Pursuant to the provisions of 31 U. S. C. 11 and other
applicable laws, the budget for the fiscal year 1957 con
tains the President’s recommendations for the work pro
gram and financial program of the Government for the
12 months beginning July 1, 1956, and ending June 30,
1957. It also presents comparable information for the
fiscal years 1955 (actual) and 1956 (partly actual and
partly estimated).
The material in the budget covers both groups of funds
administered by agencies of the Government—Federal
funds (owned by the Government), and trust and deposit
funds (held in trust or in suspense by the Government),
although only the Federal funds are included in the
computation of the budget surplus or deficit.
ARRANGEMENT OF THE BUDGET
The budget document consists of the President’s
budget message and four parts which contain summary
tables, detailed data, and special analyses.
In the budget message (pp. m4 through m79), appear
the general statement of the President’s financial program
and an outline of his major recommendations. The budget
message includes three major summary tables.
Part I of the document (pp. Al through a13) contains
seven summary tables on Federal funds and on the pub
lic debt. Each of these tables is designed to bring together
in 1 or 2 pages some overall aspect of the Federal
budget.
Part II (pp. 1 through 1011) contains the detail of the
budget for Federal funds, including various types of tables
and schedules, explanatory statements of the work to be
performed and the money needed, and the text of the
language proposed for enactment by Congress on each
item of authorization. This part also includes material
on funds of the municipal government of the District of
Columbia, and a few other trust funds which require
congressional action. It is arranged in chapters reflecting
the organization of the Government.
Part III (pp. 1013 through 1079) contains summary
tables on trust funds, and detailed schedules and explana
tory statements on the various trust funds.
Part IV (pp. 1081 through 1166) contains special
analyses of budget data and Federal programs. These
analyses supplement material appearing in other parts of
the budget. Some of these give details for certain sum
mary figures appearing in part I—for example, a classifi
cation of budget receipts by source, and a classification of
budget expenditures according to functions and subfunc
tions. Several of the other special analyses in part IV
contain materials which present different groupings or
classifications of data.
An appendix, printed separately, contains more detailed
information on personal services by grade and title.
explanatory statements
Introductory statements at the beginning of each part
give further explanations as follows:
Pages a2- a3—Types of funds and budget authoriza
tions; basis of stating receipts and expenditures; concept
of budget surplus or deficit.
Pages 3-5—Format of material printed for each agency
and each account in part II.
Page 1014—Operation of trust and deposit funds covered
by part III.
Page 1082—Coverage of the special analyses printed in
part IV.
Detail will not necessarily add to totals, because of rounding.

To the Congress oj the United States:
I send you today the Budget of the United States Government for
the fiscal year 1957 which begins July 1, 1956. This budget also in
cludes the fiscal results of all Government operations for the year
ended June 30, 1955, and revised estimates for the current fiscal year
ending June 30, 1956.

The budget I am proposing for 1957 is a balanced budget. It is
my expectation that the budget wall also be in balance for the fiscal
year 1956.
Although balanced, the margin of estimated surplus in each of these
budgets is slim. This calls for the utmost cooperation between the
executive and legislative branches to prevent increases in expenditures
or reductions in receipts that would create a deficit.
The present encouraging budgetary outlook arises from a favorable
combination of factors involving both receipts and expenditures.
Substantial reductions in Government expenditures have been
achieved in the past 3 years. A significant increase in revenues is
currently anticipated as the result of our present unprecedented
prosperity.
In the achievement of this prosperity, the historic
7.4-billion-dollar tax reduction and reform program of 1954—so advis
able during the transition to a peacetime economy then taking
place—and the confidence born of prudent fiscal and credit man
agement have been strong energizing factors.
Budget expenditures in the fiscal year 1956 are now estimated at
64.3 billion dollars. This is a reduction in Government spending for
the third successive year. It is a decrease of 10 billion dollars from
the amount actually spent by the Federal Government in the fiscal
year which began July 1, 1952. It is a cut of 13.6 billion dollars from
the amount proposed in the budget for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1953, submitted to the Congress in January of 1953 before
this administration took office.
For the fiscal year 1957, total expenditures are estimated to rise
approximately 1.6 billion dollars over the anticipated level for 1956.
m

M ESSAGE
OF
TH E
P R E S ID E N T
This increase will be more than offset by the rise in receipts estimated
to result from continued growth in the national economy. Efforts to
obtain additional economies in Government operations must continue,
for the balance achieved in the budget for 1957 is a balance at a high
level of receipts and expenditures. The search for additional savings
that can be effected while strengthening our security posture and pro
viding essential Government services must be relentless.
We will take full advantage of the proposals of the Commission
on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government, which
has completed with high distinction the task of analyzing the ac
tivities of the Government. We will continue to give the taxpayer
greater and greater value for each dollar spent. We will continue to
foster orderly growth of our economy through sound fiscal policies.
The confidence in the future among consumers and businessmen gen
erated by those policies must be maintained.
BUDGET POLICIES
We seek, above all, the attainment of a just and durable peace,
Thus, the resources of the world can be directed to building a better
life for all people. The people of the Soviet Union and of the countries
under its domination are undoubtedly as anxious as the people of
other nations to achieve this objective. I regret that the Soviet
leaders have not as yet given any tangible evidence of an intention
to agree on a plan of disarmament that can be verified by adequate
inspection. In the absence of such tangible evidence, we must follow
the course reflected in this budget of steadily strengthening the defense
of the United States and its allies, so that the free world will remain
strong enough to deter possible aggressors or to retaliate immediately
and effectively if attacked.
At the same time, the Government of the United States will stead
fastly seek all possible ways of further progress toward our goal of
peace. We will speed the development of the civilian uses of atomic
energy and make the resulting benefits available, under appropriate
controls, to other nations for the well-being of mankind. We will
propose logical methods for advancing disarmament. We will pro
mote international trade and investment. We will not falter in our
cooperative efforts to build the economic, as well as defensive, strength
of the free world through the Mutual Security Program.
At home, programs instituted by the Executive and the Congress
have helped to nurture an unprecedented prosperity without inflation.
Our objective is to foster and encourage conditions in which this
prosperity can be sustained and can be more fully shared by agricul
ture and certain sectors of our industrial economy. The growth and
movement of our population and the complexity of our dynamic
society are continually creating needs which must be met if we are to
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
build wisely for the future. For years, many activities which are
desirable for fostering sound economic growth have been postponed
because of the overriding needs of war and defense.
Defense needs are still overriding and must continue to be met in
full measure. However, budget revenues now permit us to undertake
some new and expanded programs for enhancing opportunities for
human well-being and economic growth. This budget reflects that
purpose.
These two national objectives of securing a lasting peace and of
sustaining widespread prosperity and well-being are closely linked to
our third goal of financial strength and stability.
In the words of Washington’s farewell address, we must meet our
defense needs by maintaining a respectable posture of defense. There
is no magic number of dollars or of military units and weapons that
would solve all our defense problems and guarantee our national
security. Neither can total mobilization in peacetime be the answer
to our defense needs. It is essential to have a stable, long-range
defense program suited to our needs which avoids fluctuations in
response to transitory pressures.
W e are equally well aware that overenthusiastic and ill-considered
Government efforts to promote economic development could lead to
inflation, and could also choke off private initiative, which is the wellspring of economic development and of a better life. Inflation would
bring suffering to the very groups whose well-being the Government
would be trying to serve.
W ith a sense of proportion and with a sound progressive policy,
we can continue our sure advance toward our objectives. The results
to date of sound financial management so demonstrate. While con
tinuing substantial expenditures for military defense and mutual
security, with some increases where needed, we can now propose the
expansion of certain domestic programs, and, at the same time,
strengthen our financial position by a balanced budget. But we
must make sure that we do not undermine our financial strength by
laying the groundwork for future budget deficits.
BUDGET DOCUMENT
A budget is not just a book of figures describing fiscal operations—
it is a comprehensive plan of action for meeting our national objec
tives. As such, it affects every phase of the life and activity of the
Nation. It is necessarily complex. Like the plans for a building,
the budget must be sketched from various points of view to give a
clear idea of its content and composition. Accordingly, despite some
repetition, the various items in the budget are classified and grouped
in different ways to help in the analysis of their overall significance.
M E S S A G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
In this section of the budget message, I shall summarize budget
expenditures in terms of a few broad purposes and also in terms of
their controllability through the budget process. Following this dis
cussion, there are two summary tables setting forth budget expendi
tures and new obligational authority by m ajor programs and by
Government agencies. These tables are followed in the message b y a
discussion of m y recommendations for each of the major programs of
the Government.
The detailed part of the budget document which follows the mes
sage contains four parts: (1) Additional summary tables; (2) detailed
appropriation accounts for each agency; (3) information on trust
funds and working funds; and (4) a number of special analyses which
throw light on the budget from still different viewpoints. These
analyses show, for example, the expenditures for Federal credit pro
grams, public works, aid to State and local governments, research,
and economic statistics, all of which are common to many programs
and agencies.
The detailed schedules and statements of the budget have been
simplified this year to make them more useful to the Congress in
general and to the appropriations committees in particular. This
simplification has also resulted in reducing the size of the budget
document 50 pages and the appendix a further 175 pages.

of the expenditures in the fiscal year 1957 will be for deterring possible
aggression and for strengthening the international alliances to which
we belong. The next largest part, 21 percent, will be devoted to
civil benefits of various kinds. Interest, largely on the public debt,
will amount to nearly 11 percent. Expenditures for civil operations
and administration are estimated at 4 percent of the total. Further
details of expenditures by broad purposes can be found in special
analysis E on pages 1119 to 1121 of the budget document.

Protection, including collective security.— In this summary classifica
tion of broad purposes, expenditures for protection include more than
the four m ajor national security programs. They embrace the mili
tary functions of the Department of Defense, including construction
and procurement; the Mutual Security Program; the Atom ic Energy
Commission; and other programs such as stockpiling, expansion
of defense production, civil defense, and our foreign information
activities.

b y a campaign of smiles without deeds. W e continue to maintain
and to strengthen our national security forces.
This budget provides for increased expenditures for the military
functions of the Department of Defense, emphasizing air-atomic
power, guided missiles, research and development, continental defense,
and the re-equipping of our forces with new types of weapons. Out
lays for conventional weapons and for stockpiling will be decreased.
Under the M utual Security Program, budget expenditures in 1957 for
military assistance and for economic and technical assistance are
estimated at about the same level as in the fiscal years 1955 and 1956.
Expenditures for atomic energy, including peaceful applications, will
rise in 1957 to a somewhat higher total than for any previous year.
I am also recommending an expansion of our foreign information
activities so that we can more successfully advance understanding
abroad of our policies and their peaceful intent.
Civil benefits.— A great variety of Government programs provide
civil benefits and services for the Nation as a whole and for specific
groups. They encourage the private development and growth of our
econom y and provide certain economic safeguards for individuals
and groups in order that our dynamic system of free choice m ay
operate effectively in the modern world.
Some of these benefits and services are in the form of public works
or loans which add to Federal assets. Expenditures for long-range
development, such as those for health research and for grants to
States for construction, also lay the foundation for future economic
progress and development. However, the bulk of the benefits and
services are for current expenses, including veterans’ benefits; aids to
agriculture; aids and subsidies to shipping, airlines, and the postal
service; and grants to States for public assistance and administration
of employment offices and unemployment insurance.

M y recommendations for the fiscal year 1957 under this heading of
civil benefits are designed to build for the future by assisting further
in the strengthening of agriculture; in the promoting of labor stand
ards; in the building of schools; in the expansion of research and
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
training in science, health, and agriculture; in the modernization of
our highways; in the improvement of housing and urban facilities; in
the enlargement of our airway traffic capacity; in the replacement of
our merchant fleet; and in the conservation of our natural resources.
The estimated expenditure for each of the civil benefits and services
(shown in detail on p. 1120) represents the best judgment of this
administration of what is required and can be used effectively during
the coming year to meet our growing needs.
In discharging the responsibility for fostering a growing prosperity
that is widely shared, I have been mindful of two principles.
First, we will progress fastest b y relying on private initiative as
the mainspring for economic growth and a better life for all. In
encouraging economic growth, the Government should act on the
basis of enabling private activity to expand and not on a basis of
replacing private with public activity. M y recommendations, there
fore, are designed to encourage private initiative and to contribute
toward, or, in some cases, to undertake tasks which private enterprise
cannot perform alone.
Second, the interests of our citizens are best advanced by encour
aging State and local governments to strengthen themselves and thus
keep as much Government responsibility as possible in the States and
communities, close to the people themselves. The Federal actions
which I am proposing are designed to meet real and pressing needs
which most smaller governmental units cannot cope with by them
selves. Our endeavor is to help fill the gap between the need for
essential services, on the one hand, and the present ability of State
and local governments to meet those needs, on the other. Wherever
possible and logical, I propose that responsibility and costs be shared
by these other governmental units.
A corollary of these two principles is that where Federal action is
necessary, it should be taken, if possible, in a way that need not entail
large or continuing Federal outlays. For some activities, Federal
guaranties will encourage the availability of private credit. For other
activities, partnership with private or State and local government
interests will multiply the effectiveness of Federal expenditures.
M any services performed and privileges granted by the Govern
ment in the public interest also convey a special, added benefit to
individuals or groups who can afford to pay for them. In some cases,
the services are now provided without charge. In other cases, the
fees are substantially below the costs of providing the services. Thus,
the general taxpayer is required to subsidize operations which should
be self-supporting. The scope and cost of these hidden subsidies
have grown considerably during the past decades. I firmly believe
in the principle that Government services which give a special benefit
to users should be financed by adequate charges paid by the users.
M il
Ml2
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
In furtherance of this principle, I strongly recommend that the
Congress enact legislation to increase postal rates so that users are
no longer subsidized from general funds.
Civil operations and administration.— Budget items for civil opera
tions and administration are predominantly the traditional ex
penses of the Government. They are the largest in number but not
the largest in amount. They cover the bulk of the expenditures for
the legislative branch, the judiciary, and various regulatory activities,
as well as the administrative expenses of many cabinet departments
and independent agencies. They also include expenses for tax col
lection and various central management services.
These programs have a greater significance than their small propor
tion of the total budget would indicate. I am recommending selective
increases in appropriations and expenditures for a number of them.
For example, we should increase our representation abroad— par
ticularly in a number of countries with which our relations are becom
ing increasingly vital. A strengthening of our foreign relations will
pay dividends in terms of better mutual understanding and friendship.
Likewise, m y proposals for reducing the backlogs of cases pending in
our Federal courts and before our regulatory commissions will bring
benefits greater than their costs. Increased funds for central property
and records management will enable us to achieve greater economies
in carrying out the other activities of our Government.
Expenditures by controllability.— Another way of looking at and
grouping budget expenditures is from the point of view of their conB U D G E T EXP EN D ITU R ES IN D IC A T IN G C O N T R O L L A B IL IT Y

trollability through the budget process. Each year when a budget is
being determined, a large amount cannot be substantially modified by
actions of the executive branch or of the Congress through the appro
priations process but only by longer term review and action. In the
fiscal year 1957, about one-quarter of the estimated budget expendi
tures are dictated b y factors not readily subject to administrative
discretion through the budget process.
Interest is the largest example of such an expenditure. M ost of
the other relatively uncontrollable programs, such as agricultural
price supports, veterans’ compensation and pensions, and various
grants to States, are in the field of civil benefits as classified in the
previous section.

NEW AUTHORITY TO INCUR OBLIGATIONS
Before any budget expenditures can be made, the Congress must
first authorize Federal agencies to incur obligations. This authority,
ordinarily provided in the form of appropriations, may or may not
lead to the immediate expenditure of funds. In the case of salaries
and the purchase of supplies, the expenditure will ordinarily follow
closely the incurring of the obligation. For other items such as ships,
m14
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
aircraft, and complex military equipment, the expenditure may follow
the incurring of the obligation by several years.
Unexpended balances of appropriations carried over from prior
years ran to nearly 80 billion dollars when this administration took
office and represented an enormous backlog of commitments for which
expenditures had to be made in the fiscal year 1954 and subsequent
years. These balances represented, in effect, c. o. d. orders which
had to be paid for in cash when the goods were delivered and con
stituted a heavy overhanging load for the budget on top of the appro
priations being enacted currently.
B y the end of fiscal year 1956 we expect to have reduced these
balances by well over a third, to below 50 billion dollars, a level
believed more reasonable in its relation to actual needs for current
operations.
F or the fiscal year 1957, requested new authority to incur obliga
tions is about the same as estimated budget receipts and slightly
greater than estimated expenditures. However, the backlog of un
expended balances of appropriations will be further reduced as some
appropriations enacted in prior years will be allowed to lapse. This
continues the policy of the two previous budgets I sent to the Congress,
in which I emphasized the importance of actions to eliminate excessive
accumulations of unexpended balances, which so frequently invite
commitments leading to unnecessary future expenditures.
Of the total new authority I am recommending for the fiscal year
1957, action by this session of the Congress will be required for 58.3
billion dollars. The remainder consists of previously enacted perma
nent authorizations under which new authority becomes available
each year without new action by the Congress. An example is
interest on the public debt.

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
I have outlined in m y message on the State of the Union the legis
lative proposals which I consider vital to our continued progress.
Detailed recommendations will be presented to the Congress on certain
of these proposals. The budgetary estimates for the fiscal year 1957
for m y legislative proposals are summarized in the table below.
These estimates cover only the proposals for which financial au
thorizations cannot be enacted prior to enactment of enabling legisla
tion. Often they supplement programs for which expenditures are
included elsewhere in the budget. For example, the amounts shown
in the following table for m y proposals for strengthening agriculture
are only part of the total in the budget for agricultural programs.
Pending final determination of the amounts required for the recom
mended program for highways, the dollar estimates included in this
budget under proposed legislation cover only the continuance of the
present annual authorization. The new highway program should be
soundly financed so as not to create budget deficits.

BUDGET RECEIPTS AND TAX POLICY
I have already indicated in m y State of the Union message the
broad outlines of our tax policies. I shall summarize them here.
W e have noted that in 1954 reductions in spending made possible—
and appropriate in the existing circumstances of transition to a peace
time economy— the largest dollar tax cut in any year in our history.
Alm ost 7y2 billion dollars were cut from the sums required of the tax
payers and every taxpayer in the country benefited. Almost twothirds of the savings went directly to individuals. This tax cut also
helped to build up the economy, to make jobs in industry, and to
increase the production of the many things desired to improve the
scale of living for the great m ajority of Americans.
The strong expansion of the economy, coupled with a constant care
for efficiency in Government operations and an alert guard against
controllable waste and duplication; has brought us to a prospective
balance between income and expenditure. This is being achieved
while we continue to strengthen the military security forces and
enlarge services to the public.
T o reach a balanced budget in the fiscal year 1956 and in the fiscal
year 1957, it will be necessary in addition to continuing everyday
efforts to keep spending under control, to continue all the present
excise taxes without any reduction and the corporation income taxes
at their present rates for another year beyond April 1, 1956.
Based on the extension of these tax rates, budget receipts in the fiscal
year 1957 are estimated at 66.3 billion dollars, 1.8 billion dollars
higher than in the current year.

It is unquestionably true that our present tax level is very burden
some and, in the interest of long term and continuous economic
growth, should be reduced when we prudently can. It is essential,
in the sound management of the Government’s finances, that we be
mindful of our enormous national debt and of the obligation we have
toward future Americans to reduce that debt whenever we can appro-

priately do so. Under conditions of high peacetime prosperity, such
as now exist, we can never justify going further into debt to give
ourselves a tax cut at the expense of our children. So, in the present
state of our financial affairs, I earnestly believe that a tax cut can
be deemed justifiable only when it will not unbalance the budget, a
budget w^hich makes provision for some reduction, even though
modest, in our national debt. In this way we can best maintain fiscal
integrity.
PUBLIC DEBT
On the basis of present estimates, we should be able to end the
current fiscal year with a small reduction in the public debt, and a
small further reduction is anticipated for the fiscal year 1957.

securities become due and refinancing must be arranged. In the
past several years, the Treasury has cooperated closely with the
Federal Reserve System to assure that the management of the debt
is consistent with our general monetary and credit policies. These
actions have helped sustain a sound and growing business activity
without inflation or deflation.
The Treasury has also taken steps toward lengthening the average
m aturity of the debt so as to avoid its becoming concentrated too
heavily in short-term issues. Further, the number of financing oper
ations each year has been reduced. These actions lessen the impact
of Treasury financing on the market, and give the Federal Reserve
System greater freedom in its operations.

