for power programs will be $1,046
million compared with $1,055 million in 1976. The Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA) will be engaged in the planning and construction
of eight nuclear power plants in 1977. The Department of the Interior's
power programs support the marketing and transmission of electric
power from Federal hydroelectric dams.
Conservation and land management.—The public lands are
administered both to develop and to conserve natural resources, to
provide recreation opportunities, and to manage and protect wildlife
habitat, environmental quality, watersheds, and areas of scenic
beauty. In 1977, outlays for conservation and land-management
programs will total $1,027 million. Major reasons for the apparent
decrease from 1976 are: (1) estimates included in 1976 for fighting
forest fires are not included in 1977 but are covered separately by the
allowance for contingencies; (2) reform of the agriculture conservation
program is proposed; and (3) an increase in estimated offsetting
receipts in 1977 reduces net outlays.
92
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Outlays for agricultural conservation programs will decline by $90
million in 1977 largely because of the proposed termination of unnecessary Federal cost-sharing for private conservation and forestry
practices. Legislation will be proposed to limit cost-sharing to practices
providing long-term, enduring benefits.
The Forest Service administers the National Forest System, conducts a comprehensive forest and range research program, and carries
out cooperative forestry programs with States and private landowners. During the past year, a comprehensive planning process has
been underway as required by the Forest and Range Renewable
Resources Planning Act of 1974. Although this process is incomplete
due to severe time constraints, information it produced was used
in formulating the 1977 budget.
Although increases of $30 million are proposed for recreation,
wildlife, rangeland management, and other programs, Forest Service
outlays are expected to decline from $950 million in 1976 to $824
million in 1977. The increases are more than offset by decrease in timber sale preparation and associated direct Federal road construction—made possible by ending 1976 with an inventory of prepared
but unsold timber, a planned phaseout of grants to States for fire
control, and reduced construction of administration and recreation
facilities. The 1977 amount excludes outlays for fighting forest fires,
which are not funded in advance but are covered by the allowance
for contingencies. Outlays for road construction by timber purchasers
have been included in the budget totals for the first time in 1977.
Timber operations are also aided by a tax expenditure of over $200
million that arises from treating income from certain timber operations
as capital gains rather than as ordinary income for Federal tax
purposes.
The 1977 outlays of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (again
excluding outlays for fire fighting) will increase by $10 million.
Increases will be used primarily to support energy and mineral development. BLM and Geological Survey support for Outer Continental Shelf
oil and gas leasing will increase by $13 million to $111 million; support
for onshore leasing of energy minerals will increase by $10 million to
$74 million. For range management, outlays of $27 million will be
available. Emphasis will be placed on making range investments
where clear economic benefits can be demonstrated.
Recreational resources.—Federal programs for recreation include
the purchase, development, and operation of parks, wilderness areas,
historic sites, wildlife refuges, wild and scenic rivers, trails, recreation
areas and seashores, fish hatcheries, and recreation sites at water
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
93
development projects. Total outlays for these programs will increase
from $900 million in 1976 to $959 million in 1977.
Outlays of $390 million will enable the National Park Service to be
host to an estimated 253 million visitors to the 286 units of the
National Park System in 1977. Funds have been provided to improve
the maintenance of park facilities, and outlays of $75 million will be
available for construction of requisite sewage treatment facilities,
development at new park areas, and other construction.
The acquisition and development of recreation land will be supported by fully funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund with
$300 million. The fund provides both grants to States and local governments and funds for direct Federal use.
The Fish and Wildlife Service manages wildlife refuges, conducts
research on fish and wildlife, and protects endangered species. In
addition, it will initiate a national inventory of wetlands and continue
to furnish ecological data to resource development agencies to minimize adverse effects on fish and wildlife. Grants to States for wildlife and fisheries management will total $79 million of total Fish and
Wildlife Service outlays of $233 million.
Other natural resources.—The activities of the Geological Survey
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
fall within this subfunction. The programs of the Geological Survey
include topographic surveys and mapping, geological and mineral
resource surveys, and water resources investigations. These activities
contribute to the development of energy resources. Geological Survey
resources are being concentrated to support highest priority programs
for leasing of energy minerals both on the Outer Continental Shelf
and onshore. Some other Geological Survey programs are being
reduced below their 1976 levels to provide resources for energy leasing.
NOAA will continue its programs in marine conservation, environmental and weather monitoring and prediction, and preservation and
development of the Nation's coastal zone. The higher costs of providing public weather services are expected to be partially offset
through the continued application of automation and improved
productivity. Total outlays for the other natural resources subfunction
are estimated at $934 million in 1977.
94
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
AGRICULTURE
Agricultural programs provide income protection for farmers;
research and technical, economic and market information services to
farmers, processors, distributors, and consumers; and inspection
services to assure the quality of farm products. Outlays for these
programs are estimated at $1.7 billion for 1977, and are projected at
$2.6 billion in 1978.
Program Highlights
• Continue successful market-oriented commodity programs
with their reduced reliance on Federal controls.
• Strengthen grain inspection services.
• Increase crop and livestock production efficiency through
expanded production research efforts.
• Begin trial boll weevil eradication program.
• Propose tax relief for heirs of small farm owners.

Information on budget authority for 1975, 1976, and the transition quarter is shown in Table
14 of Part 8.
Farm income stabilization.—The Administration's policy is to
avoid Government restrictions on crop production, permit market
forces to work, but provide producers protection against severe price
declines. Problems continue to exist where this policy is not followed.
For example, rice, peanuts, and tobacco are controlled through
cumbersome mandatory programs that often result in a buildup of
surpluses and higher prices at considerable cost to the Federal Government and consumers.
Outlay estimates for stabilization programs are based on the following assumptions: (1) normal weather during the 1976 growing season;
(2) continued economic recovery; (3) continued strong overseas demand for U.S. farm products; (4) reduced acreage allotments for rice
and tobacco to bring supplies into better balance with demand; (5)

term export credit of $450 million. The 1977 outlay estimates resulting
from these actions and assumptions are $717 million for farm income
stabilization.
Further major reductions in farm income stabilization from the
amounts in this budget are contingent on substituting an expanded
crop insurance program for disaster payments—such a proposal has
been sent to the Congress—and on changing the price support program for peanuts. Absent such reforms, outlays for disaster payments
and peanut price supports (included in price support and related
programs) are projected at over $500 million in 1977.
Actual outlays for this subfunction are subject to wide swings
because weather and foreign demand are difficult to predict.

