BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress of the United States:
I am transmitting the Budget for the fiscal year 1948. It includes
recommendations for the entire Federal program.
Expenditures under existing and proposed legislation are estimated
at 37.5 billion dollars and revenues under existing ta.x laws at 37.7
billion dollars, leaving a very slight margin of surplus.
I strongly recommend that the Congress take early action to con-
tmue throughout the fiscal year 1948 the war excise-tax rates, which,
under the present law, will expire July 1, 1947. My declaration of'
the end of hostilities on December 31, 1946, was not issued in order
to achieve tax reduction. I considered it essential that war excise-tax
rates be retained, but I also considered it necessary to terminate the
"state of hostilities" as soon as it became possible to do so.
I also recommend that the Congress increase postal rates sufficiently
to wipe out the postal deficit.
These recommendations would reduce expenditures to 37.1 billion
dollars and increase revenues to 38.9 billion dollars. We would then
have a budget surplus of 1.8 billion dollars.
As long as business, employment, and national income continue high,
we shoidd maintain tax revenues at levels that will not oiJy meet
current expenditures but also leave a sui'plus for retirement of the
pubhc debt. There is no justification now for tax reduction. At
today's level of economic activity, oiu' present revenue system will
not jdeld so much in 1948 as in the current year. We shall no longer
collect large sums from the excess-profits tax, and sales of surplus
propei-ty will decline.
Revenue estunates are, of course, to a very large extent deter-
mined by the level of busmess activity. In this Budget, it has been
assiuned that, with minor fluctuations, business activity will average
slightly higher than in the calendar year 1946. A recession in busi-
ness would cause tax yields to drop. In addition, the cost of sup-
porting agricultural prices and payments to unemployed veterans
would increase. Should such a recession occiu", it would be a tem-
porary slmnp growing out of transition period difficulties and would
call for no revision in our budget pohcy.
For the fiscal year 1947, it now appears that receipts will amount
to 40.2 bilhon dollars and expenditures to 42.5 billion dollars. The
m5
m6 message of the president
1 -billion-dollar increase in expenditures over the August estimate
occurred largely in veterans' programs. For example, many more
veterans than had been expected decided to go to college or enroll for
job traming. We cannot regret this demand for education, but it
illustrates the kind of uncertainty that cannot be eliminated m
preparuig our estimates.
The deficit for the current fiscal year woidd have been larger if
Executive action had not been taken to place expenditm-e ceilings on
some activities and to hold them well below the amounts available
under appropriations already made. The way the various depart-
ments and agencies of the Government, particularly the War and
Navy Departments, have succeeded in cutting their expenditures is
gratifying. Although public works could not be cut so deeply as
anticipated in August without causing a wasteful stoppage of work
already under way, we shall still show a substantial saving in this
fiscal year for these programs.
This Budget moots our basic requirements for Federal programs at
home and abroad for the fiscal year 1948. The Federal Government
must not only fulfill its contractual obligations; it must also provide the
services that are necessary for the welfare and the progress of the
Nation. We have to carry our proper share of the expense of building
world organization. We must make effective provision for national
defense.
We have many other commitments, both international and do-
mestic, that must be honored. In fact, a very large part of all our
expenditm-es in the fiscal year 1948 vnH be required to meet commit-
ments already made. The Budget is designed to meet these needs,
and to execute every program with strict economy.
The reconversion of wartime military and civilian services was far
advanced during the calendar year 1946. Of 26 emergency war
agencies in operation shortly before VJ-day, only 5 remain, and 3 of
these are wmding up their work. Two others — the War Assets
Administration and the Office of Temporary Controls — have been
added to help close out the war program. The 1948 Budget assumes
a reduction of civilian employment in the Government as a whole to
less than three-fifths of the wartime peak number — in addition to the
heavy shrinkage of the armed forces.
The Government has been exerting every effort in the wake of the
war demobilization to strengthen and make more efficient its internal
organization and administrative methods. It is essential that citizens
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m7
receive maximum service for their tax dollars, and the Administration
phins further intensive measiu-es to improve the aihninistrative prac-
tices, organization, and efficiency of the departments and agencies.
But the cost of peacetime services has risen strikingly as compared
to these costs before the war. Prewar figures can no longer be used
as a yardstick. Although Government wages have not been raised
so much as private wages, the cost of supplies has risen in line with the
cost of goods in private markets. Further, the population to be
served has grown since 1939 by 10 million people, adding propor-
tionately to the demand for many public services. Many normal
maintenance items had to be postponed on account of the war, and
cannot be further neglected. Normal services which were cut during
the war have to be restored.
