FOREWORD
This is one of a group of four documents which relate
to the budget for 1965. The Budget of the United States
Government, 1965, is a compact volume in a page size
similar to that of an ordinary book. It contains the
Budget Message of the President, summary tables and
statistical information, and various special analyses.
The Budget of the United States Government, 1965-Appendix contains the text of appropriation estimates proposed for the consideration of the Congress together with
specific reference materials on the various appropriations

and funds. The contents of this volume are further explained at the beginning of each of its four parts.
The Budget of the United States Government, 1965-The
District of Columbia is a volume which relates specifically
to the estimates for the municipal government of the
District of Columbia.
In addition, a pamphlet type of publication, The Federal
Budget in Brief, 1965, is available for those who wish a
much more brief presentation than any of the three official
volumes.

NOTE.-Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years in this volume are to fiscal years ending June 30. Financial
tables in parts I, II, and IV are nearly always stated in thousands of dollar/ii; details may not add to the totals because
of rounding.

EXPLANATION OF ESTIMATES FOR FEDERAL FUNDS
Part I contains supporting details for Federal funds,
including various types of tables and schedules, explanatory statements of the work to be performed and the
money needed, and the text of the language proposed for

enactment by Congress on each item of authorization.
Material is also included on a few trust funds which
require congressional action. This part is arranged in
chapters reflecting the organization of the Government.

TYPES OF FEDERAL FUNDS

Federal (Government-owned) funds are of four types, finance a cycle of operations, in which the expenditures
generate receipts coming primarily from the public and
as follows:
The general fund is credited with receipts which are not available for continuing use. They include nearly all of
earmarked by law for a specific purpose, and is charged the Government-owned corporations, the postal fund, and
with expenditures that are payable from appropriations various unincorporated enterprises.
(except appropriations of earmarked receipts) and those
Intragovernmental revolving and management funds (inpayable from borrowing. Both in number of items and cluding consolidated working funds) are those which are
in amounts, most of the Government's business is trans- created to facilitate financing operations within and between Government agencies. They consist of two typesacted through the general fund.
Special funds are those which are established to account intragovernmental revolving funds which finance a cycle of

pose. They exclude the funds which carry on a cycle of primarily from within the Government; and management
operations for which there is continuing authority to use funds which permit the pooling of advance payments from
the receipts (as described in the next paragraph). Some two or more appropriations to carry out certain activities.
special funds are subject to annual appropriation by
Other funds, for which the Government serves in a
Congress. Others are automatically available under the fiduciary capacity, are of two types-trust funds and deposit
funds. They are explained at the beginning of part II.
laws which created the funds.
Public enterprise (revolving) funds are those which
FORM OF DETAILED MATERIAL

For each appropriation, this appendix includes certain
detailed material, as follows: (1) appropriation language,
if applicable; (2) a schedule of program and financing;
(3) a narrative statement on program and performance;
(4) a schedule of object classification. An exception occurs in the case of certain permanent appropriations and
older appropriation accounts on which only a residual
balance remains; such accounts of a bureau or independent
agency are often combined into a single presentation
instead of having separate schedules. Where the obligations fall in a single object class, the classification is identified in the program and financing schedule, rather than in
a separate schedule.
For revolving funds, there are usually three additional
schedules covering (5) a summary of sources and application of funds; (6) revenue, expense, and retained earnings;
and (7) financial condition.
The basic schedules usually exclude supplemental estimates which it is expected will be transmitted to Congress
later, for 1964 and 1965; these usually are covered by a
separate, brief schedule of program and financing, without
appropriation language. However, the 1964 column of
the basic schedules include (and identify) certain supplemental estimates already pending before Congress, and
supplementals required in a few accounts to meet costs
of the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1963.

https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

The 1965 column includes, within the regular schedules,
appropriations for recommended extension or renewal of
expiring laws; however, money for new legislation is
shown separately. Appropriation language is included
for the former, not the latter.
APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE

The language proposed for inclusion in the 1965 appropriation acts is printed at the head of each item requiring
action by Congress, except for those items which are not
formally recommended at this time but will be proposed
for separate transmittal. The language of the 1964
appropriation acts is used as a base. The text used in
the 1964 appropriation acts is printed in roman type.
Italic type indicates proposed new language. Brackets
enclose material which it is proposed to omit, as in this
example:
SALARIES AND EXPENSES

For necessary expenses of the Office of Business Economics,
[$2,000,000] $2,550,000. (:i
591, 596-597; 15

175; Department of Commerce Appropriation Act, 1964.),

Following the language, and printed in italic within
parentheses, are citations to relevant authorizing legislation and to the appropriation act from which the text is
taken.

APPENDIX TO THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1965
STATEMENT OF SOURCES AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS

For all revolving funds, there is a summary statement
of sources and application of funds. This statement shows
total obligations adjusted to gross expenditures (on a cash
basis), revenue and other receipts adjusted to applicable
receipts (on a cash basis), and budget expenditures.

The statement includes an analysis of the retained
earnings or the cumulative deficit. This analysis shows
any additions to earnings, other than net income for the
year, any charges made against retained earnings, and the
balance of profits kept in the enterprise as of the end of the
year (whether as cash, inventories, or other assets).

For revolving funds there is also presented a statement
of revenue and expense, computed on an accrual basis, and
the resulting net income or loss for the year. This statement is usually on a full accrual basis, including sums for
depreciation, provision for losses on receivables, etc.
Where a fund consists of several programs, revenue and
expense may be identified for each, as here illustrated:

The balance sheet excludes balances of appropriations
and borrowing authorizations which have not yet been paid
into the revolving fund. The section on equity of the
Government is divided into three subsections as appropriate: (a) interest-bearing capital, (b) non-interestbearing capital, and (c) retained earnings.
Because the balance sheet is on an accrual basis, it does
not reflect the obligations incurred which have not yet
matured into liabilities, nor does it reflect unfilled customer
orders received and available as a basis for obligation in
the case of intragovernmental revolving funds. Therefore,
there is normally appended to the balance sheet an "Analysis of Government Equity" which shows obligations other
than liabilities, the unobligated balance, unfilled customers' orders on hand (where relevant), and invested capital and earnings, as in the following example:

TABLE ON UNEXPENDED BALANCES

A table at the end of each chapter shows the balances
of budget authorizations carried forward at start and end
of the past, current, and budget years. These balances
are summarized in table 10 of the budget document.
Many budget authorizations are available for obligation
for only 1 year, but some are available for longer periods
of time or without time limit. In the case of those which
are for a specific period of time, unobligated balances are
written off at the end of that time, but obligated balances
are carried forward to pay outstanding obligations.
In the case of salaries and wages, travel, and like items,
the lag between obligations ana expenditures is usually

no more than a few weeks or a few months. In the case
of construction, major procurement, certain research contracts and similar items, the lag between obligations and
expenditures may be 1 or 2 years or even longer.
The unobligated balance for each account represents
the difference between the unexpended balance and the net
obligations outstanding. Net obligations outstanding
represent the unpaid obligations (both those which have
accrued into liabilities and those which are undelivered or
unperformed) less the accounts receivable and intragovernmental orders for services or material which have been
accepted but have not yet become receivables.

critical areas, particularly from Eastern Europe, .Africa,
and .Asia; to increase the acquisition of materials in the
fields of science and technology; to continue the purchase

improve the procurement of current foreign legal materials
by placing purchase orders for certain necessary publica

gift; to increase procurement of both current and noncurrent materials needed to strengthen the law library's
already comprehensive coverage of critical areas in Eastern
Europe, .Asia, and .Africa; to acquire photoduplicates of
important research items, especiallfe those from critical
areas, which are no longer obtainab e in the original; and
to continue a program for the microfilming or ac~uiring

Objectives for 1965 are: (1) the sustained procurement
of braille books with broader coverage (e.g., vocational
and professional); (2) procurement of more titles and
copies of talking books including mago,zines, together with
a substantial increase in service of books on magnetic
tape; (3) procurement of a sufficient number of machines
to equip newly registered blind readers and to replace
additional obsolete machines; and (4) continued activity
rn. research, development, and testing of sound reproduction apparatus and packaging techniques.
2. Cataloging, reference, circulating, a'Tld training serv·ices.-Oatalogs of talking a.nd braille books are prepared
and maintained, including a Union Catalog of Hand
Copied Books in Braille which brings together a record
of holdings of all libraries for the blind. The Division
also maintains a unique collection (more than 30 thousand
volumes) of books in braille not available elsewhere for
loan in the United States. During the past 4-year period
1960-63 the number of readers throughout the country
requiring catalogs from which to select reading matter
has grown from 63,300 to 85,863 and circulation from
1,952,682units (volumes, containers and reels) to 2,896,160.
The number of readers and circulation are expected to
continue to increase in 1964 and 1965. Inquiries are
received concerning library and related services available
to the blind. Individuals throughout the Nation who
are interested in transcribing or proofreading braille ore
trained and those qualified are certified. During 1963,
676 individuals were certified, and it is anticipated that
this level will continue during 1964 and 1965.

For 1963, $61 thousand was appropriated to enable the
Librarian of Congress to provide for the conversion to
safety base film of additional paper prints of early motion
pictures now in the custody of the Library. With these
funds, approximately 67 thousand 35-mm. feet, or the
remainder of the paper prints were converted, and about
320 thousand 35-mm. feet of nitrate film was converted to
safety base film.
It is anticipated that with the $50 thousand appropriated for 1964, some 500 thousand feet of 35-mm film
can be preserved.
The $50 thousand requested for 1965 will allow for
testing of deterior.ation rates of nitrate film by a new
method, and preservation on a priority basis of badly
deteriorating, often unique, motion pictures important to
film history at approximately the same rate of preservation
as 1964.

The work programs of the Office of the Superintendent
of Documents are of a service nature, and hence there is
no control over the volume of work which is required
by law.
1. Sales dwtribution.-Government publications are purchased from the Public Printer to be placed on sale.
Acquisition costs are paid from sales receipts; hence no
appropriation is required for printing sales copies. By
law, the sales price is set at cost of manufacture plus 50%.
At the end of each year, excess receipts from sales not
required for purchasing additional publications are turned
in to the Treasury Department as miscellaneous receipts.
For 1963, earnings from the sale of publications amounted
to $5,732 thousand. It is estimated that earnings for
1964 will be $6,000 thousand and $6,200 thousand for
1965. These earnings more than cover the appropriation
required to finance the sales program.
The sale of Government publications has been steadily
increasing, and in the last 10 years the sales volume has
more than doubled. The current public interest in the
Government's publishing program points to a continuing
increase in the volume of sales.
2. Dwtribution j or other agencies and Members of Congress. -The Superintendent of Documents maintains mailing lists, including the list for the Congressional Record,
and performs mailing operations upon request of any
Government agency. Mailing services for Farmers' Bulletins, Soil Surveys, and other publications which are
allocated to Members of Congress on a quota basis are
also provided.
3. Depository library distribution.-Upon request, one
copy of every Government publication is supplied to

This appropriation provides for the statutory fees and
allowances of jurors, fees of jury commissioners, fees and
related benefits of U.S. commissioners who serve primarily
as committing magistrates, and compensation of voting
referees appointed pursuant to the provisions of the Civil
Rights Act of 1960.
The amount of service and the compensation of jurors
depends largely on the number of jury trials requested by
the parties to civil and criminal cases in the U.S. courts
and to the administration of the jury system. The earnings of commissioners are directly related to the volume
of cases presented by law enforcement officials.

Treasury to which are deposited payments of fees and
charges by parties to the proceedings. No appropriation
from the general fund of the Treasury is required.

$1,230 thousand (1963 adjustments, -$37 thousand): 1963, $469 thousand; 1964,

The Office of Emergency Planning serves as a staff office
to advise and assist the President with respect to the
nonmilitary defense programs of the United States. This
includes the coordination of emergency preparedness activities of Federal agencies, the development of emergency
preparedness programs not covered by the responsibilities
of the regular departments and agencies, and the performance of other duties in the areas of stockpiling,
telecommunications, Federal disaster relief, and imports
affecting the national security.
1. Emergency preparedness.-Tbis activity finances the
development of emergency preparedness plans and programs at all levels of government. Plans and programs
are developed to assure the continued operation and control of governmental authority and to mobilize the country's economic resources under emergency conditions.
(a) Economic readiness.-Plans and programs are developed to improve the ability of the U.S. economy to perform
under emergency conditions-from international crisis to
nuclear war. These include supply-requirement studies,
stockpiling policies, standby controls, dispersal policies,
mvestigations of imports affecting the national security,
and developing Government-wide plans for the mobilization and management of resources in an emergency.


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

(b) Government readiness.-Plans and programs are
developed to reduce the vulnerability of all levels of
government to enemy attack and to insure the continued
functioning of governmental leadership and control in an
emergency. These include achieving a standby capability
for emergency operations on the part of existing Govern
ment agencies; relocating essential governmental functions
in an emergency; and the recruitment and training of
qualified executive reservists who would be called to duty
in an emergency.
(c) Regional, State and local readiness.-Eight regional
offices of the Office of Emergency Planning work with
State and local governments on emergency preparedness
planning. They also coordinate Federal assistance under
natural disasters and assist the Federal offices in the field
in developing a capability to perform their functions in
an emergency.
(d) Policy, research and review.-Basic plans and policies
for the overall emergency preparedness program are developed, including the National Plan for Emergency Preparedness. Research in the emergency preparedness field
is coordinated and direction is provided to the National
Resource Evaluation Center. Office of Emergency Planning research contracts are administered. National preparedness objectives are developed and progress measured
against these objectives.
2. Telecommunications.-This activity includes: (1)
providing policy direction for the development and operation of the National Communications System; (2) assigning frequencies to Federal Government radio stations; (3)
developing data on Federal Government frequency requirements; (4) reviewing the actual usage of Government
frequencies; (5) providing assistance and advice to the
Department of State on international telecommunications
matters; (6) authorizing foreign governments to construct
and operate radio stations at the seat of government under
certain conditions; (7) coordinating telecommunications
activities of the executive branch and formulating overall policies and standards therefor; (8) developing overall
policies for the mobilization of the Nation's telecommunications resources in a national emergency; and (9) stimulating research in the telecommunications field.
3. Administration and executive direction.-The necessary staff support is provided to the Director of the Office
of Emergency Planning and other Office of Emergency
Planning offices under this activity. Services include
general administration, public information and liaison,
and legal assistance. Funds are also included to finance
the housekeeping expenses of the Office of Emergency
Planning in Washington. This activity also includes the
salaries of the Director of the Office of Emergency Planning, the Deputy Director, two Assistant Directors and
their immediate staff. The Director is a principal adviser to the President on nonmilitary defense. He serves
as a member of the National Security Council and participates in meetings of the Cabinet by invitation of the
President.
4. Research and development.-This activity finances
technical studies of emergency preparedness problems
which cut across the functional responsibilities of other
Federal agencies. Contracts are made with universities
and private organizations when it is not feasible or economical to hire a permanent Office of Emergency Planning
staff.

allocation to OEP for administrative purposes.
2. Aid to disaster areas.-Vnder Public Law 81-875,
the Federal Government provides supplementary assistance to State and local governments in the event of a
declared major disaster. Federal financial assistance is
provided from the Disaster Relief appropriation, under

