THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

Composition of Federal Payments




1966

BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress of the United States:
I am presenting to you today the budget of the United States for the
fiscal year 1966.
A budget is a plan of action. It defines our goals, charts our courses,
and outlines our expectations. It reflects hard decisions and difficult
choices. This budget is no exception.
It is a budget of priorities. It provides for what we must do, but
not for all we would like to do.
It is a budget of both opportunity and sacrifice. It begins to grasp
the opportunities of the Great Society. It is restrained by the sacrifices we must continue to make in order to keep our defenses strong and
flexible.
This budget provides reasonably for our needs. It is not extravagant. Neither is it miserly.
It stands on five basic principles:
• Government fiscal policies must promote national strength,
economic progress, and individual opportunity.
• Our tax system must continue to be made less burdensome, more
equitable, and more conducive to continued economic expansion.
• The Great Society must be a bold society. It must not fear to
meet new challenges. It must not fail to seize new opportunities.
• The Great Society must be a compassionate society. It must
always be responsive to human needs.
• The Great Society must be an efficient society. Less urgent programs must give way to make room for higher priority needs. And
each program, old and new, must be conducted with maximum
efficiency, economy, and productivity.
The major features of the 1966 budget translate these principles
into action.
First, excise taxes are substantially reduced. Social security
benefits, including hospital insurance, are increased. These are combined wTith other expenditure increases to yield an overall fiscal policy
designed to maintain our steady economic expansion.
Second, the budget supports a massive defense establishment of
steadily growing power, within reduced outlays.
Third, our international and space programs are being advanced at
a satisfactory rate, but with smaller increases than in earlier years.




8

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Fourth, expanded programs and higher expenditures are proposed
to:
• Provide better and more education for our children.
• Extend the war against poverty.
• Promote advances in the Nation's health.
• Improve conditions in the urban areas where most of us live.
• Help the Appalachian region lift itself out of its present depressed
condition.
• Strengthen our social security protection.
• Increase economic opportunities in rural communities.
• Encourage sound use of our natural resources.
• Conserve natural beauty in our land.
Fifth, a large part of the funds for needed program expansion has
come from savings, reductions, and economies in other parts of the
budget.
FISCAL POLICY
This budget recognizes that a growing economy is needed to promote national strength and progress. It is also needed to move us
toward a balanced budget. When the economy slows down, Federal
revenues fall and spending tends to increase. The result is larger, not
smaller, budget deficits.
Nearly 4 years ago, this Nation began its fourth postwar economic
expansion. With the help of last year's income tax reduction—the
largest and most comprehensive ever enacted—this expansion has already outlasted each of the previous three postwar recoveries.
During the past 4 years, the Nation's real output of goods and
services—the gross national product—has grown at an average rate
of about 5% per year.
New highs have been achieved in employment, income, and profits.
Unemployment has been reduced. Price stability has been maintained.
This is a creditable record of achievement. And we look forward to
continued growth in the year ahead. The Nation's output in calendar
year 1965 is expected to reach $660 billion, plus or minus $5 billion.
Nevertheless, we must keep in mind that our economy is still producing at a level well below its potential. Nearly 4 million people are
out of work. The unemployment rate is still nearly 5%. Plants and
machines are standing idle while human wants and needs go unmet.
An estimated 35 million people continue to live in poverty.
We cannot substitute last year's achievements for next year's goals;
nor can we meet next year's challenge with last year's budget.
The revenue and expenditure proposals presented in the 1966 budget
are carefully designed to promote continued economic expansion and
improved economic opportunities.




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

9

This budget takes into account the need to reduce the Nation's balance of payments deficit. During the last calendar year, the deficit
showed a significant decline. To help insure continued improvement,
I will intensify efforts to carry out Federal activities with the least
possible burden on our balance of payments.
BUDGET SUMMARY
Administrative budget.—In preparing this budget, I have applied
exacting tests of efficiency and necessity to all proposed expenditures.
As a result, total administrative budget expenditures are being held
to $99.7 billion in 1966. Although expenditures will rise by a relatively small amount, they will decline as a percent of the gross national
product—to less than 15%, the lowest ratio achieved in 15 years.

Administrative budget receipts are expected to increase in 1966 to
$94.4 billion. This is $3.2 billion over the estimated level for 1965.
This increase reflects the economic growth anticipated in calendar year
1965. It also takes into account the revenue losses from proposed excise tax changes and from the second stage of income tax cuts enacted
last year.
The resulting 1966 administrative budget deficit of $5.3 billion is
$1 billion lower than the 1965 deficit, marking continued progress
toward a balanced budget.




10

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1 9 6 6

As our population increases, as science and technology change our
methods of doing things, as our wants multiply with the growth in
our incomes, and as urbanization creates new problems, 'there is growing need for more public and private services. I t is evident that unless
defense needs should decline substantially, Government expenditures
will continue to rise over the long run.
At the same time, we have good reason to expect that Government
expenditures in the years ahead will grow more slowly than the gross
national product, so that the ratio of Federal spending to our total
output will continue to decline.
The expenditures proposed in this budget reflect a careful
balancing of national goals against budgetary costs. The budget I
now present will, in my judgment, carry out the responsibilities of the
Federal Government efficiently and wisely. I t was constructed on that
basis alone.
My budgets for both 1965 and 1966 have provided for major increases in areas of high national priority—particularly education,
health, aid to the needy, housing, and the war on poverty. Also, for
these 2 consecutive years, careful pruning of less urgent programs and
vigorous cost reduction efforts have, on balance, resulted in lower expenditures in other major sectors of the budget. The application of
these strict policies of priority and frugality is evident in the modest
growth in administrative budget expenditures.

Consolidated cash statement.—The administrative budget is based
on a definition of Federal spending which excludes such important
Federal activities as social security and highway construction that
are financed through trust funds. A more comprehensive measure
of the Government's finances is the consolidated cash budget which
covers all of the Government's programs.




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

Expenditure Changes 1964-1966

Health, Labor, Education, Housing and Community Development
Economic Opportunity Program, and A i d to the N e e d y ^

On the consolidated cash basis, total payments to the public are
estimated at $127.4 billion in 1966. Total receipts from the public are
estimated at $123.5 billion, resulting in a net excess of payments of
$3.9 billion. The estimated increase of $6.0 billion in cash payments
in 1966 over 1965 is mostly in trust funds which are financed by special
taxes.
About $9.5 billion of the nondefense payments recommended in
this budget—almost 2y2 times the size of the entire cash deficit—
represent an investment in physical and financial assets which will
provide benefits to the Nation for many years to come. These payments are made for Federal civil public works, equipment, and loans
as well as for highways, hospitals, and other State, local, and private
assets.
Federal sector, national income accounts.—Another measure of Federal finance which includes trust funds emphasizes the direct impact of
Government fiscal activities on the economy. This measure is based on
the national income accounts. Under this concept, Federal fiscal data
are estimated on an accrual rather than a cash basis. Purely financial
transactions—such as loans—which do not directly affect production
or income are excluded. On this basis, the deficit for 1966 is estimated
at $6.0 billion.

business tax liabilities by about $14 billion in the current calendar
year.
With this substantial change in income taxes completed, it is now
appropriate to revise and adjust excise taxes as well. Some of the
present excises are costly and inefficient to administer. Some impose
onerous recordkeeping burdens on small business. Some distort consumer choices as among different kinds of goods.
Within the revenue requirements for continued progress toward a
balanced budget, I believe it is vital that we correct the most pressing
of these deficiencies this year. I plan to transmit to the Congress
recommendations to repeal some excise taxes and reduce others. In
addition to improving the tax system, the recommended changes will
increase purchasing power and stimulate further growth in the
economy.
These changes should become effective July 1, 1965. They will
reduce tax liabilities on a full-year basis by $1.75 billion. Revenues
collected by the Treasury in 1966 will be reduced by $1.5 billion.
My other major revenue proposals this year involve important activities financed through trust funds.
I am recommending prompt enactment of a hospital insurance
program for elderly persons, who are finding hospital and medical
costs far greater than their ability to pay. This program should be

self-financing, with a combined employer-employee payroll contribution of 0.6% on the first $5,600 of income to start in calendar year 1966.
I am also recommending an increase from $4,800 to $5,600 in the
wage base on which social security taxes are paid. This would take
effect on January 1, 1966, and would be coupled with a smaller increase in the payroll tax than is scheduled at that date under existing
law. These changes will provide the funds for the needed increases
being proposed in old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits.
While I am recommending reductions in certain excise taxes, I am
also proposing increases in certain other excise taxes which are in the
nature of user charges. The excise taxes for which I am recommending reduction or repeal are not associated, with the provision of particular Government services. However, certain existing excises on
transportation are in effect a charge for the use of facilities and services provided by the Government. In these cases, I am proposing
changes in user charges for transportation so that different modes of
transportation can compete on more equitable and efficient terms and
users of special Government services will pay a greater share of the
costs.
The estimated cost of completing the Interstate Highway System—
which is financed by highway user taxes—has recently been increased
by $5.8 billion. To avoid serious delay in completing the system,
while remaining on a pay-as-you-go basis, I will include in my excise
tax proposals specific recommendations for increasing certain highway user charges.




15

THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

In contrast to the users of the highways, the users of the airways
and inland waterways bear considerably less than the full cost of the
Government investments and services provided them. Accordingly, I
am recommending increased or new taxes on aviation gasoline and jet
fuels and a new tax on air freight for commercial aviation. Eeceipts
from the existing 2-cent tax on aviation gasoline should be kept in the
general fund rather than transferred to the highway trust fund, and
the 5% ticket tax on air passengers should be made permanent. A fuel
tax for inland waterway users is also being proposed.
I will continue to press for other user charges in Government programs where benefits are provided to specific, identifiable individuals
and businesses. Fairness to all taxpayers demands that those who
enjoy special benefits should bear a greater share of the costs. Legislation is needed for some of the charges, such as patent and meat inspection fees. In other instances, equitable user charges will be instituted through administrative action.
I will also present recommendations to correct certain abuses in the
tax-exempt privileges enjoyed by private foundations.
NEW OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY
This budget includes new obligational authority for 1966 of $106.4
billion in the administrative budget.
• $93.5 billion of this requires congressional action this year.
• $12.9 billion represents permanent authorizations that do not require further congressional action, mainly the appropriation for
interest on the public debt.
Most of the $34.5 billion in new obligational authority recommended
for 1966 for trust funds represents revenues from special taxes which
are automatically appropriated.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

The 1965 estimate in the administrative budget includes $6.0 billion
of recommended supplemental authorizations. These authorizations
will provide funds for several programs for which I am requesting
immediate consideration and enactment—for example, housing activities and aid to Appalachia. The new obligations! authority and related expenditures under these supplemental proposals are reflected
fully in the estimates presented in this budget.
FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES
The soundness of a budget can only be judged by the merits of the
programs it proposes and the levels of expenditure it recommends.
For both old and new programs, merit turns on a weighing of benefits against costs. In constructing this budget, I have tried to apply
this approach to the entire range of Government operations.

THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

17

As the year unfolds, developments may occur which call for prompt
action by the Government. This is particularly true in international
affairs, in the civil supersonic aircraft program, and in moving ahead
with the recommendations resulting from various studies and analyses
I am requesting, such as that related to military and civilian pay.
Specific legislation and appropriations to meet such contingencies
will be proposed as needed, but the amounts which may be required
cannot now be estimated with any confidence. The budget therefore
includes an allowance for contingencies of $650 million in new obligational authority and $400 million in expenditures. These amounts
are larger than is customary. Their inclusion makes it clear that the
budget totals are intended to provide adequately for meeting new
needs that may arise or seizing new opportunities that may be presented.
Here are the highlights of my expenditure recommendations:
National defense.—We cannot afford second-best defense forces.
Neither can we afford to be wasteful.
Our defense forces have reached new levels of strength. With the
rapid strides made in the past 4 years and the future gains already
scheduled, our powerful modern forces will be adequate to their tasks
for years to come. In cooperation with our allies, we have now provided for:
• Forces able to deter nuclear attack.
• Forces able to counter conventional aggression and prevent the
piecemeal erosion of the free world.
• Forces, in short, able to promote peace.
We still have improvements to make. We must maintain a strong
research and development program to insure that our forces are
always the most modern in the world.
The 1966 budget fully provides for these needs.
However, we are able to reduce our defense expenditures in 1966
because:
• The buildup of our forces which started in 1961 is nearly complete.
• The vigorous cost reduction program of the Department of Defense is producing large savings.
• Less effective and less economical forces are being retired or reduced as promptly as possible.
International affairs and finance.—We cannot achieve lasting
world peace with armaments alone. Nor can greater worldwide
prosperity be bought with money alone. These goals will be achieved
only through the hard work, patience, understanding, and strength of
men of good will everywhere.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 19 66

Yet it is essential that we continue to put our best energies and
some of our vast economic resources to work in solving the problems
the world faces today. Prudent and careful expenditures for our
international programs can help to keep men free, to promote understanding, and to substitute cooperation and negotiation for force in
world affairs.
The 1966 budget calls for only a very modest increase in foreign
economic assistance expenditures. With these funds, we will continue
to concentrate our aid efforts in those less developed countries that are
demonstrating the will and determination required to achieve political
stability and economic growth.
We shall maintain our firm commitment to the Alliance for
Progress—the focus of our efforts to achieve unity and understanding
in this hemisphere. As an important part of this commitment, I
recommend prompt action to permit our participation in the expansion
of the Inter-American Development Bank.
This budget also enables us to:
• Continue our participation in and support for the United
Nations.
• Maintain an adequate and alert network of diplomatic posts
around the world.
• Improve our overseas information activities, so that others may
know us not just as a rich nation, but as a free and responsible nation
as well.
• Expand the Peace Corps, by now a proven experiment in international cooperation.
In an important step to strengthen the free world's financial system,
the members of the International Monetary Fund are considering an
increase in quotas. Upon completion of these discussions, expected
shortly, I shall recommend that the Congress authorize promptly the
funds needed to provide the U.S. share of this increase.
Space research and technology.—This Nation has embarked on a
bold program of space exploration and research which holds promise
of rich rewards in many fields of American life. Our boldness is
clearly indicated by the broad scope of our program and by our intent
to send men to the moon within this decade.
The costs are high—as we knew they would be when we launched
this effort. We have seen a rise in annual expenditures for the space
program from less than one-half billion dollars in 1960 to over $4
billion in 1964.

Expenditures are continuing to increase. However, we have built up
momentum and are concentrating on our highest priority goals.
Therefore, we will no longer need to increase space outlays by huge
sums each year in order to meet our present objectives.
This budget proposes that expenditures increase by $200 million in
1966 over 1965. This is the smallest annual increase since 1959. The
new obligational authority requested is about the same as enacted for
1965.
Agriculture and agricultural resources.—The increased productive efficiency of our farms has contributed greatly to growth of the
national economy. This efficiency, in turn, has contributed, along
with our high per capita income, to making us the best-fed nation in
the world, while men are leaving farms and entering other occupations.
However, because of lack of adequate employment opportunities, the
rapidly declining need for people to operate our farms has also meant
low incomes for all too many of our rural families. We must therefore find ways to help provide a greater share of our national prosperity for those rural families that do not farm or who can no longer
look to farming as a sole source of income.
Progress toward this goal will be made both through broader programs to fight poverty and through programs specially aimed at increasing economic opportunities and improving living conditions for
rural people. The latter include a proposal for an insured loan
program which will help provide more and better housing in rural
areas.




20

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

I shall shortly transmit to the Congress my recommendations to
continue and improve our farm commodity programs.
For the longer run, we need to explore new approaches to the problems with which the farm commodity programs are designed to deal.
I have directed the Secretary of Agriculture to make a comprehensive review of the kinds of programs needed for the changing
farm economy. I strongly believe that programs can be designed that
will continue the national benefit from our present highly efficient
commercial agriculture, bolster farm income, put less burden on the
Federal budget, and direct more of our effort to the problems of lowincome farmers.
Natural resources.—During its last session, the Congress passed
a number of far-reaching laws that will advance significantly the development, conservation, and use of our natural resources. They include the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, the Wilderness
Act, and the Water Resources Research Act. The 1966 budget will
implement these measures.
The budget also recommends the start of 37 new projects by the
Corps of Engineers, 9 new projects by the Bureau of Reclamation, and
5 new projects by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
About two-thirds of the total expenditures for natural resources
will be used to continue construction and operation of projects to provide water, control floods, improve navigation, and generate power.
Increased attention has been focused in recent years on the importance of the wise use and conservation of our water resources. Federal
investment in water and related resources development has grown
sharply—and is expected to grow further in the period ahead.
Urban, industrial, and recreational requirements for water have
increased greatly in recent years and will continue to increase as
our economy grows. The relative priorities of many historic water
uses, including cropland, are changing. The implications of the
changing needs for water resources programs and the most effective
means of achieving our objectives are under intensified review to meet
changing priorities.
The budget provides for a major expansion in research to develop
improved technology for desalting water, including the use of nuclear
energy. This program holds important promise in a world where
water is a key to economic development and well-being.
I am also again recommending legislation to authorize river basin
planning commissions and grants to States for planning the best use
of water resources.
Nuclear energy will become increasingly important in meeting the
rapidly growing demand for electric power. Power reactors must be
improved, however, to make better use of nuclear fuel resources than




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

21

they do today, as well as to provide economical electricity. In 1966,
the Atomic Energy Commission plans to join with non-Federal
groups in the construction of two different advanced power reactors
which incorporate substantial improvements over those now in use.
The Commission is also working toward the long-range objective
of high-gain breeder reactors which produce significantly more fuel
than they consume. These breeders would insure a tremendous energy
source for centuries to come.
Commerce and transportation.—The vitality of the millions of
privately owned businesses is essential to our continued economic development. The Federal Government will continue to provide extensive encouragement toward this end.
In the depressed areas of our Nation, we must create a constructive
partnership between industry and government which will improve
opportunities for new investment and new jobs.
I urge prompt congressional action to:
• Extend the program begun by the Area Redevelopment Act of
1961, now scheduled to expire on June 30,1965.
• Amend the act so that Federal aids can be concentrated in areas
of greatest need and can emphasize the most effective types of assistance.
If the Nation is to have a truly efficient system of transportation, we
must revise the traditional Government programs of regulation and
operating subsidies to place greater reliance upon the forces of free
competition. My proposals for charging users of Government transportation services a greater share of the costs incurred on their behalf
are consistent with this objective. In addition, my proposals for
transportation will provide for greater emphasis on the recreational
and scenic aspects of our road system.
To encourage long-overdue improvements in surface transportation
in our densely populated regions, I will propose legislation to authorize a comprehensive program of technical research and development
on high-speed, intercity surface transport. As a first step, we will
begin demonstrations of possible improvements in existing rail
passenger services in the Northeast Corridor of the Nation.
By increasing efficiency and productivity, the Post Office Department has been able to avoid a general increase in postal rates since
calendar year 1962. Despite these efforts, however, significant postal
deficits are now estimated in the current and future years. At my
request, a panel of distinguished citizens will consider whether certain
postal rates should be increased to bring them into line with postal
costs.




22

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1066

Housing and community development.—The Federal Government's role in the Nation's huge annual investment in housing and
community development is largely indirect. The Government insures
savings and loan accounts and mortgages, encouraging private investment and making large direct Federal investments unnecessary.
Today these insurance programs are involved in about half of the
homes purchased or being built.
Yet, some direct Federal aid is, and will remain, necessary. This
type of aid gives incentives to forward-looking communities, lenders
and builders, and private citizens, who share the national concern over
the unsatisfactory state of American cities.
In a message on housing and urban development, I will present my
proposals for further extension of the Federal-local-private
partnership in meeting city problems. Revitalized Federal leadership
through a new Department of Housing and Urban Development will
be coupled with increased emphasis on comprehensive local planning.
Federal financial assistance will be offered to:
• Support the neighborhood facilities needed to serve the city's
people.
• Increase the supply of low and moderate income housing.
• Continue the attack on urban blight.
• Encourage better standards of development and more adequate
public facilities at the growing urban fringe.
No recent step in improving the prospects for future urban development has been more significant than the enactment of the Urban Mass
Transportation Act of 1964. To extend similar opportunities to the
local communities of the National Capital region, I urge authorization of the special Federal assistance required to provide the
nucleus of an adequate system of high-speed urban transportation
for this area.
Health, labor, and welfare.—The Economic Opportunity Act of
1964 rededicated the Nation to a vigorous attack on the causes of the
poverty which grips one-fifth of our population—including 15 million
children. Our objective is to mobilize local, State, and Federal
resources in a coordinated effort to assist the poor—especially children
and youth—to achieve a better life.
The 1966 budget provides for almost doubling the new obligational
authority and quadrupling the expenditures for this effort. These
funds will:
• Support 300 urban and rural community action programs.




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

23

• Provide work opportunities, remedial education, and vocational
training for 330,000 youths in the Job Corps and the Neighborhood
Youth Corps.
• Provide work-study opportunities for 100,000 needy college
students and work experience for 110,000 unemployed adults.
• Support the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA); finance
literacy training for adults; and assist migrant workers, farmers,
and other low-income rural families.
To improve health care and facilities for the American people, the
1966 budget includes new proposals for:
• Hospital insurance for the aged under social security.
• Multipurpose regional medical centers to provide the most
advanced diagnosis and treatment for heart disease, cancer, stroke,
and other major diseases.
• Grants for operating expenses of medical and dental schools.
• Initial staffing of community mental health centers.
• Improved medical diagnostic and treatment services for preschool
and school age children and youth.
• Grants for projects to reduce water pollution caused by combined
storm and sanitary sewers.
• Increased aid to State and local air and water pollution control
agencies for research and for more vigorous enforcement.
Our social security system provides needed day-in and day-out
support to the millions who have contributed to it during their working years. This system needs strengthening.
In addition to hospital insurance for the aged, I am proposing legislation to provide ail average 7% increase in social security benefits, retroactive to January 1, 1965. The increase in benefit payments
will amount to about $2 billion in 1966.
I am proposing legislation to authorize long overdue improvements
in the unemployment insurance system.
Improvements are also needed in our public assistance and manpower training programs.
Legislation will be recommended to increase the Federal share of
public assistance payments, establish a program of medical care for
children in families unable to afford such care, and authorize payments
for needy aged persons in mental and tuberculosis hospitals.
Recommendations will also be made to broaden the Manpower
Development and Training Act and increase the Federal share of
project costs to 90% from the 66% which would go into effect under
present law in 1966.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Education.—Among the unfinished tasks of our Nation, the improvement of education deserves first priority.
It is our primary weapon in the war on poverty and the principal
tool for building a Great Society.
This budget recognizes the increasing Federal responsibility to expand educational opportunity for all people and at all levels. I t
provides an increase in 1966 of over 60% in new obligational authority and over 75% in outlays. The programs of the Office of Education alone are more than doubled in 1966.

The 88th Congress enacted more education legislation than any previous Congress. About 30% of the estimated increase in expenditures for education in 1966 is to carry out the Higher Education
Facilities Act of 1963, the Vocational Education Act of 1963, the
Library Services and Construction Act of 1964, and the National
Defense Education Act Amendments of 1964.
But much remains to be done. Federal aid to meet critical needs in
elementary and secondary education has not been enacted. Such aid is
vital if we are to end the situation in which children are handicapped
for life because they happen to live in communities which cannot support good schools.
The program I am proposing emphasizes assistance to improve
elementary and secondary education, particularly for children who
live in poverty. It will step up research in education and help schools
and communities to provide wider educational opportunities for all.
It will also strengthen higher education by expanding assistance to




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

25

colleges and to college students. My proposals were presented more
fully in a special message on education.
I also propose to expand present programs of support for academic
reiSearch and science education. In 1966, expenditures by the National
Science Foundation will increase by 25%, primarily to help provide an
adequate rate of growth in Federal support for basic research in universities. Consistent with these objectives, I recommend that the
Congress remove its restrictions on payments to universities for indirect costs of research grants.
Veterans benefits and services.—Veterans benefits and services
under the basic, continuing compensation, pension, and medical care
programs will be at record levels in 1966.
• Nearly 4% million veterans or their survivors will receive compensation and pension payments.
• 690,000 veterans will be admitted to hospitals, domiciliary homes,
or nursing homes.
Legislation enacted in 1964 by the 88th Congress to increase pension
rates and to establish new nursing home programs will entail expenditures in 1966 of more than $100 million.
In line with the trend of recent years, an increasing part of the
expenditures for veterans will be for non-service-connected benefits
and services. As we continue to improve our social security and health
protection programs, we should place greater reliance on these programs for meeting veterans needs not connected with their military
service. Our major emphasis in veterans programs should be concentrated on meeting fully our obligation to those who were disabled in
the defense of the country and to their dependents and survivors.
The Appalachian region.—The Appalachian region of the United
States has not shared fully in the great growth and prosperity enjoyed
by the Nation as a whole. The 16 million people of this 165,000square-mile area deserve a better opportunity to improve their region.
Many of the education, health, housing, and economic opportunity
programs already outlined in the budget will help to overcome the
problems brought on by chronic poverty. We need to make the most
effective use of these programs. But a special effort is required to help
this region. This means that Federal, State, local, and private institutions must combine to:
• Improve access to the region.
• Develop its natural resources.
• Promote better employment opportunities for its people.
I urge the enactment of legislation to make this possible.




26

THE

BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

Employee pay*—In preparing this budget, I have given close attention to the matter of Government pay.
Federal pay raises in the past 3 years have moved us much nearer
to realizing the principle that civilian pay rates should be comparable
to those in private enterprise for the same levels of work and that
changes in pay and allowances of members of the uniformed forces
should keep pace with advances in the general economy. These policies have been firmly established after careful congressional review.
Taken together, they assure that civilian and military pay are effectively interrelated and maintained at rates which are fair to taxpayers
and to Federal employees.
I believe, however, that it is equally essential to assure that any
proposals for further pay adjustments during this calendar year accurately reflect pay developments in the private economy and be compatible with our national wage and price objectives.
For these reasons, I am appointing a special panel to make a prompt
review of the present situation. This panel will be composed equally
of distinguished public members and officers of the executive branch.
It will report to me on April 1, 1965, after which I will make a
recommendation to the Congress. Provision has been made in the
allowance for contingencies for a possible military and civilian pay
increase.
PUBLIC DEBT
Changes in the amount of public debt from year to year reflect primarily the amount of the budget surplus or deficit. Based on the estimates presented in this budget, the debt on June 30, 1965, will be
$316.9 billion and on June 30,1966, $322.5 billion.

Under present law, the temporary debt limit of $324 billion will
continue in effect through June 30,1965. Then—if no action is taken—
the permanent legislative ceiling of $285 billion will again become




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

27

effective. It will be necessary, therefore, to raise the legal debt ceiling
before that date.
The size of the debt limit needed is strongly affected by the seasonal
pattern of Federal receipts and expenditures. Since receipts are always larger in the last half of the fiscal year, the public debt during
1966 will, from time to time, exceed the level presently estimated for
June 30,1966.
These seasonal fluctuations will require a higher debt limit than
would be necessary if we had only to consider the amount of debt at
the end of the fiscal year.
The need for flexibility in managing the debt must also be considered
in fixing the debt limit. The Treasury generally borrows relatively
large amounts of cash at periodic intervals during the year. These
sizable financing operations are—and should be—carefully timed to
take full advantage of favorable market conditions when they exist.
REDUCING GOVERNMENT COSTS
As we focus attention on improving the quality of American life,
we must also see to the quality of American Government.
The tasks we face are formidable. They require new dedication,
new vision, and new skills. We have neither the resources nor the
right to saddle our people with unproductive and inefficient Government organization, services, or practices.




28

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

This must be a year of renewal—a year that will be long remembered
for what we accomplish in bringing the public service to its highest
state of readiness.
To realize this renewal, action will be necessary on a wide front.
I pledge that this administration will strive to conduct the work of
the Government by the same exacting standards that would apply in
the most expertly managed private business.
Government organization,—We must reorganize and modernize the
structure of the executive branch in order to focus responsibilities and
increase efficiency. I will shortly propose certain reorganizations
which will constitute the initial and most urgent steps that I deem
necessary to consolidate functions and strengthen coordination of
related activities.
I will ask that permanent reorganization authority be granted to the
President to initiate improvements in Government organization,
subject to the disapproval of the Congress.
Controlling employment.—In this budget, as in the budget for 1965,
I have insisted upon stringent criteria to control the growth of Federal
civilian employment. It is important that we have enough people to
carry on the Government's business efficiently, but we must also see that
we have no more employees than we need.
Realistic guidelines and goals have been established to aid administrators in the effective management of the Government's large and
diverse work force. Controls on employment have been established
for each agency. To remove the guesswork from determination of
employment needs, agencies are installing improved work measurement systems, and the Bureau of the Budget is providing advice and
assistance in introducing measures of productivity into agency management systems. The result of such efforts has been and will continue to be a reduction in the size of the Federal work force relative
to the work being accomplished. The effectiveness of these controls
may be seen in the fact that had Federal civilian employment kept its
1955 relationship to total population, Federal employees would have
totaled 2,747,000 on June 30,1964, more than 275,000 above the actual
number as of that date.
Modest and highly selective increases in employment are proposed
in the budget for 1966, mainly to carry out new and expanded programs recommended in this budget and to reduce excessive overtime
in the Post Office Department. At the same time, we will take full
advantage of every opportunity to keep the work force at minimum
levels by eliminating functions, consolidating operations, closing unnecessary offices and installations, and abolishing vacancies. Total




employment

Total, Federal Government, State and Local Government

lian employment proposed for 1966 is about 1% above the totals for
current year, and I am confident that we will be able to keep actual
)loyment somewhat below these estimates.
r

anagement improvement and cost reduction.—The past year has
i a successful one from the standpoint of improved management
cost reduction. Next year will be still better.
ed by the outstanding performance of the Department of Defense,
'eminent agencies last year undertook cost reductions that saved
ost $3.5 billion. These economies were not easy to come by. They
e resulted from the concentrated work of Government officials and
)loyees in all agencies, large and small. They reflect a wide variety
ctions ranging from the abolition of reports and other publications
he introduction of computers, the application of modern business
ipment, the adoption of new purchasing methods, and decisions to
e major installations.
am counting heavily on the continuation and acceleration of cost
notion and management improvement efforts. Every dollar saved
his way can be put to better use in carrying on more urgent busi5. And today every dollar is important. Among other things,
nust:
Continue our war on excessive paperwork.
Increase our capacity to find and correct management weaknesses
iroughout the Government.




30

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

• Reexamine our career services, making certain that they are all
they should be with respect to selection, training, placement, promotion, rotation, retirement, and removal.
• Seek legislation that will remove legal barriers to efficient operation.
I have instructed the Director of the Bureau of the Budget to
give direction to a comprehensive, Government-wide cost reduction
program to be put into effect in every department and agency. In general, this program will require the head of each agency to:
• Take personal charge of cost reduction efforts.
• Set specific goals for reductions in cost.
• Reassess priorities for all programs and operations.
• Identify and remove roadblocks to economy.
• Verify reported savings.
I believe the Congress and the American people approve my goals
of economy and efficiency. I believe they are as opposed to waste as
I am. We can and will eliminate it.
CONCLUSION
Since I sent you my first budget a year ago:
• 4 million Americans have been born.
• 3.2 million young people have reached college age.
• 1.7 million new families have been formed.
• 1.3 million persons have entered the labor force.
• 1.5 million persons have reached retirement age.
Thus, our Nation faces growing responsibilities. But we also possess
growing resources to meet them.
One result of our expanding economy is a larger revenue potential.
This means a potential for:
• Necessary increases in Federal expenditures.
• Reductions in taxes.
• Reductions in the public debt.
No one of these goals is paramount at all times. Each must be balanced against the others to assure our continued progress toward a
Great Society.




THE BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

31

This progress does not rest on economic growth alone. It is aimed
at improving the quality of our way of life. And it is aimed at insuring that all Americans share in this way of life.
The Federal Government must do its part.
This does not mean simply spending more.
It does mean spending more on some new and vital activities. But
it also means cutting back or eliminating activities which are less
urgent or no longer necessary.
Where there is waste, to end it; where there are needs, to meet
them; where there are just hopes, to move toward their fullfillment—
that is the object of the budget which I now submit to your
consideration.
LYNDON B. JOHNSON.

PART 3

RECEIPTS

49

ANALYSIS OF RECEIPTS BY SOURCE
This section of the budget presents detailed information about the
revenue estimates and the changes recommended in tax laws.
Economic base of estimates.—Continued
economic expansion is
expected to raise gross national product to $660 billion in calendar
year 1965, an increase of nearly $38 billion over calendar year 1964.
This projection should be considered as the midpoint of a $10 billion
range, from $655 billion to $665 billion. Personal income and corporate profits will rise along with the growth in output. T h e Revenue
Act of 1964, now in full effect with reduced tax rates t h a t became
effective on J a n u a r y 1, 1965, will continue to add to the economy's
growth. Proposed legislation also will affect receipts in fiscal year
1966 and will produce, on balance, an additional stimulus to the
economy. T h e proposed excise tax cuts will provide a significant
economic thrust and the budget's expenditure proposals are also
expansionary. Trust fund receipts will rise, chiefly through increased
payroll taxes, effective January 1, 1966, for the old-age and survivors
insurance and new hospital insurance trust funds; the economic effect
of t h e increase in trust receipts will be more than offset in fiscal 1966
by new and expanded trust fund expenditures.
Specifically, the revenue estimates in the budget for 1966 are based
on the following economic assumptions:

The level of aggregate economic performance is the primary determinant of tax revenues, but estimates of tax revenues cannot be
derived directly and simply from the assumed levels of economic
performance. Several important factors intervene, including the
timing of tax payments, differences between the definitions of statutory
and economic incomes, and the distribution of the various forms of
income among taxpayers.

RECEIPTS

Estimated
changes in revenues.—Total
receipts from the public
are estimated at $123 billion in fiscal year 1966, an increase of $6
billion over the level estimated for fiscal year 1965. These estimates
assume enactment of the revenue legislation discussed below.