Let me now review the expenditure side of the Budget, taldng first
the large items which practically determine the size of the total.
1. Interest on the national debt will be 5 billion dollars. This is an
obligation that must be met.
2. Refunds due under the tax laws are estimated at 2.1 billion
dollars. These are fixed obligations luider present law.
These two items total 7.1 bOlion dollars.
3. National defense is estimated at more than 11.2 billion dollars,
almost all for the operatuig expenses of the Army and Navy. Though
we expect the United Nations to move successfully toward world
security, any cut ui our present estunate for 1948 would immediately
weaken our international position. This large part of the Budget,
in my judgment, represents a proper balance between security and
economy. •
The total so far is 18.3 billion dollars.
4. International affairs and fuiance will call for 3.5 billion dollars,
a sharp reduction from the 6.4 biUion dollars required in the fiscal
year 1947. We still have contractual commitments to make good in
connection with our loan agreement with the United Kingdom and
imder the reconstruction lendmg program of the Export-Import
Bank. We must discharge our occupation responsibOities in Europe
and the Far East. We must provide for war damage restoration in
the Philippines and for the relief and resettlement of displaced people
of Europe. We must continue to give relief to some other countries
which are most urgently in need.
The work of the United Nations and the specialized organizations
associated with it is of the highest importance. We must not fail in
m8 message of the president
our support. The Department of State, for which increased appropria-
tions are requested, must be prepared to carry an increasing load of
work in the growing field of American foreign relations.
Our international affairs budget is important for peace, security,
and our own prosperity. To reduce it would delay the restoration of
a peacefid and prosperous world.
The total of these four items is 21.8 billion dollars.
5. Veterans' services and benefits will cost more than 7.3 bilhon
dollars. This country has provided generously for the successful
return of veterans to civihan life and for the care of the disabled.
While the cost looms large in the Budget, much of it goes to provide
education and rehabiUtation which will add to our national strength
and prosperity. The cost for veterans' education, pensions, and
hospitals will increase in the fiscal year 1948; but if employment
remains high, the unemployment payments should be smaller.
Veterans' benefits under present law appear to be adequate.
These five items — interest, refunds, national defense, international
aft'airs, and veterans — require expenditures of 29.2 billion dollars, or
almost four-fifths of the total Budget.
6. Programs for regulation and improvement of the transportation
and communications systems and for development of natural resources
will amount to 2.6 billion dollars. The largest single item is 443
million dollars for the Atomic Energy Commission. Our major effort
now must be to exploit to the full the peacetime uses of this great
discovery.
About 1.2 billion dollars of the expenditures on these two programs
is for public works construction, and much of the rest is for the promo-
tion of om- merchant marine anTl otlier aids to transportation.
The expenditure for the Federal-aid program for highways rests on
the Federal Government's agreements with the States. Air transport
will be seriously retarded unless new air-navigation facilities are
promptly supplied. Kiver basin development and harbor improve-
ment cannot be neglected without unpairing efficiency in private
enterprise. Most of the public construction projects are already under
way. A few additional projects, not yet started, have been provided
for in 1947 appropriations.
Public construction in these and other fields contributes to the
productive capacity and taxpaying ability of the country. The post-
ponement of public works in good times and their expansion in hard
times will make their contribution even greater. All postponable
public works should be deferred at the present time. But the need to
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m9
protect and improve our natural resources has become acute as a
result of the war, and we must carry out the works included in this
Budget if we are to avoid waste.
7. Our agricultural program will amount to 1.4 billion dollars.
This includes the price supports guaranteed by law, the conservation
of farm land, and our investments in rural electrification. In addi-
tion, the Department of Agriculture will continue its program to
promote research in agriculture and better marketing methods.
This brings the total to 33.2 billion dollars.
8. The Budget programs for social welfare, health, and security, and
for education and general research amount to 1.7 billion dollars. This
total excludes unemployment compensation and old-age and survivors
insurance, which are financed through trust-account operations that do
not appear in Budget expenditures. It does include 481 million dollars
in payments to the railroad retirement trust fund. More than half
of the remaining expenditures is for aid to the aged and other dependent
persons. The rest is largely for protection of public health, for
crime control, and for grants to States for vocational education.
9. The Federal housing program is estimated at 539 million dollars.
The bulk of the housing expenditures is for purchase by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation of guaranteed home loans to veterans
and for continued operation of revenue-producing war housing in
overcrowded communities.