Federal tax expenditures for agriculture arise principally from two
provisions in the income tax law that enable farmers, including corporate farms, to treat certain capital outlays as current expenses and
certain types of farm income as capital gains. Reductions in farmers'
taxes attributable to these provisions will total an estimated $1
billion in 1977.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
97
The Administration will ask Congress for legislation permitting
heirs of owners of small farms to defer the first payment of estate
taxes for five years and amortize the balance over 20 years at 4 percent
simple interest.
Agricultural research and services.—Overall outlays for research,
extension, consumer protection, marketing, regulatory, and economic
information programs are being held near to 1976 levels, $1 billion.
However, within such totals, funds for research to increase production
efficiency will be $21 million higher and outlays for animal disease
eradication will be increased by $11.5 million. The only new program
for 1977 will be a feasibility trial of a program for eradication of the
boll weevil. Outlays in 1977 for this program are estimated at about
$4 million. This will be a cooperative trial with Virginia, North
Carolina, and South Carolina. Depending on results achieved, the trial
may lead to nationwide improvements in pest control as well as the
eradication of the boll weevil through further cost-sharing programs.
The Administration has also proposed legislation to strengthen the
national grain inspection system. The proposal provides for additional
Federal authority over inspection activities to deal with conflicts of
interest, provide protection against abuses and increase penalties
for violation.
I t is estimated that the Farmers Home Administration will provide
new loan commitments of about $1.4 billion in guaranteed and direct
agricultural loans to family farmers in 1977, down from $2.3 billion
in 1976, due largely to expiration of the emergency livestock credit
program. About one-third of the loans are subsidized; the balance are
at market rates.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
port of the mortgage market, the subsidy to the Postal Service, and
related regulatory activities. Outlays for commerce and transportation
programs are estimated to be $16.5 billion in 1977 and $19.4 billion
in 1978.
Ground transportation.—Total outlays for ground transportation
are estimated at $10.1 billion in 1977.
Highways.—Proposed 1977 and 1978 outlays, the highest in history,
will increase by about $300 to $400 million annually. Obligations of
$6.7 billion are proposed for the Federal-Aid Highways program in
1977, an increase of over $1 billion from the Administration's earlier
legislative proposal but about $1 billion below the unusually high
1975-76 levels. This level will be achieved by restraining authorizations to amounts necessary to control the growth of Federal spending in 1977 and beyond. This legislation, proposed last year, would
consolidate the large number of non-Interstate programs into three
broad programs and would thus increase local flexibility in the use of
funds. Priority will be placed on completion of key interconnecting
segments of the Interstate System. The Administration is withdrawing
proposals to permit State takeover of $1 billion of Federal motor fuel
taxes in 1977.
A related tax expenditure estimated at $0.6 billion in 1977 indirectly
subsidizes highway travel by permitting an itemized deduction for
State and local gasoline taxes.
Mass transit.—Proposed outlays for mass transit in 1977 total $1.8
billion, a 16% increase over 1976. The increase is attributable to (1)
past local actions to apply almost all transit formula grant funds to
operating subsidies and (2) the accelerated use of Interstate Highway funds transferred to transit projects—principally the Washington,
D.C., Metro. The budget proposes limiting to 50% the portion of
transit formula grants that may be used for operating subsidies in 1977
and future years. This will foster use of formula grant funds for capital
investment and replacement and will encourage local governments to
restrain operating costs and to seek greater productivity. The budget
proposes limits on Federal funds for Metro, which is due to begin
service in 1976, and targets funds to make partially built segments
operable earlier than now planned. Applications for other major
transit projects will continue to be reviewed to assure that alternatives
have been carefully analyzed and that equally effective, low-cost
approaches are being considered.
Railroads.—Proposed comprehensive rail legislation provides the
basis for Federal support of the Nation's rail freight system. Over the
next 5 years, the United States Railway Association will provide a
$2.1 billion Federal investment in ConRail, the successor corporation
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
101
Outlays for Transportation
that will take over the assets of seven bankrupt railroads in the Northeast and Midwest in March 1976. Federal financial assistance in the
form of loan guarantees will be provided in the rest of the country
primarily to improve track and other fixed facilities. In addition, the
Administration supports measures aimed at improving the rail freight
system nationwide through mergers and consolidations.
Proposed outlays for Amti ak, which operates the Nation's intercity
rail passenger service, will rise by $122 million to $462 million in 1977.
The growth of operating subsidies accounts for $49 million of this
increase. However, service reductions are proposed on the least efficient
routes, since operating losses would increase by $100 million if the
current route structure were retained. Amtrak's losses frequently
exceed the full ticket price of parallel, unsubsidized transportation
modes. The Administration recently proposed a $1.2 billion 6-year
program for upgrading Boston-New York-Washington rail passenger
service. This proposal will improve reliability, energy efficiency, and
ride comfort along this heavily used, relatively less subsidized route.
Air transportation.—Total outlays for air transportation are estimated at $2.8 billion in 1977 and $2.9 billion in 1978. The Administration proposes legislation to continue the airport and airway programs
102
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
at only slightly above the previous levels. The critical congestion
problems experienced during 1969-70 when these programs were
greatly increased have now subsided. The Administration's proposal
would also restructure user fees to make them more equitable and
would relieve the general taxpayer from part of the burden of paying
for all Federal aviation operation and maintenance expenses by requiring about 25% of these expenses, which total over $1.6 billion annually,
to be financed by the air trust fund.
The Federal Aviation Administration's budget includes funds for
additional air controllers and to begin a major program to automate
flight service stations. Flight service stations provide pilots with
weather forecasts, information on the status of navigational aids and
airports, and other services.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will spend $339
million in 1977 on its program of research and development to advance
aeronautical technology. The 1977 program will address specific
national concerns: improving performance, reliability, and safety;
reducing aircraft energy requirements; and diminishing noise and
exhaust pollution. Emphasis will be placed on development of technologies leading to aircraft that consume less fuel.
Water transportation.—Total outlays for water transportation
are expected to be $1.9 billion in 1977 and $1.9 billion in 1978. Federal
ocean shipping program expenditures will reach $712 million in 1977,
up from $637 million in 1976. Ship construction subsidies help improve
the international competitive position of U.S. shipbuilders while ship
operating subsidies support greater U.S. flag participation in U.S.
foreign trade.
Coast Guard outlays of $1,156 million are concentrated upon
replacement and renovation of capital equipment and facilities required to maintain current levels of service to the public. Major tasks
include search and rescue, marine pollution control and abatement,
provision of marine navigation facilities, and enforcement of U.S. laws
and treaties.
The Administration will propose legislation to require waterway
users to pay a share of the Federal cost of providing waterway facilities.
Receipts resulting from this legislation are estimated at $80 million
in 1977.
Reform of transportation
regulation.—Federal Government
regulation of transportation has not adequately responded to changes
in the industry and the general economy. Regulation has resulted in
rigidity and in overprotection of the industry's interests, rather than in
the protection of the public for which it was intended. The Administration's legislative proposals are designed to bring about far-reaching
reform of economic regulation of airlines, railroads, and trucking. In
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
103
addition, transportation regulatory agencies have advised that they
will pursue overall modernization of their procedures, increase consumer representation, improve analysis of costs and benefits, and
speed their decisions.
Mortgage credit and thrift insurance.—Credit is particularly
important to potential homebuyers since relatively few of them are
able to pay the price of a home out of their own pockets at the time of
purchase. Consequently, a smoothly functioning mortgage market is
essential to the production of housing in sufficient quantities to meet
the Nation's needs.
In recent years, mortgage markets have been severely disrupted
by the high interest rates that high rates of inflation have produced.
Clearly, the most important thing that Government can do for
housing production is to control inflation through sound fiscal and
monetary policies. This, in turn, requires spending restraint and
smaller Federal deficits. A smaller deficit will not only curb inflationary pressures,, but will also draw less of the Nation's limited
supply of credit away from mortgage markets.
While laying the basis for a return to stable prices, the Administration has acted to alleviate housing credit problems caused by
tight money. During calendar 1975, the Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA) made commitments to buy $5 billion in mortgages bearing inteiest rates below prevailing market levels. This is
aiding the purchase of 150,000 housing units. Mortgages purchased
under the program are being resold to yield prevailing market returns, with GNMA absorbing the loss. In addition, the Administration recently announced that $3 billion in mortgage purchase assistance will be made available to support new multifamily projects.
The losses absorbed by GNMA in connection with mortgage purchase
activities are estimated to be $371 million in 1976, $103 million in the
transition quarter, and $80 million in 1977. The budget assumes that
there will no longer be a need for these temporary programs in 1977
as conditions in the mortgage market return to normal.
A succession of short-run measures designed to combat temporary
dislocations in financial markets cannot assure the availability of
adequate housing credit in the future. In addition to sound fiscal and
monetary policies, a basic reform of the financial system is essential if the Nation's housing objectives are to be met. To this end, the
Administration has urged passage of another major regulatory
reform measure, the Financial Institutions Act. This legislation would
enable financial institutions to compete more effectively by removing restrictions on the interest rates the;y may pay depositors
and on the types of investments they may make. It would encourage
investment in residential mortgages through a new tax expenditure,
210-000
0 - 7 6 - 8
104
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
a tax credit on mortgage investment income. The current tax provision
that permits financial institutions to maintain excess bad debt
reserves would be phased out. The net additional tax expenditure from
these changes is estimated at $0.3 billion in 1977.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provides mortgage
insurance for those families who should be able to fulfill the obligations
accompanying a mortgage loan, but who are not adequately served by
the private mortgage market. Heavy default rates experienced under
some mortgage insurance programs—particularly those serving lower
income families—contributed to the FHA's net outlays of $1,088
million in 1975.
To reduce defaults and the dislocations that often accompany them,
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will
provide additional subsidies to federally insured low- and moderateincome rental projects that are experiencing severe financial problems.
Subsidies will also be provided to properties that HUD has already
acquired through defaults, making it easier to return these properties
to private ownership. This assistance will be provided from within the
current funding level for the section 8 lower-income housing assistance
program, and will not increase outlays under the program. However,
by lowering defaults on FHA-insured mortgages, this extra assistance
is expected to save $1.9 billion in 1976, the transition quarter, and
1977, combined. FHA's net outlays for these periods are estimated at
$1,161 million, $205 million, and $830 million, respectively.
Most of the Federal Government's support for housing does not
appear in the budget. Government-sponsored enterprises, such as the
Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan
Banks, are excluded from the budget because they are privately
owned. These enterprises supplied $4.8 billion for housing in 1975—
nearly 13% of the net increase in residential mortgage credit. Federal
loan guarantees support housing on a large scale ($8.8 billion in 1975),
but they do not generate budget outlays unless defaults occur. Loans
to finance housing projects serving elderly or handicapped persons
have been excluded from the budget by law, although they are financed
in the same way as other Federal loan programs. The 1977 budget
provides for $375 million in new loan commitments for such projects.
Tax expenditures also are an important form of Federal support.
The deductions for interest on home mortgages and for local real
estate taxes are estimated to cost the Treasury $4.7 billion and $3.8
billion, respectively, in 1977. The 1975 Tax Reduction Act included a
temporary credit for purchase of new homes. Although the cost of
this provision is substantial—approximately $0.6 billion in 1976—
its effect on sales does not appear to be great.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
105
The Farmers Home Administration provides direct and guaranteed
housing loans in rural areas. It emphasizes assistance to lower income
families through low-interest rehabilitation loans and assistance in the
purchase of existing housing. In 1977, almost one-half of rural home
ownership assistance funds will be used to aid the purchase of existing
housing units, rather than for higher-cost new construction. In addition to direct Federal mortgage loans, an experimental program of
loan guarantees is being undertaken to determine whether private
capital can be effectively attracted to the rural housing market.
Direct Federal mortgage loans will also be available through the
Farmers Home Administration. A total of $2.7 billion in direct and
guaranteed loans will aid in the construction, acquisition, and improvement of 126 thousand rural housing units in 1977. The budget
proposes termination of several relatively small and ineffective rural
housing programs.
Postal service.—The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 established
the U.S. Postal Service as an independent agency. The general operations of the Postal Service are excluded from the Federal budget
except for the Federal subsidy payment. This payment covers liabilities of the former Post Office Department for benefits for retired and
disabled employees, public service costs, and carrying certain classes
of mail at free or reduced rates. The recommended subsidy for 1977
follows the schedule that was established in the 1970 Act for transition
to full-cost rates for certain second, third, and fourth class mail.
It does not include additional subsidies to extend that schedule further.1 Outlays for the payment to the Postal Service are expected to
decline from $1,690 million in 1976 to $1,459 million in 1977, largely
because of the phased transition to full-cost rates and the decision not
to request funding for the extension of the phased transition. The
Postal Service continues to face serious difficulties in achieving a
balance between its costs and revenues. It will continue to explore ways
to control its costs through such steps as closing marginal post offices,
reducing overtime, and transferring employees from overstaffed
operations to fill vacancies elsewhere.
Other advancement and regulation of commerce.—The primary effects of Federal actions on private business are through monetary and fiscal policy, tax policy, credit programs, and regulation.
1
Section 3 of Public Law 93-328 provides that the budget shall also include separate statements
of the amounts which the Postal Service requests to be appropriated for public service costs and
carrying certain classes of mail at free and reduced rates. The Postal Service's request would extend
the subsidy schedule at an added cost of $19 million in 1976 and $307 million in 1977. These
amounts are shown in greater detail on pages 763 and 764 of the Budget Appendix. The President's
budget does not recommend funding for this extension.
106
THE BUDGET FOB FISCAL YEAB 1977
In some specific areas, however, Federal agencies do provide direct
services to the private sector. Budget recommendations for
these areas in 1977 reflect the President's desire to foster increased
reliance on the efficient functioning of private markets and to moderate
spending growth. Outlays for advancement and regulation of commerce
are expected to total $910 million in 1977, 2% more than in 1976.
In 1977, the Small Business Administration (SBA) will provide $315
million of direct loans, a 10% reduction from 1976, and loan guarantees
of $2.3 billion, an increase of 28% over 1976. This SBA aid is expected
to help 34,000 small businesses in 1977, compared to 28,060 in 1976.
The SBA will'provide more management assistance to firms participating in its programs and expand its efforts to better manage
problem loans already in its portfolio. The Department of Commerce
and SBA will continue their programs to assist minority enterprises.
The Federal Government also aids businesses through several large
tax expenditures. Existing provisions were expanded temporarily to
reduce rates of tax on the first $50,000 of corporate profits in calendar
1975 to less than one-half of the rate that applies to profits in general.
Although these lower rates aid all businesses, they especially help small
businesses because the first $50,000 of profits is of relatively greater
importance to them. The Administration proposes that these lower
rates be made permanent. The total tax expenditure resulting from
favorable tax rates on the first $50,000 of profits would then be about
$6.2 billion in 1977. Small businesses will also be aided by an Administration proposal to permit deferral of estate taxes in order to ease
the dislocations these taxes can cause to small businesses and farms.
Some tax expenditures assist businesses primarily by providing
incentives to investment. The credit for investments in business
equipment was temporarily increased in 1975 for calendar years 1975
and 1976, and the Administration proposes that this increase be
permanent. The resulting reduction in the 1977 tax: payments of
those firms and individuals who make these investments would be
$9.3 billion. Favorable tax treatment of most capital gains encourages
investment generally and the retention of earnings by corporations
in particular. The associated tax expenditures are estimated to total
over $7 billion in 1977.
The Administration is proposing other tax law changes to aid
businesses. These include a plan to broaden stock ownership, a reduction in the rate of tax on most corporate profits from 48% to 46%,
and measures to stimulate capital formation. Part 4 of the budget
provides more information about these proposals.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Federal Government promotes the preservation and revitalization of communities and regions through numerous programs.
These programs provide assistance to State and local governments
for the construction of public facilities, the provision of public services,
and economic development generally. Assistance for communities and individuals suffering the effects of floods and other natural
disasters is also included.
Program
Highlights
• Increase community development block grants by $446
million to $3.2 billion, in support of local community
planning and development activities.
• Improve Indian tribal government planning and management in support of the Indian Self-Determination Act.
• Increase the number of areas in which federally subsidized flood insurance is available from 9,500 to 17,000
by the end of 1977.
• Discontinue funding of Department of Commerce countercyclical activities and reduce funding for new development assistance programs for which effectiveness has not
been demonstrated.
• Begin implementation of the National Capital Pennsylvania Avenue development plan.
The Federal Government's impact on community and regional
development is not limited to activities discussed in this function.
Many programs administered by other Federal agencies help promote
the social and economic development of the Nation's States and
localities. These programs include, among others: highways, mass
transit, and airports; flood protection, reclamation, agricultural land
drainage, navigation, and hydropower projects; housing credit assistance; aid for local health, education, crime prevention, and recreation
activities; defense contracting; operation and management of forests,
parks, and the public domain; and assistance for water quality enhancement.
Outlays for community and regional development programs covered
in this function alone will be $5.5 billion in 1977 and approximately
$6.0 billion in 1978.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL TEAR 1977
Outlays (or Community and Resional Development
for carrying out locally determined planning and development programs. Outlays for community development will be $3.7 billion in 1977.
Under the community
development block grant program,
which
replaced seven categorical grant and loan programs in 1975, localities
are eligible to receive grants in support of locally designed planning
and development activities. Funds are allocated by a formula based
on objective measures of need, including population, degree of poverty,
and housing overcrowding. Activities funded under the antecedent
categorical programs are eligible for funding under the community
development grant program. These include acquisition of real property, construction of public facilities, rehabilitation of structures,
provision of social services, planning, and payment of the non-Federal
share required by other Federal grant programs.
New commitments under the block grant program will total $3.2
billion in 1977, an increase of $446 million over the 1976 level and
$900 million above the 1973 level. This represents an unprecedented
level of support for community development activities. Outlays reflect
the rate at which State and local governments carry out projects and
are expected to total $1.6 billion in 1977 and $2.4 billion in 1978.
T&E FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
HI
Categorical programs replaced by block grants will continue to have
outlays in connection with uncompleted projects, although these
outlays are decreasing as more projects are completed.
Planning and management assistance will be provided through the
c6mprehensive planning program in 1977. This assistance supports
State and local planning and management programs concerned with
urban and rural development. Planning and management activities can
also be funded under the community development block grant
program, reducing the amount of categorical support required for
planning. Outlays for the comprehensive planning program will total
$75 million in 1977.
The research program of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development supports the search for solutions to community development and housing problems. The 1977 research program provides for
analysis of such topics as neighborhood preservation and local government management. Outlays for these and other research projects
will total $67 million in 1977.
In 1977, there will be no new budget authority for the Department
of Agriculture's water and sewer grants due to the substantial funding
provided in 1976, an amount sufficient to finance the program for 2
years. Outlays, however, will increase by $22 million from 1976 to
$84 million in 1977 due to spending from prior year commitments.
The Federal Government will lend funds directly to the District of
Columbia for approved capital projects not otherwise financed by the
municipal borrowing authority provided by the Home Rule Act. In
1977, outlays will be $186 million for such projects.
A start will be made in the revitalization of downtown Washington,
D.C., through private and public activities envisioned in the 14-year
Pennsylvania Avenue development plan. Development will take
place under the direction of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development
Corporation and will extend north of Pennsylvania Avenue between
the Capitol and the White House. Outlays for land acquisition and
development activities in 1977 are estimated to be $25 million.
ACTION'S domestic volunteer programs include Volunteers in
Service to America (VISTA), University Year for ACTION (UYA),
older Americans volunteer programs, and a broad range of special
volunteer programs. Most of the volunteers work on projects designed
to meet the needs of the disadvantaged. Where possible, local financial
support is sought. In 1977, there will be approximately 23,500 fulltime and 203,000 part-time volunteers participating in ACTION
programs. These projects will emphasize local design and operation,
attempt to increase the number of volunteers participating in community activities, and give special priority to encouraging older
112
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL TEAR 1977
citizens to volunteer. Federal outlays for ACTION'S domestic programs are estimated to be $93 million in 1977.
The Head Start, Economic Opportunity and Community Partnership Act of 1974 established the Community Services Administration
(CSA) to succeed the Office of Economic Opportunity. CSA will
administer community action and community economic development
programs designed to meet the needs of the economically disadvantaged. The act provides for greater non-Federal financial support,
permitting funding for 1977 to be maintained at the 1975 level.
Additional non-Federal resources, based on State and local determinations of program effectiveness, may raise program levels. Federal
outlays for CSA will be $365 million in 1977, $143 million lower than
1976 due to the requirement for an increased non-Federal share and
the proposed elimination of duplicative categorical programs.
Area and regional development.—Programs in this category
provide support primarily for rural development, American Indian
Tribal governments and Appalachian development. Outlays for area
and regional development are estimated to be $1.3 billion in 1977.
Department of Agriculture.—Farmers Home Administration (FmHA)
programs provide loans for business and industrial development
in communities of less than 50,000 population, and loans and grants
for water, sewer, and other community facilities in communities
of less than 10,000 population. Many of these communities also
receive Federal assistance under the community development grant
program, as well as under other programs aimed at rural development.
New loan commitments will exceed $1 billion, although the outlay
effect of those loans is reduced substantially by their sale to the
Federal Financing Bank, which is estimated to be $703 million in
1977. Total outlays for FmHA rural development programs will be
$218 million in 1977.
New loan commitments from the Rural Telephone Bank, which by
law is excluded from the budget, willr total $180 million in 1977.
Outlays, also off-budget, will be $148 million in 1977.
Department of Commerce.—The Economic Development Administration (EDA) and the Regional Action Planning Commissions
provide assistance to economically depressed areas and assist States
and communities in meeting regional economic adjustment problems.
Obligations for new EDA programs will be limited in 1977 until
activities initiated in 1975 and heavily funded in 1975 and 1976 can
be evaluated. Traditional EDA programs, such as public works,
business development, technical assistance, and research will continue
in 1977 but at lower funding levels. No funding is requested in 1977
for the countercyclical job opportunities program. Outlays for the
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
113
development assistance programs will be $333 million. In addition,
$222 million in Department of Commerce outlays will result from prior
year commitments for the job opportunities program.
Indian programs.—The major objectives of Federal Indian policy
are to strengthen Indian autonomy, preserve community rights and
relationships, and increase self-determination for American Indian
Tribal governments. Toward these ends, the Indian Financing Act of
1974 provides for business development assistance, direct Federal
loans, guaranteed loans, and interest subsidies to Indians. The Indian
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 will further
these objectives by enabling Indian communities to administer Federal programs serving them, pursuant to contracts with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs (BIA). A newly authorized program of grants, training,
and technical assistance will be instituted to strengthen tribal management and planning abilities. Outlays for this new program will total
$21 million in 1977, and additional funds are set aside to pay the overhead costs for tribes electing to take over the operation of BIA
programs. In 1977, no new appropriations will be sought for BIA
construction grants to local public schools attended by Indian children,
and deferral through 1977 of existing appropriations will be proposed.
This is being done because this program in part duplicates existing
programs administered by the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare which assist public schools in reservation-impacted areas,
and in part to slow the growth in Federal outlays. Outlays for Indian
programs in this subfunction will be $737 million in 1977.
The Appalachian Regional Development Commission provides a
framework in which 13 Appalachian States, from Mississippi to New
York, and the Federal Government work together to promote the
economic development of the region. In 1977, major emphasis will
be placed on construction of the Appalachian development highway system, which involves corridor highways as well as access roads.
For nonhighway programs, the States will continue to have the flexibility to emphasize those particular activities that are most important
to their citizens. These include activities for health, education, and
community facilities. In 1977, outlays for Appalachian development
will be $332 million.
Disaster relief and insurance.—Although State and local governments and the private insurance industry are primarily responsible for
financing recovery from such natural disasters as floods, hurricanes,
and tornados, Federal insurance and relief are available to supplement
these resources when they are insufficient. Outlays for disaster relief
and insurance are estimated to be $562 million in 1977.
114
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
The National flood insurance program is designed to reduce the
economic hardship resulting from floods. It is available for communities
with flood hazard areas that are willing to take flood protection actions.
Under the program, flood insurance on structures in participating
localities is provided at rates that are subsidized by the Federal
Government. Communities adopt flood plain management plans in
order for their citizens to qualify for the insurance premium subsidies.
This program was expanded in 1973, and there are currently more than
9,500 participating communities. By the end of 1977, it is estimated
that there will be 17,000 communities participating. Most of the
estimated $208 million in outlays in 1977 under this program will be
for actual claims and the insurance premium subsidies.
The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 broadened the relief that the Federal
Government may provide to include grants to persons unable to meet
serious needs arising from disasters and block grants for restoration of
public facilities. Outlays depend upon the incidence and severity of
uninsured losses from natural disasters and are estimated to be $250
million in 1977. The Small Business Administration and the Department of Agriculture also provide loans for disaster relief, and outlays
for these programs are estimated to be $104 million in 1977.
Tax expenditures.—The Administration is proposing a temporary
tax incentive to encourage investment in construction of new facilities
and expansion of older facilities in areas of the highest unemployment. Both business equipment and nonresidential structures would be
eligible for the incentive, which is estimated to result in $0.3 billion
of reduced tax revenues in 1977.
The tax exempt status of interest on industrial revenue bonds will
allow communities to attract industry through favorable borrowing
terms. The estimated 1977 cost of this tax expenditure is $0.3 billion.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
EDUCATION, TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT, AND SOCIAL
SERVICES
This function includes those Federal programs that promote the
general extension of knowledge and skills and assist individuals in
becoming productive members of society. Most programs in this
function are designed to help States and localities provide services to
individuals. A small portion of these outlays are for direct cash benefits
or physical facilities. Outlays for these programs are expected to
be $18.9 billion in 1976, $16.6 billion in 1977, and $15.3 billion in 1978.
Program Highlights
• Consolidate, under a new Financial Assistance for
Elementary and Secondary Education Act, 27 separate
grants for education into a single flexible grant to States,
without matching requirements, primarily for use in
helping disadvantaged and handicapped children.
• Convert the social services program into a block grant
under a proposed Financial Assistance for Community
Services Act that would remove matching requirements
and allow States more flexibility in providing sei vices to
the needy.
• Provide $1.1 billion to give 1.3 million needy students
basic opportunity grants of up to $1,400 each so they can
go to the college of their choice.
• Provide 515,000 training and employment opportunities
in 1977 under the regular State and local programs of the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act.
• Continue the temporary employment assistance program
through calendar year 1976, and then, as the economy
continues to improve, phase it out by September 30,
1977.
• Provide $250 million in grants and technical assistance
to improve education in school districts that are in the
process of eliminating discrimination.
• Reform the education impact aid program to assure that
Federal funds are directed only toward those school
districts burdened by Federal activities.
EDUCATION
States and localities have the principal responsibility for public
education. The Federal Government, however, helps to assure that all
Americans have equal access to educational facilities and provides
funds for special educational services for the disadvantaged and the

