Welfare

The President requested 1907
million for welfare and health
programs, a cut Of $14 million
from current costs. The re-
duction. he said, was made pos
sible by an anticipated decrease
in public assistance grants to
the States. expected to result
from the program he has just
sent to Congress calling for an
expansion In the old age in
Surance and survivors program
which is financed by payroll de-
auctions.
Provision also is made in the
new budget for starting a pro-
gram the President urged on
Congress earlier this week to
underwrite an expansion In pri-
vate health insurance coyerage
and provide increased hospital
facilities.
The President estimated that
the school lunch program will
cost the government $218 million
next year, as compared to $206
this year.

Agriculture

Gen. Eisenhower acked 81, 1866
million for next years farm pro-
gram, as compared to $2.654 mill
lion in fiscal 1854. He said
his recommendations ARE de-
signed to help in the solution Of
pressing immediate problems. "
He listed as examples, the hard
ships arising from severe
drought in major farm areas,
the squeeze on livestock pro-
ducers resulting from lower
cattle prices, and the disposal
Of excess stocks Of wheat. cotton,
vegetable oils and dairy products
which have been accumulated
under provisions of price support
laws presently in force"
The budget also is predicated,
the President said, on q long
range administration plan to
build a more sable farm
economy.
Gen. Eisenhower called for a
reduction of SAT million in the
current price support. supply
and purchase programs, which
are costing LISP million. He also
re-emphasized his recommen-
dalton for q new flexible
price support law, mot only in
the interest Of the farmers. but
also in the national interest"

to reduce funds for education
and general research from $278

principal cut-$6O million-af-

FOLLOWING is a partial teri of
President Eisenhower's general
discussion of the Governments
fiscal situation as contained in
his budget message to Con-
greSS:
To the Congress of the
United States:
I am transmitting herewith
the budget of the United States
for the fiscal year ending June
80. 1855.
When this administration
took Office on January 20 Of
last year one Of its first con-
Germs was the budget for the
1854 fiscal year, which had
been sent to the Congress on
January 8. 1858. by the pre-
vious administration. With
the cooperation of the Con-
gress that budget promptly
was revised and reduced. This
new budget is the first pre-
pared entirely by this admin
istration.
It provides adequately. in
my judgement, for the ma
tional defense and the inter-
national responsibilities Of the
Observation-Disclosures which
we must undertake as a leader
of the free world. On the sue
cess of this leadership depends
our national security and pros
perity. The budget also pro-
vides adequately for the cur
rent needs of the Government
and for constructive forward
. steps in our domestic respon-
sibilities and programs.
The recommended budget
continues the strengthening of
our military posture; OUR prog
ress in the development and
production of atomic weapons:
the expansion Of our system Of
continental defense; assistance
in the development Of the mill
tary strength of friendly ma
tions: and programs for rapid
mobilization if an emergency
should arise.
This budget continues the
progress that has been made
during the past year in re-
ducing both requests for new
appropriations and Govern
ment expenditures. The feduc- :
tions in expenditures already
accomplished, together with
those now proposed. justify the
tax reductions which took eff
feet January 1 and the fur
ther tax reviSionS I am recon-
mending. These lower taxes
will encourage continued high
capital investment and con-
sumer purchases. Despite the
substantial loss Of revenue
caused by these tax reductions,
we have moved closer to a bal
anced budget.
One of the first problems Of