Our social-security program and our education and housing pro-
grams can hardly be considered adequate. Improvements in these
fields are seriously needed. Although this Budget does not contem-
plate major extensions in the next fiscal year, I recommend that the
Congress lay the legislative ground work now for the needed improve-
ments, including general health insurance and a long-range housing
program.
The costs of social welfare, education, and housing bring the cumu-
lative total above 35.4 billion dollars.
The remainder of the Budget totals 2.1 billion dollars. Nearly
one-third is for war liquidation, including the overhead cost of dis-
posing of surplus property. The rest is for services to business and
labor through the Commerce Department and Labor Department,
for general functions of the Treasury, the General Accounting Office,
the legislative branch, the judicial branch, and the Executive Office
of the President, and for many other items. These services, with a
total cost of less than 5 percent of the Budget, are an indispensable
part of the machinery of the Government.
mIO message of the president
The Budget total of expenditures thus comes to 37.5 billion dollars.
It has always been the Government's duty to provide whatever
assistance is requiied to afford private enterprise a chance to prosper.
In the nineteenth century a pi'incipal economic service of the Fed-
eral Government was the opening of the West. The Government
acquired the territoiy, granted lands to settlers, gave military protec-
tion, and subsidized railroads and highways — thereby opening oppor-
tunities for the private initiative of the American people.
Today, our great new frontiers are in river-valley developments, in
air transport, in new scientific discoveries, and in application of the
new science and technology to human progress. These new frontiers
can be developed only by the cooperation of Government and private
enterprise.
Our expenditures on developmental projects are a good investment
for the Government. They increase the productive power of the
country and make for higher living standards. Directly or indirectly,
the Government recovers the cost in the form of either service charges
or increased revenue yields to the Treasury.
The Federal Governnrent promotes improvements in agricultural
methods. It provides many services to private enterprise that could
not be organized except by Government. The Bureau of Standards,
for example, furnishes basic scientific data. The Weather Bureau
supplies information used by thousands of fanners and business con-
cerns and has a rapidly developing field of work m aviation weather
reporting. Maps and charts, as well as lighthouses, beacons, and
other physical aids to navigation, are supplied by the Federal Govern-
ment. Many kinds of statistical reports, required by American
business, are also provided.
Since 1939, our complex system for the production of goods and
services has grown so much that more services than ever are required
from the Government. We cannot risk retarding oiu- growth by lack
of roads, electric power, air-navigation facilities, engineermg data,
maps, education, surveys of resources, weather reports, protection
against disease, or any other necessary instrument of progress. There
is a multitude of Government activities which the whole Nation takes
for granted and on which our prosperity depends.
Let me now review briefly the appropriation side of the Budget.
This Budget recommends appropriations of 31.3 billion dollars for
the fiscal year 1948 under existing and proposed legislation. It
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT Mil
recommends that authority of 1.5 billion dollars be granted certain
agencies to contract for services and supplies, such as aircraft and
construction. Payments under such authority will be financed from
appropriations to be made in subsequent years.
The expenditures for 1948 still reflect a portion of the cost of om-
tremendous war program for which appropriations were made in
previous years. They also reflect certain large international commit-
ments likewise previously authorized. These two factors in large
measure explain why estimated expenditm-es for 1948 are so much
more than the appropriations recommended for that year.
Existing appropriations available for obligation in 1948 and subse-
quent years are again under review. As these appropriations become
unnecessary, their withdrawal will be recommended to the Congress.
The Federal Government, as shown by the size of its Budget, has
far greater obligations than at any time before the war. Although the
Budget reflects the urgent need for rigorous economy in the execution
of every program, expenditures are inevitably large. The American
people surely will not shirk their new responsibilities at home and
abroad. They will supply the necessary funds to meet these
responsibihties.
Receipts
As previously indicated, I cannot recommend tax reduction. The
responsibihties of the Federal Government cannot be fully met
in the fiscal year 1948 at a lower cost than here mdicated. Even if
the cost were less it would be desirable in our present economic situa-
tion to maintain revenues in order to make a start toward the repay-
ment of the national debt. At the present time, in my judgment,
high taxes contribute to the welfare and security of the country.
Under the wartime tax system, millions of taxpayers with small
incomes are called upon to pay high taxes. When the time comes
for taxes to be reduced, these taxpayers will have a high priority
among the claimants for tax reUef.
I have recommended that the war excise-tax rates due to expire
July 1, 1947, be continued. When the time comes for excise-tax
revision, the Congress should review the entire group of excise taxes
rather than concentrate attention on those that were imposed or
increased diu-ing the war.
Out long-run tax program must be designed to maintain purchasing
power and provide incentives for a high level of production.