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

1. Development grants.-These grants are used in less
developed countries to (1) provide the advisers, teachers,
equipment and supplies required for the improvement of
human resources, especially in administrative, educational,
technical and professional skills; (2) assist in the control
and eradication of major diseases and other menaces to
health; (3) establish and improve institutions which
further economic and social development; (4) assist in
planning and surveys of development programs and
projects; (5) establish or improve basic physical facilities
such as communications and transport, in those relatively
few countries where the economies are unable to carry the
obligations entailed by development loans; (6) pay transportation charges on shipments of supplies by approved
American nonprofit voluntary agencies; and (7) finance
research concerning the problems of economic development.
2 and 3. American schools and hospitals abroad.--To
further the well-rounded training of qualified leadership
in developing countries, the United States has provided
funds to American-sponsored schools and institutions
abroad. The Congress has authorized such assistance
under section 214 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
In 1964, $19 million was appropriated of which not to
exceed $2.2 million is available for direct dollar costs in
connection with U .S.-founded or sponsored hospitals
abroad and $4.7 million is available solely for payments
in U.S.-owned excess foreign currencies. A total program
of $12 million is proposed in 1965.
4. Surveys of investment opportunities.-This program
encourages private enterprise to undertake surveys of
investment opportunities in the less developed areas of the
world. Up to 50% of the total cost of such surveys is
paid by AID in the event that the concern sponsoring the
survey does not proceed with an investment. If such
payment is necessary, the survey becomes AID property
for use in attracting other investors.
5. International organizations and programs.-Funds
requested under this account are to cover voluntary
contributions of the United States to international programs sponsored by an agency of the United Nations as
well as regional organizations and special purpose international financial institutions.
Decreases in the amount anticipated to be required for
these programs are the result of several factors, most
importantly, (1) the major channel of U.S. support of
economic assistance to the Congo has been shifted from
the multilateral to the bilateral program; (2) several programs, including the NATO science and malaria eradication have been absorbed in the regular assessed programs
of the respective organizations, and (3) contributions to
regional organizations and to regional programs of international organizations in the fields of economic and technical assistance are included in the estimates for development grants and Alliance for Progress grants. The above
decreases are offset by a scheduled increase in our contribution to the Indus Basin Development Fund and an increase in U.S. contributions to the United Nations Expanded Program of Technical Assistance and the Special
Fund due to an increase in other member nations' contributions.
6. Supporting assistance.-In furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives support
is provided through this account to countries which need
help in maintaining defensive forces or in attaining
economic and political stability. Provision is usually


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

made on a grant basis and, to the extent feasible, supporting assistance funds are used for purposes which also contribute to development. In several cases country situations have rer-ently stabilized sufficiently to permit significant reductions in supporting assistance and increased
concentration on development. Fifty-five percent of
present supporting assistance requirements are in Korea
and Vietnam, countries on the immediate periphery of the
Sino-Soviet bloc.
7. Oontingencies.-These funds are used to meet urgent
requirements which cannot be foreseen at the time the
budget is prepared. They are available not only to
provide emergency assistance in disasters, but also to meet
important international situations which create a need for
immediate response in the U.S. national interest.
8. Alliance for Progress.-This account funds technical
assistance grants to Latin America as part of the joint
Alliance for Progress program. The United States also
provides assistance under the Alliance through loans,
Food for Peace, Peace Corps, Export-Import Bank, and
private foundations and institutions.
9. Social Progress Trust Fund.-In accordance with
an agreement of June 19, 1961, between the United States
and the Inter-American Development Bank, the Bank
administers a Social Progress Trust Fund, financed by
the United States, from which loans and technical assistance grants are made to foster social progress in Latin
American countries. An appropriation of $135 million
was provided in 1964 to replenish the Fund and to finance
activities of the OAS related to the Alliance for Progress.
Funds are not advanced to the Bank until needed to meet
disbursements from the Fund. Advances to and disbursemen ts by the Fund are as follows (in thousands of dollars
and dollar equivalents):

It is anticipated that in 1965, the activities of the Social
Progress Trust Fund will be carried on through expanded
arrangements to be proposed for the Inter-American
Development Bank.
10. Administrative expenses (AJD).-These funds are
used by the Agency for International Development in
Washington and overseas missions to administer economic
programs.
11. Administrative and other expenses (State).-Administrative expense funds are requested for the Department
of State for support of personnel involved in the administration of the foreign assistance program and of the
Battle Act.
Loans.-A major portion of U.S. resources provided
through foreign economic programs in less developed
countries is in the form of loans. Data on loans made
under the development loan activity, under the Alliance
for Progress, and under the authority of the Agricultural
Trade Development and Assistance Act are shown in
separate schedules. A small portion of economic program
funds available for grants are loaned each year rather
than granted. These loans are made for economic <level-

Through 1961, a portion of the mutual security dollar
appropriations was used to purchase surplus agricultural
commodities which were then sold to friendly countries
for their currencies. Sales of these commodities are now
being made through the Food for Peace program. Local
currencies accruing from the sales through 1961 under the
mutual security program are deposited in a special account
and are used for economic and military activities in
furtherance of objectives of the U.S. foreign assistance
program. These activities include the local costs of
projects, budget support of the less-developed countries

achieve self-sustained growth. The nations of Latin
America have subscribed to the Charter of Punta del Este
and are pledged to seek reforms and institute self-help
measures contributing to the development effort. U.S.
assistance is supplemented by assistance from other
nations, international organizations, and our own private
investors, foundations, and educational institutions.
To sustain this effort, Alliance for Progress appropriations of $550 million are proposed for 1965, $100
million more than 1964. Of this amount, $465 million
shown in this schedule will be available for loans. The
remainder, $85 milljon, is for development grants and
appears under Grants and other programs.

Pursuant to authorization in section 252 of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, the Congress has
appropriated $614.3 million to date to be used for development loans, to remain available until expended.
In 1961, the Alliance for Progress was formed to launch
a hemispheric effort, in which the United States joined as
partner, to stimulate and accelerate the development of
the Americas through programs of social and economic

Under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, a 5-year
long-range program for development loans of $7 .2 billion
was authorized to be administered by the new Agency for
International Development. This program replaces the
Development Loan Fund which was abolished November
3, 1961. $687.3 million was appropriated for 1964 and
$925 million is proposed for 1965.
Development loans are repayable in U.S. dollars.
Under the provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1963, interest charged on all loans with the exception of
those covered by special provisions relative to the use of
the facilities of the International Development Association
and those funds already committed to be loaned, will be at a
rate of interest of not less than 2% per annum commencing
not later than 10 years following the date on which the
funds are initially made available under the loan. During
the 10-year period the rate of interest shall not be lower
than ¾% per annum.
Development loans are made to promote the economic
development of less-developed countries and areas, with
emphasis upon existing long-range plans and programs
designed to develop their economic resources and to
increase their productive capacities. Before a loan is
made, the Agency for International Development must
take into account (1) whether financing could be obtained
in whole or in part from other free world sources on
reasonable terms, including private sources within the
United States, (2) the economic and technical soundness of
the activity to be financed, including the capacity of the
recipient country to repay the loan at a reasonable rate of
interest, (3) whether the activity gives reasonable promise
of contributing to the development of economic resources
or to the increase of productive capacities, (4) the consistency of the activity with, and its relationship to, other
development activities being undertaken or planned, and
its contribution to realizable long-range objectives, (5)
the extent to which the recipient country is demonstrating
its determination to take effective self-help measures, and
(6) possible effects upon the economy of the United States.
Development loans will not be made unless there is a
finding of a reasonable prospect of repayment. Additional
loan criteria and standards are established by an interagency Development Loan Committee chaired by the
Administrator of the Agency for International Development.
The program proposed for 1965 reflects the growing
need for development assistance as a result of (1) an in-

The Development Loan Fund was established as a
corporation by the Mutual Security Act of 1958 to extend
loans, credits, and guarantees to American or foreign individuals, businesses, financial institutions, or foreign
governments in order to provide capital for projects and
programs contributing to the economic growth of less
developed free countries.
Under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the Development Loan Fund corporation was abolished and its
functions were transferred, effective November 3, 1961,
to the new Agency for International Development. As
of that date, the fund had approved 217 loans and allocations and 3 guarantees for development assistance in
50 countries amounting to $2,008.5 million. Of this
total, 203 loans and guarantee agreements had been
signed totaling $1,887.3 million of which $632.9 million
was actually disbursed, leaving $1,254.8 million undisbursed loan and guarantee agreements still outstanding.
In addition, the fund had $120.8 million unobligated

67

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

funds outstanding to provide for approved but unsigned
loans. The agreements were in such fields as power,
irrigation, transportation, and industry which contribute
to basic economic development. Approximately 24% of
all loans were repayable in dollars and 76% in foreign
currencies. A total of $2,000 million was appropriated
to the fund, in addition to which receipts from operations
totaling approximately $15.5 million was available, including $5.8 million realized from foreign currency receipts sold to the U.S. Treasury for dollars.
Subsequent to November 3, 1961, the fund has remained open for the purpose of liquidating outstanding
obligations and approved but unsigned loans. As of
June 30, 1963, the undisbursed loan agreements amounted
to $638.1 million. It is estimated that this balance will
be decreased to $338.3 million in 1964 and to $22.2 million
in 1965.
Loan repayments and interest earned totaled $89.6
million in 1963, and are scheduled to total $103.1 million
in 1964 and $118.5 million in 1965.

In addition to established programs in the Agency for
International Development for acquisition and utilization
of excess personal property, section 608 of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961 created a revolving fund to provide
for more effective use by the Agency for International
Development of U.S. Government-owned domestic and
fore gn excess property in foreign assistance programs by
authorizing such property to be acquired and rehabilitated
in advance of specifically known requirements for country
programs. This includes many types of excess property
such as tractors, construction and roadbuilding equipment, machinery, and machine tools, the general needs
for which can be anticipated with a high degree of certainty. Costs include accessorial charges only, i.e., transportation, rehabilitation, storage, packing, crating, and
handling, paid initially from a revolving fund established
for the purpose in 1962 and subsequently charged to the
recipient government or program. Proceeds from these
charges are deposited to the credit of the revolving fund.

The law limits the value of domestic excess property which
may be held at any one time to $15 million in total original
acquisition value. There is no legal limit with respect to
the value of foreign excess :property which may be held at
any one time. No addition to the revolving fund is
proposed.
Three major marshaling sites have been established at
Schenectady, N .Y., Memphis, Tenn., and Lathrop, Calif.
In Europe, the Agency for International Development is
obtaining rehabilitation services under an existing U.S.
Air Force contract with private commercial firms; in the
Far East, a marshaling site of the U.S. Army has been
established in Japan.
Continued program expansion is forecast in 1965 as
demands for excess property mount and procedures for
rehabilitation and storage of this property become fully
operational. The 1965 program totals $27 million. The
net operating loss in the fund reflects expenditures for
transportation, rehabilitation, and storage of property
which at the end of the fiscal year have not been offset by
reimbursement following disposition of the property. Program operations are summarized as follows (in thousandR

programs and projects proposed for construction within the United
States of America as per memorandum of the President dated
May 15, 1962.]
[SEc. 102. Obligations made from funds herein appropriated for

group of engineering and architectural firms on any one project in
excess of $25,000 shall be reported to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives at least twice

continuing sense of the Congress that the Communist regime in
China has not demonstrated its willingness to fulfill the obligations
contained in the Charter of the United Nations and should not be
recognized to represent China in the United Nations. In the event
of the seating of representatives of the Chinese Communist regime
in the Security Council or General Assembly of the United Nations
the President is requested to inform the Congress insofar as is

[SEc. 106. It is the sense of Congress that any attempt by foreign

made pursuant to this subsection shall be published in the Federal
Register within seven days of submission to the committees and
shall contain a statement by the President of the reasons for such
determination.]
[SEc. 108. Any obligation made from funds provided in this title
for procurement outsde the United States of any commodity in
bulk and in excess of $100,000 shall be reported to the Committees
on Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives at
least twice annually: Provided, That each such report shall state the
reasons for which the President determined, pursuant to criteria set
forth in section 604(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
amended, that foreign procurement will not adversely affect the
economy of the United States.]
[SEc. 109. (a) No assistance shall be furnished to any nation,
whose government is based upon that theory of government known
as communism under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
amended, for any arms, ammunition, implements of war, atomic

petroleum, transportation materials of strategic value, and items of
primary strate~ic significanc_e Used in the production of arms, ammunition, and implements of war, contained on the list maintained
by the Administrator pursuant to title I of the Mutual Defense
Assistance Control Act of 1951, as amended.]

as communism under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended
(except section 214(b), unless the President determines that the
withholding of such assistance would be contrary to the national
interest and reports such determination to the Foreign Affairs and
Appropriations Committees of the House of Representatives and
Foreign Relations and Appropriations Committees of the Senate.
Reports made pursuant to this subsection shall be published in the
Federal Register within seven days of submission to the committees
and shall contain a statement by the President of the reasons for
such determination.]
[SEc. 110. None of the funds appropriated or made available pursuant to this Act for carrying out the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as amended, may be used for making payments on any contract
for procurement to which the United States is a party entered into

Revenues and other receipta (from program

Under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended,
designated agencies are authorized with Presidential
approval to incur obligations and make expenditures to
secure expanded production of critical materials in furtherance of the defense effort. The program is conducted
primarily through a revolving fund financed by borrowings
from the Treasury. The amount borrowed may not
exceed $2.1 billion outstanding at any one time, but the
act permits contingent liabilities to be considered as
obligations only to the extent of the probable ultimate
net costs to the United States, rather than in the full
amount of the gross commitments outstanding. To the
extent that money must be expended to fulfill commitments even though the expenditures are considered to be
ultimately recoverable (through repayment of loans and
sale of inventories, for exam:ple), portions of the borrowing
authority are used for working capital on a current basis.
Due to the imminent exhaustion of this borrowing authority, a direct appropriation of $108 million was enacted
in 1959 to cover partially the losses incurred, providing
cumulative financing authority of $2,208 million.
Allocations of borrowing authority by the Office of
Emergency Planning and net borrowing from the U.S.
Treasury as of June 30, 1963, were as follows (in thousands
of dollars):

1 In addition an appropriation of ~1.08 milliol} was applied ~o. General Services
Administration borrowings. thus providing financing of $1,962 million to that agency•