Last year the Congress extended through June 1956 a temporary
increase during the fiscal year in the statutory debt limit from 275
billion dollars to 281 billion dollars, so that the Treasury could meet
its heavy temporary borrowing needs during the first half of the fiscal
year 1956, when tax receipts are seasonally low. The Treasury is
currently operating within 1 billion dollars of the temporary debt
ceiling, and on cash balances that at some periods offer little flexibility
in the management of Government finances. Even with a balanced
budget in 1956 and 1957, seasonal borrowing in the first half of fiscal
year 1957 will temporarily bring the debt above the 275 billion dollar
limit. Therefore, a continuation of the legislation allowing a tem po
rary increase during the year in the statutory debt limit is required.
RE C E IPTS F R O M AND PA Y M E N T S TO TH E PUBLIC
The budget receipts and expenditures discussed so far reflect trans
actions in funds belonging to the Federal Government. The G overn
ment also collects and pays out sizable sums for the various funds
which it holds in trust for others, such as old-age and survivors

These trust funds are currently accumulating surpluses because
payments into them are being made by a great many more people
than are now drawing benefits. The rate of accumulation is gradually
declining as more people become eligible for benefits, but will still
amount to an estimated 1.8 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
The flow of money between the public and the Government as
a whole is shown in the table below by consolidating budget trans
actions with trust fund transactions and by eliminating intragov
ernmental payments and receipts. The relationship of receipts
from and payments to the public is sometimes used to measure
the inflationary or deflationary impact, if any, of Government finan
cial operations on the economy. M ore detail on this consolidation
can be found in special analysis A, pages 1083 to 1085 of this budget.

MAJOR NATIONAL SECURITY
Budget expenditures for major national security programs in the
fiscal year 1957 are estimated at 40.4 billion dollars, 903 million
dollars more than estimated for the fiscal year 1956.
T o build our military strength effectively and efficiently, peaks and
valleys in security spending and in defense production must be avoided.
I want to emphasize again the importance of a sound, long-range pro
gram which does not arbitrarily assume a fixed date of maximum
danger. M ilitary planning must combine present defense with the
probable needs of a long period of uncertain peace.

M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
Department oj Dejense.— During the past 3 years our defense program
has been successfully reoriented to reflect the changing nature of the
threat to our security, the revised requirements brought about by the
end of the Korean conflict, and the increasing availability of new
weapons of unprecedented strategic and tactical importance.
This reorientation has been accomplished by developing our defense
program on the basis of the following policies and concepts:
1. Gearing our defense preparations to a long period of uncertainty
instead of to a succession of arbitrarily assumed dates of maximum
danger.
2. Maintaining the capability to deter a potential aggressor from
attack and to blunt that attack if it comes— by a combination of
immediate retaliatory power and a continental defense system of
steadily increasing effectiveness.
3. Developing military forces which minimize numbers of men by
making maximum use of science and technology.
4. Relating the number and degree of readiness of major units in the
active forces to the practical limitations on the rapid deployment of
major military forces from the United States immediately upon the
outbreak of aggression, and relying, for the remainder, on ready
reserve forces.
5. Utilizing military personnel on active duty with maximum effec
tiveness so as to hold to a minimum the number of men withdrawn
from work in the civilian economy.
6. Concentrating our efforts on those forces which best complement
the forces our allies are most capable of raising and supporting.
7. Maintaining a strong and expanding peacetime industrial struc
ture, readily convertible to the tasks of defense and war.
The readjustment of our military forces in line with these principles
is providing this Nation w^ith the greatest military power in its peace
time history. M y recommendations for the fiscal year 1957 continue
the same basic policies and concepts.
This budget provides funds for an average of 2,815,700 military
personnel on active duty during the fiscal year 1957. Total military
personnel on active duty will increase to 2,838,400 at the end of
fiscal year 1957 from the number of 2,814,100 estimated to be on
active duty at the end of the current fiscal year. In order to permit
flexibility in planning and operations, a military personnel ceiling
has been authorized for the fiscal year 1957, totaling 2,906,000,
excluding Arm y cadets, N avy aviation cadets, and midshipmen.
However, no increase will be made above the military personnel
levels provided for in this budget except upon detailed justification
to, and approval by the Secretary of Defense.
During the fiscal year 1957 there will be significant increases in
certain combat elements, particularly units employing new weapons
m23
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
and units assigned to continental defense. These increases, together
with the continued modernization of the weapons and equipment,
will further enhance the combat power and effectiveness of our forces.
M y recommendations for the military functions of the Department
of Defense for the fiscal year 1957 will require congressional authori
zations amounting in total to 35.7 billion dollars. Of this amount, it
is proposed that 785 million dollars be provided by transfer of existing
authority from revolving funds. Thus, the new authority proposed
for 1957 is 34.9 billion dollars, which is 1.8 billion dollars more than
the amount voted by the Congress for the current fiscal year. E x
penditures are expected to total 35.5 billion dollars, compared with
a present estimate of 34.6 billion dollars for the current fiscal year.
The increases in new authority to incur obligations and in expendi
tures in the fiscal year 1957 reflect, in large part, the cost of keeping
our forces modern.
Continued improvements in technology and weapons can be ex
pected and they will tend to increase costs unless offsetting savings
can be found. Replacement, maintenance, and operations will re
quire a high level of expenditures in the fiscal year 1957 and for years
to come. Therefore, the management of our military programs must
have continuing study and scrutiny. Constant efforts must be made
to plan carefully in advance, to increase efficiency, and to reduce costs
and expenditures.

M ilitary personnel costs for the active forces, which include pay,
allowances, subsistence, clothing, and related items, will be the same
in the fiscal year 1957 as in 1956.
Retention of trained and experienced personnel is one of the most
difficult problems confronting the armed services today. Every
reasonable measure must be taken to increase the attractiveness of a
service career. Therefore, I am again recommending legislation to
provide added incentives for the members of our Armed Forces. M y
principal proposals are for the uniform provision of medical care for
dependents, adequate and equitable benefits for survivors, improved
career inducements for medical personnel, and reasonable rentals for
those occupying substandard Government quarters. This budget also
provides for a proposed increase in the proportion of career officers to
total officer personnel.
The cost of operation and maintenance will rise in the fiscal year
1957, notwithstanding a decrease in the number of civilian personnel.
M ajor reasons for the higher costs are (1) the greater number of air
bases, radar sites, and other installations which must be supported
in the coming fiscal year, (2) the sizable increase in the numbers of
weapons and amount of equipment which must be operated and main
tained, and (3) the growing complexity of new weapons and equip
ment.
M ajor procurement and production expenditures in the fiscal year
1957 will be about the same as in the current fiscal year. However,
there will be a shift in emphasis within this total in line with the
policy of modernizing our forces.
Approximately 6.8 billion dollars is estimated for procurement of
aircraft, chiefly for the Air Force and the Navy. The accelerated
production programs for the B -5 2 long-range jet bomber and the
F-101 and F -104 supersonic interceptors will be continued in the
fiscal year 1957* In addition, there will be substantial procurement
of the N a vy ’s new supersonic F -8 U fighter.
Expenditures for the procurement of guided missiles will be the
highest in our history, increasing by more than one-third over 1956
and about double the amount spent for this purpose during 1955.
Expenditures for electronic and communications equipment will
remain high during the fiscal year 1957, to meet the needs for conti
nental defense and our combat forces. Expenditures for ammunition,
com bat vehicles, trucks, and other major equipment items, will con
tinue to decline because our requirements have now been met in large
part.
This budget provides for continuation of the N avy shipbuilding
program at a slightly higher level than in the fiscal year 1956 in order
to carry forward the modernization of the fleet, most of which was
m 25
m26
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
built during W orld W ar II. In addition to those already authorized
b y the Congress, there is included in the proposed shipbuilding pro
gram for 1957 the construction of a sixth carrier of the Forrestal class,
additional nuclear-powered submarines, guided-missile destroyers
and frigates, and an experimental nuclear-powered cruiser. Provision
is also made for developing a practical nuclear powerplant for future
installation in ships of the large carrier class. Conversion of ships
now in the fleet will be undertaken to provide them with additional
nuclear weapons and with guided missile capabilities, and to permit
them to operate modern high-speed aircraft.
M ilitary public works will continue slightly below the level of the
current year. This budget provides for the construction in the fiscal
year 1957 of facilities associated with the continental air defense
system, including Nike sites; further additions to the aircraft warning
systems, including the Distant Early Warning Line; guided missile
facilities; and air bases for the N avy and Air Force.
Expenditures for our Reserve components in the fiscal year 1957 will
be considerably greater than in 1956, reflecting an increase during
the year of about 130,000 reservists in drill pay status and further
expansion of facilities for the Reserve forces. The number of Reserve
personnel engaged in regularly paid drills is expected to increase to 1.1
million b y the end of 1957. In addition, this budget provides for 6
m onths’ active duty training under the Reserve Forces A ct of 1955
for about 80,000 Reserve forces personnel.
Research and development expenditures will be somewhat higher
in the fiscal year 1957 than in the current year. M ajor emphasis will
be placed on projects related to guided missiles, continental air defense,
and to the application of nuclear energy for the propulsion of air
craft and ships. It is m y belief that increased returns in military
research and development can be obtained through a relatively stable
program at approximately the present level which can utilize effec
tively our scientific and technological resources. M ilitary research
and development now engages a substantial proportion of the scientists
and engineers employed in research and development in the Nation.
Care must be exercised in selecting the projects to be supported, and
efforts must be concentrated on those of high priority.
Continued progress has been made during the past year in improving
the management of the Department of Defense. The Secretary of
Defense is giving careful study to the recommendations of the Commis
sion on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government and
its task forces on defense activities. Some of these recommendations
have already been put into effect; in certain other cases, they have
been adopted in modified form, consistent with the objectives of the
Commission report. Responsibility for supplying all food, which
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
costs 1.2 billion dollars annually, has been placed under the Secretary
of the Army. A single food-supply system for bulk procurement and
storage will eliminate duplicate storage facilities and costly crosshauling. The three military departments have also been directed to
undertake joint planning and utilization of all the health and medical
resources of the Department of Defense.
Financial management has been made more effective b y increasing
the scope of stock funds. These funds currently cover inventories of
over 8.2 billion dollars, and their coverage will be expanded. Stock
funds are used to buy supplies and equipment, and to control in
ventories centrally. Each of the services then meets its needs by
purchasing from this central stock. This method makes possible a
better distribution of supplies and equipment with a minimum
inventory. It encourages cost consciousness throughout each of the
services. As a result, in the last 3 fiscal years 2.5 billion dollars
have been recovered from the stock funds as inventories were re
duced. Further reductions in inventories this year will make avail
able additional surplus capital of 785 million dollars in the Army,
Navy, and Marine Corps stock funds. This surplus is applied in
this budget to reduce the amount of new authority to incur obligations
which would otherwise be required for the fiscal year 1957.
Industrial funds are being used to serve the same kind of businesslike
purpose in commercial- and industrial-type installations. During the
fiscal year 1957 industrial fund financing will be extended to additional
activities in each of the services. This will greatly increase the
volume of business, currently amounting to about 1.8 billion dollars,
conducted under such funds.
Civil defense.— The key to our civil defense is the expanded conti
nental defense program, including the distant early warning system.
Additional progress has been made in the civil defense program under
the Federal Civil Defense Administration, whose expenditures are
classified with those for civil disasters in the commerce and housing sec
tion of the budget. Comprehensive studies are being conducted
jointly by the Federal Civil Defense Administration, the States, and
critical target cities to determine the best procedures that can be
adopted in case of an atomic attack. Such planning has vital national
importance and parallels the necessity for maintaining a strong
military establishment.
This budget provides for a strengthened effort on the part of the
Federal Government to assist the States and cities in devising the
most effective common defense. It includes funds to extend civil
defense preparations in more metropolitan target zones in accordance
with recent recommendations of a special committee on civil defense.
M27
m 28
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
Funds also are included to accelerate procurement of field-type
emergency hospitals and increase stockpiles of medical and radiolog
ical supplies.
Development and control oj atomic energy.— W e have long sought
and we continue to seek, jointly with other nations, means to banish
the threat of nuclear warfare which still confronts the world. Pending
a trustworthy agreement, however, we must continue to increase our
nuclear weapons stockpile which, together with the means of delivery,
is the principal deterrent to armed aggression in the world. A t the
same time, we shall speed the development of the peaceful uses of
atomic energy and make the resulting benefits, under appropriate
controls, available to other nations for the well-being of all mankind.
T o this end we continue to hope that an international atomic energy
agency will be established at an early date.
The United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of A tom ic
Energy at Geneva last summer, which grew out of a proposal b y the
United States, not only facilitated the exchange of technical informa
tion but served to emphasize the great promise of atomic energy
for peace.
So that we m ay further demonstrate this great promise, I recom
mend again that the Congress take early action to authorize the
construction of a nuclear-powered ship, using an atomic propulsion
plant already developed, which will carry the message of “ Atom s for
Peace” to the ports of the world. The Atom ic Energy^Commission
has sufficient funds available for construction and installation of
the propulsion plant and machinery, and I shall request additional
funds for the fiscal year 1956 for the Department of Commerce for
construction of a suitable hull.
Total expenditures for atomic energy in 1957 are estimated at 1.9
billion dollars, 230 million dollars more than in 1956.
Operating expenditures will increase from 1.4 billion dollars in the
fiscal year 1956 to 1.6 billion dollars in 1957. Greater quantities of
uranium ores and concentrates will be purchased. Production from
the Commission’s plants will increase but at reduced unit costs as the
expanded facilities, soon to be completed, come into full operation.
Research and development work in numerous areas, both civilian
and military, will be expanded.
Capital expenditures in the fiscal year 1957 are expected to decline
somewhat from 1956 levels. I shall propose to the Congress legisla
tion to authorize new construction in 1957, principally for improve
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
ments to increase the efficiency, capacity, and safety of production
plants and for research and development facilities.
The civilian applications of nuclear energy will receive even greater
attention, not only in terms of Government expenditures, but also
through the Commission’s efforts to stimulate more participation and
investment by private and public groups, particularly in the develop
ment of atomic power. As such participation increases, the share of
power development costs financed b y the Government should decrease.
As part of its encouragement of the development of atomic power, the
Commission plans in 1957 to continue specialized training of nuclear
engineers and to expand its support of the training of nuclear en
gineers through fellowships and through provision of specialized train
ing equipment to a number of universities. The Commission will also
construct a special reactor for use by the Department of Defense in
developing methods for preserving food through irradiation.
Great emphasis is being placed on the development of a larger
variety of nuclear propulsion plants. T o this end, funds are included
under proposed legislation for additional developmental facilities at
the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho.
The Atom ic Energy Commission will also step up research on con
trolled thermonuclear reactions as new discoveries may justify. This
program, while long range, gives promise of yet greater dimensions to
the potential peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Continuing progress in basic research is fundamental to further
advances in nuclear energy. The Commission will increase in the
fiscal year 1957 its support of basic research in the physical and life
sciences, including development and design studies of high-energy
particle accelerators. The 1957 construction program will include
new buildings at three of the Commission’s laboratories.
Stockpiling and dejense production expansion.— As a result of the
financial assistance provided under the Defense Production Act,
substantially increased supplies of aluminum, copper, nickel, and other
strategic materials are now available both for industry and for the
national stockpile. T o assure continued flexible authority for mobili
zation preparedness to meet future emergencies, I recommend exten
sion of the Defense Production Act for 2 years.
An increasing number of stockpile objectives are being filled.
M oreover, the high level of industrial activity has reduced the avail
ability of some materials for stockpiling and required diversion of
part of the new supply of a few materials to meet shortages in key
M29
m 30
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
industries. As a result, net expenditures for the stockpile and for
defense production expansion are expected to decline from 713 million
dollars in the fiscal year 1956 to 378 million dollars in 1957. N o new
authority to incur obligations is recommended for the fiscal year 1957,
since sufficient authority is already available for continued rapid prog
ress toward completion of established minimum objectives and for
limited procurement to maintain essential elements of the mobiliza
tion base.
Under the administration’s policy of finding constructive uses for
our surplus agricultural commodities, strategic materials are being
acquired by barter transactions with foreign suppliers. The D epart
ment of Agriculture plans to acquire additional strategic materials by
barter during 1957. In the fiscal years 1956 and 1957, expenditures
amounting to about 65 million dollars will be made under the appro
priations for stockpiling to reimburse the Department of Agriculture
for materials added to the national stockpile.
Mutual Security Program.— Through the M utual Security Program
we shall continue to work jointly with our friends and allies in build
ing and maintaining the defensive and economic strength of the free
world. This long-range program, which includes military, economic,
and technical assistance, is essential to our national security. Our
assistance supplements the major efforts of other free nations, who
themselves are bearing a large proportion of the total cost of our joint
efforts. I shall subsequently transmit to the Congress m y specific
requests for authorization of appropriations for the fiscal year 1957
M utual Security Program. These requests will cover m y recom
mendations for military assistance and direct forces support, dis
cussed in this section of the message, as well as for economic, tech
nical, and other programs which are discussed in the international
affairs and finance section.
Expenditures for the total Mutual Security Program in the fiscal
year 1957 are estimated at 4.3 billion dollars, about 100 million
dollars more than in 1956. Recommended new authority to incur
obligations is 4.9 billion dollars, an increase of 2.2 billion dollars
over the 2.7 billion dollars enacted for 1956. Requested new obliga
tional authority for 1957 exceeds estimated expenditures for 1957 b y
approximately 600 million dollars reflecting the amount for addi
tional funding of long lead-time items for delivery in future years.
Wherever possible, foreign currency proceeds from the sale of
surplus agricultural products abroad under the Agriculture Trade and
Developm ent A ct will be used to meet mutual security objectives.

Excludes an estimated 130 million dollars of authorizations to use existing balances.
Mutual Security Program, military.— The program of military assist
ance for the fiscal year 1957 is planned primarily to continue equipping
and training forces which we have helped develop and strengthen over
the past years. Total expenditures for military assistance and direct
forces support in the fiscal year 1957 are estimated at approximately
the current rate of 2.5 billion dollars annually. T o carry forward
these programs, I am recommending new obligational authority of
3 billion dollars. Within this amount, 445 million dollars is requested
for direct forces support in the fiscal year 1957 to supply items such as
petroleum, rations, uniforms, and military construction services
directly to the military forces of our allies.
In the fiscal years 1955 and 1956, the backlog of unexpended
balances made it possible to maintain an adequate level of expendi
tures and deliveries while the amount of new authority to incur
obligations was reduced. The backlog of unexpended balances for
military assistance (including reservations for common-item orders)
is being reduced from a total of 7.7 billion dollars at the beginning
of the fiscal year 1955 to an estimated 4.5 billion dollars at the end
of the current fiscal year. If deliveries of military equipment are to
be maintained at the current rate, as I believe they must be, this level
of unexpended balances should not now be further reduced.
Our planning for the future includes helping to provide modern
weapons that the forces which we help support can effectively use.
In view of the long lead-time required, funds must be made available
in advance so that the necessary negotiations and planning may be
undertaken and procurement initiated for complex items such as jet
aircraft, missiles, and electronics systems. Hence, for the fiscal year
m32
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
1957, I am requesting new authority to incur obligations somewhat
above the projected level of expenditures. Deliveries of equipment
and the expenditure of funds will necessarily be spread over a number
of years as defense plans involving modern weapons are completed
and as our allies demonstrate their readiness to support a modern
defense system adequately.
M y recommendations will enable us to provide our N A TO partners
with the modern defense weapons and equipment which we are fur
nishing in increasing numbers to our own N A T O forces in Europe.
Although many European countries are now in a position to finance a
greater share of the cost of maintaining their existing forces, they will
require continuing help if our common defense effort is to be strength
ened b y modern weapons and techniques.
A bout one-half of the fiscal year 1957 program will be concentrated
in Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, and Turkey. The program will provide
for necessary replacements and effective maintenance of materiel
furnished in past years, and will also permit the further training of
existing forces. In addition, we will continue to supply basic military
equipment where necessary to strengthen further defensive capabilities
in the Far and M iddle East. Likewise, we will continue to provide
moderate amounts of equipment to help maintain certain military
units of our friends in Latin America who are cooperating in the
development of hemispheric defenses.
I N T E R N A T IO N A L A F F A IR S A N D F IN A N C E
The international programs which I am recommending for the fiscal
year 1957 will vigorously carry forward our fundamental national
policy to maintain peace and help build a strong, prosperous, and uni
fied community of free nations.
During this past year, the United States has made positive new
proposals aimed at relaxing international tensions. But it remains
clear that the search for lasting peace will require patience, strength,
and continued vigilance.
W e will persist in exploring every possible means of solving the
difficult problems which continue to divide the world. Meanwhile,
we must further strengthen and improve the system of collective
security. M oreover, it is of the utmost importance that, in coop
eration with other free nations, we proceed steadily with long-range,
positive programs to sustain and improve the conditions of human
well-being which are necessary if peace with freedom is to endure.
T o accomplish these objectives, I am proposing expenditures of 2.1
billion dollars in the fiscal year 1957 for our international programs.