handicapped. Outlays for Federal education programs are estimated
to be $8.1 billion in 1976, $7.6 billion in 1977, and $7.5 billion in 1978.
Reduced outlays result from actions proposed in 1976 to limit Federal
programs to their proper role and from selected reductions in nonpriority areas in 1977. Substantial sums are provided for education or
educationally related activities in programs classified under other
functions, including $4.2 billion for veterans educational benefits and
$2 billion for school lunches. Special Analysis I, Federal Education
Programs, discusses all these activities.

Financial Assistance for Community Services Act.
Elementary, secondary, and vocational education.—These
programs provide assistance to State and local educational agencies,
either through formula grants or specific, discretionary project
grants. The greatest share of this assistance helps to educate the
disadvantaged and the handicapped.
Aid to education agencies.—The 1977 budget includes a proposed
Financial Assistance for Elementary and Secondary Education Act
to consolidate most formula and some project grants so that decisions
on the use of Federal funds for education can be better integrated
with State and local priorities and funding. As shown by the chart on
page 119, the new program would consolidate 27 grant programs in
the following major areas: elementary and secondary education, education for the handicapped, vocational and adult education, and
library resources. Funds would not have to be matched by the States
and would be distributed equitably by formula. Each State would be
required to develop a plan showing how the Federal funds will be
used, and to report on the actual use of funds and accomplishments.
Most of the funds would have to be used to educate the disadvantaged
and the handicapped. So that States have time to plan the use of
these funds, they would be provided in the fiscal year prior to the
school year in which these funds will be used. Additional funds provided for this initiative would increase 1978 outlays by $100 million.

The Administration is again proposing to reform the impact aid
program. Recognizing that Federal activities provide an economic
benefit to host communities, the reform would limit Federal aid to
those school districts where free education is provided for children
whose parents both live and work on Federal property. Since Federal
property is exempt from local taxes, these families do not contribute
to the cost of education, as other families do, and Federal contributions
are fully justified. These proposals would save an estimated $285
million in 1977 and approximately $330 million in 1978.
Budget authority of $250 million is requested to provide assistance
to those school districts that are in the process of eliminating discrimination. This assistance is aimed at improving the achievement of
students, while providing for equality of educational opportunity.
Child development—Federal funds foster research, demonstration,
and service programs that aid the development of preschool children.
In 1977, the head start preschool program will continue to serve
about 349,000 children. Programs to curb child abuse will also be tested
in 1977.
Higher education.—The Administration's higher education programs will concentrate on providing assistance directly to students,
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
121
rather than to educational institutions. Total outlays will be $364
million lower in 1977 than in 1976, primarily because no further capital
contributions for direct loans are proposed as greater reliance is placed
on student grants and guaranteed loans.
The 1977 budget includes $1.1 billion in budget authority for basic
educational opportunity grants of up to $1,400 each for 1.3 million
undergraduate students in the 1977-78 school year. This compares to
$1.0 billion requested in 1976 to support 1.1 million students. In
addition, budget authority of $44 million in 1977 is requested for the
State student incentive grant program that would provide assistance to
176,000 needy students. Budget authority of $250 million for workstudy would help 652,000 students obtain part-time employment.
Legislation is proposed to increase the share of the employment cost
borne by the participating institutions from 20% to 50%, over a
3-year period. This would permit Federal funds to serve 14% more
students;* ;
Budget authority of $400 million in 1977 for the guaranteed student
loan program would help to provide an estimated $1.3 billion in loans
to aid about 1 million students in the 1976-77 school year. To assure
an adequate supply of private capital for student loans, legislation is
proposed to increase the maximum interest rate chargeable by banks
from 10% to 11%. Because of the availability of the guaranteed
student loans and $225 million available in 1977 from prior funds,
no further capital contribution is requested for the national direct
student loan program.
Tax expenditures totaling over $1.5 billion in 1977 also support
higher education. The two largest of these are the deductibility of
contributions to educational institutions and the personal exemption
allowed parents with full-time student dependents over 18 years of age.
Special institutions.—Federal support is requested for construction
of the Kendall School for Deaf Children to be located in the District
of Columbia. Basic support for the National Technical Institute for
the Deaf, Gallaudet College, and Howard University will be continued.
Research and general education aids.—Funds in this category
provide support for educational research and development, cultural
activities, special projects that focus on national needs in education,
and program administration. Outlays of the National Institute of
Education are estimated at $88 million in 1977, up $18 million from
1976. These funds would support studies on basic skill development;
education and work; finance, productivity and management; and
educational equity. They also support the dissemination of research
results and other information. The National Foundation on the Arts
122
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
and the Humanities will spend approximately $191 million in support
of cultural activities in 1977. Outlays of $114 million would support the
activities of the Smithsonian Institution. Under the newly enacted
Public Broadcasting Financing Act of 1975, two dollars of Federal
funds will match every five dollars of private contributions to the
public broadcasting system up to specified limits. In 1977, outlays
are estimated at $70 million and in 1978, $80 million.
TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT, AND LABOR SERVICES
The Federal Government finances programs that help individuals
to obtain jobs via training and employment services or through the
provision of temporary public service jobs. It also sets and enforces
minimum wage and other standards regulating employment and labormanagement relations practices. Unemployment compensation programs are included and discussed in the income security function.
Training and employment.—Federal
funds are provided to
States and localities for programs to train the unemployed and the
disadvantaged, to help those seeking jobs find work, and to finance
public service jobs. Outlays for these programs in 1977 are expected
to be $5.0 billion, $1.9 billion less than in 1976, because of the phaseOutlays for Training, Employment, and Social Services

down of public service jobs as regular employment continues to
increase.
Temporary employment assistance.—In response to the President's
request, the Congress, in December 1974, authorized a temporary
public service jobs program as one part of a series of efforts to bring
additional aid to the unemployed. Appropriations through June 30,
1975, made $2.5 billion available for about 260,000 jobs. Another
50,000 jobs are funded from other training and employment programs.
The budget provides for additional budget authority of $1.7 billion
for temporary employment assistance in 1976. This authority will
permit the continued operation of the program until January 1977,
with a gradual phaseout through September 1977, as the economy
continues to improve. In order to focus this additional aid where the
need is greatest, funds will be distributed in areas with rates of unemployment over 6.5%, and the Federal contribution to annual wages
will be limited to $7,000.
Training and employment program activities.—In 1977, $2 billion will
be spent by States and localities on regular programs under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA). These
funds will provide about 515,000 years of training and work experience
through institutional training, remedial education, on-the-job training,
job development, job matching, vocational counseling, and supporting
services. In 1976, outlays for these programs are expected to be $495
million higher due to the effect of startup delays on 1975 spending.
As State and local agencies sponsoring CETA programs gain experience
in planning and managing these programs, they are able to focus
more attention on tailoring activity to the needs of the local labor
market and on improving the quality of program operations.
About $400 million of the total outlays expected in 1977 will be
for national training and employment programs. These include programs for migrant workers and Indians, as well as research and
evaluation projects, and the Job Corps.
A special summer youth employment program will be funded in
both 1976 and 1977. Preliminary outlay estimates for the summer of
1976 are $440 million to support 740,000 jobs, and for 1977, $400
million to support 670,000 jobs.
Work incentive program (WIN).—This program provides help in
obtaining jobs to those receiving aid to families with dependent children (AFDC). In 1975, jobs were found by 171,000 WIN program
participants. Every employable AFDC recipient must register for the
124
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
WIN program. Child care and other supportive services help enable
recipients to seek or accept jobs. Welfare recipients are counseled on
effective methods for obtaining jobs. Proposed legislation would insure that each employable AFDC recipient is engaged in an active job
search. Under the proposed legislation, the WIN program would no
longer fund work and training services. Registrants would still be
eligible to receive such services under CETA. Supportive services for
WIN recipients funded separately through this program would be
limited to those required for the job search and the first 30 days of
employment. As a result of these legislative changes, outlays for the
program are expected to be reduced by $55 million in 1977, and by a
similar amount in 1978.
Job opportunities program.—This program was enacted in December
1974 as one of the temporary programs to help the unemployed
get jobs. Federal agencies submitted proposals to the Department of
Commerce for accelerated or expanded projects to provide added
employment. The Department transferred funds to agencies that had
proposals that appeared to have the best prospects of meeting the goal
of rapidly creating additional employment. About 100,000 employment
opportunities were initially estimated to result from the $500 million appropriated in 1975 and 1976.The projects selected are scheduled
to be completed by the end of 1977 in order to provide jobs while they
are most needed. However, past experience with similar projects would
indicate that a large number of the projects may continue into 1978 or
later.
Federal-State employment services.—The total cost for State offices
providing job-matching services to workers and employers is paid
by the national government. In 1975, the Employment Service placed
people in 4.2 million jobs and in 1977 expects to achieve 4.4 million
placements. Outlays in 1977 are estimated at $569 million, $20 million
more than in 1976. A major study will analyze what the future direction of the Employment Service should be. This study is expected
to be completed by 1979.
Other labor services.—The Federal Government establishes and
enforces basic standards affecting the relationship between employee
and employer, such as minimum wages, overtime payments, equal
pay for equal work, and welfare and pension plan operation. It also
administers laws designed to assure fair practices in labor management
relations, and gathers and disseminates statistics on employment,
unemployment, and prices. Outlays for these services are estimated at
$362 million in 1977, $36 million more than in 1976.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
125
SOCIAL SERVICES
Social services.—Grants to States for social services, authorized
under Title XX of the Social Security Act, provide support for services
to poor individuals to enhance their self-sufficiency. Federal assistance
is provided to States and localities, which have the primary responsibility for administering this program within the framework of Federal
regulations. In order to allow greater flexibility and to strengthen the
initiative of the States, a Financial Assistance for Community Services Act is proposed to convert both the social services and training
grants under public assistance into a single $2.5 billion block grant.
Funds would be distributed among States under the current formula.
The present 25% State matching requirement and all unnecessary
restrictions on State governments would be eliminated. States could
thus operate their social service programs in the ways they find best
serve the needy. Services provided would continue to include family
planning, preparation and delivery of meals, transportation, counseling, child care, and services to meet the special needs of the aged,
handicapped, mentally retarded, alcoholics, and drug addicts.
Rehabilitation services.—Outlays for vocational rehabilitation services to the physically and mentally handicapped are estimated to
increase $45 million over 1976 to $775 million in 1977. The President
has called a White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals
to be convened in December 1976 in order to stimulate a national
assessment of problems of the handicapped and to develop recommendations for improvement.
Services for the elderly and other special groups.—Outlays for these
programs in 1977 are estimated at $401 million. Special programs for
the aging are estimated to provide more than 290,000 meals daily,
an increase of 90,000 over 1976. These programs also provide services
necessary to help older people secure and maintain independence in a
home environment and prevent or delay institutionaliaation. Funds
are also included to continue demonstrating new approaches to the
provision of services that meet the needs of special groups such as
runaway youths, Indians, and Alaskan and Hawaiian natives.
The Allied Services Act has been proposed to encourage coordination of all human service delivery programs at the State and local
level. Under this act, States could receive grants for projects to demonstrate how the delivery of health, rehabilitation, and other human
service programs could be brought together to improve service to
State or local residents. They would also be able to transfer limited
amounts of Federal funds among specified programs to facilitate
integrated service demonstration.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
HEALTH
The health function includes programs that finance and provide
health services (primarily for the aged and poor), support health
research, pay for the training of health care personnel, and support
the prevention and control of health problems. Outlays for Federal
health programs are estimated at $34. 4 billion in 1977, an increase
of $2. 3 billion or 7% over 1976. Outlays in 1978 are expected to
reach $37. 7 billion, primarily reflecting increases in the medicare
program and an additional $500 million for the proposed new Financial
Assistance for Health Care Act.
Program Highlights
• Initiate a $10 billion program consolidating 16 health
grant programs, including medicaid, through the Financial Assistance for Health Care Act, so that States will
have greater flexibility in meeting the health care needs
of the low-income population.
• Provide catastrophic protection for the elderly and disabled through medicare by limiting an individual's
payments to $500 per year for hospital and nursing home
care and $250 annually for doctors' fees.
• Slow health cost inflation by limiting medicare reimbursements for health care services and requiring States to
undertake health planning and cost control activities
under the Financial Assistance for Health Care Act.
• Reform medicare cost sharing to provide needed program
funding and to help assure that hospitalization and
medical services are medically necessary.
The 1977 budget for health is based on a policy of providing and
improving access to health services for aged and disabled individuals
through medicare and for the low-income population under the proposed Financial Assistance for Health Care Act.
General health financing assistance.—The new Financial
Assistance for Health Care program will have budget authority of $10
billion in 1977. Estimated outlays in 1977 are $9 billion. No State or
local matching will be required. The 16 health programs to be consolidated are shown in the chart on page 128. Funds will be allocated
to the States under a formula that will assure a more equitable distri-