Expenditures are limited to programs certified as essential to the national defense by the Office of Emergency
Planning.
.
.
As one of the inducements for expandmg product10n
most of the contracts provide a guaranteed market for the
production from expande1 facilities. Significant amou?ts
of materials have been delivered to the Defense Product.ion
Act inventory under these contracts. Investment i_n
inventory of $1 500 million on June 30, 1962 and 1963 1s
expected to dedrease to $1,423 million by June 30, 1965.
Progress has been made in disposing of Defense Production Act materials primarily by sales to other Government agencies and industry and steps are being taken to
increase and accelerate the disposal program for these
materials wherever this can be accomplished without
undue effects on the market.
Legislation is being proposed which would waive furt~er
payments of interest on ~otes under. the no~le?dmg
portion of the pro~ram. This wo~l~ avoid a deficit m the
revolving fund which would occur if mterest payments are
made in 1965.
General Services Administratior1.-The program for expansion of productive capacity has included the purchase
and resale of metals, minerals and machine tools, and research and pilot plant operations to develop new materials
and new techniques for utilizing low-grade domestic ores.
The bulk of the expansion program ha.s been completed,
with the major probl~~s now being cust?dY, mainte:r:i~~ce,
and eventt1al dispos1t10n of the materials and famhties.
The exercise of option rights by contractors has been
examined with a view to reducing deliveries to the Government as far as possible within the terms of the contracts
whenever basic stockpiling objectives have been attained.
Between July 1, 1957, and June 30, 1963, a reduction of
$351.3 million in gross commitments was attained through
renegotiation of contracts.
A summary of transactions involving strategic minerals
and metals (including work-in-process inventory) under

authority. Of this amount a total of $7,367.9 million has
been completed as measured by procurement, expiration
of contractors' options on guaranteed production, com
pletion of facilities, completed research, etc. 1:'he balance
of $198.1 million includes a total of $118.8 million of corn
modity contracts, of which probable deliveries are esti
mated at $14.2 million.
Department of Agriculture.-The purchase, management
and resale of agricultural commodities, e_xcept fo~est prod
ucts were carried out by the Commodity Credit Corpo
rati~n which was reimbursed from an allocation to the
Secretary of Agriculture from this fund. The program
was completed by 1961, but interest expense still accumu
lates on the loss incurred.
Department of the Interior.-DeparU?ent of the I_nterior
operations to expand defense production und~r this fund
were limited to the encouragement of exploration for stra
tegic and critical mineral commodities. The operations
were administered by the Defense Minerals Exploration
Administration until September 11, 1958, when the Office
of Minerals Exploration was established. The latter office
uses appropriated funds to administer the older contracts
under which royalty obligations remain, as well as to con
duct a similar exploration assistance program.
Contingent obligations of the contractors for royalties
on the 293 contracts st.ill in force amount to $10,911
thousand. Royalties received totaled $4,587 thousand on
a cumulative basis at the end of 1963 and are estimated at
$250 thousand for 1964 and $225 thousand for 1965
Losses realized on 866 closed contracts totaled $7,847
thousand on June 30, 1963.
Treasury Department.-The function of making and
administering loans to private business enterprises was
assigned to the Secretary of the Treasury.
No new loans were authorized during 1963. It is
anticipated that there will be no additional loans author
ized during 1964 and 1965.
Loans outstanding are estimated for 1964 and 1965 as

technical assistance and by encouraging private investment in development projects.
The original United States subscription falls into three
categories. The first is a subscription of $150 million for
paid-in shares of capital stock, payable in three installments. The first installment of $30 million was paid in
June 1960; the second and third installments of $60 million
each were paid in October 1961 and October 1962, respectively. The second category is $200 million of callable
capital stock which can be called only to meet obligations
of the Bank on securities which it has issued in the private
financial market or on loans which it has guaranteed. The
third category is a subscription quota of $100 million in
the Fund for Special Operations of the Bank; $50 million
was paid in June 1960, and $50 million was paid in Octoher

was actually subscribed. The United States will not
subscribe to any portion of the recent increase.
The United States paid $635 million of the original
subscription in cash and non-interest-bearing nonnegotiable notes. The remaining balance of obligational authority ($5,715 million) will not be called unless required to
meet the Bank's obligations. Calls on unpaid subscriptions must be a uniform percentage of the amounts
subscribed by each member country.
By the end of December 1963, the Bank had made net
loans totaling $7 .5 billion in 70 member countries and
territories.
SUBSCRIPTION TO THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AssOCIATION
For payment of the [fourth] fifth installment of the subscription

maturities at a nominal service charge for its less developed
member countries. Most of its initial resources are being
provided by countries other than the United States.
While the U.S. subscription is $320 million, the contributions of the other economically stronger member countries
total about $422 million. Total subscriptions, including
those of the less developed countries, are $985 million.
Subscriptions are to be paid by the members in five
annual installments. The first installment of $73,667
thousand on the U.S. subscription was paid in 1961; the
second, third, and fourth installments of $61,656 thousand
each were paid in 1962, 1963, and 1964. The installment
planned for 1965 will complete payment of the initial
U.S. subscription.
As of December 31, 1963, the Association had made
credit commitments totaling $577 million in 20 countries
and territories.

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

The United States has adhered to a 10-nation, $6 billion
arrangement providing, under specified conditions, for
loans by the participants to the International Monetary
Fund when needed to forestall or cope with an impairment
of the international monetary system. In 1962, $2 billion
was appropriated to meet the requirements of U.S. adherence to the agreement. The United States now is in
a position to lend up to $2 billion to the Fund, but would
not be expected to do so in the absence of a substantial
improvement in its balance-of-payments position.

the summer months, Peace Corps planning and budgeting
are based on a "program year" which runs from the
beginning of September through the end of the following
August.
1. Volunteer and projects costs.-This activity includes
all costs directly associated with Peace Corps volunteers
in the carrying out of approved programs. In 1965
volunteer strength will increase from 10,500 to 14,000
The planned assignment of these volunteers is as follows

The purposes of the Peace Corps are to provide trained
Americans to interested countries in need of middle-level
manpower and to promote understanding between the
people of the United States and the people served.
Peace Corps volunteers engage in a variety of activities
at the request of host countries. Maximum association
with the people of the host country is insured by planning
the placement of volunteers in small groups throughout a
region or country, and by the fact that in most cases
they work for a host country institution. Prior to
overseas assignment, each volunteer is given intensive
training designed, among other things, to develop required
skills, to provide a knowledge of the country to which he
will be sent, to develop his language abilities and to assure
physical fitness for service overseas. During this period
of training, all prospective volunteers are carefully
examined and evaluated through continuing observation
to ensure that those selected for overseas assignment are
suited for Peace Corps service. Since training facilities
and prospective volunteers are available mostly during

Includes trainees.

The proposed increase of 3,500 volunteers reflects re
quests from countries for greater participation by the
Peace Corps. These requests for assistance continue to
mount and it has not been possible to respond affirmatively
to all of them. Peace Corps programing criteria limit
projects to those which are consistent with the purposes
of the Peace Corps Act and which can be manned by an
ticipated available volunteers.
The largest increase in volunteer strength is planned for
Latin America. This area is expected to have 5,900 vol
unteers by August 31, 1965. Requests from Latin America continue for large numbers of middle-level workers in
agriculture, and rural and urban community development,
and the assignment of Peace Corps volunteers to universi
ties of this region is growing rapidly.
In Africa, it is planned to have 4,250 volunteers by the
end of the program year-950 over the previous year's
level. The program emphasis will be largely in education
but more volunteers are being requested in other fields,
such as agriculture and health.
The Peace Corps' programs in the Near and Far East
will continue to grow in order to meet the continuing
demand for teaching, community development, and
agriculture projects.
2. Administration and program support.-This activity
provides for all Peace Corps expenses other than those
directly related to volunteer and project costs. It includes the amounts incident to the operation of the Washington office as well as the overseas costs of program
supervision and management.
The ratio of administration and program support costs
to total funding requirements continues to decline. For
1963, 1964, and 1965, the rates are 28%, 21 %, and 18%,
respectively.

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

These funds enable the President to relieve unemployment and spur economic expansion in eligible areas of high
unemployment or low income. This is accomplished by
accelerating both Federal assistance to local public works
and Federal public works projects. The program is
carried out by the Federal agencies responsible for the
several portions of the program and is coordinated by the
Secretary of Commerce with the assistance of the Area
Redevelopment Administration.
1. State and local projects.-Grants are made to eligible
State and local governments for public works, primarily
water and sewage systems, waste treatment works, hospital
additions, and related health facilities. Grants are made
for 50% of the project costs, although areas of most severe
unemployment are eligible for grants up to 75%. The
local recipients are required to increase local expenditures
for public works by at least the amount of the local
contribution.
2. Direot Federal projects.-Public works projects which
are the direct responsibility of Federal agencies are
accelerated in eligible areas. Such projects cover a wide
variety of activity including improvement of facilities,
small flood control and erosion projects, forest and other
conservation work, and recreation facilities, etc.
3. Administration.-Funds are provided for those
administrative expenses which cannot be absorbed by the
agencies responsible for the larger programs and by the
coordinating agency. Funds are requested for 1965 to
provide for unforeseen contingencies and for administrative expenses.

authorizes grants to the State of Alaska for a 5-year
period ending June 30, 1964, to facilitate assumption by
the State of responsibilities hitherto performed in Alaska
by the Federal Government.
These funds are to enable the President (a) to make
grants to the State to assist in financing functions transferred from the Federal Government, and (b) to finance
continued Federal operations for an interim period when
the State requests a delay in transfer of functions. In
June 1959, the State requested that the Federal Government continue operation of 17 intermediate airports, and
allocations were made to the Federal Aviation Agency for
this purpose.

The Service conducts basic and applied research relating
to the production and utilization of agricultural products
research on nutrition and consumer use, and carries out
those control and regulatory programs of the Department
which involve enforcement of plant and animal quarantines, meat inspection, the control of diseases and insect
pests of animals and plants, and related work.
1. Research-(a) Farm research.-Improved breeding,
feeding, and management practices are developed for farm
livestock, poultry, and domestic fur animals. Practical
methods are sought for control of diseases and parasites
affecting them.
Investigations are conducted to improve varieties of
food, feed, fiber and other plants, and to develop new
crops; to improve crop-production practices, including
methods to control plant diseases and nematodes; and to
rmprove chemical, biological, and other methods for control of harmful pests affecting farm production.
Research is conducted to improve fertilizers, soil management, irrigation, and conservation practices; to study
hydrologic problems of agricultural watersheds; to determine the relation of soils to plants, animals, and human
nutrition; and to apply engineering principles to improve
efficiency and reduce costs of agricultural production.
Continuous review is maintained to emphasize work
which will meet the problems of agricultural surpluses.
The research is aimed at the profitable production of an
adequate supply of food, feed, fiber, and other agricultural products of desired quality at minimum costs.
Increased attention has been ~iven to the production of
agricultural products having mdustrial uses. The proof farm research funds going into basic research
hportion
as steadily increased, and is currently estimated at 38%
of the total funds for research. This basic research
undergirds the other research efforts.
The 1965 estimate~ include increases for staffing new and
expanded laboratories and watershed research centers,


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

research to avoid or minimize hazards associated with the
control of agricultural pests and the use of agricultural
chemicals; and foot-and-mouth and other exotic diseases of
livestock. These are partially offset by eliminating several small field stations.
(b) Utilization research and development.-Chemical,
physical, and biological research is conducted to develop
increased industrial uses of farm products, and new and
improved foods, feeds, and fabrics; and to develop improved methods for processing agricultural commodities.
(c) Nutrition and consumer use research.-Studies are
made of nutrition, consumer use and food economics, and
clothing and housing. An increase for research on food
science is included in the 1965 estimates.
(d) Construction of jacilities.-In 1963, $2,780 thousand
was provided for construction and improvements at six
locations which are expected to be completed in 1965.
The 1965 estimates include increases for facilities for sugarbeet, pasture and range research at Fort Collins, Colo.,
and for construction and improvements to support activities, principally research, at Beltsville, Md.
(e) Oontingencies.-Beginning in 1962, $1 million is
available to meet urgent research needs that develop
unexpectedly during the year, when such needs cannot be
met by redirection of resources from other projects.
2. Plant and animal disease and pest control-(a) Plant
disease and pest control.-Provision is made (1) through
port-of-entry inspection to exclude from this country
destructive insects, plant diseases, and nematodes that
cause great damage to agricultural crops in other parts
of the world; (2) to cooperate with States in eradicating or
preventing spread of crop pests that become established
in this country; and (3) to assist States in suppressing
incipient and emergency outbreaks of crop pests when and
where they occur. Increases proposed in 1965 are for
strengthening plant quarantine protection necessary at
ports-of-entry because of increased travel and shipping;
offset by a decrease in the imported fire-ant control
program.
The volume of workload is indicated in the following
table (in thousands):

(b) Animal disease and pest control.-Programs are
conducted to exclude communicable diseases of foreign
origin from this country; to prevent the spread of diseases
through interstate shipments of livestock or distribution
of impure or impotent veterinary biologics; to control and
eradicate livestock diseases; and to maintain, through a
marketing agreement with manufacturers and handlers,
adequate supplies of hog cholera virus and serum for
protection of swine. The estimates for 1965 propose
increases for more adequate animal inspection and quarantine at ports to reduce the hazard of introduction of
foreign animal diseases; expansion of the hog cholera
program and activities relating to veterinary biologics
under the Virus Serum Toxin Act, offset by decreases in
scabies eradication and screwworm inspection activities
to prevent reinfestations in the Southeast.

(c) Pestic,ides regulation.-This activity is concerned
with administration of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act, and related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The 1965 estimates
propose an increase for handling increased registration
and enforcement activities.
3. Meat inspection.-Federal meat inspection is required
for all meat in interstate commerce and is conducted to
assure a clean and wholesome meat supply for human consumption, free from adulteration, and truthfully labeled.
The work includes inspection of animals, carcasses and
meat, and meat-food products at various stages of handling and processing. Measures are enforced to insure
mformative labeling, and meats imported or exported
are inspected. The estimates for 1965 include a proposed
mcrease for additional inspection staff to service the expanding needs for Federal meat inspection, and for reclasRification of meat inspectors.
The volume of inspections and examinations is indicated
by examples given in the following table:

The primary function of the nationwide system of
cooperative extension work is out-of-school applied education in agriculture, home economics, and related subjects.
This educational work takes research results, technological
advancements, and situation and program facts of the
Department of Agriculture, the State agricultural colleges
and experiment stations, and incorporates them into a
national educational program for action. Its objective is
to provide farm people and others with information and
assistance upon which they may make social and economic
adjustments necessary for an efficient agricultural industry
and improved rural homes and rural life.
I. Payments to States and Puerto Rico.-Funds appro
priated under tbe Smith-Lever Act for payments to States
and Puerto Rico are distributed primarily on the basis
of farm and rural population and to a limited degree on
the basis of special problems and needs. Funds appro
priated under the Agricultural Marketing Act for educa
tional work in marketing are distributed to the States and
Puerto Rico on a matching basis under approved projects
and on the basis of contracts. Funds are used primarily
for the employment of State and county extension workers
who work with rural families, marketing concerns, and
others by providing advice and assistance in the application of improved methods involved in production, market
ing, and family living. They assist local leadership to
determine extension programs of work. Work with youth
is accomplished largely through 4-H clubs. Funds also
provide for Federal program support. Extension agents
are paid from Federal, State, and county sources.
2. Retirement and employees' compensation costs for extension agents.-The increase proposed is required to meet
these costs for cooperative extension agents. The man
datory retirement contribution is authorized under Public
Law 854, approved July 31, 1956. The employer's con
tribution to the Federal retirement fund, to rn.atch contri
butions of these agents, is provided by this Federal appro
priation. The increase of $6,259 provides an amount equal
to the benefits received by the cooperative agents to be
paid to the Employees' Compensation Fund, as required
by Public Law 86-767.
3. Penalty mail.-Funds to cover the cost of penalty
mailings for State extension directors and cooperative
extension agents in the States are provided under this
appropriation.
4. Federal Extension Service.-The Federal Extension
Service provides leadership, counsel, and assistance to the
States and Puerto Rico in developing extension programs,
improved teaching methods, efficient use of available
resources, evaluation of programs, inservice training for

Combinations of needed soil and water conservation
practices are planned together and in relation to each
other so as to have a well balanced program in each
district and for each far:m. Both vegetative and structural
practices are used in accordance with the conservation
needs of the land and decisions of the cooperating far:mer
or rancher. The Soil Conservation Service technician
explains the soil conditions, develops land use and treatment alternatives with each cooperator, helps him evaluate the costs and returns of conservation farming, and
furnishes assistance in applying the needed treatments.
These conservation programs provide immediate and
long-ter:m benefits to the land where installed and to the
public generally. Modern soil and water conservation
practices are essential to continued efficient use of the
fixed land base of the country for agricultural purposes a.s
the future needs of the Nation may require.

1. Small watershed project investigations and planning.Surveys are made by the Department of proposed small
watershed projects, and work plans are prepared in cooperation with the local sponsors. These plans outline the
soil and water management problems in the watershed,
the steps that have been or are authorized to be taken to

alleviate these problems, the proposed works of improvement to be installed, the estimated benefits and costs,
cost-sharing and operation and maintenance arrangements,
and other facts necessary to justify Federal participation
in project development.
2. Watershed works of improvement.-The Department
provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install the watershed works of improvement for
watershed protection, flood prevention, agricultural water
management, recreation, and fish and wildlife development features specified in the work plans.
(a) Pilot demonstration watersheds.-Sixty-two pilot
watersheds were started in 1954 in cooperation with local
sponsors under authority of the Act of April 27, 1935
(16 U.S.C. 590a-590f) to demonstrate and evaluate the
effectiveness of works of improvement installed in small
watersheds for watershed protection and flood prevention.
As of June 30, 1963, work had been discontinued in 8
projects and completed as planned in 45 except for project
evaluation studies which will be underway until 1970 in
some of these. The following table shows the current
status of the pilot watershed projects. Obligations for
project evaluation studies are not reflected in the table
subsequent to 1959 as these costs were determined not
properly chargeable to projects. Obligations for such
studies amounted to $134 thousand in 1963 and are estimated at $108 thousand in 1964 and $100 thousand in
1965.

