INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the provisions of the Budget and Accounting Act (31 U.S.C. 1-24) and other applicable laws, the
budget for the fiscal year 1961 contains the President's
recommendations for the work program and financial
program of the Government for the 12 months beginning
July 1, 1960, and ending June 30, 1961. It also presents
comparable information for the fiscal years 1959 (actual)
and 1960 (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 M78), appear the
general statement of the President's financial program and
an outline of his major recommendations.
Part I of the document (pp. 1 through 8) contains five
summary tables. Each of these tables is designed to
bring together in one or two pages some overall aspect of
the Federal budget.
Part II (pp. 9 through 840) 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. Also included is material on a few trust
funds which require congressional action. This part of
the budget begins with four statements (tables 6 through
9) which supplement the tables of part I. The remainder
of part II is arranged in chapters reflecting the organization of the Government.
Part III (pp. 841 through 893) contains a summary
table on trust and deposit funds, and detailed schedules
and explanatory statements on the various trust funds.
Part IV (pp. 895 through 940) contains a limited
number of special analyses of budget data supplementing
material appearing in other parts of the budget. Some of
these give details for certain summary figures appearing
in part I—for example, a classification of budget receipts
by source, and a classification of budget expenditures
according to functions and subfunctions. Other special
analyses in part IV contain additional data or classifications not summarized elsewhere.
An appendix, printed separately, contains more detailed
information on personal services by grade and title.
The budget for the municipal government of the District
of Columbia is also printed separately. This main volume
of the budget contains detail with respect to the District
government only for the Federal payments and loans to
the District.
EXPLANATORY
STATEMENTS
Introductory statements at the beginning of each part
give further explanations as follows:
Pages 2-3—Types of funds; basis of stating receipts and
expenditures; concept of budget surplus or deficit; types
of new obligational authority; certain budget classifications.
Pages 10-12—Operation of Federal funds and format of
material printed for most accounts and funds in part II.
Page 842—Operation of trust and deposit funds covered
by part III.
Page 896—Coverage of the special analyses printed in
part IV.

BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress of the United States:
With this message, transmitting the Budget of the United States for
the fiscal year 1961, I invite the Congress to join with me in a determined effort to achieve a substantial surplus. This will make possible
a reduction in the national debt. The proposals in this budget demonstrate that this objective can be attained while at the same time
maintaining required military strength and enhancing the national
welfare.
This budget attests to the strength of America's economy. At the
same time, the budget is a test of our resolve, as a nation, to allocate
our resources prudently, to maintain the Nation's security, and to
extend economic growth into the future without inflation.
In highlight, this budget proposes:
1. Kevenues of $84 billion and expenditures of $79.8 billion, leaving
a surplus of $4.2 billion. This surplus should be applied to debt reduction, which I believe to be a prime element in sound fiscal policy for
the Nation at this time.
2. New appropriations for the military functions of the Department
of Defense amounting to $40.6 billion, and expenditures of $41 billion.
These expenditures, which
will be slightly higher than
the 1960 level, will provide
the strong and versatile

tion and with the development of the large boosters essential to the
conquest of outer space.
4. Nearly $4.2 billion in new appropriations for mutual security
programs, an increase of about $950 million above appropriations for
the current year, with an increase of $100 million in expenditures.
This increase in program is needed to accelerate economic and technical assistance, chiefly through the Development Loan Fund, and
to strengthen free world forces, in particular the forces of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization, with advanced weapons and equipment.
5. A record total of expenditures, $1.2 billion, for water resources
projects under the Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation.
In addition to funds for going work, this amount provides for the
initiation of 42 new high-priority projects, which will require $38
million in new appropriations for 1961, and will cost a total of $496
million over a period of years.
6. Substantially higher expenditures in a number of categories
which under present laws are relatively uncontrollable, particularly
$9.6 billion for interest; $3.9 billion to help support farm prices and
income; $3.8 billion for veterans compensation and pensions; and $2.4
billion in aid to State and local governments for public assistance and
employment security activities. The aggregate increase in these relatively uncontrollable expenditures is more than $1 billion over 1960.
£ 7. Research and development expenditures of $8.4 billion—well
over one-half of the entire Nation's expenditures, public and private,
for these purposes—in order to assure a continuing strong and modern
defense and to stimulate basic research and technological progress.
8. Recommendations for prompt legislative action to increase taxes
on highway and aviation fuels, and to raise postal rates. These
measures are needed to place on the users a proper share of the rising
costs of the Federal airways and postal service, and to support the
highway program at an increased level.
9. Recommendations to extend for another year present corporation income and excise tax rates.
10. A constructive legislative program to achieve improvements in
existing laws relating to governmental activities and to initiate needed
actions to improve and safeguard the interests of our people.
In short, this budget and the proposals it makes for legislative
action provide for significant advances in many aspects of national
security and welfare. The budget presents a balanced program which
recognizes the priorities appropriate within an aggregate of Federal
expenditures that we can soundly support.
I believe that the American people have made their wishes clear:
The Federal Government should conduct its financial affairs with a
MLOMESSAGEOF T H E PRESIDENT
high sense of responsibility, vigorously meeting the Nation's needs
and opportunities within its proper sphere while at the same time
exercising a prudent discipline in matters of borrowing and spending,
and in incurring liabilities for the future.
BUDGET TOTALS
During the present fiscal year we have made encouraging progress in
achieving sound fiscal policy objectives. The deficit of $12.4 billion
in fiscal 1959, which was largely caused by the recession, is expected
to be followed by a surplus of $217 million in the current year. To
safeguard this small surplus, I am directing all Government departments and agencies to exercise strict controls over the expenditure
of Federal funds. Even so, the slender margin of surplus can be
attained only if economic growth is not interrupted.
For the fiscal year 1961, I am proposing a budget surplus of $4.2
billion to be applied to debt retirement. In my judgment this is the
only sound course. Unless some amounts are applied to the reduction
of debt in prosperous periods, we can expect an ever larger public
debt if future emergencies or recessions again produce deficits.
In times of prosperity, such as we anticipate in the coming year,
sound fiscal and economic policy requires a budget surplus to help
counteract inflationary pressures, to ease conditions in capital and
credit markets, and to increase the supply of savings available for
the productive investment so essential to continued economic growth.
PURPOSES
OF BUDGET
EXPENDITURES
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
The budget recommendations for 1961 lay the groundwork for a
sound and flexible fiscal policy in the years ahead. A continuance of
economic prosperity in 1962 and later years can be expected to bring
with it further increases in Federal revenues. If expenditures are held
to the levels I am proposing for 1961 and reasonable restraint is
exercised in the future, higher revenues in later years will give the next
administration and the next Congress the choice they should rightly
have in deciding between reductions in the public debt and lightening
of the tax burden, or both. Soundly conceived tax revision can then
be approached on a comprehensive and orderly basis, rather than by
haphazard piecemeal changes, and can be accomplished within a
setting of economic and fiscal stability.
Budget expenditures in 1961 are estimated at $79.8 billion, which is
$1.4 billion more than the 1960 level. The total increase is attributable to (1) an increase of more than $1 billion in relatively uncontrollable expenditures for farm price supports fixed by law, interest
on the public debt, veterans compensation and pensions, and public
assistance grants, and (2) an increase of about $500 million in expenditures because of commitments made in prior years for Federal housing
programs, for civil public works projects and other construction, for
loans under the mutual security program, and for other programs.
New activities and expansion of certain other programs have been
included on a selective basis of need. These increases are offset
by reductions in other existing programs, including the proposed
elimination of the postal deficit.
New obligational authority recommended for the fiscal year 1961
totals $79.4 billion. This is $306 million less than the amounts
already enacted and recommended for 1960, and $401 million less
than estimated expenditures in 1961.
Budget receipts under existing and proposed legislation are expected
to rise substantially to $84 billion in 1961. This compares with the
revised estimate of $78.6 billion for 1960 and actual receipts of $68.3
billion in 1959.
MANAGEMENT OF THE PUBLIC DEBT
Achievement of the proposed budget surplus will provide an opportunity to offset part of the deficits incurred in the fiscal years 1958
and 1959 largely because of the recession. The corresponding reduction
of the public debt will reduce Government competition with private
industry, individuals, and State and local governments for investment
funds and will help ease the pressure on interest rates. Along with the
recommended removal of the interest rate ceiling on long-term Federal
debt, this will help hold down budget expenditures for interest, which
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
now amount to almost
one-eighth of the whole
budget.
Management of the Public Debt:

stood at $284.7 billion on
June 30, 1959, will be
$284.5 billion on June 30,
1960, and will decline to $280 billion at the end of fiscal 1961. Thus,
the budget surplus estimated for fiscal 1961 will permit the Government to end the year with desirable operating leeway within the
permanent debt limit of $285 billion. However, the fluctuating
seasonal pattern in receipts will again require a temporary increase in
the debt limit during the fiscal year 1961, since the present temporary
limit of $295 billion expires on June 30, 1960. It is expected that the
request for a new temporary limit will be for less than the present
$295 billion if the Congress accepts my budgetary proposals.
Interest ceiling.—Effective management of a debt of this size
requires a reasonable distribution among securities maturing at different times. Three-fourths of all marketable Treasury securities
outstanding today come due in less than five years, of which $80 billion
will mature in less than a year. As long as the rate that would have
to be paid on newly issued bonds exceeds the present statutory ceiling of 4%%, it is impossible to issue and sell any marketable securities
of over five years' maturity.
Exclusive reliance on borrowing in a limited sector of the market is
an expensive and inefficient way to manage the debt. Inflationary
pressures increase as the volume of short-term and hence highly liquid
securities mounts, especially if these securities are acquired by
commercial banks. Further, effective monetary policy becomes
more difficult when the Treasury has to refinance often. To make
possible prudent and flexible management of the public debt, to
permit sale of a modest amount of intermediate and longer term
bonds when market conditions warrant such action, and to keep the
average maturity of the debt from constantly shortening, it is imperative that the Congress immediately act to remove the 42-year-old
4%% limitation on interest rates on Government securities maturing
after five years.

revenue estimate is consistent with an increase
in the gross national product from about $480 billion for calendar 1959 to
about $510 billion for calendar 1960. Personal incomes and corporate profits are expected to rise
considerably beyond last
year's levels, which were
depressed somewhat by
the long duration of the
steel strike. The accompanying table shows the

The estimates for 1961 assume (1) extension of present tax rates and
(2) the adoption of modifications recommended last year for certain
tax laws. These are summarized in the following paragraphs.
Extension of present tax rates.—In order to maintain Federal
revenues, it is necessary that the present tax rates on corporation
profits and certain excises be extended for another year beyond their
scheduled expiration date of June 30,1960. The scheduled reductions
in the excise tax rates on transportation of persons and the scheduled
repeal of the tax on local telephone service, which were enacted in
the last session of the Congress, should be similarly^postponed.
MLOMESSAGEOF T H E PRESIDENT
Improvement of the tax system.—The recent tax revision hearings of the Ways and Means Committee have provided valuable
information bearing on changes in the tax laws. The Treasury will
continue to work in cooperation with the committees of the Congress
in developing sound and attainable proposals for long-range improvement of the tax laws.
As the development of a comprehensive tax revision program will
take time, the Congress should consider this year certain changes in
the tax laws to correct inequities. These include amendments of the
laws on taxation of cooperatives, now before the Congress, and a number of technical changes on which the Treasury Department has been
working with committees of Congress. There is also before the Congress an amendment to prevent unintended and excessive depletion
deductions resulting from the computation of percentage depletion
allowances on the selling price of finished clay, cement products, and
mineral products generally; unless the problem is satisfactorily resolved in a case now pending before the Supreme Court, the need for
corrective legislation in this area will continue.
Under existing law, administration of the depreciation provisions is
being hampered by the attempts of some taxpayers to claim excessive
depreciation before disposing of their property. If gain from the sale
of depreciable personal property were treated as ordinary income, the
advantage gained in claiming excessive depreciation deductions would
be materially reduced and the taxpayer's judgment as to the useful
life of his property could more readily be accepted. Accordingly, I

Corporation
Income Taxes

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
MLO
recommend that consideration be given to a change in the law which
would treat such gain as ordinary income to the extent of the depreciation deduction previously taken on the property.
Aviation fuel taxes.—To help defray the cost of the Federal airways system, the effective excise tax rate on aviation gasoline should
be promptly increased from 2 to 4% cents per gallon and an equivalent
excise tax should be imposed on jet fuels, which now are untaxed.
The conversion from piston engines to jets is resulting in serious
revenue losses to the Government. These losses will increase unless
the tax on jet fuels is promptly enacted. The revenues from all taxes
on aviation fuels should be credited to general budget receipts, as
a partial offset to the budgetary costs of the airways system, and
clearly should not be deposited in the highway trust fund.
Changes in fees and charges.—The cost of other Federal programs which provide measurable special benefits to identifiable
groups or individuals should be recovered through charges paid by
beneficiaries rather than by taxes on the general public. Whenever
feasible, fees or charges should be established so that the beneficiaries
will pay the full cost of the special services they receive. To help
accomplish this purpose, I have directed that further work be done by

Federal services which convey such special benefits. In the meantime, the Congress is requested to act favorably on the postal rate
proposals described in this message and on a number of other specific
proposals now pending before it or planned to be submitted this year
for increased fees or charges for special services.
RECEIPTS FROM AND PAYMENTS TO THE PUBLIC
The program of responsible fiscal policy represented by a balanced
budget with a substantial surplus is reinforced by an even greater
surplus of total cash receipts from the public over cash payments to
the public. In this more comprehensive measure of Federal financial
activity, obtained by consolidating budget, trust fund, and certain
other Federal transactions, receipts from the public are estimated at
$102.2 billion in 1961 and payments to the public at $96.3 billion,
resulting in an excess of $5.9 billion of receipts.
This excess of receipts will be used to repay cash the Government
has previously borrowed from the public. Repayment of such debt
owed to the public will be greater than the amount of public debt
retired, because the Government trust funds are expected to add to
their holdings of public debt securities to the extent that trust fund
receipts exceed trust fund expenditures. This will reduce the debt
held by the public in like amount by shifting ownership to the trust
funds.
For the fiscal year 1960, on the other hand, an excess of payments
to the public of $542 million is estimated, despite the anticipated
budget surplus of $217 million. This situation reflects the fact that
total disbursements of trust funds will exceed their receipts in 1960,
notably in the old-age and survivors insurance, unemployment, and
highway trust funds.

world may be lightened.
But we should not delude ourselves. In this era of nuclear weapons
and intercontinental missiles, disarmament must be safeguarded and
verifiable. The problems involved in achieving reductions of arma-

1961 will continue to emphasize the modernization
of our Armed Forces. Military assistance for our allies under the
mutual security program will also reflect the growing importance of
modern weapons and missiles in the continued strengthening of the
free world defense forces. The Atomic Energy Commission is continuing its weapons programs on a high level and will move forward
with research and development on the peaceful applications of atomic
energy. Expenditures for stockpiling and for expansion of defense
production will decline further, since most of the stockpile objectives
have been met.
Department of Defense—Military.—New appropriations of
$40,577 million are recommended for the military functions of the
Department of Defense for 1961. Expenditures in 1961 are estimated
at $40,995 million. These amounts exclude funds for the development
of the Saturn space project which I have proposed be transferred to
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Strategy and tactics of the U.S. military forces are now undergoing
one of the greatest transitions in history. The change of emphasis
from conventional-type to missile-type warfare must be made with
care, mindful that the one type of warfare cannot be safely neglected
in favor of the other. Our military forces must be capable of con-