bution of Federal health services spending. The new legislation will
provide for a gradual shift from the current distribution to a more
equitable allocation. No State will receive less in 1977 than it did in
1976. Funds must be used primarily to meet the health needs of
low-income persons, but may also be used for other health purposes.
Existing programs provide an inequitable and inefficient basis for
assisting States and localities in dealing with the health problems and
needs of the low-income population. Under current programs, estimated Federal health funding per capita for the population below the
poverty line—the group least able to cope with the rising costs of
health care—varies by State from over $800 to under $200, depending
on the matching resources the particular State provides. Furthermore,
current narrow categorical programs inequitably single out for special
Federal assistance certain segments of the population or certain
communities from many others with equal or greater need for assistance. In addition, the costs of health services in some federally supported health centers appear to be substantially above those of the
private sector.
Under the Financial Assistance for Health Care Act, States will have
broad flexibility to meet health needs. They will be able to develop a
comprehensive strategy for meeting health needs on the basis of
130
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
planned priorities. In order to hold down rising health costs, the Act
will require States to undertake health planning and cost control
activities. The $10 billion ceiling on Federal payments in 1977 will
further encourage States to take necessary actions to control health
care costs. The funding levels requested for the new program for
1977 will be $783 million more than requested for 1976, but $227
million less than would otherwise be requested for 1977 without
restraints.
Health care services.—The largest Federal involvement in the
health sector is through the financing and provision of health care
services. Total outlays are estimated at $21.3 billion in 1977, and
$23.4 billion in 1978.
Medicare.—Within proposed outlays of $19.6 billion in 1977, medicare benefits will be improved to provide protection for the first time
against catastrophic medical costs for 25 million aged and disabled
Americans. The costs of a prolonged and expensive illness can devastate those on fixed incomes. In order to protect the elderly and the
disabled from catastrophic health expenses, the medicare improvements of 1976 will limit cost-sharing for covered services to $500 per
year for hospital and nursing home care and to $250 annually for
physicians' services.
The inflation of health costs has been particularly rapid since the
end of the economic stabilization program controls in April 1974. During the past year alone, hospitals have increased their charges by 13%,
and physicians have raised their charges by 11%. Federal programs,
through reimbursement policies and additional spending, have contributed to this inflation. The medicare improvements of 1976 will
limit increases in medicare payment rates to assure that the Federal
Government helps slow down health cost inflation. The legislation
would limit increases in payments to 7% per day for hospitals and to
4% for physicians' services. Cost sharing reforms are also proposed to
provide financial incentives against overutilization. Under these
reforms, beneficiaries would continue to pay a deductible representing
a day's hospital costs, but would also pay 10% of the remainder of
hospital charges up to the proposed maximum. For physicians' services, beneficiaries would continue to pay an annual deductible (proposed to rise as social security benefits increase) and the current 20%
of additional charges, up to the proposed maximum.
In addition to supporting greater economy in health care costs and
utilization, these measures will hold medicare expenditures in 1977 to
$2.2 billion less than the anticipated level without restraining measures. Even with these restraints, medicare spending will increase
$2.5 billion to over $22 billion in 1978.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
131
Other financing.—Outlays for the health maintenance organization
(HMO) program in 1977 will total $20 million. This demonstration
program supports HMOs, which are based upon the concept of delivering health care on a prepaid basis with emphasis on preventive
services. New HMO funding commitments under this 5-year Federal
demonstration effort will be completed by 1977.
Federally funded facilities for treating civilian drug abusers will
expand their capacity from 95,000 persons in treatment at any one
time in 1976 to 102,000 in 1977. Priority will be given to treating those
forms of drug abuse that are most costly to society. Research will focus
upon evaluating the effectiveness of different methods of treatment.
In 1977, direct obligations of $52 million are recommended for the
Professional Standards Review Organization (PSRO) program which
attempts to improve the quality and appropriateness of medical care
through review by physician-sponsored organizations. Under recent
legislation, most PSRO review costs will be indirectly funded through
the medicare program. A high priority will be given to evaluation of
PSROs so that the further development of the PSRO system can be
guided by experience.
Tax expenditures.—Federal tax laws help individuals to obtain
health insurance by excluding from employees' taxable income the
health insurance premiums paid by their employers. They also reduce
health care costs to individuals by permitting itemized deductions for
certain expenses for health care and health insurance premiums. In
1977, the revenue loss from these tax expenditures is estimated at $4.2
billion for employer contributions and $2.1 billion for itemized medical
deductions.
Providing health services directly.—In addition to financing medical
services, the Federal Government provides some medical care directly.
An estimated $349 million will be spent in 1977 on the provision of
medical services to over one-half million American Indians and Alaska
Natives; this does not include funds in other Federal health programs
that are spent for the care of Indians and Alaska Natives. Funding
for Indian health services has increased 226% in the last 8 years,
from $107 million in 1969 to $349 million in 1977. While many serious
health-related problems generally associated with reservation conditions remain, significant advances in overall health status have
occurred in this 8-year period. For instance, there has been a 30%
decline in infant death rates and a 32% decline in tuberculosis cases.
Legislation will be submitted to transfer to community use or close
the eight Public Health Service hospitals. Care to Federal beneficiaries will be provided more efficiently on a contract basis. In addi-
132
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
tion, responsibility for the health care of Coast Guard personnel will
be transferred to the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Justice will begin a gradual assumption of responsibility for
providing health care to Federal prisoners.
Legislation is being proposed to transfer St. Elizabeths Hospital
from the Federal Government to the District of Columbia in a few
years. The legislation will authorize funds in 1977 for renovation and
new construction at the hospital in order to obtain accreditation before
the transfer occurs. The Federal Government will continue for several
years to subsidize the operating costs of the hospital and will reimburse the District fully for the treatment of Federal beneficiaries.
Over 85% of the inpatient population at the hospital is composed of
District residents, and virtually all of its outpatient activity is devoted
to District residents.
Outlays for the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) will total
$17 million. The NHSC program demonstrates ways in which physicians and other health professionals can be attracted and retained
in critical health manpower shortage areas. The number of NHSC
health professionals will increase from 551 in 1976 to 676 in 1977.
Health research and education.—Programs for health research
and education include support for research, as well as training and
education of health care personnel.
Health research.—Outlays for research will be $2.2 billion in 1977.
Current levels of effort will be maintained in major research areas
such as cancer and heart disease. Support for emerging research
fields—such as immunology, aging, and the effects of the environment
upon health—will grow.
Health education and training.—In 1977, total outlays for training
health professionals will be $594 million. This decline from 1975 and
1976 levels reflects the reduced need for Federal subsidies for such
training. Major increases in the number of graduates of U.S. health
professions schools to meet future needs are already assured. For example, between 1969 and 1976, medical school enrollments have grown
from 35,833 to an estimated 56,200, and the annual numbei of graduates has increased from 8,059 to an estimated 13,500—increases of
57% and 68% respectively.
Proposed legislation for health professions training will provide
grants to schools of $1,500 per medical, dental, and osteopathy
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
133
student in return for the schools' commitment to meet conditions
designed to improve geographic and specialty distribution of health
personnel. Future direct Federal assistance to new students will be
limited to scholarships that require a public service commitment.
Health professions schools may retain repayments of previous Federal
contributions to student loan funds in order to form a pool of funds
for loans to students not wishing to make service commitments. The
legislation also provides support for special training projects in areas
of concern such as family medicine. Existing law requires an evaluation
of the need for additional Federal subsidies for training researchers.
Pending this analysis, new funds for training researchers will be
limited to individual postdoctoral fellowship awards.
Prevention and control of health problems.—Outlays for prevention and control of health problems will be $936 million in 1977.
Outlays of $497 million are being requested for consumer safety.
Priority will be placed on the safety of drugs, medical devices, foods,
and consumer products.
Outlays of $180 million are proposed for preventive health services,
the control of communicable diseases, and the improvement of clinical
laboratories. Grant programs for control of disease, such as venereal
disease and rat control, will be consolidated under the new Financial
Assistance for Health Care Act.
Federal support for occupational safety and health programs will
increase $13 million to a total of $259 million in 1977. The Department
of Labor will increase emphasis on health hazards without diminishing
attention to safety. It will provide a better balance of regulation and
enforcement with consultation, education, and voluntary compliance.
Emphasis on helping employers provide a safe workplace and on
improving the quality of inspections will also be increased.
Health planning and construction,—Grants for health planning and medical facilities construction are among those to be included
in the new Financial Assistance for Health Care Act. This will encourage States to evaluate these activities against competing priorities
for health spending and to link them to the objective of providing
health services for the low-income population.
Special Analysis K, "Federal Health Programs," in the Special
Analyses volume of the budget discusses all Federal activities related
to health, including those outside this function such as health programs
for military personnel and veterans.