General Policy Seeks
Efficiency and Economy

This administration is dedi-
Gated to greater efficiency and
economy in meeting the Ma
tons security requirements
and the necessary and valid
functions of the Government.
The current estimates of the
1854 budget show that the
requests for new appropria-
tons were reduced about 1875
billion dollars. new obliga-
tional authority was reduced
more than IL billion dollars.
and expenditures were reduced
Z billion dollars below the
totals estimated in the 1854
budget document of the pre-
vious administration.
Similar reductions continue
in the budget recommended
for the fiscal year 1855.
Recommended new obliga-
tional authority is "A billion
dollars less than the current
estimate for the fiscal year
1854. 15.5 billion dollars less
than recommended for that
year in the 1854 budget docu-
ment. and 23.9 billion dollars
less than in 1853. Estimated
expenditures for the fiscal year
1855 are So billion dollars less
than the current estimate for
the fiscal year 1854, 1913
billion dollars less than recon-
mended in the 1854 budget
document, and 8.4 billion dol
lars less than in 1858.
Thus, new obligational au-
thority has been reduced l5.5
billion dollars and estimated
expenditures have been re-
duced 1873 billion dollars since
this administration took Office.
These reductions justified
lower taxes. Without tax re-
auctions. budget surplus was
in sight for the fiscal year
1855.
So that most of the new saw
lngs could be passed along to
the taxpayers of the Nation
as a whole, with beneficial eff
fects on our entire economy,
I believed it best to adopt a
course leading toward the
twin goals of a balanced budg-
ct and tax reductions.
The reductions in 1854 ex-
penditureS were devoted to
reducing the large deficit fore
cast in the 1854 budget docu-
ment. The anticipated savings
in 1885 budget expenditures
already have been reflected in
the tax reductions of January
! Of this year and are also
reflected in the tax revisions
I am recommending In this
message.
Together these tax reduce
tons will total nearly IS bill
lion.

Debt Management
Presents Problems

stone of financing policy I'M
der this administration. The
problem of debt management
is not one of Offering securi-
ties for cash or refunding
which the market will take,
but of appraising the eco
nomic situation and adapting
financing plans to it, so that
as far as possible debt man
agement does not contribute
to either imitation or deflation.
This means close co-opera-
ton with the Federal Reserve
System, whose duty it is under
the law to administer the
money supply, with these
same detectives in view.
Nearly three-quarters of the
debt we inherited a year ago
natures within less than five
years or is redeemable at the
holders option. Too large a
proportion is in the hands of
banks. This is the result of
financing over a period of
years too largely by short-term
issues at artif1cially low in
terest rates maintained by
Federal Reserve support. These
policies contributed to cheap
ening the dollar.
A start has been made in
frightening the maturities of
the debt, as well as obtaining
a wider distribution among in
dividuals and other non-bank
investors. In our 1853 debt
operations, maturities were
heightened in five out of nine
times.
There is every reason to
look forward with confidence
to this country's ability to put
its financial house in better
order without serious disrup-
ton of credits or markets. The
stream of the Nations savings

Based on Assumption
OF Stable Conditions

In preparing this budget the
administration has directed its
attention to essential activities
and programs rather than to
those which soue might con-
slider desirable and appropri.
ate. at this time, for the Fed
eral Government to undertake.
It assumes fairly stable condi-
tions. internally and exter-
nally. during the period it
covers. It allows for the con-
tinuing heavy demands of the
national security programs on
the budget. But as We con-
tinue to reduce and eliminate
the less desirable or the un-
necessary Government expen-
ditures. 1t will become possible
to turn to other purposes
which are the most desirable
in terms Of their benefits to all
of the people.
This budget marks the be-
ginning of a movement to
shift to State and local gov
ernments and to private
enterprise Federal activities
which can be more appropri-
ately and more efficiently car
ried on i, in that way. The
lending activities of the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
ton; the services provided by
the Inland Waterways Cor
poration; certain agricultural
activities: and some aspects of
our health, education. and
welfare programs are examples
of this type of action. In
those cases where Federal par
ticipation is necessary. the eff
fort of this administration is
to develop partnerships rather
than an exclusive and often
paternalistic position for the
Federal Government.
This budget also benefits
from material savings from
the decreased costs Of Fed
eral operations resulting from
our constant effort to improve
the management of Govern
ment activities and to find
better and less expensive ways
of doing the things which