Individual income tax receipts are estimated at $48.2 billion in fiscal
1966, compared with $47 billion in 1965. Higher personal incomes
will produce a substantial increase in the individual income tax base.
Part of the rise in receipts will be offset by the second-stage reduction
of income tax rates that was enacted in the Revenue Act of 1964 and
went into effect on January 1, 1965. The total effect on 1966 revenues
of the individual income tax reduction is estimated at $11.5 billion at
the presently assumed higher level of personal income, but this higher
level would not have been possible without the stimulus of the tax
reduction.
Corporation income tax receipts in fiscal year 1966 will reach an
estimated level of $27.6 billion, a rise above fiscal 1965 receipts of
$2 billion. The tax rate on corporation incomes above $25,000 de-

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

creased by 2 percentage points for corporate tax years beginning after
December 31, 1964. The resulting decline in tax collections will be
more than offset by increased corporate profits and the third of
seven steps in the acceleration of corporate payments on estimated
income tax liabilities.
Excise tax receipts in the administrative budget will decline to $9.8
billion in fiscal year 1966. Proposed legislation to repeal certain excise taxes will reduce collections by $1.5 billion. This will be offset
in part by several new and increased taxes on users of the Federal
airways and inland waterways systems. All receipts from these
sources will be deposited in the general fund. Collections will also
increase from excise taxes that remain unchanged, reflecting increased
sales of the products and services involved.
Miscellaneous receipts will rise by $478 million to $4.1 billion. The
major sources for increased receipts are higher payments of earnings
by the Federal Reserve System and of rents on Outer Continental
Shelf lands and proposed legislation to accelerate sales from the
strategic and critical materials stockpile.
Employment taxes are estimated at $18.7 billion. The increase of
$2 billion reflects mainly the effect of proposed legislation discussed
below.
Deposits by States for unemployment insurance will fall to $2.9 billion in 1966, a change of $50 million from 1965. High and rising
employment levels are expected to qualify many firms for reduced tax
rates under State experience rating provisions.
Proposed legislation.—The major revenue proposals recommended
for enactment this year are summarized in this section.
Excise taxes.—Legislation is being recommended to repeal or reduce
selected excise taxes on July 1, 1965. Excise tax liabilities will be
reduced by $1.75 billion, of which $1.5 billion will be reflected in lower
collections in fiscal year 1966. The proposed legislation also will make
permanent all the taxes that are continued. It will replace temporary
tax legislation under which excise taxes on alcoholic beverages,
cigarettes, passenger automobiles, automobile parts and accessories,
and general telephone service automatically would be reduced or
would expire after June 30, 1965.
Employment taxes.—It is recommended that the taxable income base
for the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance programs be
raised from $4,800 to $5,600, effective on January 1, 1966. It is also




RECEIPTS

proposed to increase the payroll tax from the current 7.25% to 8.5%
on January 1, 1966, instead of 8.25% as required by existing law. Of
the increase, 0.6% will be devoted to meeting the requirements of the
new hospital insurance program. The changes will also provide
funds for increased benefit payments under the old-age, survivors,
and disability insurance programs. Increases will also be requested
for the Railroad Retirement Board trust fund.
Federal unemployment tax.—Legislation will be proposed to increase
the payroll tax under the Federal-State Employment Security system,
effective on calendar year 1966 wages. The increased tax rate is
designed to strengthen the administration and to finance proposed
improvements in the system, including a longer period of eligibility for
unemployment benefits for workers permanently attached to the labor
force. Federal trust fund receipts under this program are not expected to show the effects of the new tax rate until fiscal year 1967
because receipts are not deposited with the Treasury until after the
calendar year ends.
User charges.—Legislation authorizing additional user charges and
extending others is recommended, in keeping with the policy that a
greater share of the costs of certain programs which provide special
benefits or privileges should be borne by identifiable primary
beneficiaries.
Commercial and general aviation users of the Federal airways
system would be expected to contribute directly to defraying a larger
portion of its costs. For general aviation, a tax of 4 cents per gallon
on gasoline and jet fuels is recommended in place of the current 2
cents per gallon tax on gasoline alone. Jet fuels purchased by
commercial aviation would be taxed at 2 cents per gallon, and the same
rate of taxation would be continued for gasoline used in commercial
aviation. The recommendations also include a 2% tax on air freight
and continuation of the 5% tax on air passenger travel on a permanent
basis. These taxes would be deposited in the general fund, including
the gasoline tax paid by airways users that now goes into the highway
trust fund.
Institution of a 2 cents per gallon fuel tax is proposed for vessels
using the inland waterways system.
The self-financed Federal-aid interstate highway program is facing
rising construction costs. To provide increased receipts for the highway trust fund, legislation will be proposed to increase taxes on highway users. These tax rate increases together with an extension of all
highway trust fund taxes beyond the present October 1, 1972, expiration date will permit the interstate program to continue at a reasonable
rate of progress.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 19 66

Congress is requested to authorize new or revised user charge
schedules to cover the costs of several specific services available from
the Federal Government. A revised fee schedule for - the Patent
Office, for example, would bring it closer to a self-sustaining pattern of
operations.
For several programs, the proposed user charges will be employed
directly to offset the expenditures needed for their operation. Activities included within this group are: (1) inspection of meat and
poultry, grading of wheat, cotton and tobacco, and inspection of warehouses; (2) border inspection of private vessels and aircraft t h a t
require overtime work; and (3) certain technical assistance provided
by the Soil Conservation Service.
Revolving funds.—Legislation
is requested to create revolving funds
for the Rural Electrification Administration and three power administrations—Bonneville, Southeastern, and Southwestern. With authority to operate as revolving funds, the agencies would be able to
finance their current operations and necessary capital outlays with
collections on outstanding loans and revenues from power sales subject
to control through the regular appropriations process. Enactment
of this legislation will reduce, equally, miscellaneous receipts of the
Treasury and expenditures by the agencies; it will not affect the
budgetary surplus or deficit.

PART 4

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM
BY FUNCTION




63

ANALYSIS OF FEDERAL ACTIVITIES BY FUNCTION
This part of the budget describes the program recommended for the
Government for fiscal year 1966 according to the 12 major functions served. It covers both existing programs and new proposals.
The 1966 program has three major objectives: (1) to strengthen
further the Nation's defenses and provide for its international obligations; (2) to advance our economy and the well being of our people;
and (3) to minimize the taxpayer's burden by reducing costs, weeding
out obsolete activities, and operating essential activities efficiently.
SUMMARY
In fiscal year 1966, total Federal payments to the public are estimated at $127.4 billion. This amount includes not only the $99.7
billion of expenditures in the administrative budget but also the outlays of Government trust funds, which finance such programs as
social security and Federal-aid highway construction.
For the first time since 1950, payments in 1966 for national defense,
international, and space objectives will account for less than half of
the total. Outlays for these functions combined are estimated at
$61.8 billion in 1966. Interest payments and veterans benefits—
which represent mainly continuing costs arising from past wars—are
estimated to be $13.9 billion, another 11% of the total.
The remaining Federal payments are expected to be $51.7 billion,
or almost 4 1 % of the total. About two-thirds of this amount is
for health, labor, and welfare programs—mainly social security,
unemployment compensation, and other trust fund payments.
Apart from the expenditures estimated in the 12 functional categories, the budget includes for fiscal year 1966 special allowances of
$107 million for a comprehensive program to promote the economic
development of the Appalachian region and $400 million to cover
contingencies that may arise during the fiscal year. The amount
included for contingencies is high to assure that adequate provision
has been made in the 1966 budget for unanticipated developments or
for recommendations which may result from various studies and
analyses that have been initiated.
The program for Appalachia is proposed as a concerted effort to
build up the economic base for this particularly depressed region and
complements the nationwide area redevelopment and economic opportunity programs.

SPECIAL ASPECTS OF THE GOVERNMENT PROGRAM
The following summary highlights certain significant aspects of the
Government's 1966 budget program.

Federal expenditures and national output.—Federal expenditures in the national income accounts are estimated to be $127.0
billion in 1966, an increase of $6.0 billion over 1965. This increase
in purchases of goods and services and other income payments will
provide a strong stimulus to the Nation's economy during the coming
months.
Different types of Federal expenditures have different economic
effects. Direct Federal purchases of goods and services represent
the use of currently produced resources by the Federal Government.
These purchases are estimated to be $66.7 billion in 1966 and will
amount to about 10% of the gross national product. More than fourfifths of Federal purchases are for defense and space activities.
Federal expenditures other than for purchases of goods and services *
directly affect income and thereby influence consumer spending,
business investment, and State and local government purchases.
These Federal outlays are estimated to be $60.3 billion in 1966. This
is about 9% of the gross national product, up slightly from the
estimate for the current year. The largest share of this total—$35.2
billion—represents Federal transfers of purchasing power to individuals
through such payments as old-age, survivors, and disability insurance
benefits, unemployment compensation, and veterans pensions. Transfer payments have a significant impact on the Nation's economy
because they add to the income of millions of individuals and families
and quickly find their way into the Nation's spending stream through
private (rather than governmental) use of real resources.
Grants-in-aid to State and local governments are a major factor in
the cooperative financing of such essential services as public assistance,
public health, education, and highways and other forms of transportation. These payments are estimated to be $13.0 billion in 1966.

Federal expenditures of an investment nature.—Federal expenditures for investment in physical and human resources are
essential for achieving a higher rate of future economic growth. These
expenditures contribute directly to an expansion of the Nation's
capacity to produce goods and services. Of the total Federal cash
payments to the public estimated for 1966, about $14.9 billion or
11.7% are for activities (outside of defense and space) which—directly
or indirectly—will increase physical assets and otherwise promote productivity and economic growth. Considering only payments other
than those for defense or space programs, 21.3% of payments will
represent investments of this nature.

Additions to Federal Assets - Other Than Defense and Space

Of the $69.8 billion of estimated 1966 outlays for purposes other
than defense and space, a sizable amount is for additions to such
Federal assets as civil public works and major equipment and other
physical assets. The Federal Government also makes large gross
disbursements for housing, farm, small business, and other loans.
In 1966, these disbursements will be largely offset by loan repayments
and sales of mortgages and other financial assets. Another large part
of administrative budget and trust outlays for programs other than
defense and space represents grants for State, local, and private
physical assets—such as highways, schools, hospitals, conservation
projects, and other physical facilities.
The remaining part of nondefense and nonspace investment outlays
proposed for 1966 is for investment in human resources and natural
resource surveys. This includes $3.8 billion for such activities as
education, training, and health and $1.8 billion for scientific research
and development. No less important than physical assets, these outlays represent an investment in the future progress of the Nation by
increasing knowledge, developing skills, and strengthening our scientific and technological resources.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

67

During fiscal year 1966, the Federal Government will also spend
about $8.1 billion for defense research and development, including
the atomic energy program, and $4.7 billion for space research and
development. In the long run, many of these outlays will contribute
to the technological development and economic growth of our country.
Federal expenditures and the balance of payments.—During
calendar year 1964, the Nation's balance of payments deficit declined
significantly. An important factor in this encouraging result was the
continued expansion of our exports, reflecting the price stability of
U.S. products and the positive private response to the Government's
export expansion program. In addition, the interest equalization tax
on foreign securities enacted by the 88th Congress has helped to hold
down private capital outflows.
The Federal Government will continue to reduce the adverse
effect of its own activities on the balance of payments. Actions being
taken include:
(1) Particularly close control and reduction of proposed agency
activities which result in overseas payments.
(2) Special arrangements to maximize Federal Government receipts
from overseas, including agreements with certain of our European
allies for sharing the costs of collective defenses.
(3) Continued efforts to insure that foreign assistance expenditures
are used for purchasing goods in the United States to the maximum
feasible extent.
(4) Sale of special nonmarketable, medium-term Treasury securities
to foreign central banks.
(5) Development of policies and procedures to insure that foreign
currencies owned by the United States are used in the most advantageous way possible.
These and other efforts have significantly decreased the net balance
of payments outflow associated with Government programs. This
outflow is estimated to decrease by almost $1 billion from 1963 to 1966.
Federal payments overseas dropped by over $500 million from 1963
to 1964. The 1964 level is expected to be maintained in 1965 and
1966, despite rising prices overseas and continued substantial U.S.
responsibilities abroad.
Regular receipts of the Federal Government from foreign countries
are expected to increase by more than $400 million between 1963 and
1966. (These figures exclude special receipts of a nonrecurring nature
such as prepayments of loans, sales of nonmarketable medium-term
securities, and advances received on military exports.)

NATIONAL DEFENSE
Through determined efforts in the past 4 years, our national defense
establishment has been brought to a level of commanding superiority.
These efforts have been expensive, b u t they have also been productive.
We have largely completed a buildup of the world's most powerful
military establishment, and our balanced forces are clearly superior to
those of any potential aggressor. This superiority will be maintained
in the future.

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

69

Partly because of the investments already made and partly because
of substantial economies flowing from cost reduction efforts and
improved management procedures, expenditures for national defense
programs are estimated to continue to decline in 1966. The estimated
$52.5 billion of outlays in 1966 will be $0.3 billion less than in 1965,
and $2.0 billion lower than in 1964. In addition to the military
functions of the Department of Defense, these estimates include
outlays for military assistance to our allies, for the Atomic Energy
Commission, and for various other activities which directly support
the defense effort.
Barring a significant change in the threats which face us, it should be
possible to maintain the necessary forces, make selective improvements, and conduct a vigorous program of research and development
without increasing defense outlays each year.
Department of Defense.—-Expenditures of the Department of
Defense for military functions are estimated at $47.9 billion in 1966,
$200 million less than the current year. New obligational authority
of $47.4 billion is proposed for the Department, compared with $48.7
billion for the current year.
The 1966 budget provides for further improvements in military
strength and the development of new weapons although expenditures
are being reduced. This will be possible because: (1) we have largely
completed the buildup which was needed to achieve our present high
state of readiness; (2) less effective and less economical forces—such as
the early missiles and older manned bombers—are being phased out
promptly; and (3) the Department's cost reduction program is
producing increasing economies. In fiscal year 1964, savings achieved
under this program totaled over $2.8 billion, compared with the
original goal of $1.5 billion for that year. Further measures this year
and in 1966—such as the recently announced consolidation, reduction,
or discontinuance of 95 installations—are expected ultimately to
raise the rate of annual savings to well over the current goal of $4.8
billion.
The following table shows, on a selected basis, the force structure
to be supported by this budget:

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

Total obligational availability for the major military programs is
summarized in the following table. Total obligational availability
includes new obligational authority granted each year by the Congress, plus the obligational authority granted in prior years which is
not required to complete prior year programs. The amounts are
shown by major program—a concept, introduced into defense planning in 1961, which involves the grouping of all forces, regardless of
military service, according to major military mission.

Strategic retaliatory forces.—The basic objective of our strategic
retaliatory forces is to deter aggression against the United States and
its allies. To achieve this objective, these forces must be sufficient
to insure the destruction of any aggressor, even if the United States
is forced to absorb an initial surprise attack. In addition, they
should be able to limit further damage to this country and its allies
by destroying enemy strategic forces remaining after the first strike.
The force levels achieved and recommended are designed to fulfill
these tasks.
The strategic forces now include :
• Over 850 operational intercontinental ballistic missiles deployed
on launchers, mostly in hardened and dispersed silos.
• More than 900 long-range bombers (including over 450 on 15minute alert), many of which are equipped with air-to-surface missiles and penetration aids to help them reach their targets.
• Twenty-two Polaris submarines, each able to carry 16 nuclear
missiles. In addition, 19 more of these submarines are in commission preparing for initial deployment, or are under construction.




72

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

The 1966 budget will provide for extensive strengthening of these
forces. Additional Polaris A-3 missiles and a number of our latest
strategic missile, Minuteman II, will become operational in fiscal
year 1966, extending the range, accuracy, and striking power of the
strategic forces. Moreover, procurement of these missiles to replace
older models will continue. The budget also provides for the development of a new submarine-launched ballistic missile, Poseidon, which
will have double the payload of the Polaris A-3.
An extensive program of modifications to improve the capabilities
and extend the life of most of the existing B-52 fleet will be continued.
Provision is also made for the development of engines and other subsystems for advanced strategic aircraft and for continued studies on
possible future manned bombers. The 1966 budget continues the
procurement and deployment of the SR-71—a high-speed, highaltitude intercontinental strategic reconnaissance aircraft which will
enter the active forces this year—and provides for development of a
completely new short-range, air-to-surface attack missile.
Because of the strength which has been achieved and because of the
additional Minuteman and Polaris missiles entering the active forces,
it is now possible to reduce older, more costly, and vulnerable elements
of our strategic forces. As a result: (1) all the Atlas and the older
Titan I missiles will be retired this year; (2) the remainder of the
B-47 force will be phased out during 1966, as previously scheduled;
and (3) two squadrons of the earliest version of the B-52 bomber
will be eliminated by the end of fiscal year 1966. Savings from
these actions are reflected in the reduction of $0.8 billion in 1966
total obligational availability now estimated for the strategic retaliatory program.
Continental air and missile defense forces.—Our strategic defense
forces include interceptor aircraft, surface-to-air missiles, and warning
and control systems designed to defend against manned bomber or
missile attack, and the civil defense program.
The major strategic threat to the United States today is a surprise
missile attack. The present air defense forces—including interceptors,
missiles, radars, and control centers—are designed only to defend
against bombers and therefore are becoming less capable of limiting
damage from combined missile and bomber attacks. For this reason,
we will continue to reduce these forces in 1966, when a number of
older National Guard interceptors will be replaced by newer aircraft transferred from the active forces. Also, studies indicate that
certain of the present radars in the force can be eliminated without
compromising either military air defense or civilian air traffic control.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

73

Although the manned bomber threat is declining, it is always
possible that this decline could be reversed. To be prepared for such
a contingency, the 1966 budget provides for continued study and
test of the improved mach-3 interceptor aircraft which is already
flying, as well as other interceptor concepts and for further improvements of ground control systems for our air defense forces.
Increased funds are being recommended for 1966 for the Nike-X
antimissile system, in order to continue development work on a
priority basis. In addition, research will continue on even more
advanced components of antimissile defense. The budget also provides for the continued development and installation of over-thehorizon radar warning systems able to detect missiles and aircraft in
flight beyond the range of conventional radar, as well as for continued
operation and improvement of an antisatellite defense system.
The civil defense program is another important element of our total
continental defense effort. Its central objective is a nationwide
fallout shelter program to reduce significantly the casualties among our
population in the event of nuclear attack.
In 1966, emphasis will be given to improvements in ventilation
techniques in order to increase the number of persons who can be
accommodated in shelters. Management assistance to communities
for shelter planning and assignment will be continued. The nationwide fallout shelter survey will also continue, and a program to increase
the total inventory of shelters through a survey of smaller structures
will be started. Procurement of provisions for shelters, training and
education programs for emergency preparedness, developmental work
on indoor warning systems, and distribution of radiological monitoring
devices will continue.
The 1966 program also provides for seven protected Federal regional
centers from which emergency operations can be directed.
Total obligational availability needed in 1966 for continental
defense programs is estimated to be $1.8 billion, about the same as
in the current year.
General purpose forces.—The strengthening of our strategic deterrent
forces has been accompanied by a major improvement in the forces
needed to cope with the various forms of lesser conflict. Critical
deficiencies which previously existed in the ground, sea, and air forces
designed for limited war have now been largely eliminated. Provision
has been made for increased stocks of weapons, equipment, and ammunition. This buildup now makes it possible to emphasize improvements in the quality and mobility of the general purpose forces.
Total obligational availability required for this program in 1966 is
estimated to be $19 billion, compared with $18.1 billion in 1965.




74

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

These funds will maintain the 16 active Army divisions and 3 active
Marine Corps division-wing teams, plus their supporting elements.
Additional modern equipment will be added, including surface-tosurface missiles, combat vehicles, and aircraft. Army testing of
experimental air assault concepts will be completed during the current
year, and the authorization for the additional 15,000 personnel used in
these tests will not be required during 1966.
The 1966 Navy general purpose program provides for initiating the
procurement of 641 aircraft and 64 new or converted ships. Emphasis
will be placed on long-range patrol aircraft, destroyer escorts, and
nuclear submarines for antisubmarine warfare. Twenty antisubmarine ships will be constructed or converted, and procurement of the
P-3A long-range patrol aircraft and modern torpedoes and sonars
will be continued. Fleet amphibious forces will also be improved in
1966 with construction of 15 assault ships and construction of 4 mine
warfare vessels and the conversion of 1 other. Eight fleet supply and
support ships, 3 guided missile ship conversions, and 12 patrol craft
are also included. Carrier forces will be improved by a major conversion and modernization of an older attack carrier.
To maintain the present superiority of our modern tactical fighter
forces, the 1966 budget provides for further procurement of modern
and improved F-4 aircraft for the Air Force and Navy. Development of the F - l l l tactical fighter aircraft will continue and the first
large-scale procurement of this aircraft and of the Navy A-7 attack
aircraft will be funded in 1966. When the F - l l l is operational in
1967, this versatile, long-range fighter will improve greatly our ability to deploy tactical airpower worldwide. Air Force tactical forces
will increase from 112 squadrons at the end of fiscal year 1964 to 119
squadrons in 1966. Protection of these forces will be improved
through initiation in 1966 of a program for construction of overseas
aircraft shelters.
Airlift and sealift forces.—The 1966 budget provides funds for further improvement of the air and sea forces on which the rapid deployment of the Armed Forces depends. Total obligational availability
in 1966 is estimated to be $0.1 billion more than in the current year.
Provision is made for continued procurement of the C-141 jet transport and for development of the C-5A, an aircraft able to carry
large loads very economically and land on relatively short airfields.
This plane will have the largest cargo capacity of any aircraft ever
built.
The significant increases in airlift capability resulting from these
new aircraft will permit a reduction, beginning in fiscal year 1966,
of the older and less effective airlift aircraft in the active and reserve
forces.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

75

To improve further our ability to make speedy and effective response
to limited aggression, the budget also provides for construction of
four new fast deployment, logistic ships designed for rapid loading and
unloading of large amounts of military equipment. These ships,
which are not intended for normal cargo carrying duties, will be
deployed in forward areas. In addition, funds are provided for
modification of 14 more Victory ships to serve as forward floating
depots for storage of military equipment near potential trouble spots.
Exercises involving the rapid movement of large military forces
will be continued in 1966 to develop further the operating techniques
needed to take full advantage of increases in mobility.
Reserve Forces.—In 1966, total obligational availability required to
support the reserve components of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Air Force, is estimated at $0.1 billion less than in 1965.
The 1966 request anticipates a major realignment of the Army's
reserve components in which all organized units will be placed under
the National Guard. Under the realignment, the number of units
will be reduced, but all remaining units will be adequately manned.
In addition, these units will be provided with their full complement of
weapons and equipment. These measures will significantly increase
the combat power and readiness of the Army reserve components.
The realignment schedule visualizes a reduction in paid drill training
strength by the end of 1966 to 575,000—80,000 below that presently
estimated for the end of 1965. Ultimately, the paid drill strength
of the reorganized National Guard will number 550,000. In the
future, the Army Reserve will consist entirely of individuals forming replacement pools or holding specific mobilization assignments.
Reduced personnel costs resulting from the realignment will be
partially offset by increased procurement of modern weapons and
equipment.
Research and development.—Most of the Department's research and
development effort is included in this program; amounts for development of systems which have already been approved for procurement
are included in appropriate mission-oriented programs. Total
obligational availability for research and development in 1966 is
estimated at $5.4 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion over 1965.
Because of the growing number of weapons systems which have
passed the full-scale development stage, greater stress is now being
placed on improving these systems and on developing advanced
components which can be used in the future in a number of different
weapons systems such as strategic and tactical aircraft and ballistic
missiles.




76

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Increasing support will be given to:
(1) General programs of research to lay the groundwork for future
weapons technology;
(2) Antisubmarine warfare systems, including new sonars and
torpedoes; and
(3) A number of tactical weapons, such as the main battle tank
being developed jointly with the Federal Republic of Germany, certain
counterinsurgency weapons, and a new lightweight anti-tank missile.
Other programs supported by the budget include development of
night vision devices, an advanced anti-radar missile, undersea vehicles
for rescue operations and underwater research, vertical takeoff and
landing aircraft engines, and further work on exploration of potential
uses of light amplification (Laser) technology.
To promote our defense capabilities in space, research on reentry
and recovery of spacecraft will be accelerated, outlays for the Titan
III space booster will continue at a high level, and development of the
initial Defense Communications Satellite System will continue. Funds
are also included for moving ahead with the manned orbiting laboratory program. This program will take advantage of experience and
equipment developed in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration manned space flight program and will be planned and
carried out in close coordination with NASA.
General support.—This program includes all elements that are not
directly or uniquely related to any of the other programs but which
provide essential support to them. Such functions as intelligence,
communications, command and control, and support of nuclear
weapons programs are included, along with training and education,
family housing, medical services, logistic support, and other Department-wide activities. Total obligational availability required for
these functions in 1966 is estimated at $14.6 billion, compared with
$14.3 billion in 1965.
To reduce further the large deficiency in military family housing,
the 1966 budget provides for construction of 12,500 housing units,
4,250 more than were approved for 1965.
Emphasis is also placed on improving communications. The Department is establishing two major worldwide automatic communications systems which will become the backbone of the newly established
National Communications System. They will not only greatly improve emergency communications capabilities but will also yield significant manpower and operating economies over previous methods.
Military assistance.—The military assistance program is an
essential component of our overall national security effort. It is
based on the principle of the collective security of the United States
and the rest of the free world. Under this principle, our own security




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

77

planning and the structure of our forces continue to be influenced by
the contribution of our allies to the collective defense.
Nearly three-quarters of the military assistance provided in 1966
will go to 11 countries which form an arc around the southern and
eastern flanks of the Sino-Soviet bloc—Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan,
India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, and the Republics
of China and Korea. These nations are not yet able to support
fully their own forces, but they maintain 3% million men under arms.
By helping them maintain these forces, we reduce greatly our own
manpower requirements and costs which we would otherwise have
to bear.
In Africa and Latin America, our military assistance effort is aimed
primarily at equipping and training armed forces to maintain internal
security and to perform civic action projects, which provide training
but also contribute to economic development.
In 1966, military assistance expenditures are estimated to be
$100 million less than in the current year, although new obligational
authority required for this program will increase by $115 million.
National Defense as a Percent of Federal Payments

Atomic energy activities.—Expenditures by the Atomic Energy
Commission in 1966 are estimated to be $2.5 billion, down $170
million from 1965. The decreases from 1965 will result from such
factors as a $55 million reduction in the procurement of uranium
concentrates and a lower production level for enriched uranium and
plutonium. In addition, fewer construction projects in support of




78

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

research and development programs and less equipment procurement
will reduce expenditures by $75 million. These decreases more than
offset increases in some research and development programs for the
peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Nuclear weapons.—Expenditures for the development and production of nuclear weapons in 1966 will decrease by $19 million from
1965 levels, reflecting the significant quantities of weapons stockpiled
in recent years. Achievement in 1965 of the capability to resume
atmospheric testing in the event of violation by others of the limited
nuclear test ban treaty will make possible a decline of $29 million in
test program expenditures in 1966. In a joint Defense-AEC program,
work will continue on development and underground testing of nuclear
weapons, on maintenance of readiness for atmospheric testing, and
on improved detection and identification capabilities.
Peaceful uses of nuclear energy.—Expenditures in 1966 for the development of civilian nuclear power are estimated at $214 million, a
decrease of $5 million from 1965. Continued emphasis will be given
to the development of reactors which produce significantly more fuel
than they consume ("high-gain breeders") as the long-range objective
for civilian power reactors. To meet shorter term needs, reactors
which substantially improve the use of nuclear fuels (advanced converters and 'low-gain breeders") are being developed on a selective
basis. Construction of two different types of reactors in this category
by non-Federal groups will proceed in 1966 with Atomic Energy Commission assistance; research and development will be pursued on a
third type. These increases will be more than offset by reductions
elsewhere, including work on other advanced converters and on established types of light-water reactors.
Development of nuclear energy uses in space exploration will continue in 1966. The SNAP program to develop compact nuclear
electric power units will focus on promising units fueled by radioisotopes and on the technology, fabrication, and testing of reactorpowered units. The Rover program to develop nuclear rockets, being
pursued jointly with the National, Aeronautics and Space Administration, will continue to be directed toward ground-based research and
engineering.
Basic research in the physical and biomedical sciences related to
nuclear energy will continue to grow. Highly selective improvements
and additions to existing major facilities will be initiated. These
additions include construction, at Argonne Laboratory in the Middle
West, of the world's largest bubble chamber. This device will enable
scientists to observe and analyze the interactions of subatomic
particles and thus explore more intensively the ultimate composition
of matter.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

79

Work on the peaceful application of nuclear explosives (Project
Plowshare) in 1966 will be directed toward the development of
suitable nuclear devices, experiments in excavation technology, and
the use of nuclear explosives for the production and study of the very
heavy elements.
Defense-related activities.—Expenditures for the various defenserelated functions of agencies other than the Department of Defense
and the Atomic Energy Commission are estimated to decrease by
$112 million in 1966. This decrease is primarily attributable to a
reduction of over $100 million in interest payments to the Treasury
on Defense Production Act loans outstanding. (Miscellaneous
receipts of the Treasury will be reduced by a corresponding amount.)
Inductions into the Armed Forces handled by the Selective Service
System are estimated to increase from 95,000 in 1965 to 125,000 in
1966. The Armed Forces will examine an estimated 1 million volunteers and Selective Service inductees in 1966. In addition, 645,000
18-year-olds will be referred for medical and mental testing under
the special Selective Service program initiated last year. Those who
fail to meet the minimum standards for admittance into the Army
will be referred to local agencies for employment, health, training,
and vocational rehabilitation services.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND FINANCE
Through its international activities, the Federal Government remains alert and responsive to developments in a rapidly changing
world. In pursuit of the objectives of world peace, stability, and
prosperity, the United States participates in international organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization of American
States. It increases mutual understanding through worldwide information and exchange activities. It pursues negotiations affecting a
wide spectrum of problems—from the reduction of armaments to the
liberalization of world trade and commerce. It builds for the future
by encouraging economic and social progress in the developing nations,
and it helps to avert immediate dangers to peace by providing economic
as well as military assistance to threatened countries.
New obligational authority of $5.1 billion is requested for international affairs and finance activities for 1966, a decrease of about
$1.6 billion from 1965. Administrative budget expenditures for these
activities are estimated to be $4.0 billion in 1966, $59 million less
than in 1965.
Conduct of foreign affairs.—The Department of State has primary responsibility for a wide array of activities required to conduct
the Nation's foreign affairs. To fulfill its responsibilities, it must

diplomatic and consular posts will be opened in 1966, reflecting the
forthcoming independence of new nations and the implementation
of a new consular convention with the U.S.S.R.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

81

Workloads will continue to increase in other areas as well. For
example, more Americans will be traveling abroad in 1966, resulting
in an estimated 1,320,000 applications for passports—a 10% increase
over 1965. Travel of foreigners to the United States will also continue to grow. The budget anticipates that 1,365,000 nonimmigrant
visas will be issued—14% over 1965. Additional commercial staff
will be required to deal with increased workloads, including the
promotion of U.S. exports. Improved communications to support the
Foreign Service and enhanced security measures at posts abroad are
also provided for.
In addition, the budget includes funds for the expenses of U.S.
membership in the United Nations and other international organizations. Our participation in and support of these bodies are important
to our quest for international peace, security, and cooperation.
All these activities of the Department of State will require expenditures of $306 million in 1966, $10 million more than in 1965.
The United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency will
expand its staff and contract research efforts in 1966 to formulate
new U.S. approaches toward controlling and reducing arms and
lessening the risk of war, and to support U.S. participation in international disarmament meetings.
Agency for International
Development.—The
Agency for
International Development administers and coordinates economic
assistance programs in less developed countries where political
stability, resistance to aggression, or economic and social progress
are important to the foreign policy objectives of the United States.
In those countries which are working to achieve economic growth and
stability through concentrated self-help and self-discipline, the United
States is supplementing local resources with long-term loans and technical and supporting assistance. In 1966, expenditures for all AID activities are estimated to total $2.1 billion, an increase of $50 million
over 1965.
New obligational authority of $2.2 billion is being requested for
1966, about the same as the 1965 amount. This request covers only
the most urgent requirements. It reflects a continuing effort to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of our assistance programs.
An increasing proportion—now over 80%—of U.S. commitments
for economic assistance programs is directly tied to the purchase of
goods and services in the United States. In this way, any adverse
effect of our assistance program on the U.S. balance of international
payments is minimized. In addition, the long-term growth of U.S.
exports is stimulated through the development of new trade patterns
and opportunities.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Development loans and technical cooperation.—Most expenditures for
development assistance are in the form of long-term loans, repayable
in dollars. Expenditures for these loans are estimated to total $870
million in 1966, slightly more than in 1965. This total excludes loans
under the Alliance for Progress, which is discussed separately.
This assistance is concentrated in relatively few developing countries
to finance the dollar costs of capital projects and/or critical imports
upon which economic growth depends. India, Pakistan, and Turkey
are the major recipients.
In these and other major countries, U.S. financial help is part of a
systematic program of modernization carried out in accordance with
a development plan. This help usually represents an agreed-upon
U.S. share of the total amount of assistance provided by most of the
major industrial countries of the free world. Where comprehensive
development plans have not yet been formulated and approved,
lending is normally undertaken only for specific projects, each of
which is carefully reviewed in terms of its technical soundness and its
relative contribution to overall growth.
In most countries, dollar loans—to be effective—must be complemented by technical cooperation. The United States meets this need
through grants for part of the costs of furnishing U.S. advisers who
can bring American experience and technical skills to bear on the
various complex problems of economic development. Expenditures
for such grants are expected to amount to $205 million in 1966, $15
million more than in 1965.
Alliance for Progress.—Through the Alliance for Progress, the
United States is working with the Latin American nations in a special
effort to achieve the economic and social reforms required to accelerate
economic growth. U.S. participation in these efforts involves primarily development loans and technical assistance.
This budget includes new obligational authority of $580 million for
1966 for the Alliance for Progress activities of the Agency for International Development; expenditures in 1966 are estimated at $398
million, an increase of $33 million over 1965. Other important
Alliance activities will be carried out through the Inter-American
Development Bank, the Export-Import Bank, the Food for Peace
Program, and the Peace Corps.
Other AID programs.—In some cases, the United States provides
supporting assistance grants and loans to counter immediate threats
to political and economic stability which, in turn, pose danger to free
world security. The number of countries in which such financing is
necessary has declined sharply in recent years, but there continue to
be urgent requirements in the Far East—primarily in Vietnam. Ex-




83

penditures for supporting assistance are estimated to rise to $390
million in 1966 from $370 million in 1965.
The United States makes substantial contributions to programs of
international organizations which complement our bilateral aid efforts.
These programs range from general development assistance operations,
such as those of the United Nations Special Fund, to specific activities,
such as the Indus Basin Development program administered by the
World Bank.

AID programs for guaranteeing private investment abroad are
encouraging increased participation by the American business community in the developing countries. To accelerate this trend,
legislation is recommended to increase substantially the authority to
extend these guarantees. The value of guarantees outstanding is
expected to rise in 1966 to a total of $4 billion, about $1 billion more
than in 1965.
Other economic and financial programs.—New obligational
authority of $456 million is requested for 1966 to strengthen the
Alliance for Progress through expansion of the resources and activities
of the Inter-American Development Bank. This total includes a
request for $206 million in new obligational authority to provide the
second and final installment of a $412 million increase in the U.S.
subscription of callable capital held in reserve in the U.S. Treasury
against Bank borrowing in private capital markets. No expenditure
of these funds is contemplated. Under proposed legislation to expand
the Bank's long-term lending financed by member governments, new




84

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

obligational authority of $250 million is being requested in both 1965
and 1966; a similar amount will be requested for 1967.
New obligational authority of $104 million is requested for 1966 to
finance the first installment of the 3-year, $312 million increase in the
U.S. subscription to the International Development Association
approved during the last session of Congress. This Association is an
affiliate of the World Bank, established to make loans on easier terms
than regular Bank loans.
The member nations of the International Monetary Fund are
considering strengthening this institution through an increase in the
quotas of all members. • Completion of the discussions involved is
expected shortly, and legislation will be promptly recommended to
authorize the U.S. share of this increase. The budget includes
new obligational authority of $1 billion for 1965 for this purpose.
The Export-Import Bank is continuing its efforts to expand U.S.
exports. The Bank's successful insurance and guarantee programs—undertaken in cooperation with insurance companies and commercial
banks—will protect more than $1.5 billion of U.S. exports against
both political and commercial risks by the end of 1966. Direct loans
to foreign borrowers are also expected to increase, thereby developing
markets for U.S. products and providing U.S. capital equipment for
projects around the world. Sales to private buyers of certificates of
participation in the Bank's portfolio will contribute to an estimated
net excess of Bank receipts over expenditures of $480 million in 1966.
The continuing success of the Peace Corps is expected to result in
increased demand from foreign nations for the services of volunteers,
as well as increased interest from qualified Americans. Peace Corps
programs are anticipated in 46 countries in 1966, and the number of
volunteers and trainees is expected to rise from 15,000 in 1965 to
17,000 by the end of 1966. This will require an estimated increase
of $25 million in expenditures.
Food for Peace.—The Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954 (Public Law 480) is the foundation of the Food
for Peace program, through which U.S. agricultural surpluses are
made available to help feed hungry people and contribute to economic
development abroad.
About two-thirds of the Food for Peace program consists of sales of
commodities to foreign nations for their own currencies. To the extent
possible, these currencies are then used in the recipient countries to
pay U.S. obligations, to finance loans to U.S. private enterprise, and
to support local development projects. Almost all of these currencies
are inconvertible, and considerable balances have developed in a
number of countries. In an effort to improve our ability to make
more effective use of these currencies, a special foreign currency




85

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

authorization is proposed permitting the President to use up to 5 % of
such currencies in each of those countries in which U.S. balances are
in excess of regular U.S. needs. These funds will be used for additional worthwhile purposes serving U.S. national interests, and annual
reports will be made to the Congress on these uses.
Other aspects of the Food for Peace program provide grants of food
abroad and long-term credit sales for dollars.