additional workers, raise maximum benefit levels, and
strengthen financing of the trust fund.
• Create a National Commission on Unemployment Insurance to study the need for reform.
• Increase the number of housing units approved for subsidies by up to 506,000.
• Eliminate excessive increases in Federal employee retirement pay by deleting the extra 1 percent now required
to be added to each automatic CPI adjustment.
Federal income security payments sustain or augment family income
and purchasing power in order to help support adequate living
standards. There are four general types of income security programs,
although these are not necessarily distinct or mutually exclusive:
—Social security and other retirement programs support retired or
disabled citizens.
—Payments are made to maintain basic family income during
periods of temporary unemployment.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
—Assistance is given to those in financial need who are not covered
by other programs or their own resources.
—Finally, certain services that are close substitutes for cash payments to individuals are provided through Federal income security
programs, notably for food and shelter.
Other services that are similar to cash payments and closely related
to income security, particularly for the aged, the young, the poor, the
disadvantaged, the disabled, and the unemployed, are described in
other functions: health; education, training, employment and social
services; and veterans benefits and services.
Income Security Outlays
More than $137 billion or 35% of the 1977 budget is for income
security assistance of the kinds served by this function. Retirement
and disability outlays make up 71% of income security outlays.
Most such payments are linked by law to increases in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) to maintain purchasing power. Income securityrelated tax expenditures will result in benefits of at least $20 billion
in foregone tax receipts in 1977.
Income security payments are projected to rise from $128.5 billion
in 1976 to $137.1 billion in 1977. This increase of 6.7% year-to-year
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
137
is less than half the average over the past decade. Income security
outlays for 1978 will rise to $147.2 billion. This represents 34.2% of
the budget in 1978 compared to 34.8% of the 1977 budget.
General retirement
and disability insurance.—The social
security cash benefit program—the world's largest system of retirement, survivors, and disability insurance—will pay benefits in 1977 to
an estimated 32.6 million beneficiaries including dependents and survivors. Outlays will total $82.7 billion, over $10 billion more than in
1976. Of the total increase, $6.5 billion will result from automatic CPI
increases in benefit payments. The remaining increase, $3.5 billion
results from both a net increase in the number of retired people and an
increase in the benefit base (usually, average earnings) of the most
recent retirees. Average benefits for retired workers will be $249 per
month, an increase of 9.7% over the $227 monthly level of 1976.
The total social security payroll tax rate, including the health
insurance tax, is now 11.7% (one-half paid by the employer and onehalf paid by the employee). Under an automatic adjustment mechanism, in current law, the amount of an employee's annual earnings
subject to payroll tax rose from $14,100 to $15,300, effective January 1,
1976, and is expected to reach $16,500 on January 1, 1977.
Under current law, payments from the social security funds have
been, and will continue to be greater than the contributions collected
from employers and employees. As a result the cash surpluses accumulated in the trust fund in earlier years are shrinking.
The Administration is proposing a series of legislative changes to
restore the integrity of the social security fund—changes that maintain the contributory nature of the social security system. A major
element in these proposals is an increase of 0.6 percentage point in
the social security payroll tax, effective January 1, 1977, raising the
total payroll tax to 12.3% from the present 11.7%. Legislation is
also proposed to eliminate the provision that allows some new retirees
to receive an initial lump-sum payment in exchange for permanently
reduced future monthly benefits. It will also convert the retirement test
to an annual instead of a monthly test and phase out students benefits, over a 4-year period. The Administration is also proposing legislation to delete the inadvertent feature of the 1972 social security amendments which not only assures new retirees of future benefit increases as
the CPI rises, but also—under present projections—raises the initial
benefit levels more rapidly than wages increase. Under this proposal,
future initial benefit levels will continue to reflect the general rise in
covered wages in the economy, and maintain the same proportion of a
retiree's prior earnings as at present. Benefits after retirement will
continue to be adjusted as the CPI increases. Benefits of those currently retired will not be affected.
138
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
About 500,000 railroad workers receive retirement and disability
benefits from a separate contributory retirement system. Railroad
retirement outlays are projected to be $3.7 billion in 1977, an increase
of $0.2 billion over 1976. Average benefits will increase from $350
per month in 1976 to $375 per month in 1977. Social security taxes
paid by railroad employees and employers will also increase under
the Administration's proposal.
Under various provisions of the Federal tax law there are tax
expenditures relating to income of the aged. Major provisions include exclusion of all social security and railroad retirement benefits
from tax liability (not just the portion representing a return of the
taxpayer's original contribution) without regard to an individual's
income from other sources; the extra exemptions available to persons
65 or over; and the retirement income credit. The combined benefits
to the retired and elderly from these tax expenditures is estimated at
$5.8 billion in 1977.
Other tax provisions assist the economic security of aged persons
by promoting private pension programs. The largest benefits result
from excluding employer contributions to and current earnings of
qualified pension funds from taxation. Taking into account deferred
taxes collected from present retirees, the net loss in receipts is estimated
to be $6.5 billion in 1977. The Employees Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 increased the similar benefit for the self-employed and
allowed tax benefits for the first time for employees not covered by
employer pension plans. These provisions will result in an estimated
tax expenditure of $1.0 billion in 1977.
Disabled persons benefit from the exemption from taxation of
disability insurance benefits under social security, of worker's compensation benefits, and of sick pay. In 1977, these estimated
receipt losses provide benefits of $0.4 billion, $0.6 billion and $0.4
billion, respectively.
Federal employee retirement
and disability.—Government
retirement programs provide benefits for 1.5 million retired and
disabled Federal civilian employees. Outlays for civil service retirees
will reach $7.0 billion in 1976, $10.0 billion by 1977, and $15.9
billion by 1980. The increases result primarily from the large growth
in the retirement rolls, rising average salaries on which annuities are
based, and CPI adjustments. Legislation is proposed to correct the
CPI adjustment formula for both civilian and military retired pay.
This will eliminate provisions that increase annuities by 1 percentage
point more than the CPI increase. The 1 percentage point provision
was originally enacted to compensate annuitants for the lag between
increases in the cost of living and increases in annuities. However, in
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
139
practice this feature will, over the long run, overcompensate
annuitants.
The Civil Service Commission has undertaken a comprehensive
evaluation of the financing mechanisms for civil service retirement and
disability. This study is expected to be completed in the spring of 1976
and further reforms may be proposed as a result.
Unemployment
insurance.—The unemployment benefit programs continue to play an important role as the economy recovers.
As the unemployment rate declines it is estimated that approximately
11.5 million workers will receive unemployment assistance in 1976,
and 9.6 million in 1977. Average benefits are estimated to increase
from $69 per week in 1976 to $75 per week in 1977. Under Administration legislation proposed last year, unemployment insurance coverage will be expanded to include about two-thirds of all farmworkers,
about 400,000 domestic-service workers, and all workers in public
elementary and secondary schools and public hospitals. In total, about
6 million additional workers will be brought into the unemployment
insurance system. In addition, proposed legislation will require that
individuals be paid weekly benefits equal to at least one-half their
weekly wage with upper limits on benefits no lower than two-thirds
of the State's average covered wage. Benefits will thus rise with
average wages. To maintain the insurance nature of the program,
the proposal increases the amount of wages on which employers pay
the Federal unemployment tax from $4,200 to $6,000. It also temporarily increases the tax rate to speed repayment of general fund
loans used to finance benefits paid beyond the normal 26 weeks during
the recession. This temporary tax increase will expire when these loans
have been repaid. The proposed National Commission on Unemployment Insurance will study the unemployment insurance system, its
relation to other income security programs, and will develop alternative recommendations.
In addition to the permanent unemployment insurance program,
which provides compensation for up to a total of 39 weeks if unemployment is high, the Administration supported enactment, in December 1974, of two temporary unemployment assistance programs.
Under the Federal supplemental benefits program, covered workers
who have received their full benefits (up to 39 weeks) may be eligible
for up to 26 additional weeks of benefits, when the national and State
insured unemployment rates are high. This temporary program will
pay benefits through March 31, 1977. Outlays are estimated to drop
from $1.9 billion in 1976 to $1.1 billion in 1977.
The temporary special unemployment assistance program pays
up to 39 weeks of benefits to those who are ineligible for regular unem-
140
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
ployment benefits because of work history or the absence of coverage.
Benefits will be paid through March 31, 1977, for workers who apply
for compensation before January 1, 1977. Outlays are estimated to
drop from $800 million in 1976 to $300 million in 1977.
Under Federal tax law unemployment benefits are excluded from
taxable income. This tax expenditure is estimated at $2.9 billion in
1977.
Public assistance and other income security supplements.—
The supplemental security income (SSI) program, which replaced federally aided State assistance programs for the aged, blind and disabled
will pay an estimated $5.9 billion in Federal benefits to 5.1 million
recipients in 1977. An average benefit of $73 per month is estimated
for 1976 and 1977. The number of beneficiaries is estimated to increase
from 4.6 million in 1976 to 5.1 million in 1977. Because of late amendments complicating the program and the rapid conversion of 3 million
State and local cases to the Federal rolls, a substantial number of
payment errors have occurred in the program. In addition, some
States have more than a dozen different variations in their supplementation payments; this complexity is one source of erroneous
payment under the program. The Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare is taking extensive steps to reduce the number of errors in
payments in this program.
The State and local programs of aid to families with dependent children (AFDC) are assisted through grants to States for maintenance
payments. Federal outlays for the AFDC program are expected to
increase from $5.9 billion with 11.5 million recipients in 1976, to $6.0
billion with 11.3 million recipients in 1977. The Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare is working closely with the States through its
quality control effort to reduce errors and abuses in the administration
of benefits. Recent data indicate that 7.5 % of recipients were ineligible,
17.5% were overpaid, and 7.3% were underpaid. Legislation has been
proposed to simplify the AFDC matching formula, to include stepparents' income in determining eligibility, and to revise and simplify
work-related income disregards to focus resources on the most needy.
Income assistance simplification,—Certain of the specific reforms
recommended for programs that provide benefits to individuals, are
steps toward a more rational system of income support for the poor
and the needy. In the longer run, a more comprehensive approach is
needed that will avoid problems of inequity, different and unjustified
eligibility requirements, and gaps in and overlapping of benefits. The
average beneficiary of income assistance payments is participating in
three major federally assisted benefit programs. There is evidence that
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
141
the cumulative benefits are very unevenly distributed among persons
in need, with substantial sums going to persons not in need. Methods
will be developed for gathering national information on the actual
distribution and amounts of benefits of these programs, and on the
characteristics and resources of persons eligible for and benefiting
from these programs. As a step toward a more rational system, legislative authority is requested to simplify the administration of national
income assistance programs. These modifications would be within
carefully prescribed limits to achieve defined objectives, and would
be subject to congressional disapproval. The total income assistance
resources devoted to the needy would not decrease through the use of
this authority. Changes in one program would be accompanied by
other changes to the extent necessary to assure that the overall income assistance effort is maintained. This proposed authority would
permit the Administration to achieve greater consistency in eligibility requirements, benefit levels and related organization structures,
and thus improve the delivery of benefits. It would simplify and
reduce the costs of administration, assure more equitable treatment for all individuals and families in similar situations, and promote
work incentives for those who are employable. These reforms would
make it possible to avoid the haphazard course of the past, where
treating a problem in one area has generated imbalances or inequities
in the overall income support system and often created work
disincentives.
Housing assistance.—The Department of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD) subsidized housing programs seek to bring
decent housing within the reach of families who otherwise could not
afford it. The most important of these, the lower income housing
assistance program, provides rental subsidies on behalf of eligible
families, with the amount equal to the difference between fair market
rent and a percentage of family income. Participating families may
select housing that meets their specific needs from the stock of existing
units. This program also encourages the construction and rehabilitation
of units in housing markets where the existing stock cannot meet the
needs of eligible families. The homeownership assistance program
(section 235) helps families become homeowners by subsidizing mortgage interest rates down to 5%.
The 1977 budget requests authority to contract for annual payments
of up to $850 million under the lower income housing assistance program. When added to the $359 million in authority expected to be unused at the end of the transition quarter, the new authority should allow
an additional 400,000 units to be approved for rental subsidies in 1977.
142
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
The Federal commitment to subsidize occupants of these units will
range from 15 years to 40 years. Accordingly, use of the requested authority will obligate HUD to make subsidy payments of nearly $23
billion. Assuming that tenant income and market rents rise at an annual rate of 5% during the term of the subsidy contract, outlays per
unit are estimated as follows:
• $397,000 over 40 years, for publicly financed new construction;
• $109,000 over 20 years, for privately owned new construction; and
• $47,000 over 15 years, for existing housing.
In 1976 HUD obligated $264.1 million in homeownership assistance
contract authority, and approvals against this authority are expected
for 100,000 units in 1977. Contractual obligations on behalf of these
units are estimated at $2.4 billion. In addition, HUD will continue to
provide housing assistance for reservation Indians under the conventional public housing program. The 6,000 units proposed for
approval in 1977 are expected to involve a Federal contractual obligation to make subsidy payments of $680 million, with outlays spread
over the 40 years following completion.
The authority proposed for use in 1977 under HUD's three housing
subsidy programs is expected to finance up to 506,000 units.
Subsidy payments on behalf of some 2.7 million housing units are
expected to reach $3.0 billion in 1977, an increase of $557 million over
1976. Of this amount, $462 million would be provided as operating
subsidies for public housing projects, using the performance funding
system. This system bases operating subsidies on the amount that would
be required by a well-run project with the same characteristics. In
calculating subsidy requirements, tenants will be expected to devote
between 15% and 25% of their income to housing. Legislation will be
proposed to allow a single measure of income to be used under the
lower income housing assistance and public housing programs, which
serve the same income groups. These changes will permit a savings of
approximately $112 million in operating subsidy requirements during
1977, and greater amounts in subsequent years. Additional assistance
for existing public housing will be provided under the modernization
program, with capital improvements estimated at $215 million in 1977.
The jood stamp program seeks to assure the needy an opportunity
to purchase an adequate diet. Presently this program is plagued
with a number of problems. These include a complicated system of
deductions from income, accepting applicants' estimates of future
income rather than using previous actual income, and loose assets
tests. Such eligibility requirements allow individuals to participate
who are capable of providing for themselves. Federal food stamp
outlays have increased from $30 million in 1964 to $4.6 billion in
1975. Outlays for 1976 are projected at $5.6 billion with 15 million
participants.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
143
The Administration has proposed reforms of the current program
to simplify and improve the program administration and assure that
benefits go only to the needy. These reforms will reduce program
costs by approximately $1.2 billion in 1977 and increase benefits for
those truly in need. Under these reforms, more than 13 million beneficiaries are estimated to participate in this program in 1977 with
outlays at $4.7 billion. Average individual benefits are projected to
increase from $23 per month in 1976 to $28 per month in 1977.
School lunch and other nutrition programs.—The existing feeding
programs are complex and overlapping. In the early 1940's the school
lunch program was designed to make good use of commodities acquired by the Federal Government under agricultural price support
and surplus removal programs. In recent years the commodities
acquired by these agricultural programs have diminished dramatically.
However, child feeding programs have continued to expand and were
made more complex and costly by the passage of six major laws in as
many years. In 1976, outlays for school lunch and child nutrition programs will be over $2.6 billion. Substantial portions of these outlays
will go to the non-needy; over $600 million will subsidize meals for
children with family income nearly twice the poverty level (above
$10,000 for a family of four).
The feeding programs currently provide benefits in the form
of cash and food to: (1) subsidize lunches and breakfasts served
in schools to all school children regardless of income, (2) provide
support for meals served in summer camps and summer feeding projects, (3) help pay for meals served in residential child care institutions,
day care projects and juvenile detention institutions, and (4) supplement the diets of pregnant women, infants, and young children.
Programs that provide subsidies for meals served to nonpoor children
have grown rapidly and been a factor in the acceleration of Federal
outlays. Benefits under these feeding programs are in addition to
benefits available under the food stamp program.
The proposed Child Nutrition Reform Act is a consolidated block
grant program to help States feed needy children. It will replace 15
existing fragmented, overlapping, and administratively complex programs. The new block grant program shown on the chart will provide
greater funds to feed needy children than now available under existing
law, while permitting substantial Federal savings by the elimination of
the subsidies for the nonpoor. States would have greater flexibility and
discretion to tailor feeding programs to local conditions and preferences. The excessive and unproductive administrative complexities
generated by the present array of categorical programs with different
requirements, standards, and regulations would end.

The Administration's grant program for all needy children would

Earned income credit.—The Tax Reduction Act of 1975 provided
low-income families with children a credit equal to 10% of earned
income with a maximum credit of $400; where the credit exceeds any
taxes owed, the Government pays the difference to the family in
cash. This credit was applicable to incomes earned in calendar year
1975, with payments being made the following spring. Recent tax
legislation extended this credit into calendar year 1976 at half the
previous rate. Federal payments in excess of the tax liability otherwise
owed—counted as outlays—are estimated at $1.2 billion in 1976 and
$0.6 billion in 1977.
The reduction in taxes owed resulting from this credit—counted
as a tax expenditure—is estimated at $0.3 billion in 1976 and $0.1
billion in 1977.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
VETERANS BENEFITS AND SERVICES
This function consists of those Federal programs specifically designed for veterans, their dependents, and survivors.
Program Highlights
• Increase VA medical care staffing by 1,757 full-time
employees, completing personnel improvements recommended in the 1974 "Quality of Care" study.
• Provide compensation and pension benefits to 4.8 million
veterans and their survivors.
• Enact pending legislation to eliminate VA GI bill education benefits for future members of the peacetime
All-Volunteer Force.
• Change current law to limit education program eligibility
for active duty personnel now in service to a readjustment period of 8 years following separation.
• Revise existing legislation to require health insurers to
reimburse the VA for care of insured patients with nonservice connected disabilities.
• Establish, through legislation, a new grant program for
construction and operation of State veterans cemeteries.
• Propose legislation to eliminate veterans burial payments
to the extent that they duplicate other federally funded
benefits.
This budget provides a high level of benefits and services to veterans
and their families. It provides recipients of compensation and education benefits with higher average benefits in 1977 than in 1976.
It also includes funds for additional medical personnel to complete
staffing improvements recommended in the 1974 "Quality of Care"
survey and for high priority construction projects that will improve
VA health care delivery. Legislation reflected in the budget will align
education benefits to the concepts of an All-Volunteer Armed Force
and an 8-year readjustment period; require health insurers to reimburse the VA for medical care provided to covered beneficiaries with
non-service-connected disabilities; and eliminate VA burial benefits
which duplicate other federally funded benefits.
Proposed spending for benefits and services to veterans and their
families totals $17.2 billion in 1977 and in 1978. Expected decreases
in pension and education caseloads, reflecting respectively improve-

ments in other Federal income security programs and declining
active duty force levels, combined with the legislative proposals
reflected in the budget, result in 1977 and 1978 spending which is
lower than that for 1976. In addition, tax expenditures flowing from
the tax-exempt status of compensation and pension payments and of
readjustment benefits are estimated at $0.6 billion and $0.3 billion
respectively in 1977.
Income security for veterans.—In addition to other Federal
income security programs, such as social security and unemployment
assistance, veterans and their families are eligible for special VA
programs which help maintain their income when the veteran is
disabled, aged, or deceased. Outlays for these programs will total an
estimated $8.3 billion in 1977.
Service-connected compensation.—Monthly compensation payments
are provided to veterans who are disabled as a result of military
service. The amount of the benefit is related to the loss of earning
capacity resulting from the disability. Disability and indemnity compensation payments are made to survivors of veterans who die from
service-connected injuries. Recently enacted legislation provided
benefit increases ranging from 10% to 12%for veterans and survivors.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
149
During 1977, an estimated 2.6 million veterans and their survivors
will receive $5.2 billion in compensation benefits.
Non-service-connected pensions.—Pensions are provided to needy
wartime-service veterans who are aged or have become disabled subsequent to their military service. Survivors of wartime-service veterans
also may qualify for pension benefits based on demonstrated financial
need. An estimated 2.2 million veterans and their survivors will
receive $2.8 billion in pension benefits during 1977.
Life insurance.—Insurance programs for veterans and their survivors will provide $34 billion of coverage to 5 million families in
1977. The Servicemen's Group Life Insurance program for military
personnel will provide $65 billion of coverage to 3.3 million families.
Cemetery and burial benefits.—To help the families of deceased
veterans defray the cost of burial in private cemeteries, the budget
provides $46 million in burial plot allowances. Families of deceased
veterans also receive funds to help pay veterans funeral costs. Proposed legislation will eliminate these latter payments in instances
where similar benefits are provided b}^ other federally financed
programs.
Veterans education, training, and rehabilitation.—The education benefits of the GI bill range from college courses to vocational
and on-the-job training. These benefits are designed primarily to assist
veterans make the transition from military to civilian life by helping
them get the education they otherwise might have gotten had they
not served their country in a time of national emergency. Active duty
servicemen and widows and children of veterans who have died or been
totally disabled in military service also are eligible. Service-disabled
veterans with significant disabilities can choose between regular GI
bill benefits or vocational rehabilitation training.
With no change in existing legislation, an estimated 563,000 fewer
beneficiaries would be trained in 1977 than in 1976, reflecting the
decline in active duty force levels with the end of the Vietnam conflict. However, legislation reflected in the budget will reduce training
loads by an additional 540,000. This legislation will eliminate new
enrollments in marginally effective flight and correspondence school
programs and return the education program to an 8-year eligibility
period—sufficient time for a veteran to make the transition from
military to civilian life. In addition, in keeping with similar actions
ending GI bill education programs for post-World War II and Korean
conflict veterans, pending legislation will terminate education benefits for future members of the peacetime All-Volunteer Force. Enactment of these legislative proposals will result in savings of $713 million
in 1977 and $825 million in 1978.