(b) Public Law 566 watersheds.-After local sponsoring
organizations have developed watershed work plans with
the Department's assistance, or with State or local resources, and the projects have been approved as suitable
for Federal participation (projects involving an estimated
Federal contribution in excess of $250 thousand for construction or any single structure having a capacity in excess
of 2,500 acre-feet require congressional approval), technical services and cost-sharing assistance are provided for
specified works of improvement. On non-Federal lands
local sponsoring organizations must contract for construction work, operate and maintain the projects, and in the
case of multiple-purpose structures, bear a share of construction costs. In addition, local organizations must acquire water rights and furnish land, easements, and rightsof-way for all structural measures except that the Federal
Government may pay up to one-half the cost of land,
easements, and rights-of-way allocated to public fish and
wildlife and recreational developments. Federal agencies
do this work on Federal lands which they administer with
appropriate contributions being made by the local people
who receive benefits.


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Advance engineering and technical assistance is furnished to all approved projects before they are advanced
to the construction stage. During the advance engineering and technical assistance stage, surveys and investigations are made and detailed designs, specifications, and
engineering cost estimates are prepared for construction of
structural works; areas are delineated where easements are
required and technical assistance is furnished for accelerating planning and application of land treatment measures
if provided for in the watershed work plan.
The project construction stage begins with execution of
the first project agreement for construction of works of
improvement. Under a project agreement the local
sponsoring organization agrees to construct a segment of
the project which may consist of an individual or an interrelated group of structures. The agreement obligates
the Department to furnish its share of the construction
cost. Payments are made to the local contracting organization in accordance with the project agreement as the
work progresses. Engineering and other services are
provided for the preparation of contracts and inspection

of construction. Technical assistance in planning and
installing land treatment measures is continued as called
for in the watershed work plan.

Law 566 projects and amounts obligated or estimated to

The 1964 program contemplates initiation of construction in about 36 watershed projects, involving 1964
estimated obligations of $8.2 million and total Federal
cost of $44.9 million. The 1965 estimate provides for
starting about 36 projects with 1965 obligations of $8.4
million and total Federal cost of $36 million.
3. Loans and related expense.-Loans are made to local
organizations to finance the local share of the cost of
installing planned works of improvement in approved
watershed projects. Repayment with interest is required
within 50 years after the principal benefits of improvements first become available. Of the 1965 estimate for
watershed protection, not to exceed $5 million is to be
available for such purpose together with unobligated
balance of loan funds carried over from prior years.
4. River basin program development and coordination.Section 6 of Public Law 566, 83d Congress, as amended,
authorizes the Department to cooperate with other
Federal, State, and local agencies in making surveys and
investigations of the watersheds of rivers and other waterways as a basis for the development of coordinated water
and related land resources programs. The Department
is currently participating in cooperative surveys and investigations in river basins with the Corps of Engineers
and other interested Federal and State agencies. The
Department is represented on the Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources which was established to
coordinate water and related land resource activities of
Federal departments and agencies. The Department also
maintains representation on various river basin interagency committees, which serve as points of contact and
coordination between representatives of this Department
and of other Federal departments and agencies and the
States in these basin areas, to keep all concerned mutually
informed of the activities of the member agencies and to
facilitate matters of interagency coordination. The Department in 1963 maintained such representation on

committees in the Arkansas-White-Red, Columbia, Missouri, Northeast, and Pacific Southwest areas.
This Department and the Departments of the Army, the
Interior, and Health, Education, and Welfare have jointly
considered river basin surveys and investigations currently
needed to attain the goal proposed by the Senate Select
Committee on National Water Resources and recommended by the President for surveying the river basins of
the Nation. Based on this joint consideration, this
estimate includes $2.4 million for conducting these interagency comprehensive surveys during fiscal 1965. In
addition, $1.5 million is included to continue the other
cooperative river basin surveys begun in prior years at
about the 1964 level.

The Department furnishes additional technical and in
certain instances financial assistance to landowners to
accelerate planning and installation of land treatment
measures for runoff retardation, sediment control, and
water management. Local sponsoring organizations must
furnish all land, easements and rights-of-way, water
rights, and the entire cost of works of improvement for non
agricultural water management measures, except those for
fish and wildlife development and recreation, and operate
and maintain all completed works of improvement.

improvements first become available. Of the 1965 estimate for flood prevention, not to exceed $200 thousand is
to be available for such purpose, together with any unobligated balances of loan funds carried over from prior
years. It is estimated that about $2.7 million is available
for this purpose during 1964, a significant portion of which
will not be required during that year.

This program provides cost-sharing assistance and technical services to participating farmers and ranchers in the
development and installation of long-term conservation
plans for their land. It is a voluntary program which
supplements other conservation programs of the Department in designated counties of the 10 Great Plains
States. Cost-sharing contracts with each individual landowner extend over a period of 3 to 10 years and include a
plan of operations for the entire farm or ranch. A time
schedule for installing the cost-share practices is also
included as a part of each contract, the primary purpose
of which is to achieve the needed land use adjustments,
conservation treatments, and economic stability for each
farm or ranch unit.
The maximum cost-share rate offered in any contract
does not exceed 80% of the average cost of installing each
eligible practice within the designated county, but the
amount is less for some practices. Participants often

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The Department cooperates with other Federal agencies,
States, and local units of government in developing and
carrying out project plans for resource development on
private lands, and will share in the cost of installing planned
works of improvement when justified as a public need.
The Department will also provide loans to Jocal sponsoring
organizations and individuals to help them finance their
share of the cost on certain improvements.
Technical assistance will be provided within each approved project area to help cooperating individuals to
plan and install land treatments, for which no cost-shares
itre paid from this appropriation; to assist local organizations and groups with the design, construction, and installation of new facilities; and for the preparation of overall
work plans as a basis for resource development, and economic improvement.
The work under this program will consist of planning,
designing and installing practices and measures, the primary purpose of which is to develop or improve the economic use of natural resources. This may include recreational facilities and income-producing enterprises where
needed within approved project areas. Investigations,
surveys and planning are prerequisite to the operating
phases of this program. Financial contributions and other
assistance will be used to help install planned measures
which provide substantial public benefit. Loans will also
be made where needed to aid local public agencies and
project sponsors in financing works of improvement as
specified in approved work plans.

The Service has been developing irrigation farming
units for sale on the Eden Valley project in Wyoming
where the Bureau of Reclamation has constructed the
water storage facility and the principal canals. Land
development for irrigation and settlement has been completed in accordance with the project plan prepared cooperatively with the Bureau of Reclamation. The farms
developed in the project have been sold with the exception
of four. One of these has been transferred to the State of
Wyoming as a demonstration farm. The other three
tracts are expected to be transferred to the Department
of Interior during the 1964 fiscal year. The Eden Valley
project office has been closed. A soil conservation district has been organized and staffed to furnish technical
assistance in soil and water conservation to the project
settlers. Sufficient funds are available from prior-year
appropriations to protect the interests of the Government
and to provide a reserve in case of need for adjustments in
remaining unpaid obligations. No new appropriations
will be required.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

1. Farm economics.-Research is conducted to measure,
appraise, and analyze on a continuing basis, economic
changes that occur in farming and in the use of rural
resources and to indicate needed adjustments.
Research on the economics of farm production includes
the economics of organization and management of farms;
adjustments in production to prospective demands, and
changing technologies; appraisals of costs and returns on
farms representative of important types, sizes, and locations, and the appraisal of costs of producing important
commodities; development of measures of farm output
and productivity; problems of farm size and capital
requirements; financing of farm enterprises; taxation,
insurance of land values; and appraisal of alternative
agricultural production policies and programs.
Resource development economics is concerned with
the management of the Nation's land and water resources
and particularly the changing rural economy and institutional structure. It includes economic development;
improvement of income opportunities in depressed areas;
rural renewal; analysis of river basin and watershed
programs, land tenure, and resource organization and
policy.
2. Marketing economics.-This activity covers economic
aspects of marketing farm products, including the nature of farmers' bargaining power; potentials for new
products and new uses; market structure, costs and margins; the economic effects of school lunch, special milk,
food stamp, and direct food distribution programs.
3. Domestic and foreign economic analysis.-Domestic
economic analysis is concerned with identifying, measuring, and analyzing: (1) the factors affecting demand,
supply, and price of agricultural commodities; (2) relationships between the agricultural sector and the national economy; (3) farm income and the income of the
farm population; (4) demand and consumption of farm
products; (5) long-term projections of economic growth
and farm products demand; (6) farm population, manpower and levels of living; and (7) historical developments in the policies, programs, and organization of the
Department.
Foreign economic analysis includes trade studies and
investigation of supply-demand relations. The trade and
market studies focus on the problems of developing foreign markets and the effect of these developments on
agricultural production. Research is carried on in more
than 100 countries, focusing on the forces affecting supply, demand, and trade in farm products, and their
impact on U.S. agricultural exports.

2. Market news service.-This service provides current
information on supply, movement, and prices at specific
markets for practically all agricultural commodities.
This day-to-day market information enables American
farmers to determine where and when to sell and at what
price. The information is collected and disseminated at
year-round and seasonal offices maintained in more than
130 cities and towns, often with local and other support
and cooperation, generally from State departments of
agriculture.
The proposed increase for 1965 would be used for further
modernization of the leased teletype system and to meet
the cost of increased teletype rates. This increase is
partially offset by a decrease in Federal contributions to
certain services to conform with the long-range market
news financing plan.

Domestic agricultural marketing and distribution functions of the Department are concentrated primarily in
the Agricultural Marketing Service. The marketing job
is increasing in complexity as the market structure is
subjected to near revolutionary changes such as concentration in food retailing, trend toward direct buying,
decentralization of processing, growth of interregional
competition, and growing trend toward vertical integration and contract farming.
l. Marketing research.-This work is directed toward
developing practical answers to problems encountered
in moving products from the farm to the consumer. In
cooperation with public and private agencies and trade

groups, efforts are made to develop objective methods to
determine quality, reduce losses from waste and spoilage,
and improve efficiency in the physical handling of farm
products as they move through marketing channels.
The work includes research at each stage of marketing,
such as assembly points, terminal or central markets,
and retail markets.
The net decrease for 1965 includes funds for stepping
up research to control insects in marketing channels
without harmful residues, eliminates research on market
facility planning and wholesaling and retailing operations,
and reduces research at a number of locations on other
physical handling of farm products in marketing channels.

3a. Poultry inspection.-Inspection of poultry for wholesomeness is provided pursuant to the Poultry Products
Inspection Act of 1957. All poultry moving in interstate
or foreign commerce is required to be inspected both before
and after slaughter. Birds found to be unfit for human
consumption are condemned and removed from channels
of trade.
POULTRY INSPECTION ACTIVITIES

5. Administration and coordination of State payments.This covers the Federal activity required in administering
and coordinating the marketing service work performed
by the States and financed jointly by State funds and
Federal funds provided by the appropriation Payments to
States and Possessions. In 1964, this work will be
carried on in 42 States with 125 work projects.

The increase for 1965 provides for (1) inspection of the
expected increased volume of poultry production and (2)
the cost of the reclassification of poultry inspector positions. A supplemental appropriation for 1964 is proposed
for separate transmittal.
3b. Other in~pection, grading, classing, and standardization.-Nationally uniform standards of quality of agricultural products are established and applied to specific lots
of produce to promote confidence between buyers and
sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings and disputes arising from the use of nonstandard
descriptions; encourage better preparation of uniform
quality products for market; and furnish consumers with
more definite information on the quality of products they
buy. The standards are applied by or under the supervision of Federal employees at the request of any interested
party, and generally for a fee. Approximately 74% of
the total cost of this work was offset by fees and other
revenue in 1963, which are shown principally under
Agricultural Marketing Service trust funds in part II of
the Budget Appendix. Legislation will be proposed to
place poultry inspection and certain other activities on a
self-supporting basis resulting in a reduction of $18,635
thousand for the fiscal year 1965.
4. Regulatory activities.-These include the administration of regulatory laws such as Packers and Stockyards,
Standard Container, U.S. Warehouse, and Federal Seed
Acts, to assure fair play in the marketplace; to protect
producers and handlers of agricultural commodities from
financial loss due to careless or fraudulent marketing practices; and to preserve free and open competition in the
marketing of farm products. Assistance is also provided
to farmers and others in obtaining and maintaining
equitable and reasonable transportation rates and services
on farm products and supplies.

Under existing legislation, 1964.-A proposed supplemental appropriation in the amount of $173 thousand
for reclassification of nonveterinarian poultry inspector
positions.
Late in August 1963, the Civil Service Commission
released poultry classification standards which will raise
the grade level classification of approximately 1,500 positions in the Poultry Inspection Service. The tentative
supplemental estimate of $173 thousand represents the
cost of the reclassification for the last quarter of the year.
The annual cost in 1965 is estimated at $665 thousand.

Payments are made on a matching fund basis to State
marketing agencies for carrying out specifically approved
marketing service programs designed to bring about improved marketing. Under this activity, marketing specialists work with farmers, marketing firms, and agencies
in solving marketing problems and in putting to use
marketing research results.
This program covers such projects as methods of maintaining and improving the quality of products; ways of
reducing marketing costs; expanding outlets for surplus
products; the collection and dissemination of special State
and local market information and statistics; and improving the organizational structure of the marketing system.
Through this cooperative approach, the Federal Govern
ment's leadership and money are coupled with State
resources and experience to aid in the solution of the most
urgent local and area marketing problems.
In 1964, 42 States are conducting about 125 projects
For 1965, the program is projected at the 1963 level.

Personnel Summary

Selected resources as of June 30 are as follows: Unpaid undelivered orders.

1962, $0; 1963, $3 thousand; 1964, $3 thousand; 1965, $3 thousand.

This program is designed to increase the consumption
of fluid milk by children in nonprofit schools of high school
grade and under, child-care centers, summer camps and
similar nonprofit institutions.
From its inception in 1955 through 1962, the program
was financed through advances from Commodity Credit
Corporation funds. The Agricultural Act of 1961 changed
the financing to a direct appropriation beginning July
1, 1962.
1. Cash payments to States.-Funds are advanced to
State agencies to reimburse eligible participants for a part
of the cost of the fluid milk consumed. An initial reserve
is established at the beginning of the fiscal year for each
State based on the total amount of reimbursement pay~
ments made during the preceding fiscal year adjusted for
average growth. In especially needy schools, reimbursement payments may be made for the full cost of this milk
for children who are unable to pay.
In 1963 about 2.8 billion half-pints of fluid milk were
consumed by children-over six times the quantity in
1955, the first year of operation of the program. This
represents over 2.5% of the total nonfarm consumption of
fluid milk in the United States. Milk consumed under
this program is expected to continue to increase at about
6% in 1964. The budget contemplates some reduction in
1965 in the maximum reimbursement rates for milk served
and as a result, growth in the program in that year is
projected at 4%.
Program activities from 1962 through 1965 are as follows:

has assumed the responsibility for its administration or
is prohibited by law from disbursing funds to such participants.