Mutual Security Program, economic.— M y recommendations for con
tinuing military assistance under the Mutual Security Program were
discussed previously, and the amounts involved were included as
part of our major national security activities. Some of the countries
to which we provide military assistance, however, do not have the
economic capacity to support effective defensive forces which are
necessary to our mutual security. W e must continue to provide
assistance to such countries to enable them to support the greater
defensive strength that is our common goal. It is particularly im
portant that we continue to help those nations which require assist
ance in order to participate effectively in regional collective security
arrangements, notably those in Asia. This budget, therefore, in
cludes funds for carrying on the defense support program in critical
areas in southern Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast
Asia, and the Far East.

The development of military strength as a deterrent to aggression,
however, meets only a part of the challenge which faces the free world.
Because the conditions of poverty and unrest in less developed areas
make their people a special target of international communism, there
is a need to help them achieve the economic growth and stability
necessary to preserve their independence against Communist threats
and enticements.
For our assistance to be as effective as possible, it must be based
upon a realistic appraisal of potentialities for economic development
and a careful determination of priorities among the many pressing
needs in the less developed areas. M y recommendations for the
M utual Security Program include funds for continuing selective loans
and grants to certain less developed countries following experience
gained in past years.
I am also recommending continuation of the worldwide technical
cooperation program at a slightly increased level. Technical coopera
tion is an indispensable element in the successful attack which is
being made on the basic problems of hunger, disease, and illiteracy.
Through the efforts of American experts working in cooperating
countries and by the training of foreign technicians in the United
States, the knowledge and experience of our people are being shared
in a cooperative effort to solve fundamental problems in health,
education, public administration, agriculture, and industry which
confront less developed countries. B y these means we are helping
to provide the skills which are required for economic development.
In addition to continuing our own technical cooperation program,
m y recommendations provide for our annual contribution to the
expanded technical assistance program of the United Nations and to
the similar work of the Organization of American States.
W e shall also continue and expand in the fiscal year 1957 our inter
national program to provide training in the peaceful uses of atomic
energy. Funds for this purpose are included in this budget as part
of the Mutual Security Program.
Provision should be made for further contributions for the relief and
rehabilitation of refugees from Palestine. In view of the current
unrest in the Near East, our continued support is essential both for
humanitarian reasons and to assist in achieving peace and stability
in the area.
The budget also includes amounts for the escapee program and for
contributions to the Intergovernmental Committee for European
M igration and the United Nations Refugee Fund, which aid in the
relief and resettlement of refugees from behind the Iron Curtain and
in emigration from Europe.
I shall recommend effective flexibility in the use of funds under the
M utual Security Program to enable us to respond to new situations
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
which may arise. I also consider it essential that the Mutual Security
A ct be amended to assure greater continuity in providing economic
assistance for development projects and programs which we approve
and which require a period of years for planning and completion.
Accordingly, I shall ask for limited authority to make longer term
commitments for assistance for such projects, to be fulfilled from
appropriations made in future years.
In furtherance of our basic foreign economic policy objective of
stimulating international trade and investment, I am requesting a
review of existing legislation to determine whether changes will be
necessary to permit an expansion of the investment guaranty program.
Under this program, private United States investors m ay be guaran
teed against loss of their foreign investments or earnings through
expropriation or inconvertibility of foreign currencies. The number
of private investors and foreign governments participating in this
program has steadily increased. W e also need to encourage invest
ment overseas b y avoiding unfair tax duplications, and to foster foreign
trade b y further simplification and improvement of our customs
legislation.
Export-import Bank.— The E xport-im port Bank is assisting in the
expansion of international trade and investment through direct loans
and guaranties of private loans. Its loan and guaranty commitments
are estimated at 960 million dollars in the fiscal year 1957, an increase
of 255 million dollars over the previous year. Because of greater
participation in loans by commercial banks and other sources of
private capital, direct Federal disbursements in the fiscal year 1957
are estimated at less than one-third of the total new commitments.
Repayments on loans made in prior years are expected to exceed dis
bursements from E xport-im port Bank funds, thus providing esti
mated net receipts of 100 million dollars. Sales of portions of the
existing loan portfolio to private financial institutions may increase
this return.
Foreign injormation and exchange activities.— The present inter
national situation has made the work of the United States Information
Agency increasingly vital to our national interest. I consider it of
paramount importance that we expand our effort to bring the truth
before the people of the world, explain our peaceful objectives, and
show in its true light the Communist attempt to divide and destroy
free world unity.
T o this end, I strongly recommend that appropriations for our
information program be increased by 48 million dollars from the
level in the current fiscal year. This increase will provide for ex
m 35
m36
M E S S A G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
panded use of overseas exhibits and other techniques to emphasize
such subjects as our Atoms for Peace program, our proposals for
mutual aerial inspection as a first step toward disarmament, and
the many scientific and cultural achievements b y which progressive
capitalism under free, representative government is contributing to a
peaceful, prosperous world. Overseas libraries will be expanded, and
increased emphasis will be given to supplying books to foreign readers
at low prices. Where appropriate, the program will capitalize on the
effectiveness of television.
I am recommending a modest increase in appropriations for the
educational exchange programs of the Department of State which con
stitute a basic element of our long-term effort to attain a better mutual
understanding with other peoples of the world. These programs bring
to this country leaders of public opinion and facilitate the mutual
exchange of students, teachers, and research scholars. In addition to
appropriated funds, part of the foreign currencies received from the
sale of surplus agricultural commodities abroad will be used to meet
certain overseas costs of educational exchange.
W ith the financial support of the President’s Emergency Fund for
International Affairs, we have sponsored, in cooperation with private
industry, agricultural and industrial exhibits at international trade
fairs which have effectively demonstrated the achievements of private
enterprise in a free economy. Similarly, our cultural achievements
have been presented throughout the world by American actors,
dancers, and musicians during the past year. These trade fair and
cultural presentations have been enthusiastically received abroad and
have contributed significantly to a better understanding of our values
and objectives as a nation. In view of the effectiveness of these
activities, legislation will be recommended to authorize them on a
continuing basis.
Conduct of foreign affairs.— The Department of State is not now
adequately equipped with either the staff or facilities which are re
quired if it is to provide the timely, informed, and coordinated policy
guidance which is vital to the success of our total international effort.
I strongly recommend, therefore, that the Congress enact the requested
increase of 89 million dollars in the appropriations for the Department
of State for the fiscal year 1957.
A substantial part of this increase is for construction of an extension
to the present Department of State building. This extension will per
mit all the Washington staff of the Department, including the Inter
national Cooperation Administration, to be accommodated in a single
building rather than scattered, as at present, among 30 separate build
ings. In addition, my recommendations include funds to cover costs
M ESSA G E O F T H E P R E S ID E N T
in the first year of a long-range program to provide adequate physical
facilities, including housing, for our diplomatic and consular establish
ments abroad.
Steps are already underway to strengthen the staff of the Depart
ment. This budget provides for further improvements, as well as
for carrying forward the recruitment, training, employee benefit, and
other programs initiated during the past 2 years. Increases are also
proposed to permit the prompt and efficient discharge of our expanding
consular responsibilities and to provide for the collection of more com
prehensive commercial and economic data needed by American busi
nessmen and Government agencies.
T o provide for closer international economic cooperation and con
tinued expansion of United States trade abroad, it is particularly im
portant that our membership in the Organization for Trade Coopera
tion be approved. While this will not alter congressional control of
our tariff, import, and customs policies, it will help us to remove dis
criminations against American exports and further strengthen our ties
with other nations of the free world.
V E TE R A N S’ SERVICES AND BENEFITS
The greatest portion of budget expenditures for veterans is for direct
benefits, such as compensation and pensions, indemnity payments,
readjustment benefits, and hospital and medical care. These direct
benefit costs have been increasing. A t the same time overhead costs
are being reduced through improved administration.
Budget expenditures for veterans’ programs are estimated to total
4.9 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1957, 86 million dollars more than
in 1956 and 422 million dollars more than in 1955.
W e now have more than 22 million veterans. When benefits for
dependents and survivors are considered, nearly one-half of our popula
tion is potentially entitled to veterans’ benefits.
Therefore, continuing and careful attention must be given to
veterans’ services and benefits. These services and benefits will be
increasingly significant as the veteran population ages, because benefit
entitlement resulting from non-service-connected infirmities associated
with advancing age will replace eligibility for service-connected bene
fits as the m ajor factor in the cost of veterans’ programs.
The Congress and the public will want to join with this adminis
tration in giving careful consideration to the findings of the Commis
sion on Veterans’ Pensions which I appointed to study this problem.
This Commission, which will report later this year, is reviewing
thoroughly the relation of the existing nonmedical programs for
veterans to each other and to the numerous civil benefits which the
Nation now provides for the aged, the needy, the infirm, and the
disabled— both veterans and^others.

Steps to relate military service survivor benefits to old-age and
survivors insurance benefits are already underway in a bill pending
before the Congress. The additional cost of this legislation for those
receiving veterans’ benefits is provided in this section of the budget.
The estimates of military expenditures, under proposed legislation,
include an amount to cover the Government’s share, as employer, of
the old-age and survivors insurance contribution.

i Compares with new obligational authority of 4,369 million dollars in 1955 and 4,805 million dollars in 1956.
Readjustment benefits.— A year ago, I issued a proclamation termi
nating accrual of eligibility for various wartime benefits. While it
is still necessary to draft individuals for service in our Armed Forces,
this service at present imposes neither the hazards of conflict nor as
serious a disruption of education and other preparation for civilian
life as was imposed upon our combat servicemen. The forthcoming
report of the Commission on Veterans’ Pensions will provide a useful
framework for further consideration of the needs of our servicemen
for readjustment benefits under present conditions.
The program of readjustment benefits for W orld W ar II veterans
is drawing to a close. W orld W ar II veterans will account for less
than 7 percent of the 1957 readjustment expenditures of the Veterans
M E SS A G E O F T H E P R E S ID E N T
Administration. For most of these veterans, unemployment com
pensation rights ended July 25, 1952, and educational programs will
cease July 25, 1956. The ending of the loan guaranty program on
July 25, 1957, will bring to a close a third major program. In each
case, the law has set a termination date which establishes a proper
balance between the nature of the benefit and a reasonable time for
using it.
The timeliness and aptness of our veterans’ readjustment programs
are attested in m any ways. Under the “ G I b ill/’ 7.8 million W orld
W ar II veterans have received education and 4.5 million have acquired
homes. Practically all W orld War II veterans have assumed their
civilian status in our economy and share equitably in the general
prosperity. As a group, they have made the transition from military
to civilian life and do not require extension of these readjustment
benefits. For those few individuals who have not completed the
change to civilian life in 10 years, approaches other than veterans’
readjustment benefits seem to be indicated.
The education and training of Korean veterans will account for the
bulk of the readjustment benefit expenditures during 1957. The
average of 540,000 veterans in training under this program during the
year will be the highest for any year.
Loan guaranty expenditures are estimated to increase slightly,
requiring 38 million dollars for acquisition of properties and for losses
on defaulted loans. It is expected that 640,000 new loans, totaling
7.3 billion dollars, will be guaranteed or insured during the fiscal year.
As in the past, nearly all will be for housing. This program will
continue until 1965 for veterans of the Korean conflict.
Veterans who served in the Armed Forces during the period June 27,
1950, to January 31, 1955, are eligible for unemployment compensa
tion under Federal law. These benefits are estimated at 118 million
dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
Compensation and pensions.— The most important elements in the
continuing upward trend in expenditures for veterans’ programs are
compensation and pensions. Under existing legislation, significant
increases in the cost of these direct payments may be anticipated
annually until the end of this century, when payments may be twice
their present yearly total of nearly 3 billion dollars. This long-term
outlook arises chiefly from the very large number of veterans who may
become entitled to pension benefits not connected with disabilities
arising from their service.
In the fiscal year 1957, expenditures are estimated to increase .119
million dollars as a result of three factors. The largest is the increased
number of pensions paid to veterans of W orld War I and their depend
m 39
m40
M E S S A G E OF T H E P R E S I D E N T
ents. These pensions are non-service-connected benefits granted
widows in financial need or needy veterans with disabilities which
prevent them from following a substantially gainful occupation.
Expenditures for these programs have doubled since 1950 and may
double again in the next 5 years if the current trend continues.
R ecently discharged veterans of the Korean conflict and of peace
time service who have service-connected disabilities are a second
source of growth in compensation and pension expenditures. It is
estimated that about 35,000 new cases will be added to the disability
compensation rolls during the next fiscal year.
Third, under the pending legislation to provide old-age and survivors
insurance benefits to survivors of military personnel, many widows
and children now receiving veterans’ benefits would be eligible for in
creased compensation payments. These increased benefits would be
partially offset by decreased payments from the veterans’ indemnity
and insurance appropriations. In the fiscal year 1957, the net addi
tional expenditures are estimated at 30 million dollars, but in sub
sequent years this amount is expected to be somewhat lower.
During the fiscal year 1957 almost 3 billion dollars of compensation
and pensions will be paid to approximately 2.8 million veterans, plus
the survivors of over 850,000 deceased veterans. M ore than 10 per
cent of the veterans of W orld War II will be receiving compensation
payments totaling 1 billion dollars for service-connected disabilities.
A bout 20 percent of the veterans of W orld War I will draw non-serviceconnected pensions in the fiscal year 1957. The possible trend is
indicated b y the fact that 85 percent of the living veterans of earlier
wars will draw such pensions.
Hospitals and medical care.— Veterans’ hospital and medical ex
penses will continue to rise through the fiscal year 1957 as the number
of patients in Veterans Administration hospitals is expected to increase
1.4 percent over 1956 to a daily average of 111,500. Almost twothirds of these hospital patients and most of the 17,000 veterans in
Veterans Administration homes are receiving treatment for condi
tions which are not related to their military service.
Outpatient care, which is only for service-connected conditions, is
expected to be somewhat below the levels of 1955 and 1956. The
number of medical and dental examinations and treatments is esti
mated to be 2,398,000 in 1957, a decline of 20,000 from 1956.
I recommend the enactment of 53 million dollars of new authority
to incur obligations for construction and improvements at Veterans
Administration facilities. About one-half of this amount is for
urgently needed replacement of a major part of one mental hospital
and for preparation of architectural plans for replacement of four
M41
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
500-bed general medical hospitals. The other half provides for addi
tional modernization and improvement work at existing facilities.
Insurance and servicemen’s indemnities.— Budget expenditures under
this heading are primarily for indemnities to survivors of servicemen
who die during active duty and for reimbursements to the life insurance
trust funds for claims traced to military hazards. These expenditures
are estimated at 80 million dollars in the fiscal year 1957. This amount
is substantially lower than in 1956, when a large number of insurance
settlements were made for servicemen previously reported missing
during hostilities in Korea.

Trust funds .— Insurance protection of over 38 billion dollars is pro
vided through nearly 6 million national service and United States
Government life insurance policies. The number of these policies in
force has steadily declined, as issuance of additional insurance was
ended in 1951. During the past calendar year, 25,000 policies matured
and 319,000 were terminated.
Transactions of these trust funds are excluded from budget receipts
and expenditures. For the fiscal year 1957, cash receipts will exceed
disbursements on policies held by W orld War II veterans, while benefit
payments will exceed premiums on insurance held b y the older age
groups. The net accumulation is reserved for future claims.

LABOR AN D W ELFARE
The labor and welfare programs of the Government contribute
notably to the achievement of our objectives of greater human well
being and a growing economy. These programs are designed to pro
mote individual opportunity and foster self-reliance by assisting in
the improvement and protection of people’s health, the promotion of
education and research, the training and placement of workers, the
rehabilitation of the disabled, and the provision of security against
economic want.
M ost of the labor, health, education, and welfare services are ad
ministered by the States and their subdivisions. In fact, fourfifths of the 3 billion dollars of budget expenditures estimated for
labor and welfare in the fiscal year 1957 is for grants to State and
local governments. Outside the regular Federal budget, substantial
benefits are provided through the social insurance and retirement trust
funds.
Budget expenditures for labor and welfare in the fiscal year 1957
are an estimated 228 million dollars greater than in the current fiscal
year, and 442 million dollars higher than actual expenditures in 1955.
The increase in 1957 stems largely from m y proposals to strengthen
and expand education, health, and research services substantially.
These budget recommendations will contribute greatly to the well
being of all our people, both through those activities which relate
directly to individuals and families and those which operate indirectly
through improved community services and private enterprise.
In some instances, legislation will be required. M y legislative
recommendations therefore include measures to authorize assistance
to States for building schools, for promoting occupational safety, and
for reducing juvenile delinquency; a broad program for improvement
of the N ation’s health; completion of the program of poliomyelitis
immunization grants to States; continuance of the present Federal
formula for grants for State public assistance payments, with adjust
ments for old-age insurance benefits in certain cases; and further
expansion of coverage of the old-age and survivors insurance system.
Under existing laws, I am recommending increased appropriations
directed mainly to the expansion of medical research, greater support
for basic scientific research and training, enlargement of protective
and preventive services in the fields of health and welfare, im prove
ment of our labor and manpower services, and construction o f hospitals
and other necessary health and research facilities.