tending successfully with any contingency which may be forced upon
us, from limited emergencies to all-out nuclear general war.
Forces and military personnel strength.—This budget will provide in
the fiscal year 1961 for the continued support of our forces at approximately the present level—a year-end strength of 2,489,000 men and
women in the active forces. The forces to be supported include an
Army of 14 divisions and 870,000 men; a Navy of 817 active ships
and 619,000 men; a Marine Corps of 3 divisions and 3 air wings with
175,000 men; and an Air Force of 91 combat wings and 825,000 men.
If the reserve components are to serve effectively in time of war,
their basic organization and objectives must conform to the changing
character and missions of the active forces. Quality and combat
520000—60 II
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
readiness must take precedence over mere numbers. Under modern
conditions, this is especially true of the ready reserve. I have requested the Secretary of Defense to reexamine the roles and missions
of the reserve components in relation to those of the active forces
and in the light of the changing requirements of modern warfare.
Last year the Congress discontinued its previously imposed minimum personnel strength limitations on the Army Reserve. Similar
restrictions on the strength of the Army National Guard contained in
the 1960 Department of Defense Appropriation Act should likewise
be dropped. I strongly recommend to the Congress the avoidance of
mandatory floors on the size of the reserve components so that we
may have the flexibility to make adjustments in keeping with military
necessity.
I again propose a reduction in the Army National Guard and
Army Reserve—from their present strengths of 400,000 and 300,000,
respectively, to 360,000 and 270,000 by the end of the fiscal year 1961.
These strengths are considered adequate to meet the essential roles and
missions of the reserves in support of our national security objectives.
Military personnel costs.—About 30% of the expenditures for the
Department of Defense in 1961 are for military personnel costs,
including pay for active, reserve, and retired military personnel.
These expenditures are estimated to be $12.1 billion, an increase of
$187 million over 1960, reflecting additional longevity pay of career
personnel, more dependents, an increased number of men drawing
proficiency pay, and social security tax increases (effective for the full
year in 1961 compared with only 6 months in 1960). Retired pay
costs are increased by $94 million in 1961 over 1960, partly because
of a substantial increase in the number of retired personnel. These
increased costs are partially offset by a decrease of $56 million in
expenditures for the reserve forces, largely because of the planned
reduction in strength of the Army Reserve components during 1961.
Traditionally, rates of pay for retired military personnel have been
proportionate to current rates of pay for active personnel. The 1958
military pay act departed from this established formula by providing
for a 6% increase rather than a proportionate increase for everyone
retired prior to its effective date of June 1, 1958. I endorse pending
legislation that will restore the traditional relationship between retired
and active duty pay rates.
Operation and maintenance.•—-Expenditures for operating and
maintaining the stations and equipment of the Armed Forces are
estimated to be $10.3 billion in 1961, which is $184 million more than
in 1960. The increase stems largely from the growing complexity
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
of and higher degree of maintenance required for newer weapons and
equipment.
A substantial increase is estimated in the cost of operating additional
communications systems in the air defense program, as well as in all
programs where speed and security of communications are essential.
Also, the program for fleet modernization will be stepped up in 1961
causing an increase in expenditures. Further increases arise from the
civilian employee health program enacted by the Congress last year.
Other factors increasing operating costs include the higher unit cost
of each flying hour, up 11% in two years, and of each steaming hour,
up 15%. In total, these increases in operating costs outweigh the
savings that result from declining programs and from economy measures, such as reduced numbers of units and installations, smaller
inventories of major equipment, and improvements in the supply
and distribution systems of the Armed Forces.
In the budget message for 1959, and again for 1960,1 recommended
immediate repeal of section 601 of the Act of September 28, 1951 (65
Stat. 365). This section prevents the military departments and
the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization from carrying out certain
transactions involving real property unless they come into agreement
with the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House
of Representatives. As I have stated previously, the Attorney General has advised me that this section violates fundamental constitutional principles. Accordingly, if it is not repealed by the Congress at its present session, I shall have no alternative thereafter but
to direct the Secretary of Defense to disregard the section unless a
court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise.
Basic long-line communications in Alaska are now provided through
Federal facilities operated by the Army, Air Force, and Federal
Aviation Agency. The growing communications needs of this new
State can best be met, as they have in other States, through the
operation and development of such facilities by private enterprise.
Legislation has already been proposed to authorize the sale of these
Government-owned systems in Alaska, and its early enactment is
desirable.
Procurement, research, and construction.—Approximately 45% of the
expenditures for the Department of Defense are for procurement,
research, development, and construction programs. In 1961, these
expenditures are estimated at $18.9 billion, compared to $19.3 billion
in 1960. The decreases, which are largely in construction and in
aircraft procurement, are offset in part by increases for research and
development and for procurement of other military equipment
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
such as tanks, vehicles, guns, and electronic devices. Expenditures for shipbuilding are estimated at about the same level as in 1960.
New obligational authority for 1961 recommended in this budget
for aircraft procurement (excluding amounts for related research and
construction) totals $4,753 million, which is $1,390 million below that
enacted for 1960. On the other hand, the new authority of $3,825
million proposed for missile procurement (excluding research and
construction) in 1961 is $581 million higher than for 1960. These
contrasting trends in procurement reflect the anticipated changes
in the composition and missions of our Armed Forces in the years
ahead.
The Department of Defense appropriation acts for the past several
years have contained a rider which limits competitive bidding by
firms in other countries on certain military supply items. As I have
repeatedly stated, this provision is much more restrictive than the
general law, popularly known as the Buy American Act. I urge once
again that the Congress not reenact this rider.
The task of providing a reasonable level of military strength, without endangering other vital aspects of our security, is greatly complicated by the swift pace of scientific progress. The last few years have
witnessed what have been perhaps the most rapid advances in military
technology in history. Some weapons systems have become obsolescent while still in production, and some while still under development.
Furthermore, unexpectedly rapid progress or a technological breakthrough on any one weapon system, in itself, often diminishes the
relative importance of other competitive systems. This has necessitated a continuous review and reevaluation of the defense program in
order to redirect resources to the newer and more important weapons
systems and to eliminate or reduce effort on weapons systems which
have been overtaken by events. Thus, in the last few years, a number
of programs which looked very promising at the time their development was commenced have since been completely eliminated. For
example, the importance of the Regulus II, a very promising aerodynamic ship-to-surface missile designed to be launched by surfaced
submarines, was greatly diminished by the successful acceleration of
the much more advanced Polaris ballistic missile launched by submerged submarines.
Another example is the recent cancellation of the F-108, a longrange interceptor with a speed three times as great as the speed of
sound, which was designed for use against manned bombers in the
period of the mid-1960's. The substantial progress being made in
ballistic missile technology is rapidly shifting the main threat from
manned bombers to missiles. Considering the high cost of the F-108
system—over $4 billion for the force that had been planned—and the
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
time period in which it would become operational, it was decided to
stop further work on the project. Meanwhile, other air defense forces
are being made effective, as described later in this message.
The size and scope of other important programs have been reduced
from earlier plans. Notable in this category are the Jupiter and Thor
intermediate range ballistic missiles, which have been successfully
developed, produced, and deployed, but the relative importance of
which has diminished with the increasing availability of the Atlas
intercontinental ballistic missile.
The impact of technological factors is also illustrated by the history of the high-energy fuel program. This project was started at a
time when there was a critical need for a high-energy fuel to provide
an extra margin of range for high performance aircraft, particularly
our heavy bombers. Continuing technical problems involved in the
use of this fuel, coupled with significant improvements in aircraft
range through other means, have now raised serious questions about
the value of the high-energy fuel program. As a result, the scope of
this project has been sharply curtailed.
These examples underscore the importance of even more searching
evaluations of new major development programs and even more penetrating and far-ranging analyses of the potentialities of future technology. The cost of developing a major weapon system is now so
enormous that the greatest care must be exercised in selecting new
systems for development, in determining the most satisfactory rate of
development, and in deciding the proper time at which either to place
a system into production or to abandon it.
Strategic forces.—The deterrent power of our Armed Forces comes
from both their nuclear retaliatory capability and their capability to
conduct other essential operations in any form of war. The first
capability is represented by a combination of manned bombers,
carrier-based aircraft, and intercontinental and intermediate range
missiles. The second capability is represented by our deployed
ground, naval, and air forces in essential forward areas, together with
ready reserves capable of effecting early emergency reinforcement.
The Strategic Air Command is the principal element of our longrange nuclear capability. One of the important and difficult decisions
which had to be made in this budget concerned the role of the B-70,
a long-range supersonic bomber. This aircraft, which was planned
for initial operational use about 1965, would be complementary to
but likewise competitive with the four strategic ballistic missile systems, all of which are scheduled to become available earlier. The
first Atlas ICBM's are now operational, the first two Polaris submarines are expected to be operational this calendar year, and the first
Titan ICBM's next year. The Minuteman solid-fueled ICBM is
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
planned to be operational about mid-1963. By 1965, several or all
of these systems will have been fully tested and their reliability
established.
Thus, the need for the B-70 as a strategic weapon system is
doubtful. However, I am recommending that development work
on the B-70 airframe and engines be continued. It is expected that
in 1963 two prototype aircraft will be available for flight testing. By
that time we should be in a much better position to determine the
value of that aircraft as a weapon system.
I am recommending additional acquisitions of the improved version
of the B-52 (the B-52H with the new turbofan engine) and procurement of the B-58 supersonic medium bomber, together with the supporting refueling tankers in each case. These additional modern
bombers will replace some of the older B-47 medium bombers; one
B-52 can do the work of several B-47's which it will replace. Funds
are also included in this budget to continue the equipping of the B-52
wings with the Hound Dog air-to-surface missile.
In the coming fiscal year additional quantities of Atlas, Titan, and
Polaris missiles also will be procured. I am recommending funds for
3 additional Polaris submarines to be started in the coming fiscal year
and for the advance procurement of long leadtime components on 3
more—making a total of 15 Polaris submarines and the appropriate
number of missiles. Funds to continue the development and to initiate
production of the first operational quantities of the Minuteman are
also included in this budget.
Thus, four strategic ballistic missile systems will be in development
and production during the coming fiscal year. These, together with
the manned bomber force, the carrier-based aircraft, the intermediate
range ballistic missiles, and the tactical aircraft deployed abroad, ensure our continued capability to retaliate effectively in the event of
an attack upon ourselves or our allies.
In order to ensure, insofar as practicable, the safety and readiness
of these forces, we have substantially completed the dispersal of
Strategic Air Command aircraft and the construction of alert facilities.
These measures will permit a large portion of all our manned bombers
and supporting tankers to get off the ground within 15 minutes after
receiving warning of an attack.
I have also authorized the Department of Defense to begin to acquire
a standby airborne alert capability for the heavy bombers. This will
entail the procurement of extra engines and spare parts, and the training of the heavy bomber wings with the ability to conduct an airborne
alert. It is neither necessary nor practical to fly a continuous airborne
alert at this time. Such a procedure would, over a relatively short
period of time, seriously degrade our overall capability to respond to
attack. What I am recommending is a capability to fly such an alert
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
if the need should arise and to maintain that alert for a reasonable
period of time until the situation which necessitated it becomes
clarified.
Attention is also being given to the safety and readiness of our
land-based strategic missile forces. Except for the first several squadrons, strategic missiles will be dispersed in hardened underground sites.
Measures are also being taken to shorten the reaction time of liquidfueled missiles. The Minuteman, because it will be solid fueled, will
have a quick reaction time and will lend itself to mobile use. The
solid-fueled Polaris to be carried in submarines at sea is by its very
nature highly invulnerable.
Air defense forces.—Much progress has been made in increasing the
effectiveness of the North American Air Defense Command organized
in 1957 as an integrated command of the United States and Canadian
forces. The U.S. military elements—consisting of parts of all of our
armed services—are integrated with Canada's Air Defence Command
for maintaining an air defense capability for the entire North American
Continent.
While we pay increasing attention to the growing threat of a potential enemy's ballistic missiles we should not lose sight of the fact that
for the time being the manned bomber is the major threat. Although
some $17 billion has already been invested in defense systems against
manned bombers, excluding the cost of personnel and operation and
maintenance, certain segments have yet to be completed. These
were described in the Department of Defense air defense plan presented to the Congress last year. The funds recommended in this
budget will substantially complete the programs outlined in that plan.
Specifically, the last major elements of the Nike-Hercules surface-toair missile program will be financed in 1961 and the Bomarc interceptor missile program will approach completion. The related radar
warning, electronic control, and communication systems will also be
further equipped and modernized.
In response to the increasing missile threat, we are pressing to
completion a new system for the detection of ballistic missile attack—
the ballistic missile early warning system. Construction has been
under way for the last two years and the first segment is expected to
be in operation in about a year.
To provide for an active defense against ballistic missile attack, I
am recommending the continued development of the Nike-Zeus
system, but it will not be placed in production during the coming
fiscal year during which further testing will be carried out.
The Nike-Zeus system is one of the most difficult undertakings ever
attempted by this country. The technical problems involved in
detecting, tracking, and computing the course of the incoming ballistic
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
missile and in guiding the intercepting Zeus missile to its target—
all within a few minutes—are indeed enormous.
Much thought and study have been given to all of these factors and
it is the consensus of my technical and military advisers that the
system should be carefully tested before production is begun and
facilities are constructed for its deployment. Accordingly, I am
recommending sufficient funds in this budget to provide for the
essential phases of such testing. Pending the results of such testing,
the $137 million appropriated last year by the Congress for initial
production steps for the Nike-Zeus system will not be used.
Sea control jorces.—Control of sea and ocean areas and sea lanes of
communication is an integral element in the maintenance of our
national security. The naval forces which carry the primary responsibility for this mission will consist of 817 combatant and support
ships, 16 attack carrier air groups, 11 antisubmarine air groups, and
41 patrol and warning air squadrons.
From new construction and conversion programs started in prior
years, the Navy will receive during fiscal year 1961 an unusually large
number of modern ships. These will include the fifth and sixth
Forrestal-class attack carriers, the first nuclear-powered cruiser, nine
guided missile destroyers, seven guided missile frigates, and six nuclear-powered submarines. Three more Polaris ballistic missile submarines and a converted guided missile cruiser will also be commissioned.
For the coming fiscal year I am recommending the construction of
20 new ships and conversions or modernizations of 15 others. Included among the new ships is an attack carrier. It is planned to
construct this carrier with a conventional rather than a nuclear
powerplant.
While it is generally agreed that a nuclear-powered attack carrier
has certain military advantages, such as extended range and endurance at high sustained speeds, these advantages are not overriding
as in the case of a submarine. In a submarine, nuclear power provides the critical advantage of almost unlimited operation, submerged
at high speeds. This enables nuclear-powered submarines to carry
out missions which no conventionally powered submarine, no matter
how modern, could accomplish.
The advantages of nuclear power with respect to the carrier, however, are not comparable. The primary requirement in a carrier is upto-date facilities to operate, safely and effectively, the most modern
naval aircraft. Use of a conventional powerplant will in no way prevent a carrier from functioning as a completely modern and mobile
base for fleet aircraft for its foreseeable life. The additional $130
million which a nuclear-powered carrier would cost can be used to
M24
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
much greater advantage for other purposes. I therefore strongly urge
the Congress to support this request for a conventionally powered
aircraft carrier.
Tactical forces.—Elements of the ground, naval, and air forces comprise the tactical forces which are available to deal with cold war
emergencies and limited war situations, in addition to performing
essential tasks in the event of general war. Recommendations made
in this budget provide funds for modernization and improvement in
the effectiveness of our tactical forces.
Increased emphasis has been given in this budget to improving the
mobility and firepower of the 14 Army divisions and other active
combat elements of the Army and the 3 Marine Corps divisions. Additional quantities of new rifles and machineguns employing the
standard NATO ammunition will be procured, as will combat and
tactical vehicles of all kinds, including the new M60 tank, the M l 13
armored personnel carrier, self-propelled howitzers, trucks and jeeps.
In recognition of the value of artillery in both nuclear and nonnuclear warfare, an entire new family of self-propelled artillery is
introduced with this budget. This new artillery is lighter, more
mobile, and, utilizing new ammunition, will have greater range than
that of types currently available.
The Army and Marine Corps will also buy a wide variety of guided
missiles and rockets such as: Sergeant, Honest John, Little John, and
Lacrosse for medium and close range ground fire support; Davy
Crockett for an integral infantry-unit close-range atomic support
weapon; and Hawk and Redeye for defense of field forces against air
attack. Army aircraft procurement proposed for 1961 is more than
35% higher than for the current year, and includes funds for surveillance aircraft and for utility and medium cargo helicopters.
The tactical forces of the Army are supported by the tactical air
wings of the Air Force which will also be provided with an increased
capability under these budget recommendations. Funds are provided
for increased procurement of F-105 supersonic all-weather fighter
bombers. These aircraft, with their low-altitude handling characteristics and large carrying capacities for both nuclear and nonnuclear
weapons, will strengthen significantly the air support available to the
Army ground units.
The three Marine divisions are tactically supported by three
Marine aircraft wings, which will also receive quantities of new
aircraft.
Military assistance.—The ability of the free world to deter aggression depends on the combined strength and determination of many
countries. The total forces of the countries receiving aid under the
military assistance program include about 5 million Army troops,
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
2,200 combatant ships, and over 25,000 aircraft, about half of which
are jet. These forces make a vital contribution to the security of the
free world, including the United States.
A committee of distinguished private citizens, the President's
Committee to Study the United States Military Assistance Program,
conducted an extensive and comprehensive analysis of the mutual
security program during the last year. I have previously transmitted
the reports of the Committee to the Congress. Many of the significant
findings and recommendations of this group have been put into effect
by the executive agencies; others are in the process of implementation.
The military assistance program has been budgeted in 1961 with other
activities and programs of the Department of Defense, and major
changes are being made in the management, organization, and programing of military assistance.
Last spring I mentioned the possibility of requesting a supplemental appropriation as suggested by the Committee largely to
expedite modernization of NATO forces. However, in view of the
time factor involved in securing a separate authorization and appropriation for 1960, a supplemental request this year is not practical.
The new obligational authority of $2 billion recommended for fiscal
year 1961 for the military assistance program will provide the training
and quantities of materiel required to support the forces in the countries receiving aid. Because of the long leadtime required for many
items, procurement must be started in 1961 in order to provide the
necessary deliveries in future years. During recent years, deliveries
have been maintained only by drawing down the backlog of undelivered items by an amount ranging from $500 to $800 million per
year. The backlog has now been reduced to the point where adequate
deliveries in the future must depend on new appropriations.
The defense of Western Europe in this era of modern weapons is
costly and must be accomplished through the combined efforts of all
NATO countries. Many of these countries have now assumed the
financial responsibility for producing or purchasing conventional arms
and equipment which the United States previously supplied. At the
same time, the 1961 military assistance program squarely faces the
pressing need for new and costly weapons for which the free world
still looks for help from the United States. In addition, it provides for
an intensified training effort to assure effective use and maintenance
of the new equipment by allied forces.
This budget also provides for military assistance to countries which
are building defenses against aggression and subversion in other parts
of the world. These countries border on aggressive regimes, or are
confronted with strong internal subversive elements. Many of them
have joined in mutual defense organizations such as the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) and the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO), or with the United States in bilateral defense
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
agreements. Assistance to these countries, most of which are in the
Near East and the Far East, emphasizes primarily the strengthening
of conventional forces in keeping with the nature of the threat in
each area.
Atomic energy activities.—In 1961 the expenditures for the
Atomic Energy Commission are expected to remain at the 1960 level
of about $2.7 billion. Substantial increases for research and development activities will be offset by reductions in procurement of uranium
ore concentrates from United States and Canadian producers. These
reductions will bring ore supplies into better balance with production
requirements.
Development and production of nuclear weapons in 1961 will
remain at the high levels of previous years. The vigorous development of military reactors for a variety of propulsion and power uses
will continue. When the land-based prototype reactor for a destroyer is placed into operation in 1961 along with four other naval
prototype reactors now operating, nuclear powerplants will be available for major types of naval combatant ships. Emphasis in naval
reactor development in 1961 will be placed primarily on development
of improved and longer lived reactor fuel. The development of nuclear ramjet engines for missiles, of nuclear aircraft engines, and of
nuclear electric powerplants for use at remote military bases will be
carried forward.
Peaceful uses oi atomic energy.—Expenditures in 1961 for development of civilian electric power from atomic energy are estimated at
$250 million. Of this amount, $185 million is for research and
development and $65 million is for construction of civilian power
reactors and related development facilities. The estimated expenditures include amounts from proposed new appropriations of $40 million
for assistance to private and public power groups in developing and
building demonstration nuclear powerplants, and alternatively for
such direct Government construction as may be considered necessary.
The number, type, and size of reactors built and the nature of the
assistance provided will be determined by the Commission after considering the state of technology and the cooperation proposed by
industry.
Expenditures by the Commission for research in the physical and
life sciences in 1961 will again increase subs tan tially to over $210
million. This level of research will help the United States to continue its leadership in the study of the behavior of the basic matter of
the universe and the effects of radiation on man and his environment.
The largest part of the increase will be used to place in operation in the
next 18 months three new particle accelerators in the multibillion
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
electron-volt energy range, including the alternating gradient synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
In support of the civilian space program, the Atomic Energy Commission will continue development of nuclear-powered rockets and
small, long-lived nuclear power sources for space vehicles. Development work on thermonuclear power and on applications of nuclear
explosives to a variety of civilian uses will continue in 1961.
Stockpiling and defense production expansion.—Most of the
objectives for the stockpile of strategic and critical materials have
been met. Receipts of materials under contracts to promote expansion of defense production are continuing at a reduced rate, as the
number of such contracts still in effect declines. Hence, expenditures
for stockpiling and expansion of defense production are estimated to
decline from $230 million in 1960 to $134 million in 1961.
Amendments to outstanding contracts are now being negotiated
where practicable, so as to minimize the delivery of materials no
longer required for stockpiling. Arrangements are also under way to
dispose of materials excess to stockpile objectives whenever disposal
will not seriously disrupt markets or adversely affect our international
relations.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND FINANCE
The United States is continuing to support programs to maintain
world peace and to improve economic conditions throughout the free
world. In helping to improve economic conditions, we are being
joined in larger measure by our friends in the free world who have now
reached a high level of prosperity after recovering from the ravages
of war. Accordingly, multilateral programs are being expanded. At
the same time, the pressing need for economic development requires
the continuation of substantial economic assistance under the mutual
security program.
Expenditures for international affairs and finance are estimated to
be $2.2 billion in the fiscal year 1961. This amount is $177 million
higher than estimated expenditures for 1960, mainly because of
larger disbursements by the Development Loan Fund under prior

Mutual security program.—Through the mutual security program as a whole the United States helps promote stability and economic growth in less-developed countries and helps strengthen the
defenses of the free world. For these purposes new obligational

capital is provided on favorable terms, often including the option to repay
in the borrower's own currency. By the end of the fiscal year 1960, the
Fund will have made commitments for an estimated 148 loans totaling
some $1,400 million. More than three-fourths of the projects it is financing are for roads, railroads, electric power generation, and industry, including industrial development banks. Because many of these
projects require several years for construction, expenditures have thus
far been relatively small. However, in the fiscal year 1961 they are estimated to be $300 million, an increase of $125 million over 1960.
New obligational authority of $700 million is requested for 1961, an
increase of $150 million over the amount enacted for 1960. This
will provide the loan funds essential to our foreign policy objective
of assisting in the economic growth of the less-developed countries of
the free world.
2. Revise eligibility requirements for countries to receive
economic assistance.
Technical cooperation.—Technical and administrative skills are no
less important for the newly developing countries than capital.
Through the technical cooperation program, American experts are
sent abroad to transmit the skills required in a modern economy
and foreign technicians are brought to the United States for training.

crease their contributions for the United Nations programs, the
United States contribution, which is two-fifths of the total, also
increases.
Defense support.—Many of the less-developed countries participating in the common defense maintain large military forces whose
cost imposes a severe strain upon their limited economic resources.
In order to help maintain political and economic stability and to prevent the cost of necessary defensive forces from unduly hindering
economic development, the United States provides economic aid
principally by supplying commodities for consumption and raw
materials and machinery for industrial production. For the fiscal
year 1961, new obligational authority of $724 million is requested,
an increase of $29 million over the amount enacted for 1960.
Special assistance.—New obligational authority of $268 million is
requested for economic assistance to promote economic and political
stability in various countries of the free world where the United States
is not supporting military forces, and for certain other special programs. In several instances, this assistance indirectly relates to
military bases maintained by the United States.
The appropriation recommended for special assistance in 1961 is
$23 million above the amount enacted for 1960. Additional programs
are proposed to help improve conditions in Africa, largely for education, public health, and administration.
Increased funds will also be devoted to certain worldwide health
programs in conjunction with the World Health Organization of the
United Nations. The largest of these is the malaria eradication pro-
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
gram, now in its fourth year. In addition numerous public health
projects are supported through technical cooperation.
Other mutual security programs.—Other programs include assistance
to refugees and escapees; grants of atomic research equipment,
including reactors, to the less-developed countries for training and
research in nuclear physics; support of the NATO science program;
and the United States contribution to the United Nations Children's
Fund. For the fiscal year 1961, new obligational authority of $101
million is requested, an increase of $1 million above the amounts
enacted for 1960.
Contingencies.—Experience has shown that economic and military
assistance is also required in some international situations which
cannot be foreseen or for which it is not possible to estimate in advance the specific amount needed. To cover situations of this type,
new obligational authority of $175 million is requested.
Other economic and technical development.—More resources
from countries of the free world are being channeled into economic
development by increasing the capital funds of international organizations. In the past year the capital of the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development was doubled and that of the International Monetary Fund increased by half.
The Inter-American Development Bank, with planned total resources of $1 billion, including $450 million from the United States,
is expected to begin operations before the close of this fiscal year.
Expenditures of $80 million are estimated in the fiscal year 1960 as
the first installment of the U.S. cash investment in the Bank. In
addition, guarantee authority of $200 million will be made available,
on the basis of which the Bank can sell its bonds to private investors.
Last October the Governors of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development unanimously approved in principle a
U.S. proposal for an International Development Association, which
will be closely affiliated with the Bank. Under this proposal, the
Association will make loans on more flexible terms than the Bank
is able to offer under its charter, such as loans repayable in the currency
of the borrowing country. In addition, it is expected that the charter
of the Association will contain provisions under which a member could
provide to the Association, for use in lending operations, other member country currencies which it holds. The draft charter of the
Association is being prepared and will probably be submitted to the
member governments early this year. Legislation authorizing U.S.
participation and making financial provision for membership will be
transmitted to the Congress at the appropriate time.
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Private investment.—The United States is trying to encourage more
reliance on private enterprise in foreign economic development.
During the past year, the Department of State and the Business
Advisory Council of the Department of Commerce have both completed special studies on ways to increase the role of private investment and management abroad. Tax treaties, with investment
incentive clauses, are now being negotiated with many countries.
More trade missions are being sent abroad. Several of the lessdeveloped countries are opening business information offices in this
country. As a result of these various activities, more private investment in the less-developed areas should be forthcoming. To provide
an additional incentive, U.S. taxation of income earned in the less-developed areas only should be deferred until repatriated.
Export-Import Bank.—The oldest Federal agency specializing in
foreign lending and the largest in terms of foreign loan volume is the
Export-Import Bank. In thefiscalyear 1961 the Bank plans to devote
an increasing share of its program to transactions which support
economic development abroad. At the same time the Bank plans to
finance its operations without requiring net budgetary expenditures by
encouraging more participation by private lenders in its loan program
and by using funds obtained from repayments on its large outstanding
portfolio.
Eligibility for assistance.—Amendments to the Battle Act to revise
the eligibility requirements for assistance to certain countries are
pending before the Congress. It is highly desirable that they be
enacted.
Conduct of foreign affairs.—The Department of State is making
plans to strengthen further the administration of foreign affairs in the
fiscal year 1961. The disarmament staff is being expanded in preparation for discussions on disarmament soon to begin in Geneva and for
the continuation of the negotiations on the suspension of nuclear tests.
Language training programs will also be expanded. New diplomatic
and consular posts will be opened in Africa, Latin America, South
Asia, and Eastern Europe. For these and other activities, new obligational authority of $205 million is requested for the fiscal year 1961.
Legislation is recommended to remove certain reservations on
acceptance by the United States of jurisdiction of the International
Court of Justice (the World Court).
Legislation will be requested for payment in the fiscal year 1961 of
certain war damage claims of the Philippine Government against the
United States in the amount of $73 million. These claims will be
partially offset by an amount, now estimated at approximately $24

MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
million, owed to the United States by the Philippine Government.
Pending legislation should be enacted in fiscal year 1960 to authorize
compensation of $6 million to displaced residents of the Bonin
Islands.
Foreign information and exchange activities.—New obligational authority totaling $168 million is requested for foreign information and exchange activities in the fiscal year 1961. The United
States Information Agency plans to expand its programs in Africa
and Latin America, including construction of a new Voice of America
transmitter in Africa. The Agency will make greater use of the growing number of television facilities overseas. The expansion of
domestic radio transmitting facilities, begun last year in order to
improve oversea reception, will continue. Exchanges of key persons
with about 80 other countries will be increased, with special emphasis
on leaders and teachers.
COMMERCE AND HOUSING
The improvements made in recent years in Federal programs for
outer space exploration, aviation, highways, the postal service, housing, urban renewal, and small business will be further extended by
this budget.
Expenditures for all commerce and housing programs in the fiscal
year 1961 are estimated at $2.7 billion, which is $293 million less than
the estimated expenditures for 1960. Proposed legislation to provide
adequate postal rates will reduce sharply the net budget expenditures
of the Post Office Department. Expenditures for other programs,
however, especially space exploration and the promotion of aviation, will increase substantially.
Space exploration and flight technology.—The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is carrying forward the nonmilitary
space projects started by the Department of Defense and has initiated
additional programs that will lay the foundations for future exploration and use of outer space. Estimated expenditures of $600 million
during the fiscal year 1961, nearly double the expenditures in 1960,
will carry forward the programs now under way and those becoming
the agency's responsibility in 1961. Appropriations of $802 million
for 1961, together with anticipated supplemental appropriations for
1960 of $23 million to restore substantially the Congressional reduction
in the space program last year, are recommended to finance these
programs. Legislation is being submitted to authorize the appropriations required for 1961 and to provide permanent authorization
for later years.

MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
ready to attempt actual maimed space flights within the next two
years. Progress on the development of very high thrust engines and
the vehicles to use them will make it possible, in the not too distant
future, to launch much larger space vehicles and thus extend the
conquest of space.
For the near future satellites and space probes will continue to
depend primarily on Thor and Atlas missiles as boosters, with the
Delta and Agena upper stages providing improved performance and
reliability. These vehicles will make possible a wide variety of highly
useful scientific experiments which will provide essential information
for future exploration of outer space by manned and unmanned
vehicles. Somewhat later the Centaur project will provide an Atlasboosted space vehicle with further improved capabilities and establish
the technology of very high energy propulsion for space vehicles. In
all of these projects, the success of the space vehicle launchings
depends on a strong continuing program of supporting research and
ground testing.
Transportation and communication.—The detailed review of
transportation problems and policies which I requested last year is
now nearing completion in the Department of Commerce. This
study should provide a sound basis for administrative actions and
for legislation that may be needed to assure adequate and balanced
growth of all branches of the Nation's transportation system.
Aviation.—Primarily because of the airways modernization program
now under way, expenditures of the Federal Aviation Agency will increase by $114 million to an estimated $681 million in fiscal year 1961.
New obligational authority of $717 million is requested mainly for
procurement and operation of radar equipment, airport landing aids,
communications, and other facilities needed to handle the rapidly
growing volume of air traffic safely and efficiently and for establishment and enforcement of air safety standards. Research and development activities are being accelerated to insure the further improvements in equipment and techniques required to meet future aviation
needs.
The Federal Aviation Agency is already making increasing use of
military facilities, and steps are under way to achieve a closer integration of air defense and civil air traffic control networks. Over the
next few years the Agency will also assume traffic control functions
now performed by military personnel at airbases throughout the
world, with significant savings in cost.
Expenditures for subsidy payments to the airlines by the Civil
Aeronautics Board are estimated at $69 million in 1961, an increase
of $31 million, or 80%, over the $38 million actually spent in 1958.
Almost all of the subsidy will go to local service airlines, including
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
helicopter operations in three major metropolitan areas and intraAlaska service. This rise and the prospect of even higher subsidies
in the future make necessary the consideration of proposals to reduce
the dependence of these airlines on the Government.
Airway user charges.—Consistent with the principle that special
beneficiaries of Government programs should pay the cost of those
benefits, the users of the Federal airways should ultimately be expected to pay their full share of rising capital and operating costs.
Accordingly, the effective tax on aviation gasoline should be raised
from 2 to 4% cents per gallon and the same tax should also be levied
on jet fuels, which are now tax-free. Receipts from all aviation fuel
taxes should be retained in the general fund rather than transferred
to the highway trust fund as at present. These actions will increase
revenues to the general fund by an estimated $89 million in fiscal
year 1961.
Promotion of water transportation.—Expenditures of the Department
of Commerce to aid water transportation will be sharply higher in both
1960 and 1961 than in 1959, primarily because of higher levels of payments required under past commitments for ship operating and construction subsidies. A supplemental appropriation of $32 million
will be requested for the current year to meet increased operating
subsidy obligations caused by lower earnings of the shipping industry
and to permit prompt payment of subsidies accrued.
Efforts to maintain a U.S. merchant fleet adequate, along with the
ships of our allies, to meet national defense requirements are seriously
hampered by high operating costs. To preserve the capability of our
merchant fleet without placing an undue burden on the taxpayer
will require willingness by ship operators, maritime labor, and the
Government to explore and adopt new solutions.
This budget provides for expanded work on advanced ship designs
that could bring sharply reduced operating costs. By extending the
operation of war-built vessels, which comprise more than 70% of the
subsidized fleet, over a somewhat longer period, the results of this
research can be more fully exploited in replacement plans. The
Secretary of Commerce is also undertaking a special study of sailing
requirements and competitive conditions of maritime trade routes
and services, in the hope of discovering opportunities to increase the
benefits flowing from the public investment in this area.
I repeat the request made last year that the 3%% interest rate ceiling
on ship mortgage loans made by the Maritime Administration be replaced by authority to charge the Government's full cost for such loans.
Work will continue on widening sections of the Panama Canal from
300 to 500 feet to facilitate the movement of increased ship traffic.
Largely as a result of this program and the increased disbursements
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
for the $20 million Balboa Bridge, which is being built to fulfill a
treaty commitment with the Republic of Panama, expenditures of the
Panama Canal Company in 1961 will be $10 million higher than in 1960.
Highways.—Federal payments of $2,728 million from the highway
trust fund in 1961 will enable the States to proceed with construction
of the Interstate System at a level consistent with the pay-as-you-build
principle established by the Highway Revenue Act of 1956 and reaffirmed by the Congress in 1959. Last year I recommended that
highway fuel taxes be increased by 1% cents per gallon for a period of
five years to meet estimated expenditure requirements. The Congress
after months of delay enacted an increase of only 1 cent for less than
two years.
As a result of both the delay and the failure to provide the full
amount of revenue requested, the roadbuilding program has been
slowed below a desirable rate of progress. The apportionments to the
States for future construction had to be reduced and a plan had to be
established to time reimbursements to the States so that the trust fund
could be kept in balance. By timely action and planning, however,
potential failures to reimburse States promptly for want of funds in
the trust fund have been avoided, and equitable and proportionate
programs in every State have been established.
I urge the Congress again to increase the highway fuel tax by another one-half cent per gallon and to continue the tax at 4% cents until
June 30, 1964. This will permit the construction program for the
Interstate System to proceed at a higher and more desirable level.
I request repeal of the diversion of excise taxes enacted last year for
the period July 1, 1961, to June 30, 1964. New reports giving estimates of the cost of completing the Interstate System and recommendations on the allocation of costs among future highway beneficiaries will become available in 1961. At the appropriate time, further
recommendations will be made to the Congress for the ensuing conduct
and financing of the program.
A temporary advance of $359 million from the Treasury to the
trust fund was necessary in fiscal 1960 to balance out the monthly
flow of revenues and expenditures within the fiscal year, but this will
be repaid by June 30, 1960. A similar temporary advance of $200
million will be required in the fiscal year 1961, repayable before the
end of that year.
During this session of the Congress, funds should be authorized
for 1962 and 1963 for regular Federal-aid highway programs and for
forest and public lands highways. In view of the limited resources
available to the trust fund and the priority requirements of the
Interstate System, it is recommended that authorizations for the
regular programs for each of these years be reduced to $900 million
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
from $925 million provided, for 1961. Annual authorizations of $33
million for forest highways and $3 million for public lands highways
are also recommended.
Finally, I again request that the financing of forest and public
lands highways be transferred from the general fund to the highway
trust fund. Most of these highways are integral parts of the Federalaid systems, and they should be financed in the same way.
Postal service.—The Post Office Department is intensifying its
efforts to improve service and to hold down the persistent postal
deficit while handling a growing volume of mail. Initial steps have
been taken to mechanize mail processing and to reduce serious congestion at major distribution centers. Ultimately, modern mail
processing plants will be established in all principal urban areas to
assure prompt and efficient deliveries.
The Postal Policy Act of 1958 established the policy that postal
rates should be adjusted whenever necessary to recover postal expenses, excluding the costs of certain public services as fixed by
appropriation acts. Over the past 13 fiscal years, 1947-59, the
Federal budget has had to finance postal deficits totaling $6.8 billion,
which is almost half of the increase in the national debt during that
time. At the average rate of interest on the outstanding debt the
taxpayers are paying well over $200 million annually in interest for
the unwillingness of the Congress to take timely action to increase
postal rates.
For fiscal 1961, a postal service deficit of $554 million is estimated
with postage rates now in effect or scheduled, after designating $49
million as attributable to public services. Rate increases enacted in
1958 were substantially less than needed to meet the deficit at that
time and made no allowance for the pay increase for postal employees
then enacted. Since then, increased railroad rates (up $55 million),
costs of modernization (up $80 million), and the new employee health
insurance program ($39 million) have widened the gap between
revenues and expenditures.
Accordingly, legislation is again proposed to increase first-class and
airmail rates by 1 cent and to raise other rates and fees by enough
to cover the postal deficit. I urge the Congress to act promptly on
these proposals, which will be submitted in the near future.
Housing and community development.—I have presented to
each of the past two sessions of the Congress a comprehensive program
of legislation for the Government's housing and community development programs. Some of these recommendations were enacted in
the Housing Act of 1959. This }7ear, legislation will be requested
only for the authority necessary to continue important existing pro-
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
grams and provide necessary flexibility in interest rates. The
authorization of additional funds for these programs should be subject
to appropriation action.
Urban renewal.— In the decade since Federal grants were first authorized, urban redevelopment has become recognized as essential to
the future vitality of our cities, and planning has been initiated on 647
projects in 385 communities. However, only 26 projects have been
completed. An additional 355 projects for which Federal funds have
been obligated are now under way, but progress on many of these has
been slow.
The budget, accordingly, places major emphasis on accelerating
program progress. Sixty-five projects are scheduled for completion
in 1960 and 1961. At the same time, the number of projects under
way is expected to increase from 355 at the end of 1959 to 510 at the
end of 1961. The acquisition of land for these projects in 1961 is
estimated at more than double, and the sale of land to redevelopers
at nearly triple, the 1959 amounts. As a result of the increased rate
of activity, a supplemental appropriation of $50 million will be necessary in the current year to pay capital grants for projects nearing
completion under prior contracts. Since the Housing Act of 1959
provided new contract authority for capital grants of $350 million for
1960 and $300 million for 1961, no additional obligational authority
will be necessary for this program for 1961.
Public facility loans.—The authority of the Housing and Home
Finance Agency to borrow $100 million from the Treasury for loans to
small communities for needed public facilities will be exhausted early
in 1961. An additional $20 million will be required to meet loan
applications through the end of the fiscal year 1961. Legislation
is recommended to authorize the provision in annual appropriation
acts of this amount and such future increases as may be necessary.
Public housing programs.—By the end of fiscal year 1961, about
500,000 federally-aided public housing units will be occupied and an
additional 125,000 units will be under contract for Federal contributions. In the allocation of new contracts authorized in the Housing
Act of 1959 emphasis is being given to projects which will be constructed in the near future. The 1959 act authorized 37,000 added
units of public housing, to be available until allocated. Accordingly,
no additional authorization is requested. Increases of $18 million in
1961 expenditures result primarily from rising Federal contributions
to local authorities under past contracts.
federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.—The share
accounts of savings and loan associations insured by the Federal
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation have increased fivefold
over the past 10 years. With a continuation of this rate of growth, the
insurance reserve of the Corporation cannot reach levels commensurate with the mounting insurance liability without an increase in
the present premium rate. I am, accordingly, recommending legislation to restore the higher premium rate in effect prior to 1949, to
remain in force until the reserve exceeds 1% of the share accounts and
borrowings of insured institutions. At the same time, the statutory
goal of a reserve equal to 5% of such accounts and borrowings exceeds
potential needs and should be reduced to 2%. In addition, the
Corporation should be given authority to borrow from private sources,
both to increase the available sources of funds to levels adequate to
meet any temporary borrowing needs and to reduce its potential
dependence upon the Federal Government.
Insurance of private mortgages.—The mortgage insurance programs
of the Federal Housing Administration will continue in 1961 to
underwrite a substantial share of the mortgages on residential housing.
While it is difficult to forecast mortgage insurance requirements, the
general mortgage insurance authorization of the Federal Housing
Administration now appears to be adequate to meet demands for
mortgage insurance until the next Congress is in session.
Sharp fluctuations in the demand for mortgage insurance during
recent years have caused the funds available for personnel under
appropriation act limitations to be inadequate in periods of heavy
demand to provide the staff required by the Federal Housing Administration for prompt service on applications. Supplemental funds are
usually not made available in time to meet this problem. To correct
this situation, appropriation language is being requested to permit
use of additional income for such expenses when actual demand exceeds the budget estimate.
Legislation should also be enacted to extend the authority for
insurance of loans on home improvements. This program, which
makes a major contribution to modernization of existing homes,
would otherwise expire on October 1, 1960.
Last year legislation was recommended to provide some flexibility
in maximum interest rates on mortgages originated under the housing
loan and guarantee programs of the Veterans Administration and
under certain mortgage insurance programs of the Federal Housing
Administration. The action taken by the Congress was inadequate,
and some of these programs are now seriously hampered by their
inability at present maximum interest rates to attract adequate private
capital. The Veterans Administration should be given the same
flexibility to adjust its interest rates to market conditions which is
now possessed by the Federal Housing Administration in its basic
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
mortgage insurance programs. In addition, the maximum interest
rate of 4%% on insured mortgages on armed services family housing
should be removed.
Veterans housing loans.—The direct housing loan program of the
Veterans Administration, which has been extended several times,
terminates July 25, 1960, and I am asking for no further authorization. At that time, over $1 billion of loans will be outstanding, and
the program will have provided over 150,000 loans to veterans. There
is no longer justification for continuing this readjustment program.
Mortgage purchases.—The authority of the Federal National Mortgage Association to borrow from the Treasury to purchase mortgages
under its special assistance program will be exhausted during 1961.
I am recommending legislation which would permit future increases
in authorizations to be subject to appropriation review. An additional $150 million is requested for 1961 for this program. The
additional funds will be used chiefly to buy mortgages on housing in
urban renewal areas, on housing for the relocation of displaced families,
and on housing for the elderly.
Special assistance for these mortgages is intended to be transitional,
and an increasing proportion of total financing should in the future be
obtained from private sources. With annual financing requirements
in excess of $1 billion already in sight for these programs, the need can
be met only with the full and active support of local communities and
private financial institutions.
At the same time, mortgage purchases by the Association's secondary market operations trust fund will continue at high levels.
Expenditures for such purchases are estimated at $1,047 million in
1960 and $975 million in 1961. These purchases will be almost wholly
financed through the sale of debentures to the public and the purchase
of common stock by mortgage sellers. Budget expenditures of $50
million, however, will be necessary for the additional Treasury purchases of the preferred stock of the Association required to support
the mortgage purchase program.
College housing.—No additional authorizations are proposed for the
existing college housing direct loan program. The housing needs of
our colleges and universities represent only a part of the need for new
university facilities of all types. These needs should be considered as
a whole and within the framework of the general problems of education. I have, accordingly, recommended the termination of the
college housing program and the enactment of legislation authorizing
a new program of grants and loan guarantees for college facilities, to
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
be administered by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (discussed under labor and welfare programs).
Small business*—The increase in financial assistance to small
businesses under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 will continue in 1961. I recommend the enactment of legislation previously
proposed to the Congress to encourage the formation of additional
investment companies by liberalizing the authority of these companies,
thus expanding the supply of private capital available to small businesses. Other loans by the Small Business Administration will continue at a high level, but less new obligational authority is recommended because repayments on outstanding loans will increase.
Efforts to assist small businesses in obtaining a fair share of Federal
Government procurement and surplus property will also continue.
In order to facilitate small business financing, the Securities Act of
1933 should be amended to extend the privilege of simplified filings to
a wider range of security issues.
Area assistance.—Despite the rapid economic recovery in the
Nation as a whole, unemployment remains high in a relatively small
number of local areas. The chronic problems in these communities reflect primarily basic changes in consumer buying habits, production methods, and industry location patterns. Some localities and
States have properly taken the initiative in measures designed to
meet these problems. In addition, the Department of Commerce,
with the cooperation of 13 other Federal agencies, is intensifying
existing Federal programs to encourage and support this local initiative. More help is required. Therefore, for the past four years, I
have requested expanded legislative authority, primarily for loans
and grants, to supplement existing Federal, State, and local programs.
Prompt enactment of this legislation is important. The budget includes an estimated $57 million in appropriations as the initial amount
necessary to provide the proposed additional Federal aid.
Regulation of commerce and finance.—The general growth of
the economy, newly legislated responsibilities, and the increased complexity of the problems which confront the regulatory agencies require
increases in funds for most of them. The largest single increase in this
category will permit the Federal Communications Commission to
make a thorough study of ultrahigh frequency television to determine
whether channels in this range can be used to meet the needs of the
expanding television industry.
I again recommend legislation to strengthen the antitrust laws,
including extending Federal regulation to bank mergers accomplished
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
through the acquisition of assets, requiring businesses of significant
size to notify the antitrust agencies of proposed mergers, empowering
the Attorney General to issue civil investigative demands in antitrust
cases when civil procedures are contemplated, and authorizing the
Federal Trade Commission to seek preliminary injunctions in merger
cases where a violation of law is likely.
Civil and defense mobilization.—Preparations for nonmilitary
defense have been seriously hindered by the unwillingness of Congress
to provide appropriations to carry out programs authorized by the
1958 amendments to the Federal Civil Defense Act. Funds are again
being requested for 1961, as well as in a supplemental appropriation for
1960, to help States and localities strengthen their full-time civil defense organizations. Increased funds are also required to finance
greater purchases of radiological instruments for donation to the
States; for expansion of the emergency preparedness activities of other
Federal agencies; and to carry on the national fallout shelter policy.
In accordance with the national fallout shelter policy, the Federal
departments and agencies have been directed to include fallout shelters
when appropriate in the design of new buildings for civilian use, and
funds for such shelters are included in the budget requests of the
various agencies. In addition, the budget of the General Services
Administration includes $6 million for a new fallout shelter program
at certain Federal relocation sites and in some existing Federal
buildings.
AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
In the fiscal year 1961, Federal programs for agriculture will again
have a heavy impact on the budget, primarily because of continued
high agricultural production and the past unwillingness of the Congress
to make appropriate modifications in the long-established price support laws. The longer unrealistic price supports are retained, the
more difficult it will be to make the adjustments in production needed
to permit relaxation of Government controls over farm operations.
Last year I proposed to the Congress urgently needed legislation
relating to price supports. Very little of that program was enacted.
I recommend that the Congress give this important matter early consideration.
Particularly urgent now is legislation to put wheat price supports
on a more realistic basis. Stocks of wheat are continuing to rise in
spite of our efforts to move wheat abroad through the International
Wheat Agreement, sales for foreign currencies, and grants to disaster
victims and needy people. The carryover of wheat stocks is expected
to rise to almost 1.4 billion bushels by July 1, 1960, an amount that

the Secretary of Agriculture to give special consideration, in allocating
conservation reserve funds, to those States and regions where curtailment of production of wheat or other surplus commodities is consistent with long-range conservation and production-adjustment
goals. The rental rates needed to induce farmers to withdraw cropland from production under the conservation reserve depend on the
income prospects from farming, which in turn are a reflection of the
levels of price supports. Therefore, the future authorization for the
conservation reserve program should not be increased above the 1960
level unless needed price support legislation is enacted for wheat.

MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
cultural resources in 1961 is $4.6 billion. This amount includes $1.3
billion to restore, to the extent necessary, the capital impairment of
the Commodity Credit Corporation resulting from previous price
support losses and $1.4 billion to reimburse the Corporation for
estimated costs and losses through the fiscal year 1960 of other programs financed through that agency.
Stabilization of farm prices and farm income.—Most of the recent
year-to-year variations in expenditures for agriculture and agricultural resources reflect changes in expenditures for price supports and
other programs to stabilize farm prices and farm income. During the
five fiscal years, 1955-59, Federal spending for these programs has accounted for 70% to 80% of the total for all agricultural programs.
In the fiscal year 1961, these programs are estimated to cost $3.9 billion, an increase of $450 million over 1960, but a decrease of $1.2 billion
from 1959.
Under present laws, price support expenditures for agricultural
commodities cannot be controlled through regular budgetary processes.
They are the result, mainly, of the loans and commodity purchases
that the Commodity Credit Corporation is required to make, and the
other price- and income-supporting programs that the Corporation is
required to finance, under existing laws. These expenditures reflect
the volume of production, consumption, and exports of price-supported
commodities, which, in turn, are influenced by such uncertain factors
as the weather and domestic and foreign economic conditions.
The budget estimate for 1961 reflects the residual effect of the
large 1958 and 1959 crops and assumes that yields on price-supported
crops for the 1960 crop year will be in line with recent averages;
also exports of farm commodities in the fiscal year 1961 may be down
somewhat from the high level expected in 1960.
The Sugar Act expires on December 31, 1960. To give sugar producers maximum time for production planning, action should be taken
early in the present session of the Congress to continue this program.
We are continuing to use our surplus agricultural production in many
ways for constructive purposes overseas through the "food for peace"
program. Under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance
Act of 1954 (Public Law 480), surplus wheat, cotton, corn, rice, and
other commodities are being sold abroad for foreign currencies.
These currencies are used principally as loans or grants for the economic development and common defense in foreign countries, and to a
lesser extent to finance various U.S. programs abroad. Surplus commodities are also being given to foreign governments for emergency
relief needs and to private relief organizations in support of their
programs abroad; over 60 million needy people benefited this past
year from these donation programs. Last year the executive branch
proposed certain amendments which, if enacted, would have made
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
this surplus disposal program more effective. It is recommended
that the Congress again consider these amendments.
Rural electrification and telephones.—About 96% of our farms now
have central station electric service, as compared with 11% in 1935.
The expanding use of power in the areas served by electric cooperatives financed by the Rural Electrification Administration continues
to require substantial amounts of new capital every year to provide
additional generating capacity and heavier transmission and distribution facilities. More than one-half of the total power sales by the
REA system are made to rural industrial, recreational, and other nonfarm customers. These nonfarm users now comprise over 80% of
the new customers being added.
The Rural Electrification Administration currently finances the
capital needs of the cooperatives by borrowing from the Treasury at
the statutory interest rate of 2 % and relending at the same rate.
Legislation is proposed under which REA would (a) borrow from the
Treasury at not to exceed the average rate of interest payable by the
Treasury on recently issued long-term marketable obligations, and
(b) make future electric and telephone loans at the same rate plus
one-fifth of 1% to cover administrative expenses and estimated losses.
Legislation now before the Congress to place the operations of this
agency on a revolving fund basis should also be enacted.
It is vital, looking ahead, that legislation be developed to enable
telephone as well as electric borrowers to obtain funds from a mutually
owned financing institution to meet the needs for the future growth
of these borrowers. Under this longer range plan, loans would
also be available from the Rural Electrification Administration to
meet special circumstances. The Secretary of Agriculture will
work with REA cooperatives and other interested parties in developing
such a proposal.
Farm ownership and operation.—In 1961, new direct loans and
administrative expenses of the Farmers Home Administration are
proposed in an amount equal to estimated collections on outstanding
loans. Loans are made to borrowers who are unable to obtain credit
from other sources at interest rates currently prevailing in their communities in order to finance farm ownership and enlargement, farm
operations, and soil and water conservation. Direct loans for farm
ownership and soil and water conservation are supplemented with
private loans insured by the Federal Government.
The present authority of the Secretary of Agriculture to make loans
to farmers and ranchers is the cumulative result of the enactment
of many separate laws over a long period of years. The legislation
now before the Congress to simplify, consolidate, and improve the
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
authority of the Secretary of Agriculture to make these types of loans
should be enacted. Also, the pending legislation to require the States
to share a greater part of the costs of farm disaster relief assistance
should be enacted.
Conservation of agricultural resources.—Expenditures under the conservation reserve program are expected to be $394 million in the fiscal
year 1961. Of this amount $362 million will be needed to fulfill commitments incurred in the crop years 1956 through 1960 under existing
authority, and $32 million will be used for conservation practice payments and additional operating expenses under proposed legislation
to extend this program for three years. Under the proposed legislation
it is planned to add about 9 million additional acres to the program
during the 1961 crop year, bringing the total at the end of that crop
year to about 37 million acres. Increases in expenditures required for
the 1961 crop year program will occur mainly in 1962 and later fiscal
years.
In both the 1959 and 1960 appropriation acts, the Congress maintained the agricultural conservation program at levels which far
exceeded my recommendations. As a result, expenditures of the
Agricultural Conservation Program Service are estimated to be $244
million in 1960 and $233 million in 1961. The advance authorization
for the 1961 agricultural conservation program, which will affect primarily fiscal year 1962 expenditures, should be limited to $100 million.
The lower program recommended, together with other public aids for
soil and water conservation, will meet the Nation's high-priority
conservation needs.
Federal policy on cost-sharing assistance in the future should be
concentrated on conservation measures which will foster needed shifts
to less intensive uses of cropland, and assistance should be eliminated
for practices which increase capacity to produce agricultural commodities already in surplus supply. Continuation of cost sharing for
output-increasing practices would directly conflict with the recommended expansion of the conservation reserve program under which
cropland is removed from production.
New obligational authority of $43 million is recommended for the
upstream watershed programs, including $28 million for projects under
the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. Of this amount,
$5 million is provided to initiate construction on projects involving an
estimated total Federal cost of $29 million.
New obligational authority of $10 million is requested for the Great
Plains conservation program, the same as for 1960. Under this program conducted in designated counties of the 10 Great Plains States,
the Federal Government provides cost-sharing and technical assistance
to farmers who enter into long-term contracts to make needed adjustments of land use on their farms.
520000—60

MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Research and other agricultural services.—Expenditures for research,
education, and other agricultural services, exclusive of programs financed with foreign currencies, will be about $8 million higher in the
fiscal year 1961 than in 1960. This amount will provide increased
support for the research programs on pesticide residues and on industrial uses of farm commodities. It will also provide increased support
for the rural development program which is making an important
contribution to the solution of the economic problems of rural areas
arising out of technological changes in agriculture and inadequate
employment opportunities.
In addition, it is estimated that $19 million will be spent in 1961 for
the purchase of foreign currencies, obtained from the sale of surplus
farm commodities, to be used for research and market development
work abroad. This compares with approximately $12 million in
foreign currencies to be used for this purpose in 1960.
NATURAL RESOURCES
The recommendations in this budget for Federal natural resource
programs take into account their great importance to the Nation's
economic growth and security.
The estimated total of $1.9 billion to be spent in the fiscal year
1961 for natural resources is more than has been spent for this purpose
in any previous year. The increase of $152 million over 1960 is
predominantly for water resources programs.
Water resources.—The Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of
^Reclamation will spend an estimated $1.2 billion in the fiscal year
1961 to construct, maintain, and operate flood control, navigation,
irrigation, power, and related projects. This record total includes, in
addition to operating costs, $965 million to continue construction on
projects started in 1960 or prior years, $12 million for advance planning, and $18 million for the first-year expenditures on 42 proposed
new starts. These new projects, as well as three new construction
starts by the Tennessee Valley Authority and one by the International
Boundary and Water Commission, are recommended in this budget
in the interest of balanced development of water resources.
For the Corps of Engineers, appropriations (as distinct from the
expenditures previously discussed) of $21 million are required for
starting 31 new projects and for an additional number of smaller
projects costing less than $400,000 each. The estimated commitments for these new projects total $301 million. Appropriations of
$6 million for 1961 are recommended for the Bureau of Reclamation

of a second unit in the Paradise steam powerplant and of other units
under way, including new generating capacity in the eastern part of
the TVA area. The Authority will start construction of the Melton
Hill project for navigation and power. In accordance with this administration's policy, and as authorized under the Tennessee Valley Authority Act as amended by the recently enacted revenue bond legislation, the power facilities portion of this project will be financed from
net power proceeds and revenue bonds, and the remaining portion will

on the Tennessee River. Appropriations are therefore recommended
for 1961 to begin construction of a new lock at Wheeler Dam.
Research for converting sea water and brackish water into fresh
water, carried on cooperatively by the Department of the Interior
and non-Federal groups, has progressed to the point where some
processes are in the development stage. Construction will begin in
1960 at Freeport, Tex., on a demonstration plant for conversion of
sea water, and $1.5 million is recommended in the 1961 budget for
the Federal cost of building the first brackish water plant as well as
a second sea water plant. Advance planning will be completed in
1961 on two additional demonstration plants.
Cost-sharing on flood protection projects.—It is essential that legislation be promptly enacted to establish a consistent basis for costsharing on projects which provide flood protection benefits. At the
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
present time, the various Federal agencies responsible for flood protection operate under different and confusing cost-sharing standards.
The non-Federal contributions vary from zero to over 60%. This
intolerable situation should be corrected. Legislation now before
the Congress would require generally that identifiable non-Federal
interests receiving flood protection benefits bear at least 30% of the
costs of flood protection. The value of lands, easements, and rightsof-way contributed locally would be included as part of this nonFederal share. The cost of operation and maintenance would also
be a State or local responsibility.
Mineral resources.—Amendments to the Helium Act were recommended last year to carry out a long-range plan for conserving helium.
This lightweight nonflammable gas is important to the Nation's atomic
energy and missile programs, and known deposits of it are extremely
limited. Under the legislation proposed, private industry would be
encouraged to finance, build, and operate plants which would make
helium available for conservation by the Department of the Interior.
Prompt enactment is needed to check the waste of this essential gas.
The Bureau of Mines will continue its research on improved methods
of production and utilization of coal and other minerals. Legislation
is again recommended to grant authority to the Secretary of the
Interior to contract for coal research, thus allowing the Secretary to
use outside scientific resources to assist the coal industry.
Other resource programs.—In the fiscal year 1961, programs for conserving and developing the resources of the public domain and Indian
lands will be carried on at about the 1960 levels. Although total
expenditures for forest resources are estimated at about the same
level in 1961 as in 1960, some increases are provided in 1961 to carry
forward the long-range program of the Forest Service for conservation
and development, including added facilities and services to accommodate campers and picnickers. It is expected that these increased
expenditures will be offset by a decrease in the unusually large 1960
outlays for fighting forest fires.
Receipts from the timber, grazing, and mineral resources on these
public lands are estimated to increase to a total of over $400 million
in 1961, including revenues from mineral leases on the Outer Continental Shelf. To obtain a more adequate return for use of federallyowned resources, legislation is again recommended to revise the fee
schedule for noncompetitive oil and gas leases on public domain lands.
In the interest of improving efficiency and providing convenience
for the non-Federal parties concerned, certain functions with respect
to land and timber exchanges should be transferred from the Secretary
of the Interior to the Secretary of Agriculture by legislation embodying
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
the basic provisions of Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1959, which was
disapproved by the Congress. In these exchanges, the Government
obtains non-Federal lands in exchange for national forest lands administered by the Secretary of Agriculture or for timber on such lands.
This legislation is needed to simplify the work relating to these land
exchanges.
Each year more of our citizens use and enjoy the national parks.
Expenditures of $86 million estimated for the National Park Service
in 1961 for recreational resources will provide for additional urgently
needed facilities and services for visitors, for maintenance and operation of the present facilities, and for selective acquisition of lands to
add to existing park areas.
Before it is too late we should take steps to preserve, for public
benefit, part of the remaining undeveloped shore areas. I hope,
therefore, that the Congress will enact during this session the legislation proposed in the last session to permit the Secretary of the Interior
to select and acquire for the national park system three areas which
would be of national significance because of their outstanding natural
and scenic features, recreational advantages, and other public values.
Contract authority is available to finance planned construction of
parkways, roads, and trails in the national parks and forests and on
Indian lands during 1961. Beginning in 1962, this construction
should be financed by direct appropriations, and the budget so contemplates.
Recent legislation increased the fee charged to hunters of migratory
birds and earmarked these revenues for acquisition of lands for
refuges and nesting areas. In 1961 land acquisitions from these
revenues will be four times those of the current year. Other proposed
increases in expenditures for fish and wildlife resources are mainly for
fishery research.
LABOR AND WELFARE
Budget expenditures for labor and welfare programs in the fiscal
year 1961 are estimated to reach an all-time high of $4.6 billion, of
which three-fourths will take the form of grants to States and localities.
The total expenditures are estimated to be $128 million more than
for the current year. The largest increase is for promotion of public
health, mainly for research and hospital construction, as a result of
much larger appropriations by the Congress in previous years.
Significant increases are also estimated for the support of basic
research provided by the National Science Foundation and for the
defense education and public assistance programs of the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare.
Budget expenditures for labor and welfare programs will be more
than double the amount a decade ago. During the same period,
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
trust fund expenditures for
these programs, including
social security and unemployment compensation,
will have quintupled to an
estimated $16.2 billion in
1961.

1961 totals $4.5 billion,
about lihe same as for
1960 but $356 million more
than for 1959. Reductions from 1960 are recommended in the grant-inaid programs for assistance
to schools in federallyaffected areas, for hospital
construction, and for waste
treatment works construction. Larger appropriations are proposed for
other presently authorized
activities in the fields of
science, vocational rehabilitation , e d u c a t i o n ,

addition, a number of new
programs are recommended to meet important national needs, particularly in the education
and labor fields.

MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
mental science can flourish. The Federal Government helps in the
attainment of these objectives through programs for support of basic
research, aid to educational institutions, and training assistance to
individuals in various fields important to the national interest. In
this budget I recommend increased appropriations for high-priority
education and research programs and enactment of new legislation to
authorize additional aids to education.
I am recommending repeal of the provision of the National Defense
Education Act that prohibits payments or loans from being made to
any individual unless he executes an affidavit that he does not believe
in or belong to any organization that teaches the illegal overthrow of
the Government. This affidavit requirement is unwarranted and
justifiably resented by a large part of our educational community
which feels that it is being singled out for this requirement.
Education.—Expenditures for the education-aid programs authorized by the National Defense Education Act of 1958 will increase
sharply in 1961. During the current school year more than 100,000
students from 1,368 colleges, about four times the number of students
last year, are expected to borrow from college loan funds to which the
Government makes repayable advances. A supplemental appropriation of nearly $10 million is proposed to enlarge this loan program for
1960. A small increase in appropriations is recommended for 1961
pending further experience on the rate at which loans will be made to
students. Increases are also proposed for fellowships for prospective
college teachers; for grants to States for science, mathematics, and
foreign language teaching equipment; for research in the educational
use of television and other media; for contracts with universities for
training of counselors and for foreign language training; and for grants
to States for vocational training in occupations requiring scientific
skills.
Appropriations of $70 million are requested for aids to science
education programs administered by the National Science Foundation,
an increase of $3 million over the amount provided in 1960.
The budget includes the same aggregate amount for vocational
education programs as was appropriated this year, but with shift in
emphasis. The need for Federal assistance in the vocational education programs begun in 1917 for the purpose of stimulating training in
agriculture, home economics, industrial trades, and distributive occupations is not as great as for promotion of training in new science-age
skills. Thus as increased funds for training needs in new skills are
provided under the National Defense Education Act, Federal assistance for the older programs is being reduced by a corresponding
amount.
Appropriations recommended for 1961 to assist school districts
whose enrollment comes partially from children whose parents work
MLO
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
or reside on Federal property a^re $54 million below those enacted for
1960 and are in line with requirements under legislation proposed by
the administration last year. The appropriation recommended for
these programs is the maximum which I believe should be provided.
The substantial increase in Federal employment during World War
II, which led to the enactment of this legislation in 1950, has been
superseded by a relatively stable Federal establishment. In many
cases, the presence of Federal installations in the communities adds
to rather than detracts from the revenue base for the support of
schools. This is particularly true where parents employed by the
Government live on private property which is subject to State and
local taxation even though they earn their income on nontaxable
Federal property. The proposed legislation would discharge more
equitably the Federal responsibility in these districts, and its prompt
enactment by the Congress is recommended.
The pressing need now is not for aid to federally-affected districts
on the basis initiated in 1950 but for general aid to help localities
with limited resources to build public schools. Despite encouraging
progress in the rate of school construction, many school districts are
still finding it difficult to avoid overcrowding and double sessions as
enrollments continue to mount. Moreover, increasing secondary
school enrollments require facilities which are much more costly than
elementary school classrooms. Last year the administration recommended legislation authorizing annual Federal advances to local
school districts to pay up to half the debt service (principal and
interest) on $3 billion of bonds to be issued in the next five years for
school construction. This legislation is designed to stimulate, not
supplant, additional State and local effort. Affirmative action should
be taken this year on that proposal.
Congressional approval of the administration's proposals for aid to
higher educational institutions is also essential. The enrollment
growth facing colleges and universities from 1960 to 1975 brings a need
for additional academic, housing, and related educational facilities.
To help colleges finance the construction required, the administration's
proposal would authorize Federal guarantees of $1 billion in bonds with
interest subject to Federal taxation, and would provide Federal grants,
payable over 20 years, equal to 25% of the principal of $2 billion of
bonds. This program would provide aid on a much broader basis,
and result in the construction of much larger total amounts of college
facilities per dollar of Federal expenditures, than the present more
limited college housing loan program which should be allowed to
expire.
Basic research.—To provide a strong foundation of fundamental
scientific knowledge for the Nation's future advancement, this budget
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
provides, in various functional categories including major national
security, expenditures totaling more than $600 million for support of
basic research in 1961.
Appropriations of $122 million are recommended for support of basic
research by the National Science Foundation, an increase of $34
million over 1960. The total includes $79 million for basic research
projects and $15 million for grants to universities for modernization
of graduate level laboratories under a program initiated in 1960. Increased support is also provided for scientific work of the Bureau of
Standards, including funds for two new laboratories, as a first step
in the construction of completely new facilities for the agency.
Oceanography.—Federal support of oceanography and related marine
sciences is being substantially augmented by several agencies under a
long-range program developed by the Federal Council on Science and
Technology to strengthen the Nation's effort in this field. This program stems from a study undertaken by the National Academy of
Sciences at the request of several agencies. The expansion of oceanographic research will be undertaken by the Navy, the Departments of
Commerce and the Interior, and the National Science Foundation.
Funds are provided for the construction of new vessels and the replacement of obsolete vessels, and for increased support for research by
private institutions.
Government statistical services.—Adequate and timely national
statistical information is essential for recording and appraising the
performance of the Nation's economy, and for formulating public and
private policies. Activities planned in various agencies for the fiscal
year 1961 will help close significant gaps in our statistical information
and make improvements in current data. Obligations for these purposes in the various functional categories of the budget are estimated
at $62 million, including $20 million for the decennial census and other
periodic statistical programs.
This budget includes funds for tabulating and processing basic
economic and demographic data collected through the Eighteenth
Decennial Census, and for the final publication of the results of the
1958 censuses of business, manufactures, and mineral industries.
Other recommendations include the initiation of a new series on the
service trades and the improvement of data on retail trade, on consumer prices, on health, on crop and livestock production, and on State
and local government finances.
Labor and manpower.—Last year the administration recommended and the Congress enacted much-needed legislation designed
to protect workers and the public from racketeering, corruption, and
MLOMESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
abuse of democratic processes which had been disclosed in the affairs
of a few labor unions. To assure effective and efficient administration
of this new law, the budget recommends supplemental appropriations
in 1960 for the National Labor Relations Board and the newly established Bureau of Labor-Management Reports in the Department of
Labor. Increased appropriations are proposed for both agencies for
1961. Additional funds needed by the Department of Justice will be
requested later when requirements can be better determined.
Appropriations of $326 million are requested in the fiscal year 1961
for grants to the States to administer the Federal-State employment
security system with its network of 1,800 offices throughout the
country. These grants are now financed from an earmarked Federal
tax and the transactions involved increase both budget receipts and
expenditures, even though these funds cannot be used for general
Government purposes. Legislation proposed by the administration
last year for financing this program through the unemployment trust
fund should be enacted. Amounts equal to the proceeds from this tax
could then be placed directly in the trust fund from which the necessary grants could be appropriated and an adequate balance could be
maintained as a reserve for employment security purposes. The
administration of the program would then be financed in essentially
the same way as other major social insurance programs.
The job placement services and unemployment compensation payments provided through the State employment security offices are
important for a smoothly operating free labor market in a growing
economy. These services and payments provide also for security
against economic hardship for the work force covered by the system.
I again urge the enactment of legislation to extend unemployment
compensation to some 3 million workers, primarily those employed
in small enterprises. Some States have recently made encouraging
progress in increasing the duration and level of benefits, but more
needs to be done and additional States should take these steps.
Action is needed to strengthen the financial position of the unemployment compensation system. Although the reserves of most
States proved adequate in the past recession, a few were and still are
in a precarious condition. Moreover, reserve funds in most States
have fallen behind the growth in payrolls during the last decade, and
in certain States could be inadequate in the event of future economic
distress. I have asked the Secretary of Labor to make a study of
this problem and to report to me his conclusions.
Previously proposed amendments to strengthen the basic authority
in the Welfare and Pension Plan Disclosure Act should be enacted,
and the protection of the Fair Labor Standards Act should be extended
to several million additional workers in accordance with previous
recommendations. Legislation is likewise again proposed to assure
MLOmESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
equal pay for equal work, and to strengthen and improve laws governing hours of work and overtime pay on direct Federal and certain
federally-aided construction projects.
Public health.—Advances in medical technology and the spread
of private health insurance have played important roles in raising
the level of health services for our rapidly growing population. At
the same time, the growing demand for better health care has contributed to shortages of facilities, medical and scientific manpower,
and supporting health workers, as well as to the rising cost of medical
and hospital services.
In order to deal effectively with these developments, the Federal
Government has expanded its public health programs and is actively
seeking solutions to the Nation's health problems. Expenditures in
the fiscal year 1961 are estimated to total $904 million, which is $53
million more than in 1960 and nearly three times the level five years
earlier. The largest part of the increase is for medical research and
training of research workers through programs of the National Institutes of Health, for which the estimated expenditures of $390 million
in 1961 will be four times as great as five years ago. Expenditures
for hospital construction grants are estimated at $161 million in 1961,
a threefold increase during the same period.
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare will insist on
maintaining high standards in determining the acceptability of
medical research projects for Federal support. As I indicated last
August in approving the 1960 appropriations for the Department,
it is essential that Federal grants for these projects be so administered
that medical manpower is not unduly diverted from other pressing
needs and that Federal funds are not substituted for funds from
private sources. The 1960 appropriation of $400 million for the
National Institutes of Health will not be entirely committed this
year even with advanced funding of certain training programs.
I am recommending that 1961 appropriations to the National Institutes of Health continue at the high level of 1960.
The recommended appropriation for the Hill-Burton hospital construction program for 1961 is consistent with the levels achieved by
this program before the 1958 recession. It will assure that sufficient
new general hospitals can be financed to keep pace with population
growth, cover current obsolescence rates, and provide for 6,000 new
beds to reduce the backlog of needs. The remainder of this program,
covering diagnostic and other special facilities, would approximate the
1959 and 1960 levels.
The 1961 appropriation proposed for construction of waste treatment facilities is the same as that requested for 1960. It represents
the maximum amount which I believe is warranted for a construction
mlo
MLOmESSAGEOF THE PRESIDENT
program which is and should remain primarily a State and local
responsibility.
Larger appropriations are proposed for other health programs where
present or impending needs create urgent priorities. Emerging health
problems of increasing seriousness to our population arise from the
complexities of the environment in which we live. To cope with
the far-reaching problems of environmental health on a more systematic and intensive basis, this budget provides substantial increases
to the Public Health Service for air pollution, water pollution, and
radiological health control activities. These increases for radiological
health, together with the stepped-up activity by the Atomic Energy
Commission and other agencies, will permit a greatly intensified effort
by the Federal Government in this field. In order to provide for
more effective Federal air and water pollution control activities, the
Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare will make legislative
recommendations to strengthen the enforcement provisions of the
Water Pollution Control Act and to authorize greater Federal leadership in combating air pollution.
Rapid technological developments in the production, processing, and
marketing of foods, drugs, and other products likewise underline the
necessity for more research and action for the protection of the consumer. To meet this need, the budget continues to emphasize an
orderly expansion of the Food and Drug Administration, expenditures
for which will be more than double those five years ago.
Social insurance and other welfare.—The social security
insurance system now provides basic protection against loss of income
from death, disability, and retirement to about 85% of our labor
force. Another 8% are covered under the railroad retirement system and other public retirement systems.
Social security and public assistance.—At the present time 10 million
of the 16 million people aged 65 and over are receiving monthly oldage or survivors insurance benefits. This vast insurance system,
which will pay $11.7 billion in old-age, survivors, and disability benefits to 14.6 million people of all ages in 1961, is administered at a cost
of about 2% of the social security taxes.
Our social insurance and public retirement systems provide basic
protection to the worker and his family. For those who have no such
protection and whose incomes are insufficient to meet basic needs, the
Federal Government shares, through grants to the States, in providing
four categories of public assistance payments. These are (1) old-age
assistance, (2) aid to the blind, (3) aid to dependent children, and
(4) aid to the permanently and totally disabled. In 1961, the Federal
share for payments, made to an estimated monthly average of 5.9
million beneficiaries, will total an estimated $2.1 billion, or about 58%
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
of the total Federal-State-local public assistance expenditures. This
contrasts with Federal expenditures of $1.1 billion, representing a
Federal share of 52%, for payments to 4.9 million individuals in 1950.
Public assistance has long been recognized as primarily a responsibility of the State and local governments, because need for these
payments in individual cases can best be determined at the local level.
I am particularly concerned about the growing Federal share, especially because it tends to weaken this sense of State and local
responsibility.
While we are spending hundreds of millions for aid to the needy,
there are large gaps in our knowledge of the causes of dependency
and of the best ways to alleviate or prevent it. I believe that appropriations to initiate a program of research and demonstration projects
designed to identify and alleviate these causes are highly necessary
and I have so recommended in this budget.
Military service credits.—It has long been recognized that military
service should be counted towards the rights of employees under the
various public retirement programs. Likewise, where employees
are not required to make payroll contributions during military service, the trust funds from which benefits based on such service are
paid should be reimbursed by the Government. However, the
Federal Government should not, as required under the Railroad
Retirement Act, pay more than the true cost of such benefits or pay
to both the railroad retirement account and to the old-age, survivors,
and disability insurance trust funds for the same military service
benefits.
Accordingly, I repeat my earlier recommendation that the Federal
Government should reimburse the railroad retirement account only
for the actual added cost of benefits resulting from military service.
Pending action on legislation dealing with substantial overpayments
found by the Comptroller General, no provision is made in this budget
for further Federal military service payments to either the railroad
retirement account or the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance
trust funds.
Other welfare services.—This budget includes recommended appropriations for vocational rehabilitation totaling $72 million for the
fiscal year 1961, primarily for grants to help the State agencies rehabilitate an estimated 93,000 individuals, about 6% more than in 1960.
Grants to all school systems in the States through the school lunch
and special milk programs of the Department of Agriculture are estimated at $234 million in 1961, approximately the same as in 1960.
These programs will provide improved diets for 11.8 million children,
on the average, in 1961. The 1961 amount is in addition to the commodities which are distributed to the schools through the disposal

programs classified in this budget under agriculture and agricultural
resources.
The health, employment, income, and other needs of the increasing
number of elderly people in our population can be met only through the
combined efforts and cooperation of private, local, State, and Federal
organizations and agencies. The White House Conference on Aging,
to be held in January 1961, and the State conferences which precede it
should help point the way toward more productive and satisfying
living for our aged citizens.
The realization of our aspirations for a better society in the years
to come will in large measure depend upon the way in which our
children and youth are prepared to realize their maximum potential.
This will be the vital concern of the White House Conference on
Children and Youth, which will be held in March 1960 and through
which private and public organizations will endeavor to bring their
wisest and most expert counsel together on this vitally important
matter.
VETERANS
SERVICES
AND
BENEFITS
Expenditures for veterans programs are estimated to rise by $314
million to $5.5 billion in 1961, chiefly because of additional pension
cases and higher pension rates, both authorized by the Veterans'
Pension Act of 1959. The increase for pensions, amounting to $438
million, will be partly offset by a decrease of $128 million in readjustment benefit expenditures.
Programs of the Veterans Administration, providing compensation
and pension, medical, and readjustment benefits for the Nation's veterans, rank fourth in size among all Government functions in this
budget. Total expenditures for these programs, as presently authorized, will continue to increase in future years as our veterans advance
in age. The 23 million living veterans, together with the dependents
and survivors of veterans, comprise a total of 81 million people, a
considerable proportion of whom are potential recipients of one or
more types of benefits.
This country has provided a wide range of benefits and services for
war veterans and their families to meet needs resulting from military
service. Disability and death compensation benefits have been provided for veterans who were injured in the service or for their survivors. The Servicemen's and Veterans' Survivor Benefits Act of
1956 improved the death benefit structure both for wartime and
peacetime servicemen. In 1957, general disability compensation rates
were increased by 10%, and a still larger increase was enacted in the
basic rate for the totally disabled.
A first-rate hospital and medical care program is also being provided. During the past year a long-range policy for stabilizing the
Veterans Administration's hospital program at 125,000 beds has been

unemployment and selfemployment compensation
payments to 9.7 million
veterans; education and training benefits to 8.4 million veterans; and
loan assistance to 5 million veterans for the acquisition or improvement of homes, farms, and businesses. Except for the loan guarantee and direct loan programs, which will terminate on July 25,
1960, the World War II readjustment benefits have essentially expired.
Similar readjustment programs, which will continue into 1965 for
veterans of the Korean conflict, have already provided 2.3 million
veterans with education and training benefits and 700,000 with loans.
The special unemployment compensation program for Korean conflict veterans which ends in 1961 has aided 1.3 million veterans. No
further extension or liberalization of these benefits is needed.
The long-standing veterans pension program also provides special
assistance to war veterans for needs not arising from military service.
The Veterans' Pension Act of 1959 was an important step in the
modernization of the program. It eliminated the disparity in eligibility for pensions between the widows of World War I veterans and
those of later wars, and provided higher benefits for all persons who
could demonstrate need under a new sliding scale income test. No
further liberalization of the laws concerning pensions for non-serviceconnected disability is proposed.
In addition to the special veterans programs, a great majority of
veterans participate in the general social security, health, and welfare
programs which are financed wholly or in part by the Federal Government. In the future these general programs will provide with
increasing adequacy for the economic security needs of our elderly
population, of which veterans and their widows will constitute a large
and increasing proportion for several decades.