Expenditures for Food for Peace are estimated at $1,661 million
in 1966, the same as in 1965. The total volume of commodities shipped
is expected to remain approximately at 1965 levels. The decline in
expenditures for the foreign currency sales program reflects in part
lower ocean transportation payments. Under legislation passed last
year, these payments will cover only additional costs resulting from
the use of U.S. vessels.
Disposal of commodities abroad through private welfare agencies,
as authorized by section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as
amended, is sometimes treated as a part of the Food for Peace effort.
Expenditures for this program, which are classified under agriculture
and agricultural resources, are estimated at $179 million in 1966.
Foreign information and exchange activities.—The Department of State and the United States Information Agency work together to develop improved mutual understanding with other peoples.
Expenditures for educational and cultural exchange activities of
the Department of State will increase as a result of measures to improve the quality and effectiveness of these activities. Most of the
increase in new obligational authority is requested to substitute for
a decline in U.S.-owned foreign currencies available for the program.
The increase will also provide for travel of dependents of certain
American teachers and professors sent abroad and for special services
for non-U.S. Government-sponsored foreign students in this country.
The United States Information Agency will reallocate its resources
in order to improve the quality of its information activities while

reducing costs. This will permit reductions in both expenditures and
employment in 1966. Under this reallocation, decreases in trade fair
exhibitions and the Western European program will permit greater
worldwide motion picture and television efforts as well as further
buildup in the African program. The 1966 estimate for new obligational authority includes $13 million to complete an important Voice
of America radio transmitting facility in the Far East.
SPACE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
The principal objectives of the programs of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration are to extend man's knowledge and use of
space. The budget provides for a broad-based, balanced program of
space activity, utilizing both manned and unmanned flight systems
and supported by extensive ground-based research. These activities
will not only contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge
and our immediate objectives in space exploration but will also provide
the foundation for future progress in space and new technology with
civilian and military applications.
The largest and most costly single effort in the space program is
directed toward the achievement of a manned lunar landing within
this decade. This effort serves as a focus for the development of the
vehicles, facilities, and experience that will be required for future

space operations. The program also emphasizes scientific experiments
and probes by unmanned spacecraft, the advancement of spacecraft
technology for meteorology and other applications, and research and
development needed to support these space efforts and the Nation's
aeronautical activities.
New obligational authority of $5.3 billion is recommended for the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration for 1966, virtually the
same amount as enacted for 1965. In recent years, the very rapid
development of our space effort has required large annual increases in
appropriations. Through prudent management and the termination
of premature or non-essential projects, it is now possible to maintain
the momentum of our ongoing programs and to start important new
projects without a further significant increase in new obligational
authority for 1966.
Expenditures for the space program in 1966 are estimated at $5.1
billion, an increase of $200 million over the estimate for 1965. This
compares with average annual increases of over $1 billion during the
previous 4-year period. The increase in 1966 is mainly for payments
for equipment and services contracted for in prior years.
Manned space flight.—Manned space flight activities continue to
absorb about two-thirds of the budget of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration. The huge Saturn V launch vehicle, the
Apollo spacecraft, and supporting programs required for a manned
lunar landing will also provide the broad technological capability for
engaging in other space activities in the years ahead.
Manned flights of the two-man Gemini spacecraft will be conducted
during fiscal year 1966 to. provide essential space flight experience
and to continue the training of astronauts.
The Saturn I rocket has successfully flown seven times in seven
attempts. This rocket will be used to boost into orbit large spacecraft
to measure the concentration of small meteoroid particles in space.
The information gained from these experiments will contribute to the
design of the Apollo spacecraft. By the end of fiscal year 1966, the
more powerful Saturn IB rockets will have completed initial test flights
in preparation for launching the manned Apollo spacecraft on earth
orbital flights. Ground tests of all stages of the Saturn V will also
be well underway.
Funds are provided in 1966 for studies and selected technological
developments which will prepare the way for a future decision on
possible uses of the Apollo spacecraft and Saturn launch vehicles
other than those specifically required for the manned lunar landing.




THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Scientific investigations in space.—Funds are included in this
budget to initiate development of the Voyager, a major new unmanned
spacecraft designed to explore the planet Mars. This spacecraft will
be 10 to 15 times as large as the Mariner 4 which is currently in
transit to Mars. Its ultimate mission will be to place on the Martian
surface an instrument package capable of determining and reporting
to earth whether there is life on that planet. This program has
been selected for initiation in 1966 because it is considered to be
one of the most important scientific missions to be undertaken in
space and must be timed for the most favorable flight conditions.
It is planned to take advantage of the opportunity that will occur in
1971.
Funds are also recommended to continue unmanned investigation
of the moon preparatory to manned exploration. These investigations will be conducted by the Surveyor spacecraft, which will land on
the moon and relay to earth pictures and measurements of the lunar
surface, and the Lunar Orbiter, which will be equipped to transmit
clear pictures of the surface from a low orbit around the moon.
Scientific investigations and measurements of the space environment
near the earth will continue to be made by large geophysical, astronomical, and solar observatory satellites, as well as the smaller and
more specialized Explorer satellites and Pioneer space probes.
Meteorology', communications,
and other space applications.—An additional Tiros spacecraft will be launched in 1966 to
experiment with new techniques for making meteorological observations from satellites. Development will continue on experiments
involving the larger Nimbus and other satellites.
Development of the Applications Technology Satellite will be continued in 1966. This satellite is to be used for experiments related to
a variety of space applications—such as communications, meteorology,
and space science.
Other research, technology, and supporting
operations.—The
supporting programs on which space operations and long-term
improvements in space capabilities depend will continue in 1966.
These programs include advanced research and development in space




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

technology and aeronautics, operation of the NASA worldwide tracking system, and support of college and university programs in the space
sciences, including the training of candidates for advanced degrees.
AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
One result of the great strides made in increasing the efficiency
of American agriculture has been a progressive reduction in the
number of people needed in farming. Today, much more capital,
less cropland, and much less labor is required to produce a given
output of farm commodities than even a decade ago.
The Nation as a whole has benefited greatly from the shift of the
manpower no longer needed in agriculture to non-agricultural employment. But the shift of manpower has not kept up with the growth of
farm productivity. The difficulty of making the transition to new
occupations is reflected in the large number of low-income families in
rural areas today.
With the help of the Federal Government's farm commodity
programs, some of the larger and more efficient farmers are now
receiving rates of return for their labor, capital, and management
nearly comparable with the rates received in other parts of the
economy. But in view of the market outlook for farm commodities
at home and abroad, farming alone cannot be expected to provide a
decent living in the future for more than about one million farm
families, even with continued Government assistance. Many lowincome farm families will have to find other ways of earning a living,
or other sources of income to supplement their modest farm earnings,
if they are to share more fully in our national prosperity. Recognition
of this situation underlies the increased emphasis in this budget on
providing better economic opportunities not only for low-income farm
families but for all low-income people who live in rural areas.
Payments to the public for agricultural programs in 1966 are
estimated at $4.1 billion, down $537 million from 1965. The reduction reflects mainly (1) an expected decline in expenditures for
the farm income support programs financed by the Commodity Credit
Corporation and (2) proposed legislation which will reduce expenditures for the Farmers Home Administration and the Rural Electrification Administration.

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

91

Improving rural economic opportunities.—The new programs
being undertaken through the Office of Economic Opportunity will
benefit the rural economy and rural areas. As an additional important
step in improving rural living conditions, legislation is being proposed
to authorize an insured rural housing loan program for 1966 which
will provide up to $350 million in insured loans. This program will
promote more and better housing for people in rural areas at a cost
within their means.
To increase the effectiveness of Federal programs to combat rural
poverty, the budget recommends additional funds in 1966 to permit the
Rural Community Development Service (formerly the Offic^ of Rural
Areas Development) to establish small offices in 20 additional States.
These offices will enable the Department of Agriculture to provide
information to other Federal agencies and to serve as a focal point for
information and advice to local communities. The budget also
provides for additional personnel in the Extension Service to participate in this program. These expanded services will supplement
those of other Federal agencies.
Farm income stabilization.—Expenditures
in 1966 for farm
income stabilization, estimated at $2.7 billion, are $387 million less
than in the fiscal year 1965. The principal decreases result from
(1) a change in the timing of feed grain acreage diversion payments;
(2) reduced price support loan levels for feed grains, cotton, and rice;
and (3) an expected lower volume of tobacco production. These
decreases are offset in part by an estimated larger production of feed
grains and soybeans in the 1965 crop year.
The budget reflects a supplemental appropriation of $1,181 million for the fiscal year 1965 to assure that the Commodity Credit
Corporation will have sufficient funds to meet its statutory obligations
under the price support programs.
The legislation on which the current wheat, feed grains, and cotton
programs are based expires in 1965, and the National Wool Act
expires early in 1966. These programs should be continued and
improved.
The Secretary of Agriculture will conduct a comprehensive review
of farm policies in an effort to design programs that will continue the
national benefit from our present highly efficient commercial agriculture, bolster farm income, put less burden on the Federal budget, and
direct more of our effort to the problems of low-income farmers.
Financing rural electrification and rural telephones.—-New
obligational authority is included in the budget to permit the Rural
Electrification Administration to make loan commitments of $300




92

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

million in 1966 for the electrification program and $97 million for the
telephone program. In addition, a contingency reserve of $65 million
is proposed to be made available, if needed, for the electrification and
telephone loan programs. It is expected that the Rural Electrification Administration will put additional emphasis on the negotiation of
reasonable contracts under which REA-financed systems purchase
power from other suppliers. Such contracts will reduce the need
for generation and transmission loans.
The reduced new obligational authority recommended for the
electrification and telephone programs in 1966 assumes early. Enactment of proposed legislation to authorize use of collections on outstanding electrification and telephone loans to help finance new loans,
with continued control through the regular appropriations process.
Under this legislation, estimated collections of $168 million in 1965 and
$177 million in 1966 will be available to help finance the 1966 loan
programs, thereby reducing the amount of new obligational authority
required.
Financing farming and rural housing.—Through the Farmers
Home Administration, both direct Federal loans and insured private
loans are provided to meet special credit needs associated with
farming, rural housing, rural water facilities, and other related rural
problems. The volume of direct and insured loans will be substantially larger in 1966 than in 1965. However, a reduction of $97
million from the 1965 level of expenditures for these programs is
estimated for 1966, reflecting mainly proposed legislation under which
insured private credit will replace most of the direct Federal loans
for the rural housing and farm ownership programs. Provision is
also made in the budget for an expansion of the soil and water loan
program to a level of $80 million in 1966, including direct and insured
loans.
In line with efforts to improve economic and other opportunities of
low-income families, greater emphasis within the existing loan programs is being placed on providing credit and advisory services for
low-income people in rural areas. A grant program to help provide
rental housing for domestic farm labor was authorized late in the last
session of Congress, and expenditures of $5 million are estimated
in 1966.
Agricultural land and water resources.—New obligational
authority recommended for the upstream watershed protection program will permit starting construction on 70 new projects in 1966.
Total expenditures for this program, including continuing work on




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

93

projects underway, are estimated at $71 million in 1966 compared
with $65 million in 1965.
Expenditures in 1966 under the agricultural conservation program
are based on the $220 million authorization enacted by the Congress
for the 1965 program year. New obligational authority of $120
million is proposed for the 1966 program year. This amount will be
adequate to permit the Government to share with farmers the costs
of a substantial number of needed conservation practices that will
have minimal stimulating effects on the output of farm commodities.
The Soil Conservation Service provides technical assistance to aid
farmers in installing conservation practices on their farms. Legislation is being proposed to finance part of the cost of certain of these
services by a user charge, with collections of $20 million estimated
for 1966.
The budget also includes funds for planning and technical assistance
in 10 additional resource conservation and development pilot project
areas. These projects are designed to conserve the resource base in
rural areas and to improve overall resource use.
Research and other agricultural services.—Expenditures in 1966
for research and other agricultural services are estimated at $466
million, down $27 million from 1965. In order to maintain the
vitality of the cooperative Federal and State system of agricultural
research, the budget provides for the construction of new laboratories
and supporting help to enable Federal and State scientists to deal with
such environmental problems as pesticides, toxic molds, and radioactive fallout. Funds are also provided to get underway the meat
animal research center at Clay Center, Nebr., and for construction
of the National Agricultural Library building at Beltsville, Md.
To increase the effectiveness of the research program, direct research
at 15 locations will be discontinued, and grants for university research
will be increased. In addition, certain phases of agricultural research
will be discontinued at other locations.
Continued increases in the production of meat and poultry products
will result in heavier inspection workloads. The number of establishments in which Federal meat inspection is performed is expected
to rise from 1,760 in 1965 to 1,842 in 1966. Since Federal inspection of
meat and poultry adds to the market value of these commodities, the
cost of the inspection should be treated as an element in the cost of
processing them rather than a general charge on taxpayers. Legislation is therefore being proposed to finance directly the full cost of
meat and poultry inspection activities and certain other inspection and
grading activities through a system of user charges. Collections from
these charges are estimated at $57 million in 1966.




94

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

NATURAL RESOURCES
The 1966 budget provides for continued development and use of
the Nation's abundant natural resources. Investments made will
both strengthen and expand our resources base and thus will contribute directly to economic growth. Federal resource programs
are coordinated with and complement developmental efforts by a wide
range of State, local, and private interests.
Payments to the public in 1966 for the conservation and development of natural resources are estimated at $2.9 billion, about the
same as estimated for 1965. Increased expenditures for water resources projects and for land acquisition and development of recreational areas are expected to be offset by various reductions, and by
proposed legislation to revise the method of financing the activities
of the power marketing agencies of the Department of the Interior.
Savings in operating and personnel costs will be effected in 1966 by
the Department of the Interior through closing of some facilities and
consolidation of others and through discontinuing some less urgent
activities.
Land and water resources.—About two-thirds of the total
payments for natural resources programs in 1966 will be for the construction, maintenance, and operation of water resources projects
which provide navigation, flood control, irrigation, water supply, and
related power benefits, as well as recreational facilities.
As our water needs change, our water and related land resource
programs must be adapted to meet these changes. To this end, our
water resource programs will be carefully reviewed to assure that
Federal programs make their maximum contribution to the rapid
growth in urban, industrial, and recreational water requirements.
The budget includes $37 million of new obligational authority for
the Corps of Engineers to start construction on 37 new projects with
an estimated total Federal cost of $777 million. Additional funds
are included to begin advance planning on 19 projects to be constructed in later years and to make economic restudies of 7 other
projects. New obligational authority recommended for the Bureau
of Keclamation provides for 5 new project starts with an estimated
total Federal cost of $103 million and new loans to irrigation districts
for starting 4 small reclamation projects. The Bureau will also
begin advance planning on 3 projects to be constructed in later years.
The recommendations for the Corps of Engineers will advance
development on 21 river basin projects which are subject to monetary
authorization ceilings. If orderly development is to be realized,
it will be necessary for the Congress to increase the authorization
ceilings for 10 of these projects. The budget assumes prompt action
to provide the needed increases.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

The Tennessee Valley Authority will use corporate funds to begin
construction in 1966 of a $150 million steam-power unit with an estimated generating capacity of 1,130,000 kilowatts. First-year expenditures are estimated at $26 million. Appropriations are recommended
for the TVA to start the Tellico multiple-purpose project estimated to
cost $42.5 million, as well as 2 small flood control projects and a navigation project costing $5 million in total. Expenditures on these 4
projects are estimated at $8 million in 1966.
The 1966 budget includes $53 million in new obligational authority
to continue construction of the Federal segment of the Pacific Northwest-Southwest Intertie. This Intertie—the largest electrical transmission system ever undertaken in this country—will benefit 11
Western States. The transmission lines will tie together electric
systems—public and private—from Vancouver, B.C., and Seattle to
Los Angeles and Phoenix. The Intertie is estimated to cost $700
million, of which the Federal share will be nearly $296 million. Benefits of $2.6 billion will be realized over a 50-year period.
Revenues from the sale of power by the Bonneville, Southeastern,
and Southwestern Power Administrations are currently deposited in
miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury. Legislation is recommended
to allow these revenues to be used by these agencies to finance
capital outlays and operating costs, under control through the regular
appropriations process, on a basis consistent with other business
enterprise activities of the Federal Government. The budget reflects
this proposed change for 1966.
Through its wholesale electric rate regulation program, the Federal
Power Commission will assure that economies anticipated by the
National Power Survey will result in reduced rates to wholesale
customers.
The demand for water is increasing steadily throughout the country.
While the overall national supply of water is abundant, shortages in
some sections of the country tend to restrict economic development.
To help relieve these shortages, the Department of the Interior,
through the Office of Saline Water, is making a major effort to advance
the technology of desalting water. The budget, therefore, includes a
supplemental appropriation of $4 million for 1965 and a further appropriation of $29 million for 1966 to expand work leading to the development of desalting technology applicable to a wide range of water supply
problems. The Interior Department's desalting program is being
coordinated with the programs of the Atomic Energy Commission to
develop advanced nuclear reactors which show promise for combined
desalting and electric power applications. The benefits of American
desalting technology will be shared with nations throughout the
world.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

97

Legislation is being proposed to authorize river basin planning
commissions and grants to States for planning the best use of water
resources.
Under the Water Resources Research Act of 1964, Federal grants
will be made to establish water resources research centers in State
colleges or universities; additional grants will be available on a matching basis to support research at these centers. A supplemental appropriation was provided in fiscal year 1965 to enable the Office of Water
Resources Research to start these activities; a further supplemental
of $2.8 million is proposed for 1965 and $6 million is recommended for
the program in 1966.
The budget includes funds to enable the Bureau of Land Management to administer and develop the 175 million acres of public domain
lands in the Western States and the 289 million acres in Alaska—
mostly for grazing, forestry, and mineral leasing—and to administer
the mineral leasing program on the submerged lands of the Outer
Continental Shelf.
Annual revenues from the public domain lands, estimated at $139
million in 1966, are shared with the States and counties. Payments to
States and counties, estimated at $73 million, are included as expenditures under forest and mineral resource activities.
Indian affairs.—-Bureau of Indian Affairs programs are aimed at
raising the economic and social levels of 380,000 American Indians.
Primary emphasis continues to be given to education, which accounts
for two-thirds of Indian program expenditures. In 1966, there will be
4,500 more Indian children attending Federal schools in areas where
local public schools are not available. New school facilities estimated
to cost $57 million are proposed to meet the increase in school-age
population and to replace old facilities in hazardous condition.
Expanded industrial development and vocational training programs
are creating jobs at an increasing rate and helping Indians to learn
the skills necessary for employment. Twenty-five plants established
in 1964, when fully operating, will employ more than 1,500 Indians.
Funds included in the 1966 budget will provide vocational training
for 5,400 Indians. To provide the funds necessary to expand industrial
and tribal enterprise activities, legislation is being proposed to authorize Federal guarantees of loans to Indians by private lenders and to
increase the authorization for the existing direct loan program.
Forest resources.—During 1966/the Forest Service will manage 186
million acres of forest and grasslands. In addition to timber resources, the national forest lands provide recreational, range, and
wildlife resources and watershed benefits. In 1966, the Forest
Service will construct 1,865 miles of general purpose and recreation
roads and timber access roads, as compared with 1,524 miles built in
750-000 0—65




7

98

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

1964. This will permit an estimated 11.4 billion board feet of lumber
to be harvested in 1966.
Two additional research facilities are recommended for 1966, one
for work on insect and disease control and the other for forest products
and engineering research.
Visitors to Federal Recreation Areas

Recreational resources.—The 1966 budget for the National Park
Service is the last to be submitted under Mission 66—the 10-year
development program initiated in 1957. During this period, visits to
park areas have doubled. Funds are recommended to initiate developments in new park areas recently authorized and to improve
the operation of areas already established.
The Bureau of Outdoor Recreation serves as a focal point in the
Federal Government for promoting coordination of the many recreational activities at Federal reservoirs, wildlife refuges, national forests,
public domain lands, and national park areas and maintains liaison
with State and local governments and private interests. Last year,
the Congress enacted legislation to establish a Land and Water
Conservation Fund which is administered by this Bureau. Expenditures of this fund, financed in part from admission and user fees at
Federal recreation areas, are estimated at $10 million in 1965 and
$56 million in 1566. The Department of the Interior plans to provide
not more than 40% of State costs for planning, acquisition, and
development of recreational resources. The Fund will also be used for




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

99

Federal acquisition of recreation areas. This legislation and the
Wilderness Act of 1964, which established the National Wilderness
Preservation System, are major steps in meeting outdoor recreation
needs and preserving the natural environment.
Fish and wildlife resources.—In 1966, the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries will expand the fishing vessel construction assistance program to modernize U.S. fishing fleets, undertake a new program of
Federal grants for support of State commercial fishery research and
development projects approved by the Secretary of the Interior, and
continue activities supporting the national oceanographic research
efforts.
The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife will operate 88 Federal
fish hatcheries. Wildlife management activities will be carried out
at 315 refuges, including 8 new waterfowl areas; $2 million is provided
in 1966 for construction of improvements at 19 refuge areas, and $12.5
million is provided for acquisition of new waterfowl areas.
Mineral resources.—The Bureau of Mines will continue in 1966
cooperative research work with the Public Health Service to reduce the
air and water pollution resulting from mining and mineral processing
wastes and the combustion of organic fuels. Research will be started
to see whether castoff automobiles, a growing blemish on the Nation's
landscape, can economically supplement the metals supply. Efforts
to develop economical methods for extraction of oil from oil shale
will be expanded, looking toward development of the Nation's vast oil
shale reserves.
Future generations of Americans should not be deprived of the use
of valuable helium resources because of wasteful practices now.
Appropriation language is recommended to permit the Secretary
of the Interior, as authorized in the Helium Act Amendments of 1960,
to enter into additional long-term contracts to purchase helium, not
to exceed $12.5 million annually. This will raise the annual level of
purchases to $60 million and will ultimately increase the conservation
of helium by about one-fifth.
COMMERCE AND TRANSPORTATION
The Federal Government provides a broad range of technical and
financial aids to help meet the problems of specific types of businesses,
to stimulate the development of particular geographical areas, and to
improve major nationwide transportation and communication facilities. The Federal Government also endeavors to promote both the
public and private interest by helping to maintain effective competition and by regulating certain key industries.

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

101

In 1966, payments to the public for commerce and transportation
programs will total an estimated $6.5 billion, a decrease of $813 million
from 1965. Well over half of these payments represent trust fund
expenditures for Federal-aid highways financed primarily from highway user taxes.
Administrative budget expenditures of $2.8 billion for these programs will be an estimated $568 million less in 1966 than in the current fiscal year. This reduction reflects primarily (1) a sharp decline
in expenditures for the temporary accelerated public works program
initiated in fiscal year 1963 and (2) proposed legislation to increase
private financing through sale of participations in a pool of Small
Business Administration loans.
Advancement of business.—The responsibilities of the Department of Commerce for assisting business enterprise include mainly
aids to civilian research and technology; weather, census, and
economic information; and export promotion. Expenditures for
these programs are expected to increase by $15 million over 1965
levels.
Scientific and technical information developed through the activities of Federal agencies is making major contributions to the progress
of American industry. To increase the availability and usefulness of
such information, the recommended 1966 budget for the National
Bureau of Standards provides additional funds for (1) the National
Standard Reference Data System for evaluating scientific data and
(2) the Federal clearinghouse for distributing technical documents
resulting from Government research and development. A computer
standards unit is also being established to bring about greater standardization in the field of automatic data processing. Legislation will
be proposed to authorize matching grants to States establishing technical centers for the dissemination of information in order to encourage
more effective application of science and technology by businesses
locally. In spite of these increases, expenditures for the Bureau of
Standards are estimated to decline by $3 million in 1966 as construction
of a large new laboratory complex in Gaithersburg, Md., nears
completion.
New obligational authority requested for the Weather Bureau in
1966 is $29 million greater and estimated expenditures $9 million
more than in 1965, primarily to carry forward meteorological satellite
operations. During 1966, it is anticipated that reports of cloud
conditions over the entire globe will be obtained twice daily from the
Tiros-type spacecraft and used in a variety of weather advisory and
forecasting services.
The 1966 budget provides for the Patent Office to begin the installation of a fully automated system for microfilming, storing, and
retrieving patents; over 3.1 million are now on file, and new patents

are issued at the rate of 50,000 per year. This microfilm system will
speed the filling of orders from industry and inventors, now running
about 25,000 per day, and will permit greater use of this important
technical information resource.
Expenditures of the Census Bureau will decline by $6 million to
$33 million in 1966. Automation programs have made it possible to
complete the 1963 economic census without the additional $2 million
appropriation in 1966 previously planned. Other savings in the cost
of taking the 1970 decennial census are being sought in the pilot preparations now underway.
Exports of American goods have increased by 20% over the past
2 years. Continued rapid expansion is essential to the further improvement of the international balance of payments position of the
United States. The 1966 budget provides for the Department of
Commerce to increase its efforts to foster further export expansion
and to encourage more overseas travelers to visit this country.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

103

Surface transport.—The Department of Commerce is making
progress on a comprehensive analysis of transportation problems in
the Northeast Corridor of the United States. Legislation will be proposed to authorize demonstrations of improved intercity rail passenger
transport and to advance and evaluate the technology of high-speed
surface transport.
Small business.—The Small Business Administration will improve
its financial and other assistance to small businesses in fiscal year
1966. At the same time, measures encouraging increased financing
from private sources, including federally licensed small business investment companies, will make it possible to meet the needs of small
businesses with some reduction in Federal outlays for this purpose.
Legislation is proposed to authorize sale of an estimated $350 million
of participations in a pool of federally owned loans. Moreover, most
of the estimated $85 million of disaster loans to assist businesses and
homeowners suffering damage from the 1964 Alaskan earthquake
will be disbursed in 1965. These factors will result in an estimated
excess of receipts over expenditures in 1966 of $195 million, in sharp
contrast to the $243 million in net expenditures estimated for 1965.
Although total new commitments involving Federal funds are not
expected to increase in 1966, certain small business loan programs
will be expanded substantially. These include loans to small businesses under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, up $10 million;
loans to local development companies, up $10 million; and loans to
small businesses displaced by federally aided construction, up $5
million.
Area redevelopment.—The
Area Redevelopment Act, under
which Federal loans, grants, and other aids are provided to help
depressed areas build a solid economic base, expires on June 30, 1965.
Legislation is being proposed to extend and strengthen the Act.
Under the proposed new authority, Federal resources and efforts
would be concentrated more heavily in areas of greatest need, as
measured by unemployment and family income. Special incentives
would be provided to multi-county development regions which include
areas especially suited to serve as centers for broader economic development. More liberal grants and substantial increases in funds
would be made available for those public facilities most essential for
economic development. In addition, a special fund would help local
communities meet part of their share of the cost of projects undertaken under other Federal grant-in-aid programs. Federal guarantees
of working capital loans would be authorized for eligible industrial
projects.




104

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Aviation.—Over the past several years, major improvements have
been made in the safety and efficiency of the Federal airways system.
In 1966, the Federal Aviation Agency will begin installing new electronic equipment that will automatically report the altitude and
identity of aircraft to air traffic controllers. Funds provided in the
1966 budget will help to assure further improvements.
At the same time, a vigorous program is continuing to eliminate or
cut back marginal services and increase employee productivity.
Largely as a result of these efforts, the $729 million appropriation
recommended for the Federal Aviation Agency for 1966 is slightly
less than the amount provided in 1965, even though more traffic will
be handled and a higher quality of service provided. Expenditures
are estimated to be reduced from $781 million in 1965 to $750 million
in 1966.
The program of grants-in-aid for airport construction has been
critically re-examined in the light of the general policy to curtail
or eliminate programs which no longer meet urgent national needs.
From this review, it appears that Federal assistance for airport construction—which has totaled about $3 billion since 1933—should
henceforth be concentrated mainly at airports which serve a significant
volume of commercial air traffic. Accordingly, in this budget, appropriations of $62.5 million are recommended for such grants in 1967,
a reduction of $12.5 million from the amount already appropriated
for 1966.
Intensive analyses of the feasibility, costs, and other problems
associated with the development and operation of a civil supersonic
transport aircraft are nearing completion. As soon as possible, recommendations will be made to the Congress on what our next steps
should be.
The policy of paying Federal subsidies to support passenger helicopter operations has been critically evaluated, and it appears
undesirable, as a matter of national public interest, to continue this
program. Recommended new appropriations in 1966 for the Civil
Aeronautics Board contemplate the termination of the subsidy for
these operations effective December 31, 1965.
Water transportation.—For
1966, new obligational authority
requested for Department of Commerce programs to assist ocean
shipping totals $347 million. This is $6 million less than the new




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION"

105

obligational authority for 1965, primarily because of lower operating
subsidies.
Major steps are being taken to concentrate Federal aids to the
maritime industry on those most essential to the national interest.
Construction subsidies will be provided for 16 new ships as part of the
program to replace obsolete vessels in the subsidized fleet. Equipment will be automated on these vessels and on 26 recently completed
ships that are already in operation. Efforts will be made to introduce the NS Savannah, the world's first nuclear-powered merchant
vessel, into regular commercial operations.
An increase of $41 million in new obligational authority is requested
for 1966 for the Coast Guard, mainly to continue the program for
replacement of overage and obsolete vessels and facilities. The estimated increase of $26 million in expenditures is also largely for the
same purpose. This replacement program is vital for efficient performance of the Coast Guard's important missions of promoting commerce and safety on our inland waterways and on the sea.
The budget includes an appropriation of $7.5 million for the Interoceanic Canal Commission. This Commission was authorized by
legislation last fall to undertake a 4-year study of the feasibility of a
sea level canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, including
the most suitable site and the methods and probable costs of constructing it.
Highways.—Outlays in 1966 for the Federal-aid highway program,
financed primarily from the highway trust fund, are expected to be
about $3.9 billion. These outlays are made primarily to meet the
Federal share of the cost of the Interstate Highway System. The
estimated total cost of this system has recently been revised by the
Secretary of Commerce. The cost is now expected to be $46.8 billion,
$5.8 billion more than the previous estimate. This increase reflects
recent additions to the system, increases in right-of-way costs, changes
in design standards, and higher construction costs.
In order to continue the pay-as-you-build policy for financing
Federal-aid highways with minimum disruption to the construction
schedule, adjustments in the financing pattern will be recommended.
These include increased highway user taxes and an extension of such
taxes beyond October 1, 1972, the present expiration date. These




106

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 19 66

recommendations will permit orderly completion of the Interstate
System with a minimum extension of the construction schedule.
Trust fund expenditures to help finance construction of primary and
secondary highways will continue to rise gradually to a level of $1
billion annually. Legislation will be proposed during 1965 requiring
the use of at least one-third of the secondary road funds by the States
for improving access to recreational areas, rerouting of Federal-aid
highways and roads for scenic purposes, and increasing attention to
esthetic' considerations in highway design and development. The
provision in the existing law which permits up to 3 % of all Federal-aid
highway funds to be used without matching for the preservation of
natural beauty would be amended to provide the Secretary of Commerce with authority to require the use of these funds for this purpose.
A mandatory program to control advertising and auto junkyards
along new highways will be proposed to replace the voluntary outdoor
advertising control law, which expires June 30, 1965. Administrative
action will also be taken to increase use of the existing authority to
finance roadside and landscape developments from highway funds.
Postal service.—Expenditures of the postal service in 1966 are
estimated to exceed postal revenues by $714 million. This compares
with $578 million in 1964 and an estimated $718 million in 1965. The
increases over 1964 reflect primarily the cost of pay increases totaling
$270 million a year. These are offset in part by substantial operating
economies. The 1966 postal deficit, the amount by which postal
revenues fail to cover postal costs after making an allowance for public
service costs, is estimated at $234 million. Possible actions to reduce
this deficit through increases in certain postal rates will be studied by
a panel of distinguished citizens.
Legislation will be proposed to undertake a program for direct
Federal construction of major postal facilities. This program will
replace the present practice of leasing new postal facilities whenever
direct construction would contribute to long-run economy.
Employment in the postal service is estimated to increase in 1966
by 20,500. Of this amount, 15,000 employees are required as a first
step in a 2-year program to reduce the excessive amount of overtime
work, which rose to the equivalent of over 25,000 man-years in 1964.
Increases in workload, greater than can be handled by improvements in
efficiency, account for the remainder of the increased employment.
Substantial progress is being made in improving the efficiency of
the postal service. The excellent cooperation of the public, particu-




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

107

larly large mailers, in adopting the ZIP code program has enabled
post offices to initiate a simplified and less costly sorting of mail.
The 566 sectional centers—large post offices designated as focal points
for the receipt and dispatch of mail—-are expected to be in full operation in 1966. These centers, which are part of the pattern for ZIP
code sorting of mail, contribute to economy and improved postal
service by providing more direct dispatch and fewer handlings of
mail. The development of an electronic reading device which will
identify ZIP code numbers for a computer-controlled sorting machine
is proceeding on schedule, and this device should be ready for use by
1967.
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Federal housing and community development programs will
continue to be directed toward the goal, set by the Housing Act of
1949, of "a decent home and a suitable living environment for every
American family." In 1966, these programs will emphasize strengthened attacks on the decay in the center and the wasteful sprawl at the
edges of our growing urban areas. New financial aids will be proposed
(1) for helping to improve housing for those of moderate income,
(2) for providing neighborhood facilities required to improve services
in central cities, and (3) for land development and basic public
facilities in the outlying areas consistent with areawide urban
planning. To assure adequate leadership for this strengthened
attack, legislation will be proposed to create a Department of
Housing and Urban Development. Details on these proposals will
be transmitted to the Congress in a special message.
As in the past, the Federal Government will continue its efforts to
stimulate investment in housing and community development by
private individuals, nonprofit groups, and local communities. In
doing so, Federal programs will continue to rely primarily on matching
grants and insurance of private credit. In addition, mortgages will
continue to be purchased where necessary on a temporary basis to
demonstrate their suitability for private investment or to supplement
private sources of funds for specific types of investments.
The success of this approach in the past is demonstrated by the
fact that many of the mortgages and loans acquired in previous years
can now be sold to private investors. Receipts from such sales and
from fees, premiums, and other sources will continue in 1966 to
offset to a large extent the rising disbursements for urban renewal,

mass transportation, public housing, and other programs which cannot
be fully financed without Federal contributions. However, total
sales of mortgages are expected to decline from the high level in
1965. As a result, instead of the net receipts of $280 million now
estimated in the administrative budget for housing and community
development in 1965, expenditures will slightly exceed receipts in
1966. Including trust fund outlays, net payments to the public
for these programs are expected to be $652 million in 1966.
Urban renewal and community facilities.—Legislation will be
proposed for prompt authorization of an additional $675 million for
urban renewal capital grants. Together with the authority provided
in the Housing Act of 1964, this will allow reservation of funds for
local projects to be made at the $700 million level recommended last
year. In addition, for projects approved in prior years, it will provide
the funds required for increased payments to displaced families, elderly
individuals, and small businesses, as authorized last year. In order to
assure reasonable forward planning in this program, the proposed
legislation will request adequate authority for continuing the program
through 1969.
Expenditures for urban renewal are estimated to increase by $46
million over 1965 as more projects approved in prior years move
toward completion. The number of projects in which redevelopment
is completed is expected to increase from 92 at the end of 1964 to
162 at the end of 1966. About 200 projects will move from the
planning stage into execution in 1966, compared with 143 projects
in 1964.
The Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 authorizes grants to
local communities to pay two-thirds of that portion of the capital cost
of providing or improving local transit systems which cannot be
recovered from revenues. In addition, it authorizes loans where
revenues will cover costs but where private financing is not available
on reasonable terms. Grant funds can also be used to pay part of the
costs of projects designed to develop and demonstrate better methods
of providing urban mass transportation.
Appropriations of $161 million are requested for urban mass transportation for 1966, of which it is expected that $140 million will be
reserved for project grants, $10 million for loans, and $10 million for
demonstration grants. In order to allow communities ample opportunity for planning their projects, an additional appropriation this
year of $150 million for grants is also recommended, to become
available in 1967.
Legislation will be proposed to authorize three new types of Federal
grants to help local communities meet the urgent problems of growth
and change: (1) matching grants for new basic water and sewer systems

needed in rapidly growing metropolitan areas to carry out areawide
development plans adopted by the various local governments; (2)
grants to pay interest charges for up to five years to help these growing
areas borrow money to acquire land for public facilities in advance of
actual need; and (3) matching grants for urban service facilities such
as neighborhood centers, to help cities with approved plans to attack their social problems.
Appropriations of $35 million are recommended for 1966 for the
urban planning grant program to meet the backlog of applications and
the demands created by the expansion of this program in the Housing
Act of 1964. An estimated $60 million will be committed in grants
under the open space land grant program. These grants lielp to
preserve open space in and around cities and thus to prevent the waste
of resources associated with continued urban sprawl.