1. Food assisf,ance, in the form of both funds and food,

is provided to the States and possessions in serving lunches
to school children. Each State's portion of the funds
available was determined by a statutory formula through
fiscal year 1962. The formula took into account the
number of school-age children in the State and the relationship between the per capita income of the State and
the average United States per capita income. The amendment to the Act, effective July 1, 1962, changed the
formula to include participation in place of school-age
population. A new provision is also included in the
amendment for providing special cash assistance to needy
schools in serving free or reduced price lunches.
The increase for 1965 would provide for normal growth
in the program, and for initiating a program of special
assistance to needy schools.
The program is operated under an agreement entered
into by the State educational agency and the Department
of Agriculture. Schools make application to the State
agency and if accepted are reimbursed for a part of the
food cost of each meal served. In 1963, the States contributed to this program over $94 7 million, most of which
came from payments by children. This was far in excess
of the statutory matching requirement of $3 for each
Federal dollar of cash payment.
This appropriation is also used to purchase food for
distribution to the schools to help meet the nutritional
requirements of the lunches. Transfers are made to this
appropriation from the fund Removal of surplus agricultural commodities for the purchase and distribution of
agricultural commodities and other foods. Further, commodities acquired under price support and surplus removal
programs, and assistance through the special milk program
are available to the schools. The volume of surplus commodities distributed to schools, however, depends upon
market conditions.
The program during the peak month in 1963 provided
lunches to over 33% of the approximately 45.2 million
school children in the country. The number of lunches
served increased approximately 5.65% over 1962. Participation in the program in December 1962 reached 15
million children in 66,715 schools and an appreciable
increase is expected in 1964 and 1965.
Durins- 1963 about $826 million worth of agricultural
commodities and other foods were used in the program.

License fees are deposited in this special fund and are
used to meet costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities, and the Produce Agency Acts
(7 U.S.C. 491-497, 499a-499s). Public Law 87-725,
enacted October 1, 1962, authorizes an increase in fees
from $25 to a maximum of $50. Effective January 1,
1963, the fee was increased to $36.
These acts are intended to assure equitable treatment to
farmers and others in the marketing of fresh and frozen
fruits and vegetables. Commission merchants, dealers,
and brokers handling these products in interstate and
foreign commerce are licensed. Complaints of violations
are investigated and violations dealt with by (a) informal
agreements between the two parties, (b) formal decisions
involving payments of reparation awards, and (c) suspension or revocation of license and/or publication of the
facts. Approximately 23,000 licenses were in effect on
June 30, 1963, and a decrease of 1,000 is expected in 1964
as a result of the additional exemptions authorized by the
amendment approved October 1, 1962. The number of
complaints received is expected to continue to average
around 2,250.

Under section 32 of the act of August 24, 1935, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 612c), an amount equal to 30% of
customs receipts during each calendar year (except for an
amount equal to 30% of such receipts collected on fishery
products transferred to the Department of Interior to
encourage the distribution of fishery products), and unused
balances up to $300 million are available for expanding
domestic and foreign market outlets for farm commodities.
As provided in recent appropriation acts, transfers have
been made from this fund to the school lunch program for
the purchase and distribution of agricultural commodities
and other foods pursuant to section 6 of the National
School Lunch Act. Section 32 funds are also authorized
for the administration of marketing agreements and orders.
The basic legislation provides that funds devoted to any
one commodity or product thereof must not exceed 25%
of funds available. It also provides that the funds must
be devoted principally to perishable agricultural commodities other than those receiving price support under title
II of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended. It has
been determined that this provision can be legally satisfied
by setting aside or reserving the principal portion of
section 32 funds for the use of perishable nonbasic agricultural commodities when the occasion arises warranting
their use for such purpose.
l. Commodity program payments are of four types: (a)
Direct purchases are donated to the school lunch program,
charitable institutions serving needy persons, and persons
certified by welfare agencies as eligible for relief; (b)
Diversion payments enable processors to purchase surplus
commodities on the domestic market, divert them to byproducts and new uses, and sell them at prices comparable
to competing products, thus creating new markets for
surplus commodities; (c) Export payments enable exporter
to purchase surplus commodities on the domestic market

The use of section 32 program funds is contingent upon
economic conditions. The estimates for both 1964 and
1965 reflect full use of available funds except for the $300
million carryover. Within the total each year, provision
will be made for the foreseeable needs for perishables and
other activities financed with section 32 funds. Some
purchases may be made of commodities which would
otherwise be donated by the Commodity Credit Corporation under section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949.
Distribution of the total in advance would be highly
tentative since the type of program to be used is dependent
upon a determination at the time of the kind of action
which will best meet the particular need which had developed. If troublesome surpluses not now foreseen should
develop, steps will be taken to use additional available
funds for their removal or diversion as conditions might
warrant.
2. Food stamp program aims to encourage increased domestic use of agricultural food commodities among lowincome families through issuance of food coupons which
may be used in retail stores for the purchase of commercialbrand foods. Currently, 43 pilot programs are in operation
in 22 States and an additional two counties in the State of
Washington are scheduled to enter the program in the
immediate future. The budget assumes that in 1965 the
pilot program will continue to be carried on at slightly
above the currently authorized level with financing from
section 32 funds. Legislation is pending to authorize the
program on a permanent basis with financing through a
direct appropriation.
3. Surplus removal operating expenses occur mainly in
connection with purchasing, exporting, and diverting surplus commodities and in distributing section 32 and
Commodity Credit Corporation commodities to eligible
domestic outlets. Distribution in 1963, including that
under section 6 of the National School Lunch Act, which
is financed from school lunch funds, is summarized below

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Supervisory assistance 1s furnished local and State
groups to encourage the preservation of abundant commodities for year-round use. In cooperation with the food
trade, press and radio, greater consumption of abundant
foods is encouraged. In 1963 the monthly plentiful foods
list contained an average of 8 foods, and 7 national and
30 area, State, and local drives were conducted. A reduction in these activities is anticipated in fiscal 1965.
4. Marketing agreements and orders are put into effect
upon request of producers or handlers after hearings and
investigations, and approval by producers (and handlers
in case of marketing agreements). They help to stabilize
prices and benefit producers and consumers by establishing and maintaining orderly marketing conditions. Administration at the local level is financed by assessments
upon handlers. On June 30, 1963, there were 83 orders in
effect for milk and 45 covering tree fruits, tree nuts, and
vegetables. Agreement and order programs pursuant to
the Agricultural Act of 1961 are being financed under this
project. Increased funds for administration of the fruit,
tree nut, vegetable, and milk agreement and order programs are more than offset by the estimated decrease in
activities under the Agricultural Act of 1961.

The primary function of the Foreign Agricultural
Service is to help American agriculture in maintaining
and expanding foreign markets for its products.
The agency performs two principal kinds of service
functions: (a) It maintains a worldwide agricultural in
telligence and reporting service, to assist U.S. agricultural
industry in its export operations. This is done through a
continuous program of analyzing and reporting foreign
agricultural production, markets, and policies; (b) it helps
to develop foreign markets for U.S. farm products through
administration of special export programs and through
helping to secure international trade conditions that are
favorable toward our products.
1. International trade.-The Service directs and coordinates Department participation in the formulation of
trade programs and agreements to stabilize and expand
world trade in American agricultural products, and to
reduce restrictive tariff and trade practices against import
of American agricultural commodities. Of special importance at this time is the relationships with the European Common Market and intensive efforts are being
made to maintain access to the Market for U.S. agricultura.l commodities. This requires comprehemiive analysis
of the developing situation in the Common Market
countries and related trade areas and appropriate representation to officials of the European Economic Community. Recommendations for the departmental positions on trade agreements and international commodity
agreements are formulated. Continuous review is made
of the trade regulations of signatories to the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade as these regulations affect
the movement of American farm products in international
trade. The Service administers a program of import
controls in accordance with section 22 of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1935, as amended.
2. Agricultural attaches.-Agricultural attaches located
in 61 posts assist in the development of markets abroad
for U.S. agricultural commodities. A comprehensive
schedule of foreign agricultural market and trade reporting
is maintained to meet the needs of the American agricultural industry.
3. Export programs.-Maintenance and expansion of
foreign markets for surplus agricultural products are
promoted by (a) developing agreements with foreign

117

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

countries for sales of U.S. agricultural commodities under
Public Law 480, and following up on the shipments of
those commodities; and (b) directing and financing the
operation of market development projects for agricu!tural
products. Market development projects are, in most
cases, carried out in cooperation with commodity trade
groups under cooperative agreements. These projects
carried out in foreign countries expand markets for U.S.
agricultural commodities.
4. Commodity programs.-Information on foreign
market requirements for specific commodities is obtained,
analyzed, and made available to farm and trade groups.
Market programs are developed for use by producers,
exporters, and Government officials to maintain and expand the market abroad for U.S. farm products. Assistance is rendered to domestic trade representatives in
negotiations with foreign government officials, importers,
and consumers and bringing together American exporters
and foreign importers under conditions favorable to trade.
5. Barter and stockpiling.-The Service, in cooperation
with other Government agencies, conducts a barter program designed to utilize surplus agricultural commodities,
in lieu of dollars, in acquiring from other countries, goods,
materials and equipment required by other Government
agencies and for the national and supplemental stockpiles.
This work is financed from other funds transferred from
Administrative expenses, Commodity Credit Corporation.
6. General sales management.-The Service conducts a
general sales management program to develop sales, and
pricing policies and programs for sales for export including
sales for credit. The program also now includes price
and quality review. Foreign data such as prices and
stocks and rail, truck, barge and ocean freight rates and
other market information is collected and recorded for
use in program development. Information concerning
prices and other sales terms, sales programs and commodity availabilities is furnished to U.S. exporters,
foreign importers and foreign government officials. This
work is financed with funds transferred from Administrative expenses, Commodity Credit Corporation.

The major objectives of the Commodity Exchange
Authority are to maintain fair and competitive pricing
in the commodity futures markets by preventing manipulation and other abusive trading practices. Enforcement
of the Commodity Exchange Act requires supervision
over futures trading in 19 commodities on 17 exchanges
currently designated as contract markets. Transactions
on contract markets were estimated at 10. 7 million in
1963, compared with 9.9 million in the 1962 fiscal year.
The average of month-end open contracts in all commodities was approximately 147,000 in 1963, second highest
in a 25-year period, reflecting the long-term rising trend in
the utilization of futures markets.

Payments are also made for abandonment of planted
acreage and crop deficiencies on harvested acreage due to
natural calamities.
The increase of $9.5 million as proposed for 1965 is due
principally to increased conditional payments to sugar
producers. The appropriation requested anticipates that
actual payment requirements for 1965 will be less than
those indicated by the November 1963 crop report. If the
estimated production materializes, it may be necessary to
consider requesting additional funds in order to avoid
serious program difficulties. A supplemental appropriation for 1964 is anticipated for separate transmittal.

Under existing legislation, 1964.-A proposed supplemental appropriation of $15,200 thousand is anticipated
to provide for administration of the 1964 feed grain program pursuant to the provisions of the Feed Grain Act
of 1963. This program will reduce surplus stocks of
feed grains and reduce costs to the taxpayers. Reducing
burdensome stocks will result in decreased carrying costs
to the Federal Government for storage, handling, and
transportation.

Funds are distributed among the States on the basis of
conservation needs. They are, in turn, distributed by the
agricultural stabilization and conservation State committees to counties, and the agricultural stabilization and
conservation county committees make commitments of
conservation practice cost-sharing to eligible farmers and
ranchers.
Loans from Commodity Credit Corporation are used to
make advance payments to vendors for conservation

prior to the time funds are appropriated each year.
Repayment is made from balances of prior appropriations
or from new funds appropriated.

New obligational authority (appropriation) ______________________________

This program is designed to encourage conservation by
sharing with farmers and ranchers the cost of carrying out
approved soil-building and soil- and water-conserving
practices, including related wildlife-conserving practices,
which farmers generally would not perform to the needed
extent with their own resources. The rate of cost-sharing
which may be given in the form of conservation materials
and services or a payment after completion of the practice,
averages approximately 50% of the cost.
Conservation measures for which cost-sharing is offered
include those which are primarily for (1) establishment of
permanent protective cover, (2) improvement and protection of established vegetative cover, (3) conservation
and disposal of water, (4) establishment of temporary
vegetative cover, (5) temporary protection of soil from
wind and water erosion, and (6) benefits to wildlife.
Under the 1962 program, new or additional practices
were established on 1,186,709 farms and ranches, consisting of 174 million acres of cropland and 415 million acres
of farmland. The following practices, along with others,
were installed under the 1962 program:

This program provides for long-range agreements with
farm and ranch owners and operators to make changes in
their cropping systems and land-uses to (1) change
permanently to better productive use cropland that is
not well suited for crop use, and (2) temporarily shift to
better productive use land that is suitable for crop use
but not currently needed for crops.
The agreements provide for payments, the furnishing
of materials and services, and other assistance to farmers
in consideration of their obligations to change the land-use
and to install and maintain conservation practices.
Agreements are limited to a maximum of 10 years. Those
providing for tree cover may not provide for annual
payments for more than 5 years. Present legislation
limits the assistance to farmers to $10 million for any
calendar year.
The program also provides for extension of expiring
contracts under the conservation reserve program, but
limits assistance to farmers for this purpose to calendar
year 1963 and to not more than $15 million.

A number of statutes provide for the facilities of the
Commodity Credit Corporation to be used in carrying
out programs for the exportation of surplus agricultural
commodities thereunder and authorize appropriations to
be made to cover costs incurred in connection with such
programs. Advances are made to the Corporation for
estimated costs to be incurred. If the amounts appropriated prove to be inadequate, the Commodity
Credit Corporation finances authorized costs in excess of
the appropriations pending reimbursement from future
appropriations. On the other hand, any amounts advanced to the Corporation which are not used will reduce
subsequent appropriation requests for these programs.
Activities are currently being carried out under these
programs pursuant to the following specific authorizations:
Public Law 480, 83d Congress: Sale of surplus agricultural commodities for foreign currencies (title I); Commodities disposed of for emergency famine relief to
friendly peoples (title II); Long-term supply contracts
(title IV).
International Wheat Agreement Act.

This program, initiated in 1956, has as its objectiv~s
(1) the adjustment of total crop acreage more nearly m
line with demand by withdrawing cropland from production and (2) establishment and maintenance of sound
con;ervation practices on the land withdrawn. The Secretary was authorized, through calendar year 1960, to enter
mto 3- to 15-year contracts with producers. In return
for removing designated cropland from production and for
establishing necessary conservation practices, the producer
receives an annual rental payment each year of the contract period and cost-sharing assistance for the establishment of the' required practices. The total annual rental
payments to a producer are limited to $5 thousand.
Participation in the program is summarized below:

1. Sale of surplus agricultural commodities for foreign
currencies.-Under the Agricultural Trade Development
and Assistance Act, Public Law 480, as amended (7 U.S.C.
1701-1709), surplus agricultural colnlnodities are sold for
foreign currencies. These currencies may then be used
within certain limitations by the U.S. Government for
agricultural market development, purchase of strategic
materials, military equipment, facilities, and services for
the common defense, payment of U.S. obligations, military
housing, and other specified purposes.
If regular appropriations are available for any unrestricted purpose for which foreign currencies are used,
the agency must buy the currency for dollars which are
credited to the Commodity Credit Corporation. The
estimates reflect the application in 1964 and 1965 of such
proceeds from sales of foreign currencies to the reduction
of unrecovered prior years' costs. The estimates also
reflect the application of dollar repayments of foreign
currency loans made under section 104 of the Agricultural
Trade Development and Assistance Act to the reduction
of unrecovered prior years' costs.
Section 509 of Public Law 86-500, approved June 8,
1960 (74 Stat. 186), provides that at least 75% of the
total cost of any falnily housing project or community
facility hereafter constructed or acquired in any foreign
country (with certain specific exceptions) by any military
department shall be paid for from foreign currencies
acquired by the Corporation under title I. The Department of Defense reimburses the Corporation for foreign
currencies used for military family housing. Pursuant to
section 2681(b) of title 10 U.S.C. as amended, the estimates reflect payment to the Corporation of not to exceed
$6 million annually until liquidation for amounts due
under Public Law 480 and the French housing barter
transaction discussed under Colnlnodity Credit Corporation. It is estimated that $4 million will be applied
against Public Law 480 amounts due.
Through June 30, 1963, a total of 358 agreements or
supplements to agreements, had been signed with 46
countries for colnlnodities representing an export market
value of $9,343.1 million including ocean transportation
of $1,021 million. The major commodities included were
wheat, cotton, and fats and oils which together amounted
to 74% of the total market value of the agreements.