Labor and manpower.— Recently enacted legislation has resulted in
substantial improvements in the economic safeguards for workers.
M inimum wages set by Federal law have been raised from 75 cents to
1 dollar an hour, and coverage of the Federal-State unemployment
compensation system has been extended to employees of small firms
and o f the Federal Government. This budget provides for the
enforcement and administration of these improvements.
T o improve economic safeguards further, I recommend that the
Congress extend the protection of the minimum wage law to additional
workers. The facilities of the executive branch will be available to
assist the Congress in finding ways of achieving this goal. Legisla
tion is also needed to raise benefits and provide more funds for
rehabilitation under the federally administered Longshoremen’s and
Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. In addition, a system of
benefits for workers who are temporarily disabled from nonoccupational causes should be established in the District of Columbia. This
budget also provides for studies b y the Department of Labor to assist
the States in improving their workmen’s compensation laws.
In addition to improved workmen's compensation, we need effective
measures to advance occupational safety. Therefore, I recommend
that the Congress enact a new program to provide technical aid and
limited financial assistance to the States for promoting occupational
safety.
The current high level of general prosperity spotlights the adverse
economic plight of low-income rural areas and of urban areas with
persistent unemployment. As part of governmentwide efforts to
alleviate these problems, additional work will be done in the labor
and manpower field. This will include the designation of areas
eligible for special assistance, the provision of labor market informa
tion, and vocational advice for individuals.
The 1957 budget recommendations for grants for administration of
the employment services and unemployment insurance provide for
stepping up job counseling and testing in the public employment
offices. For example, job counseling interviews will be increased
from 1.6 million in the fiscal year 1956 to 2 million in 1957. These
increased activities are aimed at better utilization of our labor force—with particular emphasis on placing the older and the handicapped
workers in jobs most suitable for them. Procedures for taking and
reviewing unemployment compensation claims will also be improved.
In addition, the budget estimate covers increases by the State gov
ernments in salary rates for the State employees who administer this
program.
M E SS A G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
The Federal payment to the unemployment trust fund is estimated
at 81 million dollars in the fiscal year 1957. This is the part of the
Federal unemployment tax collections during the fiscal year 1956
which it is estimated will not be used for the unemployment insurance
and employment service program. Almost 50 million dollars of this
payment will be used to complete a reserve of 200 million dollars
available for loans to States which deplete their own reserves for
benefit payments. About 32 million dollars will be credited to the
unemployment trust accounts of the States.
During the current year significant improvements were authorized
in our labor and manpower statistics programs. This budget pro
vides, at minor additional cost, for further improvements, particularly
in the consumer price index and in reports on labor turnover and cur
rent employment.
Public assistance and old-age and survivors insurance.— Grants to
the States for old-age assistance and aid to dependent children, the
blind, and the totally disabled are estimated at 1.5 billion dollars in
the fiscal year 1957, the largest expenditure item in the welfare
category of the Federal budget.
Our welfare policies have a twofold emphasis: T o provide basic
economic protection for older people and for widowed mothers and
children through self-sustaining social insurance; and, where possible,
to prevent need as well as to relieve it. M y budget recommendations
for both existing and proposed programs reflect this emphasis.
Old-age and survivors insurance— financed through a trust fund
outside the regular budget— is now providing benefits at a rate of
more than 5 billion dollars a year to more than 6 million persons over
age 65 and to 1% million mothers and children. The number of
beneficiaries is growing. M ore than nine-tenths of all employed per
sons in the country are now insured. Legislation should be enacted
to bring in the groups still excluded-—for example, employees of the
Federal Government.
For a large group of needy people not receiving OASI benefits,
public assistance remains the only public resource. One out of every
three people over 80 years of age is on the public assistance rolls, as
compared with only about 1 in every 10 in the age group 65 to 69
which, for the most part, has the insurance protection. T o avoid
hardship to present public assistance recipients, I propose that the
present formula for determining the Federal share of assistance
payments be temporarily extended. This will allow time to re
appraise the need for the present high level of the Federal contribu
tion to public assistance as the effects of the recent strengthening of
old-age and survivors insurance protection become more fully appar
m45
m 46
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
ent. Meanwhile, to reflect the fact that more and more people are
becom ing eligible for old-age and survivors insurance benefits, I recom
mend legislation to fix at 50 percent the Federal share of supple
mentary old-age assistance payments by the States to beneficiaries
o f this insurance who are added to the assistance rolls after the
fiscal year 1957.
The Federal Government should also do more to assist the States to
adopt preventive measures which will reduce need and increase selfhelp among those who depend upon public welfare. Likewise, special
provision should be made for improving medical care of public assist
ance recipients through legislation to permit separate Federal matching
of State and local expenditures for this purpose.
Promotion oj public health.— One of the most important goals of this
administration is to assure continued progress in research, training,
and provision of health facilities so that the medical professions can
help the American people to enjoy better health. T o this end I am
proposing a substantial, yet orderly, expansion of our existing health
services and new measures necessary to fill significant gaps in the
N ation’s programs for promoting good health.
I again urge the Congress to act favorably and prom ptly on recom
mendations made last year to provide mortgage insurance for the
construction of health facilities, to train health personnel, to expand
mental health programs, to abate water pollution, and to strengthen
State and local public health services.
In addition, provision should be made to assist the extension and
improvement of health insurance protection for our people. The
Congress has taken no action on m y legislative proposals to meet these
objectives. The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare is
working on plans whereby private insurance organizations generally
m ay pool risks to cover abnormal losses possible under broader health
plans, and, if necessary, appropriate permissive legislation will be
recommended. Should this approach not be successful, a Federal
reinsurance service should receive renewed consideration.
I recommend also that the Congress enact legislation to authorize
Federal assistance for the construction of medical and dental research
and teaching facilities. Expansion of these facilities is necessary to
provide for a continuing increase in the medical research program of the
Nation, and will help our hard-pressed medical and dental schools to
provide better training for more students.
The law providing for a poliomyelitis immunization program,
which was enacted last year, should be extended beyond its present
expiration date of February 15, 1956. This budget includes, under
proposed legislation for the fiscal year 1956, the necessary funds to
M E SS A G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
complete the program of grants to assist States in the immunization
of children and expectant mothers.
Special services are needed to promote the health of our Indian
population and to assist the Territory of Alaska in dealing with the
problem o f mental health. I recommend legislation to authorize
construction of sanitation facilities on certain Indian reservations
and tribal lands. Legislation should be enacted also to transfer to
the Territorial Government of Alaska responsibility for care of the
mentally ill, with temporary Federal aid for building and operating
treatment centers.
I recommend the transfer of Freedmen’s Hospital to Howard
University, with provision for construction of a new teaching hospital.
For health legislation proposals, the total of additional expenditures
in the fiscal year 1957 is estimated at 44 million dollars.
Under presently existing legislation, budget expenditures for public
health programs other than the poliomyelitis vaccination grants are
estimated at 395 million dollars for the fiscal year 1957. A major
increase of 24 million dollars is proposed for the research and training
activities of the National Institutes of Health. Grants to States for
construction o f hospitals and other health facilities will increase by
18 million dollars, and the recommended appropriation will result in
further increases in later years. As part of our policy of strengthening
enforcement of the food and drug laws I am recommending a sub
stantial increase for the Food and Drug Administration. In addition,
I am recommending increased appropriations to attack the problem of
air pollution; to expand grants to States for child welfare services; and
to expand health services to Indians, including construction of three
hospitals. These increases are partly offset by reduced construction
expenditures, primarily for the District of Columbia hospital center.
Promotion oj education.— The educational problems of the Nation
are acute. School enrollments are growing. Classrooms are over
crowded. W e do not have enough teachers.
Americans are demonstrating their increased concern with these
problems b y working together now, more than ever, in parent-teacher
organizations and other citizen groups. Members of these groups—
many of which participated in the recent White House Conference on
Education— have stressed the need for measures b y all levels of
Government to improve our schools.
As a principle of our governmental system, we believe in State and
local responsibility for public education. This means not only local
direction of public schools but also local financial support augmented
b y the States. States and communities have made definite progress
toward meeting our educational problems. They are reducing the
m 47
m48
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
classroom shortage by building an increasing number of schools each
year. But we still lack more than 200,000 classrooms. In order to
increase further the number of new buildings completed over the next
5 years, I propose that the Federal Government supplement the cur
rent efforts of the States and their subdivisions in financing public
school construction.
In continued recognition of the special school enrollment problems
created in many communities by military and civilian activities of the
Federal Government, I am recommending extension for 2 years of the
authority for providing assistance in paying for new school buildings
in federally affected areas. Under present law no applications can
be received after June 30, 1956. An additional appropriation of 88
million dollars for the fiscal year 1957 is recommended for the pro
posed extension. W ith the enactment of legislation to authorize gen
eral Federal assistance for school construction, the necessity for the
further extension of special Federal aids for construction and for
maintenance and operation in these school districts will require
reconsideration.
The United States Office of Education, through its advisory services
and its research and statistics, affords another channel whereby the
Federal Government can aid in the improvement of our schools.
I am recommending a substantial increase for the fiscal year 1957 in
the budget of the Office, mostly for the new cooperative research
program authorized by the Congress, which will assist the States in
their efforts to deal effectively with educational problems.
An increase of 4 million dollars in estimated expenditures for the
education and welfare of our Indian population will make it possible
to complete the necessary staffing of schools and to increase the
number of Indians relocated in urban areas.
General-purpose research, libraries, and museums.— Because of the
direct importance of basic research to our defense program and our
national welfare and economic progress, this budget proposes a sub
stantial increase in Federal support of general-purpose research and
education in the sciences. This increase is considered by our national
security and scientific research agencies to be vitally necessary.
Even with this added support, basic research will constitute less than
10 percent of the Government’s annual investment in research and
development.
M ESSAG E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
For these reasons, I recommend that the appropriation for the
regular activities of the National Science Foundation be substantially
increased from 16 million dollars in the current fiscal year to 41
million dollars in the fiscal year 1957. This will enable the Foundation
to extend an additional 13 million dollars of support to meritorious
basic research projects in colleges and universities; will provide 7
million dollars for the construction of special-purpose facilities needed
for basic scientific research, including the N ation’s first major radio
astronomy center; and will make available an additional 5 million
dollars for expanding the Foundation’s experimental program de
signed to improve science teaching in our schools and colleges and to
encourage a greater number of able students to enter careers in
science.
A supplemental appropriation for the Foundation of 28 million
dollars will be required in the current year to complete financing of
the United States program for the International Geophysical Year.
The additional amount is mainly for the earth-circling satellite project,
in which the Department of Defense is also participating.
Also fundamental to science is the work of the National Bureau of
Standards. Increased expenditures of 4 million dollars are recom
mended in the fiscal year 1957 to strengthen research in the physical
sciences and to plan new buildings to replace present inadequate
research facilities.
For the Bureau of the Census, I am recommending appropriations
for collecting needed data on two important aspects of our national
life. The census of governments will provide, for the first time since
1942, comprehensive financial information about the more than 100,000
State and local government units. The national housing inventory
will measure the significant changes in the N ation’s housing supply
which have taken place since 1950. Expenditures for the Census
Bureau as a whole will decline, however, as work on the current cen
suses of agriculture, business, manufactures, and mineral industries
draws to a conclusion.
In addition to necessary operating funds for the Smithsonian Insti
tution, I am recommending an appropriation of 34 million dollars for
the construction of a Museum of History and Technology authorized
at the last session of the Congress. This museum, the first new Smith
sonian building to be federally financed in more than 40 years, will
360000— 56------ iv
m49
m50
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
permit for the first time an adequate permanent display of collections
which now far exceed the capacity of existing buildings.
Correctional and penal institutions.■— Construction of two new prison
institutions is required to help ease overcrowded conditions in existing
penitentiaries and to provide for youthful offenders and more ade
quate custody of the most dangerous and troublesome prisoners.
These new facilities account for almost all of an 18-million-dollar
increase over 1956 in appropriations requested for the Federal prison
system.
Other welfare services.— The school lunch program is supported with
surplus commodities as well as by regular appropriations. Increased
efforts in the removal of agricultural surpluses are expected to result
in a greater distribution of such foods to schools, reaching an estimated
value of up to 130 million dollars in the current fiscal year. These
increased efforts will continue in the fiscal year 1957. Additionally,
the recommended direct appropriation of 83 million dollars for the
school lunch program for the fiscal year 1957 will provide the same
level of such expenditures as in 1955 and 1956.
This Nation still has hundreds of thousands of disabled citizens who
should be restored to productive employment and thereby helped to
achieve economic independence. This budget continues full support
of the expanded State-Federal vocational rehabilitation program at a
rate which will permit the States to continue enlarging their rehabilita
tion services as rapidly as their own funds permit.
Another growing social problem of concern to the entire Nation is
juvenile delinquency. During the last 8 years there has been a 60-per
cent increase in the number of children appearing before our courts.
The States and communities need technical assistance and financial aid
to help them halt this trend. I therefore renew m y request that
Congress enact legislation promptly to authorize Federal aid to the
States for strengthening their services for prevention and treatment
of juvenile delinquency.

Social insurance and retirement trust funds .— Unemployment insur
ance, old-age and survivors insurance, railroad retirement, and Federal
civilian employees’ retirement are financed from trust funds, the trans
actions of which are not included in budgetary receipts and expendi
tures. The balances in the funds, now about 40 billion dollars, are
invested in Government bonds.
Increased coverage in the old-age insurance program, increases in
the interest paid to this trust fund, and improved coordination of
income and old-age insurance tax collection procedures are recom
mended elsewhere in this message. The estimates of trust fund
receipts and disbursements for the fiscal year 1957 do not reflect
proposed legislation.
AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL RESO URCES
This budget carries forward the broad agricultural objectives that
we have been striving to achieve through new legislation, redirection
of emphasis, and improved administration during the past 3 years.
It provides for the strengthened agricultural program which I proposed
in m y recent special message to the Congress.
Thus, this budget permits an intensification of our efforts to aid
farmers in making the difficult readjustment from the abnormal situa
tion of the war and postwar period to a realistic peacetime outlook for
markets, so that they may share more equitably in the prosperity
which other sectors of the economy are now enjoying. It also provides
for continued emphasis on research and educational activities and on
soil and water conservation, and for an enlarged program to help lowincome farmers improve their situation.
Gross budget expenditures for agricultural programs are estimated
at 9.1 billion dollars in 1957. These expenditures include loans made
and commodities purchased by the public enterprise agencies in the
Department of Agriculture and the Farm Credit Administration.
Receipts from agricultural programs, which reflect loan repayments
and com m odity sales of these public enterprise agencies, are estimated
at 5.7 billion dollars in 1957. The resulting estimate of net budget
expenditures is 3.4 billion dollars, about the same as estimated for
1956.
New authority to incur obligations of 2.9 billion dollars is recom
mended for the fiscal year 1957, as compared with 3.3 billion dollars
in 1956. Excluding the Com m odity Credit Corporation, new author
ity to incur obligations for agricultural programs will be 621 million
dollars higher in 1957 than in 1956.

1 N et expenditures for the Farmers’ Home Administration and for rural electrification and telephone
loans do not reflect loan collections, since these collections go directly into miscellaneous receipts of the
Treasury. In 1957 these collections are estimated at 167 million dollars and 124 million dollars, respectively.
2 Compares with new obligational authority of 2,672 million dollars in 1955 and 3,324 million dollars in
1956.
M ost of the increases are for the new measures which were set forth
in detail in m y recent special message on agriculture. New authority
to incur obligations of 450 million dollars is included under proposed
legislation primarily for that part of the program dealing with the soil
bank. This includes an acreage reserve to reduce current and accu
mulated surpluses of crops in most serious difficulty, and a conserva
tion reserve to achieve other needed adjustments in the use of agri
cultural resources. In addition to reducing production of surplus
crops and shifting land to more desirable uses, it will aid farmers
in financing the transition to a farming pattern appropriate for
today’s markets.
The budget also provides funds for other measures recommended in
the special message. These measures are mainly for strengthening
m54
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
and redirecting existing programs. They include stepped-up pur
chasing and distribution of perishable commodities which are tem
porarily in excess supply; a strengthened program for disposal of
surplus stocks of staple commodities; a strengthened rural develop
ment and credit program for low-income farm families; additional
research emphasizing both lower costs of production and new products
and markets; and the program for farm improvement and better land
use in the Great Plains States.
I am also recommending new legislation to permit refunds to
farmers of Federal taxes on gasoline used in their farm operations.
It is estimated that tax refunds to farmers under this legislation will
amount to 60 million dollars in 1957.
Taken together m y new proposals will entail new outlays of 500
million dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
Stabilization oj farm prices and farm income.— Programs to stabilize
farm prices and farm income account for over 60 percent of the esti
mated gross budget expenditures for agriculture and agricultural re
sources in the fiscal year 1957. The principal part of these expendi
tures is for the price support operations of the Com m odity Credit
Corporation. Gross expenditures for these operations, reflecting new
price support loans and purchases of commodities during the year,
are estimated at 5.1 billion dollars. Applicable receipts from repaid
loans and sales of commodities will amount to 3.5 billion dollars, leav
ing net expenditures of 1.6 billion dollars. In recent years receipts
have been substantially less than new outlays, and inventories of the
Com m odity Credit Corporation have been rising steeply. On October
31, 1955, C CC loans and com m odity inventories amounted to 7.7
billion dollars as compared with 6.6 billion dollars a year earlier.
Government support of farm prices above world prices under pro
grams which were attuned to war and were too long continued has
been a major cause of the present accumulation of farm surpluses.
These now overhang the market and create uncertainty and great
concern on the part of the producers. W orld W ar II, with its terrible
losses and destruction, enabled the liquidation of our prewar surpluses,
and the Korean conflict helped to liquidate those that accumulated
after the end of W orld War II. But the sharp rise of world prices
during these war periods, together with our high rigid price supports,
encouraged expansion of production throughout the world.
The chief domestic beneficiaries of our price support policies in the
past have been the 2 million large highly mechanized farming units
representing about 35 percent of our farms but producing about 85 per
cent of our agricultural products. Under the price support program
that has been functioning the greater proportion of the dollars go to
M E SSA G E O F T H E P R E S ID E N T
the largest producers; in the case of wheat, for example, approxi
mately three-fourths of the loan dollars go to one-third of the bor
rowers. Individual cotton loans in excess of 1 million dollars have
been made.
W e should today resist new efforts to have the Government restore
high rigid price supports which would aggravate the problem. The
Agricultural A ct of 1954 and the new programs recommended in m y
special agricultural message are designed to make a broad frontal
attack on the surplus problem without repeating our previous mistakes
of stimulating production beyond available markets and thus piling
up price-depressing surpluses.
In contrast to expenditures, the price support operations of the Com
m odity Credit Corporation should be reviewed from the standpoint of
losses actually sustained in the disposition of commodities. In the
main, these losses represent the difference between com m odity acquisi
tion and storage costs on the one hand, and receipts from sale of the
same commodities on the other. Since the commodities usually are
n ot sold in the same fiscal year in which they are acquired, realized
losses for a year are not the same as the net expenditures for that year.
In the fiscal year 1955, realized losses amounted to approximately 800
million dollars, of which more than one-half were losses on dairy
products. Estimated future losses on the loans and com m odity
inventories the Corporation held at the end of that year are 2.4 billion
dollars, of which about two-thirds represent anticipated losses on corn
and wheat.
As a nation, we have in the past and, if necessary, will in the future
provide substantial sums of money as a part of our efforts to have
farmers share more fully in the prosperity of the country. But farmers
know that Government money alone will not do the job. Further
more, farmers do not want to be dependent on Government assistance.
They want the opportunity to obtain a better living standard for
their families through their own efforts. The Government’s respon
sibility is to help create the conditions in which farmers can have
this opportunity.
W e intend to continue our vigorous efforts to find markets at home
and abroad for our present surpluses of farm commodities.
The Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance A ct of 1954
was amended in the past session of the Congress to permit an increase
from 700 million dollars to 1.5 billion dollars in the amount of loss that
the Corporation might incur in sales of commodities for foreign
currencies. Agreements negotiated up to December 31, 1955, under
this law provide for disposition of commodities worth 504 million
dollars at market value, which in many cases is substantially below
amounts paid the farmers. The actual loss cannot be calculated
M55
m56
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
until the foreign currencies are used. Additional agreements which
m ay amount to as much as 385 million dollars are under negotiation.
The International W heat Agreement, a multilateral agreement
between wheat importing and wheat exporting countries of which the
United States is a member, expires on July 31, 1956. The desirability
of extending this agreement is under study and a determination will be
made at a later date. This budget assumes that wheat exports during
the 1956-57 marketing year will total about 275 million bushels and
that most of this wheat will move at world prices under federally
assisted programs.
Expenditures under the permanent appropriation for the disposal of
surplus agricultural commodities are expected to be substantially
higher in the fiscal years 1956 and 1957 than in 1955, consistent with
our determination to stand ready with purchase programs to remove
temporary market gluts whenever serious ones occur, and to utilize
effectively the surplus commodities acquired. Our present pork
buying program, which was started in November of last year, is an
example.
While our special efforts to expand exports and our increased
purchases of perishable commodities have an important place in our
overall agricultural program, they should not be expected to take the
place of vigorous competition for markets, based on price and produc
tion adjustments. M y recommendations for new legislation, increased
research and education, and the further operation of the Agricultural
A ct of 1954 will all contribute to this first line of attack on the agri
cultural surplus problem.
Rural electrification, rural telephones, and farm credit.— The budget
recommendations for the Rural Electrification Administration repre
sent a continuation of our policy of making loans available to meet the
farmers’ needs for electrification and telephones. The budget provides
for approval of loans for electrification in the amount of 185 million
dollars in 1957, which is the same as that for 1956 and 20 million dollars
higher than in 1955. It also provides for approval of loans for rural
telephones in the amount of 80 million dollars, the same as for 1956,
and 27 million dollars higher than for 1955. Disbursements on loans
and expenditures for administration for both programs are estimated at
239 million dollars, 16 million more than in 1956.
The total of Farmers’ Home Administration direct and insured loans
is expected to approach 260 million dollars in 1957 as compared with
193 million dollars in 1955. A substantial part of this expansion is in
insured private loans, which are not reflected in budget expenditures.
Legislation will be proposed to broaden the authority under the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant A ct to permit the Farmers’ Home
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
Administration to make certain loans for farm housing previously
possible only under title V of the Housing A ct of 1949, as amended.
W ith this change, further extension of the authority for farm housing
loans under title V beyond its present termination date of June 30,
1956, will not be necessary.
Several agencies will increase their participation in the Rural Devel
opment Program that I recommended in m y special message during
the past session of the Congress. This program will be conducted
broadly as well as in selected counties, and will involve special educa
tional work b y the cooperative Federal-State Extension Service,
research on farming and marketing problems of low-income farmers
by Federal and State agencies, and assistance in providing employment
information b y the Department of Labor. To assure adequate funds
and to permit broader coverage in the financing of small farms, I am
recommending an additional 15 million dollars of lending authority for
the Farmers’ Hom e Administration under proposed legislation.
Consistent with our policy of withdrawing the Federal Government
from activities that can more properly be carried on privately, legis
lation was recommended and enacted last year providing for syste
matic retirement of the Federal investment in the banks for cooper
atives which are supervised by the Farm Credit Administration.
Although the effect of this legislation on the budget will be small, it is
expected that farmers through their cooperatives will be able to
acquire, over a period of years, the present equity of the Federal
Government in these credit institutions.
Agricultural land and water resources.— M y recommendations for
agricultural land and water resources for the fiscal year 1957 are an
integral part of a broad program designed to give additional emphasis
to conservation of our natural resources. They provide for an in
crease in the regular services of the Soil Conservation Service and for
the expected growth in the relatively new watershed protection and
flood prevention program. The soil bank program proposed in m y
special agricultural message will contribute also to our conservation
objectives.
Expenditures under the existing agricultural conservation program
assist farmers in applying soil conservation practices and in making
proper use of land diverted from the production of surplus crops.
Payments to farmers in the fiscal year 1957 will be principally to cover
the cost of the program carried out for the crop year 1956, as author
ized in the 1956 appropriation act. I recommend a forward author
ization of 250 million dollars for the 1957 crop year agricultural
conservation program— the same level as for 1956.