Notwithstanding these projected decreases in the number of people
training under the GI bill, 2.3 million beneficiaries are expected to
be trained in 1977 at an average cost of $1,804, up from $1,727 in
1976. By the end of 1977, 8.3 million people will have received tiaining
under the Vietnam-era GI bill.
Hospital and medical care for veterans.—The Veterans Administration operates a nationwide civilian medical care system that
includes 172 hospitals, 229 outpatient clinics, 89 nursing homes and 18
domiciliaries. Outlays for medical programs will reach an estimated
$4.5 billion in 1977, $379 million more than in 1976.
Medical care and hospital services.—Medical care is available to all
veterans with service-connected disabilities. To the extent that
available facilities and staff are not fully utilized by these veterans,
services also are provided to veterans unable to pay the cost of care.
Many patients who receive treatment in VA facilities for non-serviceconnected ailments have health insurance coverage. Pending legislation
will require health insurers to reimburse the VA medical system for
care provided in such cases. These reimbursements are expected to
total $130 million a year in 1977 and 1978.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
151
In 1977, veterans medical care services will be improved through
strengthened regional management of VA operations and more sharply
focused medical support programs.
I t is estimated that over 1.2 million veterans will be treated in VA
hospitals in 1977 with another 30,500 treated through contracts with
other hospitals at VA expense. In addition, an estimated 15.7 million
outpatient visits will be handled in 1977.

personnel to complete the staffing improvements recommended in the
1974 "Quality of Care" survey, as well as for new research studies
on spinal cord regeneration and health problems of aged veterans.
Construction of hospital and extended care facilities.—Budget authority of $211 million will finance construction for high-priority
new projects including a number to modernize and correct safety
hazards as recommended in the 1974 survey of the quality of care in
VA hospitals.
Veterans housing.—In 1977, the VA will help 364,000 veterans
purchase homes through its mortgage loan guarantee and direct loan
programs.
Other veterans benefits and services.—In 1975, 593,000 veterans were placed in jobs through Jobs for Veterans and the National Alliance of Businessmen. Government agencies and private
industry will continue cooperative efforts to open new job opportunities for veterans in 1977.
The Veterans Administration administers 103 national cemeteries
to provide for the interment of eligible deceased servicemen and
veterans. Proposed legislation will provide grants to States for the
establishment and operation of veterans cemeteries, expanding the
number and geographic distribution of veteran burial sites.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND JUSTICE
This function includes those Federal programs that provide judicial
services; police protection; and the apprehension, prosecution, detention and rehabilitation of criminals, along with financial and technical
assistance to States and localities for their own criminal justice
systems.
Program
Highlights
• Intensify efforts to curtail illegal commerce in firearms and
seek stronger legislation related to handguns.
• Strengthen programs to reduce illegal traffic in narcotics
and dangerous drugs.
• Increase resources devoted to litigation and court support.
• Activate three new correctional institutions and begin
construction of four facilities.
• Adopt a more cautious approach to new State and local
law enforcement grants.
• Expand resources for increased enforcement of the antitrust laws.
• Emphasize apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens.
State and local governments have the primary responsibility for law
enforcement and the administration of justice; they will spend an
estimated $15 billion for these purposes in 1977. Proposed Federal
outlays for law enforcement and justice, which include $834 million of
assistance to State and local governments, are estimated to be $3.4
billion in 1977—nearly the same as in 1976. In 1978, outlays for these
programs are projected to be $3.3 billion. Further discussion of
Federal activities in the law enforcement area is contained in Special
Analysis N, "Federal Programs for the Reduction of Crime."
Federal law enforcement and prosecution.—Outlays for Federal
law enforcement and prosecution will increase slightly in 1977 to an
estimated $1,933 million.
During the past year, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
(ATF) began an intensified effort to curtail illegal commerce in firearms. This action is designed to assist local police in disrupting
distribution channels and prosecuting those who engage in this trade.
Vigorous enforcement of present firearms laws will complement the
Administration's legislative proposals, which include mandatory
sentences for felons convicted of using such weapons, prohibitions on
the manufacture and sale of "Saturday night specials," and a man-

datory waiting period between purchase and receipt of handguns. In
1977, outlay increases for ATF programs to reduce violent crime will
be partially offset by reductions in activities related to illegal liquor
production, which has declined sharply in recent years.
The Customs Service will reduce staff in 1977 to reflect the impact
of an unanticipated decline in the number of travelers who arrived
from foreign countries and formal import entries recorded in 1975.
Within the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), staff will
be redeployed to emphasize apprehension, detention, and ultimate
deportation of illegal aliens. Border patrol operations will continue at
1976 levels. Expected productivity gains will allow modest staff reductions for port-of-entry inspections and background investigations of
immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) coordinates Federal
activities to control illegal production and sale of narcotics and
dangerous drugs, provides technical assistance and training to support
State and local police, and assists foreign governments in curbing

smuggling. DEA will emphasize control of hard drugs and concentrate
its resources on high level offenders in order to disrupt distribution
channels and organizations.
Outlays for the Federal Bureau of Investigation will decline slightly
due to expected productivity increases, improved management practices, and deferred acquisition of selected equipment. The intensive
effort to combat white collar and organized crime will not be
diminished.
The Justice Department conducts most Federal litigation in both
civil and criminal matters. Most Washington-based legal divisions will
be held to 1976 staff levels. However, additional resources are requested for the Antitrust Division in order to carry out the Administration's program for increased enforcement of the antitrust laws.
Staff in the U.S. attorneys' field offices will expand by 9% to handle
burgeoning civil and criminal caseloads of increasing complexity.
The Legal Services Corporation provides aid in non-criminal cases
for clients who are unable to afford legal services; outlays are estimated
to be $83 million in 1977.
Constitutional guarantees of equality are enforced through civil
rights programs of the Department of Justice and other Federal
agencies. These programs are discussed in detail in Special Analysis
M, "Federal civil rights activities."
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
155
Federal judicial activities.—By law, the President's budget forwards estimates for the Judiciary without change. In 1977, the budgets
of the Supreme Court, the appellate and district courts, other activities of the judicial branch in this subfunction, and certain other
judicial activities amount to $378 million, an increase of 12% from
1976 level of $338 million.
Federal correctional and rehabilitative activities.—Three new
correctional institutions will be activated and construction will begin
on four additional facilities—metropolitan detention centers in Detroit
and Phoenix, a youth correction center in Alabama, and an adult
correction center in New York. These facilities are needed to alleviate
overcrowding problems in existing penal institutions.
Law enforcement assistance.—The Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration (LEAA) is responsible for providing Federal assistance
to State and local criminal justice systems; legislation to extend the
LEAA program for 5 years has been submitted to the Congress. In
1977, proposed outlays for LEAA grant programs will decline by 8%,
reflecting a more cautious approach in this area. Improved selectivity
in grant activities, coupled with a greater distribution of resources for
evaluation and research, will enable LEAA to determine and pursue
those programs which promise the most impact on reducing crime in
the United States. Such evaluation will improve decisions on the
level and direction of LEAA assistance.
In 1977, State and local governments will be asked to pay one-half
the costs of law enforcement training programs conducted for their
officials by the FBI. Other Federal agencies will continue to provide
technical assistance upon request.
156
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
General government programs encompass many fundamental
Federal activities including the legislative branch, the Executive Office
of the President, collection of revenues and Government-wide operations affecting property, supplies, and personnel. Outlays for general
government programs will decrease by $114 million in 1977 to an estimated $3.4 billion. In 1978, outlays for these programs are estimated
to be $3.9 billion.
Program Highlights
• Plan for an Office of Science and Technology Policy to
give scientific and technological advice and assistance to
the President.
• Accomplish Internal Revenue Service functions with
reduced staff through anticipated productivity increases
and other management improvements.
• Plan for proposed new territory, the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands.
• Convene a National Women's Conference.
Legislative functions.—By law, the President's budget contains
estimates for the legislative branch as they are submitted by that
branch. The legislative branch proposes to spend $789 million in
1977 for the Congress, the General Accounting Office, the Congressional Budget Office, and other activities in this subfunction.
Executive direction and management.—Outlays for the White
House, the Executive Office of the President, and related activities
are expected to be $75 million.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy is planned to begin
operations in 1976, subject to the enactment of authorizing legislation
now before the Congress. The Office will advise the President on
scientific and technological aspects of national policies, programs, and
issues, and on the use of new discoveries in science and technology in
addressing national problems.
Central fiscal operations.—Computer verification of tax returns
by the Internal Revenue Service will be expanded in 1977 to process
the increasing number of tax returns. The one-time surge of pension
plans and amendments filed under provisions of the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 will be handled by temporarily assigning personnel engaged in other areas to the review of
these materials. Expected productivity and management improvements and a slight reduction of compliance coverage will permit lower
staff levels in other tax administration programs.
General property and records management.—The
General
Services Administration proposes $28 million for new and augmented
construction projects. The repair and alterations program of $61
million represents an approximate reduction of 40% from the 1976
program level. GSA will also undertake efforts to make its operations
and maintenance activities more cost competitive with the private
sector. More equitable and realistic standard level user charges
will be developed for incorporation in 1978. These are rates that GSA
charges its tenant agencies for space and related services, pursuant to
the Public Buildings Amendments of 1972.
Central personnel management.—During the past year, the
President's Panel on Federal Compensation made an extensive and
158
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
comprehensive review of the appropriate levels of compensation
for Federal civilian employees under the principle of comparability
with the private sector work force. Major refinements in the current
system of comparability were suggested. Some changes could be
adopted by administrative action while others would require legislative action by the Congress. With respect to the development of
career executives, Federal agencies are being directed to strengthen
their internal programs of executive selection and training.
The Commission on Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Salaries
will conduct a quadrennial review of appropriate pay levels for upper
level positions in the three branches of the Federal Government. The
President will request that the Commission complete its report in
time for preparing recommendations to the Congress in January 1977,
as contemplated by law.
Other general government.—Outlays for programs in this subfunction are estimated to decline by nearly $120 million in 1977 to a
level of $520 million. Contributing to the decline in outlays are the
phaseout of the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration
activities, the completion of funding of the 1976 Presidential election
campaign and reduced amounts for the Trust Territory of the Pacific
Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.
Appropriations will be requested to convene a National Women's
Conference under recently enacted legislation. The major objectives
of the conference will be to assess progress toward insuring equality
for all women and to set goals for eliminating barriers toward their
full and equal participation in American life.
Federal Financing Bank.—By law, the Federal Financing Bank
(FFB) budget is excluded from budget totals. However, mention of
the magnitude of its operations is required to present a more complete
description of the Federal Government's impact on the economy.
Since its creation on December 29, 1973, the FFB has become a
major coordinating instrument of Federal agency and federally assisted
borrowing from the public. Most Federal agencies are using the Bank
to finance those programs that depend upon the sale of credit market
instruments, including agency securities, guaranteed obligations,
participation agreements, and loan assets. In 1975 the Bank had 150
loans and advances outstanding totaling $13.3 billion. In 1977, these
outstanding balances are estimated to total $39 billion. Further discussion of the FFB and its activities is contained in Part 2 of this
document and Special Analyses C and E in the Special Analyses
volume.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
159
REVENUE SHARING AND GENERAL PURPOSE FISCAL
ASSISTANCE
This function includes Federal aid to State, local, and territorial
governments that is available for general fiscal support and may be
used at the State or local governments7 discretion for a range of
functional purposes. Outlays in 1977 are estimated to be $7.4 billion,
rising further in 1978 to $7.7 billion.
Program Highlights
• Renew general revenue sharing through 1982 with annual
increases.
• Provide a Federal payment of $280 million to the District
of Columbia in 1977.
• Provide temporary emergency assistance for New York
City.
General revenue sharing.—General revenue sharing has become
a significant element in the fiscal relationship between the Federal
Government and State and local governments. Outlays in 1977 will
be $6.6 billion, with one-third going to State governments and twothirds to local governments. The Administration has recommended
that general revenue sharing, which terminates December 31, 1976,
be extended through September 30, 1982. The proposed legislation
will continue the authorization and appropriation of specific annual
amounts, increasing by $150 million annually to $7.2 billion for 1982.
Over the 5-year authorized life of the current program, $30.2 billion
of Federal funds will have been distributed. These payments are
made to States and localities with minimal Federal restrictions and
controls, thus allowing regional and local decisionmaking to address
regional and local needs. The principal Federal requirements of the
program address such concerns as assuring nondiscrimination and
public participation in spending decisions.
The Office of Revenue Sharing (ORS) supplements its own efforts
to assure compliance with program requirements by relying on other
Federal and State agencies. In addition, agreements have been
signed with a number of State audit and human rights agencies to
provide investigative assistance.

Other general purpose fiscal assistance.—The Federal Government returns all or part of certain taxes and other revenues to specific
jurisdictions. For example, the Department of Agriculture pays 25%
of most national forest receipts to States for roads and schools in
counties where the receipts are generated. The Department of the
Interior returns to States and counties part of its receipts for activities
such as timber sales, mineral leasing, and grazing permits on Federal
lands. In addition, the Department of the Treasury returns to Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands most Federal taxes and other revenues
collected there.
Most of these payments to States and counties will be low in 1977
because such payments usually are paid in the quarter immediately
following the end of the fiscal year in which the receipts were generated.
The payments based on 1976 receipts will be paid in the transition

quarter, while payments made in 1977 will be based mainly on receipts

The District of Columbia's operating budget is financed by local
taxes and by an annual payment to compensate for burdens placed on
the District as the Nation's Capital. A Federal payment of $280
million is requested for 1977.
Public Law 94-143 established the New York City Seasonal Financing Fund, which authorizes short-term loans by the Federal Government to the city through June 30, 1978. The amount of loans outstanding may not exceed $2.3 billion in any year. New York City will
be required to repay these loans by the end of the city's fiscal year.
The Federal Financing Bank is authorized to purchase the loans from
the Treasury. As a result, there will be no net effect on budget outlays
for any fiscal year. New York City will pay interest at the rate of 1%
above Treasury borrowing rates into the general fund of the Treasury.
Most Federal grants to State and local governments are classified in
other functions of the budget since they are intended to meet particular
program objectives rather than provide general financial support.
Functions that include substantial funds for grants to State and local
governments are: Commerce and transportation; Community and
regional development; Education, training, employment, and social
services; Health; and Income security. The Administration is proposing a number of reforms in grant programs to consolidate narrow
categorical grants into broad-based block grants. A detailed discussion
of Federal assistance to State and local governments is contained in
Special Analysis O, "Federal aid to State and local governments,"
in the Special Analyses volume.
Two major tax expenditures also provide fiscal assistance to States
and localities. The exclusion from reportable income of interest on
State and local obligations allows these governments to borrow at
lower interest rates. The revenue thus foregone by the Treasury is
estimated to be $4.5 billion in 1977. In addition, the deductibility of
State and local taxes from gross income allows individuals who itemize
deductions to partially offset their State and local tax liabilities
through reduced Federal taxes; the revenue loss is estimated to be
$6.7 billion in 1977.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
INTEREST
Interest is the cost of borrowing or lending money. This function
includes both interest paid and received by the Federal Government.
Budget outlays for the interest function are estimated to rise by
$3.9 billion in 1976, and by another $6.5 billion in 1977, reaching
$41.3 billion. These increases result largely from the financing of
budget deficits of $76 billion in 1976 and $43 billion in 1977. By 1978,
interest costs are estimated to grow to $44.8 billion.

(which are shown as undistributed offsetting receipts) will amount
to $8.4 billion in 1977. They are deducted from both outlays and
budget authority in arriving at budget totals, since they are intragovernmental transactions. As shown in the table below, net interest
outlays are projected to be $32.9 billion in 1977.

In addition, $6.2 billion of the interest paid on securities held by
the Federal Reserve banks will be returned to the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. Hence, the net impact on the 1977 budget of interest
paid will be $26.7 billion.
A significant tax expenditure arises from the optional deferral of
tax on the interest income of U.S. savings bonds. Normally the interest
would be taxed each year as it is credited, but the holder may defer
paying the tax until the bond is redeemed. The associated revenue
loss is about $0.7 billion in 1977.