Ml2
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
In the corporation section of this Message, legislation is recom-
mended which will require return to the Treasury as miscellaneous
receipts of certain capital funds totaling 379 million dollars.
I also recommend that the Congress reconsider the extent to which
fees should be charged for services rendered by the Federal Govern-
ment. While it is not sound public policy to charge for all services
of the Federal Government on a full cost basis, and many services
should be provided free, the Government should receive adequate com-
pensation for certain services primarily of direct benefit to limited
groups. For example, I believe that a reasonable share of the cost to
the Federal Government for providing speciaMzed transportation
facilities, such as airways, should be recovered.

Receipts from direct taxes on individuals are estimated to decrease
from the fiscal year 1946 to 1947 because of the lower effective indi-
vidual income tax rates in the Revenue Act of 1945, and to increase
from the fiscal year 1947 to 1948 because of higher incomes. Direct
taxes on corporations decline in the fiscal year 1947 and further in
1948 largely because of repeal of the excess-profits tax.
The excise-tax estimates increase in 1947 because of increased
consumer demand and increased production, and dechne under present
law in 1948 because of the exphation of the war tax rates of the
Revenue Act of 1943. The employment- tax estimates show increases
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m13
in both fiscal years, due in 1947 mostly to larger pay rolls, and in
1948 mostly to increases in rates as provided by law. Miscellaneous
receipts increase in 1947 over 1946 largely because of increased receipts
from disposition of surplus property and decline in 1948 largely because-
of a decline in surplus-property receipts.
Borrowing and the Pttblic Debt
The public debt reached a peak last February at 279 billion dollars.
During the remainder of the calendar year, the debt was reduced by
over 20 bilhon dollars and stood near 259 bilUon dollars at the end of
December. Most of the securities retired were held by banks. This
reduction was accomplished by drawing down the Treasury cash
balance to a level more in line with peacetime requirements.
We propose to contmue the sale of savmgs bonds. The proceeds
wUl be available to redeem marketable securities— particularly those
held by the banking system. It is important that every citizen in a
position to do so help to maintain a sound economic situation by pur-
chasing and holding United States savings bonds.
The annual interest charge of about 5 bUhon dollars is less than
3 percent of our current national income. It is well within om*
capacity to pay, particularly if we keep up a high volume of national
production. The best method of keeping down the burden of the
debt is to maintam prosperity. A single year of depression can
lay more burdens on the people than many years of gradual debt
reduction can relieve.
Our debt-management policy is designed to hold interest rates at
the present low level and to prevent undue fluctuations in the bond
market. This policy has eased the financial problems of reconversion
for both business and Government. The stability of the Government
bond market has been a major factor in the business confidence which
has been of such value in achieving full production. Low interest
rates have also relieved the burden on the taxpayer. The Treasury
and the Federal Reserve System will continue their effective control
of interest rates.
Expenditure Programs
In this yeai^'s Budget, expenditures are grouped under a new
functional classification in order to present to the Congress and the
people a clearer pictm-e of the purposes for which Federal fuijds are
spent. To facihtate comparison, figures for previous years are also
m14
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
given on the new basis. The new classification is desciibed in detail
in part IV of this Budget.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m15
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Expenditures for "National defense" remain by far the largest
category in the Budget. The cost of maintainmg the mihtary, air,
and naval forces necessary in the fiscal year 1948 will be high. The
present defense establishment requires larger forces, more complex
mechanized equipment, more intensive use of equipment, and more
extensive developmental activity than before the war.
However, in the fiscal year 1948 these expenditures will be but one-
eighth of the outlays in the peak wartime fiscal year, 1945. This
drastic cut reflects a corresponding reduction in the size of the armed
forces. Outlays for munitions have been reduced even more.
Despite these reductions, our defense establisliment will not have
fallen to its ultmiate peacetime level by the end of the fiscal year
1948. We still have large responsibihties arising out of the war.
Mihtary occupation in Europe and the Far East must continue. The
lines of communication and supporting installations for the occupation
forces must be maintained. Recruits must be trained as replacements.
The high cost of our defense establishments requires that the
program bo operated with the utmost efficiency. In the estimates
for 1948 emphasis has been placed on eliminating as much duplication
and overlapping in activities as is possible under present conditions.
In my State of the Union Message I have agaui urged establishment
of a single department of national defense. This is an important
step in the search for economy and efficiency m organization and
admmistration of the armed services.
I recently appointed an advisory commission to study the need
for a universal training program. We still have available from the
war much of the equipment and installations which will be needed
for such a program. The program, after it has been worked out
and approved, will still require considerable time to get under way.