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Through that date colnlnodities with an export market
value of about $6,671.9 million had been shipped. The
total dollar equivalent of foreign currencies deposited in
the Treasury through June 30, 1963, amounted to $6,978.7
million.
Appropriations are authorized to cover costs in carrying
out this program. Through December 31, 1961, a total
of $11.25 billion was so authorized.
Public Law 87-128, approved August 8, 1961, provides
a limitation of $4.5 billion for a 3-year period January 1,
1962, through December 31, 1964, and a proviso that
agreements shall not be entered into during any calendar
year of such period which call for appropriations to
reimburse Commodity Credit Corporation in amounts in
excess of $2.5 billion. The estimates reflect proposed
legislation to extend this program beyond the current
expiration date.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

2. Commodities disposed of for emergency famine relief
to friendly peoples.-Under title II of the Agricultural
Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, Public
Law 480, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1703, 1721-1724), the
Commodity Credit Corporation makes its surplus stocks
of agricultural commodities available to the President
for famine relief and other assistance to friendly nations
and friendly peoples in meeting famine or other relief
requirements and pays ocean freight charges for the shipment of such commodities as well as for the shipment of
commodities donated under section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1431).
Appropriations are authorized for costs incurred in
carrying out the program. Through December 31, 1959,
a total of $800 million was authorized. From January 1,
1960, $300 million per calendar year is authorized through
December 31, 1961, plus unused balances of the previous
authorization, making a total of $1.4 billion.
Public Law 87-128, approved August 8, 1961, amended
section 203 of title II with a proviso that programs of
assistance shall not be undertaken during any calendar
year beginning January 1, 1961, and ending December 31,
1964, which call for appropriations of more than $300
million to reimburse Commodity Credit Corporation for
all costs incurred in connection with such programs,
including Commodity Credit Corporation's investment
in commodities made available, plus any unused preceding
year's authorization. The estimates reflect proposed
legislation to extend this program beyond current expiration date.

make agreements with fr:endly nations, including financial
institutions, or with the private trade under which the
United States would deliver surplus agricultural commodities over periods of up to 10 years and accept payment
in dollars with interest over periods of up to 20 years.
Appropriations are authorized to cover costs not recoverable by repayments from the foreign governments or
private trade.
Through June 30, 1963, a total of 20 agreements and
amendments had been signed with 14 countries for com.
modities representing an export market value of $144.9
million, including ocean transportation of $11.3 million.
The major commodities included were wheat, cotton, rice,
and oils and oilseeds which together amounted to 76% of
the total market value of the agreements.

The International Wheat Agreement Act, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 1641-1642), which was renewed for a period of 3
years effective August 1, 1962, operates to provide an
assured market for wheat to exporting countries at stable
and equitable prices. The maximum and minimum prices
in the 1962 agreement are $2.02½ and $1.62½ per bushel,
respectively, for the basic grade of wheat, No. 1, Manitoba
Northern, at Fort William/Port Arthur, Canada, in terms
of Canadian currency at the parity for the Canadian dollar
determined for the purposes of the International Monetary
Fund as at March 1949. The total quantity subject to
the rights and obligations of the agreement in the 1962-63
crop year represented about 34% of world trade in wheat,
yet the total trade inside and outside the agreement participated in by members of the agreement amounted to
over 90 % of world trade.
Appropriations are authorized to cover the costs of this
program. Funds were previously budgeted for costs
occasioned by reason of the U.S. domestic market price
of wheat being higher than the competitive world price.
It is estimated that, due to the disapproval by wheat
producers of marketing quotas for the 1964 crop year, the
domestic market price will fall below the competitive
world price in fiscal year 1965 and no subsidy payment
will be required. The appropriation requested is primarily for unrecovered prior year's costs.
The Commodity Credit Corporation may make available
wheat or wheat flour to carry out the provisions of the
agreement, including the payment-in-kind to the exporter
for the difference between the prevailing sales price of
wheat under the agreement and the domestic market price.
If required, a cash payment for this differential is made for
flour.

l Statutory obligations against borrowing authority include only borrowings
from Treasury and obligations to purchase notes, certificates or other obligations
evidencing loans held by banks and accrued interest on such obligations. Other
obligations. contingent liabilities and commitments do not become charges against
the statutory borrowing authority until they result in borrowings from Treasury
or in notes, certificates, or other obligations evidencing loans held by banks and
accrued interest on such obligations.

Under its corporate charter (15 U.S.C. 714-714p), and
specific statutes where applicable, the Commodity Credit
Corporation engages in buying, selling, lending, and other
activities with respect to agricultural commodities, their
products, food, feeds, and fibers, for the purpose of
stabilizing, supporting, and protecting farm income and
prices; assisting in the maintenance of balanced and adequate supplies of such commodities; and facilitating their
orderly distribution. The Corporation also makes available materials and facilities required in connection with
the production and marketing of such commodities.
The Corporation has an authorized capital stock of $100
million held by the United States and authority to borrow
up to $14.5 billion.
Programs.-'rhe budget is based on (1) price support,
export, supply, and related programs, and (2) special
activities.
Obligations and expenditures for these programs include
primarily loans, purchases, purchase agreements, carrying
charges, incentive and other payments, operating and interest expenses, and advances and current obligations incident to special activities as authorized by specific
legislation.
Budget a&sumptions.-The following general assumptions form the basis for the Corporation's 1964 and 1965
budget estimates: (a) Employment, production, and national income will rise moderately both in 1964 and 1965
from the present level; (b) on the average, the general level
of prices will be the same as or increase slightly over the
present level; (c) developments in international relations
will not be such as to affect Government civilian programs generally (except as affected by continued inter-

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

national tensions); (d) generally exports of agricultural
commodities, except wheat, in 1965 will be at about current
levels; (e) yields for the 1964 crops generally are based on
recent averages adjusted for trend; and (f) acreage allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect for the 1964
crops of peanuts, rice, cotton, and certain kinds of tobacco.
Marketing quotas for wheat for 1964 were disapproved by
producers. However, it is assumed that marketing quotas
will be in effect for the 1965 crop of wheat.
Compliance with provisions of the Food and Agriculture
Act of 1962 and the Feed Grain Act of 1963 should result
in substantial acreage reductions in feed grains and wheat.
The estimates for the 1964 feed grain program assume
diverted acreage based on probable sign ups by cooperators.
However, the full impact of this program cannot be
accurately predicted until the final returns of actual
participation are received.
It is also assumed that legislation will be enacted to
improve the cotton and dairy programs. Legislation now
pending before the Congress would make cotton available
at lower prices to domestic users while still providing
income support to cotton producers. Several legislative
proposals also are before the Congress which would improve the dairy progTarn. Enactment of cotton and dairy
legislation along these lines would reduce 1965 net budget
expenditures by $230 million.
In considering these estimates, it should be recognized
that it is difficult to estimate requirements for the year
ending June 30, 1965. They are dependent upon weather
conditions and all other factors affecting volume of production of crops not yet planted in this country and
abroad, economic conditions generally, food needs in this
country and abroad, availability of dollar exchange, and
other complex and unpredictable factors.

With limited exceptions, price-support loans are nonrecourse and the Corporation looks only to the pledged or
mortgaged collateral for satisfaction of the loan. Purchase
agreements generally are available during the same period
that loans are available. By signing a purchase agreement, a producer receives an option to sell to the Corporation any quantity of the commodity he may elect within
the maximum specified in the agreement. Direct purchases are made from producers and processors depending
on the commodities involved. Under section 308 of the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of
1954, as amended, such purchases of animal fats and
edible oils and products thereof are authorized as will tend
to maintain the support level for cottonseed and soybeans
without requiring the acquisition of such commodities
under the usual loan and purchase agreements of the
price-support program. Under section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, commodities in private
stocks or acquired through price-support operations are
made available for donation in order to prevent the waste
thereof before such commodities can be disposed of in
normal domestic channels without impairment of the pricesupport program or sold abroad at competitive world
prices. The incentive payment program for wool and
mohair is described under Special activities.
In all its price support operations, the Corporation
utilizes nonnal trade facilities to the maximum extent
practicable. In its lending activities the Corporation uses
local banks, cooperatives, and other financial institutions.
Commercial storage facilities are used to a great extent
in the storage of loan collateral and of stocks acquired by
the Corporation.
Disposition of commodities acquired by the Corporation in its price-support operations is made in compliance
with sections 202, 407, and 416 of the Agricultural Act of
1949, as amended, and other applicable legislation, such
as the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act
of 1954, Public Law 480, 83d Congress, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 1691), title II of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as
amended, the Agricultural Act of 1961, the act of August
19, 1958, in the case of cornmeal and wheat flour, Public
Law 86-299 (7 U.S.C. 1427 note) along with Public Law
87-127, with respect to sale of livestock feed in emergency
areas, the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, and the Feed
Grain Act of 1963.
Price-support commodities in Commodity Credit Corporation inventory which are disposed of through the
commodity export program, redemption of payrnent-inkind certificates, and special activities such as sales for
foreign currencies, are, for accounting purposes, credited
to the price-support program.

Price support.-Price-support operations are carried out
under the Corporation's charter powers (15 U.S.C. 714)
and in conformity with the Agricultural Act of 1949, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 1421), and other applicable legislation
including the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, Public
Law 87-703, and the Feed Grain Act of 1963, Public Law
88-26. Under the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
price support is mandatory for the basic commoditiescorn, cotton, wheat, rice, peanuts, and tobacco-and
specific nonbasic commodities; namely, tung nuts, honey,
milk, butterfat, and the products of milk and butterfat,
barley, oats, rye, and grain sorghums. Price support for
wool and mohair is mandatory under the National Wool
Act of 1954, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1781-1787), through
the marketing year ending March 31, 1966. Price support

than in barters for stockpiling purposes, such commodities
and products may be those held in private trade channels
as well as those acquired by the Corporation in its pricesupport operations. This pro!ITam is carried out under
the authority contained in the Corporation's charter,
particularly sections 5(d) and 5(f), and in accordance
with specific statutes where applicable, such as sections
407 and 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
the International Wheat Agreement Act of 1949, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 1641), the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended, title I of the
Agricultural Act of 1954, title II of the Agricultural Act of
1956, as amended, and section 9 of the act of September 6,
1958. In general, transactions involving foreign currencies are conducted pursuant to the Agricultural Trade
Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended.
However, other such transactions may be conducted
under the charter authority.
The operations described below are illustrative of those
being conducted under this program during 1964. With
respect to barter based on recommendations of the
Executive Stockpile Committee, approved by the President on September 20, 1962, the emphasis has been shifted
from acquisition of strategic and critical materials for the
supplemental stockpile to its use in various types of offshore procurement of materials and services needed by the
Department of Defense, the Agency for International
Development, and other agencies. Commodity Credit
Corporation is reimbursed for such offshore procurement
by the recipient agencies.
To the extent that appropriations are not provided in
advance, obligations under the International Wheat
Agreement, and titles I, II, and IV of the Agricult.ural
Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as
amended, are paid by the Corporation subject to reimbursement from appropriations authorized for such
purpose. These programs are further described under
Special activities and Foreign assistance programs.
In addition to the exports under the International
Wheat Agreement, Corporation-owned wheat is available
for export under barter programs of the Corporation at
competitive world prices and under the Corporation's
export credit sales program. It is also made available to
exporters, in payment of the price differential between the
prevailing world export sales price and the domestic
market price on exports of free-market wheat outside the
International Wheat Agreement and under this agreement. Cash payments are made on all exports of wheat
flour either under the International Wheat Agreement or
outside the agreement. Wheat and flour payments
outside the agreement are made on exports to countries
not participating in the agreement. Export payments on
wheat and wheat flour are not anticipated in 1965, as it is
estimated that the domestic market price will fall below
the competitive world price because of disapproval by
producers of marketing quotas for 1964.
In order to encourage movement of cotton, corn,
barley, grain sorghums, oats, rye, rice, nonfat dry milk,
and milkfat from free-market supplies into export channels, export payments are made in the form of these commoditie:::; from the Corporation's stocks. Export payments
on rice will be made in cash, or certificates will be redeemed
in Commodity Credit Corporation-owned rice and feed

grains. Cotton held in the Corporation's inventory is also
sold for export on a competitive price basis.
The Corporation conducts a cotton products export
program designed to protect the competitive position of
the domestic cotton industry in relation to sales of cotton
products manufactured abroad from American cotton
purchased at export prices. Equalization payments,
based on the raw cotton content in the products exported,
are made to exporters on cotton products of upland cotton
grown and wholly processed in the United States.
The Corporation also purchases wheat and other products from processors or processes its own stocks of such
commodities for foreign and domestic distribution. In
certain cases, payments for such products or processing
costs are made in payment-in-kind export certificates.
Also, the Corporation furnishes agricultural commodities
and products for distribution or exhibition at international
trade fairs to aid in the development of foreign markets for
such commodities. Other programs are carried out to
develop foreign markets pursuant to section 5(f) of the
Corporation's charter.
Storagefacuities.-This program is carried out under the
authority contained in the Corporation's charter, particularly sections 4(h), 4(m), and 5 (a) and (b). The Corporation may (a) purchase and maintain (in storage deficient
areas) granaries and equipment for care and storage of
grain owned or controlled by the Corporation; (b) make
loans for the construction, purchase or expansion of farmstorage facilities; (c) provide storage-use guarantees to
encourage the construction of commercial storage facilities;
and (d) undertake other operations necessary to provide
storage adequate to carry out the Corporation's programs.
Supply and foreign purchase.-This program is carried
out under the authority contained in the Corporation's
charter, particularly sections 5 (b) and (c) thereof. The
Corporation procures foods, agricultural commodities,
their products, and related materials to supply the requirements of Government agencies, foreign governments,
and relief and rehabilitation agencies, and to meet domestic requirements. Foods, agricultural commodities
and their products are procured or aid is given in their
procurement to facilitate distribution or to meet anticipated requirements during periods of short supply. The
Corporation may also, through purchases, loans, sales or
other means, make available materials and facilities
required in connection with the production and marketing
of agricultural commodities.
Operations involving procurement for other Government agencies are conducted in accordance with section 4
of the act of July 16, 1943 (15 U.S.C. 713a-9), which
requires that the Corporation be fully reimbursed for
services performed, losses sustained, operating costs
incurred, or commodities purchased or delivered to or on
behalf of any other Government agency from the appropriate funds of such agency. Operations not subject to
section 4 of the act may involve losses if such are necessary
to the accomplishment of the objectives of the particular
operation.
The main activities now carried on are procurement for
other Government agencies of specialized commodities
not in the Corporation's price-support inventory.
Feed g,rains.-Under section 16 (c), (d), (g), and (h) of
the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as
amended, the Secretary of Agriculture utilizes Commodity
Credit Corporation funds, facilities, and stocks of feed
grains in redeeming or marketing payment-in-kind certificates issued to producers who divert acreage from the
production of 1961 crops of corn and grain sorghums and

1962, 1963, 1964, and 1965 crops of corn, grain sorghums,
and barley under this program.
Wheat stabilization.-Under section 124 of the Agricultural Act of 1961, Public Law 87-128, approved August 8, 1961, and section 307 of the Food and Agriculture
Act of 1962 and section 339(b) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as added by the Food and Agriculture
Act of 1962, the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to utilize its capital funds and other assets for the
purpose of making payments to producers who divert
acreage from the production of 1962, 1963, 1964, and
1965 crops of wheat under this program. Payments are
made by issuance of Commodity Credit Corporation
sight drafts which may be cashed or used for the acquisition of wheat from Commodity Credit Corporation
stocks. Since producers disapproved marketing quotas
for the 1964 crop, the wheat stabilization program is
inoperative for that crop. However, it is assumed that
marketing quotas will be in effect for the 1965 crop.