Information on budget authority for 1975, 1976. and the transition quarter is shown in table 14

Allowances are included in the 1977 budget to cover civilian agency
pay raises and contingencies. The outlay allowance for civilian agency
pay raises, which covers pay raises due to take effect in October 1976,
is $760 million for 1977. Outlays for the allowance for contingencies are
$200 million in 1976 and $1.5 billion in 1977. The contingency allowance for relatively uncontrollable programs is zero because the probability of net decreases or net increases for such programs is believed to
be equal.
The Federal Pay Comparability Act of 1970 provides an annual
system for adjusting Federal pay on the basis of comparability with
the private sector. During the past year, the President's Panel on
Federal Compensation made an extensive and comprehensive review
of the appropriate levels of Federal civilian employees' pay under
the principle of comparability. Major improvements in the current
system of comparability were recommended, some of which can be
implemented by administrative action and some of which require
legislation.
For purposes of making budget estimates, it has been assumed that
the Panel's recommended administrative changes will be reflected in
the October 1976 pay raise. The major administrative changes recommended are to include data on secretaries and computer operators in
the comparability survey, and to weight appropriately the survey data.
It is anticipated that these changes in the survey will reduce the average comparability increase in October 1976 from the earlier estimate of
11.5%, although the exact amount cannot as yet be determined. These
changes may affect the increase for lower grades more than for higher
grades because the newly included data relate more to the lower
grades.
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION
165
Legislation will be proposed to initiate other reforms recommended
by the President's pay panel. These include splitting the piesent
general schedule into two schedules, and setting salaries in the new
clerical and technical schedule on a locality basis. The Panel also
recommended furthei study to determine the feasibility of expanding
the comparability principle to include fringe benefits as well as pay.
In addition to these changes, and consistent with the President's
comprehensive program of fiscal restraint, it presently appears necessary to limit the increase in Federal salaries. The budget assumes that
October 1976 pay increases for white-collar employees will be limited
to 5%. Smaller increases may be received by some employees—
consistent with changes in the comparability process—but for budget
purposes, it is assumed that all employees will receive at least a 3%
increase. The estimated average increase is 4.7%. A full return to
comparability is assumed for 1978. In accordance with a change in the
law made in 1975, an allowance for equivalent pay raises for executive,
legislative, and judicial salaries is included.
A final decision on the need for pay restraint, and on its nature, will
be made by the President in late summer after a review of the economic
and fiscal situation at that time and after a review of the recommendations of his pay agent, the Federal Employees Pay Council, and the
Advisory Committee on Federal Pay.
The President also will submit legislation to implement the Pay
Panel's recommendations for reform of certain aspects of the law
governing wage board pay rates which result in blue-collar workers
earning more than their private sector counterparts. The 1977
allowance includes the effect of this proposed legislation. Other
reforms and changes proposed by the Panel are not expected to affect
total pay levels significantly in 1977.

UNDISTRIBUTED OFFSETTING RECEIPTS
Offsetting receipts are generally netted against budget authority
and outlays at the function or subfunction and agency levels. (See
part 6 for a detailed explanation.) However, there are three instances
where the offsetting receipts are sufficiently different that they are
deducted from the budget as a whole, rather than being offset at
the agency and functional level.

For these programs, budget authority equals outlays.
Employer share, employee retirement is composed of payments by
Federal agencies to retirement funds of its employees. About twothirds of these payments are to the Civil Service retirement fund
with the remainder paid mostly to the Social Security trust funds.
Most trust fund balances are—by law—invested in interest-bearing
Federal debt securities. The interest received by trust nonrevolving
funds is included as an undistributed deduction rather than being
offset against the interest function. These payments are estimated to
be $8.4 billion in 1977.
Rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf are not directly
related to a specific program in the budget. The Government plans
to lease more lands off the west and gulf coasts in fiscal year 1976,
along with, for the first time, lands in the Gulf of Alaska. In the
transition quarter, the mid-Atlantic tracts off the east coast are
scheduled to be opened to exploration. In 1977, additional sales are
planned in all these areas. Receipts from these leased tracts are
estimated to be $6.0 billion in 1977.
PART 6
THE BUDGET SYSTEM
AND CONCEPTS
167

THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
The budget system of the U.S. Government is based upon a structure
for financial administration that has as objectives the efficient management of programs in relation to the requirements of the Nation and
effective financial control.
This year the budget process continues to undergo changes due to
the enactment of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control
Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344). The act established new congressional budget procedures and a new fiscal year period (October 1
through September 30) effective with fiscal year 1977. There will be a
3-month transition quarter between fiscal year 1976, which ends
June 30, 1976, and fiscal year 1977, which begins October 1, 1976.
THE BUDGET PROCESS
The budget process has four main phases: (1) executive formulation
and transmittal; (2) congressional action; (3) budget execution and
control; and (4) review and audit. Each of these phases interrelates
with and overlaps the others.
Executive formulation and transmittal.—The budget sets forth
the President's financial plan of operation and thus indicates his
priorities for the Nation for the coming year. The President's transmittal of his budget to the Congress early in each calendar year is the
climax of many months of planning and analysis throughout the executive branch. Formulation of the 1977 budget began in the spring of
1975, although tentative goals for some programs were set earlier—
when the 1976 budget was transmitted to the Congress in February
of 1975.
During the period when a budget is being formulated in the executive branch, there is a continuous exchange of information, proposals,
evaluations, and policy determinations among the President, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the various Government agencies.
In the spring, agency programs are evaluated, policy issues are
identified, and budgetary projections are made, giving attention both
to important modifications and innovations in programs and to
alternative long-range program plans. Preliminary plans are then
presented to the President for his consideration. At about the same
time, the President receives projections of the economic outlook that
are prepared jointly by the Council of Economic Advisers, the Treas168
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
169
ury Department, and OMB and reviewed by the Economic Policy
Board. The President also receives projections of estimated receipts
prepared by the Treasury Department.
Following a review of both sets of projections, the President establishes general budget and fiscal policy guidelines for the fiscal year
that will begin about 15 months later. Tentative policy determinations
and planning ceilings are then given to the agencies to govern the
preparation of their budgets.
Throughout the fall and early winter the executive branch is involved in two related budgetary processes. One is the preparation of
the current services estimates, required by the Congressional Budget
Act to be transmitted to the Congress by November 10 of each year.
These estimates are projections of budget authority and outlays
required to continue ongoing Federal programs and activities in the
upcoming fiscal year without policy changes from the fiscal year in
progress at the time the estimates are submitted.
The second process is the preparation of the President's budget
for transmittal to the Congress. This process involves a detailed
review of agency budget requests by OMB. These requests and OMB's
recommendations on them are presented to the President for decision.
Overall fiscal policy issues—relating to total budget outlays and receipts—are again examined. Moreover, the effects of budget decisions
on outlays in the years that follow are also considered and are explicitly
taken into account.
The actual budget data from the most recently completed fiscal
year and updated estimates for the current fiscal year provide an
essential reference base in this review and decision process. Thus, the
budget process involves the simultaneous consideration of the resource
needs of individual programs and the total outlays and receipts that
are appropriate in relation to the outlook for the national economy.
The budget reflects the results of both of these considerations.
Congressional action.—The Congress can act as it wishes on the
President's budget proposals. It can change programs, eliminate them,
or add programs not requested by the President. It can increase or
decrease the amounts recommended by the President to finance
existing and proposed new programs. It may also act upon legislation
determining taxes and other means of raising receipts.
In making appropriations the Congress does not normally vote on
outlays directly, but rather on budget authority. The Congress
first enacts legislation that authorizes an agency to carry out a particular program and, in some cases, sets a limit on the amount that
subsequently can be considered for appropriation for the program.
Many programs are authorized for a specified number of years, or
even indefinitely; other programs, such as nuclear energy, space
170
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
exploration, defense procurement, foreign affairs, and some construction programs, require annual authorizing legislation.
The granting of budget authority is usually a separate, subsequent
action. As a normal rule, budget authority becomes available each
year only as voted by the Congress. However, in a significant number
of cases, the Congress has voted permanent budget authority, under
which funds become available annually without further congressional
action. Most trust fund appropriations are permanent, as are many
Federal fund appropriations, such as the appropriation to pay interest
on the public debt.
Congressional review begins when the President transmits his current services estimates to the Congress some 2 months before the
President's budget is transmitted. While these current services estimates are neither recommended amounts nor estimates as to what the
figures for the budget year will actually turn out to be, the Congress
may use these estimates as a base upon which to examine the budget
transmitted in January.
Upon receipt of the President's budget, the Congress will follow
new procedures required by the Congressional Budget Act in addition
to its established pattern of considering requests for appropriations
and changes in revenue laws.
Under the new procedures the Congress will consider budget totals
prior to completing action on individual appropriations. The act requires that by March 15, the new House and Senate Budget Committees receive reports on budget estimates from all other congressional
committees, as well as a fiscal policy report from the new Congressional
Budget Office, by April 1. This is followed by the adoption of the first
concurrent budget resolution, no later than May 15, containing
Government-wide budget targets of receipts, budget authority, and
outlays to guide Congress in its subsequent consideration of appropriations and revenue measures.
Congressional consideration of requests for appropriations and for
changes in revenue laws will continue to follow an established pattern.
These requests are considered first in the House of Representatives.
The appropriations committee, through its subcommittees, studies the
proposals for appropriations and examines in detail each agency's
performance. The Ways and Means Committee reviews proposed
revenue measures. Each committee then recommends the action to be
taken by the House of Representatives.
As appropriations and tax bills are approved by the House, they
are forwarded to the Senate, where a similar review process is followed.
In case of disagreement between the two Houses of Congress, a conference committee (consisting of Members of both bodies) meets to
resolve the issues. The report of the conference committee is returned
to both Houses for approval, and when agreed to, the measures are
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
171
then ready to be transmitted to the President in the form of an
enrolled bill, for his approval or veto.
After action has been completed on all money bills, the Congress
will, by September 15, adopt a second concurrent resolution. The
resolution adopted by the Congress will contain budget ceilings
classified by function for budget authority and outlays and a floor for
revenue measures. This resolution may retain or revise the appropriate
levels set earlier in the year, and can include directives to the appropriations committees and to other committees with jurisdiction over
budget authority or entitlements to recommend changes in new or
carryover authority or entitlements. Similarly, the second resolution
may direct the appropriate committees to recommend changes in
Federal revenues or in the public debt. Changes recommended by
various committees pursuant to the second budget resolution are to be
reported in a reconciliation bill (or resolution, in some cases) whose
enactment is scheduled by September 25, a few days before the new
fiscal year commences on October 1.
With enactment of the reconciliation bill, the congressional budget
process will be completed. At this point, Congress may not consider
any spending or revenue legislation that would breach any of the
levels specified in the second resolution. In other words, Congress
would not be able to pass a supplemental appropriation if it would
cause spending to rise above the levels of the second budget resolution,
nor could it cut revenues below the second resolution's totals. However, Congress may adopt a new budget resolution any time during
the fiscal year.
If action on appropriations is not completed by the beginning of
the fiscal year, the Congress may enact a "continuing resolution" to
provide authority for the affected agencies to continue operations until
their regular appropriations are enacted.
Budget execution and control.—Once approved, the budget
becomes the financial basis for the operations of each agency during the
fiscal year.
Under the law, most budget authority and other budgetary resources are made available to the agencies of the executive branch
through an apportionment system. Under authority delegated by the
President, the Director of OMB apportions (distributes) appropriations and other budgetary resources to each agency by time periods
(usually quarters) or by activities. Obligations may not be incurred in
excess of the amount apportioned. The objective of the apportionment
system is to ensure the effective and orderly use of available authority
and to reduce the need for requesting additional or supplemental
authority.
172
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
Changes in laws or other factors may indicate the need for more
authority during the year, and supplemental requests may have to
be transmitted to the Congress. On the other hand, reserves may be
established under the Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665) to provide
for contingencies or to effect savings made possible by or through
changes in requirements or greater efficiency of operations. Amounts
may also be withheld for policy or other reasons, pursuant to the
Impoundment Control Act.
Whenever the President determines that all or part of any budget
authority provided by the Congress will not be required to carry out
the full objectives or scope of a program for which it was provided, or
that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal policy or
other reasons, a special message is transmitted by the President to the
Congress requesting a rescission of the budget authority. The budget
authority proposed by the President for rescission must be made
available for obligation unless both the House and Senate pass a
rescission bill within 45 days of continuous session after receiving
the President's message.
Whenever all or part of any budget authority provided by the
Congress is deferred (i.e., temporarily withheld from obligation) the
President transmits a special message to the Congress on such deferrals. Either House may pass a resolution disapproving this deferral
of budget authority, thus requiring that the funds be made available
for obligation. When no congressional action is taken, deferrals may
remain in effect until, but not beyond, the end of the fiscal year.
Review and audit.—This is the final step in the budget process.
The individual agencies are responsible for assuring—through their
own review and control systems—that the obligations they incur and
the resulting outlays follow the provisions of the authorizing and
appropriating legislation, as well as other laws and regulations relating
to the obligation and expenditure of funds. OMB reviews program
and financial reports and keeps abreast of agency programs and the
effort to attain program objectives.
In addition, the Comptroller General, as agent of the Congress,
regularly audits, examines, and evaluates Government programs.
His findings and recommendations for corrective action are made to
the Congress, to OMB, and to the agencies concerned. The Comptroller General also monitors the executive branch's reporting of
special messages on proposed rescissions and deferrals. He reports
any items not reported by the executive branch and any differences
that he may have with the classification (as a rescission or deferral)
of withholdings included in special messages submitted by the President. The Comptroller General may bring civil actions to obtain
compliance should the President fail to make budget authority available in accordance with the Impoundment Control Act.
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
173
COVERAGE OF THE BUDGET TOTALS
Agencies and programs.—The budget totals cover agencies and
programs (including Government corporations) administered by the
Federal Government, no matter how funded, except for the following:
Exchange stabilization fund,
Rural electrification and telephone revolving fund,
Rural Telephone Bank,
Environmental Financing Authority,1
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
Housing for the elderly or handicapped fund,
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation,
Postal Service fund,
United States Railway Association,
Federal Financing Bank,
Energy Independence Authority (proposed).2
In addition to these exceptions, the totals exclude privately owned,
Government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal land banks
and Federal home loan banks. Information on the excluded Government agencies and on the Government-sponsored enterprises is discussed in Part 2 of the Budget and presented in the form of "annexed
budgets" in Part IV of the Budget Appendix.3
Functional classification.*—The functional classification arrays
budgetary data according to the major purpose served by the unit
being classified (usually, a budget account). In accordance with the
Congressional Budget Act, the Congress will pass resolutions establishing budget targets and ceilings by functional categories.
The following criteria are used in establishing and in assigning
activities to functional categories:
• A function must have a common end or ultimate purpose addressed
to an important national need. (The emphasis is on what the
Federal Government seeks to accomplish rather than the means
of accomplishment, what is purchased, or the clientele or geographic area served.)
• A function must be of continuing national, importance and be
significant in size, i.e., normally account for at least 2% of total
budget outlays over a number of years.
• The basic unit of classification generally is the appropriation or
fund account. Occasionally, an appropriation account serves more
than one major purpose. Accordingly, an account may be divided