1964, will permit contracts in each of the next 4 years for annual
contributions to local public agencies for 35,000 additional units of
low-rent public housing. In addition, legislation is being recommended to facilitate the use, through purchase and rehabilitation or
lease, of 60,000 units of existing housing over the same 4-year period.
Expenditures under present programs, primarily for annual contributions, will rise to $236 million in 1966 as housing units for which contracts were signed in past years are completed and occupied.
Aids to private housing.—The established programs aiding private housing will continue to generate administrative budget receipts
in excess of expenditures. In 1966, this excess will amount to an
estimated $843 million.
Federal Housing Administration.—The Federal Housing Administration expects to approve applications for insurance on mortgages
financing 570,000 housing units in 1966, up 62,000 over 1965. Although claims on defaulted mortgages previously insured by the
Federal Housing Administration are expected to remain high in 1966,
the FHA will sell more home properties than it acquires. Receipts
from such sales and from fees, premiums, and other sources will exceed
claim payments and other expenditures by an estimated $127 million
in 1966, and insurance reserves will continue to increase.
Federal National Mortgage Association.—In 1966, commitments
or reservations will be made for purchases of $688 million of federally
insured or guaranteed mortgages under the special assistance functions of the Federal National Mortgage Association. This total
includes $500 million for mortgages, bearing below-market interest
rates, on 40,000 units of housing built for families with low or moderate
incomes. To help finance these commitments, an additional $100
million of mortgage purchase authority will be required, and prompt
enactment of legislation is being requested to provide it. Another
$50 million in authority will be needed to support a proposed program
of mortgage insurance for land development. Sufficient additional
purchase authority will be proposed to become available in 1967 and
later years to carry the special assistance program through 1969.
Purchases of mortgages, primarily under prior year commitments,
are expected to total $279 million in 1966, compared to $114 million
in 1965. Direct sales of mortgages purchased in past years will
decrease from $363 million in 1965 to $25 million in 1966. However,
the sale of participations in pools of other mortgages, authorized by
the Housing Act of 1964 in order to encourage greater private investment in housing, is expected to increase from $200 million already
sold in 1965 to $350 million planned in 1966. Reflecting these and




112

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

other factors, net receipts from the special assistance functions are
expected to decline from $531 million in 1965 to $166 million in 1966.,
By contrast, net receipts under the management and liquidating
programs of the Federal National Mortgage Association will increase
from $50 million in 1965 to an estimated $312 million in 1966. Much
of this increase reflects expected sales of $135 million of participations
in pooled mortgages from this program.
Except for Treasury loans and purchase of stock, the secondary
market operations of the Federal National Mortgage Association are
not reflected in the administrative budget totals. Some increase in
purchases of mortgages by the secondary market operations trust
fund is expected in 1966, primarily for relatively small mortgages
which are less attractive to private lenders. Net expenditures by the
trust fund are estimated to be $178 million in 1966, compared with
$48 million in 1965.
Other aids.—To increase the supply of housing available to families
of moderate income, legislation will be proposed to authorize payments to nonprofit sponsors of rental housing designed to maintain
rents at levels these families can afford to pay. This program will
assist particularly the elderly and families forced to move because of
federally assisted programs. It will also eliminate the need for the
present program of direct housing loans for elderly persons with
moderate incomes. Accordingly, additional funds to continue this
program will not be requested. However, because of prior year commitments, expenditures are expected to be $49 million in 1966.
Under the new program of low-interest-rate loans for rehabilitation of property in urban renewal areas, authorized by the Housing
Act of 1964, loans totaling $48 million are expected to be approved
in 1966.
Share accounts in savings and loan associations insured by the
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation are continuing to
grow at a rapid rate, with a corresponding increase in receipts from
insurance premiums. In consequence, the Corporation's receipts will
exceed expenditures by an estimated $336 million in 1966, compared
with $313 million in 1965.
Federal home loan banks.—Payments by Federal home loan banks,
mainly advances to member savings and loan associations to help
meet their normal expansion in requirements for mortgage loans, are
estimated to exceed repayments by $150 million in 1966. This contrasts with an excess of $250 million in repayments in 1965, following




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

113

unusually large net advances in 1964. The operations of these banks
are not included in the administrative budget, but are recorded as
trust fund expenditures and affect cash payments to the public.
National capital region.—The Federal Government is the predominant industry in the District of Columbia. It recognizes, therefore, a special responsibility to bear its proper share of the costs of the
government services provided by the District government, as well as
to extend long-term loans needed to carry out an orderly program of
capital improvements. Legislative authority is being proposed to
provide increases in the authorizations for both types of Federal
assistance and to base them on appropriate measures of the Federal
impact on the community and of the District's ability to repay borrowings. Authority is also requested for additional loans for highway
construction so that the District can continue with its approved
program.
A decade of comprehensive studies has established the need for a
more adequate transportation system to meet the growing requirements of regional development, assure effective performance of Federal
functions, and protect the beauty and dignity of the Nation's capital.
Legislation to authorize the initial phase of a regional transit development program is being proposed, and the 1966 budget provides $16
million (including borrowing by the District of Columbia from the
Federal Government for its proportionate share) to initiate engineering
and design of the proposed system and for land acquisition.
The specific programs and fiscal requirements of the District government are discussed more fully in the separate District of Columbia
budget.
HEALTH, LABOR, AND WELFARE
Federal payments to the public for health, labor, and welfare programs in 1966 are estimated at $34.1 billion, an increase of $5.2 billion
over 1965. Approximately $30 billion of the 1966 payments will be
made through the social insurance and retirement trust funds, financed
by special taxes, or through grants-in-aid for public assistance.
Trust fund programs account for $3.2 billion of the increase between
1965 and 1966, mainly for old-age and survivors insurance. Administrative budget expenditures are estimated to increase by $2.1 billion,
largely for accelerating the attack on poverty begun in 1965 and for
selective improvements in health and welfare programs important to
the development of human resources.

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

Health services and research.—In 1966, the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare will spend an estimated $2.2 billion
for health research, training, public health services, and related
consumer protection activities.
National Institutes of Health.—Expenditures of the National Institutes of Health are estimated to increase by $114 million in 1966, of
which $101 million will be for the conduct of research and $13 million
will be for research facilities, new centers for mental retardation research, and community mental health centers. Federal support of
health-related research by all agencies—of which three-fifths is by
NIH—will continue to represent about two-thirds of the national
total in 1966. Special Analysis H summarizes the health research
efforts of all Federal agencies.
Community health.—The Health Professions Educational Assistance
Act of 1963, through grants for construction and loans to students, is
helping to meet the urgent need for increasing the Nation's supply of
doctors and dentists. It does not, however, deal with the problem of
the heavy and increasing costs of operating medical and dental schools.
This problem threatens to delay seriously achievement of the goal of
increasing the number of medical school graduates by 50% and doubling
the number of dental graduates during the next 10 years. Legislation is, therefore, being proposed to provide operating support grants
to these schools and scholarships for needy students.
Funds provided under the Nurse Training Act of 1964 and the
Graduate Public Health Training Amendments of 1964 will increase
the number of qualified nurses and professional public health personnel
and improve the quality of their training.
Legislation extending the Hill-Burton Act in 1964 provided for a
shift of emphasis from grants for general hospital construction to
grants for construction of nursing home and other long-term care
facilities and for modernization of older hospitals. Appropriations of
$303 million are requested for this program for 1966. Of this amount,
$70 million is for nursing homes and $60 million is for hospital modernization. These requests represent substantial increases over the 1965
appropriations for these purposes.
To promote more widespread application of the latest medical
advances, legislation is being proposed to initiate a new system of
multipurpose regional medical complexes. These regional centers
will provide highly specialized care for heart disease, cancer, stroke,
and other major diseases; conduct clinical investigations; and teach
specialists. They will be affiliated with university medical schools
and will receive diagnostic services and other support from existing
community hospitals.




116

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Full benefits cannot be realized from the new concepts of community
care for the mentally ill unless there is an adequate number of centers
for this care. It is evident that lack of funds for initial staffing is
inhibiting communities from developing such centers. Legislation is
being proposed to (1) authorize grants for staffing mental health
centers for a limited period until private or other public funds are
made available and (2) continue aid to States and communities for
developing mental retardation programs.
Environmental health and consumer protection.—The attack on health
hazards caused by air pollution, water pollution, contaminated soils
and foods, and unsafe drugs will be strengthened substantially in 1966.
Combined expenditures for these purposes by the Public Health
Service and the Food and Drug Administration are estimated to total
$248 million.
The pollution of our environment continues to increase with our
growing population, increasing urbanization, and changing technology.
The 1966 budget continues support for research on pollution and for
training of environmental health specialists. Studies of river basins
and the health consequences of pesticides will be stepped up, and
enforcement and abatement actions against air and water pollution
will be intensified. Recommendations are being made to strengthen
enforcement authority. This will be complemented by legislative
proposals to (1) broaden grants to State and local air and water
pollution control agencies; (2) authorize grants for projects to reduce
water pollution caused by combined storm and sanitary sewers; and
(3) initiate research and demonstration projects relating to disposal
of solid wastes.
The budget provides for strengthening the Food and Drug Administration's scientific and medical research and evaluation activities to
improve the agency's capacity to detect harmful substances in foods
and drugs.
Maternal and child health.—In 1966, the Children's Bureau will
spend $156 million for existing maternal and child health and welfare
programs, an increase of $45 million over 1965. Support for projects
for the health care of indigent mothers and their infants to prevent
mental retardation, authorized in 1963, will be doubled.
Legislation is proposed for project grants under the maternal and
child health program for school health services and for comprehensive
care of crippled children and youth. Combined with the proposal
for medical care for children, included under public assistance, this
legislation will stimulate expanded State and community action in




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

117

making available more adequate health services for children in families
unable to afford medical care.
Other health services.—The budget reflects the planned replacement
in 1965 of two small Public Health Service general hospitals by outpatient clinics. This is the first step in a multi-year program for
consolidating the present system of 12 Public Health Service general
hospitals into a new system of 5 large, modern hospitals with expanded
programs for training medical and dental personnel. Hospital care
will be made mor6 accessible to seamen by providing for their treatment in Veterans Administration and military hospitals at locations
where there are no Public Health Service hospitals. Funds are included in the 1966 budget for planning the modernization of the five
hospitals, for the initial phase of the expansion of their training programs, and for improving their staffing.
Mental health and mental retardation.—Expenditures for mental
health and mental retardation activities are included in the various
health categories discussed above. In total, the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare is expected to spend $197 million
for mental health activities and $258 million for mental retardation
programs in 1966.
Labor and manpower.—Administrative budget expenditures in
1966 for labor and manpower programs are expected to be $81 million
higher than in 1965 and $220 million above outlays in 1964.
Progress made to date under the Manpower Development and
Training Act of 1962 has demonstrated its effectiveness and value in
equipping unemployed workers with skills which enable them to find
productive employment. The budget includes $411 million in appropriations for this program for 1965, including a supplemental appropriation of $103 million. For 1966, appropriations of $425 million
are recommended to carry forward training activities under this Act.
It is estimated that these funds will provide training for about 260,000
unemployed or underemployed workers and youths. By the end
of fiscal year 1966, an estimated 700,000 workers will have benefited
from this training.
The 1966 request includes $140 million under proposed legislation
to (1) broaden and improve the act, (2) increase the Federal share of
project costs in 1966 to 90% from the 66% which would otherwise go
into effect under the present law, and (3) extend as part of the MDTA
program the authority now included in the Area Redevelopment Act
to provide special training programs in redevelopment areas.




118

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1 9 6 6

Unemployment trust fund expenditures of $526 million are estimated
for 1966 to administer the Federal-State unemployment and employment service programs. The increase of $91 million over 1965 is
primarily to strengthen and improve regular employment services.
However, $37 million will be for a special program begun in 1965 for
expanded and improved employment services for disadvantaged youth,
closely linked with community anti-poverty action plans. An appropriation is proposed for an advance from the general fund for this
program, with provision for subsequent repayment from the trust fund.
Economic opportunity programs.—The ^Economic Opportunity
Act of 1964 launched an unprecedented national effort to combat
poverty in the United States. The objective of this effort is to
break the vicious cycle in which one generation's ignorance, disease,
and poverty are transmitted to the next. The requested new obligational authority of $1.5 billion for 1966 will be nearly double the
amount for 1965, the initial year of the program. Expenditures in
1966 are estimated at $1.3 billion, compared with $347 million in 1965.
Economic opportunity programs aim to improve the educational
levels, skills, and health of the poor; to increase their job opportunities;
and to help them to achieve a better home life. During 1966, an
estimated 600,000 persons will be enrolled in work, education, and
training programs financed under the Economic Opportunity Act.
In addition, several million persons, especially children and youths,
will be directly assisted by community action organizations operating
in an estimated 300 cities and rural localities.
The Government's regular programs for education and training,
health services, housing, welfare, agricultural services, and job opportunities also deal with the causes or effects of poverty. AdministraTRENDS IN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT PROGRAMS

live budget expenditures in 1966 include an estimated $3 billion in
total for services to low-income people under existing programs. In
addition, much of the new legislation proposed for 1966—especially
for health and for education—is directed toward meeting the needs
of low-income families.
Community action programs.—A successful attack on poverty can
best be conducted at the local level by persons acquainted with the
problems of the poor in their own communities. Therefore, the
principal vehicle of the anti-poverty program is the establishment of
comprehensive community action programs planned and administered
by local organizations representative of the major political, social, and
economic forces in the community, including the poor themselves.
Such community action programs and organizations will provide a
framework for effectively coordinating the various Federal, State, and
local programs currently available to assist the poor. Federal grants
will be made available to supplement existing funds and programs so
that the full range of services needed by the poor will be available to
them.
The budget contains $620 million in new obligational authority for
1966 for community action programs, including research, training, and
special demonstration projects. Included in this total is an estimated
$150 million for preschool programs to prepare culturally deprived
children for the regular elementary school curriculum. For children
who are to enter school next fall, $15 million has been allocated in
1965 for a "Head-Start" program to give these youngsters 2 months of
intensive preschool preparation.
Job Corps.—The Job Corps—administered by the Office of Economic
Opportunity through agreements with Federal agencies, State or local
governments, or private organizations—provides work, remedial
education, and vocational training for young people 16 through 21
years of age who are out of school and cannot progress properly in
their home environment. In 1966, an estimated 40,000 young people
will participate, an increase of 15,000 from 1965. Rural centers,
offering remedial education and conservation work, will provide
opportunity for an estimated 16,000 young men. Urban centers will
provide vocational and prevocational training for 24,000 young men
and young women.
Work and training programs.—The Economic Opportunity Act
provides for three work and training programs, each aimed at a different group of people. In 1966, the Neighborhood Youth Corps, administered by the Department of Labor, will provide part-time or full-time
employment and training opportunities for about 290,000 youths, both
in and out of school. Approximately 112,000 needy, employable




120

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1 9 6 6

adults will participate in the work experience program aimed at
enabling them to achieve economic independence; this program is
administered by the Welfare Administration of the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare. The work-study program operated by that Department's Office of Education will provide full-time
summer jobs and part-time jobs during the school year for an estimated 101,700 college students who would otherwise not be able to
attend school.
Other programs.—The Economic Opportunity Act authorizes several
additional programs to aid particular groups of poor people, including
grants and loans to help migrant workers, loans to low-income farmers
and rural families, loans to persons with poverty-level incomes
engaged in small business enterprises, and grants to States to finance
literacy training programs for adults.
The act also establishes the Volunteers in Service to America
(VISTA), through which, in 1966, it is expected that 5,000 Americans
will devote a year of their lives in constructive service to the poor.

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

121

Social insurance and public welfare.—In the last 30 years, the
United States has adopted and greatly improved public programs
which protect the aged, the disabled, the unemployed, and dependent
families who are unable to provide for themselves. For example, in
1966, persons over 65 years of age will receive about $22 billion in
Federal benefits and services.
The basic old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system now
covers over 90% of our workers and their families. Nevertheless,
gaps still exist in the protection provided through public income
maintenance programs, particularly for dependent children and for
the unemployed. The provision of medical and other services is inadequate. Benefit payments are too low for those who must depend
entirely on public programs. This budget includes proposed legislation to lessen these deficiencies.
Social insurance.—Expenditures of $26.5 billion are estimated in
1966 from trust funds for old-age, survivors, and disability insurance;
for unemployment insurance; for railroad retirement; and for the retirement programs for Federal civilian employees. This represents an
increase of $3.2 billion over 1965, of which $2.1 billion is under proposed legislation—almost entirely for social security benefit increases.
Lack of protection for the aged against the impact of heavy hospital
and nursing home bills is a major shortcoming of our social security
system. Early enactment is recommended of legislation to provide
such protection effective July 1, 1966, for the 85% of the aged who
are entitled to receive social security benefits. The cost of this new
program will be financed by payroll contributions to be shared equally
by the worker and his employer. For persons currently aged who
are not covered by social security, the cost of the new benefits would
be financed from general appropriations. The proposed legislation
also provides a 7% cash benefit increase, retroactive to January 1,
1965, for beneficiaries of the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance system.
Under existing law, the combined employer-employee payroll tax
for the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program is scheduled to increase from 7.25% to 8.25% effective January 1, 1966. The
proposed legislation will increase the taxable wage base from $4,800
to $5,600 effective January 1, 1966, and will raise the combined payroll
contribution in the initial year to 8.5%. Of this, 0.6% will be earmarked for the new hospital insurance trust fund.
Total receipts of the social insurance and retirement trust funds,
which are financed by special payroll taxes or contributions, are
expected to rise by $2.3 billion over 1965 to $27.7 billion in 1966.
This estimate includes $526 million from proposed legislation, mainly




122

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

the increases in the tax rate and wage base for social security and
hospital insurance.
Benefit payments of $2.6 billion are estimated in 1966 under the
Federal-State unemployment insurance system. No Federal legislation to improve this insurance system has been enacted in the last 10
years, and, in many States, the coverage and duration of benefits are
inadequate. The system as a whole covers only 60% of the labor
force and replaces only about 25% of the wages lost by covered
unemployed workers.
Proposed legislation will include improvements to (1) extend coverage of the system; (2) establish Federal standards relating to duration
and level of benefits; (3) strengthen financing; and (4) establish a
new, separate Federal system of extended benefits for workers who
have been in the labor force for a long time.
The budget includes $60 million in 1966 under proposed legislation
for the first of a series of payments, to take place over a 50-year
period, to liquidate the Federal Government's obligation to the old-age,
survivors, and disability insurance system for credits for past military
service. Appropriations of $17 million are recommended for the
second of 10 installments to liquidate a similar Federal obligation to
the railroad retirement trust fund.
Public assistance.—The Federal-State public assistance program is
the largest single protection against want and deprivation for needy
families and individuals who have no other resources. Under this
program, financial and medical assistance will be provided in 1966 to
an average of about 8 million of our Nation's poorest citizens, including an estimated 748,000 aged citizens who will receive special
medical assistance. The numbers of aged persons receiving medical
assistance and of dependent children receiving cash assistance have
been increasing, while caseloads under the regular old-age assistance,
aid to the disabled, and aid to the blind programs have remained
relatively stable.
Public assistance payments in many States—particularly for
dependent children—are inadequate to meet even minimum standards
of health and decency. Assistance is not available at all for the
more than 24,000 needy aged who are patients in mental or tuberculosis institutions. In addition, medical care for dependent children
under the public assistance program is minimal or entirely unavailable
in many States. As a first step toward remedying these deficiencies,
legislation is being proposed to increase the Federal share of public
assistance payments, to extend assistance to needy elderly patients in




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

123

tuberculosis or mental institutions, and to expand medical assistance
for children in poor families.
Other welfare services.—In 1966, the Federal-State vocational
rehabilitation program is expected to restore an estimated 145,000
individuals to employ ability, an increase of 2 1 % over 1964. Legislation is proposed to expand vocational rehabilitation services,
particularly for the mentally retarded and the severely disabled.
A major contribution toward the welfare of American youngsters is
made by the school lunch program which will reach almost 18 million
schoolchildren in 1966 at an estimated Federal cost of $202 million.
In addition, expenditures of $100 million are estimated for the special
milk program. Further expansion of the food stamp program, as
provided in legislation enacted last year, will enable it to serve more
than 1 million individuals in 1966.
EDUCATION
Increased Federal support for education is vital because of the
crucial role of educated talent in our free society. Each individual
must have an opportunity for education to the maximum of his
capabilities to fulfill his own potential and to be prepared to work in
an increasingly complex economy. Use of resources for broadening
educational opportunities is one of the most productive investments
our Nation can make.
The bulk of the Nation's support for education is properly provided
by State and local governments and by private individuals and institutions. However, there is also an increasing responsibility at the
national level for providing leadership and resources to insure that
national educational objectives are achieved.
The 1966 budget recognizes this Federal responsibility. It provides
$4.1 billion in new obligational authority for 1966—a 63% increase
over 1965—to accelerate progress in education at all levels. Expenditures in 1966 are estimated at $2.6 billion, representing an increase of
more than 75% over 1965.
The two major components of the proposed strengthened Federal
support for the Nation's educational system in 1966 are:
(1) Increases of $342 million in new obligational authority and $359
million in expenditures for the new or expanded educational measures
enacted by the 88th Congress, including higher education facilities,
student loans and other defense educational activities, vocational
education, and public library grants; and
(2) Provision of $1.5 billion in new obligational authority and $600
million in expenditures for new programs proposed for enactment this
year.

The new programs will place particular stress on innovation in, and
support for, elementary and secondary education, especially for
children in poor areas. Grants totaling $1,255 million are included in
the budget for these programs. New proposals will also call for
authorization of $260 million to expand higher educational opportunities by helping to strengthen colleges, providing extension education
to serve urban areas, and aiding low-income college students through
grants, loan guarantees, and increased work-study programs, Further
details were provided in a special message on education.
The following sections describe the budget recommendations for
existing education programs.
Assistance for elementary and secondary
education.—Expenditures of $472 million are estimated in 1966 for schools in areas
affected by Federal activities and for aid to elementary and secondary
schools under the National Defense Education Act. Amendments to
the latter act in 1964 enlarged the total authorization and extended
eligibility for purchase of equipment and library books to five new
subject areas—history, civics, geography, English, and remedial
reading. The budget provides the full amount authorized for grants
to support guidance and testing services, which must be strengthened
to assist students in pursuing education programs bast suited to their
abilities and interests.
New obligational authority requested for 1966 for grants to federally affected areas is about the same as for 1965, reflecting the closing of military bases and the results of stringent Federal employment
policies. Expenditures will increase, however, because of payments
coming due under obligations incurred in prior years.

Estimate

Assistance for higher education.—Expenditures
for existing
higher education programs are estimated to increase by $254 million
in 1966 to a level of $682 million.
Nearly three-fifths of this increase is for the program started in
1965 providing grants and loans to aid in construction of classrooms
and other academic facilities. The budget includes new obligational
authority of $642 million for this new program, which will provide
assistance to about 1,000 colleges in 1966.
Under the National Defense Education Act, 340,000 students are
expected to receive loans in 1966, an increase of 23,000 over 1965.
In addition, 10,500 graduate students will be supported by fellowships
under this Act, compared with 5,900 in 1965.
College housing loan approvals in 1966 by the Housing and Home
Finance Agency are expected to remain at the $300 million level
attained in 1964 and 1965. Additional new obligational authority
needed to continue the college housing program in 1966 is recommended for enactment early in calendar year 1965. To encourage colleges to plan for future housing needs, authority is also being requested




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

127

to finance the program through 1969. The $36 million increase in
expenditures estimated between 1965 and 1966 reflects increased
construction outlays on projects previously approved.
Assistance to science education and basic research.—The
National Science Foundation helps develop the Nation's scientific
capability by supporting science education and basic research. For
1966, new obligational authority of $530 million is recommended, an
increase of $110 million over 1965. Nearly 70% of this increase is
needed to provide adequate overall Federal support for research in
universities. With the tapering off of growth in research support
from other agencies, increased reliance must be placed on the Foundation in 1966 to underwrite the Nation's basic scientific research,
particularly at universities.
Increases are also estimated for grants by the National Science
Foundation to accelerate the development of an additional number of
selected academic institutions into centers of scientific excellence and
to support science education. Expanded support for graduate
education in the sciences will, in 1966, enable more than 8,800 fellowship recipients to further their scientific training and about 45,000
science teachers to update their knowledge through college and
secondary school teacher training institutes.
Reflecting the recommended increases in new obligational authority,
expenditures for the Foundation's programs are estimated to rise by
$80 million to a level of $405 million in 1966.
Other aids to education.—Vocational education, especially beyond
the high school level, is essential for the 65% of the Nation's youngpeople who are not now going on to college and for workers whose skills
are'made obsolete by economic change. As a result of the Vocational
Education Act of 1963 which modernized this program, Federal
expenditures for vocational education are estimated to rise to $186
million in 1966, more than double the 1965 level. Emphasis is being
placed on training for expanding occupations, such as technical and
subprofessional health vocations, rather than on the traditional agricultural and home economics vocations. The new emphasis, combined with the programs under the Manpower Development and
Training Act of 1962 and the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 (both
included in the budget under health, labor, and welfare), will advance
this increasingly important aspect of American education.
Under the 1964 amendments to the National Defense Education Act,
teacher institute programs were broadened to include English, history,
and other fields. In total, an estimated 21,000 teachers will participate
in institutes under this Act in 1966. The Library Services and
Construction Act of 1964 enlarged the Federal role in providing public
library books, services, and construction; in 1966, expenditures of $37




128

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

million are estimated to carry out this role, more than double the
amount estimated for 1965.
Expenditures are also estimated to increase in 1966 for research and
demonstration projects designed to achieve more effective teaching
in our schools, for construction of educational television facilities, for
expanded training of teachers of the handicapped, and for continued
strengthening of the Office of Education.

VETERANS BENEFITS AND SERVICES
The 1966 budget provides for the higher pension benefits' and the
new nursing home care programs enacted by the 88th Congress. Increased funds are also recommended for hospital and nursing home
construction. Obligations for compensation benefits are expected to
continue at the record level reached during the current year.
Nevertheless, payments to the public in 1966 for veterans benefits
and services are estimated to be $874 million less than in the current
year, principally because of certain anticipated financial transactions,
which do not affect the actual benefits or services provided to veterans.
These transactions include increased private financing of veterans
housing programs through mortgage sales totaling over $1 billion
and proposed legislation to spread the mailing of checks for compensation and pensions more evenly through each month. The cycling
of veterans benefit checks represents an improvement in procedures
which will save the Government about $1.7 million annually in administrative expenses and substantial amounts in interest costs.
Transition payments will be made to insure that no veteran receives
reduced payments in the calendar month during which the changeover is made. The shift to the new system, however, will yield a
nonrecurring reduction of $150 million in Federal expenditures in 1966.
Life insurance trust fund payments are also estimated to be $130
million lower, largely because dividends scheduled for payment in
1966 are being accelerated into 1965. In addition, organizational
and management improvements will provide significant savings in
the general and medical operating expenses of the Veterans Administration.
Service-connected compensation.—Compensation payments for
death and disability resulting from military service are estimated at
nearly $2.2 billion in 1966, approximately the same as in the current
year. A slightly declining caseload will be offset by higher average
payments per case as veterans advance in age and disabilities become
more serious. Approximately 2,357,000 disabled veterans or their
survivors will receive payments in 1966, about 3,000 less than this
year. The average annual payment in 1966 is estimated to be $859
to disabled veterans and $1,274 to survivors.

Non-service-connected pensions.—In 1966, pensions for disability
and death not connected with military service are expected to rise by
$69 million over 1965 to a new high of $1.9 billion. Most of this increase is attributable to amendments to the Veterans Pension Act
enacted in the 88th Congress which increased payments and liberalized

income criteria for eligibility. While the 1,173,000 veterans expected
to be receiving pensions in 1966 represent a decline of 20,000 from
1965, the average payment per case is estimated to increase from
$1,003 to $1,039. The number of veterans survivors receiving pensions is estimated to rise by 47,000 to a total of 942,000, and the
average payment per case will rise from $712 to $729. World War I
veterans and their surviving beneficiaries comprise almost 70% of
these pensioners. Payments to veterans of World War II and the
Korean conflict and their survivors will continue to rise as increasing
numbers of veterans reach ages at which rates of disability and
mortality mount.

Readjustment benefits.—Expenditures for education and training
will decline in 1966 because the program for veterans of the Korean
conflict terminates on January 31, 1965. However, education and
training benefits previously available to war orphans have been extended to children of veterans who are permanently and totally disabled due to military service. The number of war orphans or depend-




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

131

ent children receiving education and training is estimated at 17,100
in 1966.
The Veterans Administration guarantees housing loans for eligible
veterans and makes direct housing loans to veterans in rural areas and
relatively small communities where private credit is not generally
available. Net receipts of $863 million are estimated in these programs in 1966, made possible in large measure by anticipated increased
purchases by private investors of VA-held housing loans.
Net receipts of the direct loan program are expected to be $493
million higher in 1966 than in 1965, primarily because private financing
is expected to be enlarged through greatly expanded sales of certificates
of participation in a pool of mortgage loans. In addition, the number
of new loans is expected to decline from 14,000 in 1965 to 10,000 in
1966, as fewer veterans remain eligible.
About $630 million of unobligated funds are estimated to be carried
forward into 1966 for the direct loan program, an amount considerably
in excess of the new loans expected to be made in that year. Accordingly, the budget includes a proposal to cancel the $100 million of new
obligational authority which would otherwise become available for
1966 under present law.
The loan guarantee program, which is estimated to require $40
million in net expenditures in 1965, will have estimated net receipts
of $144 million in 1966. As in the direct loan program, the main
reason for the shift is the sharp expansion planned in private financing
through sales of certificates of participation. Foreclosures of 23,660
mortgages financed with guaranteed loans are expected in 1966,
slightly lower than in 1965. In addition, the number of loans guaranteed will decline by 10% as an increasing number of World War II
veterans become ineligible for home loan guarantees. Eligibility of
veterans of the Korean conflict begins to expire in 1965, depending on
the individual's length of service and discharge date.
Hospitals and medical care.—The 1966 budget includes expenditures of $1,222 million for veterans hospital and medical care services,
including administration and medical and prosthetic research. This
estimate is $22 million higher than the amount expected to be spent in
1965. Provision is made for continued improvement in the quality of
medical care, expansion of research, and activation of three new hospitals in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Ga., and Charleston, S.C. The
new nursing home care program in Veterans Administration facilities
started in 1965 will be expanded in 1966, and nursing home care of
veterans through payments to private homes will be initiated. Savings
from the closing in 1965 of 11 hospitals and 4 domiciliary homes
which are no longer needed will largely offset the costs of these expansions and improvements.




132

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Hospital, domiciliary, and nursing home care will be provided in
1966 for an average of 138,802 beneficiaries per day in Veterans
Administration, contract, and State facilities—approximately 1,200
more than in 1965. There will also be an estimated 6.2 million visits
by veterans to outpatient clinics operated by the Veterans Administration or to private physicians and dentists at the expense of the
Veterans Administration.
Hospital construction.—Expenditures for hospital construction in
1966 are estimated to be $93 million, an increase of $13 million over
1965. New obligational authority of $102 million is proposed for
the year, representing the sixth step in carrying out the 15-year,
$1.2 billion hospital construction program initiated in 1961 to modernize the 125,000-bed hospital system. Included in this total is $5
million to initiate a grant program to assist State soldiers' homes to
build nursing home facilities for veterans as authorized by the 88th
Congress.
Construction will be started on new hospitals of 760 beds at Chicago,
111., and of 480 beds at Columbia, Mo., and on a partial replacement
of the hospital at Northport, N.Y., providing 480 beds. Planning
for three new hospitals will be initiated, and several new modernization projects will be undertaken. New obligational authority of
$6 million is provided for 1966 for the construction and planning of
new medical research facilities.
Veterans life insurance trust funds.—The national service and
U.S. Government life insurance trust funds finance about 5 million
life insurance policies, primarily for veterans of World Wars I and II.
Receipts are chiefly from premiums and interest on investments;
expenditures are mainly for death and disability claims and dividends.
Trust fund expenditures are estimated to decline by $130 million in
fiscal year 1966, mainly because $101 million of the $225 million total
regular dividend payments due in that year are being disbursed in
January 1965.
Other veterans benefits and services.—Insurance and indemnity
expenditures made from administrative budget funds are estimated
to decline by $27 million in 1966 because (1) the servicemen's indemnity program is gradually coming to an end as scheduled 10-year
payments are completed and (2) premiums in the early years of new
insurance programs for disabled veterans enacted by the 88th Congress
will exceed insurance payments and administrative costs.
Reductions in workload, continuing improvements in productivity,
and continued field office reorganization, including the consolidation
of 17 regional offices, will result in decreased costs for general
administrative operations of the Veterans Administration.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY

FUNCTION

INTEREST
Interest payments will continue to rise in fiscal year 1966, but at a
slower pace than in recent years. The increase in the outstanding
public debt will cause most of the rise in these payments. Higher
short-term interest rates during the past 18 months, required to limit
the flow of short-term funds abroad, will also cause minor upward
adjustments in interest payments in 1966, as outstanding obligations
mature and are refunded with securities paying higher rates.

As usual, payments to the public for interest in 1966 will be substantially below estimated administrative budget expenditures for
two main reasons: (1) interest payments of over $2 billion received
by Federal trust funds and agencies from their investments in U.S.
Government securities are included in administrative budget expenditures but not in cash payments to the public, since they are
transactions within the Government, and (2) accruals of interest on
savings bonds—included in administrative budget expenditures—are
estimated to exceed by $648 million the actual interest payments
made to bondholders during 1966.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Payments in 1966 for the legislative and judicial functions of the
Federal Government and for the general administrative, fiscal, and
law enforcement activities of the executive branch will total an estimated $2.4 billion, an increase of $43 million over 1965.

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

135

Central fiscal operations.—Expenditures of the Internal Revenue
Service are estimated to increase by $12 million to $606 million in
1966. This increase will allow the Service to (1) handle the growth
in workload from an anticipated 1.9 million additional returns, (2)
make further progress in establishing a nationwide master file for all
taxpayers, and (3) take another forward step on the long-range
program to improve taxpayer compliance. These measures will
help to assure increasing efficiency and equity in collection of the
revenues necessary to finance Federal operations, so that taxpayers
may have confidence in the administration of the revenue laws.

General property and records management.—To continue the
Government-wide program of providing more modern and efficient
facilities for Government operations, new obligational authority of
$204 million is requested for 1966 for acquisition of sites, planning, and
construction of new buildings by the General Services Administration.
This amount is $26 million more than the appropriations for 1965
for these purposes. Expenditures in 1966 will also rise over 1965, as
progress is made on construction financed in prior years. In other
public buildings activities, expenditures are estimated to decline by
$8 million in 1966, reflecting mainly decreases for repairs and
improvements.