Undistributed expenses.-There are a number of expenses
which are not allocated to a specific program. These
include interest on (a) the capital stock of the Corporation, (b) borrowings from the Treasury, and (c) other
obligations evidencing loans made by lending agencies;
administrative expenses; and other miscellaneous costs, including expenses of the Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Committees and Federal Reserve
banks in connection with the Corporation's programs.

APPENDIX TO THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1965

COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATl ON-Continued

Administrative expenses are for the operating staff,
including the services of employees of the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Service engaged in the
Corporation's activities, services performed by other
agencies of the Department, costs of audit, and payments
to the General Services Administration for space in the
District of Columbia and rent of field office space. Estimates for 1965 include a limitation of $37.6 million for
costs of administration including a reserve of not less than
7 percent for contingencies. The requested authorization
excludes administrative expenses in connection with the
supply and foreign purchase program, the wool and
mohair program under the National Wool Act of 1954,
the International Wheat Agreement, and the sale of longstaple cotton transferred from the national stockpile,
since it is contemplated that full reimbursement will be
received for these expenses. Such reimbursement will be
obtained and used in 1965 in the same manner as in
previous years.
Expenses in connection with the acquisition, operation,
maintenance, improvement, or disposition of property
which the Corporation owns or in which it has an interest
have been treated as program rather than administrative
expenses. Such expenses include inspection, classing and
grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal or State licensed inspectors and work
performed on a contract basis by Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation County Committees. Capital funds of
the Corporation are transferred to the consolidated appropriation, ~:xpenses, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service as indicaled under that appropriation
item for operating expenses relating to the Corporation's
programs. Also, expenses of other Federal agencies whose
services are utilized in the handling of Commodity Credit
Corporation property are treated as program expenses.
These include the fleet storage operation of the Maritime
Administration conducted intermittently since 1949 and
the services of the General Services Administration in
connection with the strategic, critical, and other materials
acquired by the Corporation. It is contemplated that
removal of all grain presently stored in the fleet will be
completed during the fiscal year 1964.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

(6) Military housing (barter and exchange).-During
1957 a contract was completed for the disposition of
Commodity Credit Corporation-owned commodities
valued at $50 million for the construction of military
housing in France with foreign currencies obtained from
this transaction. Pursuant to section 2681 (b) of title 10
U.S.C. as amended, the estimates reflect payment to the
Corporation of not to exceed $6 million annually until
liquidation for amounts due under Public Law 480 and
the French housing barter transaction. It is estimated
that $2 million will be applied against the amounts due
under the barter program.
(7) National Wool Act.-Under the provisions of the
National Wool Act of 1954, as amended, incentive payments are being used to encourage the annual domestic
production of approximately 300 million pounds of shorn
wool. Support of prices of wool and mohair is mandatory.
Incentive payments are made to eligible producers on a
percentage basis, reflecting the amount required to bring
the national average received by all producers up to the
announced incentive level. The incentive level cannot
exceed 110% of parity. In a referendum conducted in
September 1962, wool and lamb producers voted to continue the deduction from their incentive payment of an
amount not to exceed 1 cent per pound of wool and 5 cents
per hundredweight of unshorn lambs marketed. These
funds financed promotional advertising, and related
market-development activities by the American Sheep
Producers' Council, Inc., under an agreement with the
Secretary of Agriculture. In order to simplify program
and financing operations, the marketing year under this
program was placed on a calendar year basis on January 1,
1964.

item is now included under the Agricultura l Marketing
Service.
(11). Soil bank program.-P ursuant to section 120 of the
Agricultural Act of 1956 (7 U.S.C. 1808) the Secretary of
Agriculture utilizes the facilities of the Corporation for
making payments to farmers under this program. (See
Agricultural Stabilizatio n and Conservatio n Service.)
(12) Cropland conversion, agricultural conservation and
emergency conservation measures programs.- Pursuant to
section 101 of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962,
approved September 27, 1962, Public Law 87-703, the
Secretary is authorized to utilize the services, facilities,
and authorities of the Commodity Credit Corporation for
the purpose of making disbursements to producers under
programs formulated pursuant to sections 8 and 16(e) of
the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as
amended.
(13) Transfer of long-staple cotton from national stockpile
for sale by Commodity Credit Corporatio n.-Tbe act of
July 10, 1957 (71 Stat. 290), authorized the transfer of
50 thousand bales of domestically grown extra long-staple
cotton from the national stockpile to the Corporation for
sale. Approximat ely 219,000 bales of extra long-staple
cotton, both American-E gyptian and foreign grown, remaining in the stockpile were also made available to
Commodity Credit Corporation for disposition pursuant
to Public Law 87-548, approved July 25, 1962. Proceeds
less costs incurred, including admin1strative expenses, are
covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts.
(14) Loans to Secretary of Agriculture for conservation
purposes.-~Under section 391(c) of the Agricultura l Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1391), the
Corporation advances funds to the Secretary in amounts
not to exceed $50 million annually to purchase conservation materials and services. Repayment s of the loitns
plus interest are made t1s soon as practicable in the succeeding fiscal year from funds appropriate d for the agricultural comiervation program.
Pinarwing. -'fhe prognrn1s of the Commodity Credit
Corporation arn financed by capital stock, borrowings,
guarantees to purchase notes or other obligations evidencing loans n:ade by lending agencies, issll:ance of cert~fic:i,tes
of interest m loans held by the Corporat10n, appropnat10 ns
to reimburse Commodity Credit Corporation for net
realized losses, appropriatio ns to reimburse the Corporation for costs of special activities, advances and reimbursements from Foreign Assistance Programs appropriatio ns,
and receipts from operations.
Borrowing authority.- The Corporation has an authorized capital stock of $100 million held by the United
States and authority to borrow up to $14.5 billion.
Funds are borrowed from Treasury and may also be
borrowed from private lending agencies. In connection
with loan guarantees, the Corporation reserves a sufficient
amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any
time all notes and other obligations evidencing loans made
by lending agencies or certificates of interest issued in
connection with the financing of price-suppo rt operations.
All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar obligations
issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by the
Secretary of the Treasury as required by the act of March
8, 1938 (15 U.S.C. 713a-4).
Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on
capital stock) is paid in accordance with a policy of the
Treasury that the rate shall ?e based upon the :1ve~age

(of comparable maturity date) of the United States as of
the preceding month. Interest is also paid on certificates
of interest and lending agency obligations for the period
the agencies have their funds invested.
On the basis of the budgetary assumptions heretofore
described, including proposed legislation, the consequent
estimated program requirements currently indicate no
need for an increase in borrowing authority. Since there
are so many uncontrollable factors affecting the programs
of the Corporation involving crops which have not even
been planted, it must be recognized that estimates of the
use of borrowing authority are highly tentative. Should
program developments occur which would indicate a need
for funds in excess of those contained in these estimates,
or if proposals for farm legislation and interest relief are
not enacted, additional new obligational authority would
be requested.

Note.-This table does not reffect the following charges: accounts payable.
accrued liabilities, and obligations outstanding other than obligations to pur~
chase notes and certificates held by banks and accrued interest on such certificates.
These do not become charges against the statutory borrowing authority until they
result in borrowings from Treasury, loans or certificates held by banks and accrued
interest on such certificates.

Reimbursement for net realized losses.-Pursuant to
Public Law 87-155 (75 Stat. 391), annual appropriations
are authorized for each fiscal year commencing with fiscal
year ending June 30, 1961, to reimburse the Commodity
Credit Corporation for net realized losses sustained as
reflected in its accounts and shown in its report of financial
condition as of the close of each fiscal year.
The realized losses reflected in the accounts of the Corporation and in its report of financial condition as of
June 30, 1963, were $2,654.9 million. Approval of the
proposal for interest-free borrowings on past years'
realized losses (explained below) and proposed farm


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

legislation will enable the Corporation to request a 1965
appropriation of only $1,724 million. This would provide
funds to liquidate prior year commitments and contract
authorizations. It would also leave a desirable operating
margin so necessary to assure flexibility of operations in
view of the tremendous volume of transactions handled by
the Corporation.
A change in appropriation language is being proposed
which will have the effect of terminating at the close of
each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year 1964,
interest on borrowings from the Treasury in an amount
equivalent to the realized losses sustained by the Corporation (1) during the fiscal year 1964 and succeeding
fiscal years, and (2) in prior fiscal years, for which the
Corporation has not been reimbursed by appropriation.
Interest would continue to be charged on borrowings for
losses sustained during a particular fiscal year but not
after the end of that fiscal year. This would limit interest
expenses to borrowings for current operations and would
avoid increasing future appropriation requests by interest
charges resulting solely from deferral of reimbursement
to the Corporation for realized costs and losses applicable
to past operations.
The net realized losses of the Corporation have previously been reimbursed as follows (in thousands of
dollars):

Purpose and financial organization. -The Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation, a wholly owned Government
Corporation, was created on February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C.
1501-1519), to carry out the provisions of the Federal
Crop Insurance Act. The purpose of this act is to promote the national welfare by improving the economic
stability of agriculture through a sound system of crop
insurance and providing the means for the research and
experience helpful in devising and establishing such insurance. The Corporation provides all-risk insurance
protection to farmers against loss from unavoidable
causes. Since 1948, the crop insurance program has been
conducted on a limited basis in selected counties and on
selected crops to obtain adequate actuarial data for the
expansion of the program to a national basis. Based on
past experience, the Corporation began with the 1962
crop year, to expand the crop insurance program at a
more rapid rate to additional counties and commodities.
Capital stock of $100 million is authorized to be subscribed by the United States. As of June 30, 1963, the
Secretary of the Treasury held receipts for $40 million of
the authorized stock, leaving $60 million unissued.
Funds from the issuance of capital stock provide working capital for the Corporation. Receipts which are for
deposit to this fund come mainly from premiums for
insurance protection afforded farmers on their investment
in the production of insured crops. The principal payments from this fund are for indemnities to insured
farmers who suffer crop losses arising from causes against
which crop insurance provides protection, the direct cost
of adjusting losses, and part of the operating and administrative expenses. The annual appropriation for the
major portion of the operating and administrative
expenses of the Corporation is presented earlier in the
budget.
Budget program.-For the 1964 crop year (fiscal year
1965) the crop insurance program will be extended to 100
new counties, and insurance will be offered on 2 additional commodities. The following table indicates the
scope of the insurance program planned for 1963, 1964,
and 1965. Amounts in the 1963 column are actual and
pertain to the 1962 crop year. The 1964 column pertains
to the 1963 crop year and reflects the current favorable
growing conditions for the 1963 insured crops. Indemnities shown in the 1965 column are estimated at 74% of
the estimated premium, and are based upon the 5-year
average from 1958 through the 1962 crop year.

Financing.-Capital of $40 million and the $1.4 million
surplus for the period 1948-62, will provide adequate
operating funds for 1965, unless heavy unforeseen losses
should occur on the 1963 crop between now and the time
of harvest. Therefore, no additional capital is being
requested for program operations.
Operating results and financial condition.-Current estimates for crop year 1963, fiscal year 1964, indicate a favorable loss ratio for the sixth year, out of the past 7 years.
Premiums of $30.5 million are estimated to exceed indemnities by $5. 7 million. Indemnities will exceed premiums
for only three commodities, barley, peaches, and raisins.
For the crop years 1948 through 1962, premium income
of $284.4 million exceeded indemnity costs of $270.6
million by $13.8 million. Premium income exceeded
indemnity costs in 8 years of the 15-year period.
As of June 30, 1963, the Corporation's surplus was $1.4
million. The favorable loss experience which occurred
the past 5 out of 6 years is responsible for the current
favorable financial condition of the Corporation.

by commodities for 1963, 1964, and 1965.

2. Rural telephone.-This capital investment program
is financed through loans which are made for the purpose
of financing the improvement, expansion, construction,
acquisition, and operation of the telephone lines and
facilities or systems to furnish and improve telephone
service in rural areas. The loans bear 2% interest and
must be repaid within a period not to exceed 35 years.
In 1950, when the telephone program started, the Census
of Agriculture showed 38.2% of all farms with telephone
service, fewer in both number and percentage than in 1920.
Approximately 76% of the farms now have telephone service. Cumulative Rural Electrification Administration
loans through June 30, 1963, will eventually provide initial
or improved service to an estimated 1,860 thousand rural
subscribers.

Rural housing direct loans are authorized by title V of
the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, to be made to farm
and non-farmowners of real estate in rural areas, to longterm farm leaseholders, and to senior citizens who are or
will be owners of land in rural areas. Loans are made
only to persons unable to obtain housing credit from other
sources upon reasonable terms and conditions. Direct
loans to individuals are repayable in not more than 33
years and bear interest at 4%. Direct loans to nonprofit
associations are made for rental housing for senior citizens. Grants are made for minor building repair. In

addition to the direct loans and grants, insured loans are
made to provide housing for domestic farm labor, and to
provide rental housing for senior citizens in rural areas.
1. Rural housing grants and loans.-Direct farm enlargement and development loans, along with building
loans, are made to farmowners on potentially adequate
farms who need to develop their farms so as to increase
their income sufficiently to repay the loans. Grants are
made to farmowners, to owners of other real estate and
long-term farm leaseholders in rural areas for such items
as repairing roofs, providing sanitary facilities, providing
an adequate sanitary water supply, and supplying screens.
In some cases, a combination building loan and grant is
made. A building loan or grant or a combination loan
and grant may not exceed $1 thousand.
2. Loans to the elderly.-Direct building loans are made
to senior citizens for the same purposes as building loans
described below, provided they own land or can buy a
small tract in a rural area with loan funds.
3. Building loans.-Direct building loans are made to
farmowners and to owners of other real estate in rural
areas to construct, improve, alter, repair, or replace
dwellings and essential farm-service buildings.
Rental housing loans for senior citizens.-Direct rental
housing loans for senior citizens made to nonprofit corporations or consumer cooperatives at 3%% interest are
repayable in not more than 50 years.
Insured housing loans.-Insured loans are made through
the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund utilizing funds
furnished by private investors. Annual payments of
principal and interest to lenders are fully guaranteed.
The Government retains at least one-half of 1 % of the
interest as an insurance premium.
A. Farm labor housing loans.-Insured farm labor housing loans are made to farmowners or to organizations to
provide modest living and related facilities for domestic
farm labor. These loans are repayable in not more than
33 years and bear interest not in excess of 5%. The law
provides that lenders can receive up to 4H% of the 5%
interest paid by the borrower. The current return to the
lenders is established at 4¼%.
B. Rental housing loans for senior citizens.-Insured
loans to provide moderate-cost rental housing and related
facilities for senior citizens are made to individuals, corporations, associations, trusts or partnerships. These
loans are repayable in the number of years best suited to
the individual case with interest at 5¾% to the borrower.
The Government retains at least one-half of 1% of the
interest as an insurance premium. No loan may exceed
$100 thousand.
Authority to make insured loans for rental housing for
the elderly will expire on June 30, 1964, but extension of
this program is being proposed.

Under proposed legislation, 1965.-Proposed legisla.tion
would amend title V of the Housing Act of 1949 to provide
for a program of insured rural housing loans. Included in
the legislation would be authority for the Federal National
Mortgage Association to include these loans in its secondary market operations. A $350 million level of insured
housing loans is anticipated if the insured loan program
becomes operative early in 1965. Families in the lower
income levels would require an estimated $300 million
annually, and an estimated $50 million annually would be
needed for other applicants. In addition to the $200
million in loans made from the proposed new fund for
later sale, it is expected that approximately $150 million
in loans from private sources will be insured annually.
The Rural Housing Insurance Fund would be used to
insure the farm labor housing and rental housing for the
elderly loans presently insured through the Agricultural
Credit Insurance Fund. Authority to insure rental housing for the elderly loans through the Agricultural Credit
Insurance Fund will expire on June 30, 1964, but extension of this program is being proposed. All of these
loans would be made and serviced by the Farmers Home
Administration.