1 Compares with new obligational authority of $5,125 million enacted for 1959
and $5,176 million (including $114 million in anticipated supplemental appropriations) estimated for 1960.
Readjustment benefits.—Readjustment assistance is expected to decline significantly from 1960 to 1961, primarily because of the reduction in the number of veterans of the Korean conflict participating in
educational or vocational training programs. An average of 225,000
veterans will receive training in 1961, compared to 325,000 in 1960
and 425,000 in 1959. Educational benefits for war orphans, which
were enacted in 1956, are expected to total over $17 million in 1961.
Peacetime ex-servicemen are recognized as being in a different
category from wartime veterans because of the different conditions
under which they serve. Those who serve in peacetime undergo
fewer rigors and hazards than their combat comrades. The disruption
of their educational plans and careers is minimized under peacetime
selective service procedures. While on active service they now receive
substantial pay and benefits, and they return to civilian life under more
favorable conditions after receiving valuable training while in service.
To discharge its responsibility to peacetime ex-servicemen, the
Federal Government has provided unemployment compensation,
employment service and reemployment rights, and service-connected
disability or death compensation. One additional benefit should be
added to these in accord with my earlier recommendations: a program
of vocational rehabilitation for those with substantial service-con-
M66 MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
nected disabilities. On the other hand, I oppose the establishment of
special educational and loan guarantee programs for peacetime
ex-servicemen. Such benefits are not justified because they are not
supported by the conditions of military service. Moreover, they
would be directly contrary to the incentives which have been provided
to encourage capable individuals to make military service a career.
Compensation and pensions.—Expenditures for compensation for
service-connected disabilities and deaths will show only a minor
change in 1961. A reduction in the number of World War I and II
veterans on the rolls will be offset somewhat by the addition of
veterans of the Korean conflict and peacetime ex-servicemen. Compensation will be paid for an estimated 2.4 million cases during 1961.
The net impact of the 1959 law governing non-service-connected
pensions is to add several hundred thousand new cases to the rolls at
an estimated additional cost of $284 million in 1961 and an estimated
cumulative cost of $9 billion during the next 40 years. Expenditures
are also increasing because of the growing number of World War I
veterans reaching age 65. Approximately 40% of all World War I
veterans over 65 are now receiving pensions. An average of 1.9
million veterans and families of deceased veterans are expected to
receive pensions in 1961; this is 26% more than in 1960 and 38% more
than in 1959.
Hospital and medical services.—The budget includes $928 million of
expenditures in 1961 for hospital and medical care for veterans. The
increase of $22 million from 1960 is to continue improvements in the
staffing and quality of service in the hospitals and to meet the higher
costs of hospital and medical care generally. Hospital and domiciliary
care will be provided during the year for an average of 141,250 beneficiaries per day, and a total of 2,300,000 veterans will receive medical
or dental care for service-connected disabilities in outpatient clinics.
Hospital construction.—As a first step toward an orderly 12-year
program for modernization of existing veterans' hospital facilities, an
appropriation of $75 million is proposed for 1961. Of this total,
$53 million is for construction of replacement hospitals at Cleveland,
Ohio (800 beds); Washington, D.C. (700 beds); and Martinez, Calif.
(500 beds). The remainder is for a large number of modernization
projects.
Administration.—The general operating expenses of the Veterans
Administration are expected to decline approximately 7% in 1961,
reflecting decreased workloads in loan and educational programs,
improved administrative procedures particularly in insurance operations, and the application of modern electronic equipment to recording and paying veterans benefits.

For a year and a half now, market rates of interest have been increasing, reflecting inflationary pressures, the high level of investment
demands in our economy and heavy Federal borrowing required by
the 1958 and 1959 budget deficits. The rise in market rates requires
the Treasury to pay higher interest on securities issued to refinance
the heavy volume of maturing obligations, which were issued when
interest rates were lower.
It is imperative that the Congress lift the present legal ceiling of
4}i% on interest rates on all Government obligations having maturities
of more than five years. Otherwise, interest payments could rise even
more sharply. The current interest rate on shorter term securities is
now higher than on long-term bonds, and the continued need to limit
financing to the short-term market tends to raise interest rates more
than if the financing could be spread over both the short- and longterm markets.
GENERAL
GOVERNMENT
Expenditures for general government activities are estimated to rise
by $200 million to $1.9 billion in the fiscal year 1961, primarily because
of increased construction of Government buildings and a new appropriation to the civil service retirement fund required by law.
M66 MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Federal financial management.—There is growing evidence that a considerable amount of revenue is lost annually to the
Government because of
the failure of some individuals and businesses to
report fully the income
which they have received.
The existence of such a
condition seriously weakens the integrity of our
tax system, and places an
unfair share of the total
tax burden upon the vast
majority of citizens who
conscientiously report all
of their taxable income.
This budget includes an
increase of $29 million for
the Internal Revenue
Service, primarily to
strengthen its enforcement
programs, including initiation of an electronic computer system. I urge its
approval as the first step
in a long-range plan to
prevent this revenue loss.
The additional costs should
be recovered many times
through increased tax collections in later years.

General property and records management.—The efficient and economical operation of many Federal agencies is hindered
by inadequate office space, much of which is rented. Accordingly,
new obligational authority of $185 million is recommended for fiscal
year 1961 for the planning and construction of additional general
office space. Although no funds for such construction were appropriated for 1960, expenditures will rise in 1961 as outlays for new construction are added to those for construction initiated in prior years.

1 Compares with new obligational authority of $1,795 million enacted for 1959
and $1,645 million (including $7 million in anticipated supplemental appropriations) estimated for 1960.
In addition, the estimate for the legislative functions includes increased
expenditures for a new office building for the House of Representatives.
The General Services Administration, in collaboration with other
agencies, has developed a new program for improved use of excess
personal property by Federal agencies, and faster, more efficient disposal of surplus property. This involves more effective screening of
such property and simplifying the procedures under which agencies
are advised of its availability for other uses.
Central personnel management.—The Civil Service Commission and
the Bureau of the Budget have recently recommended a long-range
policy on financing the civil service retirement system. I hope the
Congress will speedily enact these recommendations, which would assure continued availability in the fund of the full amount of the net
accumulations from employee contributions and establish a definite
basis for meeting the Government's share of the costs consistent with
the principle that its full faith and credit support the authorized
benefits.
A new appropriation of $46 million for payments to the civil service
retirement fund is requested for 1961 to finance the costs of new or
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
increased benefits enacted in 1958 for certain widows or widowers of
former Federal employees and for certain retired employees. The law
provides that these particular benefits cannot be continued after July
1, 1960, unless such an appropriation is made. Recipients of these
benefits should enjoy the same assurance of uninterrupted payment
as do other annuitants of the civil service retirement system, and the
Federal liability in their case is not different from that for other benefits under this program. Accordingly, I recommend that the Congress
consider, in connection with the legislation referred to in the preceding
paragraph, authorizing the civil service retirement and disability fund
to bear the future cost of these particular benefits without a specific
appropriation.
The budget provides approximately $120 million to pay the Government's share of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Act of 1959,
which becomes effective in the fiscal year 1961, and which will provide
opportunity for approximately 2 million employees and 2.4 million
dependents to have reasonable protection against the cost of both
basic and major health care. This program will add substantially
to employee fringe benefits, which in the aggregate now compare very
favorably with those provided to employees in private industry.
In 1958 immediately following enactment of a 10% general salary
increase for Federal civilian employees, I proposed to the Congress a
review of all compensation systems in the three branches of the Federal
Government, directed toward adoption of an equitable employee compensation policy. This recommendation was renewed in my budget
message for the 1960 fiscal year.
It has been more than 30 years since a thorough-going review has
been made of the manner in which the Federal Government compensates its employees. There are now dozens of pay plans in the executive branch alone. Review and coordination of the excessive number
of pay plans now in existence are the most effective means of removing
inequities which adversely affect the Government's ability to recruit
and retain qualified personnel in some fields. Continued patching of
individual Federal salary systems is not satisfactory as a substitute
for a comprehensive Federal pay policy, which should be developed
either by authorizing a Joint Commission such as I proposed or by
some other equally effective means. Pending development and adoption of such a comprehensive policy, a general pay raise would be
unwarranted, unfair to the taxpayers of the United States, and inequitable as among employees compensated under different and unrelated pay systems.
The budget estimates for the Post Office Department assume
legislative action to continue that part of the 1958 salary increase for
postal field service employees which expires on January 20, 1961.
M63
M66 MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Civilian weather services.—Appropriations totaling $63 million are
recommended for the fiscal year 1961 for the Weather Bureau. The
$12 million increase over the amounts enacted for 1960 will permit
expanded research, weather observation, and forecasting services.
These improvements are necessary primarily to keep pace with
advances in air traffic controls. Research projects include intensive
investigation of hurricanes and tornadoes, and the development of a
semiautomatic system for the collection and analysis of weather data.
Hawaii.—Our Union was greatly strengthened in 1959 by the
admission of the States of Alaska and Hawaii. As in the case of
Alaska, comprehensive legislation will be necessary to enable Hawaii
to take its place as the equal of the other 49 States. Recommendations will be transmitted to the Congress concerning those changes
needed in Federal laws in order to bring Hawaii under the same
general laws, rules, and policies as are applicable to the other States.
Territories, Possessions, and District of Columbia.—Completion of
action on statehood for Alaska and Hawaii makes it all the more
urgent that legislation to provide home rule for the District of Columbia be enacted without delay. Both equity and efficiency require
that the people of the Nation's Capital be given a voice in their own
local government and that the role of the Federal Government be
limited to matters of Federal concern.
Legislation will shortly be proposed to the Congress to establish
a Government corporation to develop an improved mass transportation system in the National Capital metropolitan area, pending
creation of an interstate agency to assume this responsibility.
To foster further development of democratic institutions and in
keeping with the growth of local self-government, action should be
taken to authorize the Virgin Islands and Guam to be represented in
the Congress through nonvoting resident commissioners.
Intergovernmental relations.—There are many problems requiring
attention of the recently established Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. Foremost among these are the problems
of allocation of tax sources among various levels of government and
rapid growth of metropolitan areas.
An aspect of intergovernmental relations requiring attention in
both the legislative and executive branches involves a series of court
decisions permitting local taxation of federally-owned property in
the hands of contractors and leaseholders. This matter should be
resolved in the context of the broader subject of Federal payments
in lieu of taxes.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Other recommendations.—Legislation enacted in the last session of
Congress to amend the immigration and nationality laws failed to
cover several significant proposals, including modification of the quota
system. Prompt action is needed on these remaining items.
To strengthen the Government's hand in restraining inflationary
forces, I urge that the Employment Act of 1946 be amended to make
reasonable price stability an explicit goal of Federal economic policy,
coordinate with the goals of maximum production, employment, and
purchasing power now specified in that Act.
I urge the Congress to enact the remaining six points of the civil
rights program that I recommended last year. The Civil Rights
Commission, extended for an additional two years by the last session
of Congress, continues its important work and has developed additional constructive recommendations, particularly for protecting the
right of every citizen to vote. I hope these recommendations will
also be earnestly considered by the Congress.
I also recommend that the Congress create additional Federal judgeships, as proposed by the Judicial Conference, and strengthen Federal
laws against organized crime.
Legislation will be submitted to increase the authorization for
appropriations for the Commission on International Rules of Judicial
Procedure in order that it may complete its work successfully.
It is important that legislation now before the Congress be enacted
to provide reimbursement to Americans for certain property damage
in Europe and the Far East during World War II for which compensation has not previously been authorized.
I again recommend that a system be devised for suitable recognition
in the United States for distinguished achievement in various fields of
endeavor.
IMPROVEMENTS IN BUDGETING, ORGANIZATION,
AND MANAGEMENT
The decisions made by Government are vital to so many aspects of
our national life that improvement of the procedures through which
these decisions are made should be a continuing major goal. A substantial number of important specific steps can and should be taken
to improve these practices.
Revisions in authorization and appropriation procedure.—Contract
authority and authorizations to spend from debt receipts in basic
legislation outside the appropriation process are generally inconsistent
with sound standards of budget practice. The recommendations being
placed before the Congress in this budget are based upon the principle

military and atomic
energy construction in this
budget, and much of defense procurement beginning in fiscal 1962,
will require separate authorizations before appropriations can be considered. Under this procedure these programs receive a duplicating
review each year. At the same time the value of legislative consideration and expression of long-range program objectives and amounts
is largely lost, and agency personnel devote an inordinate amount of
time to the congressional process at the expense of effective administration of the continuing program. I hope the Congress will find it
possible generally to make authorizing legislation cover program
requirements for longer periods of time.
In the interest of good government, methods to expedite the
authorization and appropriation processes should be found. In order
to facilitate early consideration, and also to show the Government program more fully, this budget includes specific proposed appropriations for a number of programs for which authorizing legislation must
also be renewed. In most of these cases, proposals for such legislation
will be submitted in a very short time. This procedure should be an
improvement over the past practice of delaying submission of detailed
estimates until the renewing legislation has been enacted.
Before the executive budget is presented to Congress annually, the
most careful consideration is given to the relationships of spending to
receipts and borrowing, and to relative priorities of various programs.
When the budget reaches the Congress, however, its consideration
is usually fragmented because of the distribution of responsibilities
among the various committees and subcommittees. I believe that the
Congress should find means by which it can more effectively examine
the budget as a whole and base its actions on the overall fiscal situation.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Provision for item veto.—In passing the Alaska and Hawaii statehood acts, the Congress again recognized the value of an item veto by
a chief executive by approving provision for its use in their State
constitutions. Forty-one State Governors now have item veto
authority. Many Presidents have recommended it, but the Congress
has not yet granted the President of the United States that power.
I again recommend it.
Control of foreign currencies.—The Government receives from its
operations considerable quantities of foreign currencies each year.
Much of this currency is earmarked for grants to and loans in the
country concerned, and some is available for programs of the U.S.
Government. In many countries the currencies available to us are
needed for conducting normal U.S. operations, yet such use is prevented in some cases by statutes or by the international agreements
under which the currencies are received.
As a result of a detailed study, this budget includes provisions to
bring under budget and appropriation controls all foreign currencies
available for U.S. agency operations which are received from the
sale of surplus agricultural commodities. This change will not alter
total appropriations or expenditures, but will increase those of the
agencies using the currencies and decrease those of the Commodity
Credit Corporation. Accordingly, I intend that no more allocations
be made for uncontrolled use after the current fiscal year except for
country grants and loans committed in international agreements, and
I recommend that at an appropriate time the Congress remove from
the laws the provisions which permit uncontrolled use for other
purposes. I am also instructing that in future negotiations of international agreements we endeavor to avoid restrictions which would
limit our ability to apply normal budget and appropriation controls to
the use of those currencies which are earmarked for U.S. agency
operations.
Improved funding for public enterprises.—Major business-type
activities of the Government should, with few exceptions, operate on
a self-sustaining basis. Their budgets and accounts should permit
ready comparison of their expenses and revenues. They should have
simplicity in their financing structure and the flexibility in expenditures necessary to meet unforeseen business conditions, but should be
expected to keep their obligations and expenditures within the resources provided by Congress for that purpose, and should be subject
to annual review and control by the Congress. Accordingly, I recommend that the Rural Electrification Administration, the Farmers
Home Administration, the Bureau of Reclamation, the powermarketing agencies of the Department of the Interior, and the loan
M63
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
M66
guarantee programs of the Veterans Administration be financed
through revolving funds. Similar recommendations may be made
in due time for other business-type activities.
Legislation is again being recommended to bring under budget
review the activities of those few Government corporations which
are now exempt from such review, but possess authority to draw
money from the Treasury or to commit the Treasury for future
expenditures. This can best be done by including them under the
budget provisions of the Government Corporation Control Act.
Revision of budget presentation.—In this budget more than half of
the 626 appropriation accounts of the executive branch have been
presented on a cost basis. The remaining appropriations, including
those for the Department of Defense, will be converted to this basis
as soon as possible. This budget also provides for accrued expenditure limitations for 12 appropriations, in accordance with legislation
enacted in 1958. Such limitations are recommended to permit closer
congressional control over annual expenditures.
The customary totals of budget receipts and budget expenditures
are distorted by the inclusion in both of interest and other payments
by public enterprise funds to the general fund of the Treasury. Such
interfund payments amounted to $355 million in the fiscal year 1959,
and are estimated at $737 million for 1960 and $779 million for 1961.
While this duplication does not affect the amount of the budget
surplus or deficit, it does overstate the size of the budget receipts
and expenditures. To correct this it is planned that such amounts,
while still shown within the figures for the affected agencies, will be
eliminated from budget totals in financial statements on Government
operations beginning with the fiscal year 1961. I also plan to present
the 1962 budget so as to remove this duplication. However, in order
to preserve full comparability with previous budgets, no such adjustments are shown in the amounts in this document. If adjustments
had been made, the net totals would appear as follows:

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Strengthening of organization and management.—From the beginning
of this administration I have placed emphasis on obtaining the best
possible executive ability in the administration of the widespread and
diverse activities of the Federal Government and on providing the
best organizational structure in which officials can carry out their
responsibilities. This continued emphasis is essential not only to
operate the complex machinery of government effectively, but also to
meet the constant flow of new problems of organization and management.
In recent years several major organizational improvements have
been made, including the establishment of the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, the Federal Aviation Agency, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as well as new organizational structures for defense programs and for civilian and defense
mobilization activities. The many actions taken on recommendations
of the two Hoover Commissions have also resulted in more efficient
administration.
The Reorganization Act of 1949, as amended, under which numerous
executive agencies and functions have been reorganized, contains a
limitation of June 1, 1959, for the transmittal of reorganization plans
by the President to the Congress. Accordingly, this authority is not
now available. I urgently recommend that this cutoff date be removed in order to permit continued use of that act by me and by my
successor in improving the management and organization of the
executive branch.
The search for better management and operations is a never-ending
process. Like all large organizations, the Federal Government continues to have management problems. For example, property management offers an enormous challenge, and in the past year greater
attention has been focused on it. Application of new data-processing
techniques to Government operations is under constant study. The
Post Office Department is improving its operations by installing
modern methods of mail handling and transportation. The Treasury
Department is using up-to-date data-processing equipment to achieve
more effective administration of disbursements and revenue collection. These are but a few of many examples, and this budget provides for further improvements.
At my request, the heads of all Government agencies will give
renewed emphasis to the review of management procedures and operating activities to make sure that the most modern methods, techniques, and equipment are in use. All agency heads have been
encouraged to continue to search for the best practices in other
M63
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
M66
Government agencies, in business, or in industry, to apply them in
their own agencies to the extent possible during the term of this
administration, and to leave to their successors a legacy of plans for
further improvement.
The plans presented in this budget meet the Nation's immediate
needs and will support continuing sound economic growth in the
future. The achievement of these plans, however, will in the last
analysis depend on the people themselves.
I believe our people have the determination to hold expenditures in
check, to pay their own way without borrowing from their children,
to choose wisely among priorities, and to match sound public policy
with private initiative. It is that determination which is the key to
continued progress and sound growth with security. It is that determination which reinforces the recommendations I have made.

INTRODUCTION
Part II contains the details of the budget for Federal
funds, including various types of tables and schedules,
explanatory statements of the work to be performed and
the money needed, and the text of the language proposed
for enactment by Congress on each item of authorization.
Included herein is also material on a few trust funds
which require congressional action.