Central personnel management.—It has been over 10 years
since a thorough study was made of Government retirement programs
and policies. There have been numerous adjustments in the Federal
programs and important developments in other public and private
retirement systems. The costs of Federal retirement programs will
exceed $3 billion in 1966, and will continue to increase.
To establish a realistic and comprehensive framework for considering changes and improvements in existing military and civilian
retirement programs, a Cabinet-level Committee, supported by an
adequate staff, will make a thorough review of all Government retirement systems and their interrelationships with one another and with
the social security system. The Committee will also consider problems relating to the future financing of the retirement funds and
benefits provided for the survivors of Federal employees.

Protective services and alien control.—^Expenditures for the law
enforcement and related activities of the Department of Justice are
estimated to increase by $10 million in 1966, primarily to complete
prison construction for which funds were appropriated in earlier
years and to provide additional personnel for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Expenditures resulting from civil rights activities are
estimated to increase in both 1965 and 1966. New obligational
authority recommended for the Department of Justice for 1966 is $8
million less than in 1965 because of lower requirements for new
prison construction.
Other general government.—The Government Printing Office,
an agency of the legislative branch of the Government, is requesting
appropriations of $45 million to build a modern plant adequate in
size to meet its growing requirements. Funds to select a site and to
design such a building have previously been provided.




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY FUNCTION

137

In 1964, as part of the Federal assistance to Alaska following the
earthquake last spring, the Congress authorized $23.5 million in
additional transitional grants to help offset the anticipated loss of
revenues and extraordinary expenses of the State and its local governments. An appropriation of the $6.5 million remaining under the
authorization is being requested, with the understanding that such
amount may be reduced when the latest data on revenue losses and
extraordinary expenses are received.
Legislation is being proposed to authorize payment of claims in 1966
to certain inhabitants of the Ryukyu Islands for damages by U.S.
Forces before the Japanese Peace Treaty was signed.

PART 5

THE FEDERAL PROGRAM
BY AGENCY




153

EXPLANATION OF MEANS OF FINANCING
AGENCY ACTIVITIES
TYPES OF FUNDS

Agency activities are financed both through administrative budget
funds and through trust funds.
The administrative budget covers Federal (Government-owned)
funds which are of four types. The general fund is credited with
receipts not earmarked by law, and is charged with expenditures
payable from such revenues and from general borrowing. Special
funds account for Federal receipts earmarked for specific purposes,
other than carrying out a cycle of operations. Public enterprise (revolving) funds finance a cycle of operations in which expenditures
generate receipts primarily from the public. Intragovernmental revolving and management funds facilitate financing operations within and
between Government agencies.
Trust funds are established to account for receipts which are held
in a fiduciary capacity by the Government for use in carrying out
specific purposes and programs. Within the category of trust funds
there is a special category of trust revolving funds which carry on a cycle
of business-type operations.
The budget also includes (in association with the trust funds)
deposit funds, which are not used for Government programs but are
essentially suspense or agent accounts and include some transactions
of certain Government-sponsored enterprises. The following discussion is not generally pertinent to them.
NEW OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY AND OBLIGATIONS

New obligational authority.—Government agencies are permitted to
enter into obligations, requiring either immediate or future payment
of money, only when they have been granted authority to do so by
law. The amounts thus authorized by Congress are called new
obligational authority (NOA). Such authority is related to the
obligations expected to be incurred during the year for most accounts.
In some cases, especially construction, research, or procurement, NOA
is requested and granted to finance the full cost of each project at the
time it is started.
New obligational authority usually takes the form of appropriations
which permit obligations to be incurred and expenditures to be made.
154




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY AGENCY

155

Some is in the form of contract authorizations which permit obligations,
but require an appropriation "to liquidate" in order to permit expenditures in payment of the obligations. Any part of NOA which
is not used for obligations during the period for which it is made
available by the Congress expires, and thus cannot be used at a later
time. However, reappropriations and reauthorizations are congressional actions to continue availability of unused balances which
would otherwise expire. There are also authorizations to spend debt
receipts; such NOA permits the use of borrowed money to incur
obligations and make expenditures. Authority to use Treasury
borrowing is an authorization to spend from public debt receipts;
authority to borrow directly from private enterprise, granted only to
certain Government corporations, is called an authorization to spend
from corporate debt receipts.
Most new obligational authority of administrative budget funds
is granted year by year (current authorizations). Under certain laws,
some new obligational authority in the administrative budget and
most NOA in the trust funds becomes available from time to time
without further action by the Congress (permanent authorizations).
The amount of new obligational authority is usually named specifically in the act of Congress which makes it available (definite authorizations). In a few cases the amount is left indefinite to be determined by subsequent circumstances (indefinite authorizations); an
example is the appropriation for interest on the public debt.
Obligations incurred.—Following the enactment of new obligational
authority, obligations are incurred by Government agencies. Such
obligations include the currently accruing liabilities for salaries and
wages, certain contractual services, and interest; entering into contracts for equipment, construction, and land; approval of agreements
to make loans; and other commitments requiring the payment of
money.
EXPENDITURES AND BALANCES

Expenditures.—Obligations are liquidated by the issuance of checks,
disbursement of cash, the maturing of interest coupons in the case of
some bonds, and, in a few special cases, by issuance of bonds or notes
(or increases in the redemption value of bonds outstanding) in lieu of
checks. Retirement of debt and purchase of the Government's own
securities are not counted as expenditures (or as obligations incurred).
Expenditures during any fiscal year may be payments of obligations
incurred in prior years or in the same year. The expenditures therefore flow in part from balances of prior year NOA and in part from
NOA provided for the year in which the money is spent.
For three types of funds—public enterprise, intragovernmental, and
trust revolving funds—expenditures are stated net of receipts. If




156

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

receipts exceed expenditures the difference shows as a minus entry in
the expenditure tables. Moneys received from the issuance of debt
instruments or the sale of the Government's own securities are not
counted as receipts or netted against expenditures.
Expenditures of the individual accounts and funds include various
payments which are credited to receipt accounts. For example, a
number of public enterprise funds pay, to the general fund, interest on
the capital they have received from the Government. Interfund
transactions of this type within the administrative budget are deducted at the end of the expenditure tables (and identical deductions
are made at the end of the receipt tables). Similar interfund deductions are made in the trust fund tables for those payments made by
one trust fund to another.
Balances.—Not all of the obligational authority enacted for a fiscal
year is paid out in the same year. In the case of salaries and wages,
only 1 to 3 weeks elapse between the time of obligation and the time
of expenditure. On the other hand, in the case of major procurement
and construction, up to several years may elapse. Amounts which
have been obligated are always carried forward to cover the subsequent
expenditure in payment of such obligations.
Most appropriations for current operations are made available for
obligation only within the year (1-year appropriations). Some are
for a specified longer period (multiple-year appropriations). Some,
including most of those for construction, some for research, and nearly
all trust fund appropriations are made available by Congress until
expended (no-year appropriations), and remain available for obligation
until the objectives have been completed.
Therefore, a change in the amount of new obligational authority
for a given year does not necessarily change either the obligations
incurred or the budget expenditures in that same year by an equal
amount. A change in new obligational authority in any one year
may spread its effect over obligations for 2 or more years and over
expenditures for even a longer period.
ESTIMATES FOR 1965 AND 1966

Data for 1965.'—Congress has already acted on appropriations and
other new obligational authority for fiscal year 1965, but additional
supplemental amounts are estimated to be required in certain cases.
Where the word "enacted" is used in the budget in reference to 1965,
as in tables 4 and 5, the amounts are those already voted by Congress
(including the amounts likely to be available in the case of appropriations made in an indefinite amount) or the expenditures thereunder, unless otherwise indicated. Where the word "estimate" is
used, the amounts include both those which are enacted and needed
supplemental. Certain standard footnotes are used in the following




THE FEDERAL PROGRAM BY AGENCY

157

table to distinguish the status of proposed items for 1965 in this
part of the budget. (NOA is identified for each item, as are expenditures for items other than those for civilian and military pay increases.
Expenditures from pay increase items are identified in the agency
totals, but are merged with expenditures from amounts already
enacted in the individual lines.)
Data for 1966.—This budget is complete as to the estimates for
1966. The budget appendix generally includes the proposed appropriation language for the various items which are identified in the
budget. However, in some instances—mainly cases of proposed new
legislation—estimates are included in the budget, but formal trans mittal of the proposed text of the appropriation language (or other
proposal) will be made later. In certain tables, these items for later
transmittal and expenditures therefrom are identified in separate
columns, or by special footnotes, as in the following table. In tables
where there is no such specific identification, the estimate for 1966 is
comprehensive, whether or not the necessary appropriation language
is formally transmitted at this time.
Changes from 1965 to 1966. —The table which follows gives data for
1964, 1965. and 1966, with figures on increases or decreases of 1966
compared with 1965. These changes include certain mandatory cost
changes as well as proposals of the President with respect to programs.
Special allowances.-—It is likely that some additional needs, not now
known, will arise during the remainder of 1965 and 1966, and supplemental proposals will be transmitted to Congress when required to
finance them. Congress may also enact legislation which is not specifically provided for in the Budget, either because it is not proposed by
the President, or because its cost in either of the 2 years is relatively
small. Furthermore, some legislative proposals may involve all or a
number of agencies (as for the Appalachia program for 1966). In
such cases it is not feasible to show individual items under the agencies
concerned. Lump-sum allowances are included in the summary tables
of the budget to cover such items not yet enacted into law.
Annexed budgets.—The expenditures and revenues of seven selfsupporting Government agencies or programs were omitted from
budget documents prior to 1965, except that partial figures on three
of them have been included in the trust fund and consolidated cash
totals (but with no supporting data in the appendix). Without making any changes in the totals, a memorandum section covers these
activities at the end of part 5, and some details on them appear in the
appendix. Like the budgets for the legislative branch and the
judiciary, the annexed budgets have not been reviewed by the President but are included in the amounts submitted by the agencies
(except for one case, which is noted, where Bureau of the Budget
estimates are used because no agency estimates were submitted).

ANALYSIS OF NEW OBLIGATIONAL AUTHORITY AND EXPENDITURES BY AGENCY (in thousands of dollars)
This tabulation shows, for each appropriation and fund account, among the administrative budget funds, information on new obligational authority (called NOA herein)
and expenditures. Explanatory sentences relate primarily to NOA, and usually to increases or decreases for 1966. Functional code numbers are cross references to the
lines in table 14 (pp. 138 to 151) where the figures are summarized. The NOA in this tabulation takes account of certain transfers between appropriations which are
set forth in the Budget Appendix. Congressional action in the appropriation process occasionally is in the form of a limitation on the use of a trust fund or other fund, or
an appropriation to liquidate contract authorizations; such items which do not involve NOA are also included here in parentheses, but are not added into the totals.
NOA items in the administrative budget are current authorizations except where otherwise indicated. A separate section of this tabulation shows similar information on
the trust funds. Smaller funds are grouped in that section. Accounts appearing there are permanent authorizations unless otherwise noted.

Supplemental is for screwworm eradication in the Southwest. Net
decrease reflects proposed legislation to place meat inspection on a
self-supporting basis and savings from reduction or elimination of
research at 47 locations and elimination of the fire ant control program.
Increases in 1966 are for staffing new and expanded facilities, additional support for senior scientists, research on livestock, toxin-producing molds, and health-related problems of tobacco, expanded plant
and animal disease and pest control and eradication, meat inspection
and construction of laboratories—primarily of laboratories for which

in expenditures results primarily from reduction in shipments of nonprice-support commodities and lower ocean freight charges as new
law requires buyers to pay all except additional cost for use of American vessels.)
Volume of commodities (principally wheat) donated for economic
development is estimated to be higher in 1966.

Decrease is due to supplemental request in 1965 to cover reimbursement
to Commodity Credit Corporation for unrecovered costs. NOA in
1966 is to cover only 1966 costs less repayments.
(It is estimated that long-term sales for dollars will continue to increase
in 1966.)
Supplemental in 1965 provides for unrecovered 1964 and 1965 costs.
Estimate will provide for 1966 costs only.
Decrease assumes use of $22.5 million of prior year funds.
(Estimate is for value of strategic materials acquired by barter and
transferred to supplemental stockpile.)

The 1966 authorization, plus balance from previous years, will provide
for estimated loan commitments of $300 million for electrification
and $97 million for telephone and for $65 million reserve. Proposed
legislation permits loan receipts to be used. This will reduce expenditures in 1965, and both NOA and expenditures in 1966.

In 1966, reductions which result from completion of troop tests of
air assault concepts are more than offset by increased costs of
aircraft operations. The overall decrease in 1966 results, however, from the transfer of reserve forces costs out of this account, as
shown comparatively in the 1964 and 1965 columns.

Increase is for expansion of aedes aegypti eradication program and for
expansion of epidemic intelligence service and training assistance to
the States. Legislation is proposed to continue the expiring community vaccination grant program.
Estimate reflects full authorization of $24.3 million for loans to students
of medicine, dentistry, and nursing as well as increased support for
professional public health training.

Estimate provides increase for 2d year of renewed effort to control
tuberculosis.

Estimate continues the present effort to eradicate venereal disease.

Increase provides for additional research grants, expansion of research
in dental techniques, and start of a research training grant program.

Increases for research training, fellowship, and graduate nurse training
programs are more than offset by decrease resulting from transfer of
student nurse loans to "Community health practice and research"
appropriation.
Estimate provides $100 million for community hospital grants. $70
million in construction grant support for long-term care facilities,
and $60 million for grants to modernize obsolete medical facilities.

Estimate includes $90 million for grants to support the construction of
medical, dental, nursing, and allied professional teaching facilities.
Decrease results from transfer of student loans to another appropriation and lower 1966 authorization for construction grants.

Increases in 1966 primarily for full-year operating costs of new facilities
are more than offset by nonrecurring cost of fishery resource disaster
aid in Great Lakes region.
Biological and technological research and market development efforts
are carried on abroad using excess foreign currencies.
Supplemental in 1965 is for completion of a fish passage facility (Selway
Falls, Idaho) damaged by flood waters. Amount for 1966 includes
completion of construction of an exploratory vessel for use in Gulf of
Mexico and continuation of program providing production and migration aids for salmon in Columbia River Basin.

Part of the proceeds from sales, mostly of fur sealskins, is used in administration of the Pribilof Islands.

Supplemental in 1965 is for wage board costs; increased per diem rates in
Federal contract hospitals; and new payments for nursing home care

types of medical services in existing facilities; increased staffing and
equipment to improve quality of care; and new programs for care in

The social security program provides insurance against income loss due
to death, retirement, or disability. Increased tax receipts to the oldage and survivors trust fund under existing law are due to a scheduled
increase in tax rates effective in January 1966, and an anticipated increase in average earnings. The latter increase affects receipts to the
disability insurance trust fund.
Proposed changes in existing law will increase the annual covered wage
base from $4,800 to $5,600, but provide for a somewhat smaller increase in the tax rate allocated for the OASI portion, thus decreasing
receipts to the old-age and survivors trust fund duringfiscalyear 1966.
The tax rate for the disability trust fund will be increased slightly.
Proposed expenditure increases relate to a proposed 7% increase in
cash benefits paid by both funds retroactive to Jan. 1, 1965.
In addition, receipts of the old-age and survivors and disability insurance
trust funds are increased to reflect proposed legislation providing reimbursements for increased expenses due to military service credits.
The number receiving monthly benefits under existing law at the end of
eachfiscalyear are estimated as follows (in thousands):

personnel, expanded general employment services, and intensified
counseling and other services provided youths by the employment

War I) life insurance funds will cover 5 million policies, $32.4 billion
of insurance in force at end of 1966. Premium receipts and interest
earned thereon are available for the payment of liabilities. The decrease in expenditures results from the acceleration of dividends into
1964 and 1965. Fund balances are in U.S. securities; assets exceeded
actuarial liabilities by $94.6 million on June 30, 1964.
Increase in expenditures in 1966 is due to the proposed payment to
"Compensation and pensions" of the balance of the adjusted service
certificate fund. NOA is mainly receipts of the general post trust
fund, used for the welfare of veterans at homes and hospitals.

The Railroad retirement system serves as a combined social insurance
and staff retirement system for workers in the railroad industry.
Increased tax receipts result from a scheduled increase in retirement
tax rates effective in January 1966, and anticipated higher taxable
salaries. Proposed changes in existing law will require additional
taxes to cover hospital insurance and certain selected increased benefits
to certain railroad beneficiaries. Expenditures are primarily for cash
increases since hospital benefits begin July 1, 1966. Trust fund balances are invested in interest-bearing U.S. securities. The number
receiving monthly benefits at the end of each year is as follows (in

SPECIAL ANALYSIS A

THREE MEASURES OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS
Data on Government financial transactions are used for many
purposes. No single set of accounts can serve all purposes equally
well. As a result, various budget concepts and forms have been developed to meet different needs. The three measures of Federal
receipts and expenditures most commonly used are: (1) the administrative budget, (2) the consolidated cash statement of Federal transactions, and (3) the Federal sector of the national income accounts.
A reconciliation of these three measures is presented in table A-l.
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET

The administrative budget covers receipts and expenditures of
funds owned by the Federal Government—the general fund, special
funds, public enterprise funds, and intragovernmental revolving and
management funds. Interfund transactions between these Federal
accounts are excluded from the total while business-type activities
(such as the Post Office) are normally recorded as "net expenditures."
Although budget documents placed before the Congress have
regularly included both federally owned funds and funds held in
trust by the Government, only the former have been traditionally
used to calculate budget totals. For many years, the administrative
budget served as the principal financial plan for conducting the
affairs of Government. It represented a focal point for management
and decision making with respect to Government activities. As long
as almost all Federal financial transactions were carried out with
federally owned funds, the administrative budget provided adequate
coverage.
In recent years, however, trust fund operations have grown rapidly.
Several major parts of the Government's program are now carried
out through trust funds, particularly those for labor, welfare, and
highway activities. This means that the flow of financial transactions
between the Federal Government and the public is considerably
larger than is suggested by the administrative budget.
CONSOLIDATED CASH STATEMENT

The consolidated cash statement of Federal receipts and payments
is designed to show more fully the flow of cash transactions (excluding
borrowing) between the Federal Government and the public. It is
more comprehensive and complete than the administrative budget
in that it includes the receipts and expenditures of trust funds as
well as funds wholly owned by the Federal Government. Since the
consolidated cash statement measures the flow of cash between the
public and the Government, intragovernmental transactions (transactions between budget and trust fund accounts) are excluded.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966
FEDERAL SECTOR OF THE NATIONAL INCOME ACCOUNTS

The Federal sector of the national income and product accounts is
designed to provide a measure of the direct impact of Federal fiscal
activity on the Nation's current flow of income and output.
Like the consolidated cash statement, the Federal sector account
includes most administrative budget and trust fund transactions.
However, in contrast both to the consolidated cash statement and
the administrative budget, only those receipts and expenditures
which directly affect the current flow of income and output are
recorded. Therefore, the Federal sector of the income and product
accounts excludes transactions involving purely financial claims
(such as loans) and exchanges of secondhand or existing assets. Such
transactions represent neither the production of current output nor
incomes, even though they have indirect effects on the level or composition of economic activity.
Both the administrative budget and consolidated cash statement
count business tax receipts, like other receipts, as they are collected.
In contrast, the Federal sector account records some tax receipts,
particularly corporate income taxes, as they accrue, on the ground
that the main economic impact of these taxes is more closely associated
with the accrual of liabilities than with actual cash collections. Also,
the Federal sector records most purchases of goods and services when
delivery is made, while the administrative budget records most
expenditures at the time checks are issued and the consolidated cash
statement when funds are withdrawn from Treasury accounts (cash
or checks-paid).
USES ASTD LIMITATIONS

Each of the three measures—the administrative budget, consolidated cash statement, and the Federal sector of the national income
and product accounts—is useful for specific kinds of analysis, and the
selection of which to use should be determined by the problem at hand.
The administrative budget provides a useful measure of the
Government's operations which are financed by the Government's
own funds.
The Federal sector account is especially suited for an analysis of
fiscal policy. It was specifically designed to complement the data on
private expenditures and incomes contained in the national income
accounts.
The national income accounts, however, exclude a substantial
volume of financial transactions through which the Federal Government significantly affects the capital and credit markets. Moreover,
in financial markets, the flow of cash payments to the Government
may be more significant than the accrual of tax liabilities. As a result, the consolidated cash statement is generally more useful than
the national income accounts for determining Government financing
and net borrowing requirements and for analyzing the Federal impact
on money and credit.
For certain types of problems, no overall measure of receipts and
expenditures will serve adequately. Since the various receipt and
expenditure transactions have different economic effects, a given




SPECIAL ANALYSES

359

aggregate will have an economic impact which depends importantly
on the composition of the total.
In addition, many Government transactions besides receipts and
expenditures affect the economy. For example, a rapid expansion in
new appropriations and in Government orders could stimulate a rise
in business activity well before either the delivery of goods, the performance of services, or the payment for them. The management of
public debt is a further factor which has a significant impact in the
money and credit markets of the economy. Consequently, in evaluating the economic impact of Federal Government activities, there
is no substitute for complete and detailed analysis of the Government
program in all its aspects.
RELATIONSHIP OF CONSOLIDATED CASH STATEMENT TO THE
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET

Certain adjustments are needed to derive the consolidated cash
statement from administrative budget totals, as summarized in
table A-l.
1. Trust funds.—The consolidated cash statement covers the
financial transactions of Federal trust funds (including Governmentsponsored enterprises) in addition to administrative budget receipts
and expenditures. Accordingly, excise taxes that support the highway
trust fund, employment taxes, deposits by States for unemployment insurance, veterans life insurance premiums, and other trust fund receipts
are included along with the corresponding trust fund disbursements.
2. Intragovernmental transactions.—Administrative budget receipts
include amounts paid into the Treasury by trust funds. (These
amounts are also reported as trust fund expenditures.) Similarly,
there are trust fund receipts, such as interest on trust fund holdings
of U.S. securities, which are also reported as administrative budget
expenditures. In consolidating the transactions of budget and trust
funds, these intragovernmental transactions are eliminated from the
combined receipts and expenditures since no exchange of cash with
the public is involved in these operations.

3. Exercise of monetary authority.—These receipts now come mostly
from seigniorage; that is, they represent the difference between the
cost of the metal and minting of coins, on the one hand, and the actual
value of the coins as money on the other. Seigniorage is included in
administrative budget receipts, but is not a cash receipt from the
public.
4. Debt issuance in lieu of checks.—In a few cases, Government
expenditures are made by issuing bonds or notes, or increasing the
value of bonds outstanding in lieu of issuing checks. Such transactions are recorded in the administrative budget as expenditures when
the debt is thus increased, even though no cash outflow takes place
until the debt instrument is redeemed.
For example, the administrative budget records interest on savings
bonds when it accrues (and is added to the redemption value currently
payable) rather than when it is actually paid. In computing cash
payments to the public, interest payments are included only when the
bonds are cashed. Therefore, an adjustment is made for the difference
between the amount of interest accrued and the amount paid.

A second example involves transactions in special notes used to pay
certain U.S. Government obligations. The Government has paid a
portion of its subscriptions to the International Monetary Fund, the
International Development Association, and the Inter-American Development Bank in non-interest-bearing notes. The notes are considered administrative budget expenditures and become part of the
public debt when they are issued. However, they are not counted as
a payment to the public until they are redeemed for cash, at which
time they cease to be part of the public debt. Conversely, when the
institutions return cash to the Treasury in exchange for notes, payments to the public are reduced by the amount of the cash receipts
and a corresponding increase in the public debt takes place.
5. Changes in outstanding checks.—Administrative budget and trust
fund expenditures are recorded at the time checks are issued. To
reflect more accurately the point in time at which cash payments
actually affect Treasury cash balances, an adjustment is made to
place expenditures on a checks-paid basis.
FEDERAL SECTOR ACCOUNTS—DEFINITIONS
OTHER MEASURES

AND RELATIONSHIP TO

The national income accounts, as developed and prepared by the
Department of Commerce's Office of Business Economics, is a dualentry accounting system for making estimates of the current productive activity of U.S. residents.1
The output side of the national income accounts depicts the total
market value of currently produced goods and services, classified
by type of expenditures: consumer expenditures; gross private
domestic investment in new construction, equipment, and inventories;
Federal, State, and local government purchases of goods and services;
1 The accounts are discussed in detail in the Department of Commerce's National Income, 1954
edition, pp. 143-149, and U.S. Income and Output, 1958 edition, pp. 53-57, and 99-101. Each is a
"Supplement to the Survey of Current Business." Current estimates on a quarterly and an annual
basis are provided in the Survey of Current Business and in the Economic Indicators.




362

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

and net exports. The total, obtained by summing these items, is
called the gross national product (GNP).
The total value of the gross national product is balanced by an equal
amount of gross income earned in producing the output. 2 The income
side of the accounts portrays this total, classified by type of income; for
example, wages and salaries, proprietors' income, corporate profits,
rent, and net interest and certain costs of production, such as depreciation and indirect business taxes. The income accounts also
provide additional data showing various transfers of income from one
sector to another, such as business gifts to nonprofit institutions and
social security benefits from the Government to individuals.
The term "residents" is defined to include the Federal Government
as well as State and local governments, corporations incorporated
under U.S. laws (but not their foreign branches or subsidiaries),
individuals employed in the United States proper, and U.S. citizens
employed by the Federal Government abroad (civilian as well as
military). "Nonresidents" include governments, individuals (other
than employees of the Federal Government), and businesses in foreign
countries, as well as in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and other
U.S. possessions.
It should be pointed out that national income data, although based
on accounting statements of economic units, are statistical aggregates
rather than accounting totals in the ordinary sense.
Federal receipts.—Federal receipts on a national income basis are
classified into the following four categories: (1) personal tax and nontax
receipts, (2) corporate profits tax accruals, (3) indirect business tax
and nontax accruals, and (4) receipts from contributions for social
insurance. Personal tax and nontax receipts consist mostly of individual income taxes, estate and gift taxes, fines, penalties, and charges
for Government services. Corporate profits tax accruals represent
the Federal tax liability incurred and accrued by resident corporations
on their corporate earnings during the specified year or period.
Federal corporation income tax collections do not necessarily coincide
with—and usually lag—accruals. Indirect business tax and nontax
accruals consist primarily of excise taxes, customs duties, Federal
receipts from rent and royalties, and other charges to business.
Receipts from contributions for social insurance are composed chiefly
of employment taxes, contributions to the retirement funds for
Government employees, and deposits by the States to the unemployment trust fund.
Federal expenditures.—Federal expenditures on a national income
basis are classified in the following five categories: (1) Purchases of
goods and services, (2) transfer payments, (3) grants-in-aid to State
and local governments, (4) net interest paid, and (5) subsidies less
current surplus of Government enterprises. The definitions of the
categories have been developed by the Department of Commerce
consistent with the framework of accounts covering the Nation's total
economic activity.
1. Purchase of goods and services.—These purchases represent the
value of the Nation's currently produced output bought directly by
* "Grot* income" includes capital consumption allowances and certain charges against production.




SPECIAL ANALYSES

363

the Federal Government. They are reported in the national income
accounts net of Government sales.
Purchases include the pay of active military and civilian employees
of the Federal Government, employer contributions to retirement,
insurance and other benefits for Federal employees, outlays on new
equipment and supplies for defense and other programs, new construction, research and development contracts with corporations organized
for profit, expenditures for the purchase of commodities (even if the
commodities are then donated or transferred, domestically or abroad),
and generally, the administrative expenses of Government programs.
2. Transfer payments.—Transfer payments consist of expenditures
by the Federal Government for which no current output or services
have been rendered; in other words, they are payments to certain
recipients for which no contribution to national production is made
during the time period under consideration. There are two important
criteria which must be met by an expenditure classified as a transfer
payment: (a) the recipient must be an individual, a nonprofit institution, or a nonresident (for example, a foreign government) and (b) the
expenditure must also be in monetary form and not in the form of goods
or commodities.
Examples of transfer payments are: veterans compensation, pensions, and benefits; retired pay to Federal civilian or military personnel; unemployment benefits; old-age, survivors, and disability
insurance; cash gifts and contributions to nonresidents; nonrepayable
outlays for scholarships and fellowships; and research and development expenditures to private nonprofit institutions. Although such
transfer payments do not directly enter GNP calculations, they do
enter into the income stream and have an impact on national output
when respent by the recipients.
For national income purposes, net interest paid to nonresidents is
considered a transfer payment. All other transactions involving interest expenditures and receipts (that is, to and from residents) are
reported in the net interest paid category.
3. Grants-in-aid to State and local governments.—Grants, for purposes of the national income accounts, are Federal payments to State
and local governments (other than for interest on the public debt),
including State and local educational institutions. Most of the grantsin-aid and the shared revenues in Special Analysis I of the budget
are included in grants. Excluded, however, are items such as |a)
outlays to nonprofit and privately owned hospitals, Ob) outlays-inkind such as farm commodities distributed to State ana local government units, and (c) payments to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and
other possessions. Payments to public educational institutions for
research and development contracts are recorded as grants. Like
transfer payments and net interest paid, Federal grants-in-aid are
counted in the GNP when respent by recipients—in this case, as
purchases by State and local governments.
4. Net interest paid.—Net interest pajd consists of the interest
outlays to residents minus the interest received from them.
5. Subsidies less current surplus of Government enterprises.—This
category consists of two elements which are consolidated for analytical
and statistical reasons: (a) subsidy payments to resident businesses,




364

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

and (b) the "current surplus" or "deficit," as the case may be, of
Government enterprises.
(a) In principle, a Government expenditure becomes a subsidy when
it enables a producer to sell goods and services below the cost-price
relationship determined by market forces or when it is a payment
made to curtail production. By definition, therefore, subsidies are
made only to businesses organized for profitmaking purposes (including farms). Examples of subsidies are Government payments
to farmers for land retirement, certain outlays for the export of surplus
agricultural commodities by business, payments to air carriers, and
the operating differential subsidy of the Maritime Administration.
(b) Government enterprise is the term applied to those functions
of the Government (usually appearing in the budget as public enterprise revolving funds) whose operating costs are to a great extent
covered by the sale of goods and services to the public, as opposed
to being financed by tax receipts. In short, Government enterprises
conduct operations which are of a commercial nature. In the national
income accounts, part of their operations are reported in the business
sector and part in the Federal sector. The Federal sector accounts
cover their interest expenses, outlays for capital formation and the
difference between sales and operating costs.

Relationship to the consolidated cash statement.—There are

a number of important differences between the Federal sector account
and the consolidated cash statement. These are shown in table A - l .
1. Coverage.—With respect to coverage, the Federal Government
part of the income and product accounts excludes the revenues and
expenditures of the District of Columbia, which are classified by the
Department of Commerce in the State and local government sector.
2. Netting and consolidation.—The Federal sector account records
both interest paid by the Government and Government purchases on
a net basis. Accordingly, interest received by the Government is
excluded from cash receipts and is netted against Federal interest
payments. Similarly, receipts from sales of Government products
are netted against Government purchases. Neither adjustment
influences the surplus or deficit, for in effect, both receipts and expenditures are decreased by the same amount.
Adjustments for consolidation are needed to maintain consistency
with income and product account concepts. For example, a few
transactions such as employer and employee'contributions to Federal
employees' retirement funds are excluded from the consolidated cash
statement as intragovernmental transactions. In the national
income accounts, however, these contributions are considered to be
part of the total compensation of Government employees. Again,
the deficit or suplus is unaffected by the adjustment, since total
receipts and expenditures are both increased by the same amount.
3. Timing.—Business taxes are recorded in the national income
accounts as they are accrued by the private sector, rather than when
they are collected by the Government. The principal timing adjustments for expenditures are: (a) The Federal sector account records
Federal purchases in terms of the delivery of goods and services to the
Government, whereas cash payments for these deliveries may precede




SPECIAL ANALYSES

365

or follow; (b) Commodity Credit Corporation certificates of interest
which represent shares in Commodity Credit Corporation commodity
loans are recorded as commodity purchases when the certificates are
issued, rather than when the collateral is surrendered; (c) interest
on savings bonds and Treasury bills is treated as an expenditure in
the Federal sector account when the interest is accrued, rather than
when it is actually paid out in cash; and (d) certain foreign currency
activities of the Commodity Credit Corporation also require an
adjustment—the Corporation facilitates exports of surplus agricultural
commodities by paying dollars to exporters, in exchange for foreign
currencies received for the exports. Expenditures in the Federal
sector account are recorded only at the time these foreign currencies
are subsequently used for Government programs. The consolidated
cash statement, on the other hand, includes the dollar payments to
exporters but excludes both the receipt and the subsequent expenditure
of a large part of these foreign currencies.
4. Capital transactions.—In the consolidated cash statement, many
capital or financial transactions are included in receipts and expenditures. The Federal sector account excludes these transactions
since they do not affect current production or income. Accordingly,
an adjustment is made to exclude items such as loans, mortgages,
and other financial claims. Also excluded are purchases and sales
of existing assets, such as land and secondhand property.




SPECIAL ANALYSIS B

PUBLIC ENTERPRISES, TRUST FUNDS, AND GROSS EXPENDITURES
OF THE GOVERNMENT

This analysis presents selected information on the public enterprise
funds and the trust funds with special reference to financing. It also
covers certain receipts and reimbursements from outside the Treasury
to general fund appropriations and other accounts which are netted
in the administrative budget expenditures, and it indicates the magnitude of total expenditures if such netting did not occur. Additional
tables in this special analysis relating to borrowing and investments
in U.S. securities are an integral part of the computation of the
changes in public debt in table 11 of part 2 of the budget.
PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FUNDS

The public enterprise funds are federally owned funds which carry
on a cycle of operations, primarily with the public, organized usually
on a business-type basis. Some of them are incorporated enterprises;
others are unincorporated. Their expenditures have been included,
on a net basis, in the administrative budget for many years. The
general fund usually supplies them with capital; the provision of such
capital, its return, and any dividends given to the general fund are
not counted in the budget totals as expenditures or receipts.
Expenditures and receipts.—Gross expenditures of public enterprise
funds are estimated to be $22.3 billion in 1966, and their receipts will
be $19.7 billion (table B-l), resulting in net expenditures of $2.6 billion
which are included in the administrative budget totals. The Commodity Credit Corporation and the postal fund together account for
somewhat more than half of the transactions. The figures for both
1965 and 1966 take account of both existing and proposed legislation.
The expenditures in table B-l include certain interfund payments
to the general fund, principally for interest (see note at end of table
14). The receipts shown in table B-l are generally from the public;
but they include some transactions from within the Government—
notably, the sales of Commodity Credit Corporation inventories
and services to appropriations for special activities, accounting for
$1.9 billion of the Commodity Credit Corporation receipts shown for
1966. The sales of Tennessee Valley Authority power to Government
agencies, payments by all agencies to the Post Office for postal services,
and interest paid to certain funds on their investments are other
examples of such intragovernmental receipts included in table B - l .

Includes advances from foreign assistance and special export programs of $1,889 million in 1964,
$2,554 million in 1965, and $1,738 million in 1966.