Estimates for it have, therefore, not been included in this Budget.
Since plans are not complete for the training program, a small amount
has been included in the Budget to cover the cost of induction machin-
ery whenever provision is made for it.

o Excludes disbursements of approximately 1,500 million dollars for the War Department and 250 mil-
lion dollars for the Navy Department which have appeared as Budget expenditures in previous years.
Expenditures. — "National defense," as useci in tliis Budget, is much
less inclusive than the category used last year. For example, War
Department expenditures of 645 million dollars in 1948 for supplies to
and admmistration of occupied areas (other, than Army paj', sub-
sistence, and related items) are now in "International affau's and
finance." Likewise, expenditm-es for the atomic energy activities
of the Manhattan District project begmning January 1, 1947, when
the Atomic Energy Commission took control, are shown in "Natural
resources." For the fiscal year 1946 and the first 6 months of the fiscal
year 1947 this program remains m "National defense."
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT Ml7
The level of expenditures for "National defense" in 1947 would
have been 1.7 billion dollars higher, and the reduction from 1947 to
1948 correspondingly greater, except for certam adjustments — 1.5
billion dollars in War Department accounts and 250 million dollars
in Navy accounts. Some fmids withdra\vn from the Treasuiy in
1946 and earlier years, and reported as expenditures at the time, were
not used until 1947. Also some expenditures by the War Department
m 1947 were offset by credits from funds which had accumulated in
trust accounts during the war.
The expenditure estimate of 11.1 billion dollars in 1948 for the Army
and Navy for military purposes reflects the reductions from the current
fiscal year in the number of military personnel and in war-liquidation
outlays — such as mustermg-out payments (reduced by 370 million
dollars), contract termination (700 million dollars), and surplus prop-
erty handlmg. On the other side, the estimate reflects greater pro-
curement in the fiscal year 1948, as war inventories cease to be available
to supply current needs.
The estimated expenditures of 6.7 billion dollars for the War De-
partment m the fiscal year 1948 include 132 mfllion dollars for public
works under supplemental legislation. The Navy expenditures of 4.4
billion dollars also mclude 77 million dollars for ship construction and
public works under supplemental legislation. In both uistances the
objective is to return to the peacetime procedure of obtaming specific
legislative authority for these programs.
Taken together, the War and Navy Department expenditures esti-
mated for the fiscal year 1948 provide for an average military strength
of 1,641,000 men and officers. Of this. Army strength is projected at
1,070,000 throughout the year; Navy and Marine strength will begin
the year at 598,000 and average 571,000. These figures compare
with an average strength in the fiscal year 1947 of 2,108,000. Pay,
subsistence, travel, welfare, training, clothing, and medical ex-
penditures for military personnel are estimated at 5.2 billion dollars in
the fiscal year 1948, as against 6.7 billion dollars in the current year.
Average annual costs per man for these purposes — about 3,100 dollars
in 1948 — have increased markedly since VJ-day. Fully 45 percent of
Army and Navy expenditures in 1948 are in this category.
Expenditures by the War and Navy Departments for aU other
military purposes are estimated at 5.9 biUion dollars in the fiscal year
1948. This sum covers procm-ement, research and development,
construction, operation and maintenance, and citizen-reserve activi-
ties. The estimates for 1948 contemplate proceeding with construc-
tion projects of highest priority at overseas bases and in the continental
Ml8 MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
United States, and limiting procurement to those items essential for
the current operation, maintenance, and trainmg of the military
forces, except for au'craft and limited quantities of newly developed
items.
Effective defense under modern conditions requires us to push ahead
in scientific and teclmological fields. Toward this end, expenditures
for research and development by the Army and Navy are projected
at 530 million dollars in the fiscal year 1948 — slightly above their 1947
rate. Similarly, we must keep alive the knowledge of military skills
among our citizens. To provide for an orderly expansion of citizen-
reserve organizations, expenditures of 308 million dollars are projected
in 1948 — about two-thirds more than the outlays in the current fiscal
year when these programs are getting imder way. The reserve organ-
izations of the Army wdl still be below planned strength at the end
of 1948.
The bulk of the terminated Army and Navy contracts has already
been settled, with creditable dispatch. For all agencies, total com-
mitments canceled on 318,000 prime contracts exceed 65 billion
dollars. After deducting credits due the Government, total pay-
ments to contractors under the entire program are estimated at about
6.5 billion dollars. Of this total, about three-fourths of a billion dollars
remained for payment at the beginning of the fiscal year 1947. Most
of this has now been paid in final settlements or in advances pending
settlement.