Research and other agricultural services.— M y budget recommenda
tions provide for further expansion of research, mainly in cooperation
with State agencies. Additional funds requested for educational
activities will permit greater concentration of effort on direct counsel
ing of individual farmers in the development of programs for their
entire farms; also, on the educational phases of our Rural Development
Program for low-income families.
The budget includes funds for the recommendations on research and
education in m y special message on agriculture. The seriousness of
the production adjustment and income problems of American agricul
ture arising from increased production at home and abroad and from
declining prices of major agricultural commodities requires that we
materially strengthen selected areas of research in agriculture.
NATURAL RESO U RCES
Resource development is the responsibility of everyone. In m any
cases State, local, and private groups can best carry out needed pro
grams themselves. In other cases, Federal participation is the
necessary element in accomplishing broad national aims, where
projects are beyond the means or needs of local groups. Under the
partnership policy of this administration, emphasis is placed on
sharing the cost of projects with the groups which receive direct
benefits from them. This approach serves to multiply the effect of
Federal expenditures in the stimulation of conservation and develop
ment. The recommendations in this budget will result in further
advances toward our broad goal of a steadily growing program for
resource development through the cooperative efforts of States, local
communities, private citizens, and the Federal Government.
The importance of the partnership policy in the development of
water resources is being emphasized in a report of the Advisory Com
mittee on Water Resources Policy. This report will also stress the
need for strengthening our procedure for the formulation and review
of proposed water resources projects. Some of the Advisory C om
m ittee’s recommendations will require changes in existing law, and
specific legislative proposals will be transmitted to the Congress.
Budget expenditures for natural resources programs in the fiscal
year 1957 are estimated at 1 billion dollars, about the same level as in
1956. Programs for flood control, reclamation, and multiple-purpose
water resources development will expand over the 1956 levels and will
require about 60 percent of the net expenditures in 1957. The man
agement and development of the national forests, parks, public domain
lands, and Indian lands will require about 25 percent of the total.
The remainder will be for minerals programs, fish and wildlife re
sources, and other developmental activities.
m59
M E SSA G E O F T H E P R E S ID E N T
In addition to their economic returns, many resource development
programs yield financial receipts. These receipts come mostly from
sale of power generated at Government facilities, sale of timber from
national forests and public lands, and mineral leases on public lands
including the Outer Continental Shelf. Some of the receipts are used
to finance current operations and are applied against the gross ex
penditures of the agency; these are estimated at 266 million dollars in
the fiscal year 1957. Other receipts, estimated at 544 million dollars
in 1957, are deposited directly in the Treasury, and are then shared
with States and counties as authorized by the Congress, appropriated
for specific Federal programs, or added to the general revenues of the
Government.

Land and water resources.— The policies underlying recommenda
tions for water and related land resources in this and other sections of
the budget are intended to help provide an adequate water supply for
our people in the years to come and to aid in checking destructive
forces of water, as well as to achieve the benefits for navigation, fish
and wildlife conservation, and recreation resulting from the proper
development of these resources.
A large share of the net expenditures of 690 million dollars for land
and water resources in 1957 will be for continuation or completion of
construction on water resources projects of the Corps of Engineers
and Bureau of Reclamation, and for maintenance and operation of
existing facilities.
These agencies will continue construction in 1957 on 187 projects
and units for flood control, beach erosion control, irrigation, and
multiple-purpose developments which will provide such additional
benefits as hydroelectric power, municipal water supply, or navigation.
Funds recommended for these projects will maintain present con
struction schedules on power projects and will continue nonpower
projects at economic rates of construction. Under the recommenda
tions in this budget, 10 of these projects and units can be completed.
In accordance with the policy of encouraging non-Federal respon
sibility for water resources projects, with Federal cooperation where
national interests are involved, I have supported legislation which
would change certain presently authorized Federal projects to part
nership projects. Funds for the Federal share of the Markham Ferry
project in Oklahoma were appropriated for the fiscal year 1956, and
construction b y non-Federal interests of this project and the Priest
Rapids project in Washington is expected to be underway in the fiscal
year 1957. W ork on the Cougar multiple-purpose project in Oregon,
begun as a Federal project in the fiscal year 1956, will continue in
1957 on a basis which, under pending partnership legislation, will
permit local interests to install power facilities and assure adaptation
of the power features to requirements of the city of Eugene.
This budget provides for starting construction on a number of new
projects which are already authorized and on which advance planning
has reached the stage where the design and scope of the m ajor struc
tures have been clearly determined, a firm estimate of cost has been
prepared, and a current analysis of economic justification shows a
favorable relationship between benefits and costs.
A supplemental appropriation is recommended for 1956 to enable
the Corps of Engineers to accelerate its flood-control work in the
Northeastern States and to reimburse the Corps for expenditures
made for relief work following the floods in August and October 1955.
The supplemental appropriation will allow 5 flood-control reservoirs
m 61
M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
to be started in the fiscal year 1956. Additional flood-control projects
for this area are included in the budget for 1957.

For the fiscal year 1957, I recommend that the Corps of Engineers
start work on 18 local flood-protection projects, 11 flood-control
reservoirs, 2 beach erosion projects, and a new power plant at the Fort
Peck Dam in Montana, all of which are authorized. I also recom
mend that the Bureau of Reclamation start work on 4 authorized
projects or major features to provide irrigation benefits and to utilize
available power at existing dams. The total cost of these authorized
projects recommended for starting in the fiscal year 1957 is estimated
at 189 million dollars, with first year expenditures of 10 million
dollars.
Some steps have been taken b y the Congress to enact legislation
authorizing the Bureau of Reclamation to construct the Upper Colo
rado River Basin and the Fryingpan-Arkansas developments. These
comprehensive developments are needed for irrigation, power, flood
control, and industrial and municipal water supply and are beyond
the capacity of local initiative, public or private. I again urge their
authorization and have made provision in this budget under proposed
legislation for their initiation. I also recommend authorization and
funds for the Bureau of Reclamation to initiate 3 other projects for
further development of water resources in the West. The estimated
total cost of the 5 proposed projects is 1.1 billion dollars, with 1957
expenditures estimated at 9 million dollars.
This budget includes 20 million dollars under proposed legislation
to enable the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation to
participate, in 1957, in new partnership water developments, such as
the Green Peter-White Bridge Reservoir in Oregon, the Bruces E ddy
Reservoir in Idaho, and the John D ay Reservoir in Washington and
Oregon. The proposed legislation would also authorize the Bureau
of Reclamation to assist local organizations by means of loans and
grants for small reclamation projects.
Budget recommendations provide for progress in the collection
of basic data on hydrology, topography, and other physical factors
needed in the planning and design of water development projects.
Investigations of proposed projects and advance planning of author
ized projects will go forward at rates which will provide for the orderly
development of needed water resources.

The Tennessee Valley Authority will continue work in the fiscal
year 1957 on steam-electric generation units started in 1955 and prior
years, under previous appropriations.
Since nearly all major hydroelectric sites in the Tennessee Valley
have now been developed, an additional steam-electric unit at the
John Sevier plant and two additional units at the Johnsonville plant
will be needed to meet currently anticipated power loads through the
calendar year 1958. There is pending before the Congress legislation
which the administration has proposed for financing steam-power
facilities of the T V A through the sale of revenue bonds. So that the
work may begin promptly, a starting supplemental appropriation for
1956 is recommended for the Sevier unit. Items are included in the
budget to finance the continuation of this work and initiate construc
tion of the Johnsonville units in 1957 with the proceeds of the revenue
bonds.
When these new units are completed, the Tennessee Valley Author
ity will have a capacity of 6.7 million kilowatts in its steam-electric
plants and 2.7 million kilowatts in its hydroelectric plants.
Construction will also begin in the fiscal year 1957 on a new naviga
tion lock at Wilson Dam. The present locks are structurally weak
and inadequate to handle growing traffic demands. The construc
tion will be financed from appropriated funds. The T V A will also
continue work in the development of the resources of the region in
cooperation with State and local agencies.
Under these recommendations, gross expenditures of the Tennessee
Valley Authority in the fiscal year 1957 are estimated to decline by
57 million dollars from the 1956 level, as construction nears completion
on power facilities underway. Receipts from operation are expected
to increase by 9 million dollars. As a result of these trends, it is
estimated that the Authority will have net receipts of 27 million
dollars in 1957 as compared with net expenditures of 39 million
dollars in 1956. It is expected that in 1957 the T V A will return to
the Treasury 75 million dollars from power revenues as repayment of

The recommendations for the National Park Service will provide
additional facilities and services to meet more adequately the require
ments of the constantly increasing number of visitors, which will ap
proximate 54 million in 1957. These recommendations move toward
realization of a comprehensive development plan to make possible the
accommodation of the estimated 80 million persons who will use areas
of the national park system by 1966.

Less than one-half million dollars.

M E SSA G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T
Similarly, to assure continued high levels of residential construction
we shall encourage private financing primarily through the use of
Government guaranties, insurance and other aids. As in the past,
direct Government expenditures will be confined to meeting those
housing and community needs which cannot be financed by private
enterprise alone. Accordingly, to stimulate balanced development of
local communities, this budget makes further proposals for removal
and prevention of slums, for housing for minority groups and for
older people, and for other special community needs. It also pro
vides for new measures to aid local communities with persistent
unemployment in discovering a sound basis for redevelopment, and
to help victims of future flood disasters rehabilitate themselves.
Gross expenditures for commerce and housing, including proposed
legislation, are estimated at 6.3 billion dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
Applicable receipts, chiefly for the Post Office and for various housing
programs, are estimated at 4.2 billion dollars. Net budget expendi
tures of 2.1 billion dollars will be less than in 1956 because of the
increases in postal rates which I am again proposing.
Highways.— Obviously, a greatly improved highway system is vital
for both economic development and national defense, as well as to
reduce traffic deaths and injuries. The Federal Government has a
special interest in completing as early as possible the 40,000 miles
of the Interstate Highway System, which connects major centers of
population and industry. Last February in a special message to the
Congress I endorsed the recommendation of an advisory committee
that the Federal Government assume the principal responsibility for
financing completion of this key highway network. This program is
even more urgently needed today.
I consider it essential that construction of the interstate system be
fully authorized now as a single integrated program in order that it
may be accomplished over a period of approximately 10 years with
the greatest economy. I am confident that the expanded program can
be soundly financed so as not to create budget deficits.
Pending final determination of the amounts involved for the Inter
state Highway System, therefore, the dollar estimates included in this
budget under proposed legislation cover only the continuance of the
present annual level of 875 million dollars in authorizations for Federalaid highways including 175 million dollars exclusively for the interstate
system. The budget also includes 22.5 million dollars for forest
highways, continuing the present level.
Expenditures for highways by the Department of Commerce and
the Department of the Interior under previous authorizations will
continue to rise to an estimated 844 million dollars in 1957. These
360000— 56-------v
m65
m
M E SS A G E OF T H E P R E S ID E N T

include additional grants under a supplemental authorization of 10
million dollars which I am proposing for the fiscal year 1956 in order
to rebuild Federal-aid highways damaged in last year’s widespread
floods.
Promotion oj aviation.— During the past 5 years, the rapidly ex
panding use of the Federal airway system and the increasing speeds
of both conventionally powered planes and military jet aircraft have
produced serious traffic congestion. T o maintain our high standards
of safety, aircraft have had to be delayed or flights canceled, with a
resulting heavy cost in time and m oney to both the operators and
users of the planes.
As a step in meeting the immediate problem, I am recommending
new authority to incur obligations of 40 million dollars in 1957. This
will enable the Department of Commerce to expand further the
capacity of the present airway system by installing greatly improved
air navigation and traffic control facilities.
T o keep pace with further advances in aviation, I shall shortly
initiate a comprehensive study of the N ation’s long-range needs for
aviation facilities. This study will take into account both civil and
military needs in order to avoid costly duplication of equipment and
systems. I shall expect it to point the way to the development, instal
lation and operation of the most efficient and economical air naviga
tion system within the capabilities of our technology.
In addition to the expenditures to expand the capacity of the air
way system, expenditures for operating the present airway system
must rise substantially to handle the expanding traffic, to operate new
facilities provided under earlier appropriations, and to take over
from the Department of Defense the costs of operating certain radar
installations serving common military-civilian needs. Federal grants
to help local communities build airports are also increasing as a
result of the legislation enacted last year. In total, expenditures of
the Civil Aeronautics Administration will rise b y an estimated 50 mil
lion dollars to 200 million dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
Subsidy payments b y the Civil Aeronautics Board to commercial
airlines will again be reduced in the fiscal year 1957 as a result of rising
profits of the carriers and continued vigilance of the Board in keeping
subsidy rates at the lowest possible level. These subsidies amounted
to 58 million dollars in the fiscal year 1955 and are estimated at 34
million dollars in 1957.

speeds, higher altitudes, and longer ranges. Accordingly, I am again
recommending an increase in the appropriations for this important
work.
Promotion oj water transportation.— The Department of Commerce
and the shipping industry have begun systematic replacement of the
merchant fleet built during W orld W ar II. Negotiations are now
underway with the operators to advance their ship construction plans
and to determine replacement schedules for the next 15 to 20 years.
Three long-term contracts have already been signed. The program
is designed to (1) assure a modern merchant fleet adequate for com
mercial and defense needs, (2) maintain the shipyard employment
and facilities which are essential to our mobilization base, and (3)
minimize construction costs b y avoiding peak demands. As next
year’s installment, I am recommending the funds necessary for con
struction subsidies and defense allowances for 22 new ships, as well
as trade-in allowances for the ships replaced. In addition, this budget
proposes appropriations for the design and construction of two new
types of cargo ships— types which could be produced cheaply and in
quantity in event of mobilization.
I am renewing for the fiscal year 1956 m y earlier recommendation
for a supplemental appropriation of 13 million dollars for the Com
merce Departm ent’s share of a nuclear-powered peace ship, to be built
jointly with the Atom ic Energy Commission. W ork on this ship
should go forward as rapidly as possible. M oreover, funds are in
cluded in the budget for a nuclear-powered merchant ship, to be built
over a longer period, incorporating experience gained from the peace
ship and from later research and development.
T o finance construction of both conventional and nuclear-powered
ships, I am recommending new authority to incur obligations for the
Department of Commerce of 165 million dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
Because of the long lead-time required for ship construction, only a
small part of this new authority will be spent in 1957; the anticipated
expenditures of 75 million dollars are mainly from appropriations
made for ship construction in earlier years. Operating subsidy
payments of 124 million dollars in 1957 are estimated to cover the
differences in selected costs between operating American-flag and
foreign ships.
Expenditures for navigation aids and facilities are rising as projects
recently initiated reach active construction phases. In addition to
providing for continuation of work by the Corps of Engineers on 61
projects started in prior years, this budget includes funds for starting
41 new authorized navigation projects including 28 small projects
costing less than 150,000 dollars each.

Funds were added by the Congress to the 1956 budget to begin
construction of Eufaula Reservoir and Dardanelle lock and dam.
This would, in effect, commit the Federal Government to a cost of
over 1 billion dollars for the development of the Arkansas River for
navigation, since the major benefits from these two structures would
not be realized until the entire navigation development is completed.
I regard the development of the Arkansas River for navigation as not
being of sufficiently high priority at this time to justify this large
financial commitment. Therefore, I am not requesting funds for
continuation of work on these two structures.
Postal service.— The Post Office Department is progressing steadily
toward its goal of a better postal service at lower costs. Decen
tralization of management into 15 regions, first recommended in 1908,
has finally been accomplished, permitting decisions by experienced
field personnel able to understand the needs of their customers.
Changes in laws and personnel policies have encouraged better use
of staff and brought new incentives for employee efficiency. Overhaul
of the Departm ent’s fiscal operations has eliminated nearly 5,000
needless positions, speeded up information required for good manage
ment, and reduced backlogs of all types, including a 2-year backlog
in overdue railroad and airline claims. W e have begun to acquire,
through long-term leases and the recently enacted lease-purchase
authority, modern postal buildings and other facilities long needed
to speed up and reduce the cost of handling the ever-increasing
volume of mail.
Despite these achievements, the Post Office Department cannot be
self-sustaining if it pays salaries, transportation rates, and other
costs based upon 1956 conditions, but must continue to charge rates
which were largely determined before Pearl Harbor. The postal
deficit of 467 million dollars estimated for the fiscal year 1957 repre
sents a subsidy averaging more than 15 cents per dollar of postal
service. Legislation is again being proposed that would initially in
crease postal revenues by 350 million dollars a year. Legislation is also
being proposed to pay the Department for services to certain groups
which it is now required to perform either free or at greatly reduced
rates.
I urge prompt congressional action on this legislation, which will
drastically reduce the 1957 postal deficit and will make it possible for
the postal service to become self-supporting in subsequent years.
Community development and jacilities.— The great population growth
in the past 15 years and the accompanying shifts— from farms to
cities, from rural communities to metropolitan areas, and from central
M ESSAGE
OF

P R E S ID E N T
cities to suburbs— have accelerated the decay o f large sections o f our
m ajor cities, and caused m any m etropolitan areas and small towns to
outgrow their basic facilities.
W ith the help o f Federal grants and loans for slum clearance and
urban renewal, m ajor progress in rem oving urban blight is in sight for
the first time. B y the end o f the fiscal year 1957, an estim ated 233
com m unities will have w orkable plans providing for a wide range of
local actions needed to prevent or eliminate slums. Such plans are
n ow required as a condition o f Federal assistance for urban renewal.
In these and other cities 49 specific projects will have been com pleted
b y the end o f 1957; 237 other redevelopm ent projects will be actively
underw ay; and 112 projects will be in the planning stage. N et
expenditures, chiefly for grants and loans, will increase to 74 million
dollars; these include the additional grants for com m u nity planning
b y m etropolitan areas and smaller cities under legislation that will be
proposed to increase the present lim ited program .
Substantial increases are also expected in the fiscal year 1957 in loans
to small com m unities for building public facilities and in advances to
local governm ents for planning public works. A dditional appropria
tions for planning advances are recom m ended for 1957.
As part of the new program to assist in the industrial redevelop
m ent of chronic labor surplus areas, I am proposing revisions in the
present urban renewal and other com m u nity facilities legislation.
The main emphasis in these program s, how ever, should continue to
be im provem ent o f the homes and living environm ent o f our families.
Public housing .■— C ontinued Federal assistance for low -rent public
housing will be necessary in 1957 to m eet the m ost critical needs o f
low -incom e families. A n increasing num ber o f such families will be
displaced b y the clearance o f slums and b y the enforcem ent o f housing
codes under the growing urban renewal program . I am, consequently,
recom m ending that the P u blic H ousing A dm inistration be authorized
to enter into annual contributions contracts with local hQUsing
authorities for an additional 35,000 dwelling units a year for 2 years.
In addition, I urge that the Congress restore the provisions o f the
H ousing A c t o f 1954, repealed in 1955, which lim ited new public
housing to com m unities w ith w orkable program s for the prevention
and elim ination o f slums, or with slum clearance projects underway.
A s the num ber o f older people in our popu lation has increased,
action to m eet their special housing needs has becom e highly im por
tant. Several adm inistrative steps have already been taken in the
p ublic housing program . In addition, legal restrictions on admission
to public housing projects should be am ended to provide a lim ited
preference to elderly low -incom e families, as well as to perm it adm is
sion o f elderly single persons.