A further discussion of this subject is found in Part 5 of this Volume.
174
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
into two or more subfunctions. Any such division requires a
compelling reason, and must involve relatively large amounts
for each subfunction.
• Each unit is classified into the single best or predominant purpose
served. Thus, a unit is assigned to only one function.
• Activities and programs are normally classified by common
purpose (or function) regardless of which agencies conduct the
activities.
Types of funds.—Agency activities are financed through Federal
funds and through trust funds, both of which are included in the
budget.
Federal funds are of four types. The general fund is credited with
receipts not earmarked by law for a specific purpose, and is charged
with payments from such receipts and from general borrowing. Special
funds contain Federal receipts earmarked for specific purposes, other
than for carrying out a cycle of operations. Public enterprise (revolving) funds finance a cycle of business-type operations in which
outlays generate collections, primarily from the public. Intragovernmental revolving and management funds facilitate financing operations
within and between Government agencies.
Trust funds are established to account for receipt and expenditure of
moneys by the Government for use in carrying out specific purposes
and programs in accordance with the terms of a trust agreement or
statute. These moneys are not available for the general purposes of
the Government. Within the category of trust funds there is a special
subcategory of trust revolving funds that carry on a C3^cle of businesstype operations.
Current expense and capital outlay.—The budget includes
spending for both current operating expenses and capital outlays such
as the purchase of lands, structures, and equipment. It also includes
capital outlays in the form of lending and the purchase of investments.
These categorizations of outlays are discussed in Special Analysis D.
However, it excludes from obligations and outlays the acquisition of
Federal debt securities issued by the Government itself (either by the
Treasury Department or b}^ other Federal agencies).
BUDGET AUTHORITY AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Budget authority.—Government agencies are permitted to enter
into obligations requiring either immediate or future payment of
money only when they have been granted authority to do so by law.
The amounts thus authorized b}^ the Congress are called budget
authority.
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
175
Budget authority permits obligations to be incurred, and for most
accounts the amount of the authority is related to the obligations
expected to be incurred during the year. In some cases—especially
construction (other than water resources projects), research, and procurement—budget authority is requested and provided to finance the
full cost of each project at the time it is started, regardless of when
obligations are expected to be incurred and the expected time of
completion. In other cases, certain insurance or other programs are
provided with standby budget authority that may never be used fully
but is available if certain contingencies should arise.
Budget authority usually takes the form of appropriations, which
permit obligations to be incurred and payments to be made. Some
budget authority is in the form of contract authority, which permits
obligations in advance of appropriations and therefore requires a subsequent appropriation or receipts to "liquidate" (pay) these obligations.
There is also authority to spend debt receipts (i.e., borrowing authority))
such budget authority permits the use of borrowed money to incur
obligations and make payments. Where such authority pertains to the
borrowing from the Treasury, it is authority to spend public debt
receipts. Authority for a Government agency to borrow directly from
the public or from a Government-administered fund available for
investment is authority to spend agency debt receipts.
Starting in January 1976, it is not in order for either House of the
Congress to consider any bill, with certain exceptions, that provides
new borrowing or contract authority unless that bill also provides
that such new spending authority will be effective only to the extent
and in such amounts as are provided in appropriations acts.
Most appropriations for current operations are made available for
obligation only during a specified fiscal year (1-year appropriations).
Some are for a specified longer period (multiple-year appropriations).
Others, including most of those for construction, some for research,
and many trust fund appropriations, are made available for obligation until the objectives have been attained (no-year appropriations).
When budget authority is made available by the Congress for a
specific period of time, any part that is not used for obligations during
that period lapses and cannot be used later. Reappropriations—
congressional actions to continue availability of unused balances
that have lapsed—are counted as budget authority in the year of the
congressional action.
A rescission is a legislative action that cancels budget authority prior
to the time the authority would otherwise have lapsed. Rescissions
are offset against new budget authority in arriving at the total of
budget authority for each year. A deferral is an executive branch
action or inaction—including the establishment of reserves under the
Antideficiency Act—that effectively delays the obligation or expendi-
176
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR
1977
ture of budget authority. Deferrals may not extend beyond the end
of the fiscal year and may be overturned at any time by either House
of Congress.
Most authority to obligate funds is granted year by year {current
authority). Under certain laws, some budget authority in Federal funds
and most budget authority in the trust funds become available from
time to time without further action by the Congress {permanent
authority).
The amount of budget authority is usually stated specifically in the
legislation that makes it available {definite authority). In a few cases
the amount is left indefinite, to be determined by subsequent circumstances {indefinite authority). Examples of the latter type are the
appropriation for interest on the public debt, and the trust fund
appropriation equal to receipts under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security).
Obligations incurred.—Following the enactment of budget
authority, obligations are incurred by Government agencies. Such
obligations include the currently accruing liabilities for salaries and
wages, certain contractual services, and interest; entering into contracts for the purchase of supplies and equipment, construction and
the acquisition of land; entering into contracts to make loans; and
other contractual arrangements requiring the payment of money.
Outlays.—Obligations generally are liquidated by the issuance of
checks or the disbursement of cash; such payments are called outlays.
In lieu of issuing checks, obligations may also be liquidated (and outlays occur) by the maturing of interest coupons in the case of some
bonds, or by the issuance of bonds or notes (or increases in the redemption value of bonds outstanding). Outlays during any fiscal year may
be payments of obligations incurred in prior years or in the same year.
Such outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of
prior year budget authority and in part from budget authority provided for the year in which the money is spent. Total budget outlays
include deductions for offsetting collections (see Receipts, below).5
Balances of authority.—Not all budget authority enacted for a
fiscal year is obligated and paid out in the same year. The obligated
balance is that portion of the budget authority that has been obligated
but not yet paid. For example, in the case of salaries and wages, one to
three weeks elapse between the time of obligation and the time of
payment. In the case of major procurement and construction, up to
several years may elapse. Obligated balances of budget authority are
carried forward until the obligations are subsequently paid. In addi* This process is depicted on a chart "Relation of Budget Authority to Outlays —1977 Budget"
in Part 2 of this volume.
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
177
tion, in multiple-year or no-year accounts, budget authority that is
still available for obligation may be carried forward for obligation in
the following year. These are unobligated balances.
Therefore, a change in the amount of budget authority for a given
year does not necessarily result in a similar change in either the obligations incurred or the budget outlays of that same year. A change in
budget authority in any one year may have an effect on obligations for
2 or more years, and may affect budget outlays for an even longer
period. In the case of standby budget authority, obligations and
outlays may never materialize.
Allocations between agencies.—In some cases, one or more
agencies may share in the administration of a program for which
appropriations are made to another agency or to the President. This
is made possible, in the accounts, by the establishment of allocations
from the "parent" account (the account to which the appropriation
was made). Obligations incurred through such allocations are included
with the parent account in the Budget (without separate identification)
and in the Budget Appendix (where the total obligations of each
participating agency are identified separately).
RECEIPTS
In general.—Receipts represent amounts collected during the year
and are classified into two major categories:
• Budget receipts, which are compared with total outlays in calculating the budget surplus or deficit.
• Offsetting collections, which are deducted from disbursements in
calculating total outlays. Corresponding offsets are made in
arriving at total budget authority and net obligations incurred.
Budget receipts.—Budget receipts are collections from the public
that result from the exercise of the Government's sovereign or governmental powers and from contributions paid by participants in
certain voluntary Federal social insurance programs. They consist
primarily of tax receipts and social insurance premiums, but also
include receipts from court fines, certain licenses, and war reparations
(in applicable years). Gifts and contributions (as distinguished from
payments for services or cost-sharing deposits by State and local
governments) are also counted as budget receipts.
Offsetting collections.—These are classified into two types: collections credited to appropriation or fund accounts and offsetting receipts
(that is, amounts deposited in receipt accounts). Generally, collections
credited to appropriation or fund accounts can be used without
178
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
appropriation action by the Congress, whereas funds in receipt accounts
cannot be used without being appropriated.
Collections credited to appropriation or fund accounts occur in two
circumstances:
• Reimbursements.—When authorized by law, some incidental
sums collected are treated as reimbursements to appropriations;
these are netted in determining outlays from such appropriations.
• Revolving funds.—In the three types of revolving funds—
public enterprise, intragovernmental, and trust revolving—
collections are regularly netted against spending.
Offsetting receipts generally are deducted from budget authority
and outlays by function and subfunction and by agency. Offsetting
receipts are subdivided into two major categories, as follows:
• Proprietary receipts from the public.—These are collections from
the public—deposited in receipt accounts of the general fund,
special funds, or trust funds—that arise out of the business-type
or market-oriented activities of the Government (for example,
loan repayments, interest, sale of property and products, charges
for nonregulatory services, and rents and royalties). Such collections are not counted as budget receipts, and with one
exception, are offset against total budget authority and outlays
by agency and by function.6
• Intragovernmental transactions.—These are payments into receipt
accounts from other federally owned or administered accounts.
They are treated as an offset to budget authority and outlays,
rather than as a budget receipt. Intragovernmental transactions
may either be intrabudgetary (where the payment and receipt both
occur within the budgetary universe) or result from receipts from
of-budget Federal agencies in those cases where the payment comes
from a Federal agency whose funds are excluded from the budget
totals. Normally intragovernmental transactions are deducted
from both the outlays and the budget authority for. the agency
receiving the payment.7
Intrabudgetary transactions are further subdivided into three
groups: (1) interfund transactions, where the payment is from one
fund group (either Federal funds or trust funds) to the other fund
group; (2) Federal intrafund transactions, in those cases where the
payment and receipt both occur within the Federal fund group; and
(3) trust intrafund transactions, in those cases where the payment
and receipt both occur within the trust fund group.
• Receipts from rents and royalties from the Outer Continental Shelf lands are deducted from
tctal budget authority and outlays for the Government as a whole rather than any single agency
or function.
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
179
OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Borrowing and repayments.—Borrowing and debt repayment are
not treated as receipts or outlays, since if they were the budget could
be balanced simply by borrowing. This applies both to borrowing in
the form of public debt securities and to specialized forms of borrowing—such as the sale of agency securities, military family housing
mortgages, and certificates representing participation in a pool of
loans.
Exercise of the monetary power.—Seigniorage is the profit from
coining money; it is the difference between the value of coins as money
and their cost, including the cost of manufacturing. Seigniorage on
coins arises from the exercise of the Government's monetary powers
and differs from receipts coming from the public, since there is no
corresponding payment on the part of another party. Therefore,
seigniorage is excluded from receipts and treated as a means of financing a budget deficit, or as a supplementary amount to be applied
to reduce debt or to increase the cash in Treasury in the years of a
budget surplus. The increment (profit) resulting from the revaluation
of gold as a monetary asset is treated like seigniorage, but the profit
from sale of gold as a commodity is treated as a proprietary receipt.
Liabilities in deposit fund accounts.—Accounts outside the
budget, known as deposit funds, are established to record certain
amounts held in suspense temporarily, or held by the Government as
agent for others (for example, savings accounts for military personnel, State and local income taxes withheld from Federal employees' salaries, and payroll deductions for the purchase of savings bonds by
civilian employees of the Government). Such transactions affect Treasury's cash balances even though they are not a part of the budget.
Exchange of cash.—The Government's deposits with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are considered similar to cash assets.
Therefore, the movement of money between the IMF and the Treasury
Department is not in itself considered a receipt or an outlay, borrowing
or lending.
Obligations to international lending organizations.—Debt
instruments issued (in lieu of checks) in payment of subscriptions to
international lending organizations are not considered borrowing or
outlays, but remain a part of the obligated balances until they are
cashed, at which time they become outlays. These differ only in form,
and not in substance, from ordinary balances for unpaid obligations.
180
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977
BASIS FOR BUDGET FIGURES
In general.—Receipts and repayments reflect collections. Outlays
are stated in terms of checks issued, including cash paid in lieu of
checks. The accrual basis is generally used for interest on the public
debt. In the case of bonds and notes, where the interest expense of the
Government is reflected in periodic changes in redemption value, the
interest outlay is counted when the redemption value changes.
Data for 1975.—The 1975 column of this budget generally presents
the actual transactions and balances for that year, as recorded in
agency accounts and as summarized in the central financial reports
prepared by the Treasury Department.
Data for 1976 and the transition quarter, July 1,1976, through
September 30, 1976.—By now (January 1976) all regular appropriations acts for 1976 and the transition quarter have become law except
Foreign Assistance; Defense; Labor-Health, Education, and Welfare;
and the District of Columbia, for which continuing appropriations
have been provided. The amounts in the Budget for 1976 and the
transition quarter include budget authority actually made available
by the Congress in the case of enacted appropriations, the amounts
in the conference report on the unenacted Defense bill, and the amounts
in the President's 1976 budget, as amended, for projects and activities
to be funded in the Labor-Health, Education, and Welfare; Foreign
Assistance; and District of Columbia appropriation bills that are not
yet law. This budget proposes some amendments to these appropriations still pending before the Congress. Also some rescissions are
now pending before the Congress, and additional supplemental
appropriations will be required in certain cases. These supplemental
represent the amounts required for various pay raises including those
of October 1975 and the additional amounts requested to meet
previously unforeseen program costs.
Where the word "enacted" is used with reference to 1976 and the
transition quarter, as in tables 1 and 8 of Part 8 of the Budget, the
amount represents budget authority already voted by the Congress.
In the case of indefinite appropriations, the enacted sums include the
amounts likely to be required. Actions "pending" before the Congress
include unenacted appropriations and proposed rescissions, whether
included in regular or supplemental appropriation bills or awaiting
Congressional consideration for inclusion in a rescission bill. Where
the word "estimate" is used, the amounts may include pending appropriations, needed supplemental, and enacted budget authority.
Certain standard footnotes are used in Part 7 of the Budget (and are
explained at the end of that table) to specify the status of these
additional items for 1976 and the transition quarter.
THE BUDGET SYSTEM AND CONCEPTS
181
Data for 1977.—This budget is complete as to the estimates for
1977. Part I of the Budget Appendix generally includes the proposed
appropriation language for the various items identified in the budget.
However, in some instances, estimates are included in the budget
schedules without appropriation language for 1976 and 1977. For these,
the requested amounts may already be pending, proposed legislation
may be required and/or the estimated amounts will be requested later
when the requirements are known. In certain tables of the budget these
items for later transmittal and the related outlays are separately
identified. Estimates of the total requirements for 1976, the transition
quarter, and 1977 include both the amounts formally proposed and the
amounts planned for later transmittal.
Allowances.—Lump-sum allowances are included in the tables to
cover possible additional changes. The allowance for contingencies
is shown in two categories, as required by the Congressional Budget
Act. The estimates in the first category, " Relatively uncontrollable
programs," are zero because the probability of net decreases or net
increases for such programs is believed to be equal. The second category, "Other requirements," contains estimates for requirements now
not foreseen for existing programs and for the possible enactment of
legislation not specifically provided for in the budget. The allowance
for civilian agency pay raises includes an estimate of the additional
amounts that will be required for pay raises anticipated in October
1976 for employees of civilian Government agencies. A separate
allowance for pay raises is shown for the military and civilian employees
of the Department of Defense and is included in its figures. These
increases could not be reflected in the various program appropriation
requests since the applicable detailed amounts have not yet been determined.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This tabulation contains information on budget authority
(BA) and outlays (O) for each appropriation and fund account. The budget authority in this tabulation takes account
of certain transfers between appropriations. All budget authority items are current and definite appropriations except
where otherwise indicated.
Functional code numbers are shown for each account as
a cross reference to tables 14 and 15 (pp. 330-353), where the
figures are summarized by functional classification. Types of
funds in the budget and the deduct entries at the end of each
chapter of this tabulation are explained in Part 6 (pp. 174-178).
Congressional action in the appropriation process occasionally takes the form of a limitation on the use of a trust
fund or other fund, or of an appropriation to liquidate contract
authority. Amounts for such items, which do not affect budget
authority, are included here in parentheses and identified in
the stub column, but are not included in the totals.

PART 8
SUMMARY TABLES
309
EXPLANATORY NOTE RELATING TO THE
SUMMARY TABLES
Types of tables.—This part of the budget consists of tables
as follows:
• Tables 1 through 11 are short summary tables of the
budget, often only one page each.
• Tables 12 through 15 provide greater detail in support
of data in the first four tables.
• Table 17 presents 5-year projections of the estimated
costs of proposed legislation pursuant to section 221 (a)
of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970.
• Table 16 and tables 18 through 22 are historical in
nature, giving data, for earlier years, comparable to
that data in the preceding tables, and also giving information on the national income accounts and the
gross national product over a longer period.
Periods covered.—Due to the change in fiscal year required by
the Congressional Budget Control Act, the following periods
are covered by the various columns:
• July 1 through June 30, for the 1975 and 1976 columns.
• July 1 through September 30, 1976, for the TQ column.
• October 1 through September 30, for the 1977 and subsequent columns.
Concepts followed.—The concepts used in the current and
historical tables are discussed in Part 6 of this volume.
Other sources of data.—The Special Analyses volume, part
1, presents a series of data covering Government finances
and operations as a whole. These include, for example:
• Special Analysis A—which compares budget totals with
the Federal sector of the national income accounts.
• Special Analysis B—which provides a breakdown of
selected data between Federal funds and trust funds.
• Special Analysis C—which gives the detail of the agency
debt and the holdings of U.S. securities which are summarized here in table 11.
• Special Analysis D—which focuses on the distinction
between outlays that are of an investment or "capital"
nature and outlays for operating or "current" purposes.
• Special Analysis H—which presents information on
civilian employment in the executive branch.