This part of the budget begins with 4 statements (tables
6 through 9) which supplement the tables of part I. The
remainder of part II is arranged in chapters reflecting the
organization of the Government.
Each chapter begins with a summary narrative statement and certain summary tables. These are followed
by detailed material for each appropriation or fund.

arranged by bureau or comparable organization unit and,
for each such unit, is divided into several sections: Current authorizations (other than for public enterprise and
intragovernmental funds), permanent authorizations, public enterprise and intragovernmental funds, and supplemental items proposed for later transmission.
Authorizations by type.—Forms of new obligational
authority other than appropriations are set forth under
the applicable account titles, indentified by separate line
entries. A recapitulation at the end of the account listing
shows the authorizations divided between current and
permanent and classified by type. In this recapitulation
new obligational authority for public enterprise and intragovernmental funds is classified with other authority of
the same type. The figures are carried forward into a
governmentwide summary in table 7.
Classification by function.—Functional code numbers
appear in a separate column of the chapter listings,
indicating the category in the functional table (special
analysis C of part IV) where each item has been included.
Transactions of public enterprise funds.—An appended
table in each chapter is used for public enterprise funds.
It shows the gross expenditures, the receipts from operations, and the budget expenditures (the difference between the two other figures). The figures for gross
expenditures and for receipts are derived from the detailed
business-type budget statements, which show expenditures and receipts on an accrual basis with a single adjustment (on either the expenditure or receipt side but not
both) for the conversion from an accrual to a checks-issued
basis (net). The figures from the chapters are totaled in
table 9.
SUMMARIES OF BALANCES CARRIED FORWARD
An analysis of unexpended balances for each chapter
shows the balances of budget authorizations carried forward at start and end of the past, current, and budget
years. These balances are summarized in table 8.
Many budget authorizations are available for obligation for only 1 year, but some are available for longer
periods of time or without time limit. In the case of those
which are for a specific period of time, unobligated balances are written off at the end of that time, but obligated
balances remain available indefinitely to pay outstanding
obligations lawfully incurred.
In the case of salaries and wages, travel, and like items,
the lag between obligations and expenditures is usually no
more than a few weeks or a few months. In the case of
construction, major procurement, certain research contracts and similar items, the lag between obligations and
expenditures may be 1 or 2 years or even longer.
Balances are not in the form of cash, but are book10

CONTENTS
keeping authority for the incurring of obligations or for
the making of expenditures. Cash must be provided at
the time the expenditures occur.
The unobligated balance for each account or fund represents the difference between the unexpended balance and
the net obligations outstanding. Net obligations outstanding represent the unpaid obligations (both those
which have accrued into liabilities and those which are
undelivered or unperformed) less the accounts receivable
and intragovernmental orders for services or material
which have been accepted but have not yet become
receivables.
RELATIONSHIP OF TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
The total amount available—new obligational authority
plus balances brought forward and adjustments—is shown
on the last of the chapter summary tables, together with
the expenditures and other disposition made of the
amounts available. The body of the table is arranged to
"flow" from start to end of the year; obligations incurred,
net, are shown for reference at the end.
Similar information, but arranged to place obligations
incurred within the sequence of the table's flow, is summarized for the Government as a whole in table 6.
Writeoffs, restorations, and other adjustments in availability.—Writeoffs of unused balances of authorizations
occur in four ways: (a) rescissions by act of Congress;
(b) the automatic lapsing of unobligated balances when
an appropriation expires for purposes of obligation; (c) the
return of capital and transfer of dividends from revolving
funds to the general fund; and (d) adjustments in the
obligated balances of expired accounts due to the payment
of obligations in smaller amounts than anticipated or to
the amendment or canceling of obligations.
Restorations of balances previously written off occur in
the case of expired accounts when the balances left for
payment of old obligations are insufficient to cover them,
due to payments in larger amounts than anticipated, the
amendment of obligations, or the discovery of previously
unrecorded items.
Obligations incurred, net.—The obligations incurred are
stated on a gross basis in the detailed schedules, but are
summarized on a net basis, consistent with the method of
stating budget expenditures and new obligational authority. Thus, the summary figures are based on total
obligations incurred less reimbursements to appropriation
accounts, revenues and other receipts of revolving funds,
and recoveries of prior obligations.
Authority for expenditures.—Expenditures for the budget
year are broken down on two tables in each chapter summary into those coming out of new obligational authority
of the same year and those coming out of balances, etc.
It is generally assumed that prior year balances available
in commingled 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.
ESTIMATES FOR F E D E R A L
F O R M OF D E T A I L E D
For each appropriation, the budget includes certain
detailed material, as follows: (1) appropriation language,
if applicable; (2) a schedule of program and financing;
(3) a narrative statement on program and performance;
(4) a schedule of object classification. An exception occurs in the case of certain permanent appropriations and
other older appropriation accounts on which only a residual
balance remains; such accounts of a bureau or independent
agency are often combined into a single presentation
instead of having detailed schedules. In cases where the
total obligations fall in a single object class, the object
classification is identified in the program and financing
schedule, rather than in a separate schedule.
In the case of revolving funds, there is usually the material listed above, together with three additional schedules, covering (5) the sources and application of funds;
(6) revenue, expense, and retained earnings; and (7) financial condition. For some intragovernmental revolving
funds the program and financing schedule is omitted.

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

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

LANGUAGE
The language proposed for inclusion in the 1961 appropriation acts is printed at the head of each item requiring
action by Congress, except for those items which are not
formally recommended at this time but will be proposed
for later transmission. The language of the 1960 appropriation acts is used as a base. Following the language
are citations to relevant laws and the appropriation act
from which the text is taken, as in this example:
SCHEDULE

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

NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF PROGRAM AND
PERFORMANCE
The work planned and services proposed to be carried
out are described briefly in a narrative statement for each
appropriation or fund. Where practicable the narrative
statement indicates the expected accomplishment in relation to the financial estimates, and it gives some measures
of program and performance. Numbers and program
headings in the statements agree with the categories in
the statement of program by activities.
SCHEDULE OF OBJECT CLASSIFICATION
There is shown for each account a summary of personal
services and a classification of obligations, costs, or accrued
expenditures according to a uniform list of objects.
The object classes, 01 to 16, reflect the nature of the
things or services purchased, regardless of the purpose or
the nature of the program for which they are used.
Permanent positions are those of a full-time nature
which are of indefinite duration. Some are filled by
persons with temporary appointments. The "number of
employees at end of year" represents the number of (a)
full-time and regularly scheduled part-time employees in

is the basis for reports of the Civil Service Commission.

STATEMENT OF SOURCES AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS
For all revolving funds, there is shown a presentation
of funds applied and provided, other than the investment
of Government capital in the fund, net borrowings, and
the repayment of capital and dividends.
The statement generally reflects receipts and expenditures on an accrual basis; an adjustment is made for
changes in selected working capital (current assets, other
than cash and inventories for sale or manufacture, less
current liabilities) in either section of the statement as
appropriate. Because of such an adjustment, the gross
expenditures shown on the statement, less the receipts
from operations, equal budget expenditures on a checksissued basis, as in the following example:

Because the statement is built on the basis of transactions which affect working capital, it excludes depreciation,
losses on loans, and other "nonfund" transactions.
STATEMENT OF REVENUE, EXPENSE, AND RETAINED
EARNINGS
For revolving funds there is also presented a statement
of revenue and expense, computed on an accrual basis,
and the resulting net income or loss for the year. This

The statement includes an analysis of the retained earnings or the cumulative deficit. This analysis shows any
additions to earnings, other than net income for the year,
any charges made against retained earnings, and the balance of profits kept in the enterprise as of the end of the
year (whether in the form of cash, inventories, other
current assets, or fixed assets).
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
Average grades and salaries are computed arithmetically. Thus the average salary sometimes falls outside
the salary range of the average grade.
1959 actual
statement is usually on a full accrual basis, including
sums for depreciation, provisions for losses on receivables,
etc. Where a fund consists of several programs, revenue
and expense may be identified for each; otherwise they
are shown only for the fund as a whole, as here illustrated:
CONDITION
For each revolving fund there is presented a balance
sheet of assets, liabilities, and investment of the Government at the close of the year, as in this example:
Financial Condition
Assets:
Cash with Treasury
Accounts receivable, net
Supplies
Equipment, net

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

The Library of Congress, established in 1800, is not
only the library of the Congress itself, but is also the principal general library of the Government of the United
States. Its collections are comprehensive and varied, and
include outstanding collections of books, periodicals, newspapers, documents of the national governments of the
world, literature in the oriental languages, etc., and manuscripts, maps, music, motion picture films, sound recordings, prints, and photographs. In addition to maintenance of the collections and the rendering of the general
and basic services connected therewith, including the
Legislative Reference Service, certain specialized functions
are performed; registration of copyrights, catalog card
distribution, and the service of books in raised characters
and talking books to the blind. In terms of these broad
fields of activity comparative obligations (including only
those chargeable to annual appropriations) for 1959 and
estimated 1960 and 1961 are:

1. Acquisition oj library materials.—The development
of the Library's collections is planned; materials are procured by purchase, gift, exchange, copyright deposit, transfer and official deposit; and materials are selected for addition to the permanent collections. The objective for 1961
is: continued improvement in acquisitions procedures and
in exchange relations with institutions in the more important areas of the world. The collections totaled 38,123,182
items as of June 30,1959, and consisted of 11,779,894 books
and pamphlets, 16,185,209 manuscript pieces, and 10,158,079 maps, pieces of music, reels of microfilm, photographs, and other miscellaneous items. Of the items received, about 1 million are added to the permanent collections annually. Those received from various sources in

2. Organization of the collections.—Library materials are
cataloged, classified, marked and arranged; Library of
Congress catalogs and the main National Union Catalog
(card catalog) are maintained; special collections are
organized for use; and binding operations are controlled.
The objectives for this activity in 1961 are the cataloging
of a larger number of the materials received during the
year particularly those in oriental languages; handling
receipts of special materials and organizing them for use
on a current basis; and improved cataloging methods and
procedures to assure the usefulness of the collections.
Selected performance data for 1959 and estimated for
1960 and 1961 (not including processing activities performed by the Reference Department and the Law
Library) are as follows:

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

Objectives for 1961 include the procurement of more
titles of books, of more copies of the popular titles, of a
sufficient number of machines to equip newly registered
blind readers and to replace scrapped machines, and continuation of the quality inspection program on machines
and of research in sound reproduction.
2. Cataloging, reference, circulation, and training services.—Catalogs of talking and braille books are prepared
and maintained, including a Union Catalog of Hand
Copied Books in Braille which brings together a record of
holdings of all libraries. The division also maintains a
unique collection (about 26,000 volumes) of books in
braille not available elsewhere for loan in the United
States. During the period 1946 to 1958 the number of
readers throughout the country requiring catalogs from
which to select reading matter has grown from 30,088 to
58,931 and circulation from 801,797 units (volumes or
containers) to 1,650,767. The number of readers and
circulation are expected to continue to increase in 1960
and 1961. Inquiries are received concerning library and
related services available to the blind. Individuals
throughout the Nation who are interested in transcribing
or proofreading braille are trained and those qualified are '
certified. During 1959,. 573 individuals were certified as
compared to 477 in 1958, and it is anticipated that this
increase will continue during 1960 and 1961.

Under this appropriation, the papers of the Presidents
of the United States in the collections of the Library of
Congress are arranged, indexed, and microfilmed. The
purpose is to preserve their contents and to make them
more readily available for research. The program was
started in 1959 with an appropriation of $106,800 out of
the total authorization of $720,000. Completion of the
entire program is contemplated in another 5 years. The
objectives for the third year will be to provide negative
and positive service copy on microfilm of material arranged
and indexed, and to commence publishing indexes by
photo-offset in editions of 1,000 copies each.

For 1959, the amount of $60,000 was appropriated to
enable the Librarian of Congress to provide for the conversion to safety base film of the George Kleine collection
of nitrate film, and the paper prints of early American

1960, an additional 120,400 feet of paper prints will be
converted, as well as the remainder of the Kleine collection.
The $60,000 requested for 1961 will allow for the conversion of an additional 135,700 feet of paper prints.

PROVISIONS
Appropriations in this Act available to the Library of Congress
for salaries shall be available for expenses of investigating the loyalty
of Library employees; special and temporary services (including
employees engaged by the day or hour or in piecework); and services
as authorized by section 15 of the Act of August 2, 1946 (5 U.S.C.
55a).
Not to exceed ten positions in the Library of Congress may be
exempt from the provisions of appropriation Acts concerning the
employment of aliens during the current fiscal year, but the Librarian shall not make any appointment to any such position until he
has ascertained that he cannot secure for such appointments a person in any of the categories specified in such provisions who possesses
the special qualifications for the particular position and also otherwise meets the general requirements for employment in the Librarjr
of Congress. (Legislative Branch Appropriation Act, 1960.)
Section 104(n) of the Agricultural Trade Development
and Assistance Act of 1954 (established by Public Law
85-931, approved Sept. 6, 1958) authorizes the Librarian
of Congress to use foreign currencies accruing under this
act to provide information of technical, scientific, cultural,
or educational significance to the United States through
the collection of foreign library materials and the distribution of copies thereof to libraries and research centers in
the United States. In 1961 this program will be initiated
in eight countries: China (Taiwan), Egypt, India, Israel,
Pakistan, Poland, Spain, and Yugoslavia. Of the total

more than doubled. The current public interest in the

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

Object Classification
The Court of Claims has jurisdiction of all cases involving claims against the United States (except in pension
suits) instituted upon constitutional grounds or under
Federal law or regulations, all claims arising out of any
contract with the Federal Government and its agencies,
and claims for the refund of taxes. It also has general
jurisdiction to hear and determine claims for damages
other than tort actions, provided the claimants would
have the right to sue in law or equity if the United States
were not immune to such suits. It has jurisdiction in
suits against the United States by contractors dissatisfied
with the findings and decisions of contracting agencies
under terminated war contracts, and jurisdiction concurrent with that of the Courts of Appeals to review
district court decisions in cases involving tort actions. It
has exclusive jurisdiction to review the decisions of the
Indian Claims Commission on appeal from the Commission. It also has jurisdiction in special act cases referred
to the court by either or both Houses of Congress.
The court continues to carry a heavy load of cases and
has been able to dispose of the cases which are ready to be
heard as expeditiously as the Department of Justice can
process them.

The statutory salaries and related costs of all active
U.S. circuit and district judges, and all justices and judges
who have retired or resigned in pursuance of law are payable from this appropriation. This item also includes the
payment of annuities to surviving widows of Supreme
Court justices. It is anticipated that the average number of judges on the rolls will continue to increase due
primarily to the growing numbers of senior judges. Also
the number of judgeship vacancies carried throughout
1959 has been reduced sharply because of recent confirmations of new appointees. A supplemental appropriation
for 1960 is anticipated under Proposed for later transmission.

The primary and appellate jurisdiction of the courts of
the United States are vested in the 94 district courts and
11 courts of appeals. Provision for the salaries of the administrative and legal aides required to assist the judges
in the conduct of hearings, trials, and other judicial functions and to man the component offices of the courts including the Federal Probation System is made under this
heading. The estimate for 1961 includes increases which
will permit the addition of deputy clerks for the purposes
of improving the processing of juries and expediting the
calendaring of cases. Funds also are included for additional probation officers in an effort to further reduce the
caseload per officer. Because of the amendment to section
752 of title 28, U.S. Code, by Public Law 86-221, approved
September 1, 1959, providing that district judges may appoint necessary law clerks and secretaries subject to the
limitation on their aggregate salaries stated in the language
of this appropriation, the estimate for salaries of law clerks
and secretaries to judges is prepared on the basis of an
allotment per judge, within which judges may appoint such
employees.
A supplemental appropriation for 1960 is anticipated
under Proposed for later transmission.

This appropriation provides for the statutory fees and
allowances of jurors, fees of jury commissioners, and fees
and related costs of U.S. commissioners, who serve primarily as committing magistrates.
The amount of service and the compensation of jurors
depends largely on the number of jury trials requested by
the parties to civil and criminal cases in the U.S. courts
and to the administration of the jury system and the
utilization of jurors. The earnings of commissioners are
directly related to the volume of cases presented by Federal
law-enforcement officials.

It is anticipated that there will be an increasing number
of judges and staffs traveling to hold court at those places
where the dockets are most congested. Also, there will
be conducted additional seminars of judges concerning
the improvement in judicial administration, uniformity in
sentencing procedures, and other judicial matters. The
estimate for 1961 includes funds for the purpose of introducing, with the approval of the courts, electronic recording of court proceedings and transcription therefrom. A

for providing for the administration of the U.S. courts.
The principal functions consist of providing administrative staff and services for the courts; conducting a continuous study of rules of practice and procedure in the
Federal courts and compiling data for committees of the
Judicial Conference; examining the state of the dockets of
the various courts and securing information as to the
courts' need of assistance; compiling and publishing statistical information concerning the business transacted by the
courts, administering the probation and bankruptcy systems as well as the judicial survivors annuity system under
title 28, U.S. Code, section 376; and conducting the
general business affairs of the courts.
The office in 1961 will continue its efforts to assist the
courts with the enormous task of coping with the backlog
of civil cases which has developed in many areas. Further
studies of administrative procedures will be conducted
and reports of findings and recommendations for improvement will be made to the Judicial Conference.

Public Law 86-110, approved July 28, 1959, consolidates, effective July 1, 1960, the Referees7 salary fund and
the Referees' expense fund into one fund to be known as
the Referees' salary and expense fund. The appropriation
also has been consolidated for 1961 to be consistent with
the provisions of Public Law 86-110.
The district courts of the United States are constituted
courts of bankruptcy, vested with original jurisdiction at
law and in equity in proceedings brought under the bankruptcy statutes. This jurisdiction primarily is exercised
through referees appointed by the several district courts.
The salaries of referees, their clerical employees, and all
miscellaneous expenses are paid from special funds created
by payments of fees and charges by parties to the proceedings. The system is self-sustaining, and no appropriation from the general fund of the Treasury is required.
Increases in the number of referees, their clerical employees and expenses are requested for 1961 to cope with
rising caseloads forecast for the current and ensuing years.
Supplemental appropriations for Salaries of referees and
Expenses of referees for 1960 are anticipated under Proposed for later transmission.

a number of judgeship appointments and a steady increase in the number of senior judges indicates that present funds are inadequate and it is estimated that an additional sum of $100,000 will be required to pay salaries.

THE JUDICIARY
Under existing legislation, 1960.—The amendment to sec-
tion 752 of title 28, U.S. Code, by Public Law 86-221, approved September 1, 1959, provides that district judges
may appoint necessary law clerks and secretaries subject
to the limitation on their aggregate salaries stated in the
language of this appropriation. The estimate for salaries
of law clerks and secretaries to judges for 1961 was prepared on the basis of an allotment per judge, within which
judges may appoint such employees and includes a request
for an additional sum of $961,400 for their salaries and
related costs. It is anticipated that approximately
$320,000 will be required in 1960 to provide judges with
additional law clerks and secretaries for the last 4 months
of the year.

E X E C U T I V E
O F F I C E
New obligational authority of $87 million is recommended for the Executive Office of the President for
1961. Of this amount, 87% is for the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization, which coordinates all mobilization
and civil defense functions of the executive branch and
carries out nonmilitary defense programs in cooperation
with States and localities. About 6% is for the Bureau of
the Budget, which is the staff arm of the President in
preparing and reviewing the Federal budget and in
working on Government-wide problems such as organization, accounting, statistics, and legislative coordination.
The remainder is for compensation of the President, staff
assistance and special projects in the White House offices,
and for other smaller agencies in the executive office.
The new obligational authority requested for 1961 is
O F
T H E
P R E S I D E N T
$21 million more than estimated for 1960. The increase
is almost entirely for the Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization, largely to finance the first full-year cost
of a new program, authorized in 1958, for Federal sharing
in the cost of State and local civil defense personnel and
administration. The 1960 recommended new obligational authority includes a request for a supplemental
appropriation to start this program in the latter part of
1960. ^
Civil defense activities also account for almost all of
the increase in estimated expenditures of the executive
offices from $67 million in 1960 to $79 million in 1961.
New obligational authority and expenditures for the
Executive Office of the President are shown in the following

programs are made available to States and localities
through the eight regional offices; courses in civil defense
subjects including instructor training are given at four
training installations; and specialized activities in connection with attack warning, damage assessment, and emergency operations are conducted at various headquarters

1-9. Equipment and facilities.—The Federal contributions program was limited to matching funds for facilities
and equipment only through 1959. All States have
participated in this program and a total of $91 million
has been contributed by the Federal Government, of
which about 50% has been used for warning and communications equipment and 16% for medical supplies and
equipment.
10. Personnel and administrative costs.—This new program for matching the personnel and administrative
expenses of State and local civil defense organizations
results from legislation enacted by the 85th Congress
making civil defense the joint responsibility of the States
and Federal Government. This new requirement accounts for more than half of the 1961 appropriation request
and also accounts for a supplemental appropriation for
the last quarter of 1960, which is anticipated under Proposed for later transmission.
11. Relation of costs to obligations.—The relationship is
derived from year-end balances of selected resources and

2. Contract research.—This activity finances the development and application of scientific knowledge to the
strategic requirements of the nonmilitary defense of the
Nation through research contracts with Federal agencies,
universities, industry and private institutions. The 1961
program will emphasize research in the social sciences and
will cover such subjects as control and allocation of
consumer requirements, alternatives to survival stockpiling, and human behavior in stress situations.

This fund finances the procurement of civil defense materials toward which contributions to the States are authorized on a matching fund basis. The fund is reimbursed for purchases from the Federal contributions appropriation and from funds provided by the States (65
Stat. 61). Increased procurement of radiological instruments for the State and local governments is anticipated
during 1960 and 1961, thus accounting for the increased
obligations projected for these years.
Relation of costs to obligations.—The relationship is
derived by year-end balances of selected resources and applicable adjustment as reflected in the following table:

Funds for several Government programs are appropriated directly to the President, who may designate
officials or agencies to act for him in carrying out the
activities involved.
The most notable example is the mutual security program, under which the United States helps strengthen
free world defenses and promotes stability and economic
growth in less-developed countries. This program, consisting of military and economic assistance, is conducted
under the Mutual Security Act of 1954, as amended.
Responsibility for its execution has been delegated by the
President to the Secretaries of State and Defense. The
Secretary of State has been delegated responsibility for
coordination. Funds for military assistance appear in
this document in the chapter on Department of Defense—
Military and are therefore not included in the amounts
discussed here.
Also financed through funds appropriated to the President are activities authorized by the Defense Production
Act to encourage the expansion of productive capacity
for materials needed for defense, mainly by means of
loans, purchase contracts, and commitments to purchase
output not sold by the producer on the open market.
These activities are carried out by a number of agencies
designated by the President and are financed by borrowings from the Treasury up to a limit of $2.1 billion outstanding at any one time.

T H E
P R E S I D E N T
Other smaller programs included in this chapter of the
budget are the President's special international program
for trade fairs and cultural exchanges, disaster relief
assistance to State and local governments, the President's
national defense emergency fund, expenses of management improvement, transitional grants to Alaska, and a
special program for using foreign currencies for translation
of publications and scientific cooperation.
The economic assistance portion of the mutual security
program accounts for $2,175 million out of the $2,191
million recommended new obligational authority for 1961
for programs included in the Funds Appropriated to the
President chapter. Increased appropriations requested
for economic assistance for 1961 are the primary reason
for the estimated $247 million increase in the total of new
obligational authority as compared with 1960. No new
commitments are anticipated for defense production
expansion for 1960 or 1961.
Expenditures are estimated at $1,814 million in 1961.
Of this amount, $1,700 million or 94% is for economic
assistance. Expenditures for expansion of defense production, arising under commitments made in prior years,
are expected to amount to $89 million or 5% of the total
for 1961.
New obligational authority and expenditures by function are shown below:

Total, Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization
This program provides for a coordinated effort by the
Federal Government to assist States and their political
subdivisions affected by major disaster when they are
unable to cope with the situation physically or financially.
Responsibility for administration of this program is
delegated to the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
Disaster relief operations of the entire Federal Government are coordinated and funds are made available to
affected areas and to reimburse Federal agencies for disaster operations.
State and local civil defense organizations are active in
disaster operations and receive valuable operational training as a result. Unused prior year appropriations of $16.5
million carried into the current year should be adequate
to meet needs in both 1960 and 1961.
Major disasters proclaimed by the President and allocation of funds made to States in 1959 are:

NOTE.—Accrued interest to Treasury for General Services Administration, Department of Agriculture, and Department of the Interior totaling $64,820,577 in 1960 and
$76,492,966 in 1961 is excluded from operating costs. Legislation is being proposed to eliminate the requirement for payment of interest to Treasury for activities carried on by
these agencies.
Under section 304(b) of the Defense Production Act of
1950, as amended, designated agencies are authorized with
Presidential approval to incur obligations and make
expenditures to secure expanded production of critical
materials in furtherance of the defense effort. The program is conducted primarily through a revolving fund,
with financing by borrowings from the Treasury. The
amount borrowed must not exceed $2.1 billion outstanding
at any one time, but the act permits contingent liabilities
to be considered as obligations only to the extent of the
probable ultimate net costs to the United States, rather
than in the full amount of the gross commitments outstanding. To the extent that money must be expended
to fulfill commitments, even though the expenditures are
considered to be ultimately recoverable (through repayments of loans and sale of inventories, for example), portions of the borrowing authority are used for working
FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT
capital on a current basis. Due to the imminent exhaustion of this borrowing authority, a direct appropriation of
$108 million was enacted for 1959, thus providing cumulative financing authority of $2,208 million.
Programs must be certified as essential to the national
defense by the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
The gross transactions (gross commitments) and financing
authorized as of September 30, 1959, are as follows:

completed. The plants are in production and the contracts are now in the administration phase with the major
problems being receipt, custody, and eventual disposition
of the materials and facilities. Future deliveries of materials under the contracts are expected to be substantial
but will depend upon economic and business conditions.
The exercise of option rights by contractors has been
carefully examined with a view to reducing deliveries to
the Government as far as possible within the terms of the
contracts whenever basic stockpiling objectives have been
attained. Between July 1, 1957, and November 30, 1959,
a reduction of $339,748,000 in gross commitments had
been attained through renegotiation of contracts.