The President asked for a SIG
million increase to 1891 million
for labor activities. He explained
that about three-fourths of the
sum would go for placement
and unemployment compensa-
ton services.
Gen. Eisenhower also sought
extension Of the Unemployment
Compensation Law to cover
firms with one or more en-
ployes. instead Of the present
level Of eight or more.

bring the budget under better

TALLY accomplished in the re-
vision Of the original budget
document for the fiscal year
1854. Now an amount ap-
proximately equal to the saw
ings made in this new budget
is being returned to the public
in tax reductions and tax re-
visions. This amount substan-
TALLY exceeds the estimated

the fact that this is a. sharp
reduction as compared to the.I
corresponding figure for recent
years. He pointed out the Gov
eminent had committed itself to
heavy future expenditures in the
period of Korean hostilities. This,
he indicated. had saddled his
administration with a burden
some backlog of bills to be paid.
I'VE now are reducing the
large amount of upflnanced COM
mitmentS incurred under past
appropriations and are making
possible lower future levels of
expenditures" the President said.
He estimated that Is per cent
of the 1855 budget expenditures
would result from obligations
incurred in previous years.
$37 Billion for Military.
The $44.9 billion security pro-
gram in the new budget includes
expenditures on the military es-
Enlistment itself of $37.6 billion.
1t also includes a record alloca-
ton of $2.425 million for atomic
energy development, as well as
$4,275 million for foreign mill
tary aid and $585 million for
stockpiling strategic materials.

the allied military forces. Gen.
Eisenhower said the United
States will have spent more than
So billion on foreign military aid
by the end of fiscal 1854, helping
its allies equip the equivalent of |
ITS army divisions, 220 air force |
squadronS. 1900 naval aircraft, |
440 naval vessels and related |
units.
Without all of these forces |
the United States would be faced |
with potential defense burden |
so costly that it could well sap
the economic vitality of our Ma
tion." the President said. These
forces constitute an integral part |
of the military strength of the
free world"
Toward q Peaceful Atom.
In proposing record expendi-
lures for atomic energy develop
ment,i Gen. Eisenhower said the
program of the t~~-~'" Energy /
Commission contemplate 18th |
new efforts to advance peacetime |
applications of atomic energy,
and also additional production

Gen. Eisenhower asserted |
that new legislation should be |
enacted to permit private in
dustry and other public and |
private groups to have a share
in atomic development for peace
full purposes.
4. Would Amend Act.
The President reiterated his |
intention to seek changes in the |
Atomic Energy Act which would |
permit with adequate safe
guards. q greater degree of ex-
change Of classified information |
with our allies in order to |
strengthen their military de- |
lenses i. and to enable them |
to participate more fully in the
development of atomic power
for peacetime purposes.
Gen. Eisenhower added he
will seek an amendment to per-
NIT transfer of fashionable ma
terial to friendly nations to as
sist them in developing peace
time uses of atomic energy.
These recommendations, he
explained, are in addition to his
proposal before the United Ma
tons for an international atomic
peace pool" This too would
require additional legislation.
Finally, looking at the other
side of the atomic warfare coin,
Gen. Eisenhower asked 500 mil
lion for civil defense.
Other subjects treated in the
budget to more than routine at
tention were as follows:

But we will continue deter
mined efforts for economy to
reduce that deficit during the

loss of cash revenue from the
tax reductions and revisions.
the total cash transactions of

lie are now estimated to show
a small cash surplus for the

The Presidents program for

ces calls for expenditure of

cline of $50 million from the
current level. About three
fourths of the total would be
for flood control, irrigation,
power, and multiple purpose
river basin development.
ITO keep the Federal finan-
cial burden at a minimum while
defense expenditures remain
high, some improvements and
program expansions which might
have been desirable have not
been included in this budget, :"

Veterans

For the more than 20 million
veterans, who with their fam

the population, the President
proposed expenditures of $4,192

Compensation and pensions