Gross expenditures for public housing program s, chiefly fo r co n
struction loans and paym ent o f annual contributions to local housing
authorities, are estim ated at 598 m illion dollars in 1957. R eceipts,
m ostly from private refinancing of Federal loans, are estim ated at 515
m illion dollars, leaving net expenditures o f 83 m illion dollars.
Other aids to housing .— A pplications for insurance o f m ortgages and
hom e im provem en t loans b y the Federal H ousing A dm inistration
under its regular program s are expected to continue in the fiscal years
1956 and 1957 close to the 1955 levels. In addition, applications for
the special urban renewal m ortgage insurance authorized b y the
H ousing A ct o f 1954 are expected to rise from less than 2,000 units
in 1955 to 75,000 units in 1957.
T o m ake this full program possible, legislation will be required to
increase the present m ortgage insurance authority. T h e authority
to insure hom e im provem ent loans, n ow scheduled to expire on
Septem ber 30, 1956, should be m ade perm anent and broadened to
assure effective Federal assistance in the national cam paign to reha
bilitate and m odernize existing housing. A m endm ents are also needed
to encourage construction o f private units for rental or sale to elderly
persons.
T h e D epartm en t o f D efense expects to arrange for financing and
construction of 100,000 m ilitary housing units during 1956 and 1957
under new m ortgage insurance authorized b y the H ousing A m en d
ments of 1955. This insurance authority should be extended beyon d
the present expiration date o f Septem ber 30, 1956.
T h e Federal N ational M ortgage A ssociation will m ake com m itm ents
for im m ediate or deferred purchases o f 423 m illion dollars in m ortgages
insured under the urban renewal, armed services, coop erative, and
other especially urgent housing program s w hich I have specifically
designated. Sales o f m ortgages together w ith repaym ents and other
receipts, how ever, are expected to be 255 m illion dollars greater than
expenditures.
In addition, purchases o f m ortgages b y the A ssociation under its
secon dary m arket program are expected to increase in 1957 to 290
m illion dollars. E xcep t fo r tem porary Treasury loans, the funds
required will be obtained from sale o f debentures and stock to private
investors, and the purchases are shown as trust expenditures, rather
than budget expenditures. B y the end o f the fiscal year 1957, private
purchases of stock will have m ade an excellent start tow ard the goal
of replacing a G overnm ent a ctivity w ith a private com pany.
One o f the m ost successful measures authorized b y the H ousing
A ct o f 1954 is the V olu n tary H om e M ortga ge C redit Program .
U nder this program , applications to the Veterans A dm inistration for
direct loans and to the Federal N ational M ortgage A ssociation for
M ESSAGE
OF
THE
P R E S ID E N T
m ortgage purchases are referred to private lenders. This program
has already m ade conspicuous achievem ents in encouraging private
financing o f housing for m em bers o f m in ority groups and other
borrow ers in credit-short areas. M oreover, the rapidly increasing
volum e o f veterans housing m ortgages placed privately has m ade it
unnecessary to use a large part o f the additional authority provided
for direct housing loans. N et expenditures for the veterans loan
program , consequently, are expected to show on ly a m inor increase
to 71 m illion dollars in the fiscal year 1957.
College housing .— Th e H ousing A m endm ents o f 1955, w hich broa d
ened and increased the authority for college housing loans, also re
duced the m axim um interest rate to 2% percent and required use o f
private financing on ly if it were available at the same low interest
rate. A s a result, the G overnm ent is required to m ake long-term
loans at a low er interest rate than the rate at w hich it can b orrow
for com parable maturities.
These am endm ents have eliminated all possibility o f private
financing, w hich cannot com pete w ith these interest rates, save for
the earliest maturities of tax-exem pt issues. M a n y larger institutions,
w hich previously obtained private funds at reasonable rates, have now
filed applications for G overnm ent loans. N et reservations o f funds
are estim ated to increase from 21 m illion dollars in 1955 to 211 m illion,
dollars in 1956 and 120 m illion dollars in 1957, exhausting the avail
able lending authority. M o st o f the im pact on expenditures will n ot
be felt until 1958.
T h e Federal G overnm ent should help colleges and universities
m eet the urgent housing problem s which rapid grow th in enrollm ent
will prod u ce over the next decade. T h e program , as revised in 1955,
how ever, does n ot serve the best interests o f either the colleges or the
taxpayers. F or the sake o f a m odest saving in interest costs, it w ould
destroy the prom ising private m arket for these obligations. This pri
vate m arket will be sorely needed, for the G overnm ent cannot be
expected to su pply the full or even the greater part o f the estim ated 2
to 4 billion dollars needed for dorm itories over the next decade. T h e
adm inistration is accordingly recom m ending legislation which will
increase the total authorization b y 100 million dollars for 1957, but
allow interest rates adequate to cover costs to the G overnm ent. I
hope that this will encourage private lenders to reenter this expanding
m arket.
Other aids to business— present programs.— In addition to other appro
priations required to finance the broad range o f existing aids to busi
ness, I am recom m ending increased appropriations for the Patent
m71
m72
M ESSAGE
OF

P R E S ID E N T
Office in the D epartm en t o f C om m erce to begin a system atic 8-year
program that w ould reduce the b acklog o f patent applications to a
m ore reasonable level. I believe that the Congress should also enact
legislation increasing patent fees so that the Patent Office can be m ore
nearly self-supporting.
T h rou gh the Small Business A dm inistration, w e shall continue to
help small business concerns obtain access to adequate financing,
to a fair share of G overnm ent procurem ent, and to com petent counsel
on m anagem ent, p roduction, and m arketing problem s.
I also recom m end im provem ents in construction statistics so that
m ore accurate data can be supplied to business, labor, and gov ern
m ent on m ajor changes in this vital industry.
Area redevelopment.— A ll o f us are greatly concerned because certain
chronic labor surplus areas are n ot sharing in our general prosperity.
T h e prim ary responsibility for prom oting the econ om ic redevelopm ent
o f these areas rests w ith the local com m u nity and the States. H o w ever, I believe that the Federal G overnm ent should give m uch broader
assistance than is possible under present law. A ccord in gly, the
adm inistration is recom m ending new legislation authorizing Federal
loans and grants, in cooperation with the States, to assist com m unities
suffering from substantial and persistent unem ploym ent. U nder this
program the Secretary o f C om m erce w ould take the lead fo r the
Federal G overnm ent, utilizing also the facilities of the D epartm en t of
L abor, the H ousing and H om e Finance A gen cy, and other
interested agencies.
Regulation of commerce and finance .— As our econ om y grows and
becom es m ore com plex, the responsibilities o f Federal agencies regu
lating business also increase. W hile the am ount o f m on ey required
to finance these agencies is relatively small, their influence on econ om ic
grow th is very significant. In this budget I am recom m ending in
creased appropriations to strengthen every m a jor regulatory program ,
including specific increases to (1) triple the staff o f the Federal T rad e
C om m ission charged w ith enforcing controls over corporate m ergers;
(2) assure effective review b y the D epartm en t o f Justice o f possible
antitrust aspects o f the new ly authorized interstate com pacts for the
con servation of oil and gas; (3) provide for m ore adequate review b y
the Securities and E xchange Com m ission o f the vast new capital

offerings and the increased trading in securities; and (4) im prove
enforcem ent b y the Interstate C om m erce Com m ission o f m otor carrier
regulations and assure better com pliance w ith safety regulations.
T o continue the export controls necessary for our national security,
the existing legislation should be extended.
Disaster insurance , loans, and relief.— Th e flood disasters during the
past year in the N ortheastern States, the Far W est, and other areas
have shown the urgent need for increased assistance to the victim s
of floods. Since private insurance is n ot generally available, legisla
tion should be enacted authorizing, on an experim ental basis, an
indem nity and reinsurance program , under which the financial burden
resulting from flood dam age w ould be carried join tly b y the indi
viduals protected, the States, and the Federal G overnm ent. Th e
budget includes an estimate o f 100 m illion dollars o f new authority
to incur obligations to initiate such a program .
I am requesting a supplem ental appropriation o f 25 m illion dollars
in the current fiscal year to replenish the disaster relief fund which
was depleted as a result o f the recent flood disasters. It will also be
necessary to am end the Small Business A ct to increase the authority

GENERAL GOVERNMENT
General governm ent program s include m any of the traditional
dom estic, civil activities of governm ent, as well as certain governm entwide activities, such as personnel and p roperty m anagem ent, which
cannot readily be allocated to any single category. Our prim ary
ob jective is to perform these central activities efficiently and thus
reduce the cost of all the services provided to our citizens for their
tax dollars.
N et expenditures for general governm ent program s are expected to
increase b y 146 m illion dollars to 1.8 billion dollars, largely because
of (1) increased outlays to replace or im prove inadequate G overn
m ent buildings and (2) a larger paym ent to the retirem ent fund for
civilian em ployees,

Legislative junctions .— D uring the fiscal year 1957 construction o f
the new Senate Office B uilding will be alm ost com pleted and a sub
stantial start will be m ade on b oth the new H ouse Office B uildin g and
the extension o f the C apitol authorized b y the Congress at its last
session. These new facilities account fo r the increase in estim ated
expenditures for legislative activities from 87 m illion dollars in 1956
to 111 m illion dollars in 1957.
Federal financial management.— Th e reorganization o f the Internal
R even u e Service and the adoption- o f im proved m ethods and p ro
cedures have led to a m ore equitable and effective enforcem ent o f the
revenue laws, T h e audit o f tax returns has been im proved and m ore
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
delinquent taxes have been collected. I t is expected that in the fiscal
year 1957 the efficiency o f tax collection will be im proved even further,
w ithou t a significant increase in expenditures for this purpose.
I urge that the Congress enact pending legislation to reduce the
frequen cy o f inform ation returns subm itted b y em ployers w ithholding
incom e and social security taxes. This legislation will sim plify tax
procedures for b oth the G overnm ent and the em ployers, and will also
provide a basis for stronger enforcem ent o f the tax laws.
General property and records management.— In the fiscal year 1957,
m ajor increases are planned in expenditures fo r construction and im
provem ent o f G overnm ent buildings to increase the efficiency of
G overnm ent operations. T o this end I am recom m ending appropria
tions to enlarge and rem odel certain buildings and to begin the longneeded air con dition ing o f buildings in areas where tem perature and
hu m idity conditions are m ost adverse to econ om ic operation. A d d i
tional appropriations are also recom m ended for the new building
p reviously authorized for the Central Intelligence A gen cy, and, as
n oted in other sections o f this message, for extension o f the D epartm en t
o f State building and for new buildings for the N ational B ureau of
Standards.
W hile these recom m endations in volve substantial appropriations o f
Federal funds, m ost o f the Federal building im provem ent program will
be financed w ith private funds under the lease-purchase authority o f
the General Services A dm inistration and the P ost Office D epartm ent.
A lready 53 p rojects involvin g private financing o f construction costing
105 m illion dollars have been approved, and additional projects in v olv
ing about 250 m illion dollars are under consideration. A dditional
appropriations o f 5 m illion dollars are requested to purchase sites and
prepare plans for future projects.
This program as a w hole will m ake a substantial start tow ard
nationw ide im provem ent in w orking conditions o f Federal em ployees.
In the W ashington area alone, buildings already approved or under
consideration for approval will perm it relocation o f a bou t one-third o f
the 60,000 em ployees now w orking in tem porary and other substandard
buildings.
Central personnel management and employment costs.— T h e G overn
m en t’s paym ents to the retirem ent funds for civilian em ployees are
estim ated at 297 m illion dollars in 1957, o f which 295 m illion dollars
will be for the civil service retirem ent trust fund and 2 m illion dollars
for special annuitants. T h e proposed contribution to the retirem ent

fu n d will be equivalent to the G overn m en t’s share o f benefit paym ents
to be m ade from the fund during the fiscal year 1957. This con tribu
tion constitutes 35 percent o f the sum estim ated to be required to fun d
(1) the G overn m en t’s part o f the norm al cost for current service o f
Federal em ployees, and (2) annual interest on the existing accrued
liability o f the G overnm ent to the fund.
U nem ploym ent com pensation paym ents to individuals w ho becom e
eligible through Federal em ploym ent are estim ated at 33 m illion
dollars, about the same am ount as in the fiscal year 1956. A s the
current 1956 appropriation provides on ly 20 m illion dollars, a supple
m ental appropriation will be requested.
A ccid en t com pensation paym ents to Federal em ployees and the
related adm inistrative expenses o f the D epartm en t o f L a b o r are
estim ated to continue at 50 million dollars in both 1956 and 1957. T o
encourage precautionary safety measures, the adm inistration will
p ropose legislation w hich will provide, in con form ity w ith the best
business practices, that em ploying agencies shall bear the cost of
benefits paid for their em ployees.
Civilian weather services.— I am recom m ending for the fiscal year
1957 additional appropriations for the W eather Bureau to strengthen
further its hurricane and tornado research program and to p rovid e
m ore storm detection radar. T h e budget also provides for additional
equipm ent to measure visibility on airport runways and for needed
im provem ents in housing at rem ote weather stations.
Protective services and alien control.•— Increased appropriations are
recom m ended to strengthen the border patrol operations o f the
Im m igration and N aturalization Service, prim arily on our southern
border. T h e Federal Bureau o f In vestigation will continue at its
present em ploym ent level.
I shall recom m end a supplem ental appropriation for the C om m is
sion on G overnm ent Security which has recen tly been established to
stu dy the entire G overnm ent security program .
Territories and possessions and District of Columbia.— I am recom
m ending legislation to authorize an increase o f 2 m illion dollars in
the Federal paym ent to the D istrict o f C olum bia. This represents
a reasonable Federal share o f the increased cost o f operating the
govern m en t o f our C apital C ity.
Legislation will also be proposed to carry ou t a treaty and agree

endeavors m ay be p rom oted and national recognition fo r distinguished
civilian contributions to the advancem ent o f the arts and the welfare
o f mankind m ay be given.

Interest on the 'public debt.— Interest paym ents on the public d ebt in
the fiscal year 1957 are estim ated at 7 billion dollars. Th is is an
increase o f 200 million dollars over estim ated expenditures for the
current fiscal year and 630 m illion dollars above actual expenditures
in 1955.
T h e high level o f prosperity has created a h eavy dem and for credit
b y private enterprises. A s a result the average rate payable on the
interest-bearing public debt has risen during the last 12 m onths from
2.29 percent to 2.49 percent at present, and maturing obligations are
being refinanced at the higher rates prevailing in the m on ey m arket.
T h e adm inistration is recom m ending legislation so that the interest
paid to the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund will
reflect m ore closely the long-term character o f investm ents b y that

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
CONCLUSION
This is the third b udget I have transm itted to the Congress.
A s a result o f the substantial redaction s in G overnm ent expendi
tures m ade b y the adm inistration subsequent to assuming office, I
n oted in the first o f these three budgets— for the fiscal year 1955—
th at a b ud get surplus was actually in sight. H ow ever, so th a t part
o f our savings through econom ies during th at transitional period
cou ld be passed along to the taxpayers o f the N ation as a whole, with
beneficial effects for the grow th o f our econ om y, I stated that I
believed it best “ to adopt a course leading tow ard the twin goals o f
a balanced budget and tax redu ction s.”
T a x reduction was thus achieved w ith the adm inistration’s first
b udget, w hich m ade possible a 7.4-billion-dollar tax reduction p ro
gram , enabling us to m ake progress o f historic dim ensions in reducing
tax burdens and im proving the tax structure.
A balanced budget is now being achieved in the adm inistration’s
second and third budgets, b oth o f w hich we n ow estim ate will be
b rou gh t into balance.
T his course o f G overnm ent p o licy has helped to la y a sound basis
for the greatest volu m e o f business, the highest em ploym ent, and the
highest national incom e in the history o f this cou n try. As an essen
tial elem ent in this p rosperity, private spending has m ore than replaced
reductions in Federal spending. Federal expenditures have declined
from 20.6 percent o f total national p rodu ction in the fiscal year 1953
to 17.3 percent in 1955. This budget is designed to continue that
trend.
W e have freed the econ om y from needless controls and from
inflationary deficits, and have reduced the tax burdens w hich
threatened to destroy the incentives to w ork and save and invest.
State and local governm ents are now in an excellent position to
obtain revenues and m eet their responsibilities.
T h is b ud get carries forw ard the policies this adm inistration has
been follow ing in the interest o f all our 167 m illion A m ericans. T h e
success o f our cou n try depends n o t u pon centralized G overnm ent
con trol, b u t u pon the efforts o f all our people to do m ore for themselves,
to b etter themselves, their families, and com m unities. T h e role o f
G overnm en t is to encourage these efforts.
Som e parts of our society, how ever, have n ot shared fu lly in the
present prosperity o f A m erica. This b ud get provides for new steps
to help create the conditions under w hich all Am ericans m a y share
in the abundance we as a nation are enjoyin g.
There has also been developed an arm ed strength m ore efficient
and better organized than ever before, and we shall continue building
our defenses. W e have started a w orldw ide, cooperative effort for
peaceful uses o f atom ic energy w hich is already beginning to show

results. W e have w orked with other free countries on a m utual
basis to increase their econ om ic and m ilitary strength and will con
tinue to w ork with them . Our future prosperity, perhaps our very
survival, will be linked with the strength o f our allies and in the
developm ent o f g ood will rather than fear and distrust am ong the
nations.
This N ation has reached a new high o f m aterial prosperity. The
rest of the free w orld has com e to expect our leadership in cooperative
efforts for peace and in defense o f our com m on liberties. W e should be
v ery thankful for the resources o f this country, for the efforts and
accom plishm ents o f our forebears. W e should also be v ery humble.
A m erica m ust continue to be the land o f faith, o f prom ise, and of
unbounded op portu n ity. There is m uch y e t to do. W ith G o d ’s