Capital and borrowing.—Capital requirements of the public enterprise funds are usually supplied through new obligational authority
(either appropriations or some other form of NOA) from the general
fund. While most public enterprise funds are operated to be selfsustaining over a period of years, the largest—the Commodity Credit
Corporation—has incurred substantial losses in most years. Appropriations have been made regularly to make up for the loss in this fund,
the postal deficit, and other losses in a few smaller funds. Contract
authorizations have also been provided for the Commodity Credit
Corporation and for the Urban Renewal Fund of the Housing and
Home Finance Agency. Table B-2 reflects all such new obligational
authority.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

TRUST FUNDS

The trust funds are administered in a fiduciary capacity by the
Government. They are not included in the administrative budget
totals, and transactions between the general fund and the trust funds
are conducted "at arm's length"—that is, payments between them are
reported as expenditures and receipts of the funds involved.
Expenditures and receipts.—Trust fund expenditures are estimated
to be $32.9 billion in 1966, with receipts of $33.6 billion, as shown in
table B-4. The transactions of the Federal old-age and survivors
insurance fund are slightly more than half of the totals.

oyer, to the employee retirement funds. On occasion the general
advances money to trusts, e.g., the unemployment trust fund,
e repaid at a later date. Payments from the administrative

OVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES AND ANNEXED BUDGETS

us budget includes with the trust fund expenditures certain
factions of five Government-sponsored enterprises, stated on a
3asis. The transactions thus reported relate to investments in
securities and debt issuance for which the Treasury acts as fiscal
t; amounts equal to the net debt issuance or net disinvestments of
enterprises are used as an estimate of net expenditures.
Le budget appendix includes detailed budget statements with
>ct to seven self-supporting activities, including three of the
jrnment-sponsored enterprises just mentioned, and four other
ities. (In the case of one of the latter, the Exchange stabilization
, estimates for the years 1965 and 1966 are incomplete.) TableB-7

OTHER EXCLUSIONS FROM ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET RECEIPTS

The law permits certain collections to be credited as reimbursements
to general fund appropriations. Such collections from outside the administrative budget accounts are identified in the detailed schedules
of the budget appendix as reimbursements from "non-Federal sources/'
distinguishing them from reimbursements within the administrative
budget sector. The intragovernmental revolving and management
funds also have some receipts from outside the Government. Table
B-8 reflects the estimated amount of such collections which are
credited to appropriations or to intragovernmental funds.

BORROWING OTHER THAN FROM THE GENERAL FUND

The Tennessee Valley Authority has authority to borrow $750
million from the public. The Federal Housing Administration has
an indefinite authorization to issue short-term debentures in connection with its settlements. The Federal National Mortgage Association trust revolving fund has authority to issue its own debt instruments in an amount equal to 10 times the aggregate of its capital
and retained earnings. The District of Columbia Armory Board
was authorized to issue bonds for the financing of the stadium completed in 1961. A few funds in liquidation are retiring earlier debt is-

suances. Government-sponsored enterprises also have their own
borrowing authority. Some Government enterprise debt is guaranteed by the Treasury; some is not formally guaranteed. Borrowing
and repayments pursuant to these authorities are shown in table B-10.
A small portion of such borrowing is from other funds; the larger
part is from the public and in effect reduces the Treasury borrowing
from the public (see table 11 of part 2).

SPECIAL ANALYSIS C

CIVILIAN EMPLOYMENT IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
EMPLOYMENT TOTALS

Between June 1963 and June 1964, Federal civilian employment in
the executive branch was reduced by 21,000 to a total of 2,469,000.
It is expected to be at approximately the same level in June 1965—
a level 43,000 fewer than had been anticipated for that date a year
ago.
Decreasing the employment levels while providing ever-increasing levels of service required vigorous action by agency managers to
improve manpower management and raise the level of employee
productivity.
The 1966 budget estimates that by June 1966 civilian employment
will reach 2,496,000, up about 1% over the present estimate for June
1965 but still 15,000 below the number estimated last January as
needed for June 1965. This estimate includes the substantial numbers of new employees needed for such recently enacted programs as
the attack on poverty, and for the new programs being proposed by
the President, such as hospital insurance, Appalachia, and elementary
and secondary education. It also provides for manpower to meet
increased workloads for the postal service, internal revenue service,
public health, and many other programs.

Consists of Economic opportunity program, Appalachia program, and allowance for contingencies, all subject to later distribution.

Administration. Another 15% is found in the Departments of Agri376

culture; Treasury; Health, Education, and Welfare; and Interior.
The remaining 15% is accounted for by more than 50 smaller agencies
of the Government. The totals for all of the larger agencies are
shown in table 12 in part 2 of this budget.
The most significant changes in 1966 employment over 1965 are
shown in table C-l. Of the total increase of 26,680, approximately
80%, or 20,500, is for the Post Office. The bulk of the added Post
Office employment, approximately 15,000 in number, is required to
reduce the inordinate amount of overtime which many postal employees have been regularly scheduled to work—in some cases amounting
to a regular workweek in excess of 70 hours. An estimated 3 %
increase in mail volume, offset by continued advance in productivity,
accounts for the remaining increase in postal employment. In
addition—
• The Department of Defense anticipates a decline of 19,000
workers by June 1966 as a result of improvements in management,
including the closing of unneeded facilities.
• The increase for the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare employment is needed to service a greater volume of oldage, survivors', and dependents' insurance claims; to accelerate
efforts to reduce air and water pollution; to provide more comprehensive drug regulation; and to implement the new proposals for
hospital insurance for the aged.
• Rising workloads in internal revenue operations and another step
in the program to improve taxpayer compliance largely account for
the increase in the Treasury Department.
• The increase in the Department of Agriculture is principally to
provide for uncontrollable workload in meat inspections, Farmers
Home loan and guarantee activities, visitors to the National Forests,
and to continue work on going watershed projects; it also provides
strengthening of high priority research and forest land management
and for necessary expansion of comprehensive river basin surveys.
• The growth in the Department of the Interior is principally to
take care of an increasing number of visitors to the National Parks,
to provide for higher enrollment in Indian schools, and to expand
power transmission lines in the Northwest to meet treaty commitments with Canada on the use of Columbia River water.
• Other increases are in the General Services Administration to
meet greater workloads in the operation of additional public buildings, and supply support activities; in the Tennessee Valley Authority to provide for the operation of power units being completed
and for construction for new water resource facilities; and in other
agencies to meet requirements for expanded services.
Of the 26,680 increase estimated for 1966 in civilian employment in
the executive branch, 15,000 are in permanent full-time positions and
the remainder are in temporary, part-time, and intermittent
jobs. Temporary positions (on a full-time basis) include those established for a limited period of less than a year and "career substitutes"
of the Post Office (the number above the basic complement of permanent postal jobs). Part-time employees are those on a less-thanregular workweek. Intermittent employees are those who work on
an irregular or unscheduled basis.




378

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Over nine-tenths of executive branch civilian employment consists
of permanent full-time employees. The part-time and intermittent
workers are included in the count of Federal employees each month,
along with the permanent full-time workers, even though a number of
them work as little as one day during the month.

for June 1965, and 5,170,000 for June 1966. In addition, the employment of the legislative and judicial branches in June 1964 was

EMPLOYMENT TRENDS AND COMPARISONS

With the continued growth in population, in national income, and
in economic activity generally, there has been a concomitant
growth in the volume of public services which the Government is
called upon to render. In the fiscal year 1966, for example, the
number of passports applied for will rise 10%; coins minted will increase
16%; subsidized school lunches served will be up 6%; takeoffs and landings at airports served by Federal towers will increase 6%; establishments with Federal meat inspectors will rise 6%; tax returns




379

SPECIAL ANALYSES

filed will grow by 2%; the number of pieces of mail deposited in the
Post Office will be up 3 % ; and customs inspections of packages will
rise 4%.
These and other increased demands for services can be accommodated only by increased productivity or additional workers, or a
combination of both.
Under the leadership of the President, a concerted effort has been
underway to utilize Federal employees more effectively, to improve
work methods and organization, and through the resulting improvements in productivity to hold Federal employment to the lowest
possible levels.
Over the past decade, in fact, Federal civilian employment has not
risen in step with related factors. For example:
• In 1954 there were 14.6 Federal civilian employees for every 1,000
people in the Nation; in 1964 this number was reduced to 12.9 and
it is expected to decline still further to 12.6 in 1966.
• In 1954, one out of every three public civilian employees worked
for the Federal Government, and the other two for State or local
government units. In 1964, this ratio was one out of four, and it
will continue to drop.

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF EMPLOYMENT

Table C-4 presents data on the geographical distribution of Federal
employment. Most Federal employees—almost 84%—work in the
various States. A little over 10% are located in the Washington,
D.C., metropolitan area (including nearby Maryland and Virginia).
An additional 6% are in foreign countries and in U.S. territories and
possessions. Federal employment in foreign countries has decreased
by 3,100 since 1960. This has benefited our balance of payments
position, as well as reducing costs.

Includes annexed budget agencies.

The obligations to be incurred for civilian personnel compensation
and benefits in 1966 are estimated at $19.3 billion.
Some of the personnel are employed by trust funds (such as old-age
and survivors insurance) and some are employed by public enterprise
funds (such as the Post Office). After deducting for the costs of such
employees, the remaining personnel costs are $14.0 billion.
Government pay scales for "blue-collar" workers have for many
years been subject to administrative adjustment to correspond to pay
for comparable work in private industry; as wages in private industry
advanced, Federal compensation for such workers also increased.
Pay for most other Federal workers has been set by statute. In
1962, the Congress adopted the principle of comparability for such
positions, and in pay scale changes effective in October 1962, January 1964, and July 1964, significant progress has been made toward
the achievement of comparability. The compensation figures reflect
such changes, as well as changes in the number of employees.
There have also been changes in the position structure which have
affected the average salary and the total compensation. Chiefly,
these are the result of changes in the character of the Government's




SPECIAL ANALYSES

383

workload and in the level of employee skills required to deal with it.
For example, as a result of increasing specialization and greater
emphasis on research and development, the number of engineers in
the Federal service grew 116%, and the number of physical scientists
66%, in the period from 1954 through 1964. During this period, the
Government's need for professional medical personnel rose 62% and
for biological scientists, 34%. At the same time, the expanded efforts
to reduce employment and to increase productivity—in many cases
by shifting from manual to semiautomatic or automatic processing
methods—have decreased the need for unskilled employees. For
example, employees in the lowest three grades of the Classification
Act went down in number from 203,000 to 164,000 between June
1960, and June 1964. These are all valid reasons for the increasing
average salary of Government employees.
Of course, vigilance is required to assure that Federal agencies do
not adopt top-heavy organization and position structures, producing
unwarranted increases in average salaries. Resistance to this tendency should be made easier as application of the comparability
principle decreases the pressure to upgrade Federal jobs in order to
make them competitive in the labor market. In the preparation of
the 1966 budget, special attention has been given to salary trends and
the number of positions in the higher grades. Special efforts have
been made to avoid unjustified increases, and in some cases actual
reductions have been planned.




SPECIAL ANALYSIS

D

INVESTMENT, OPERATING, AND OTHER EXPENDITURES

This analysis is designed to contribute to a greater understanding of
Government activities by dividing Federal administrative budget and
trust fund expenditures into several categories: (1) additions to
Federal assets; (2) additions to State, local, and private assets; (3)
developmental expenditures; (4) current expenses for aids and special
services; (5) retirement and social insurance benefits (trust funds
only); (6) other services and current operating expenses; and (7) unclassified (trust fund expenditures which do not properly belong in any
of the other categories). In each category where applicable, national
defense expenditures are reported separately from those for all other
(civil) programs.
Basically, this analysis distinguishes between two types of expenditures: Those yielding benefits primarily in the future and those providing benefits largely in the year in which they are made. The
former are essentially outlays of an investment nature while the latter
are principally current expenses for aids, special services, and social
insurance benefits. Expenditures yielding benefits over a period of
years are shown in the first three classes, while outlays providing
mainly current benefits are grouped in the remaining categories.
Expenditures from administrative budget funds are shown separately from trust funds in tables D - l and D-2. The sum of the budget
and trust fund totals is greater than the total of cash payments to
the public primarily because there are intragovernmental transactions.
1. Additions to Federal assets.—This category includes administrative budget expenditures for direct loans, such as loans to finance
private housing construction and encourage home ownership, to help
small businesses, to finance college dormitory construction, to aid farm
ownership and operation, to finance rural electric and telephone
systems, and to promote economic development abroad. (Most of
these programs are included in the budget total on a net basis; that is,
gross disbursements less receipts.) It also includes financial investments in certain international organizations and mixed-ownership
enterprises, and expenditures for public works, for changes in major
commodity inventories, for major equipment (including military
equipment), and for the acquisition and improvement of real property
and other physical assets.
Trust fund expenditures in this category consist primarily of mortgage purchases (net of sales) by the Federal National Mortgage
Association in support of its secondary mortgage market operations,
and net loans by two Government-sponsored enterprises—banks for
cooperatives and the Federal intermediate credit banks.
2. Additions to State, local, and private assets.—Federal outlays
under this heading add to State, local, and private assets. Grant384

in-aid expenditures which augment the physical assets of State and
local governments are primarily for the construction of highways
(mainly through the Highway trust fund), hospitals, airports, wastetreatment works, watershed protection projects, schools in federally
affected areas, and public facilities under the area redevelopment
program and the temporary accelerated public works program.
Federal expenditures which increase the value of privately owned
assets are largely for the conservation and improvement of private
farm land and water, for grants to States for the building of private
hospitals and other health facilities, and for construction subsidies to
the merchant fleet. Trust fund expenditures in this category, in
addition to the highway program, include the net loans made by the
Federal land banks and the Federal home loan banks (Governmentsponsored enterprises in which the Federal Government no longer
holds any capital stock); these loans strengthen lending institutions
which promote farming and individual home ownership.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

3. Developmental expenditures.—Federal expenditures of this type
include outlays principally for research and development, education
and health, and other programs which increase the Nation's fund of
knowledge and technical skills and improve the physical vigor of the
population. The total of Federal spending shown in this category
does not fully reflect the Government's contribution to the productivity of the economy, since it excludes additions to physical assets, as
well as certain other programs which further this end. The latter
are classified in accordance with their principal purpose; thus, veterans
educational benefits are listed as veterans aids rather than as developmental outlays. Similarly, the training of military personnel or other
Government personnel is treated as an operating expense and not as
part of the Government's education and training programs.
4. Current expenses for aids and special services.—Expenditures
classified under this heading provide aids or special services to certain
groups—mainly in the year in which the outlays are made. In addition to such items as realized losses of the Commodity Credit Corporation on its farm programs, maritime operating subsidies, veterans
pensions, and grants to foreign nations for economic and military
assistance, this category includes (a) administrative and other operating expenses attributable to investment-type programs which benefit
specific groups, and (b) the costs of maintaining the physical assets
related to those programs.
Only part of the Federal Government's aid to special groups is
reflected in this classification, which is limited by definition to current
expenses. For example, subsidies for the construction of private
merchant ships are classified as additions to private assets. Similarly,
outlays for which the Federal Government receives assets or collateral
(as the acquisition of farm commodities by the Commodity Credit
Corporation) are treated as additions to Federal assets. Many
indirect Government aids are excluded from this classification either
because they are not reflected in expenditures or cannot be readily
measured. Examples of such indirect benefits include low interest
rates on some loans and certain preferential tax treatments.
Although expenditures in this category essentially provide a direct
aid or special service yielding immediate benefits, some of the outlays
included contribute indirectly to the Nation's future development.
Among these are grants for slum clearance and urban renewal.
5. Retirement and social insurance benefits.—This category applies
only to trust funds. It covers benefit programs which (a) are financed from special taxes or contributions and (b) provide insurance
against the loss of income due to unemployment, retirement, disability,
or death. It does not include Government employees' health and
life insurance expenditures, which are in the form of subscription and
premium payments to approved private companies. It also excludes
such noncontributory programs as public assistance grants, military
retired pay, and veterans disability and death compensation and
pensions which are financed through the administrative budget.
6. Other services and current operating expenses.—The outlays reported under this heading support a wide range of activities. They
consist mainly of current expenditures for: Pay and subsistence of




SPECIAL ANALYSES

387

military personnel; repair, maintenance, and operation of physical
assets of the national military establishment and general purpose
public buildings; conduct of foreign affairs; tax collection; payment of
interest on the national debt; and operation and administration of
other direct Federal programs not elsewhere classified.
7. Unclassified.—Certain trust fund expenditures represent financial transfers to other trust or budget accounts and cannot be properly
classified into any of the categories described above. Advances and
repayments between the Railroad retirement account and the Unemployment trust fund (for railroad unemployment benefits) are
examples of such transactions. This grouping also includes the
expenditures of the District of Columbia which are for the most part
locally financed, but are accounted for as a Federal trust fund.
Deposit fund transactions (net) are also included here.
Recoverability of expenditures.—In general, Government expenditures for assets are not expected to be recovered by specific revenues.
However, most loans, investment in commodity inventories, the construction of powerplants, and outlays for range and forest improvements on public domain and national forest lands are offset in whole
or in part by receipts to the Treasury through repayments and sales,
specific charges, or recoveries. Where such activities are carried on
through revolving funds, as in most loan programs, receipts are
credited directly against the expenditures and only the difference is
included in the expenditure total in the budget and in this analysis.
In other cases, the returns are included as miscellaneous receipts to the
Treasury rather than as offsets to expenditures.
Whether recovered by specific revenues or not, investment and
developmental expenditures in both physical and human capital add
to the wealth and income of the Nation and, by helping to expand the
tax base, augment the Government's potential future revenues.
However, this analysis does not attempt to measure the degree of
recoverability of these outlays, the potential gain in public revenues
which will be forthcoming from them, nor the duration of future
benefits and their discounted present value.
Comparison with capital accounting, budgeting, and funding.—The
purpose of this analysis is to provide a broad framework for understanding Federal expenditures, recognizing not only outlays to increase
physical capital and financial assets, but also developmental expenditures which represent an investment in human capital. It does not
distinguish precisely between capital and current items, although it
does provide useful general magnitudes. Moreover, it does not make
any allowance for depreciation and obsolescence on existing physical
assets, anticipated losses on loan programs, or profit or loss on sales of
assets at figures different from their book value. Agencies record such
allowances only for transactions where the data will serve program
and management needs, as in the case of the public enterprise funds.
As a result, it is not possible to determine directly from this analysis
the net addition to the value of federally owned assets.




388

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

This analysis is not a capital budget in the sense of a long-range
program for the acquisition of assets, or a plan for separate financing
of capital expenditures. Some foreign governments and some State
and local governments fund a portion of their capital expenditures by
separate borrowing and exclude most or all such expenditures from
their computation of budget totals, except for annual charges to
amortize these capital outlays over a number of years. The U.S.
budget, on the other hand, treats outlays for investment items and
for other purposes alike in computing the budget surplus or deficit.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS

E

FEDERAL CREDIT PROGRAMS
INTRODUCTION

Federal credit aids help achieve basic objectives of Government
programs in six major areas. Most important are the loan, loan
insurance, and loan guarantee programs for: (a) improvement of private housing and encouragement of home ownership; (b) development
of agricultural and other natural resources; and (c) promotion of
economic development abroad. In addition, Federal credit programs
provide significant assistance for: (d) domestic business, e.g., small
business generally, transportation, and commercial fisheries; (e) community development and public housing; and (f) higher education.
Federal Credit Programs
New Commitments

These programs are intended to supplement, rather than to substitute for, private credit. In some cases, they fill gaps by providing
or stimulating a type of credit not otherwise generally available to
important groups of borrowers. Often they assume or share in risks
which private lenders, at least initially, cannot reasonably be expected
to undertake. Similarly, the terms on which the assistance is provided
often are more liberal, with longer maturities, smaller downpayments,
or lower interest rates than are generally available otherwise. In
several programs, the loans are part of a package of Federal assistance.
404




SPECIAL ANALYSES

405

Such a package might also include, for example, grants to provide
necessary public facilities for depressed areas; grants for work-training,
education, and other types of community action to help combat
poverty; or technical aids to help underdeveloped countries plan and
construct basic transportation systems.
Unlike almost all other Government programs, the initial expenditures involved for credit programs are largely or wholly repayable,
so that the ultimate net cost is normally low. Some programs are
fully self-supporting; in most others, the income from interest payments or insurance and guarantee fees covers most of the current
expenses (including Treasury borrowing costs) and/or provides reserves
for future losses. Customarily, administrative expenses are paid from
income, but occasionally separate appropriations are made to finance
them. Thus, these programs are mainly methods of helping borrowers
to help themselves.
COVERAGE OF SPECIAL ANALYSIS

The number of types of assistance and the overall level of activity
in Federal credit programs have been gradually rising—as new programs are authorized by the Congress and existing programs broadened. At the same time, important changes in emphasis are occurring,
and programs established for temporary reasons in earlier years are
liquidating their operations as outstanding loans are repaid or privately
refinanced.
The analysis this year presents separate information on major
credit programs administered by seven cabinet departments and six
other agencies. Separate information is presented for the first time
on (a) the loans provided under the newly enacted nationwide antipoverty program, and (b) the various credit aids provided by the Public Health Service in the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare.
In addition, the 1966 estimates reflect recent enactment of legislation (a) broadening credit aids for education by the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare, (b) authorizing urban renewal
rehabilitation loans by the Housing and Home Finance Agency, (c)
providing for issuance and guarantees of participations in pools of
mortgage loans by the Housing and Home Finance Agency and the
Veterans Administration, and (d) broadening the existing credit
assistance available from the Housing and Home Finance Agency,
the Small Business
Administration, and the Agency for International
Development.1 Finally, the totals include preliminary estimates
of the probable effect of proposed legislation to authorize: (a) Federal insurance or guarantees of private credit to aid rural housing,
land development, college students, businesses in depressed areas,
group medical practice, and Indians and Indian enterprises; and (b)
sales of participations in pools of small business loans by the Small
Business Administration.2
The analysis includes (in tables E-2 and E-3) the total amounts,
but no detailed information, on outstanding loans and guarantees
and on net expenditures for numerous smaller or relatively inactive

See appendix A for further details.

Supplementary material containing brief summaries of each of the major programs (including
the major quasi-public credit programs) with emphasis on current developments is available on
request from the Bureau of the Budget.

credit programs administered by seven departments and five other
agencies; these account for about 0.3% of outstanding direct and guaranteed loans. Loan programs of important quasi-public agencies are
excluded from tables E - l to E-5, but their outstanding loans are
shown in table E-6. The analysis excludes borrowing from the
Treasury by other Federal agencies, whether for loans or other
programs.

advance indication of trends in the economic impact of these programs,
since changes in the level of new commitments usually precede corresponding changes in the volume of loans disbursed by either public
agencies or private lenders and in the purchase of goods and services
by the ultimate borrowers.
In this analysis, commitments are defined as approvals by Federal
agencies of direct loans or of insurance or guarantees of private loans.
They are shown on a gross basis, including administrative reservations or other commitments which do not later result in actual credit
extensions, as well as the unguaranteed portions of loans partially
covered by Federal guarantees.
Direct loans.—New commitments of $7.3 billion estimated for direct
loans in 1966 are $0.4 billion higher than the actual commitments
made in 1964. The largest increases expected are for mortgage purchases by the Federal National Mortgage Association and for loans
to foreign borrowers by the Export-Import Bank. The Bank and
the Agency for International Development will make over 40% of
new direct loan commitments in 1966; this assistance will be an
essential part of our economic development effort abroad. The
Commodity Credit Corporation expects to curtail sharply its direct
lending and to rely more heavily in both 1965 and 1966 on guaranteed bank loans to finance its price-support operations.
Guarantees and insurance.—New commitments for guarantees and
insurance of private loans will continue to rise to an estimated $25.5
billion in 1966, almost 75% more than the actual commitments made
5 years previous (in 1961). Over half of the total new commitments will be for housing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Of the total guarantee commitments, $1.7 billion in
1965 and $3.5 billion in 1966 represent guarantees by the Federal
National Mortgage Association and the Export-Import Bank of certificates of participation in pools of loans. Other major increases in
guarantee commitments reflect mainly new or proposed programs by
the Farmers Home Administration, the Agency for International
Development, and military assistance credit by the Department of
Defense.
Overlapping commitments.—The total estimated commitments in
1966 of $32.8 billion include several cases where two or more types
of Federal assistance are provided for the same borrower or on the
same property or project at different stages in the financing process.
Guarantees of certificates of participation in pools of loans represent
the most important type of such overlapping. Other major examples
include: (a) commitments by the Federal National Mortgage Association for purchase of mortgages insured or guaranteed by other
Federal agencies, and (b) commitments by the Public Housing Administration at successive stages in the financing of local low-rent
public housing.

Preliminary estimate, depending on availability of guarantees from non-Federal sources.

Outstanding direct loans will rise by $0.7 billion during 1965 and by
about the same amount in 1966. This relatively gradual rise over
the 2 years is the net result of major increases and decreases by several
large programs. Loans by the Agency for International Development will rise by an estimated $3.2 billion to a total of $10.6 billion
in 1966, almost a third of all direct loans outstanding. Other major




SPECIAL ANALYSES

409

increases occur in the college housing loan program administered by
the Community Facilities Administration and in the loan programs
of the Rural Electrification Administration and the Farmers Home
Administration.
On the other hand, the present emphasis on stimulating private
investment in these programs, either by direct sales or by sales of
participations in pools of loans, is expected to produce net reductions
of $3 billion over the 2-year period in outstanding loans of the Federal
National Mortgage Association, the Veterans Administration, and
the Export-Import Bank. For the same reason the Small Business
Administration, which normally increases its loan portfolio, will have
a sharp reduction in 1966. The Commodity Credit Corporation will
have a sizable decline in 1965 and a smaller one in 1966.
Guaranteed and insured loans outstanding are expected to rise by
$13.5 billion over the 2-year period, the most rapid increase in any
comparable period. The mortgage and property improvement loans
insured by the Federal Housing Administration will continue to account for more than half of the estimated $99.1 billion total outstanding in 1966. Outstanding guaranteed loans of the Veterans Administration will decline only modestly despite the gradual exhaustion
of eligibility by veterans. About $5 billion of the outstanding guarantees by the end of 1966 by all Government agencies will be guarantees of certificates of participations in pools of loans, or guarantees
of individual loans sold with recourse. These represent merely a
shift in the nature of the credit assistance provided rather than a net
increase in the total Federal risk.
The amounts shown include both the guaranteed and unguaranteed
portion of outstanding loans in order to give a clearer picture of the
economic impact of these programs and to tie in better with banking
statistics. Thus, they do not indicate the estimated contingent
liability of the Federal Government. The major program for which
the contingent liability differs materially from the principal amount
of the loans is the veterans loan guarantee program; by the end of
1966, the Government's liability will be about $13.4 billion lower than
the amount of guaranteed loans outstanding under that program
DISBURSEMENTS AND REPAYMENTS

Direct loans can have a major budgetary impact, since the difference
between disbursements and repayments represents net expenditures
or receipts. On the other hand, except to the extent that Federal
guarantees and insurance of private loans help to minimize direct
loans or to increase sales of such loans, they ordinarily have only a
minor effect on Federal expenditures. Net expenditures for Federal
credit assistance, in total, are relatively small, compared to the
economic impact of these programs.
Expenditures of all Government lending programs (with the major
exception of loans from trust funds or by quasi-public agencies) are
included in the administrative budget totals. In most currently
active loan programs, collections are offset directly against expenditures. In the case of the Rural Electrification Administration,
collections on loans are deposited to miscellaneous receipts, but
legislation is proposed to put this program on a revolving fund basis
beginning in 1965. In the case of foreign loans, disbursements and

SPECIAL ANALYSES

Gross loan disbursements of major credit programs are expected
to decline in 1965, and then to rise in 1966 to $9 billion, about $0.3
billion above actual outlays in 1964. Repayments, however, will rise
continuously. The $8.4 billion total estimated for 1966 represents
an increase of $1.8 billion over 1964. As a result, net expenditures
will decline from $2.2 billion in 1964 to $0.7 billion in 1966. After
adding in net expenditures for other credit programs and adjusting
for repayments directly to miscellaneous receipts, for loans in foreign
currencies, and for sales credit extensions involving no budget expenditures, net budget expenditures for loans in 1966 will amount to only
$367 million.
The steep reduction in the net budgetary impact expected in 1965
and 1966 results mainly from the increased substitution of private for
public credit primarily by the Federal National Mortgage Association,
the Veterans Administration, the Farmers Home Administration, and
the Small Business Administration.
PRIVATE PARTICIPATION IN CREDIT PROGRAMS

The relative importance of public and private credit varies greatly,
for different types of credit. Direct loans outstanding to domestic
private borrowers amounted to 2.0% of the estimated private debt
of $778 billion outstanding on June 30, 1964. 'Private loans partly
or wholly guaranteed by Federal agencies comprised 9.9% of the
total private debt on that date. Federal participation was much
higher in agricultural and housing credit; on the other hand, direct or
guaranteed loans provided only a fraction of 1% of the total credit
otherwise used by most types of private businesses.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Federal credit programs attempt to obtain private participation to
the maximum extent feasible. Guarantees and insurance of private
credit account for three-quarters of all new commitments and for
about the same proportion of outstanding Federal credit assistance.
These proportions are expected to increase slightly in 1965 and 1966.
Emphasis upon private participation is reflected both in the basic
statutes and in the administrative policies of the major credit programs. Often direct loans are prohibited except when the borrower
cannot otherwise obtain the funds from other sources on reasonable
terms. In two major programs (the Public Housing Administration
and the Urban Renewal Administration) the direct loans made are
customarily refinanced in whole or in part by private loans guaranteed
by th. e Federal agency. In four other programs (college housing and
public facility loans made by the Community Facilities Administration, b usiness loans by the Small Business Administration, and foreign
loans b y the Export-Import Bank), administrative policies emphasize
joint participations between private lenders and the Government
lending agencies. In the first two of these four programs, the borrowers are required to advertise all offerings of their obligations
publicly and the Community Facilities Administration purchases only
those which private lenders are unwilling to buy at predetermined
interest rates.
In the past 2 years, a Government-wide effort has been made to sell
existing loans from the portfolios of Federal agencies to private
lenders and to encourage private refinancing. During fiscal year
1964 about $1.1 billion of such sales were consummated. In 1965
and 1966, these sales are estimated to increase to $2.2 billion and
$3.1 billion, respectively. These figures exclude not only regular
amortization and prepayments of principal, but also sales made as
part of the usual process of guaranteeing or insuring loans and sales
from one Government agency to another agency.
The salable portions of the loan portfolios are concentrated mainly,
but not exclusively, in the Export-Import Bank and in the various
mortgage and other housing loans. Most of the loans held by other
Federal credit programs have interest rates, maturities, or other terms
which make them currently unattractive to private lenders. Legislation was enacted in September 1964 to authorize sales of certificates
of participation in pools of loans owned by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Veterans Administration, and the first successful sale has already been completed. Similar legislation is being
proposed for the Smali Business Administration.
INTEREST RATES AND MATURITIES

Two of the major ways in which Federal credit programs help
achieve program objectives are by providing more favorable interest
rates or maturities than many borrowers can obtain from other
sources. Table E-5 summarizes the current range of interest rates
charged by the various major credit programs on direct loans (or prevailing on insured or guaranteed loans) and the customary maturities
for both direct and insured and guaranteed loans. These terms are
on newly committed loans by currently active programs, and do not
necessarily correspond to those on previously outstanding loans, or on
loans covered by commitments made in earlier years.

When commodity loan is repaid by forfeiting collateral, no interest is charged.
On student loans, maturities begin when student leaves school and exclude periods of military
or 4 Peace Corps service.
In addition, property improvement loans are insured for $4 to $5 discount per year (equivalent to cover 8% simple interest), and with maturities of 6 months to 7 years.

Interest rates charged on direct loans vary greatly both among
the various Federal credit agencies and sometimes among the various
types of loans made by a single agency. Many of the differences in
rates reflect mainly differences in the cost of providing the loan
(including the cost of borrowing the necessary funds), of administering
the varying types of loans and of incurring the varying degrees of
risk of probable loss. In many cases, the rate charged is governed
by statutory limits or formulas. These sometimes are intended to
assure loans at rates below those prevailing in the private market or
below the cost to the Government, in order to provide special assistance to particular groups of borrowers as a method of accomplishing
Federal program objectives. In some cases, the rates charged reflect
mainly Government borrowing costs in earlier periods, rather than
current market yields of Government obligations.




414

THE

BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

Interest rates charged on insured and guaranteed loans tend to
correspond more closely to market rates of interest on comparable
loans by private lenders—allowing for the reduction or removal of
the normal private credit risk. In a few cases, interest rates on insured
loans are deliberately set below the market rate and a secondary
market provided to assure the willingness of the private lender to
make the initial loans; for example, the Federal Housing Administration was authorized in the Housing Act of 1961 to insure certain
types of loans to finance moderate-income housing at rates well below
those prevailing in the private market, and the Federal National
Mortgage Association purchases all of such mortgages.
Maturities, both on direct and on insured or guaranteed loans,
often are substantially more liberal than on private loans of similar
types. Private lenders are often limited by law or supervisory policy
to shorter maturities. When a Federal agency insures or guarantees
the loans, however, these limitations customarily do not apply. When
borrowers are acquiring assets yielding income or tangible benefits over
a long period of years, long-term loans reduce periodic installments
and make it possible for borrowers to undertake such acquisitions with
reasonable assurance of repayment.
QUASI-PUBLIC CREDIT PROGRAMS

The Federal Government also has certain responsibilities for the
credit programs of mixed-ownership corporations and other public
agencies operating in whole or in part with private funds. Table E-6

summarizes the outstanding loans for eight institutions or groups of
institutions of this type which have important lending operations.
Outstanding loans of the five groups of mixed-ownership enterprises
and trust funds for which estimates of future fiscal years as well as
actual data on the past years are available will increase from a total
of $5.9 billion in 1964 to an estimated $6.8 billion by the end of the
fiscal year 1966. Most of the anticipated increase is in the operations
of the Federal intermediate credit banks.
The three other groups of institutions, which are privately owned,
increased their outstanding loans from $6.6 billion at the end of 1963 to
$8.6 billion on June 30, 1964, primarily because of the $1.5 billion
increase in advances by the Federal home loan banks during 1964.
While no further net increases in these advances are anticipated
during 1965-66, the outstanding loans of the Federal land banks are
expected to rise by over $0.8 billion. No data are available on the
probable trends in discounts and advances by the Federal Reserve
banks.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS

F

FEDERAL ACTIVITIES IN PUBLIC WORKS

This analysis brings together from other parts of the budget the
new obligational authority and expenditures for direct Federal
construction, and for Federal grants and loans to State and local
governments for construction of various types of public works in
which there is a national interest. Because of variations in law and
procedures Federal budget expenditures may precede or lag the actual
work put in place. Expenditures nevertheless approximate the volume
of direct Federal construction and the Federal share of the work
accomplished on State and local projects.
Federal activities also affect construction in the private sector; these
activities, however, are not within the scope of this analysis. Such
Federal assistance to the private sector generally takes the form of
loans, loan guarantees, and tax concessions. In addition, Federal
long-term leases serve as a basis for private construction of some
facilities, such as post offices. Federal procurement, particularly of
missiles, equipment for space programs, and helium, results in private
construction of industrial facilities whose cost becomes a component
in the price of the supplies sold to the Government over the years.
Federal facilities currently account for 21% of the total public
construction in the United States. These public works vary considerably in size and type. The principal Federal types are water
resource developments, related power generating and transmission
facilities, space facilities, research complexes, defense installations,
and office buildings and museums.

works currently constitute about one-fifth of the expenditures for
all State and local public construction. The Federal share of the
cost of the works aided depends upon program objectives and provisions of law, and varies substantially among the grant programs.
Public works are usually built by private contractors under contracts with the Federal Government or State and local governments.
Federal expenditures for public works in 1966 are estimated at $9
billion, $200 million below the 1965 level. About 86% of 1966 expenditures will be for civil public works. The remainder will be for
military public works and atomic energy facilities. Over the past 10
years, both cost changes and program shifts have occurred in the
public works programs. A part of the increase in expenditures may
be attributed to increased construction costs, which are now about
15% higher than in 1957.
National defense construction, estimated at $1.3 billion in 1966,
shows a decline of about 43% from the 1957 level; for direct Federal
civil works, however, the 1966 level is nearly triple that in 1957; for
grants and loans to State and local governments, it is more than four
times as large as the 1957 level. In large measure these changes
reflect the growth in population, rising standards of living, increase
in mobility and leisure of individuals, and technological developments.
CIVIL PUBLIC WORKS

Civil public works expenditures of $7.7 billion in 1966, are $92
million below the 1965 level. The expenditures are divided about
equally between administrative budget funds and trust funds. The
largest increases in expenditures over 1965 are in the education and
health, labor, and welfare programs. The major decreases in expenditures are in the commerce and transportation programs and the
space program. New obligational authority of $7.7 billion recommended for 1966 is $269 million above the amount for 1965.
Grants to State and local public works, estimated at $4.5 billion
in 1966, make up more than half of total civil works expenditures
(58%). The $3.8 billion of grants for the Federal-aid highway programs are financed from the Highway Trust Fund. Federal aid for
the primary, secondary and urban highways is on a 50-50 matching
basis; the Federal share of the National System of Interstate and
Defense Highways is 90%. The Federal share of the cost is increased in States with large areas of public domain. Other major
grant programs are those for schools, hospitals and waste treatment
works.
Direct Federal public works expenditures of $2.9 billion in 1966
amount to 38% of total civil works expenditures. The natural resources programs account for $1.8 billion of this total. Construction
for the space program is estimated at $0.4 billion.
The $277 million of expenditures for loans in 1966 are on a net
basis; i.e., expenditures for new loans are generally offset by repayments of loans made in prior years. These net totals therefore do
not reflect the amount of construction aid provided by the loan programs. Major loan expenditures in 1966 are those of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency for college housing and public facilities.