During 1959, the Corporation continued the management of inventories of castor beans and the remaining
American-Egyptian cotton acquired under programs initiated in prior years. Nearly all of the AmericanEgyptian cotton inventories had been disposed of by
June 30, 1959. The remainder of the cotton and castor
beans will be sold during 1960. Net realized loss on purchase and resale operations amounted to $12,876 during
1959 and is estimated at $411,122 during I960, completing
the programs.
Export-Import Bank of Washington.—Pursuant
to sec-
tion 311 of Executive Order No. 10480 of August 15,
1953, which superseded order No. 10161, the ExportImport Bank, with funds provided under section 304 of
the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, is responsible for making and administering all loans under
section 302 of the act, upon receipt of certificates of essentiality issued by the Director of Defense Mobilization or
the General Services Administrator, where the expansion,
development, or production so financed is carried on in
foreign countries.
No certifications were received and no new loans were
authorized by the Bank during 1959. It is contemplated
that there will be no additional certifications to the
Export-Import Bank in connection with these operations.
No additional obligational authority will be required. It
is estimated that net budget receipts for 1961 will be
$4,983,000.
During 1959 borrowing authority allocated to ExportImport Bank under the Defense Production Act of 1950
was reduced from $35 million to $25.5 million. As of
June 30, 1959, the outstanding balance of notes due the
Treasury was $24,767,162.
Treasury Department.—The function of making and
administering loans to private business enterprises under
the authority of section 302 of the Defense Production
Act of 1950, as amended, was assigned to the Secretary of
the Treasury by Executive Order No. 10489, dated September 26, 1953. Applications for loans are considered
only upon certification of essentiality by Office of Civil
and Defense Mobilization.
During 1959 a certificate of essentiality was issued for an
additional loan to one of the present borrowers. This
loan was disbursed by a bank in the amount of $850,000
with the Government executing a deferred participation
agreement with the bank covering 90% of the loan. No
disbursement of Treasury funds is expected on account of
such $765,000 commitment. It is contemplated that
there will be no additional certifications to Treasury in
1960 and 1961.
Loans outstanding on June 30, 1959, totaled $169,418,212, and there were $15,818,618 in commitments to participate in loans made by banks wherein disbursement of
Treasury funds is deferred. By the close of 1961 it is
estimated that the loans will be reduced to $150,025,000
and the deferred participation commitments to $13,120,000.
Department of the Interior.—Operations within the
Department of the Interior with regard to the expansion of
defense production have been limited to the encouragement
of exploration for strategic and critical minerals and
metals. As of June 30, 1959, the Office of Civil and
Defense Mobilization had certified to the Defense Minerals
Exploration Administration borrowing authority in the
amount of $35,800,000. From the beginning of the program through June 30, 1958, the terminal date for executing new contracts, Defense Minerals Exploration Administration had entered into 1,159 contracts. On
June 30, 1959, the Government's share of estimated costs
was $34,823,125 and the total estimated contract costs
were $56,802,182.
On June 30, 1959, Defense Minerals Exploration Administration had certified discoveries on 374 projects
involving total estimated contract amounts of $25,443,931.
The Government's share on these contracts was
$16,023,763, of which $12,969,781 had been spent. If
production takes place on these projects within a 10-year
period, some part, at least, of the Government funds
advanced will be repaid according to a royalty arrangement. Koyalties on production to date from Defense
Minerals Exploration Administration projects total
$3,127,070.
Under Public Law 85-701, enacted August 21, 1958, the
Office of Minerals Exploration in the Department of the
Interior is continuing a program of financial assistance
for minerals exploration using appropriated funds. Administrative expenses in connection with contracts entered into under the Defense Production Act are paid from
these funds.

political and economic stability, to assist in meeting the
costs of relatively large military forces maintained by
some of the less-developed countries as part of the common defense, and to help improve economic conditions in
the less-developed areas of the world. Mutual security
economic programs consist of defense support, technical
cooperation, special assistance, Development Loan Fund,
investment guarantee program, a contingency appropriation, and a number of other programs, such as contributions to certain special activities of the United Nations

(a) Europe and Africa.—Spain, where the United States
has bases of strategic importance, is the only country in
this region which receives defense support aid.
(b) Near East and South Asia.—Greece, Turkey, Iran,
and Pakistan are the countries in this area which receive
defense support. All of them are members of regional
defense pacts which are part of the common defense.
(c) Far East.—The major portion of defense support
is allocated to the Far East countries of Korea, Taiwan,
Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, and Thailand.
2. Technical cooperation.—This is a program for the international exchange of technical knowledge and skills
through training, demonstration programs and surveys designed to introduce innovations and to increase the skills
of peoples in less developed countries to enable them to
achieve an improved standard of living. Programs in
health, education, agriculture, industry, and other fields
are designed to lead to an early impact as well as to bring
about long-term material benefits. The major share of
the U.S. contribution to the widespread effort to improve
knowledge and skills in the underdeveloped countries is
provided through bilateral programs; the United States
also contributes to two international organizations operating in the field of technical assistance.
(a) General.—The bilateral program is being increased
in accordance with our ability to recruit American technicians to carry out the program overseas and with the
increasing ability of the cooperating countries to make
good use of their services. Currently there are 3,300
U.S. direct hire technicians overseas, plus 2,000 U.S.
nationals employed by contractors receiving program
funds.
(b) United Nations.—The United Nations expanded
program of technical assistance is aiding over 90 countries
and territories through the provision of experts and the
financing of fellowships for training abroad. The special

This is a special fund, rather than a separate category of
aid, which is used to meet requirements for which no
specific provision can be made in the regular categories of
assistance because requirements are uncertain or unknown
at the time the budget is prepared. These funds can be
used for both economic and military assistance. While in
earlier years, they were used to meet unforeseen economic
requirements, recently a portion has been required to meet
military assistance needs.

A part of the mutual security dollar appropriations is to
be used to purchase agricultural surplus commodities
which are then to be sold to friendly countries for their
currencies. Local currencies accruing from these sales are
deposited in a special account and are used for economic
and military activities in furtherance of mutual security
objectives. These activities include the local costs of
projects, budget support of the lesser developed countries,
and procurement of supplies and materials for third
countries.

The Development Loan Fund finances loans, credits, or
guarantees to governments or to private or other entities
in underdeveloped countries in order to encourage the
economic development of friendly nations. The Fund is
a source of financing for economic development which
does not compete with either private investment capital
or the activities of the Export-Import Bank of Washington
and the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development.
Budget program.—As of June 30, 1959, the Fund has
signed 68 loans and 1 guarantee agreement for development assistance in 33 countries. These loans cover

power, irrigation, transportation, industry, and other
projects contributing to economic development. About
three-fourths of the projects have been in the categories
of roads and railroads, electric power generation, manufacturing industry, and industrial development banks.
Because the usual rate of completion of major developmental projects extends over a period of years, only initial
expenditures for these projects have been made in 1959,
the first full year of the Fund's operation. However,
sizable increases are estimated in 1960 and 1961 as these
projects develop and new ones are added. It is estimated
that about 80 loan agreements will be signed in 1960 and

Financing.—The program is financed from appropriations. Appropriations totaling $1.4 billion have been
provided through 1960. In addition, financing is provided by receipts from operations.
Repayment of loan principal and payment of interest
may be made either in local currency or in dollars or
other currencies as specified in the loan agreement and
these amounts will be available to the Fund for further
lending activity. As these amounts are directly related
to loans outstanding, they will not reach appreciable
proportions until 1961. Other available revenue is anticipated from fees received for issuance of loan guarantees.
Operating results.—Revenue o f the Fund from interest
and fees will be both in dollars and local currencies.
Such revenue in 1959 included $225,411 in dollars and
$590,106 in dollar equivalents of local currencies. In
1960 and 1961 such revenue is expected to increase substantially, to about $1,700,000 in dollars and $5,300,000
in local currencies for 1960, and to about $7,100,000 and
$13,700,000, respectively, for 1961. Such earnings will be
retained for future relending. Local currency receipts
will also be made available for sale by the U.S. Treasury
and the dollar proceeds will become available to the Development Loan Fund.

or part of the investment; and (c) war damage. Guarantee authority was increased by Congress during the current
year from $500 million to $1 billion. The guarantees,
which have a maximum term of 20 years, are now available
in any economically underdeveloped country whose
government has agreed with the U.S. Government to
institute the program. A total of 43 countries and their
overseas dependent territories have participated through
December 1959. However, as a result of an amendment
in the 1959 legislation approximately 8 of these countries
which are now regarded as economically developed were
eliminated from the program. Negotiations for agreements with other countries are continuing.
Budget program.—Obligations of the program after
June 30, 1956, are based on a fractional reserve, which is
25% of total guarantees issued since that date. Guarantees issued prior to June 30, 1956, were issued with 100%
backing. Guarantees to be issued during 1961 are estimated at $175 million. Under the fractional reserve
basis, this would require obligations of $44 million in
1961 to support the guarantees issued in that year.
Financing.—The reserve funds for the program against
which obligations are made come from the following three
sources, and these sources would be used for payment of
claims in the order given:
(а) Revenue from a fee of approximately 0.5% charged
the investor for guarantee protection provided.
(б) Money recovered from the sale of assets or local
currency acquired by the U.S. Government as a result
of a loss due to payment of a claim.
(c) Borrowing authority given the program by the
Congress.
Operating results and administration.—The fund has
sustained no loss and no claims are pending. Fees collected through June 30, 1959, are $4 million and are carried
forward as retained earnings as a reserve against possible
future loss. The fund bears no expense. Administrative
expenses are paid from funds appropriated for general
administrative expenses of the economic assistance programs and allocated to the International Cooperation
Administration.

The purpose of this fund is to strengthen the ties which
unite us with other nations by demonstrating the cultural
interests, developments, and achievements of the people
of the United States, and the contributions being made
by the U.S. economic and social system toward a peaceful
and more fruitful life for its own people and other people
throughout the world.
The Director of the United States Information Agency
serves as coordinator of the following activities. The
Agency also publicizes the projects abroad and absorbs
the cost of such publicity and coordination.
1. Trade fairs and exhibitions.—The Department of
Commerce administers this program, which provides
United States exhibits, trade missions, and labor missions
(conducted by the Department of Labor) at important
international trade fairs and other strategic locations overseas. Authorizations for 1959 provided for 14 trade fair
and solo exhibits, 12 trade missions, and 3 labor missions.
This compares with 15 exhibits, 12 trade missions, and 3
labor missions in i960, and 18 exhibits, 13 trade missions,
and 6 labor missions in 1961.
2. Artistic and athletic presentations.—The Department
of State administers this program, which supports outstanding American cultural attractions appearing abroad.
This support is necessary primarily because of high
international transportation costs and itineraries to
places where commercial revenues are inadequate to cover
operating expenses. Approved projects, with itineraries

the State of responsibilities hitherto performed in Alaska

These funds are to enable the President (a) to make
grants to the State to assist in financing functions transferred from the Federal Government, and (b) to finance
continued Federal operations for an interim period when
the State requests a delay in transfer of functions. In
June 1959, the State requested that the Federal Government continue operation of 17 primary and intermediate
airports, and allocations were made to the Federal Aviation Agency for this purpose.
The $6 million requested for 1961 is the maximum authorized by law.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1961
MISCELLANEOUS—Continued
INFORMATIONAL
FOREIGN
CURRENCY
SCHEDULE—Continued
Title I of the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954 authorizes the sale of surplus
agricultural commodities to friendly nations for their
currencies, with reasonable precautions neither to displace
U.S. sales for dollars nor to disrupt unduly world commodity prices. Such sales may include up to $1.5 billion
of commodities a year, plus unused prior authority. The
Commodity Credit Corporation finances the costs. The
foreign currencies generated by these sales may be used
(a) to help develop new markets for U.S. agricultural commodities, (6) to purchase strategic and critical materials,
(c) to procure military materiel and services for the common defense, (d) to purchase goods and services for other
friendly nations, (e) to promote balanced economic development and trade among nations including loans to American and foreign business firms abroad, (J) to pay U.S.
obligations abroad, (g) to make loans to promote multilateral trade and economic development abroad, (h) to
finance international education exchange activities, (i) to
translate and publish books and other publications abroad,
(j) to aid American-sponsored schools, libraries, and binational centers overseas, (,k) to finance the translation
of scientific and technical publications and support scientific activities overseas, (I) to acquire buildings and grounds
abroad, (m) to finance participation in trade fairs and
related activities, (n) to acquire books from abroad, (o)
to aid American educational institutions abroad, (p) to
support workshops and chairs in American studies, (q) to
provide emergency relief, and (r) to finance audiovisual
materials and programs.
Most of the currencies:; fare used for grants to and loans
in the foreign country without charge to appropriations.
Some are sold to appropriations, and the proceeds of such
sales go to the Commodity Credit Corporation. Beginning
in 1961, recommendations in this document provide
appropriations to purchase all currencies used for U.S.
programs. A lump-sum appropriation is recommended to
reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation for its losses
which are not made up through such sales.
As of June 30, 1960, it is estimated agreements will have
been signed calling for deposits of sales proceeds totaling
$4.7 billion. This will represent the market value of
commodities and ocean transportation in which the Commodity Credit Corporation investment will be approximately $6.4 billion.
Schedules covering special currency uses are included in
the budgets for the Library of Congress, mutual security
program, Export-Import Bank, United States Information
Agency, and the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce,
Defense, Health, Education, and Welfare, and State.
These schedules do not cover use of currencies for sale to
regular appropriations.
I N D E P E N D E N T
The total recommended new obligational authority for
the independent offices for 1961 is $10,400 million. Over
three-quarters of this total is for two agencies: $5,465
million (or 52%) for the Veterans Administration and
$2,666 million (or 26%) for the Atomic Energy Commission. Two other agencies—the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration and the Federal Aviation Agency—
account for another 15% of the total. The remainder is
scattered among the 42 other independent agencies and 9
historical and memorial commissions.
The 1961 total of new obligational authority is $366
million less than the estimate for 1960. The major factor
in this decline is a decrease of $744 million for the Tennessee Valley Authority, reflecting the nonrecurring revenue
bond authority of $750 million enacted in 1960. Other
decreases, mainly for the Atomic Energy Commission and
O F F I C E S
the Small Business Administration, are more than offset
by increases recommended for the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, the Federal Aviation Agency,
the Veterans Administration, and the Civil Service Commission.
Expenditures of the independent offices in 1961 are
estimated at $10,181 million, of which 53% is accounted
for by the Veterans Administration, 26% by the Atomic
Energy Commission, 7% by the Federal Aviation Agency,
and 6% by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Most of the increase of $688 million over the
1960 estimate is for these agencies, mainly NASA and
FAA.
New obligational authority and expenditures for the
independent offices are shown in the following table:

This is the 12th year of a $36-million program of construction of 14 cemeteries and memorials in foreign countries to commemorate the services of the American Armed
Forces in World War II. Nearly all the facilities will be
built by the end of 1960. In the summer of 1960, eight
cemeteries and memorials will be dedicated; the other six
cemeteries were dedicated in 1956.
The 1961 construction program will finance the completion of memorials in the Hawaii National Cemetery and in
New York City. The Hawaii memorial commemorates
American dead of the Pacific theater of World War II
and the Korean conflict whose remains were not recovered
or identified. The east coast memorial in New York City
will honor the World War II servicemen who lost their
lives in the western Atlantic.

The Commission procures raw materials; manufactures special nuclear materials and atomic weapons;
develops improved weapons; conducts research and
development aimed at generation of atomic power and
protection of health against possible hazards arising from
atomic energy operations; conducts investigations in the
physical and life sciences related to atomic energy, including investigation of controlled thermonuclear reactions;
establishes and enforces regulations for civilian uses of
atomic energy; promotes industrial participation in atomic
energy development for peaceful purposes; encourages
scientific and industrial progress through the dissemination
of atomic energy information; and participates in programs
of international cooperation in peaceful applications of
atomic energy.
The program is administered in the field through 12
major offices. Most of the Commission's activities are
carried on in Government-owned facilities by industrial
concerns and educational institutions operating under
contracts. Coordination with the armed services is
achieved through the Military Liaison Committee of the
Department of Defense.
Total program costs in 1961 are estimated at $2,446.2
million, or $45.6 million less than the estimated 1960 costs
of $2,491.8 million, and $117 million greater than actual
costs of $2,329.2 million for 1959. In 1961, principal increases occur in civilian and military power and propulsion
reactor development, and in research in the physical and
biomedical sciences. These increases are offset by a
major reduction in raw materials procurement.
In 1961, as in 1959 and 1960, total program obligations
exceed program costs, the difference being obligations incurred for costs which will not materialize until future
years. Total program obligations for operating expenses
in 1961 are estimated to be $2,472.9 million compared to
$2,543 million in 1960 and $2,347.5 million in 1959.
1. Raw materials.—Uranium ores and concentrates are
procured for processing in the production facilities of the
Commission. An estimated 31,566 tons of concentrates,
of which more than half will come from domestic sources,
will be obtained in 1961. This is a decrease of 3,768 tons
under the 35,334 tons estimated to be procured in 1960.
Procurement in 1959 was 33,326 tons. Resource evaluation will continue in the development of data on uranium
reserves.
2. Special nuclear materials.—Uranium concentrates are
processed into feed materials from which (a) plutonium is
produced in the reactors at Hanford, Wash., and Savannah
River, S.C., or (b) the isotope uranium 235 is extracted in
plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio. Production of special nuclear materials
will be at rates required to meet weapons production
schedules and non-weapons requirements. Work will continue on process improvement to assure continuity and
safety of operation and more economic methods of production.

7. Training, education, and information.—This activity
The Commission's program for 1961 includes the continuation of work to develop atomic powerplants for use in includes operation of special schools; conduct of specialized
commercial vessels. The nuclear-powered merchant ship, courses; granting of fellowships for graduate students;
the NS Savannah, is scheduled for completion in 1960, assistance to high schools, colleges, and universities; and
and will undergo test operations in 1961. Research and dissemination of technical information, including participation in international conferences and exhibits on nuclear
development work will continue.
Efforts will be continued to develop reactors to meet science and technology.
Two schools will be operated in 1961: The International
requirements of the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. These in- Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering at the

Argonne National Laboratory and the Puerto Rico Training Center. Specialized courses are conducted at the Oak
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. In addition, at the
New York Health and Safety Laboratory, at the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, and at the Shippingport
reactor site, specialized courses including radiochemical
and counting procedures and reactor hazards and supervisory instruction will be offered.
Under the fellowship program in 1961, approximately
150 college graduates, compared to 134 in 1960 and 117
in 1959, will receive assistance for graduate studies in
reactor technology. Other fellowships are offered in the
fields of radiological physics, industrial hygiene, and
industrial medicine.
Assistance to schools to provide for educational programs in atomic energy will be continued. Grants are
made to universities to help them acquire reactor training equipment, teaching aids, demonstration apparatus,
and special laboratory equipment. University summer
courses in general radiobiology are made available to
high school science teachers, and special faculty training
in reactor technology and radiobiology for university
faculty members is provided.
To broaden the dissemination of information on matters
relating to atomic energy, the Commission operates the
technical information service, maintains libraries, performs
translation services, and conducts tours with traveling
atomic energy exhibits. The Commission arranges for
nuclear exhibits at selected foreign conferences and exhibitions in order to demonstrate U.S. technology.
The relationship between costs and revenue included
under Advances and reimbursements from non-Federal
sources (revenue applied) is indicated in the following

10. Program direction and administration.—In addition
to general management, this activity includes the negotiation and administration of contracts, and the establishment and enforcement of regulations for civilian uses of
atomic energy, including the issuance of licenses. The
costs under this activity represent 2.2% of total program
costs in 1961 compared to 2.1% in 1960 and 1959. The
increase ot $2.9 million provides for higher average employment and, for the first time, funds to cover the costs
of the Federal Employee Health Benefits Act of 1959
(Public Law 86-382).
11. Security investigations.—The Atomic Energy Act of
1954 requires background investigations of those persons
proposed for access to restricted data of the atomic energy
program. The number of full background investigations
to be completed in 1961 is estimated at 16,225 compared
with 17,258 for 1960 and 21,139 for 1959.
12. Other costs.—In furthering the objectives of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 concerning the utilization of
atomic energy for peaceful purposes, the Commission furnishes materials and services, apart from those which it

research and development projects with educational,
industrial, and research organizations in developing this
technology. Training in radiation technology is supported through special courses and equipment grants to
universities.
The project Plowshare provides for the investigation
and development of the peaceful uses of nuclear explosives,
including research, development, and experimentation on
specific applications. Applications include those for
civil engineering, oil recovery, power and isotope production, mining, and development of unique scientific data.
9. Communities.—Under the provisions of the Atomic
Energy Community Act of 1955 (Public Law 84-221),
the communities of Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Richland,
Wash., incorporated as cities as of June 1959 and December 1958, respectively. It is anticipated that all facilities
will have been transferred to the newly incorporated cities
or other local entities by the end of 1960, thereby ending
Government ownership and operation of these communities. The 1961 estimates provide for the first full year of
assistance payments to these communities under the provisions of Public Law 84-221.
The Commission will continue to operate the town of
Los Alamos, N. Mex., with an estimated population in
1961 of 14,000 and provide limited community services at
other locations.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
Any appropriation available under this or any other Act to the
Atomic Energy Commission may initially be used subject to limitations in this Act during the fiscal year [ I 9 6 0 ] 1961 to finance the
procurement of materials, services, or other costs which are a part of
work or activities for which funds have been provided in any other
appropriation available to the Commission: Provided, That appropriate transfers or adjustments between such appropriations shall
subsequently be made for such costs on the basis of actual application determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Not to exceed 5 per centum of any appropriation herein may be
transferred to any other such appropriation, but no such appropriation, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be increased by more
than 5 per centum by any such transfers, and any such transfers shall
be reported promptly to the Appropriations Committees of the
House and Senate.
No part of any appropriation herein shall be used to confer a fellowship on any person who advocates or who is a member of an
organization or party that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States by force or violence or with respect to
whom the Commission finds, upon investigation and report by the
Civil Service Commission on the character, associations, and loyalty
of whom, that reasonable grounds exist for belief that such person
is disloyal to the Government of the United States: Provided, That
any person who advocates or who is a member of an organization or
party that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United
States by force or violence and accepts employment or a fellowship
the salary, wages, stipend, grant, or expenses for which are paid
from any appropriation contained herein shall be guilty of a felony
and, upon conviction, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both: Provided further, That
the above penal clause shall be in addition to, and not in substitution
for, any other provisions of existing law.