P art I o f the b udget (pp. A l to a 1 3 ) contains seven
sum m ary tables on Federal funds and on the public debt.
E ach o f these tables is designed to bring together in 1
or 2 pages som e overall aspect o f the Federal budget.
TYPES OF FEDERAL FUNDS
T h e Federal (G overnm ent-ow n ed) funds are o f four
types as follow s:
T h e general fund is credited w ith receipts w hich are n ot
earmarked b y law for a specific purpose, and is charged
with expenditures that are p ayable from appropriations
(except appropriations o f earm arked receipts) and those
p ayable from borrow ing. B o th in num ber o f items and
in am ounts, m ost o f the G overn m en t’s business is trans
acted through the general fund.
Special funds are those w hich are established to account
fo r receipts that are earm arked b y law for a specific pur
pose. T h e y exclude the funds w hich carry on a cycle of
operations for w hich there is continuing authority to
use the receipts (as described in the next paragraph).
Som e special funds are su bject to annual appropriation
b y Congress. Others are autom atically available under
the laws which created the funds.
Revolving funds are those w hich finance a cycle of
operations, in w hich the expenditures generate receipts
w hich are available for con tinuing use. T h e y are divided
into tw o subcategories— those w ith receipts prim arily
from outside the G overn m en t are called public enterprise
funds, and those w ith receipts prim arily from inside the
G overn m en t are called intragovernmental funds. T h e
form er include nearly all o f the G overn m en t corporations,
the postal fund, and various unincorporated enterprises.
T h e latter include various funds for stock ing o f supplies,
for printing operations, and for the perform ance o f services
to m eet the G ov ern m en t’s ow n needs.
Management funds (including consolidated working
funds) are those w hich are created to perm it the pooling
o f advance paym ents from tw o or m ore appropriations
to carry ou t certain activities.
BUDGET SURPLUS, DEFICIT, AND PUBLIC DEBT
Budget surplus and deficit.— T h e budget surplus or
deficit, shown in table 1, represents the difference be
tween the net budget receipts and net budget expenditures o f
a given year. Cash balances, appropriation balances, and
surpluses and deficits o f previous years are n ot a part of
the calculation.
The public debt.— T a b le 4 gives details regarding the
effect o f each y ea r’s operations u pon the p ublic debt.
T h e bud get surplus or deficit is n ot the on ly fa ctor which
causes a change in the p u b lic debt. T h e am ount neces
sary to borrow or p ossibly to rep ay is also influenced b y :
Changes in cash balances, the result o f trust fund trans
actions, the use o f G overnm en t corporation borrow ing
d irectly from the p u blic as a means o f financing budget
expenditures o f the corporation s (and the repaym ents
o f such borrow in g as an application o f public enterprise
fund receipts), and the change in the am ount o f checks
outstanding and other item s in process o f clearance
through the accounts.
BUDGET RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES
Basis oj stating budget receipts.— T able 1 includes a
sum m ary o f budget receipts. Such receipts include all
a2
m on ey paid into the Treasury to the credit o f the general
fund and o f special funds. B u dget receipts never include
m on ey obtained from borrow ing. N or do budget receipts
include receipts o f revolvin g and m anagem ent funds,
since these receipts are dedu cted from their expenditures.
Gross budget receipts represent the total received for the
general and special funds. In those cases where the law
provides an indefinite appropriation to a trust fund in an
am ount equal to certain tax receipts (the old-age and
survivors insurance trust fund and the railroad retirem ent
accou n t), the am ount thereof is shown as a dedu ction
from gross receipts. R efunds o f receipts are also deducted
in arriving at net budget receipts.
Internal revenue and custom s receipts are stated on the
basis o f collections reported b y collecting officers. Other
receipts are reported on the basis o f confirm ed deposits.
Basis oj stating budget expenditures.— T ables 1, 2, 5,
and 7 include inform ation on budget expenditures. Such
expenditures cover the general fund, the special funds,
and the revolvin g and m anagem ent funds. In som e
tables expenditures are stated on a gross as well as a net
basis. T h e difference betw een these tw o bases is in the
group o f p ublic enterprise funds. F o r such funds, the
gross basis covers the total sums expended, while the net
basis consists o f the expenditures less the receipts o f such
funds. (Like budget receipts, p u b lic enterprise fun d re
ceipts never include m on ey obtained from borrow in g.)
T h e gross figures used here fo r the p u b lic enterprise funds
are derived from the business-type b udget statem ents o f
part II, w hich show expenditures and receipts on an ac
crual basis w ith a single adjustm ent (on either the expendi
ture or receipt side b u t n o t b o th ) for the conversion from
an accrual to a checks-issued basis. Therefore, the gross
figures used for such funds are n o t strictly on a checksissued basis, although the n et result is on such a basis.
T h e checks-issued basis o f stating expenditures, w hich
is used regularly for net expenditures o f the public enter
prise funds and for the expenditures o f all other fund
groups, means that expenditures are reported for the
fiscal year in w hich the checks are issued, regardless o f
when the obligation was incurred or the goods and services
received. M odification s in this basis are m ade as follow s:
(a) W here paym ent is m ade in cash instead o f b y check,
the cash paym ents are an expenditure; ( b) where paym en t
is m ade b y the issuance o f bonds or b y an increase in their
redem ption value, instead o f b y the issuance o f checks, the
bon d issuance is an expenditure; and (c) interest on the
public debt, other than increases in the redem ption values
o f savings bonds, is reported on an accrual basis. In ter
agency paym ents and reim bursem ents, including those
going into intragovernm ental revolvin g and m anagem ent
funds are n etted ; that is, to avoid double coun tin g th ey
are treated on ly as expenditures o f the agency whose
appropriation or fund is u ltim ately bearing the charge.
Som e incidental reim bursem ents from outside the G o v
ernm ent are similarly netted ou t o f all expenditure figures.
R etirem ent o f G overnm ent debt, b oth direct d ebt and
G overnm ent corporation debt, is always excluded from
budget expenditure figures. Sim ilarly, the investm ents
in U nited States G overn m en t securities (w hich occu r
som etim es in the case o f G overn m en t corporations) are
excluded from the expenditure figures.
Eliminations from both receipts and expenditures.— C er
tain paym ents from one fun d to another are elim inated
a3
SUMMARY TABLES
from budget receipts and expenditures. This is done to
a void inflating b oth sides o f the budget. Paym ents to the
general fund o f earnings and dividends on capital o f
revolvin g funds, and the return o f such capital to the
general fund are the items so excluded.
tures chargeable to budget authorizations is equal to the
portion o f the authorizations credited to the revolving
fund during the year. T h e rem ainder o f the revolvin g and
m anagem ent fund expenditures (or negative expenditures)
are here classified as being charges or credits to balances
o f such funds.
BUDGET AUTHORIZATIONS
T a ble 3 summarizes the budget authorizations available
and their disposition. T able 5 gives a breakdow n b y
a gency o f the new authorizations becom in g available each
year, and table 7 gives supplem entary inform ation on the
balances at start and end of the year.
The obligation basis.— E xpenditures can be m ade on ly
pursuant to appropriations or other authorizations granted
b y Congress. G overnm ent agencies are generally per
m itted b y law to incur obligations requiring the future
p aym ent of m on ey on ly when th ey have an appropriation
or other authorization available fo r the purpose. T here
fore, authorizations are enacted to cover obligations
expected to be incurred within the fiscal year rather than
to cover on ly the expenditures w hich are expected to be
m ade during that year in paym ent o f obligations.
Distinction between permanent and current authoriza
tions.— Tables 3 and 5 distinguish permanent authoriza
tions and current authorizations. T h e perm anent items
are those under w hich additional sums becom e available
from tim e to tim e under action previously taken b y the
C ongress; no further action is required each year. M o s t
perm anent authorizations are in force until repealed; a
few are in effect for on ly a few years as specified in the
law. T h e current authorizations are those enacted b y
Congress in or im m ediately preceding each fiscal year.
Balances.— M a n y budget authorizations are available
for obligation for on ly 1 year, but som e are available for
longer periods of time. E ven those w hich expire fo r ob li
gation at the end of 1 year rem ain available for m aking
expenditures in paym ent of such obligations for an a dd i
tional 2 years, and further expenditures can be m ade
later in paym ent o f such obligations from the certiHed
claims accou n t o f the Treasury. In the case o f salaries
and wages, travel, and like items, the lag between obliga
tions and expenditures is usually no m ore than a few weeks
or a few m onths. In the case of construction, m ajor p ro
curem ent, certain research contracts and similar items, the
lag between obligations and expenditures m ay be as m uch
as 1 or 2 years, and som etim es is even longer. F o r some
revolvin g funds and certain other purposes, Congress
has granted obligational authority well in advance of
specific requirem ents, as a means o f p rovidin g for co n
tingencies w hich m a y arise. As a result of the foregoing
factors, substantial balances of budget authorizations are
carried forw ard from one year to the next. Such balances
are n ot in the form of cash, but are bookkeepin g authority
for the incurring of obligations or the m aking o f expendi
tures, for w hich cash m ust be p rovided through channels
o f financial m anagem ent at the tim e the expenditures
occur.
Relating expenditures to authorizations.— Tables 3 and 6
summarize the relationship between budget authoriza
tions and budget expenditures. B ecause old and new
authorizations are b y law com m ingled in som e o f the
accounts, no attem pt is m ade in the sum m ary figures to
separate actual spending in 1955 between the use o f new
authorizations and the use o f balances. H ow ever, the
budget presents such a breakdow n on an estim ated basis
for 1956 and 1957. In the case of revolvin g and m anage
m ent funds, it assumes that the portion of their expendi
TYPES OF NEW OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY
Appropriations are authorizations to m ake expenditures
from the general fund o f the Treasury or from the various
special funds. In som e cases the authority to incur ob li
gations has previously been granted in the form o f co n
tract authorizations; in such cases, the appropriation to
perm it the paym ent o f such obligations is said to be to
liquidate contract authorizations. In all other cases app ro
priations confer authority both to incur new obligations
and to p a y for them.
Contract authorizations are authorizations to incur ob li
gations prior to the enactm ent of an appropriation. A
con tract authorization does n ot in itself perm it the spend
ing o f m on ey; hence it m ust be follow ed b y an app ro
priation to perm it paym ent o f the contracts and other
obligations thus incurred.
Authorizations to expend from debt receipts are authori
zations to m ake expenditures from borrow ed m oney.
Such authorizations m a y take these fo rm s : (a) A u th oriza
tions for the Treasury to m ake public debt receipts avail
able to a given agency or enterprise, often in exchange for
notes o f the enterprise; (b) authorizations for a G ov ern
m ent-ow ned corporation to borrow directly from the p u b
lic; and (c) cancellation o f notes which have been issued
b y a G overnm ent enterprise and are held b y the Treasury,
where the cancellation has the effect o f perm itting further
expenditures to be m ade (through restoring previou sly
used authority to b orrow from the T reasury).
Reappropriations and reauthorizations are actions to
continue available part or all o f the unused balances o f
prior appropriations or authorizations which w ould
otherwise expire. W h en the authorizations thus con
tinued had been previously granted for current operations
o f the year, the continuation o f their availability into a
new year constitutes new obligational authority.
Total new obligational authority shown in table 3 is the

Part II contains the details of the budget for Federal
funds, including various types of tables and schedules,
explanatory statem ents of the w ork to be perform ed and
the m on ey needed, and the text of the language proposed
for enactm ent b y Congress on each item of authorization.
Included herein is also material on funds of the m unicipal
governm ent of the D istrict of C olum bia, and a few other
trust funds which require congressional action. Th e con
tents of part I I are arranged in chapters reflecting the
organization of the G overnm ent.

AND
BALANCES
A t the beginning of each chapter a table in large type
summarizes budget authorizations available, and a second
table summarizes expenditures and other dispositions of
the am ounts available. B oth tables segregate the items
proposed for form al transmission to Congress later as sup
plemental estimates from those items already enacted or
form ally recom m ended in this docum ent. Supplementals
required for 1956 due to p ay act legislation enacted last
summer are identified separately here and in the detail.
Summary of budget authorizations available.— -This sum
m ary indicates the totals of each typ e of new obligational
authority for the year, the totals of the various types of
balances brought forw ard into the year, and any interchapter transfers or net upw ard adjustm ents of budget
authorizations. T h e various types of authorizations are
explained in the introduction to part I (pp. a2 and a3).
Summary of expenditures and balances.— This summary
indicates the total expenditures for the chapter, the p or
tion of the unspent available am ounts w hich ceases to be
available during or at the close of the year, and the
balances carried forw ard into the next year.
F or the years 1956 and 1957, there are estim ated the
portion of the expenditures which will com e out of
appropriations or other authorizations granted b y
Congress for that year, and the portion which will com e
from perm anent authorizations and from balances of
prior authorizations brought into the year. A dditional
entries are used where required for expenditures which
will com e from appropriations m ade to liquidate prior
contract authorizations, and for expenditures from
balances and receipts of revolving and m anagem ent funds.
Because old and new authorizations are com m ingled in
some accounts, no attem pt is m ade in the sum m ary
figures to separate actual spending in 1955 between old
and new authorizations.
In preparing the estimates for 1956 and 1957, it is
generally assumed that prior year balances available in
com m ingled accounts will be obligated before the new
authorizations are obligated, and that expenditures will
reflect the liquidation of those obligations on the basis of
previous experience. W here the obligation and expendi
ture are simultaneous, the first-in, first-out m ethod is
used to assign expenditures between old and new authori
zations. In the case of revolvin g funds where budgetary
authorizations are com m ingled with receipts, it is assumed
that authorizations are expended in an am ount equal to
the sums placed in the revolvin g fund during the year, and
that the rem aining expenditures or net collections are a
charge or credit to balances of the fund.
Summaries of balances.— A t the b ottom o f the foregoing
summaries, there is given {a) a further analysis of the
authorization balances w hich are carried forw ard each
year, indicating the respective am ounts w hich are ob li
gated and u n obligated ; and (b) a further analysis of the
am ounts written off or otherwise ceasing to be available
each year, indicating the m anner o f writeoff.

ACCOUNT
A sum m ary listing of the organization units in each
chapter shows the new obligational authority and expen di
tures for each. The detailed listing which follow s is
divided in several sections: Current authorizations (other
than those for revolving and m anagem ent funds), perm a
nent authorizations, revolving and m anagem ent funds, and
supplemental items proposed for later transmission.
T ypes o f authorizations other than appropriations are
set forth under the applicable appropriation titles, identi
fied b y separate stub entries. Functional code num bers
appear in a separate colum n, indicating the category in the
functional tables (special analyses C and L o f part IV )
where each item has been included.
T w o deductions appear at the end o f the table. One
deduction, in the authorization column, covers the appro
priations which are to liquidate contract authorizations
and hence to be excluded in arriving at new obligational
authority. The other deduction, in the expenditure
colum n, is for receipts of public enterprise funds, to be
subtracted in arriving at net budget expenditures.
A separate double-page table is used for revolvin g and
m anagem ent funds. A ppropriations and other budgetary
authorizations to use general fund m on ey for revolving
funds are shown in this section. It also shows the total
am ounts p rovid ed b y operations, the total am ounts
applied to operations, and the net expenditures (which is
the difference between the two other figures).

appropriations which are allocated b y one agency to
another for construction, for m ajor procurem ent, for serv
ices to be carried on beyond the year, or for services which
b y m utual agreement are to be so handled, the am ount so
allocated is accounted for separately b y the receiving
agency. The use of the m on ey is shown in a section of
the budget under the parent account, rather than in the
portion of the budget for the receiving a gen cy.
M o st other paym ents between agencies are accounted
for in consolidated w orking funds or as reimbursements
to appropriations. E ach such paym ent is included in an
appropriate ob je ct class o f the parent account and the
use o f such advances and reimbursements is regularly
shown in a separate schedule of the receiving agency.
Such schedules of advances and reimbursements are b u d g
eted like m anagem ent funds. In a few cases where inter
agency paym ents are significant in determ ining the app ro
priation needs of the receiving agency, the reim bursem ents
are shown in the appropriation schedule o f the receiving
agency instead o f in separate schedules.

STATEMENT OF SOURCES AND .
APPLICATION OF FUNDS
This is ct balanced presentation of the amounts
becoming available during the year, either in the
form o' cush or other working capital, and the way
in which these amounts have been used.
The statement excludes depreciation, losses on
locns, and othei transactions which affect neither
cash nor other current assets and liabilities. It
does reflect transactions which affect cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabili
ties, inventories of suppites for administrative pur
poses, deferred charges and credits.
Both the funds applied and the funds provided
parts of the statement are divided between
"operations" and Treasury “financing."
For intragovernmental funds, net expenditures (the
scivi of amounts applied to operations, less amounts
provided by operations) are included in budget
expenditures.
For public enterprise funds, the total amount
applied to operations is included in gross budget
expenditures. The sum of amounts provided by
operations for such funds make up the deduction
(for applicable receipts) used in arriving at net
budget expenditures.

PROGRAM AND PERFORMANCE
T h e w ork program s o f the Office o f Superintendent o f
D ocu m en ts are o f a service nature and there is no control
over the volum e o f w ork which the Superintendent o f
D ocu m en ts is required b y law to perform .
1. Sales distribution.— G overn m en t publications are
purchased from the P ublic Printer to be placed on sale.
A cquisition costs are paid from sales receipts; hence no
appropriation is required for printing sales copies. B y
provision o f law, the sale price is set at the cost o f m anu
facture plus 50 percent. A t the end of each fiscal year,
excess receipts n ot required for purchasing additional
publications are turned in to the Treasury D epartm ent
as miscellaneous receipts. F or the fiscal year 1955
earned revenue from this source was $2,374,535. It is
estim ated that miscellaneous receipts earned will be
$2,425,000 for 1956 and $2.5 m illion for 1957. T h e num
ber o f sales orders has been steadily increasing, and in the
last 10 years the volum e o f orders and the dollar value of
publications sold has m ore than doubled. The current
public interest in the G overn m en t’s publishing program
points to a continuing increase in the volum e o f orders.
2. Distribution fo r other agencies and Members of
Congress.— T h e Superintendent o f D ocu m en ts maintains
m ailing lists, including the list for the Congressional
R ecord, and perform s mailing operations u pon the request
of any G overnm ent agency w ithout reim bursem ent.
A nother service is the mailing o f Farm ers’ Bulletins,
Soil Surveys, and other publications w hich are allocated
to M em bers o f Congress on a quota basis.
3. Depository library distribution.— One co p y o f every
G overnm ent publication, upon request, is supplied to
m ore than 568 libraries which are designated depositories
for G overnm ent publications.
4. Cataloging and indexing .— This a ctivity covers the
preparation and distribution o f catalogs and indexes of
all publications issued b y the Federal G overnm ent, the
principal series being the M o n th ly C atalog o f United

This program provides for a coordinated effort b y the
Federal G overnm ent to assist States and their political
subdivisions affected b y m ajor disasters when th ey are
unable to cope with the situation physically or financially.
R esponsibility for the adm inistration o f this program is
delegated to the Federal C ivil D efense A dm inistration.
D isaster relief operations of the entire Federal G o v e rn
m ent are coordinated and funds m ade available to affected
areas. State and local civil defense organizations are
active in disaster operations and receive valuable opera
tional training as a result.
A supplem ental appropriation o f $25 m illion in fiscal
year 1956 will be requested to replenish the fund. T h e
two recent disasters in the northeastern States have re
duced the present availability to an u n accep tab ly low
balance.

T h e m ajor activities o f the m ilitary assistance program
are (1) the provision o f m ateriel for the m ilitary forces o f
allied n ations; (2) the training o f their m ilitary personnel
to utilize such materiel ; (3) contributions to join t financing
o f certain international m ilitary facilities and activities,
especially in the N A T O area; and (4) the operation and
adm inistrative costs o f the program .
T hirty-seven foreign countries are now receiving grant
aid under the m ilitary assistance program . T h e program
is supporting in varyin g degrees in these countries m ore
than 200 divisions, 700 com batan t naval vessels, and
300 air squadrons. Congress has appropriated to date
m ore than $20.4 billion for the m ilitary assistance p ro
gram as the U nited States con tribution in this m utual
effort in which each ally m ust play a part com m ensurate
w ith its capabilities. T o date, approxim ately 69 percent
o f the equipm ent and supplies currently program ed
through 1956 has been shipped. T o assure effective use
and m aintenance o f the materiel, m em bers o f the forces
o f our allies have com pleted over 80,000 m ilitary training
courses paid for b y funds m ade available for the m ilitary
assistance program .
In the planning o f m ilitary assistance to be furnished our
allies in the N A T O area, from b oth prior-year and futureyear appropriations, added emphasis will be given to new
and m odern weapons. Increased em phasis will be given
to the establishm ent o f a m ore effective air defense
system .
D eliv ery o f end item s from the U nited States and
other elements o f the program are proceeding satis
factorily and are generally continued under the program
for 1956 and 1957. U nder prior year program s the U nited

States has assisted in building up a defense production
base abroad b y placing orders of approxim ately $2.8
billion. This offshore procurem ent program in 1956 will
be used to m aintain, at the m inim um econ om ic rate of
production, certain plants that are vital to the m ainte
nance o f this base. Th e m utual weapons developm ent
program continues at the 1955 level the effort to acceler
ate the research and developm ent of advanced types of
non-nuclear w eapons b y our allies, and to com bine U nited
States know -how w ith the production capability o f our
allies to produce certain advanced weapons. Through
the sale of surplus agricultural com m odities in 1955,
foreign currencies were generated to m odernize certain
essential m ilitary forces. Loans for m ilitary m ateriel
continue at a m inim um level in 1956 because of the
nature o f such materiel. C ontributions for construction
of facilities in other countries represent the U nited States
share for 1956 of the N A T O infrastructure program under
w hich fixed m ilitary facilities such as airfields are being
built for com m on N A T O use and are being jo in tly fi