Federal construction in 1966 according to whether the expenditures

1966, or advance planning on projects to be started after the budget
year. Although $2.6 billion will be spent in 1966 on projects started
in earlier years, an additional $8.3 billion will be required after 1966
for their completion.
The new projects to be started in 1966 are estimated to cost $2.4
billion, of which $256 million will be spent in 1966. The Corps of
Engineers will start 37 new projects and the Bureau of Reclamation
5 new projects. The Tennessee Valley Authority will start a steam
electric unit of 1,130,000 kilowatt capacity and four smaller water
resources projects. Planning will be initiated by the General Services
Administration on a number of public buildings, and construction will
be started on 33 Federal buildings, including 9 extensions and conversions and the acquisition of 1 building now under lease. Legislation is recommended to authorize the Post Office Department to construct facilities to be used exclusively for postal purposes; the 1966
budget includes $92 million for this purpose. New facilities are
recommended for the research, launch, and test centers of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration. Additional rural and urban
Job Corps centers will be built under the auspices of the Office of
Economic Opportunity.
Several grant programs authorized by the past Congress and additional new programs recommended in the 1966 budget will provide
grants for construction of State and local facilities. Among these
are grants by the Veterans Administration for construction of State
nursing homes; grants by the Housing and Home Finance Agency for
basic community facilities and supporting facilities for urban social
service programs; and grants by the Office of Education for higher
education facilities, vocational schools, and libraries. The Soil
Conservation Service will aid local units in the construction of 70 new
watershed projects, and the Bureau of Reclamation will make new
loans to local groups for 4 small reclamation projects.
Public works planning and surveys.—Construction of some types of
public works is preceded by preliminary surveys and general investigations which help to assure economic design of facilities. Comprehensive river basin planning requires coordinated long-range economic,
hydrologic, and land-use projections, which serve as a basis for
planning individual water resource projects to be started in later
years. Expenditures for such studies are not included in the summary
tables of this analysis.
Expenditures of $74 million in 1966 for advance planning on specific projects, prior to start of construction (shown in table F-3),
include outlays for acquisition of some sites for buildings. In addition, the Housing and Home Finance Agency will advance $18 million
in 1966 to States and local government agencies for advance planning
of local public works. Such planning serves to promote economy and
efficiency.

Authorized reserve of direct Federal public works.—Agencies

whose

programs regularly include public works generally have a reserve of
projects previously authorized. Such projects require only financing and planning for starting. The reserve provides a basis for
selection of projects which most adequately fulfill program needs and
budgetary policy. Table F-4 indicates the size and status of planning
on the authorized reserve.

as well as direct Federal programs for air navigation and postal facilities—accounts for $4.2 billion of expenditures, more than half of the
total to be spent for civil public works in 1966. The public works
acceleration program is shown in table F-5.
The natural resources programs account for $1.8 billion, or 24% of
the 1966 total civil works expenditures, of which $1.5 billion is for water
resources and related power developments. This includes work on the
Federal segment of the Pacific Northwest-Southwest power intertie,
the largest electrical transmission system undertaken in this country.




424

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

The transmission lines will tie together electric systems—public
and private—from Vancouver, B.C., and Seattle to Los Angeles and
Phoenix. Other natural resources expenditures will be for construction of roads and trails, highways and parkways, and recreational
facilities in the national forests and parks and on Indian and public
domain lands; school facilities for Indian children; fish and wildlife
facilities; and research centers, including test site facilities for desalting water. In addition to continuing work on the Amistad Dam and
Lower Rio Grande projects, the International Boundary and Water
Commission, United States and Mexico, will expedite the necessary
relocation of the channel of the Rio Grande in the vicinity of El Paso,
Tex., and Juarez, Chihuahua, and other facilities related to the
boundary settlement.
The agriculture function includes grants for watershed projects and
State research centers, and construction of Federal laboratories and
research facilities.
In addition to rural and urban Job Corps centers for the Office of
Economic Opportunity, other facilities needed to carry out the health,
labor, and welfare programs include research facilities; Indian health
facilities; grants for hospitals, health research facilities, waste treatment works, and mental health centers; and district offices for the
Social Security Administration and Food and Drug Administration.
Expenditures on facilities for the advancement of education are
estimated at $321 million in 1966, an increase of over 80% from
1965. Major increases will be for grants for higher education facilities and vocational schools and loans for college housing. Construction will go forward on the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts by the Smithsonian Institution.
Major programs in 1966 classified under other functions include
$92 million of expenditures for construction of hospitals and domiciliary facilities by the Veterans Administration and the $230 million
of expenditures by the General Services Administration for Government buildings.
NATIONAL DEFENSE PUBLIC WORKS

Department of Defense—Military.—The budget includes provision for
implementing a 5-year force structure and financial plan to strengthen
and modernize the Armed Forces of the United States, both overseas
and domestic. The construction supports activities of the various
services, including facilities used for operations, training, maintenance,
research and development, logistics, administration, and troop
housing.
The previously authorized Minuteman facilities are to be upgraded,
and the Titan II missile facilities are to be improved. Further work
is proposed to provide additional protection against radiation fallout
for the Nike-Hercules air defense missile system. Funds are included
to accelerate the replacement of World War II troop housing, bachelor
officer quarters, and training, maintenance, and administrative
facilities. Modernization of some naval shipyards is also a part of the
program for 1966. Construction of facilities is also recommended to




425

SPECIAL ANALYSES

accommodate missions transferred as a result of base closures. About
$130 million of the $1.6 billion of new obligational authority is recommended in 1966 for facilities in support of research and development.
The 1966 estimate of new authority for military construction
includes $50 million to be used for the construction of facilities which
may be required by the military services to meet emergency situations.
When these requirements arise, funds in the needed amounts as determined by the Secretary of Defense will be transferred to the construction accounts of the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
For 1966, all facilities required to support the realigned forces of
the Army Guard and Reserve will be financed by the use of prior year
funds.
Expenditures for the Minuteman program show a decline in 1966 as
major facilities started in earlier years approach completion. This
decrease is a major factor in the overall decrease in military construction expenditures.
The family housing program for 1966 includes provision for the
construction of an additional 12,500 units as well as numerous improvements to existing units.
Atomic Energy Commission.—Expenditures in 1966 are primarily
for continuation of work underway on major production and research
and development facilities. New projects, modifications, and additions to the production plants and research and development facilities,
estimated to cost $134 million, are scheduled to be started in 1966
with first-year expenditures of $20 million.

AID TO COOPERATIVES AND NONPROFIT GROUPS

Some types of private institutions perform functions quasi-governmental in character, such as provision of educational opportunities,
promotion of health, and conduct of research. Federal grant and
loan programs that aid State and local construction sometimes include
provisions for such institutions. Such expenditures, not included
in the public works tables of this analysis, are shown in table F-7
for major types of construction in this group, and for Howard University and Gallaudet College, institutions which bear a special
relationship to the Federal Government.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS G

FEDERAL HEALTH PROGRAMS
This analysis presents information on all the medical and healthrelated activities of the Federal Government, regardless of whether
they may be classified in "health" or in other functional groupings in
the budget.
On this broad basis, the Government will spend an estimated $6.2
billion in 1966 for all health activities—for hospital care and medical
treatment in Federal and non-Federal facilities, for construction of
health facilities, for health research and training, and for a multitude
of preventive and community health and health-related programs.
The bulk of these health expenditures will be from administrative
budget funds—about 6% of the administrative budget total. However, trust fund expenditures of $557 million will be made, mainly
for health benefits for Federal employees, but they will be nearly
offset by receipts from contributions by employees and Federal
agencies.
Compared to the total net expenditures of $6.2 billion from budget
accounts, new obligational authority in 1966 will be $6.6 billion.
F e d e r a l Expenditures, Medical and Htalth-Relattd Activities by Category

The development of Federal health-related expenditures.—Health programs are among the oldest activities of the Federal Government.
The origins of the Army Medical Service predate the Constitution,
and the Public Health Service was established in 1798 to provide
hospital care for merchant seamen. Medical and hospital care was
provided for veterans residing in the National Homes for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers established after the Civil War. Such care for all
432




SPECIAL ANALYSES

433

service-disabled veterans was provided by an amendment to the War
Risk Insurance Act of 1917, and in 1923 and 1924 inpatient benefits
were authorized for non-service-connected disability. Experiments
in 1900 by Walter Reed, an Army doctor, proving that mosquitoes
carry yellow fever, indicate the longstanding Federal interest in nealth
research. Federal consumer protection activities are evidenced in
the Meat Inspection Acts of 1890 and 1906 and the Pure Food and
Drug Act of 1906.
In the decade following World War II, the directly operated hospital
and medical activities of the Veterans Administration and the agencies
now comprising the Department of Defense were by far the largest
Federal health programs. In recent years, however, expenditures for
care of military personnel have been fairly level and outlays for the
care of veterans have increased at a moderately steady pace. By
contrast, the programs of other agencies, notably of the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare, have been expanding rapidly.
In the past 15 or 20 years many new health programs have been
enacted, particularly programs which authorize grants to State-local
agencies and to private organizations and individuals for health
research, training, facilities, and for support of health activities and
services.
This analysis was only started in the 1965 budget, so precisely
comparable figures are not available before fiscal 1963. (In 1963 expenditures were $4,658 million.) However, the proposed new obligational authority for fiscal 1966 can be compared with the figures for
obligations for 1958 which were published in 1961 on a reasonably
comparable basis in Senate Report No. 142, 87th Congress, 1st session, prepared by a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on
Government Operations.
Health programs in 1958, according to this report, totaled about
$3 billion compared to the proposed new obligational authorizations
of $6.6 billion for 1966. While the total more than doubles during
this 8-year period, Department of Defense programs rise from less
than $1 billion to over $1.1 billion and Veterans Administration programs rise from $0.9 billion to $1.3 billion, a combined increase of
about 25%. The programs of the Department of Health, Education,
and We!fare> however, increase fourfold, rising from $0.8 billion to
$3.2 billion. Funds for all other agencies combined rise from about
$0.3 billion in 1958 to $0.6 billion in 1965.
Distribution of Federal health programs by agency,—Seven Cabinet
departments and more than a dozen other agencies conduct or support
health programs, in addition to those for Federal employees which
are financed by every agency. Many of the health activities of these
agencies are not classified in the "health, labor, and welfare" function
but are carried on as part of programs for other purposes and are
classified in the functional categories according to the basic purpose
served, such as "national defense," "veterans benefits and services/'
etc. However, because these activities contribute to advancing the
Nation's health, they are included in this analysis. Thus while the
regular functional classification shows expenditures of $2.2 billion in
1966 for "health services and research"—all by the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare—the amounts included in this analysis are almost three times as large and cover many agencies. Table
G-l shows the expenditures for each agency.

SPECIAL ANALYSES

435

Of the $6.2 billion in budget and trust fund expenditures estimated
for health in 1966, $5.5 billion, or 89%, will be made by three agencies, including 50% by the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare, 21% by the Veterans Administration, and 18% by the
Department of Defense. The bulk of the health expenditures by the
Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration are for the
provision of direct care and treatment, most of which is provided in
their own hospitals and clinics. These two agencies also have sizable
expenditures for health facilities, for training, and for support of
health research.
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, on the other
hand, spends only a comparatively small portion of its health funds
for direct medical care, principally for merchant seamen and Indians
in Public Health Service hospitals. The bulk of the Department's
health care outlays is for medical research and training and for grants
to States and localities to cover medical expenses of public assistance
recipients and assistance for medical care of the aged. The Department also spends substantial amounts through the Public Health
Service for grants for construction of health facilities, for support of
local and State community health, and for environmental health
activities.
The remaining 11%, or $0.7 billion, of the estimated expenditures
in 1965 will be made by more than 15 other departments and agencies. Among these are the Agency for International Development
and the Department of State which support health activities in other
countries, the Atomic Energy Commission with its substantial biomedical research activities m the radiological field, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration with its rapidly growing research activities in space medicine, the Housing and Home Finance
Agency which makes advances and loans for water and sewer facilities, and the National Science Foundation which underwrites basic
research in biosciences.
Federal health programs are developing on many fronts. Of the
estimated increase of $1.1 billion in total expenditures in the 2 years
from 1964 to 1966, 75%, $801 million, is in the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, a growth of about 35% in 2 years for that
agency. The combined increase of the Department of Defense and
the Veterans Administration is $137 million, an overall increase of
6%. All other agencies show a net growth of $135 million or 24%,
with the largest increases in the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration and the Office of Economic Opportunity. The decrease which occurs in Department of Agriculture expenditures results
because legislation is proposed to finance meat and poultry inspections
on a self-supporting fee basis. There will be no reduction in the
amount of service.
Distribution of Federal health expenditures by category and by bene-

ficiary group.—Table G-2 shows the distribution of the total Federal
medical and health-related expenditures for the 3 fiscal years, 1964-66,
by six categories. The preceding chart on estimated expenditures
for 1966 depicts the distribution of the outlays in each category
between the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and all
other agencies.

Of the total expenditures of $6.2 billion in 1966 for medical and
health-related purposes, $3.4 billion or about 55% will be for provision
of health care either directly in Federal facilities or financed by Federal
grants or payments for services by non-Federal facilities. This is an
increase of $481 million from 1964.
The direct care expenditures amount to just over $2 billion, or 33%,
of total expenditures. Most of this service is provided in hospitals
of the Department of Defense, Veterans Administration, and the
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, which, in all,
comprise almost 10% of all hospital beds in the United States.
Table G-3 shows the number of hospital beds and the average daily
number of patients during the 3 years 1964-66. The number of
individual patients during any year is, of course, many times the daily
census because hospital stays average 7 to 75 days for most agencies.
In addition to this large number of inpatients, several million individuals each year receive outpatient care or treatment in the Federal
facilities.
Approximately one-sixth of the population in the United States is
actually or potentially eligible for direct hospital care or medical
treatment in Federal facilities based on estimates available at the end
of calendar year 1964. Approximately 22 million living war veterans, including some 3 million with service-connected disabilities,
comprise the largest single group of eligibles, although for ailments
not related to service hospital care is provided only to the extent that
Veterans Administration hospital facilities are available. Under the
basic policy of limiting its hospital system to 125,000 beds, the Veterans Administration meets approximately half of the hospital care
requirements of veterans with non-service-connected ailments.
Active duty and retired uniformed service personnel numbering 3.1
million and their 4 million dependents are also covered. Approximately 2.5 million Federal employees are entitled to treatment for
in-line-of-duty disabilities, although such injuries are comparatively
infrequent. Other eligible groups include 380,000 American Indians
and natives of Alaska, 125,000 American seamen, some 75,000 civilians

in the Panama Canal Zone, an estimated 60,000 narcotic addicts,
23,000 inmates of Federal prisons, and 1,500 patients with leprosy.
With allowance for duplications in the above categories, an estimated
30 million Americans are eligible for all or part of their health care
from Federal facilities.
The second largest category of expenditures—$1.4 billion or 22%
of the total—is for grants and payments for hospital and health care
in non-Federal facilities. Grants by the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare for medical care through public assistance
account for about four-fifths of the total. During 1966 an estimated
4 million persons will receive such aid, including under proposed
legislation to establish a program for the children in medically indigent
families similar to that which now exists for the aged.
The Civil Service Commission provides health benefits to almost
2 million Federal civilian employees (90% of those eligible), and to
4.5 million of their dependents under the Federal Employees' Health
Benefits Act. A similar program provides benefits for 235,000 retired
Federal employees and their dependents. These payments are made
from trust revolving funds into which are deposited both agency and
employee contributions. Since the health benefits funds are revolving funds, with receipts offsetting expenditures, only the net effect of
these transactions in the trust funds is included in the expenditures
for this category. The Government's contributions amounting to
$157 million in 1964, $167 million in 1965, and $172 million in 1966,
are included in the administrative budget figures and are mostly classified in this category. The bulk of the remainder represents payments




438

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

for care of Federal beneficiaries, principally by the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense in those cases where Federal
facilities are not available.
Every citizen is benefited in one way or another by the health
research, training, preventive and community services, and health
construction activities of the Federal Government, which are discussed separately in following paragraphs. Expenditures for these
activities will total $2.8 billion in 1966, an increase of $591 million
from 1964. These categories account for 55% of the increase over
1964 in health outlays. The amount of increases over 1964 is greatest
for health research and facilities ($223 million), but the other categories will have higher rates of increase: training (39%), preventive
and community service activities (32%), and construction of health
facilities (29%). Much of the increase in these programs reflects
legislation enacted by the 88th Congress for assistance to schools and
to students in medicine and dentistry, for programs to combat mental retardation and promote mental health, for emphasis in the hospital construction program on nursing homes and on modernization of
existing facilities, and for increased Federal efforts for air pollution
control. Other expanding areas include activities relating to water
pollution, pesticides, community health, and food and drugs.
About two-thirds of the $1.3 billion in Federal expenditures for
health related research and research facilities are by the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare, particularly the National Institutes of Health, which alone account for $742 million. The Department of Defense, the Atomic Energy Commission, the National
Science Foundation, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also make sizable outlays for health research.
Training, including training for research, accounts for $416 million
in 1966 expenditures. Again, the Public Health Service, and especially the National Institutes of Health, are the major sources,
although the Department of Defense also spends significant amounts.
Of the $517 million for preventive and community health services,
$269 million will be spent by the Public Health Service, the Food and
Drug Administration, and the Children's Bureau, all of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The Federal Government's
programs of assistance to underdeveloped countries are also responsible for about $75 million of the outlays and the Department of
Agriculture programs account for most of the remainder.
The Hill-Burton hospital construction program accounts for $223
million out of $565 million to be spent in 1966 for construction of
facilities other than for research. The Veterans Administration's
expenditures of $87 million represent the sixth year of that agency's
15-year hospital replacement and modernization program. The
Department of Defense will also spend $51 million for construction.
Proposed legislation.—A wide range of important health legislation
has been proposed by the President. The 1966 budget includes new
obligational authority of $293 million and expenditures of $197 million
for the following items: (1) $58 million in estimated expenditures for
regional multipurpose medical centers, initial staffing of community
mental health centers, operating support of medical and dental
schools, including scholarships, direct loans and loan guarantees for




439

SPECIAL ANALYSES

group practice facilities, and mental retardation program development
grants; (2) $12 million in environmental health grants to attack water
pollution caused by combined storm and sanitary sewers, strengthen
enforcement and control of air and water pollution, and demonstrations in the disposal of solid wastes; (3) $25 million for increased
maternal and child welfare grants to provide diagnostic and health
services to preschool and school-age children, and an additional $100
million in public assistance grants to finance vendor payments for
treatment services for children from families which cannot afford to
pay; and (4) $2 million in grants for vocational rehabilitation services
to mentally retarded and severely disabled persons, for expansion of
services through special projects,, and for construction and modernization of workshops.
Other significant health proposals, which are covered by the general
allowance for contingencies because the first-year costs would not be
large, include special health research and other facilities, vaccination
assistance, and health services for migrant families.
A major proposal to provide hospital insurance for persons over 65
through the social security system will entail trust fund expenditures
of only $20 million in fiscal year 1966 and a small amount of expenditures by the reserve for contingencies. However, the proposed payroll tax allocation to finance the program effective January 1, 1966,
would produce estimated revenues of $600 million for the new trust
fund in fiscal year 1966.

H

FEDERAL RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND RELATED PROGRAMS

In 1966 the Federal Government will continue to be a major source
of funds for research and for development.1 Total obligations for
the conduct of research and development are estimated to increase
modestly over 1965, chiefly for scientific research. Expenditures for
the conduct of research in 1966 will also increase while expenditures
for development will decline.
Because the support of research and the financing of development
constitute separate but related categories of effort, this special analysis
deals with them individually and with the support of facilities required
for both these activities. In addition, it presents information on certain special fields of science which are of broad national interest and
involve programs of several Federal agencies.
The Federal Government finances development to design, fabricate,
test, and evaluate prototypes of materials, devices, systems or processes needed to accomplish specific agency missions. These include
prototypes of complex devices such as military weapons, space vehicles, and nuclear reactors and of "systems" for such purposes as air
defense and aircraft traffic control.
Research on the other hand is supported not only to accomplish
agency missions—usually as a forerunner to development—but also to
increase the broad body of scientific and technical knowledge which
underlies the future advancement of the Nation's welfare, economic
growth, and security. This is particularly true of basic research conducted primarily in academic institutions but also in Government,
industrial, and other laboratories focusing on fundamental problems
in science.
Development.—Federal obligations for development will increase
only slightly from 1965 to 1966. The continued buildup in the
manned space flight program of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration will be offset in part by decreases in other NASA
development programs and in the development programs of the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission. Major
Defense development programs are continuing in 1966 and new programs are being initiated such as the C-5A large cargo transport aircraft and an air-to-surface attack missile system. But the successful
development, testing, and evaluation of the large current strategic
weapons systems will permit a small reduction in Defense obligations
for development and a larger reduction in expenditures. The decrease
in the development programs of the Atomic Energy Commission is
primarily related to reduced development in connection with special
1
Generally excluded from this analysis are funds for routine testing, experimental production,
information activities, and training programs. This analysis also omits funds for research performed
independently by contractors within overhead arrangements on some procurement contracts funded
in Department of Defense procurement accounts and for the collection of general-purpose statistics
by the Census Bureau and other agencies.

"obligations' for analysis purposes. In this table and tables H-2 and H-3, "obligations" and
"expenditures" for the AEC are accrued costs, which approximate obligations and expenditures for
analysis purposes.

Nearly four-fifths of the Federal funds for development are estimated to be spent through contracts with industry and the balance
chiefly in federally operated centers, particularly those of the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
and the Atomic Energy Commission.

SPECIAL ANALYSES

Research.—To sustain a vigorous national research effort in an age
of expanding technology, the Federal investment in research will continue to increase from obligations of $5 billion in 1965 to $5.5 billion
in 1966. This increase is particularly reflected in the programs of
basic and applied research to accomplish the long-range mission objectives of the Department of Defense; in the medical, environmental
health, and educational research programs of the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare; and in the general support of basic
research through the National Science Foundation.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

Federally supported research is carried out in Government and
industrial laboratories, universities, and other nonprofit research institutions. Industrial laboratories and university laboratories, including those administered under contract with the Federal Government, each performed about one-third of the research supported by
the Federal Government in 1963.
The proportion of research funds from all sources, both Federal and
non-Federal, spent in universities has risen from less than 20% in
1958 to about 25% in 1963 and should continue to rise through 1966,
reflecting the increasing significance of academic science activities,
particularly basic research, in the long-range national interest. Universities have traditionally been the main source of new ideas in
science through research carried out by faculty members assisted by
graduate students. The interaction of research and education in
academic institutions thus contributes both to the advancement of
research and to the training of scientific and technical manpower.
Special attention has been given in the preparation of the 1966
budget to insuring an adequate rate of growth in Federal support of
basic research in academic institutions. Basic research, which is
that portion of scientific research concerned with increasing knowledge about man, his world, and the universe, lays the groundwork
for later applied research and development and has been a major factor
in maintaining our country's leadership in the sciences and technology in recent decades. As the following table indicates, the 1966
budget provides for continued growth in this important sector of the
Nation's scientific activities.

Research and development facilities.—The decrease in 1966, particularly in obligations for research and development facilities,
primarily reflects reductions in the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration program due to the completion of major funding for
test facilities and launch complexes required for the manned lunar
landing program. Amounts for the Atomic Energy Commission also
decline as previously authorized facilities are completed and fewer
new construction projects are initiated.

Descriptions of the content and trends of the major Federal research
and development programs are provided by agency in the following
sections of this analysis.
There are also included in this analysis summary data by agency
on total Federal support for several selected research and development
activities of the Federal Government—such as oceanography and
atmospheric sciences—which, because of their broad national importance, are coordinated on a Government-wide basis.
PROGRAMS OF AGENCIES WITH MAJOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVITIES
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE—MILITARY

The programs of the Department of Defense include basic and
applied research; exploratory, advanced, and engineering development of new components and systems with possible military applications ; and development of weapons systems approved for introduction
into the operational forces. The principal amounts for these purposes
and for the operation of research and testing facilities of the Department are carried in the budget in the research, development, test, and
evaluation appropriations. As indicated in table H-5, certain
supporting amounts are provided in the military personnel, procurement, operations and maintenance, and military construction appropriations. Research and development related to civil defense is
financed under that heading.
Total research and development activities are essentially stable
between 1965 and 1966. Expenditures decline in 1965 and 1966, as
shown in table H-5 because of the decrease in obligations from 1964
to 1965. However, total obligations for research and development
activities will be slightly higher in 1966 than in 1965 as indicated in
table H-5.
Of the totals shown in table H-5 for 1966, 4% is for basic scientific
research with about 27% providing for all research including experi-




448

THE

ments with extensive equipment requirements. Approximately 73%
is for development, test, and evaluation of new military weapons and
equipments.
The total amounts for basic and applied research will increase in
1966 as shown in tables H-2 and H-3. Development of components
and subsystems for future strategic weapons, as well as weapons for
conventional and limited war is also expected to increase. However,
as major strategic weapon system development programs such as
Minuteman decline, there will be an overall reduction in development of funding as indicated in table H - l .
The composition of the programs of the Department by major
fields of effort is shown in table H-5. Development of the new tactical
fighter aircraft for use by both the Navy and the Air Force as well
as smaller aircraft to provide air support and mobility for the ground
forces will continue in 1966. Development of the new large C-5A
cargo transport aircraft will be initiated. Missile developments include the Army's project for an improved antiballistic missile known
as Nike-X, the Navy's Polaris program, and the Air Force programs
for an improved version of Minuteman and a new air-to-surface attack
missile system.
Included in military astronautics are such space programs as the
manned orbiting laboratory program, reentry and recovery technology

programs and basic engine and vehicle development efforts, such as
the Titan III multipurpose space booster program. Totals for the
military space program are given in table H-13. The research and
development totals also include substantial and increased effort in
the various aspects of antisubmarine warfare research and development and in the development of improved combat vehicles for use by
our land forces. Provision is also made for support of Governmentowned laboratories and test installations such as the Atlantic and
Pacific missile ranges.
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

All the activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are classified as research and development for purposes of this
special analysis. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is responsible for the development, test, and operation of spacecraft and vehicles for manned and unmanned exploration of space and
other nonmilitary applications, and for conducting the broad programs
of supporting research and development required for these purposes.
In addition, NASA is responsible for conducting research to advance
aircraft technology in support of both military and civilian interests.
The nature and estimated composition of the research and development programs of NASA are shown on table H-6.
Total expenditures for NASA in 1966 are estimated at $5.1 billion,
an increase of only $200 million over the estimate for 1965 compared to
average annual increases of over $1 billion per year in the previous 4
years. The reduced rate of increase reflects the leveling off in total
new obligational authority—the 1966 recommendation is $5.26 billion
compared to $5.25 billion in 1965—after a series of large annual increases in 1964 and prior years. The momentum of ongoing programs
can now be maintained and important new projects started without
further significant increases in the total, as increased requirements
in some areas are offset by reductions as other projects pass their
funding peaks or are completed or terminated.
Expenditures in the research program increase only slightly from
1965 to 1966. The greatest increase in 1966 expenditures is in the
manned space flight development program, largely for services and
equipment contracted for in prior years, while reductions in the other
development programs reflect the termination and phasing out of
some advanced development projects. Expenditures for facilities
are estimated to reach a peak in 1965 and begin to decline in 1966 as
work on major portions of the manned lunar landing construction
program is completed.
The programs of basic scientific research include unmanned investigations of the space environment with deep space probes, earth
satellites, and sounding rockets. A major new project for the unmanned exploration of Mars will be initiated in 1966. An unmanned
spacecraft, 10 to 15 times the size of the current Mariner probe, will
be developed. This spacecraft, called Voyager, is to carry a landing
capsule capable of providing accurate information on the existence
of life OP the red planet. Emphasis in 1966 will also continue to be
placed on the investigations conducted with large orbiting solar,
geophysical, and astronomical observatories. NASA also supports
basic research in space sciences at universities, and both basic and
750-000 O—165

applied research in fields applicable to space and aircraft technology
at NASA research centers and through grants and contracts with
universities and industry.
NASA activities classified as development continue to be devoted
primarily to the manned lunar landing program. This consists primarily of the development and testing of the three-man Apollo
spacecraft and the Saturn launch vehicles, and the two-man Gemini
program which is moving into its manned flight operations phase.
Other development effort is continuing on meteorological and applications technology satellites, the NERVA nuclear propulsion engine
system, and numerous small-scale engineering developments to
advance space technology.

ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION

The Atomic Energy Commission's research and development programs account in 1966 for more than 60% of AEC's annual expenditures.
Research programs, which in 1966 constitute approximately 28%
of the total conduct of research and development, are conducted in
the physical and biomedical sciences to secure a better understanding
of nuclear structure, nuclear processes, and the effects of nuclear
radiation on living organisms and systems. Of the total funds programed for research, about 80% is considered to be basic or fundamental research. The development programs include efforts to




451

SPECIAL ANALYSES

improve the processes used in the production of special nuclear
materials, to develop improved types of nuclear weapons, and to
improve the means of obtaining harnessed energy from nuclear
reactions.
The major elements of the AEC research programs are in the physical and biomedical sciences. The physical research program, which
increases by 12% in 1966, comprises research in high, medium,
and low energy physics and in those aspects of chemistry, metallurgy,
and mathematics of particular importance to nuclear science and
technology. In addition, there is a continuing program to achieve a
controlled thermonuclear reaction for possible generation of power.
Of special interest in 1966 are AEC's plans to construct in the Midwest the world's largest bubble chamber for detection and analysis
of elementary particle interactions and to initiate design for an eightfold increase in the intensity of the world's highest energy proton accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
There will be a slight decline in 1966 in expenditures for AEC
development programs due to reduced development in connection
with the production of special nuclear materials and achievement in
1965 of a readiness capability to resume atmospheric testing of weapons
in the event of violation by others of the limited nuclear test ban
treaty.
AEC's reactor development program includes efforts to develop
economic nuclear power reactors, nuclear rockets (Project Rover),
compact nuclear electric power sources for space and other remote
applications (Project SNAP), military power and propulsion reactors,
and to broaden the base of reactor technology. In 1966, particular
emphasis will be placed on advanced reactors, which make improved
use of nuclear fuel, for power and combined power and water desalting
applications. Two major cooperative power reactor projects will be
initiated to this end. Work will also continue on the development of
"high-gain breeder" reactors which would produce significantly more
fuel than they consume. In addition, AEC will place emphasis on
development programs for the peaceful uses of isotopes and nuclear
explosives.
The AEC research and development programs are carried on in
contractor-operated laboratories, in universities, in other private
research institutions, and by private industry. In support of the conTable H-7.

duct of research and development, AEC provides laboratory facilities,
research equipment and large research machines, such as nuclear
reactors and particle accelerators. In 1966 more than one-third of
such capital expenditures will be in support of research in contrast to
development.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE

The expenditures for research and development by the Department
will increase from $805 million in 1965 to $942 million in 1966. This
increase is primarily in the National Institutes of Health and other
elements of the Public Health Service and reflects continued growth
of programs on prevention and treatment of mental illness and mental
retardation.
In addition to the $42 million spent in 1965, $6 million is included
to expand environmental health activities; primarily to study the longterm effects of pollution on human health and to initiate a new program of university institutes for research and research training in
environmental health sciences.
The increase in expenditures for the Food and Drug Administration
reflect additional research on the harmful effects of foods, drugs,
cosmetics, and therapeutic devices.
The Office of Education will increase its expenditures for invention
and testing of new ways of learning, including design of curricular
materials. Under legislation included in the President's education
recommendations this effort will be substantially expanded through
centers available to all regions of the Nation. Teachers, other
educators, historians, writers, artists, and other practitioners will
contribute to this effort to be focused on all subjects and levels of
education. Authorizations for Office of Education programs will total
$98 million in 1966, an increase of $61 million over 1965 primarily
for the development of regional educational laboratories.
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

Expenditures of the National Science Foundation for the support of
basic research and research facilities are estimated at $266 million,
compared with $208 million in 1965 and $197 million in 1964.
The major emphasis in 1966 is on providing an adequate rate of
growth in Federal support for research in colleges and universities.
Increases are also included for the Antarctic research program; for the
weather modification program; and for specialized research facilities.
An ocean sediment coring program will be initiated in 1966. Support
will be continued for the Indian Ocean Expedition; Project Mohole,
a program of research in the geology and geophysics of the deeper
layers of the earth; the United Statesi-Japan cooperative science
program; the International Year of the Quiet Sun; and matching
grants for facilities related to research and science training. Research
programs aad facilities will be strengthened at the National Center
for Atmospheric Research and at the three astronomical observatories
supported by the Foundation.




