Army procurement and produc-
tion. The existing authority
granted by the Congress during
the Korean War. plus certain
reimbursement received since
then have made 1t unnecessary
to request new spending aut-
thority for this purpose in recent
years. Beginning in fiscal year
1859, the Army's need for such
spending authority will recur.
The $5l6 million item is re-
quested now to enable the Army
to phase efiiciently into this
new period and to ease the i'm
pact Of this adjustment In fiscal
year 1859. At the expense OF
efhcient programming. the sum
can be withheld II the House so
chooses. Such action would, Of
course. increase by $5l6 million

ito be authorized for Army pro-
icurement and production in
fiscal year 1859.

half Of this reduction in new
spending authority can be re-

year. and part of these expen-
diture reductions will have to
be restored in the future. Such
expenditure reductions as may
result. however. will add to the
$l.8 billion surplus already pro-
jecte dby the budget. Given

nomic growth and Of strict ex-
penditure control. these figures

a thing Of the past.
By adhering to the same o,
similar guidelines. the House
can help continue the progress,
already made.
Regarding the House appea
for guidance on specific budg.
etary items, I will comment first
on the actual expenditure.
projected for next fiscal yea,
and will later discuss possible
reductions in new spending
authority.
Some Set by Law
At the outset. we need to re-
mind ourselves that, as in every
household budget. all Federal
expenditures are not equally
subject to control. Many Fed
|eral expenditures are rigidly
prescribed by law. Others are
bills that simply have to be paid
In the 1858 fiscal year, such un-
|avoidable expenditures will total
$l7.6 billion. or "a per cent of
all Federal expenditures. These
funds must be spent for such
items as veterans pensions.
public assistance. and the in
terest on the public debt. The
substantial reduction" called
for by House Resolution 100
cannot be made in this part of
the budget until and unless the
Congress revises or repeals the
governing laws.
In the second place, SO per
cent Of projected expenditures
next fiscal year-some $45 bill
lion-will support programs re-
lated to the protection of our
country. Departmental estimates
in this area were most care
fully examined and prudently
reduced before they were sent
to the Congress. foresee no
early lessening of international
tensions and dangers as would
justify a significant downward
revision in our defense and re-
lated programs. The fact is, as
We carry forward our efforts for
more peaceful world conditions,
rapid archaeological advances in
ships. aircraft, nuclear weapons.
missiles and electronics press
constantly for more, not fewer
Federal dollars. I most solemnly
advise the House that In these
times a cut Of any appreciab BILE
consequence in current expend-
itures for national security and
related programs would endan-
ger our country and the peace
Of the world.
The remaining expenditures
in the budget approx
mate SO billion. 13 per cent OF
the total. These support the
rest OF the Federal Government

am. Of course. aware of the
cuts thus far proposed by the
House. These will be absorbed
wherever possible without serious
injury to programs essential to
the public interest. Where such
cuts cannot be 50 absorbed, the
Executive Branch must and will
seek restoration of the needed
funds. Some of the House cuts"
have involved large sums that
the Executive Branch Is COM
PEELED by law to pay. Cuts" of
that kind do not save money and
must be later restored through
supplemental appropriations un-
less the governing statutes are
revised.
Other Moves Suggested
Aside from scrutinizing indi-
vidual expenditures and reduc-
ing new spending authority as
suggested above, strongly urge
the House also to improve the
Federal budgetary situation BY
taking such steps as these, most
OF which I have urged before:
First-Adjust postal rates as
soon as possible to reduce and
eventually eliminate the postal
deficit.
Second - Establish interest
rates for Government loan pro-
grams that will induce private
funds to participate in their f.
and. at the least. re-
quire that such rates cover the
borrowing costs of the Federal
Government.
Third-Provide user charges
as. for instance, for the use OF
Federal airway facilities, that
will relieve the general public
Of having to subsidize govern
services affording special
benefits.
Fourth-Require State finan-
cial participation in Federal dis
aster assistance programs.