Applications for terminal-leave payments to enlisted military per-
sonnel have been smaller than expected. It is now estimated that
1.9 bilhon dollars will be paid in 1947 and only 250 million dollars
in 1948.
Lend-lease expenditures in the fiscal year 1947 from funds appro-
priated to the President are lai-gely mterappropriation adjustments
and payments for articles procm'ed and services rendered in previous
years. In 1948 there will be very small expenditures — all for closing
out the program.
Except for some military aid to China and mmor items, lend-lease
was terminated after VJ-day. Suace then, lend-lease goods valued
at over 1 billion dollars have been sold to foreign countries on a cash
or credit basis. Much progress has been made in effecting settle-
ments with the countries which received about 50 billion dollars of
lend-lease aid and extended ahnost 8 billion dollars of reciprocal aid.
Final settlements have' now been negotiated with the United King-
dom, Australia, New Zealand, India, France, Belgium, and Turkey,
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M19
and discussions with the Netherlands, Norway, and the Union of
South Africa are nearmg completion.
The military program for stock piling of strategic materials has been
reviewed carefully to minimize interference with business require-
ments. New stock piling is estimated at 90 million dollars in the
fiscal year 1947 and 33 million dollars in 1948. In addition, excess
metals and materials, amounting to 87 million dollars this year and
210 million dollars in the fiscal year 1948, will be transferred from
Reconstruction Fuiance Corporation stocks to the Treasury military
stock pile. Apart from stock piles transferred to the Treasury, the
receipts of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in its war activi-
ties reflect largely the rental and disposal of excess war plants, together
with the sale of metals, minerals, and other commodities to the public.
Appropriations. — To finance the expenditure program outlined
above, appropriations of 9.5 billion dollars and new contract author-
izations of 541 million dollars will be necessary in the fiscal year 1948.
These totals include 262 million dollars of supplemental appropria-
tions and 91 million dollars of contract authorizations under legisla-
tion shortly to be submitted. The new appropriations needed in
1948 ai-e about 2 billion dollars lower than the estimated expenditures,
which include provision for payment of substantial amounts of
imliquidated obligations of prior years.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND FINANCE
The budget for our international program is designed to contribute
to a peaceful world and a stable world economy. We have definite
responsibilities to our wartime allies and in occupied countries. Our
international lending program is an essential part of our efforts to
achieve a world economy in which private trade will flourish.
The period when large-scale general relief is required for our allies
is almost over. With the termination of the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration, there wUl remain, however, the
urgent question of refugees and displaced persons. I urge the
Congress to provide adequate support for the International Refugee
Organization, now in process of being formed under the United
Nations. It is also necessary that we provide a modest relief pro-
gram for a few countries which are still in desperate straits. I recom-
mend that the Congress speedily enact legislation to authorize these
expenditures for which I am making provision in this Budget. In
m20
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
addition, I recommend that the Congress authorize participation in
tlie World Healtli Organization and the proposed International Trade
Organization and have included the small amounts needed for their
support.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M21
Expenditures. — The sharp decline in total expenditm-es in the fiscal
year 1948 is due chiefly to the fact that in 1947 we shall complete
our payment to the International Monetary Fund and our basic
cash subscription to the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development. Further liabilities to the International Bank will
arise only if we are called upon, within the limits of our total sub-
scription, to join with other countries in making good any defaults
by borrowers from the Bank.
More than half of our expenditures in the international field in the
fiscal year 1948 will be loans for reconstruction or trade expansion.
Disbm'sements will be predominantly under existing commitments.
By the end of the fiscal year 1948 we shall have discharged about
three-fourths of our commitments under our loan agreement with
Britain. Since the International Bank is now ready for business,
new authorizations for reconstruction loans by the Export-Import
Bank are being sharply curtailed. In the future, the Export-Import
Bank will be primarily concerned with loans to finance United States
trade and small developmental loans in which we have a special
interest. Outlays by the Export-Import Bank in the fiscal years 1946
and 1947 have been financed to a considerable extent by the sale of
capital stock to the Treasury. Since the Treasury subscription is
now complete, future net outlays will be financed entirely by sale of
notes to the Treasury.
The existing appropriation for United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration expires at the end of the current fiscal year.
Estimated expenditures in 1948 are entirely to wind up the program.