Guarantees are given on loans made by private sources
to provide construction funds and working capital for
defense production plants. At the beginning of 1959
guaranteed credit amounting to $5.6 million was available
to 3 borrowers; at year end $3.0 million was available to
2 borrowers. Guarantees of 75% to 95% were in force
on these loans. It is estimated that in 1960 and 1961
guarantees will be in force on 2 loans for which the total
amount of guaranteed credit available at the end of each
year will be $1 million and $100,000, respectively.
Net earnings are retained to meet possible future losses
(50 U.S.C. App. 2091 and 2092).

The Board regulates the economic aspects of air carrier
operations, both domestic and international; investigates
aircraft accidents; participates in the development of international air transportation; and participates in the development of safety rules and standards. The increase
proposed for 1961 is for expansion in certain critical program areas, primarily in the routes, commercial rates,
international civil aviation, enforcement, and safety areas.
1. Economic regulation.—This includes granting certificates of public convenience and necessity; prescribing or
approving rates and rate practices of air carriers; fixing
mail rate compensation; prevention of unfair competition;
approval of business relationships between air carriers;
and adjudication of complaints alleging violations of civil
air regulations.
2. Safety activities.—These consist of the investigation
of civil aircraft accidents involving aircraft over 12,500
pounds or causing fatalities; the determination of probable
cause in all civil aircraft accidents; and the investigation
of potential hazards and recommendation of preventive
measures to avoid accidents in the future.
3. Board adjudication, executive, and legal staff activi-
ties.—-In addition to adjudication of cases and top policy
and decision making functions of the Board, legal advice
and assistance is provided on all aspects of economic,
regulatory, and safety activities; opinions of the Board are
prepared; and litigation matters are handled.

The Civil Aeronautics Board fixes rates for transportation of airmail to promote the development of air transportation required for the commerce of the United States,
the postal service, and the national defense. Many of
these rates include an element of subsidy to be paid by the
Board in addition to the rate for service performed which
is paid by the Post Office Department.
At present, subsidy obligations incurred by the Board in
carrying out its ratemaking functions under section 406 of
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 are not subject to prior
budgetary and appropriation control. Congressional appropriations provide only for making subsequent payments
to air carriers and have no effect on the Board's authority
to obligate the Federal Government for subsidies. These
appropriations to liquidate contract authorizations are
available until expended but are requested only in the
amounts required for payments estimated to become due
in the budget year.
The obligations shown above, less the obligated balances
recovered, reflect the amounts recorded each year as due
the air carriers. These sums cover services performed
during the year, computed at rates then in effect, plus or
minus such adjustments as are needed to reflect the
issuance, during the year, of rate orders affecting prior
years. Approximately 1 to 2 months of obligations are
due but unpaid at the end of any year.
For the local service carrier group, the 1961 estimates
reflect an increase resulting from certification of additional
routes, temporary costs associated with the acquisition of
new equipment, and increased operating costs. The estimated 1961 obligations for Alaskan carriers reflect an increase due to retroactive adjustments for prior year
operations.
The following table reflects the estimated amounts becoming due finally for each year, together with the adjustments between years:

All domestic trunklines are in nonsubsidized status. Subsidy need for
local service operations has increased
as a result of certification of additional routes, acquisition of new
equipment, and increasing costs.
Subsidy will continue to support
helicopter operations.
Subsidy will continue to support routes
between continental United States
and Alaska and to remote localities.
Hawaiian and international operations are in nonsubsidized status.

1. Recruiting and examining.—Most appointments in
the competitive civil service are made under the open
competivive merit system through examinations held by
the offices of the Commission and its boards of examiners,
made up of agency personnel operating under the supervision and direction of the Commission. Appointments
through such competitive examinations will accord career
or career-conditional status. The number of such appointments made by boards of examiners will continue to increase in 1960 and 1961, due primarily to expansion of the
board program in the Post Office Department. Physically
handicapped persons are given special placement attention. Veterans are aided in securing the benefits to which
they are entitled.

as defined in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Act
of 1959 (Public Law 86-382, 73 Stat. 713). The annuitants will contribute an estimated $2,750,000.
It is estimated that in 1961 approximately 20,000 annuitants will obtain coverage for themselves only and approximately 50,000 annuitants will obtain family-type
coverage. Annuitants' participation is expected to be at
a greater rate than active employees.
The use of these funds is reflected in the schedules for
the Employees health benefits fund.

The Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Act (5
U.S.C. 2091-2103), provides that the Employees life
insurance fund is available for any expenses incurred by
the Civil Service Commission in the administration of the
act within such limitation as may be specified annually
in appropriation acts. The use of these funds is reflected
in the schedule for Advances and reimbursements.
1. Administration of the basic insurance program.—
Expenses are incurred for functions pertaining to employees and annuitants covered under the basic provisions
of the act.
2. Beneficial association work.—Expenses are incurred
for functions pertaining to maintenance by the fund of
life insurance agreements of employee beneficial associations.
FUND)
This fund finances on a reimbursable basis, full field
security investigations performed at the request of other
departments and agencies of the Government (66 Stat.
107).
Budget program.—Because work on some investigations
will be started in 1 year and completed in another, work-inprocess is recognized as an asset of the fund. Agency
estimates of investigations to be requested in 1960 and
1961 as compared to 1959 experience, are presented below.
In addition, the table relates estimated workload receipts
to estimates of production, average positions, and unit
costs.

The Export-Import Bank of Washington facilitates and
assists in financing U.S. foreign trade. To do this it participates in or guarantees credits extended by U.S. exporters, commercial banks, and other financial institutions
to foreign purchasers of exports from the United States,
and also makes direct loans to finance U.S. exports. In
addition, the Bank insures against risks of war and expropriation certain exports held abroad on consignment awaiting sale. The total amount of dollar loans, guarantees,
and insurance which the Bank may have outstanding at
one time is $7 billion (12 U.S.C. 635).
The Bank's policy is to extend credit only when private
capital is unavailable, and to encourage private participation in the credits extended. Loans generally are made
only for specific purposes or projects. No loan is made

Development project loans.—A major portion of the
Bank's assistance for the exportation of U.S. materials,
equipment, and services is in the form of medium and
longer term credits for development projects abroad.
These loans not only finance export sales, but help lay
the foundation for expanded future trade through strengthening foreign economies.
It is estimated that 48 loans will be authorized by the
Bank during 1961 to finance exports of equipment and
related services for such projects abroad involving power,
agriculture, transportation, and industrial development.

In October 1959, full prepayment was received from

reestablished for the same amount. Including this reinstatement, the estimate of emergency credits for 1960 is

Operating results and financial condition.—During
the
coming year the net income of the Bank is expected to
amount to $90 million. The budget provides for continuation of dividends to the Treasury of $22.5 million
annually through 1961 in lieu of interest on the Treasury
investment in the Bank's capital stock. The remaining
earnings are retained to meet future contingencies. Net
investment of the Government in the corporation is
expected to be $3,624.5 million at the end of 1961, consisting of $1 billion in capital stock, $1,917.8 million of
borrowings from Treasury, and $706.7 million of retained
earnings available for future contingencies.
In 1960, it is estimated that collections and receipts from
loans financed by private capital will exceed disbursements
by $50 million as compared with a net budget expenditure
of $397 million in 1959. It is anticipated that total receipts will equal disbursements in 1961, resulting in no
net budget expenditure.

The Export-Import Bank administers foreign currencyloans to American firms for business development, and to
domestic or foreign firms for facilities aiding in the utilization of U.S. agricultural products abroad. These loans
are made from a share of the proceeds of the sale abroad of
surplus agricultural commodities as authorized by the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of
1954, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1691-1724). This program
was initiated in 1958. A heavy volume of such loans is
anticipated for 1961.

The banks for cooperatives make loans to finance the
operations of farmers' cooperatives. The banks' capital
funds are from the Agricultural Marketing revolving fund
and from borrowing farmers' cooperative associations
(12 U.S.C. 1134). The Farm Credit Act of 1955 provides
for eventual ownership of the banks by farmers' cooperatives and the retirement of the U.S. Government investment.
No new subscriptions of capital stock are anticipated
and stock will be retired by the banks for cooperatives in
accordance with the act. Repayments of $8,459,400 have
been made for 1960, and it is estimated that $7,500,000
will be retired in 1961. As of June 30, 1959, the U.S.

Grants are made to State and local public agencies for
development or improvement of civil airports. Public
Law 86-72 extended this program by providing $63 million
in contract authorizations for each of the years 1960 and
1961. Grants are limited to projects which are deemed
essential for the safety, convenience, or comfort of the
traveling public. The grants generally cover 50% of
project costs. The following tabulation summarizes the
activity under the Federal Airport Act, as amended:

available contract authorizations and that a supplemental
appropriation of $11 million will be required for this purpose in 1960. The latter estimate is shown under Proposed
for later transmission.
administration of the research carried out under this
appropriation is included in the appropriation Expenses.
1. Research and development to improve air safety.—This
provides for improvement in the Nation's airways system
by adapting existing technology to air traffic control and
navigation problems and by long-range research and development to meet future traffic control and navigation
requirements. The 1961 estimate provides for an expanded program, including continued study of the present
airways system and projections of future requirements,
theoretical analysis of proposed facilities, development
and testing of an automatic data processing and display
system, and participation in the development of an aviation weather system program.
2. Experimentation and evaluation.—This covers experimentation, modification, testing, and evaluation of systems, procedures, and components for use in the national
system of aviation facilities. It includes funds for operation and maintenance of experimental test facilities, aircraft, and laboratories at the National Aviation Facilities
Experimental Center, as well as procurement of technical
equipment and construction of support facilities.

The following statements reflect financial results of the
total operations including unfunded depreciation on all
depreciable assets, interest on the Government's investment on a basis comparable to that of other major commercial airports, and total actual revenue together with
amounts representing the value of services furnished other
Government agencies for which no collections are made.
This unrealized revenue includes landing fees for Government aircraft and rental charges for office and hangar
space used by Government agencies.
Operations at Washington National Airport continue
to show improved financial results. In 1961, income is
expected to exceed operating costs by $572,000, as compared with $568,000 in 1960 and $496,521 in 1959. However, a deficit of $962,500 is anticipated for 1961 at Dulles
International Airport reflecting personnel, protection,
equipment, and other costs which will be incurred prior to
full-scale operation of the airport.

This appropriation finances major modernization and
expansion projects at Washington National Airport, the
major air terminal serving the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area. It will also provide for any such projects
required in the future at the new Dulles International
Airport which is now under construction and being
financed by the appropriation, Construction and development, additional Washington airport. The 1961 estimate
provides for the initial phase of an improvement program
at Washington National Airport designed to enable the
airport to accommodate the growing volume of aircraft
operations and passengers safely and efficiently. Major
projects covered in the estimate include improvements
in the terminal building and concourses, expansion of aircraft operating areas, provision of improved vehicle
access and parking facilities, and major improvements to
utility systems. All outlays for physical improvements
are added to the airports' capital investment and will be
recovered through revised fees and charges to airport
users.

The Corporation insures accounts of depositors in
insured banks up to $10,000. As of June 30, 1959, the
deposit insurance fund for the protection of depositors
amounted to $2 billion or 1.48% of all insured deposits
on that date. Total insured deposits at the end of 1958
and 1959, estimated on the basis of information furnished
as of June 23, 1958, and June 10, 1959, amounted to $128.7
billion and $137 billion, respectively. It is estimated that
total insured deposits as of June 30, 1960 and 1961 will
amount to $142.5 billion and $148.2 billion, respectively.
No tax funds are used in its operations. Its expenses are
paid and the fund is accumulated from assessments paid
by insured banks and from income on investments in
obligations of the U.S. Treasury. However, the Corporation is authorized to borrow from the Treasury, not to
exceed $3 billion outstanding at any one time, as required
for insurance purposes. No borrowings under this
authorization have been made to date and none are
anticipated in 1960 or 1961.
CORPORATIONS
The following corporations and agencies, respectively, are hereby
authorized to make such expenditures, within the limits of funds
and borrowing authority available to each such corporation or
agency and in accord with law, and to make such contracts and
commitments without regard to fiscal year limitations as provided
by section 104 of the Government Corporation Control Act, as
amended, as may be necessary in carrying out the programs set
forth in the budget for the fiscal year [ 1 9 6 0 ] 1961 for each such
corporation or agency, except as hereinafter provided: (IndeAct,
1960.)
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BOARD
The Federal Home Loan Bank Board formulates policies
and supervises the operations of the 11 Federal home loan
banks, the system of Federal savings and loan associations,

The expenditure programs of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation are presented as business-type budgets. Section 2 of Public Law 895, approved July 3, 1948, provides
that all expenses of the division of examinations, Federal
Home Loan Bank Board shall be considered nonadministrative. All expenses of the division of examinations are
defrayed from fees charged against and collected from the
institutions examined.
The administrative expenses of the Federal Home Loan

Budget program.—The budget program comprises the
following activities:
1. Administrative
expenses—(a)
Underwriting.—This
activity constitutes an analysis and evaluation of the
insurance risk in connection with applications for insurance of accounts and other applications submitted
pursuant to regulatory requirements. The assets of
insured institutions have increased $13.7 billion or 32.7%
in the last 2 years. The continuing interest in insurance
of accounts on the part of uninsured institutions, plus
the anticipated rate of normal growth, will increase the
insured liability of the Corporation to an estimated $63.7
billion by June 30, 1961, as compared to $48.3 billion on
June 30, 1959.
(ib) Prevention of default and payment of insurance.—In
carrying out its role of protecting savings in insured
savings and loan associations, the Corporation has settled
38 cases since its creation 25 years ago. Total losses to
June 30, 1959, have amounted to $5,224,869, or less than
2% of cumulative gross income. An overall summary of
these activities is reflected in the following table:
-24,801,000
The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
is authorized under title IV of the National Housing Act
(12 U.S.C. 1724 et seq.) to insure savings in all Federal
savings and loan associations and in State-chartered institutions of the savings and loan type which apply and are
approved for insurance. The protection thus afforded,
which insures savers in member associations against financial loss up to a statutory limit of $10,000, may be provided through the prevention of default or the payment
of insurance to savings account holders in the event of
liquidation. The former course of action, which results
in complete protection to each investor regardless of the
amount in his account, is accomplished by making cash
grants or by purchasing all or a part of the association's
assets. Also, the Corporation is authorized to make loans
to institutions in financial difficulty. Wherever possible,
preventive measures are taken to eliminate the necessity
of liquidation. However, in the event liquidation is necessary, the Corporation acts as receiver for all federally
chartered associations and may act as receiver or coreceiver

(c) Analysis of operation.—The Corporation maintains
a current analysis of the financial condition of member
institutions, the flow of savings, and the character and
volume of mortgage lending, including selective review
of geographical or community areas and phases of operations and certain analyses of trends in the field of thrift
and home mortgage finance.
2. Payment to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board for—
(a) Services and facilities.—The Corporation will subscribe
42% of the administrative expenses of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board in 1961 in return for services and
facilities by the Board and staff offices.
(b) Conservatorship, supervisory representative in charge,
and other.—Represents the Corporation's share of expenses
incurred by the Board in 1959 in connection with the
conservatorship of institutions insured by the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation and preparation
for or conduct of proceedings under section 407 of the
National Housing Act, as amended.
4. Charges applicable to prior years.—This provides for
the establishment of the Corporation's liability for accrued
annual leave of employees.

Operating expense for 1961 is estimated at $1.7 million,
consisting primarily of administrative expenses of the
Corporation of $0.8 million and $0.9 million for services
rendered by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
Since the time and size of expenditures for the prevention of default and payment of insurance are unpredictable, estimates of these expenditures are omitted from the
financial statements.
Net income for 1961, which is expected to be increased
by $15.2 million or 37% above the net income for 1959,
will be retained by the Corporation and credited to its
reserve for insurance losses.
The Corporation is required by law to accumulate a
reserve equal to 5% of all insured accounts and creditor
obligations of all insured institutions before collection of
premiums may be discontinued. It is estimated that this
statutory requirement will amount to $3.2 billion by June
30, 1961. The insurance reserve as of that date is ex

United States, 30.2 million kilowatts had been developed
by Federal agencies and non-Federal interests as of
December 31, 1958.
Studies are made of proposed Federal river development projects to determine possibilities for conservation,
development, and utilization of potential power resources.
Review and approval are required of certain proposed
rates for sale of power from Federal projects. Information
on the power features of river development projects is
furnished to Congress and to Federal and State agencies.

3. Natural gas industry.—Regulation covers the transportation and sale for resale of natural gas in interstate
commerce, and the rates, accounts, and depreciation and
depletion practices. Certificates of public convenience
and necessity are issued to those natural-gas companies
subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. Statistics
about the natural-gas industry are gathered and published. In calendar year 1958, there were approximately
17,000 independent producers, who were making jurisdictional sales under 2,934 rate schedules. There were
also 91 regulated natural-gas pipeline companies, with
operating revenue of $3.6 billion. It is estimated that
the number of independent producers and pipeline companies will remain substantially unchanged in 1959 and
1960. However, the operating revenue of the pipeline
companies is expected to increase to $3.9 billion and $4.3
billion, respectively. Other pertinent data are:

1. Administration and settlement of international
claims.—
Processing of claims of U.S. nationals for the nationalization or other taking of property by Czechoslovakia has been authorized. Funds totaling about $9
million derived from the vesting and sale of Czechoslovakian assets in this country are available as trust funds
from which the Treasury will make payments against the
awards. A 5% deduction will be made as an offset against
appropriations for administrative expenses for the 3 years
of the program by Foreign Claims Settlement Commission
and Treasury Department. A total of 3,977 claims asking
recoveries of about $364 million has been received.
Claims of U.S. nationals against Bulgaria, Hungary,
Rumania, Italy, and the Soviet Union have been completed by the statutory deadline of August 9, 1959.
2. Review of claims programs.—Operations
included in
the President's Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1954, but
not immediately embraced within active claims programs,
are set out as a separate activity not charged to specific
programs. These involve research, reports, documentation, and similar functions responsive to the requirements
of the Congress and of other agencies of the Government
concerning past, present, and proposed claims programs
and problems.

The Corregidor Bataan Memorial Commission was
established to erect on Corregidor Island a memorial to
all those who served under the American flag in the
Pacific area during World War II.
The overall program involves three broad tasks: (a) the
selection of an appropriate design for the memorial;
(b) the obtainment of funds for the construction of the
memorial; and (c) the actual construction of the memorial.
The requested appropriation of $39,600 will provide for
a small staff to carry out necessary planning tasks and for
office expense and travel during 1961.

The activities of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), established in 1958, consist of
research on the problems of aeronautical and space
vehicles, development and test of space vehicles and their
components, and operation of space vehicles for the
exploration of space and other nonmilitary applications.
The 1961 budget contemplates total program costs under
the several appropriation accounts of the agency as
summarized by activity below, based on the new obligational authority recommended for 1961 and anticipated
1960 supplemental estimates totaling $23 million. In
accordance with existing law, authorizing legislation will
be proposed for the 1961 appropriations.

1961, emphasis will continue to be primarily on problems
of manned and unmanned space vehicles, with only a
relatively small effort devoted to problems peculiar to
aircraft and missiles. In the fields of structures and
materials, research will be directed at problems of heating,
vibration, and structural integrity of space vehicles and
at materials which show promise of being able to withstand the extreme conditions to which space vehicles and
their components are subjected. In the propulsion field,
research will be continued on improvements to chemical
rocket systems, and further studies and experiments will
be undertaken to explore the possibilities of nuclear and
electrical rocket propulsion systems for space vehicles.
Increased emphasis will be placed in 1961 on problems of
control and guidance of space vehicles, and on the special
problems that arise when vehicles, equipment, and instruments must operate in a space environment with its novel
conditions of weightlessness, vacuum, and radiation.
Much work in aerodynamics and related fields is required
to provide the information necessary for the design and
operation of manned and unmanned space vehicles which
can reenter the earth's atmosphere at high speeds and be
recovered with crew or instruments intact. Applied
research in aeronautical fields will be limited chiefly to
work in connection with very high speed aircraft under
development by the military services, to research on
short or vertical takeoff aircraft which are of both military
and civil interest, and to continued investigations of
certain problems of nuclear propulsion for aircraft.
Space flight development and operations.—Under this
heading come the funds for the development and procurement of space vehicles, components, and associated
equipment; the development and fabrication of payloads
of scientific instruments and other equipment for launching into space; the actual conduct of space vehicle launching, tracking, and recovery operations; and the construction of the necessary test, launching and tracking
facilities. The areas receiving primary emphasis in 1961
are the manned space flight program—project Mercury—
and the development of very high thrust boosters and the
other necessary components of space vehicle systems to
use them, under the Saturn and related projects. In
project Mercury, if the preliminary tests and experiments
continue to be successful, actual manned space flights
may be attempted in 1961. Completion of the development of a space vehicle system using very high thrust
boosters is still several years in the future, but substantial
progress will be made in testing the Saturn clustered
booster, and work will continue on the development of the
very high thrust single chambered engine and of engines
for upper stages of a complete space vehicle system. A
space vehicle with an upper stage using high-energy fuels
is being developed under project Centaur and should be
ready for testing in 1961. On a longer time scale, development work is continuing on various electrical propulsion
systems and, jointly with the Atomic Energy Commission,
on components of possible future nuclear rocket systems
for space vehicles. The program also provides for additional launchings of scientific satellites and space probes
with improved versions of existing space vehicles to continue the exploration of space and provide needed information for the design and operation of future space vehicles.
Some of these launchings will be used for experiments in
the application of space vehicles in the fields of communications and meteorology.

This appropriation provides for the salaries and operating expenses (other than supplies, equipment, and construction) of the research and development centers and
other activities operated by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration with Government personnel.
1. Aeronautical
and space research.—Research
is
conducted at the Langley, Ames, Lewis, and Flight Research Centers, located at Langley Air Force Base, Va.;
Sunnyvale, Calif.; Cleveland, Ohio; and Edwards Air
Force Base, Calif., respectively. The level of operations
at these centers will be substantially the same in 1961 as
in 1960.
2. Space flight development and operations.—The God-
dard Space Flight Center at Beltsville, Md., will be the
data center for NASA space operations; it will also be
responsible for payloads, primarily for earth satellites,
and for directing the manned space flight program. The
Wallops Station in Virginia will be utilized for launching
sounding rockets, test vehicles, and small satellites. The
NASA facility at Huntsville, Ala., will engage in space
vehicle development including the Saturn very high thrust
booster project. NASA personnel are also located at the
Atlantic and Pacific missile ranges and worldwide tracking stations. The large increase in 1961 results primarily
from the inclusion for the first time in this appropriation
of the full amount of salaries and expenses for the Huntsville facility which is being transferred to NASA from the
Army. This facility was supported previously by funds
for specific missile and space projects, chiefly of the Department of Defense, through the mechanism of work
orders placed with the Army industrial fund at the Army
Ballistic Missiles Agency. Other increases are required