SPECIAL ANALYSES

453

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Expenditures of the Department of Agriculture for research and
development are estimated at $256 million in 1966 as compared with
$236 million in 1965 and $182 million in 1964. The net increase
of $20 million is composed of a number of expanded research activities, partly offset by the reductions of low priority work. Additional
funds will be available for staffing and operating new farm and utilization research laboratories and for additional support for the senior
scientific staff. Research will be expanded on health-related problems
of tobacco, toxin-producing molds, and on meat animal and other
livestock. Additional funds will strengthen research on forest fire
protection, for expanding markets for timber products, for improving
income opportunities of owners of small woodlots, and for timber
utilization. There will also be an increase in the Department's grant
program to the States for the conduct of State research and development and in its economic research activities. Research projects
overseas, financed from foreign currencies accruing under Public Law
480, will also be expanded.
Funds are being requested for the construction of new pesticides
and forestry laboratories and facilities for livestock, poultry, and
cotton research. Construction funds will also be available to modernize and rehabilitate portions of the National Agricultural Research
Center and to construct a new National Agricultural Library at
Beltsville, Md. Planning funds for most of these facilities were made
available in 1964 and 1965.
Reductions will be made in farm, utilization, and forestry research
as a result of closing out low priority work at 54 separate locations. A
reduction will also be made in the Department's program of facility
grants to the State experiment stations.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Expenditures of the Department of the Interior for research and
development are estimated at $129 million, compared with $116
million in 1965 and $98 million in 1964. About 22% of the 1966
amount will be spent on development programs including the construction of research facilities, 53% on applied research, and the
remainder on basic research. Programs of the Bureau of Mines, Fish
and Wildlife Service, Geological Survey, Office of Coal Research, and
the Office of Saline Water, make a significant contribution to the
research and development activities of the Department.
The 1966 budget provides for continuing research directed primarily
at improving the conservation and use of water, parks and monuments,
fish and wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources. Studies of
the effects of pesticides on fish and wildlife, and the biological aspects
of the national oceanographic program will be continued. A major
increase is provided to accelerate development of economical desalting
processes applicable to a wide range of water supply problems, both
here and abroad. The 1966 budget also provides for full year operation of the Office of Water Resources Research, created to administer
the Water Resources Research Act of 1964. Under this act, States
will receive Federal grants to establish water resources research centers
in State colleges or universities. Grants will also be available on a




454

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

matching basis to support research in these centers. Geophysical
and geochemical studies of the upper mantle of the earth's crust that
may ultimately improve the technology of locating deep-lying mineral
deposits are scheduled for further expansion. Ongoing research in
earthquake seismology will be sharply accelerated in 1966. Programs
to increase the use of and expand the markets for coal and coal
products will increase.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

New obligational authority increases by $21 million chiefly for a
new, major research program to improve intercity ground transportation. In 1966 this program will spend about $20 million for demonstrations of high speed rail transit and investigation of other technological improvements. National Bureau of Standards new obligational authority for the conduct of research increases by $4 million,
chiefly for expansion of the National Standard Reference Data System and further improvements in Federal science information handling and dissemination. Also, $3 million is included for additional
work in experimental and applied meteorology by the Weather Bureau. Bureau of the Census research on methods of taking the Nineteenth Decennial Census through mail enumeration and automated
procedures decreases by $0.8 mUlion as this program moves into the
test and evaluation stages. These increases are partially offset by a
decrease in construction.
SELECTED GOVERNMENT-WIDE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT

The following section presents a number of scientific activities of
the Federal Government on a Government-wide basis. In these
fields, and in many other fields, the Office of Science and Technology,
in cooperation with the President's Science Advisory Committee and
the Federal Council for Science and Technology, is active in improving the planning, coordination, and review of Federal research and
development programs. Expenditures for these scientific and technical activities are included in the agency expenditures shown elsewhere in this analysis.
MEDICAL RESEARCH

Federal expenditures for medical and health-related research
activities are estimated at $1.3 billion in 1966. Nearly 60% of the
amount is expended by the National Institutes of Health, a component of the Public Health Service, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The increases in 1965 reflect the rapid growth of
the new Institute of Child Health and Human Development and
expanded grant programs for specialized research centers. The programs for mental health research and service increase by about $10
million. Over $40 million of NIH funds will go to industrial firms for
testing and evaluation of new chemicals and drugs for the treatment
of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and mental illness. Other organizations in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare are
also expanding their programs. The Food and Drug Administration
is strengthening its research programs and research in the area of




455

environmental pollution will be expanded by the Public Health
Service. The medical research programs of all other agencies are
increased moderately.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

Overall funding for atmospheric research is significantly influenced
by fluctuations in the costs of satellite development and flight activities. These costs totaled $105 million in 1964 and $67 million and
$68 million in 1965 and 1966 respectively (data excludes cost of launch
and launch vehicles). Exclusive of satellite programs, funding for
atmospheric sciences increased an average of 14% per year from 1962
through 1965. A 17% increase is proposed in 1966.
Increased funds for the National Science Foundation will permit expansion of basic research activities in the universities and at the
National Center for Atmospheric Research, where the lease of a
significantly larger computer will enable scientists to attack more
complex research problems. New facilities and equipment to increase the reliability of high altitude balloon launches will also be
financed by the Foundation. The largest new Department of
Defense project involves development of equipment to launch meteorological sounding rockets from airplanes for use over the oceans. * The
Weather Bureau, Department of Commerce, will augment its work
in experimental meteorology. The Federal Aviation Agency will
increase its activities related to the acquisition and processing of data
having specialized aviation applications.
Within the atmospheric sciences there are three principal fields of
interest: (1) meteorology, primarily concerned with phenomena
occurring within 50 kilometers of the earth's surface; (2) aeronomy or
upper atmosphere research, concerned with phenomena at greater
altitudes; and (3) studies of planetary atmospheres. The distribution
of Federal support is as follows:

Included in the amounts shown above for meteorological research
are $42 million in 1965 and $52 million in 1966 for applied research
and development whose principal purpose is to improve operational
weather services. Slightly more than half of these amounts is for
development of components for use in an operational meteorological
satellite system. Projects to improve operational weather services
are also reported in the detailed plan prepared by the Federal
coordinator.
OCEANOGRAPHY

The national oceanographic program represents the coordinated
research and survey efforts of nine agencies to improve our understanding of the oceans in tfre pursuit of such national interests as
defense, the exploitation of food and mineral resources, the improvement of weather forecasting, and the prevention of pollution. To

achieve these goals the properties of the ocean must first be understood, and thus the largest effort and the major program increase is
directed to ocean research. The research program is directed to
describing and understanding the physical and chemical properties
of the "world ocean/' the effect of the interrelationship of the ocean
and the atmosphere, the distribution of marine organisms, the structure
of the ocean floor and its history, and the modifications of the ocean
by human activities. The survey program provides basic data
necessary for research, exploration, and use of the oceans.

As shown in table H-l 1 above the funds devoted to oceanographic
research and survey programs will continue to increase significantly
in 1965 and 1966. However, with the construction and conversion
of 42 ships completed or authorized from 1960 through 1965, expenditures for capital programs will decline in 1966. This largely accounts
for the decrease in obligations of the Departments of Commerce and
Interior shown in table H-12 below.

needs in consultation with the membership of the Interagency Committee on Oceanography of the Federal Council for Science and
Technology. The Committee has attempted through its work to
identify and advise agencies on new opportunities in ocean research,
exploration, and equipment development; and to assemble a balanced program that avoids duplicate efforts and insures maximum
exchange of information.
SPACE PROGRAMS

As shown on table H-13, expenditures for the total Federal space
programs are estimated at $6.9 billion in 1966, a $230 million increase
over 1965. New obligational authority increases $130 million during
the same time period. Virtually all of the amounts for the space
programs are classified as research and development and are included
in the totals in this special analysis.

identified with aircraft technology. In 1966, more than two-thirds
of the NASA funds will be devoted to the Apollo program to achieve
a manned lunar landing before the end of the decade. In addition
to continuing current programs of scientific investigations and supporting research, the 1966 budget provides for new projects for the
unmanned exploration of Mars and unmanned satellite observation
of the Sun.
The estimates for the Department of Defense include the projects
in the Department's astronautics budget activity and certain amounts
in other budget activities which contribute to the space effort, such
as missile development, range operations, and various supporting research, development, and operating costs. The defense funds for
1966 include increases for the manned orbiting laboratory program
and research on reentry and recovery of spacecraft, ajnd amounts for
continuing development of the Titan III space booster and the initial
communications satellite system.
For the Atomic Energy Commission, the table includes amounts for
development of nuclear rocket propulsion and nuclear power sources

for space applications, including production of isotopic fuels, and
amounts for aerospace safety. The Weather Bureau amounts are
primarily those related to the establishment of an operational meteorological satellite system, which therefore, are not included in the
totals for research and development in this special analysis. The
amounts for the National Science Foundation are for research in
astronomy using rockets and satellite-borne observation instruments.
WATER RESEARCH

The Federal program for water resources research will total an
estimated $102 million in 1966.

The Committee on Water Resources Research of the Federal
Council for Science and Technology reviews and facilitates coordination of the activities of the eight major Federal agencies whose missions
require the conduct of research relating to water. The Committee's
first year of operation was devoted primarily to problems of improving
coordination and identifying program areas requiring immediate
attention. In 1965, the Committee will turn its attention to the development of a balanced long-range plan for water resources research.
In a closely related area, the Department of the Interior is responsible
for coordinating the activities of the Federal agencies in the collection
of water data.
The program in 1966 is $26.2 million larger than 1965 with a major
expansion of the effort to advance desalting technology, aimed at
providing economic conversion processes applicable to a wide range
of water supply problems. Other increases will provide additional
funds for studies in water yield improvement; erosion, sediment and
pollution control; and for research facilities.
SCIENCE INFORMATION

The Committee on Scientific and Technical Information of the
Federal Council for Science and Technology is stimulating the various
agencies to strengthen their programs for handling scientific and technical information. The Committee has identified a number of problem
areas in scientific and technical information handling and has ap-




460

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

pointed task forces to work on these problems with the objective of
obtaining more effective management of existing programs and improving agency coordination. Problems under study include language
compatibility in mechanized storage and retrieval, development of
a single Government depository library system, technical vocabulary
compatibility, development of descriptive cataloging standards, and
research and development in information science.
In 1966 the largest expenditures will continue to be for publication
and distribution of documents and bibliographic and reference activities with small increases provided over the previous year to reflect
the continuing growth of published scientific and technical materials
and the expansion of agency informational services. Of vital significance to the improvement of scientific and technical information
systems is the investment in research and development. The present
level of expenditure in research and development in information
sciences, documentation, information systems, techniques and devices
is approximately $50 million. A modest increase in such research
and development is planned for 1966 to advance this effort and to
initiate new projects.
The budget for 1966 also reflects recent Federal policy decisions,
including the creation of the Federal Clearinghouse for Scientific
and Technical Information within the Department of Commerce and
strengthening of the National Standard Reference Data System at
the National Bureau of Standards which was created a year ago.
Funds have also been included for a drug and chemical information
system in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS I

FEDERAL AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

Federal aid to State and local governments in recent decades has
become a major factor in the cooperative financing of essential government functions. The rudiments of the present system date back
about 100 years to the enactment in 1862 of the Morrill Act, which
established land-grant colleges and instituted certain federally required minimum standards characteristic of the present grant-in-aid
system. Federal aid was later initiated for agriculture, highways,
vocational education and rehabilitation, forestry, and public health.
In the depression years, Federal aid was extended to meet economic
security and other social welfare needs.
In 1966 Federal financial assistance to State and local governments
under existing and proposed programs will total an estimated $13.6
billion, including net expenditures of $9.3 billion from regular budget
accounts and $4.3 billion from the highway and unemployment trust
funds. This total includes $859 million in expenditures from the
administrative budget under proposed legislation, largely for education, and health, labor, and welfare programs.

SPECIAL ANALYSES

The growth of Federal aid programs.—In 10 years, total Federal aid
to State and local governments will have more than tripled, rising
from $3.8 billion in 1956 to an estimated $13.6 billion in 1966. In
relation to total Federal cash payments Federal aid will have more
than doubled. In the same period, expenditures by State and local
governments from their own funds also will have more than doubled.
Although the number and variety of Federal aid programs have
increased markedly in the last several decades, about 54% of total
expenditures in 1966 for assistance to State and local governments
will be for highway construction and public assistance grants. In the
decade ending in 1966, highway construction grants will have increased
more than fivefold, rising from $729 million in 1956 to an estimated
$3.9 billion in 1966, the largest increase in Federal aid for any purpose
during this period. Grants for public assistance will have more than
doubled since 1956, increasing from $1.5 billion to an estimated $3.5
billion in 1966.
Increasing population and rapid urbanization have led to greater
responsibility, particularly at the State and local level, for providing
essential public services in education, health, housing, urban renewal,
highways and public transportation. Continuing economic change
has stimulated programs for safeguarding the economic security of
individuals. While the major burden of such public services rests
with the approximately 90,000 State and local governmental jurisdictions, the Federal Government plays a vital role, both through direct
operation of programs and by providing financial assistance to State
and local governments.
The effective working of our Federal system is a matter of importance to all levels of government in the United States. In fiscal 1960
the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations was established as an agency for cooperative studies in intergovernmental
problems. The organization, activities, and financing of the Commission should now be reappraised in the light of experience and
emerging needs, and such a review is planned for fiscal year 1966.
Major program changes for 1966.—In 1966, the total of budget and
trust fund expenditures under existing and proposed programs for
financial assistance to other levels of government will increase substantially. The total is estimated to be $2.2 billion more than for
1965 and $3.3 billion more than the actual total for 1964. The change
is almost entirely in budget accounts.
The major increases in grants for 1966 over the 1965 estimates are
as follows:
• Economic opportunity programs will increase by $654 million to
an estimated $854 million in the second year of operation of the
war on poverty.
• Educational assistance programs, which are estimated to rise by
$818 million to a total of $1.5 billion, reflecting largely proposed new
legislation and legislation enacted by the 88th Congress for higher
education, vocational education, defense education, and libraries.

• Public assistance programs, which are estimated to rise by $504
million to a total of $3.5 billion, reflecting proposed new legislation
and larger caseloads.
• Labor and manpower programs, which will increase by $122
million to $695 million due to rising expenditures under the Manpower Development and Training Act (which is classified as a grant
for the first time in this analysis), and to improvement in the employment service, especially for youth counseling, financed in part
by a general fund advance to the trust fund.
• Health services and research programs of the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare, which will increase by $115 million
to a level of $603 million.
• Housing and community development programs, which will rise
by $153 million to a total of $840 million.
Smaller increases will occur in natural resources programs, $43
million; in the food stamp program, $40 million; and in grants for
vocational rehabilitation, $30 million.
Significant decreases in expenditures in 1966 from 1965 are expected
to occur in (1) accelerated public works, which will decline by $125
million, as most projects are now completed, and (2) Federal aid to
highway construction, which is estimated to decrease by $231 million
to a level of $3.9 billion. The decrease in 1966 highway trust fund
expenditures results from an unusually high 1965 expenditure level,
attributable to acceleration of construction in States where programs
had been lagging.




SPECIAL ANALYSES

465

New legislation proposed for 1966.—Federal aid to State and local
governments will be affected by several of the recommendations for
legislative change which are provided in the 1966 budget. Of the
$859 million
in grants-in-aid expenditures under proposed legislation,
58% wiU De f° r proposed legislation for elementary and secondary
education. Grant expenditures from this legislation in 1966 are
estimated to total $495 million. Expenditures in 1966 under proposed
legislation for higher education are estimated at $5 million.
Other recommendations for legislative change for which specific
amounts are included in this analysis are: increase in public assistance
payments ($114 million); grants through public assistance for health
care of children from medically indigent families ^$100 million);
expanded manpower development and training activities ($67 million);
project grants through Children's Bureau programs for health diagnostic and treatment services for preschool- and school-age children
($25 million); expanded area redevelopment assistance ($20 million);
grants for public facilities in urban areas ($15 million); grants for improved vocational rehabilitation services ($7 million); grants for initial
staffing of mental health centers which is a part of the health legislation ($2 million).
Federal aid programs by junction and agency.—In 1966, Federal aid
for health, labor, and welfare activities will amount to $6.2 billion,
45% of the total. Of this amount $4.2 billion, including $3.6 billion
for public assistance grants, will be for programs administered by the
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. About 30% of
total Federal aid, or $4.1 billion, will be spent for commerce and transportation activities of which highway construction under the Department of Commerce will account for $3.9 billion. Most of the
remaining 25% will be distributed among education (11%), housing
and community development (6%), and agriculture and agricultural
resources (4%). The detailed table at the end of this analysis lists
the various programs of Federal aid to State and local governments
by function, type of aid, agency, arid major program groups.
In 1966, Federal aid budget and trust fund expenditures will be
primarily for programs administered by the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare (40%) and 'the Department of Commerce
(29%). Federal aid expenditures by other agencies will make up the
remaining 31% of the total, with the largest amounts by the Department of Agriculture (8%); the Housing and Home Finance Agency
(6%); funds appropriated to the Office of Economic Opportunity for
economic opportunity programs (6%); and the Department of
Labor (5%).

Federal aid in relation to total Federal and State-local

outlays.—

Estimated Federal aid in 1966 to State and local governments from
budget accounts alone of $9.3 billion will represent approximately
9% of total Federal budget expenditures, an increase of roughly 2
points over 1965. Total financial aid from budget and trust accounts
of $13.6 billion will represent about 11% of estimated total Federal
cash payments to the public, also an increase of about 2 points over
1965. As a source of State and local revenue, Federal aid payments
from both trust fund and budget accounts in 1964 were about 15%
of all general revenue available to these jurisdictions.
Types oj Federal aid.—Federal financial assistance to State and local
governments takes the form of direct grants-in-aid, shared revenue,
and net loans and repayable advances. Grants to States and localities are the most significant type of Federal aid. In 1966, it is estimated that $13.1 billion or 96% of total expenditures for all three
types of aid will take the form of grants-in-aid. Shared revenue will
account for $191 million, or 1.4%, and net loans and repayable advances, $312 million, or 2.3% of the grand total. Apart from these
types of Federal aid, many other Federal expenditures which are not
included in this analysis, such as contractual payments or grants to
public institutions for research and training in special fields, affect the
finances of State and local governments.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS J

PRINCIPAL FEDERAL STATISTICAL PROGRAMS

Objectives of the Federal statistical programs are to provide
accurate, comprehensive, and timely data that are required for
operations and policy decisions of the Government, and that furnish
the public with information about the functioning of the economy
and the welfare of people. This program is under constant review
to assure that it reflects only the more pressing needs for data and
that it is accomplished with a minimum burden on respondents.
This analysis summarizes the 1966 budget recommendations for
the principal statistical programs of the Federal Government. These
programs are classified as current or periodic. Current programs
typically provide data on a single-time, monthly, quarterly, or annual
basis while the periodic programs furnish benchmark data derived
from large-scale census-type surveys characteristically taken only
once or twice a decade. Recommendations for the current program
in 1966 total $106.5 million, an increase of $10.9 million over 1965.
The periodic program for 1966 is at a level of $19.8 million, a reduction of $5.7 million from 1965; this program fluctuates widely from
year to year depending on the timing of the periodic censuses during
the decade.
Formulation of the Government's statistical program begins with
the identification of problem areas and consideration of the data
needed for measurement and for policy guidance. Many of the
statistical series, such as the national economic accounts and the
consumer price index, are now standard continuing requirements.
Others become outmoded and are updated or discarded. New
statistical data have to be developed in response to problems as they
arise and to new programs of the Government. For example, the
current emphasis on balance of payments led to establishment of a
Review Committee for Balance of Payment Statistics; the 1966
budget provides for funds to effectuate some of the recommendations
of this committee. Similarly, the budget for 1966 extends the
statistical program proposed by the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics. A new program,
required by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, involves the compilation of
registration and voting statistics.
The principal current statistical programs are classified by six major
subject areas for the purpose of this analysis. This is done for two
reasons: first, as an aid in evaluating the Government's overall statistical program in terms of relative emphasis by subject; and second, to
indicate the interrelationships of the statistical activities of the
various agencies. The subject areas, the agencies and the amounts
involved are summarized in table J - l .
Current statistical programs included in this analysis represent
in some cases the entire programs of those agencies, or parts of agencies, whose operations are principally statistical. In other cases, only
that portion of the agency's activities allocated to the production of
472

general purpose statistics is included. While this analysis contains
the principal programs it does not cover all statistical activities.
A more detailed description of the recommendations for 1966 is
available on request from Bureau of the Budget.

CURRENT PROGRAMS

Labor statistics.—Funds are recommended for the Department of
Labor primarily to expand research on labor force problems and
concepts; to improve area unemployment estimates; to develop
employment, hours, and earnings data for additional areas; and,
depending upon the outcome of developmental work in 1965, to
produce job vacancy statistics for selected areas. In the field of
wages and industrial relations it is proposed to expand the survey of
professional, administrative, technical, and clerical salaries to include
smaller establishments, more localities, and a larger number of
occupations and to begin work in the field of State and local government salaries. It is also proposed to expand the studies of employer
expenditures for fringe benefits.
Demographic and social statistics.—Almost two-thirds of the recommended increase is for improvement of statistics on health and education. Funds requested for the National Center for Health Statistics
would permit full year operation of the health records survey, initiated
in 1965, which is designed to study results obtained with varying
treatment and hospital utilization and costs; in addition the Center
plans to initiate in 1966 a program of basic statistics relating to smoking and health, as important tools in the continuing appraisal of this

474

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 19 66

initiate a major overhauling of its educational statistics program
through the development of a model designed to describe the flows
through the education system and to test its effectiveness.
In the general welfare field, the budget request includes increased
funds for the Social Security Administration to undertake studies of
specialized groups—the retired and the disabled. Additional funds
requested for the Census Bureau are for the purpose of extending the
program of State and local population estimates and current information on population trends; this is part of a planned program to provide
current local data between censuses.
Prices and price indexes.—Additional funds are requested for the
Department of Labor to expand its program of price indexes for
manufacturing industries and to develop techniques for making international price comparisons of metals and machinery products and for
preparing indexes of prices of goods purchased by the Federal Government. Recommendations also include funds to begin work on updating standard budgets for city workers' families and elderly couples.
Production and distribution statistics.—The largest part of the
increase in this activity is for the Department of Agriculture to undertake studies of financial management of family farms, economic
analyses of water management and use on farms, and compilation of
agricultural export and import statistics. Reduction in expenditures
for other activities will permit the extension of the long-range program of improved crop and livestock estimates to the remaining 9 of
the 48 contiguous States. An increase for the Bureau of Mines is
recommended for automating selected statistical surveys and for
increased support of cooperative work with State agencies.
Construction and housing statistics.—Recommendations in the 1966
budget would permit the Housing and Home Finance Agency to
strengthen and expand its statistical and research programs, primarily
in the field of basic housing market data. Funds for a major improvement of construction value in place data are recommended for the
Census Bureau; these funds provide for the direct measurement of
construction in the Western States.
National income and business financial accounts.—The largest single
item in this area is for the Department of Commerce to develop
statistics required for the improved computation of balance of payments. Other recommendations for the Department of Commerce
involve strengthening the basic estimates in the national accounts.
A recommended increase for the Securities Exchange Commission is
for the assembly of additional information on operations of the
securities markets. Additional funds for the Internal Revenue Service
cover increased use of statistics from tax returns.
PERIODIC PROGRAMS

Major items for 1966 are completion of tabulations of the 1964
Census of Agriculture and the compilation of registration and voting
statistics under the provisions of title VIII, the Civil Rights Act of
1964. Funds are recommended for the Census Bureau to continue
its preparation for the 1970 population and housing censuses; preparatory work on the 1967 Economic Censuses and the 1967 Census
of Governments would also be undertaken by the Census Bureau.
Purchase of a computer by the Department of Agriculture is proposed.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS K

FOREIGN CURRENCY AVAILABILITIES AND USES
Many agencies of the Government are engaged in activities throughout the world which involve payments in foreign currencies. From
some governmental activities, particularly the sale on concessional
terms of surplus agricultural commodities, foreign currencies accrue
to the Government without purchase with dollars. This analysis
presents summary data on foreign currency availabilities and uses.
Most currencies accrue to the credit of the United States because
of past or current international agreements authorized under several
laws. In most cases, these international agreements deal (1) with
sales arrangements, wherein commodities (usually surplus agricultural
commodities) are sold to foreign purchasers for local currencies, or
(2) with loans, wherein dollars or foreign currencies themselves are
lent to foreign borrowers and may be repaid in the currency of the
borrower. Currencies also become available in much smaller amounts
under other kinds of international agreements and from the normal
operations of the U.S. Government abroad.
A large part of the foreign currencies 'owned by the United States
is committed by the terms of the international agreements under which
they are received to be used on a loan or grant basis for mutually
beneficial purposes in the country—these are called "country-use"
currencies. The currencies which are available for the purposes of
U.S. agencies are called "U.S. use" currencies.
The Federal Government has established a number of procedures to
insure the maximum use of the foreign currencies which are available
for U.S. purposes. Efficient use of these currencies is important not
only as a matter of sound financial management but because of the
need to improve the balance of payments position of the United States.
In many instances, payments in foreign currencies have been substituted for payments in U.S. dollars, thus decreasing the balance of
payments deficit.
It is useful both for administrative purposes and for analytical
purposes to divide Federal holdings of U.S. use foreign currencies
into two categories:
Excess currencies are the currencies of countries for which the
Treasury Department determines (after reviewing the availabilities
and prospective uses) that the supply is great enough to more than
cover our requirements for the next 2 or 3 years. For 1965, the excess
currency countries are: Burma, India, Israel, Pakistan, Poland,
United Arab Republic (Egypt), and Yugoslavia. Brazil is expected
to be added to the list for 1966. In addition, Indonesia was designated
as an excess currency country during 1964, but has been removed
from the list for 1965 and 1966.
Separate appropriations for "special foreign currency programs"
have been provided for several years. These appropriations finance
476




477

SPECIAL ANALYSES

programs which can make good use of excess currencies, and may
include projects of lower priority than those financed through regular
appropriations.
In addition, because of the increasing balances of these currencies,
and the advantages to the United States of accelerating their use for
worthwhile national purposes, the budget proposes that the President
be authorized to spend, for additional special activities of authorized
programs, up to 5% of excess foreign currencies available for U.S.
uses. This is an experimental proposal to promote increased uses
of these currencies* in addition to the programs which are financed
from special foreign currency program appropriations.
Nonexcess currencies are those of all countries not designated as
"excess." In many of these countries, our supply of currencies is
far below our needs, and it is necessary to purchase currencies commercially to meet our requirements. In some of these countries, however, the supply of currencies available for U.S. programs is above our
immediate needs, but not by a great enough amount for the country to
be declared an excess currency country. Agencies have been instructed to make special efforts to use these "near-excess" currencies,
rather than U.S.. dollars, wherever possible, but these currencies are
not available for use under the special foreign currency program appropriations. The "near-excess" countries currently are: Brazil (expected to be declared excess for 1966), China (Taiwan), Colombia,
Finland, Guinea, Greece, Indonesia, Tunisia, Uruguay, and Syria. No
designation of anticipated "near-excess" countries for fiscal year 1966
has been made, and the list is likely to change.
Total availabilities of foreign currencies owned by the United
States (excluding small amounts held in trust) in 1964, and estimated
for 1965 and 1966, are as follows:

Need for foreign currencies.—As indicated in table K-2, the need
for foreign currencies in U.S. operations often does not correspond to
their availability on a country-by-country basis. Although we will
have almost $2 billion available for U.S. programs, only $300 million
will be in the currencies we need, and we must purchase almost
$1.9 billion of currencies to meet our total requirements. (These
figures are based on projections of future collections and requirements;




478

THE

BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR

1966

foreign currency transactions are subject to more fluctuation and are,
in many cases, less predictable than U.S. dollar transactions.) A
strong effort is made at the time that commodity sales agreements
are negotiated to obtain the maximum amount for U.S. uses to which
the other government will agree, in those countries in which we have
an insufficient supply of currencies. Despite this, in the normal
course of its worldwide operations the Government must purchase
large amounts of the currencies of many countries while at the same
time it is accumulating large inconvertible balances of others.

SPECIAL ANALYSIS L
INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

As part of a wide range of efforts to reduce the continuing deficits
in the U.S. balance of international payments, the Federal Government carries on a special program to minimize the adverse effects of
its activities on the balance of payments. Under this program,
agencies with substantial receipts or payments abroad keep their
international transactions under close scrutiny. They are required
to prepare statistical estimates of their transactions twice each year
for review by the Bureau of the Budget. These estimates are evaluated to determine whether all possible actions are being taken to
reduce payments and increase receipts.
Since emphasis is placed on using this system as a management tool,
forward estimates do not merely project current trends or programs,
but rather reflect all possible efforts, consistent with the national
interest, to minimize payments and to maximize receipts from other
countries.
This special analysis presents a summary of the international
transactions of the Federal Government for fiscal years 1964-66 based
on estimates made in September 1964 revised, where necessary, for
comparability with the 1966 budget.
Major trends.—Current estimates for Federal payments and
receipts overseas produce an estimated decline in net Federal payments abroad of about $0.5 billion between 1964 and 1966, excluding
special transactions.
Receipts from abroad from regular transactions are expected to
increase steadily from the 1964 level of $2.1 billion to $2.6 billion in
1966.
(These receipts figures exclude special transactions—prepayments of loans, certain sales of securities, and advances for military
sales.)
Estimated Federal payments abroad are expected to decrease
slightly from the 1964 level of $4.5 billion during 1965 and 1966,
despite the effect of rising prices and wages on the costs of Federal
programs overseas. This represents a significant decline from the
1963 level of $5 billion.

and sales of medium-term, nonmarketable securities.

Payments.—The largest reductions in payments over the 2-year
period are estimated for the Department of Defense, the Agency for
International Development, and the Atomic Energy Commission.
The Department of Defense estimates reflect the Department's
efforts to achieve savings—without reductions in our military capabilities—through a broad range of measures including: (1) a program
to replace procurement overseas with procurement in the United
States, (2) reductions in payments abroad for contractual services,
(3) reduction in employment of foreign nationals at overseas installations, (4) reduction in military assistance offshore procurement,
(5) reduction in personnel in overseas headquarters, and (6) reductions
and consolidations in overseas bases and installations.
The Department of Defense is also continuing its intensive worldwide effort to encourage other countries to purchase a portion of their




484

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

military equipment in the United States to help offset our defense
expenditures abroad.
The reduction in payments estimated for the Agency for International Development results from the Agency's efforts to insure that,
wherever possible, funds loaned or granted abroad are tied directly to
procurement in the United States. Except for limited procurement
in developing countries, it is now the Agency's general policy to prohibit the purchase abroad of any goods with foreign economic assistance funds. As a result of this policy, the percentage of commodities
purchased overseas is expected to decline from 13% in 1964 to 8%
in 1966.
The major reason for the estimated decline in Atomic Energy
Commission payments is the previously scheduled drop in deliveries
of uranium concentrates from foreign countries.
Veterans Administration payments abroad, mostly for compensation
and pensions, are expected to remain level.
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is expected to
make increased payments overseas between 1964 and 1966 for social
security benefits to recipients residing abroad. These obligations are
not readily subject to administrative controls. The Treasury Department also makes substantial payments not easily subject to administrative controls; they include interest on the public debt and encashments of non-interest-bearing notes representing parts of past contributions to international lending organizations. (Contributions to
these organizations often consist of non-interest-bearing notes which
are not included as international transactions until they are cashed.)
The significant increase in the 1966 payments by the Justice Department reflects the anticipated settlement of claims involving the sale of
the General Aniline and Film Corp. No similar payments are anticipated for future years.
Receipts.—The substantial estimated increase in receipts over the
1964-66 period is accounted for by transactions of the Department of
Defense (mostly from the sales of military equipment to friendly
governments), and loan repayments to the Export-Import Bank and
the Agency for International Development.
Special transactions—which are not included in the totals just discussed—were the source of large additional receipts in 1964. These
receipts result from transactions involving advances or loans and are
generally negotiated with foreign governments or official monetary
authorities. Such transactions would not, therefore, occur as part of
the regular operations of U.S. Government agencies. They include:
{1) advance payments by foreign governments for military exports,
(2) sales of nonmarketable, medium-term securities by the Treasury
Department to foreign central banks, (3) sales of certain participation
certificates by the Export-Import Bank, and (4) repayments by
foreign borrowers of loans before they are due. Except for advances
on military exports, they are not estimated for future years.
Geographical distribution.—Table
L-3 shows a distribution of
receipts and payments by major geographic area.
Receipts from Western Europe (excluding special transactions,
most of which are with Western Europe) are estimated to increase
47% from 1964 to 1966.

Payments by type of transaction.—An analysis of payments by
type of transaction indicates that between 1964 and 1966 the reductions in Federal payments abroad are expected to be primarily in
payroll and purchases of goods and services. For the most part,
the procurement reductions reflect the substitution of purchases in the
United.States for those overseas.

Excludes funds tied to procurement in the United States or which are otherwise not currently
available
for use abroad.
3
Excess foreign currencies are those which the United States owns in quantities excess to its needs
(see Special Analysis K). Since use of these currencies does not increase the flow of dollars abroad,
they are deducted in calculating the effect of the Federal Government on the balance of payments.
These figures are estimated on a slightly different basis in Special Analysis K, reflecting certain payments not covered in agency estimates of international transactions.

Relation to the budget.—Reports on international transactions
do not, in all cases, flow directly from the accounting system used for
the administrative budget or trust funds. In some instances they are
estimated separately to show all Government receipts or payments
which enter the balance of payments. The major differences between




486

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1966

data on international transactions and administrative budget and trust
fund totals are:
1. Coverage.—Data on international transactions exclude all budget
and trust transactions that are within the United States. For example, the administrative budget includes all expenditures for foreign
assistance and Department of Defense procurement, while such payments are included as international transactions only to the extent
that the procurement is estimated to take place abroad. On the other
hand, budget and trust figures exclude debt transactions which are
entered as international transactions. For example, sales of Treasury
securities overseas are included as international transactions receipts,
but are not considered budgetary receipts.
2. Estimated basis of international transactions.—No separate detailed accounting system has been established for international transactions comparable to that which supports administrative budget
and trust fund totals. In many cases it is necessary to estimate the
overseas components of transactions, since these components are not
shown directly by accounting data. For example, budget accounts
provide precise data on the gross amount of salaries paid in a given
overseas area, but do not identify the amount actually spent overseas
by employees—which is the relevant statistic for balance-of-payments
purposes. Thus, for past years, international transactions are a
combination of actual accounting reports and estimates.
3. Timing.—International transactions are recorded at the time
when they are known or estimated to affect the balance of payments.
The time at which a given international transaction is counted may,
therefore, vary considerably from the time at which it is shown in
the budget and trust fund accounts. For example, in some cases
the U.S. Government makes contributions to international organizations in the form of non-interest-bearing notes. These notes are
shown as administrative budget expenditures when issued, but as
international payments only when they are cashed.
Relationship to balance-of-payments statistics.—Data on
Federal receipts and payments abroad are also reflected in the balanceof-payments statistics published by the Department of Commerce.
However, as with the administrative budget, the balance-of-payments
statistics are designed for purposes which are different from those for
which the Government agency estimates and reports on international
transactions have been established. Balance-of-payments data
meet the needs of economic analysis and for the measurement of
international flows of real resources and money, while agency reports
on international transactions serve as both a means of estimating and
a management tool for decreasing the balance-of-payments costs of
Federal Government programs. Reflecting the different uses of
these two bodies of data, there are the following differences between
balance-of-payments statistics and the reports on Federal transactions
covered in this analysis:
1. Classification.—The reports use classifications by agency and by
types of expenditures which are quite different from the broad functional classifications used for the balance-of-payments statistics.
2. Attribution.—Transactions conducted by private businesses, in
which the Federal Government is involved, are treated as private in
the balance-of-payments statistics. In order to emphasize manage-




SPECIAL ANALYSES

487

ment decisions, agency reports permit the attribution of some such
transactions to the Federal Government. For example, military goods
may be sold to foreign governments directly by private companies,
although the sales are encouraged and sponsored by the Department
of Defense. In the balance of payments, such sales would be reported
as private receipts from exports. However, for the purpose of the Defense Department's estimates on international transactions, some of
them are considered Government receipts.
3. Other.—Further differences between the two sets of data involve the timing of certain transactions, the reporting of foreign
currencies, and minor differences in coverage of transactions which
are considered "foreign."
The balance-of-payments statistics do not include a separate identifiable category on total Federal receipts or payments. However,
because of the recent interest in the relationship between U.S. Government grants and loans abroad and the balance of payments,
the Department of Commerce has included estimates indicating the
amount of Government loans and grants which involve direct payments to foreign accounts, as distinguished from those which involve
no direct dollar outflow from the United States. Agencies report
similar data for their estimates on international transactions. A
reconciliation between the two sets of data, shown in table L-5,
illustrates the kinds of differences which exist between the agency
reports and estimates on international transactions and the Department of Commerce balance-of-payments statistics.

Note.—A classification of administrative budget receipts and expenditures for the period 1955 to
1966. inclusive, is found in table 17 (p. 492) and table 18 (p. 493), respectively. The change in
the public debt from year to year is not necessarily the same as the administrative budget surplus
or deficit. It reflects also changes in the Government's cash on hand, and the use of corporate
debt and investment transactions by certain Government enterprises.
Certain interfund transactions are excluded from administrative budget receipts and expenditures
starting in 1932. For years prior to 1932 the amounts of such transactions are not significant.
Refunds of receipts are excluded from administrative budget receipts and expenditures starting
in 1913; comparable data are not available for prior years.
*Less than one-half million dollars.

Includes Government enterprise debt guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.