During the fiscal year 1948, the War Department will incur expendi-
tures for administration and relief in Germany, Japan, Korea, and the
Ryukyus and for administration in Austria. We must continue to
provide subsistence to prevent disease, hunger, and unrest, and to
provide proper admmistration, if these lands are eventually to become
democratic and self-supporting. Moreover, shipments of food and
other supplies are required to maintain the working efficiency of the
populations and to stimulate production. Resulting increases in ex-
ports from these areas will furnish a growing source of funds to pay
for necessary imports and thus help eliminate the need for financial
assistance.
The recent agreement for economic unification of the British and
United States zones in Germany will increase exports from those zones
and help to make them self-sufficient by the end of the calendar year
1949. All costs incurred for the support of the German economy are
m22 message of the president
to be repaid out of future German exports as quickly as recovery
permits.
An important contribution to the economic revival of the occupied
areas is being made by Federal agencies such as the U. S. Commercial
Company in temporarily financmg exports from these areas. Net
dollar proceeds are currently beuig used primarily to purchase raw
materials and equipment needed for a further expansion of exports
in order to hasten the time when the occupied areas will become fully
self-supporting. To aid in this program, I m-ge that the Congress
authorize the U. S. Commercial Company to continue operations
beyond June 30, 1947, the present expnation date.
Aid for the Philippine Republic includes assistance in rebuilding
its economy, payments to fulfill our pledge to compensate partially
for war damage, and maintenance of training programs for Philippine
citizens. The 1947 total includes a Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration loan of 75 million dollars for aid in financing the current budget
of the Republic.
Estimated expenditures of 18 million dollars for oiu" membership in
international organizations consist primarily of our share of the admin-
istrative budgets of the United Nations and its affiliated specialized
organizations. In view of the immense tasks we have entrusted to the
international organizations, this is a modest sum. Our contribution
to the International Refugee Organization and funds for additional
relief are included under proposed legislation.
Expenditures by the State Department are expected to increase in
the fiscal year 1948. It is of utmost importance that the Department
be equipped with sufficient funds and an adequate staff to make its
maximum contribution to international peace. In 1948 there will be
an increase of expenditures to carry on the improved Foreign Service
program authorized under the Foreign Service Act of 1946. The
Budget estimate for the Foreign Service buildings fund provides for
the purchase of real property obtained by the Office of the Foreign
Liquidation Commissioner in lend-lease and surplus property settle-
ment agreements with other nations. Payment for these properties
by the State Department increases miscellaneous receipts of the
Treasury by a corresponding amount.
Ajjpropriatioiis. — Appropriations for the fiscal year 1948 total
1,169 mUhon dollars, mainly for the administration and relief of
occupied countries and for various State Department programs.
Funds for loans by the Export-Import Bank in the fiscal year 1948
will be obtamed under its current borrowing authority. Advances
to the United Kingdom wUl be made under the existmg authorization.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m23
The appropriations total iacludes 11 million dollars of anticipated
supplementals for the State Department and 76 million dollars for
proposed legislation.
veterans' services and benefits
The Servicemen's Readjustment Act provides education and train-
ing benefits, unemployment and self-employment allowances, and loan
guarantees. National service life isnsurance is an additional tangible
benefit. For those who suffered di abilities, the best of medical care
is provided. Pension rates for disabled veterans and for dependents
of veterans were increased by the last Congress. In addition to the
veterans' program, our servicemen have been assisted in resuming
civilian life by mustering-out payments and terminal-leave payments.
Since the main purpose of our veterans' program is to reestablish
former servicemen in civilian life, we must carefully avoid types of
assistance which would encourage, or unnecessarily prolong, depend-
ence upon Government subsidy. Any other policy woidd not only
put an intolerable bm-den upon the taxpayer, but would be a great
disservice to veterans themselves.
Although some amendments to veterans' legislation may still be
required, no major new programs of assistance appear necessary. The
job is now primarily one of effective administration. The Veterans'
Administration has made great progress in estabfishing machinery
that will administer this comprehensive program with speed and
equity.

m24 message of the president
Expenditures. — The readjustment benefits program as a whole will
continue in 1948 at its present level, as reductions in imemployment
allowances will be offset by increases in education and loan-guarantee
expenditures. These estimates assume continuing prosperity and
present legislation.
In the fiscal year 1947, almost 1,100,000 veterans, on the average,
are drawing unemployment allowances and more than 200,000 are
receiving self-employment allowances, at a time when total unem-
ployment in the United States is less than 2,500,000. The turn-over
on the allowance rolls has been rapid. Almost one-half of the
14,000,000 discharged from the services have already drawn imem-
ployment or self-employment allowances. In recent months tight-
ened administration and a more positive job-placement program by
the employment service have contributed to a reduction in the num-
bers on the allowance roUs. In the fiscal year 1948 it is expected that
about 900,000 veterans on the average will receive nearly one billion
dollars in these allowances.