Direct loan account.-This account was established on
October 16, 1961, pursuant to section 338(c) of the Consolidated Farmers Home Administration Act of 1961.
Real estate and operating loans are made under the
authorities of subtitle A and B of the act to farmers and
ranchers and to associations unable to obtain credit from
other sources at reasonable rates. Loans made under
these and similar prior authorities are reported and
accounted for in this account. In 1964, the total available
for loans, including a $50 million reserve for operating
loans, is $360 million. In 1965, it is proposed to carry out
the estimated loan program of $325 million through
utilization of receipts to the Direct Loan Account representing collections on loans outstanding. No new borrowing authorization is estimated for 1965.
In addition to the direct loans, farm ownership and soil
and water conservation loans advanced by private lenders
will be insured within the annual statutory insurance
authority of $200 million for these purposes. Contingent
liabilities for these insured loans are reflected in the
Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund schedules.
1. Real estate loans-a. Farm ownership loans.-Direct
and insured loans are made to farmers and ranchers for
acquiring, enlarging, or improving farms, including farm
buildings; for financing land and water development, use
and conservation including recreational uses and facilities;
for forestry development; for refinancing existing indebtedness; and for loan closing costs. Loans are confined to
farms which are not larger than family farms. A loan
cannot exceed $60 thousand in any case. In addition, the

indebtedness against a farm or other security, including the
amount of the loan, cannot exceed $60 thousand or the
normal value of the farm and any additional security.

The outstanding principal loan balance for operating
loans is limited to $35 thousand. Loans bear interest at
5% and may be made for periods up to 7 years, but may
be renewed for not more than 5 additional years. Loans
are secured by crop and chattel liens and, when necessary,
by real estate mortgages.

loans are made to farmers and ranchers and to associations
for the effective development and utilization of water
supplies and for the improvement of farmland by soil and
water conserving facilities and practices. Loans to
associations also are made for shifts in land use including
the development of recreational facilities. There is no
limitation on the size of farms that may be improved with
loans to individual farmers. For loans to individuals, a
loan cannot exceed $60 thousand in any case; in addition
the indebtedness against a farm or other security, including the amount of the loan, cannot exceed $60 thousand or
the normal value of the farm and any additional security.
For loans to associations, the unpaid principal indebtedness is limited to $500 thousand in the case of a direct loan
and $1 million in the case of an insured loan.

Farm ownership and soil and water conservation loans
are repayable in not more than 40 years and bear interest
not in excess of 5%. Insured loans are made through the
Agricultural Credit Insurance fund with funds advanced
by private lenders. Annual payments of principal and
interest to lenders are fully guaranteed. The law provides that lenders can receive up to 4½% interest of the
5% paid by the borrower. The maximum return to
lenders is currently established at 4¼%. The Government
retains at least one-half of 1% of the interest as an insurance premium. The Administration services these insured
loans, makes collections, and pays the lender.
2. Operating loans.-Direct loans are made to farmers
and ranchers for paying costs incident to reorganizing a
farming system for more profitable operations; for a
variety of essential farm operating expenses such as the
purchase of livestock, farm equipment, feed, seed, fertilizer and farm supplies; for financing land and water
development, use and conservation including recreational
uses and facilities; for refinancing indebtedness; for other
farm and home needs; and for loan closing costs. Loans
are confined to operators of not-larger-than-family farms.

This fund is authorized by subtitle C of the Consolidated Farmers Home Administration Act of 1961, to
finance emergency loans in areas where agricultural credit
is not readily available because of natural disasters.
Loans are generally confined to areas designated as emergency areas. Loans may be made outside of such areas
to eligible applicants who have suffered severe production
losses not general to the area. Loans also may be made
to previously indebted borrowers to permit orderly repayment of such indebtedness.
Loa-ns-(a) Emergency loans.-Emergency loans are
made at 3% interest to eligible farmers, ranchers, or
o_yster planters and to domestic corporations or partnerships engaged primarily in farming, ranching, or oyster
planting. Loans are made for any authorized purposes
for which operating, farm ownership, or soil and water
conservation loans may be made by the Farmers Home
Administration.
(b) Other loans.-Where necessary to protect the Government's investment, obligations are incurred in connection with outstanding loans to provide for payment of
such costs as taxes and insurance. Such advances are
charged to the borrowers' accounts.
Administrative expenses.-The principal administrative
expenses are related to the loan programs of the Farmers
Home Administration. These expenses are estimated at
$4.2 million in 1964 and $4.3 million in 1965. Administrative expenses for the Office of the General Counsel are
estimated at $20 thousand in fiscal year 1964 and $22
thousand in 1965.
F~nancing the program.-No new budgetary authorization is required for 1965. A net loss of $4.2 million is
estimated on an accrual basis. Expenditures are estimated to exceed receipts by $5.9 million on a cash basis
due primarily to excess loans made over receipts during
the year. During 1965, the program will be wholly
financed by receipts from operations.
Operating results and financial condition.-Revenue for
1965, consisting principally of interest on loans, is estimated at $2.7 million, compared to expenses of $6.9
million, resulting in an estimated loss of $4.2 million. A
net loss of $4.3 million is estimated for 1964, and a net
loss of $4.3 million resulted in 1963.
Loans receivable, after allowance for losses, are expected
to amount to $85 million on June 30, 1965, as compared
to $83.7 million on June 30, 1964, nnd $74.8 million on
June 30, 1963.
The Government investment at June 30, 1965, is expected to be $107.4 million consisting of $205.8 million
appropriated and donated, less a deficit of $98.4 million.

POSITION WITH RESPECT TO INSURANCE AUTHORITIES
[In thousands of dollars]

1963 actual

This fund is used to insure farm ownership loans, soil
and water conservation loans, farm labor housing loans
and loans for rental housing for senior citizens, as authorized by subtitle A of the Consolidated Farmers Home
Administration Act of 1961, and sections 514 and 515(b)
of title V of the Housing Act of 1949. The insurance
endorsement on each insured loan includes an agreement
by the Government to purchase the loan after a specified
initial period of not less than 3 years, at the holder's
option. The initial fund of $1 million is supplemented by
loan insurance charges collected from insured loan borrowers and by borrowing from the Secretary of the Treasury. A portion of such loan insurance charges equal to
at least one-half of 1% of the outstanding principal
obligations must be deposited to the fund to cover losses.
The remainder of such charges may be used for administrative expenses. Loans other than farm labor housing
loans may be made directly from the fund from available

https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

receipts or borrowings from the Treasury for the purpose
of acquiring blocks of loam; if there is reasonable assurance
that the loans can be sold to investors without undue delay.
With respect to loans made from this fund, not more
than $25 million for farm ownership and soil and water
conservation loans and not more than $10 million for
loans for rental housing for senior citizens may be held in
the fund at any one time. Interest paid the Secretary of
the Treasury on borrowings is based on the current
average market yield of outstanding marketable obligations of the United States having maturities comparable
to the notes issued for borrowings from the Treasury for
operation of the fund.
Budget program.-Capital outlay is estimated at $206.1
million in 1965, an increase of $26.0 million over 1964 and
an increase of $20 .4 million over 1963. Included in capital
outlay is $127.1 million in 1964 and $120 million in 1965 for
making loans from the fund which will later be sold on an
insured basis. The increase in 1964 and 1965 in sale of
loans from the fund is expected to result from the relatively
favorable market for insured loans. Insured loans outstanding which are contingent liabilities against the insurance fund are expected to increase from $474.3 million on
June 30, 1963, to approximately $653 million at June 30,
1964, and to $805 million by June 30, 1965.
Financing.-Net borrowings from the Treasury in 1965
are estimated at $6.7 million and in 1964 at $3.9 million.
Operating results and retained earnings.-Total revenue,
consisting principally of loan insurance charges is estimated at $7.3 million in 1965, an increase of about $2.1
million from 1964.
Outstanding loans receivable of $60.8 million are estimated at June 30, 1965. Retained earnings, available to
cover future losses, are estimated to be $16.8 million at the
end of 1965. These earnings, when added to the initial
$1 million appropriation and estimated borrowings of
$48.4 million from the Treasury, represent a $66.2 million
Government investment.
Extension of legislative authority, 1965.-The authority
provided in section 515(b) of title V of the Housing Act of
1949 to insured loans for moderate-cost rental housing and
related facilities for senior citizens expires on June 30,
1964. It is proposed to extend this authority to permit
the making of such insured loans during 1965. The level
of this program in fiscal year 1965 is estimated at $5 million.

APPENDIX TO THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1965
Program and Financing (in thousands of dollars)

FOREST SERVICE
The Service carries on three primary functions: (a) Protection, development, and use of about 186 million acres
of land in national forests and national grasslands in the
United States and Puerto Rico; (b) forestry research for
all public and private forest lands and related ranges to
improve protection from fire, insects, and diseases; to
increase production of timber, forage, water, and other
products; to improve methods for developing and managing recreation resources; to develop better utilization and
marketing of forest products; and to maintain a current inventory of forest resources through a nationwide forest
survey; and (c) cooperation with States and private forest
landowners to obtain better fire protection on approximately 450 million acres of forest land and nonforest
watersheds, and better forest practices on about 358
million acres of privately owned commercial timberlands,
to encourage reforestation and stimulate development and
management of State, county, and community forests.
These primary functions include construction and maintenance of roads and trails, control of forest pests, protection
against floods, land acquisition and exchange, and a number of cooperative projects.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

l. Forest land management-(a) National forest protection and management.-The 154 national forests and_ 18
units of national grasslands are managed under multiple
use and sustained yield principles. The natural resources
of outdoor recreation, range, timber, watershed, and
wildlife are utilized in a planned combination that will
best meet the needs of the Nation without impairing
productivity of the land. T?-ese . managem~nt and
utilization principles were recogmzed m th~ Multiple UseSustained Yield Act of June 12, 1960 (Pubhc Law 86-517,
74 Stat. 215). Work programs and budget estimates are
related to the development program for the national
forests, a plan to meet the increasing demands for specific
national forest resource needs through 1972 and for longterm objectives to the year 200~. Increases are provided
in the budget to furt_her attamment of tl:e~e p_rogram
objectives. Construction funds of $15.5 million m 1~64
and $15 million in 1965 are budgeted, compared with
$17 .1 million used in 1963, for construction or rehabilitation of campground and picnic facili~ies and othe! recreation improvements, the construction of dwellmgs or
barracks for employee housing, fire lookouts, service and
storage buildings, communicat~on facilities, and ot~er
improvements. Funds appropriat~d un1er Coope~at~ve
range improvements are merged with this appropriat10n
for obligational purposes.

(b) Fighting forest fires.-This provides_f_o~ employment
of additional manpower and other facilities for forest
fire emergencies which cannot be met by the fire _control
organization provided under national forest protection and
management. Costs above the amounts estimated for the
current and budget years are authorized to be met from
advances from other Forest Service appropriations (repayments of such adva~ces were ma1~ in 1964 to Cooperative work Forest Service). In addition, a supplemental
appropriation for 1964 is anticipated for separate
t.ra.mimi t.t.il.l.

(c) Insect and disease control.-Activities to suppress
and control destructive insects and diseases that threaten
timber areas include two types of work carried on jointly
by Federal State and private agencies: (I) Surveys on
forest land~ to detect and evaluate infestations of forest
insects and infections of tree diseases and determination
of protective measures to be _taken, and _(2) control
operations to suppress or eradicate forest msects and
diseases, including white pine blister rust.
(d) Acquisition of lands.-Lands are purchased to protect the watersheds of navigable streams and to inc~ease
the production of timber with the approval of the National
Forest Reservation Commission.
2. Forest research.-Research is conducted at 10 regional
forest experiment stations, the Forest Products Laboratory, and elsewhere.
(a) Forest and range management.-This research P!Ovides private and public land managers and owners with
a sound basis for management of timber, forage, and
watershed lands. Studies are conducted to maintain a
sustained yield of products at the lowest possible costs;
increase forage for domestic livestock and improve
habitat for wildlife without damage to soil, watershed, or
other values· assure maximum regular flow of usable
water and r~duce floods and sedimentation; and improve
meth~ds for developing and managing recreation resources.
(b) Forest protection.-Research is conducted to develop
sound measures for the protection of forests from damage
by fire, insects, and disease_s. . Forest fire research provi~es
improved methods of pred1ctmg fire danger, and preparmg
for and combating fire by combinations of ground and
aerial methods. Insect and disease research develops
direct controls, silvicultural measures, and biological
agents to combat forest pests.
(c) Forest products and engineering.-Studies are conducted to develop new and improved forest produc_ts,
reduction and utilization of waste, and use of low-quality
wood and less desirable species. They include studies to
reduce costs of logging and wood utilization, and to
develop basic knowledge of wood and disseminate this to
forest owners, manufacturers, fabricators, and consumers.
Research is also conducted to advance the mechanization
and efficiency of forestry operations, and to develop and
evaluate machines and similar equipment for such operations as logging, planting, timberstand improvement, and
protection of forests.
(d) Forest resource economics.-These investigations are
conducted to inventory and appraise the condition of
forest lands, volume and quality of standing timber,
ownership of timber resources, annual growth and deple~
tion, and the potential need for timber products. Studies
of the economics of forest crop production and of marketing of forest products are also included.

3. State and private forestry cooperation.-This program,
carried on in cooperation with the States, encourages
private timber management. Privately owned forest
lands comprise three-fourths of the Nation's commercial
forest area and produce about 85% of all timber cut.
(a) Forest.fire control.-Assistance is furnished 49 States
in preventing and suppressing forest fires on private and
State-owned lands by financial aid, training, procurement
of equipment, and a nationwide fire prevention campaign.
About 94% of the 450 million acres of non-Federal
ownership is now partially covered. During 1962 the
acreage burned on protected areas was 0.38% as against
an estimated 8.9% on unprotected lands. Of the total
expenditures under this program, 80% is contributed by
States and counties, 2% by private owners, and 18% by
the Federal Government.
(b) Forest tree planting.-To encourage woodland owners to reforest unproductive portions of their holdings, and
farmers to plant wind barriers around their fields and
farmsteads-a total of more than 70 million acres altogether-the States provide planting stock at reasonable
prices. The Federal Government shares the cost of producing the stock with the State and private landowners.
(c) Forest management and processing.-In cooperation
with State foresters, 590 projects in 2,399 counties are
operated to aid small woodland owners in applying good
management to their timber holdings. In 1963 these
projects served some 101,800 owners and 5.7 million acres.
(d) General forestry assistance.-Technical forest management assistance is provided to State, community,
private, and other Federal agencies, forest industries,
colleges, and landowners.

Roads and trails are essential to protection and management of national forests and utilization of their resources.
The system consists of approximately 186,067 lniles of
earth- or gravel-surfaced roads and 105,626 miles of supplemental trails.
The Federal Highway Act of 1962 provides authorizations of $70 million for 1964, and $85 million for 1965.
These authorizations are available for obligation a year
in advance of the year for which authorized. The 1964
appropriation provided for utilization of $65 lnillion of
the $70 million 1964 authorization. This budget provides
for utilization of $72.5 million of the $85 million 1965 authorization. At this level, the 1965 program will involve
the construction and reconstruction of about 1,900 miles
of multipurpose roads, of which about 1,100 miles are
primarily for access to harvest national forest timber.
This compares with 1,151 miles built in 1963 and 1,408
miles being built in 1964.
Of the amounts received annually from national forest
activities, 10% is available under the permanent appropriation Roads and trails for States, for construction and
maintenance within the State from which such proceeds
are derived. Such amounts are merged with this appropriation for obligational purposes.