PROGRAM AND PERFORMANCE
1. Defense support.— These program s p rovide the sup
plem ental resources required in certain countries to carryon a defense effort o f the size regarded as essential to
m utual defense. T h e prim ary purpose o f defense support
is the attainm ent o f m ilitary ob jectives rather than the
econom ic benefits w hich m ay incidentally accrue to the
recipient nation. In som e cases, defense support con
tributes to this ob jective b y generating local currency for
the m ilitary budget, b y increasing p rodu ctive facilities
which will directly affect m ilitary strength, and b y assist
ing in public works which strengthen the defense potential
of the country. In other cases, defense support provides
the econ om ic resources needed to sustain an essential rate
of econ om ic grow th while building and m aintaining m ili
tary forces vital to the free world.
(a) Europe.— The decrease in size o f this program is in
recognition o f the econom ic recovery o f E urope. T h e
1956 program includes assistance on ly for Spain and
Y u goslavia and for a technical exchange program w ith the
countries of W estern Europe.
(b) Near East and Africa.— C ontinued assistance is
required because several countries, in the interest o f the
m utual defense o f the free world, have sizable m ilitary
forces beyon d their econom ic capacity to support.
(c) Asia.— The need to develop m ilitary strength and
political stability in this area continues to be great.
Som e decrease has been possible, how ever, since the cessa
tion o f hostilities in Indochina and the em ergency period
that followed.
2. Development assistance.— This assistance is given to
prom ote the econ om ic developm ent and to create and
m aintain econ om ic and political stability. D evelop m en t
assistance provides supplies, com m odities, or funds often
as a supplem ent to technical cooperation projects. D e
velopm ent assistance projects or activities are those in
which the U nited States and the recipient cou n try share
a m utual interest which cannot be financed with private

program s—
c o n tin u e d
or other funds, and w hich w ould n ot be carried out at the
rate desirable for U nited States foreign p olicy reasons.
(а) Near East and Africa.— D evelop m en t assistance in
this area is prim arily directed tow ard strengthening o f
individual cou n try econom ies and governm ents and to
ward the im provem ent o f intergovernm ental relationships
in this troubled area. T h e decrease from 1955 to 1956
is prim arily due to a shift o f the Iran program to defense
support in 1956.
(б) Asia.— T h e 1956 program continues the program
in India at a reduced rate. I t also includes a small program
in N epal.
(c) Western Hemisphere.— T he 1956 program is con
centrated in B olivia, G uatem ala, and H aiti, which are
undergoing critical econ om ic crises, requiring increased
United States assistance.
3. Technical cooperation.— This program provides for
the interchange o f technical knowledge, experience,
techniques, and skills w ith the people o f the less-developed
areas o f the w orld to help them further their econom ic
developm ent and increase their standards o f living.
Teaching, training, and the exchange o f technical infor
m ation are em phasized and the on ly supplies and equip
m ent p rovided are those required for effective teaching
and dem onstration. Besides bilateral program s between
the U nited States and other nations, the U nited States
contributes to the m ultilaterally financed technical assist
ance program of the O rganization of A m erican States and
the U nited N ations expanded technical assistance program .
The bilateral program s are coordinated w ith these m ulti
lateral program s to prevent duplication o f effort.
(a) General.— In fiscal year 1956, the U nited States
bilateral program will continue at approxim ately the
1955 level for the group o f countries where program s o f
this type have been in existence for som e time. The
increase in obligations will be used in those countries
where the program has just been initiated.
( b) United Nations.— F or calendar year 1955 U nited
N ations program s, the U nited States contributed $15
m illion, representing 53.6 percent o f total contributions.
The fiscal year 1956 appropriation funded $8.5 m illion
o f this and provided up to $15.5 m illion for our pledge to
the calendar year 1956 program .
T h e U nited States
contribution in 1956 will n ot exceed 50 percent o f total
contributions.
(c) Organization of American States.— F or fiscal years
1955 and 1956 the U nited States appropriated and pledged
up to $1.5 m illion a year w ith the proviso that the U nited
States con tribu tion w ould n ot exceed 70 percent o f the
total governm ent contributions.
In 1955 the U nited
States con tribu tion was $1,135,768 and in 1956 it is
expected to reach $1.5 m illion.
4. Other programs— (a) Special presidential fund.— An
am ount o f $100 m illion was appropriated for use b y the
President to m eet unanticipated requirements.
This
special fund is available for all m utual security program
purposes.
(b) Joint control areas in Europe.— This fund covers
investm ent and reconstru ction projects in Berlin and
technical exchange p rojects in Berlin, the Federal R e p u b
lic o f G erm any, and Austria.
(c) Intergovernmental Committee for European Migra
tion.— C ontributions to this international agency are used
to facilitate the m ovem en t o f surplus populations from

countries in W estern E u rope to countries affording reset
tlem ent opportunities elsewhere. T h e com m ittee expects
to m ove approxim ately 119,000 E uropean m igrants in
calendar year 1955 and expects the num ber to be 125,900
in 1956. T h e U nited States contribu tion will increase
from $9.5 m illion in 1955 to $10.2 m illion in 1956. T h e
appropriation o f $12.5 m illion in fiscal year 1956 covers
the U nited States con tribu tion to the calendar year 1956
program .
(d) United Nations refugee fund.— This U nited N ations
program seeks a solution to the problem o f the unassim
ilated residual refugee p opu lation prim arily in W estern
E urope. There was no fiscal year 1955 appropriation for
con tribu tion to this program . T h e fiscal year 1956
appropriation provides for a U nited States con tribu tion to
the calendar year 1955 program o f $1.2 m illion, p rovided
it does n o t exceed one-third o f total govern m en t
contributions.
(e) Escapee program.— Supplem entary care and m ain
tenance is provid ed for certain refugees from behind the
Iron Curtain and assistance is rendered for their perm anent
resettlem ent. In calendar year 1956 the program will
continue as in past years, w ith emphasis on local integra
tion in E u rope for those w ho can n ot be resettled elsewhere.
( /) United Nations Children'1s Fund.— T h e U nited States
contributes to this fund w hich assists underdeveloped
countries in developing long-range children’s health and
welfare program s. T h e U nited States con tribu tion o f $9
m illion in calendar year 1955 represented approxim ately
60 percent o f total govern m en t contributions, while the
1956 proposed contribu tion o f $9.7 m illion w ou ld repre
sent 57.5 percent o f the total. T h e fiscal year 1956 app ro
priation covers a part o f the calendar year 1955 con tri
bution and all of the calendar year 1956 contribution.
(g) United Nations Relief and Works Agency.— C on tri
butions to Palestine refugee agency help con d u ct relief
and resettlem ent operations for refugees from Palestine.
D uring fiscal year 1955 subsistence rations for nearly
900,000 refugees were provid ed. Engineering studies for
large developm ent p rojects leading tow ard refugee em
p loym ent were nearly com pleted and a prim ary school
program for m ore than 150,000 refugee children was sup
ported. Because o f political and technical problem s it is
unlikely that w ork on the developm en t p rojects will be
initiated during fiscal year 1956. C ontributions totaling
$16.7 m illion are planned for fiscal year 1956 to continue
the relief portion o f the program at approxim ately the
1955 level.
(h) Ocean freight charges, United States voluntary relief
agencies.— A b o u t 50 volu n tary, nonprofit relief agencies
are reimbursed for ocean freight charges on supplies
d onated b y private individuals and shipped to countries
w hich have concluded relief agreements. A b o u t $28 m il
lion o f donated foodstuffs, clothing, handtools, and m edical
and school supplies will be shipped in fiscal year 1956.
(i) Ocean freight, surplus agricultural commodities.— T h e
International C ooperation A dm inistration covers the cost
o f shipping surplus com m odities to friendly peoples to
m eet disaster relief requirem ents as p rovid ed in the
Agricultural T rade D evelop m en t and Assistance A ct o f
1954 and to p ay the ocean freight costs o f donations m ade
to eligible U nited States volu n tary agencies for distribu
tion overseas to needy people. D u rin g fiscal year 1955,
authorizations o f $109 m illion w orth o f surplus agricul
tural com m odities were issued to m eet disaster relief
needs. In addition, $167 m illion o f such com m odities,
donated to volu n tary agencies, were authorized.

(j) Control Act expenses.— T h e International C oopera
tion A dm inistration coordinates a program to deter exports
o f strategic materials from friendly countries to potential
or actual aggressor nations.
(k) Administrative expenses (other than military assist
ance).— A dm inistrative expenses are p rovided for all
m utual security program s other than those administered
b y the D epartm en t o f D efense.
(I) President’s fund for Asian economic development.—
This fund was m ade available through fiscal year 1958 to
provid e financial support for regional developm ent p ro j
ects in this critical area of the world. D evelopm en t
assistance is extended to p rojects which benefit several
countries, or the region as a whole, b u t which would p ro b
a bly n ot be undertaken b y any one cou n try b y itself. In
addition to supporting p rojects w hich will be of im portance
in increasing the econom ic grow th of the area, the fund will
have the effect of dem onstrating the desirability and u tility
of regional cooperation.
(m) Special programs.— Special grant projects and items
o f an em ergency relief nature are required from time to
time for hum anitarian and other purposes.

$10,901,529 was financed from funds appropriated for the
strategic and critical materials program and $692,496
from the borrow in g authority provided in the D efense
Produ ction A ct. A fter the plant resumed operations, the
Office of D efense M ob iliza tion authorized additional
changes in the plant w hich required an investm ent of
$3,204,699. M ore recently, after clearance with the
Joint C om m ittee on D efense P roduction, the Office of
D efense M ob iliza tion authorized an expansion in plant
cap acity of about 75 percent at an estim ated cost of $43
million. A t June 30, 1955, $4,093,722 of this expansion
was com pleted; it is estim ated that $24,093,722 will be
com pleted b y June 30, 1956, and that the entire expan
sion will be accom plished in 1957. These later authoriza
tions b y the Office of D efense M obilization are being
financed from the borrow in g authority p rovided in the
D efense Produ ction A ct and the resultant expenditures
are reflected in the financial statem ents which follow under
the caption “ M inerals and m etals program ,” as G overn
m ent-ow ned industrial plant.
The activities o f the C u ban N ickel C o. are at present
confined to perform ance of such acts as are required of it
by C uban law as proprietor of physical assets in Cuba,
and lim ited m aintenance of the plant.
Department of Agriculture.— Th e purchase and resale of
agricultural com m odities, except forest products, are
carried ou t b y the C om m od ity C redit C orporation, which
is reim bursed from this fun d for the net costs involved.
The Secretary o f A griculture has been allocated borrow ing
authority for this purpose.
D uring 1955, the program to increase supplies o f castor
beans was continued. T h e C orporation continued the
m anagem ent o f inventories o f castor beans and oil,
A m erican-E gyptian cotton and cottonseed, kenaf seed and
fiber, and linseed oil acquired under program s initiated in
prior years. All inventories, except A m erican-E gyptian
cotton and castor beans and oil, had been disposed o f b y
June 30, 1955. I t is anticipated that the inven tory of
A m erican-E gyptian cotton will be sold b y the end of
1957. H ow ever, it is estim ated that castor beans and
castor oil will remain in the in ven tory of the C om m od ity
C redit C orporation b eyon d June 30, 1957.
N et realized losses on purchase and resale operations
am ounted to $30,460,531 during 1955 and are estim ated
at $3,149,329 and $5,893,368 during 1956 and 1957,

respectively. D u rin g 1956 it is estim ated that the
Secretary o f A griculture will reim burse the C o m m o d ity
C redit C orporation in the am ount of $45,383,427 for the
net costs of the com pleted linseed oil, kenaf, and A m ericanE gyp tian cottonseed program s. Such paym ents con sti
tute the net b udgetary expenditures under this fund.
These funds are obtained b y borrow in g from the Treasury.
Interest accrued on borrow ings b y the Secretary o f A gri
culture from the Treasury am ounted to $42,486 during
1955. Such interest is anticipated to am ount to $1,209,514 and $1,233,000 for 1956 and 1957, respectively.
In addition to purchase and resale operations, the
Secretary o f A griculture m a y recom m end to the Office
o f D efense M ob iliza tion the certification o f certain loans
for increasing plant ca p a city to process or store agricul
tural com m odities. As o f June 30, 1955, $2,674,000 in
loans had been com m itted b y the Treasury D epartm ent.
N o loans are expected to be certified during 1956 or 1957.
Department ojf the Interior.— Operations within the D e
partm ent o f the In terior w ith regard to the expansion o f
defense p rodu ction have been lim ited to the encourage
m ent o f exploration for strategic and critical minerals and
metals. F rom the beginning o f the program through
June 30, 1955, the D efense M inerals E xploration A dm in
istration had entered into 767 contracts, in w hich the
G overn m en t’s share o f estim ated costs am ounted to
$22,454,915, as against a total estim ated cost of
$36,894,860.
T h e D epartm ent had certified, as o f the end o f June
1955, 201 discoveries on projects in volvin g con tract
am ounts o f $9,138,706, o f w hich the G overn m en t’s share
is $5,703,081. R eports received through June 30, 1955,
indicate that a total o f $4,394,059 o f G overn m en t funds
had been spent on these certified projects. If p rod u ction
takes place on these projects w ithin a 10-year period,
som e part, at least, o f the G overn m en t funds advanced will
be repaid according to a ro y a lty arrangement.
Treasury Department.— T h e fun ction o f m aking and
adm inistering loans to private business enterprises in the
U nited States under the au th ority o f section 302 o f the
D efense P rodu ction A ct o f 1950, as am ended, was assigned
to the Secretary o f the Treasu ry b y E xecu tive Order
10489, dated Septem ber 26, 1953. A pplication s for loans
are considered on ly upon certification o f essentiality b y
the Office o f D efense M ob iliza tion or the General Services
A dm inistration. N et loan certifications were $233,260,000
on June 30, 1955, against w hich actual borrow ings from
the Treasury am ounted to $166,440,000.
D uring 1955, one loan fo r $2,200,000 was authorized
under this authority. T h e loan was m ade b y a private
banking institution w ith the G overn m en t taking a deferred
participation o f 90 percent. On June 30, 1955, there were
81^ loans am ounting to $170,869,984 outstanding under
this authority. In addition, there was $57,867,280 in
undisbursed com m itm ents, o f w hich $15,073,438 repre
sented com m itm ents to participate in loans m ade b y
banks wherein disbursem ent o f Treasury funds is deferred.
Loans and com m itm ents outstanding are disposed o f
to private financial institutions and investors w henever
possible. Including sales o f loans, scheduled repaym ents,
and cancellation o f com m itm ents, the tota l am ount of
loans and com m itm ents ou tstanding was reduced b y
$21,068,543 during 1955.
F ollow in g the hurricane and flood disasters w hich
occurred in the late sum m er and fall o f 1955, the Presi
dent, in E xecutive Order 10634, dated A u gu st 25, 1955,
authorized the use o f the D efense P rodu ction A ct lending
FU N D S
A P P R O P R IA T E D
authority to aid in the recon stru ction and replacem ent
of facilities required for national defense which were d e
stroyed or dam aged in m a jor disasters. Certifications o f
essentiality b y the D irector of the Office of D efense
M ob iliza tion are required before the Secretary o f the
T reasury m ay authorize loans for this purpose.
It is anticipated that the total am ount of loans author
ized in con n ection with the flood and hurricane dam age
w hich occurred in A ugust and O ctober 1955 will reach $20
million. A b ou t half of the am ount authorized will be
m ade b y banks on a deferred participation basis, with
disbursem ent of Treasury funds being conditional only.
D isbursem ent on loans am ounted to $44,489,818 in
1955. In 1956, it is anticipated that abou t $6 m illion
will be disbursed on loans authorized in con n ection with
disasters, and $42.7 m illion will be disbursed on a large
loan for cop p er developm ent in the southwest. R e c o v
ery of the latter am ount is expected during 1957, h o w
ever, since it is anticipated that the loan will be refinanced
privately.
L argely due to the sale or refinancing o f outstanding
loans, receipts o f principal am ounts are expected to reach
$44.2 m illion in 1956 and $157.5 m illion in 1957.
Export-import Bank oj Washington.— Pursuant to sec
tion 311 o f E xecu tive Order 10480 o f A ugust 15, 1953,
w hich superseded E xecutive Order 10161, the E xp ortim p o r t Bank, w ith funds provided under section 304 o f the
D efense P rodu ction A ct of 1950, as am ended, is responsible
for m aking and adm inistering all loans under section 302 of
the act, upon receipt of certificates o f essentiality issued b y
the D irector of D efense M obilization or the General
Services A dm inistrator, where the expansion, developm ent
or p roduction so financed is carried on in foreign countries.
N o certificates were received and no new loans were
authorized b y the B ank during 1955. D uring the year
the B ank continued to administer the six active credits
previously authorized under this authority as shown in
the financial statem ents. One o f these credits is in
default in the am ount o f $31,922, plus interest at 5
percent from Septem ber 11, 1953. On D ecem ber 8,
1953, the case was referred to the D epartm en t o f Justice
for action. N o loans are expected to be certified during
1956 or 1957.
Operating results and financial condition.— The operating
loss for conducting the program s o f all agencies during
1957 is currently estim ated at $63.4 m illion as com pared
w ith $85.1 m illion and $51.8 m illion in 1955 and 1956,
respectively. These losses prim arily result from the resale
o f high-cost material at m arket prices and from financing
experimental research projects in such materials as tita
nium, manganese, nickel, etc.
T he deficit at the end of 1957 is estim ated at $321.9
million as com pared with $206.7 m illion at the end of
1955. Because o f the large unexpended balance rem aining
in the borrow ing authority, it is not necessary to seek
new authorizations from the Congress to replace the
deficit at this time.
Inventories o f minerals and metals (stated at cost) are
expected to increase from $441.7 m illion in 1955 to $663.7
m illion at the end of 1957. Th e inventories at the end
o f 1957 represent the accum ulation b y the G overnm ent
o f such materials as titanium ($157.1 m illion), tungsten
($320.1 m illion), manganese ($63.8 m illion), chrom ite
($15 m illion), and colum bium ($49.7 m illion). This m a
terial is held b y the G overnm ent in this account because
it cannot be absorbed w ithin existing m inim um stockpile
ob jectives and there is no current industrial need for the
m aterial in the econom y.
N o new additional advances to contractors are expected
TO
T H E
95
P R E S ID E N T
to be m ade during 1956 or 1957. R epaym en ts on advances
m ade to date will reduce the balance due from contractors
from $87.9 million in 1955 to $62.1 m illion in 1957.
R epaym ents b y borrow ers on existing loans are expected
to reduce the outstanding balance o f loans receivable
from $163.5 m illion at the end o f 1955 to $57.4 million
on June 30, 1957.
The investm ent in land and structures will increase to
approxim ately $108.3 million, largely as a result o f ex
penditures o f about $43 m illion for expansion o f the
G overnm ent-ow ned N icaro nickel plant in Cuba.
The net effect o f operations during 1956 and 1957 will
result in increasing the interest-bearing investm ent o f the
G overnm ent in this program from $1,002 m illion at the
end o f 1955 to $1,205 million on June 30, 1957.

and $850.2 m illion in 1955.
T h e 1957 estim ate includes equipm ent not related to
construction projects w ith com parable costs reflected in
1956 and 1955. Prior to 1957 these funds were budgeted
under the appropriation for plant and equipm ent.
1. Source and special nuclear materials.— Uranium ores
and concentrates procured from foreign and dom estic
sources are processed into feed materials from which (a)
plutonium is produ ced in the reactors at H anford, W ash.,
and Savannah R iver, S. C., or (6) the isotope uranium 235
is extracted in plants at Oak R idge, Tenn., Paducah, K y .,
and Portsm outh, Ohio. Foreign sources of uranium will
contribute substantial additional tonnages, and p rod u c
tion from dom estic sources will continue to expand.
N ew facilities for produ cing feed and special nuclear m ate
rials will provide increased ou tp ut at low er unit processing
costs. W ork will continue on developm ent of new equip
m ent and processes to increase yields and im prove the
quality o f products.
2. Weapons.— This program encompasses the p rod u c
tion o f w eapons; the design, developm ent, and testing of
new w eapon typ es; and the storage, m aintenance, and
cu stod y o f stockpiled weapons. E xpanded produ ction
facilities will be in operation and produ ction of weapons
will increase. T h e num ber of scientific and technical
personnel em ployed at the principal w eapon developm ent
laboratories will continue to increase.
3. Reactor development.— Th e m ajor activities included
in this program are the developm ent o f civilian pow er
reactors, the developm ent o f reactors to m eet a variety
o f m ilitary requirements, studies to increase the store o f
know ledge in reactor tech n ology and evaluate advanced

The Com m ission’s program for developm ent of civilian
pow er has been centered around the developm ent o f five
basic reactor concepts. E ach of these concepts now has
at least one full-scale counterpart pow er reactor being
planned b y industry or public power groups with rela
tively little or no G overnm ent financial assistance. In
1956, utilizing funds appropriated for acceleration o f the
power reactor program , the Com m ission has initiated
developm ent work on two additional basic reactor con
cepts. In 1957, w ork will be continued on these 7 con
cepts and work will be undertaken on 1 additional concept.
The Com m ission’s program for military reactor develop
m ent has established the great potentiality of nuclear
pow er for military uses. The Com m ission is currently
developing a variety of reactors for the propulsion of
submarines, surface ships, and aircraft and for trans
portable plants to provide heat and pow er for rem ote
military operations to m eet requirements of the D ep art
m ent of Defense. D uring 1957, the level o f effort will
be substantially increased on existing developm ent
projects, and developm ent of new reactor types and
adaptation of existing types to m eet new D epartm ent of
Defense requirements will be initiated.
In support of the developm ent of specific reactors,
general work will be continued in design and evaluation of
advanced reactor concepts, fuel element developm ent, and
related fields. Increasing emphasis will be placed on a
broad study of reactor control and safety involving the
testing of basically different classes of reactors under
adverse operating conditions to establish safe upper
operating limits and to study the mechanisms which
cause reactors to be inherently safe.
The C om m ission’s education and training program in
the nuclear engineering sciences will be expanded in 1957.
It will include training in universities and Com m ission
laboratories, and assistance to universities b y providing
training equipment.
4. Physical research.— This activity com prises basic
and long-range investigations in the fields of physics,
chemistry, and m etallurgy required b y the Com m ission
to meet its statutory objectives. These investigations
are undertaken to provide an ever-expanding fund of
theoretical and practical knowledge.
A pproxim ately 90 particle accelerators ranging in
energy from a few hundred thousand electron volts to
the 6 billion electron volt B evatron are utilized in the
Com m ission’s program . A 25 billion to 35 billion electron
volt accelerator, larger than any now existing, is under

1956 of 73,000, and p rovid es lim ited com m u n ity services
at other locations. W hile legislation has been enacted to
term inate G overnm en t ownership and operation o f Oak
R id ge and R ich lan d ov er a period o f the next few years,
the estim ates are based on the assum ption that the C om
m ission will continue to operate these com m unities through
1957. I t is estim ated that costs will decrease b y $2.1
m illion in 1957 in anticipation that prop erty m aintenance
costs will be reduced consistent w ith estim ated sales of
real estate authorized under the A tom ic E n ergy C om
m u n ity A c t of 1955. R evenues will decline incident to the
sale o f revenue-producing p roperty. Since real estate
revenues n orm ally exceed costs b y a substantial am ount,
the loss in revenue from p rop erty sales will result in an
estim ated excess of costs over revenues of $1.5 m illion in
1957.