reduction" assume, applies tt

Procedure Explained
There are thousands OF item.
in the budget. each an individual
fiscal plan to carry forward q
new program or program pre-.
Iviously authorized by the Con.
gress. The preparation of these
items begins long before the
Congress acts. with the result
that the budgetary process places
ia high premium on judgment
and foresight. Because depart
mental needs must be forecast
q year or more in advance, nc
responsible official would realis-
tically contend that every esti-
mate for every item Is precisely
correct and could be changed
only at the risk of serious public
injury. or that the funds re-
quested are certain to meet all
future needs.
Nevertheless. painstaking ef-
forts were made in preparing
the budget to pare to the min
imum all projected expenditures
and programs, whether large OF
small. Estimates were substanti-
ally reduced before the budget
document was submitted to the
Congress. and at my request a
searching reexamination by all
departments and agencies has
continued to go forward since
that time in an effort further
to reduce expenditures whenever
possible. will later discuss pos
sible reductions in new spending
authority disclosed by these
mounths of continuing review.
Before turning to budgetary
specifics. however, invite at
tention to certain general guide
lines that. to the extent existing
law permitted. were applied in
formulating the 1858 budget.
These may be helpful to the
House in reaching its own
budgetary decisions:
First. the Federal Government
should undertake only essential
activities that the people cam
not sufficiently provide for them
selves or obtain adequately
through private voluntary action
or local or State government.
Both the Congress and the ex-
ecutive branch should adhere
closely to this principle in the
interest of sound, economical
Government.
Economy Plea
Second, in times like these
Government spending should be
held below income in order to
lead the way to further reduce
tions in taxes and the public
debt.
Third. all governmental ex-
penditures should remain under
close scrutiny In the interest of
strict economy and, in the cur
rently prevailing prosperity. to
help relieve competing demands
for economic resources.
Such guidelines have proved
Evening star., 1957-04-18


Dear Mr.. Speaker:
] am sure many members o.
the Congress are as gratified a.
I am to note the growing aware.
ness of private citizens that thu
dollars spent by the Federal Gov.
ernment are In fact their owr
dollars. and that Federal bene.
fits are not free but must bs
paid for out Of taxes collected
from the people. It is good tc
see this realization developing
into a widespread insistence that
Federal activity be held to the
minimum consistent with ma
tional needs. AS this sentiment
grows. our country will be
strengthened in many ways.
The evident responsiveness oi
the Congress to this attitude
find equally encouraging. as
sure you and your colleagues that
the executive branch will con.
tinue to cooperate fully with
members of the Congress who
work for sensible control of Fed
eral spending.
In House Resolution 100 adopt
ed last March, noted the as
sertion that the public interest
requires a substantial reduc-
ton" in the 1858 budget and also
the request that I advise the
House where reduction Of that
magnitude could best be made.
Product Of Survey
You will recall that last jan
uary. Immediately after the
budget was presented to the
Congress, I requested the Direc-
tor Of the Bureau Of the Budget
to resurvey the expenditures of
every department and agency in
an effort to find additional items
that could properly be reduced.
] have kept in close touch with
those efforts. Some Of the prin-
cipal results are outlined in this
letter.
You realize. Of course, that
the 1858 budget. as all Federal
budgets, is in effect two budgets
within one. One consists Of re-
quests for new spending author
ity which enable Federal agen-
cies to obligate themselves to
make expenditures sometime in
the future. The other concerns
the actual expenditures of the
agencies in the next fiscal year.
These expenditures will be made
partly pursuant to spending au-
thority. For example. one-third
of the total actual expenditures
in the 1858 fiscal year will be
made pursuant to spending au-
thority granted not on the basis
OF the 1858 budget but on the
basis of spending authority re-
quested in earlier budgets. This
problem emphasize because of
its importance in appraising the
effect of cuts in new spending
authority which. one might
assume. will reduce the level of
current spending but in fact may
affect only future spending.
The House resolution, for in
stance. does not distinguish be-
tween these two budgetary prob