On the average 2,000,000 veterans are receivmg education and train-
ing benefits in the fiscal year 1947. In 1948 possibly 2,100,000 will
participate at a cost of over 2.3 billion dollars. We have had to
meet an acute situation with respect to educational and housing
facilities in imiversities, colleges, and schools thi-oughout the country.
In the fiscal year 1948 the Federal Works Agency will largely com-
plete the conversion of war surplus facilities for educational purposes.
The number of trainees receiving on-the-job training has increased
sharply to over 600,000. To guard against misuse of public funds, the
Congress, in its last session, wisely provided limitations on subsistence
allowances to veterans whose earnings exceed fixed monthly amounts
and also clarified the standards to be used by the States in approving
training establishments. Such limitations on subsistence allowances
are essential to assure equity for veterans and taxpayers alike.
Amendments liberalizing the loan-guarantee program have brought
a sharp increase in the number of loans guaranteed and in the aver-
age size of the guarantee. During the fiscal year 1947, new loans will
be guaranteed for 750,000 veterans; in 1948, for possibly 1,000,000.
Roughly, 90 percent of these loans are made to finance home pur-
chases by veterans. Expenditures in 1948 will be somewhat higher
than in 1947 — just over 100 million dollars for payment of the first
year's interest on the guaranteed portion of the loan and for losses
yrhich are still relatively small.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m25
Pension payments to disabled veterans and to dependents of vet-
erans rose sharply from 1946 to 1947, as claims arising in World War II
were granted. The increase in 1947 expenditures also reflects the 20
percent rise m pension rates approved by the last session of the Con-
gi-ess. Estimated expenditures of 2.5 billion dollars for pensions in
1948 include about 150 million dollars for subsistence allowances to
disabled trainees and students. An average of 3,150,000 individuals
will receive pensions and compensation in 1948 — 50 percent more than
in 1946. This program will continue to increase for years to come.
Expenditures for insurance, which are mostly transfei-s to the
national service life insurance trust fund, will decline sharply in
1948 with a corresponding decline in the trust fund accumulations.
The total cost to the Government for servicemen's insiu-ance in World
War II win approach 3.7 billion dollars by the end of 1948 with small
additional costs to come later.

The most extensive hospital and domiciliary construction program
in the history of this Nation is now under way. The construction of
veterans' hospitals and domicUiary facilities now authorized and
recommended for authorization aggregates 1 billion dollars. Such
construction, chiefly under the direction of the Corps of Engineers,
wiU continue to increase in the fiscal year 1948. Less than half of
the total program, however, wUl be completed by the end of that year.
In the fiscal year 1948 the operating and general administration
expenses for veterans' programs as a whole will be somewhat higher
than in the present year, chiefly because of the e.xpansion of hospital
facilities and improvement of medical care.
General administrative expenses for programs other than hospital
and medical care are estimated in 1948 at about the 1947 level. The
number of veterans participating in the readjustment, pension, and
m26 message of the president
insurance programs will be higher, but the work load will fall as the
number of entrants drops off.
The Administrator of Veterans' Affairs is carrjdng out a decentraliza-
tion program aimed at attaining more effective administration through
more direct contact with veterans in their communities.
Appropriations. — For these veterans' programs, this Budget recom-
mends appropriations of 7,009 million dollars and contract authoriza-
tions of 220 million dollars to cover obligations to be incm-red in the
fiscal year 1948.
SOCIAL WELF.'lRE, HEALTH, AND SECURITY
In spite of the achievements of the past 11 years in promoting the
health, welfare, and social security of the American people, much
remains to be done. Our present program affords but partial protec-
tion against the major causes of insecurity; large segments of the
population are excluded from its benefits. We have not yet done
enough to secure good health for the Nation.
The Federal Security Agency has recently been given broader juris-
diction over the social-welfare activities of the Government. As pre-
viously recommended, J favor creating a well integrated, yet flexible,
Cabinet department of health, education, and social security to
supersede tliis agency.
I hope that the studies already undertaken by congressional com-
mittees will result in the prompt expansion and integration of the
present social-seciu-ity system. There is, for example, serious need
to correct inequalities between States in public assistance payments
and to extend the scope of Federal aid to include general assistance
programs. The temporary increase in Federal grants for public
assistance enacted in the last session of Congress will expire December
31, 1947; the Congress should now consider permanent legislation in
this field. The estimated expenditures for the fiscal year 1948 include
provision for such legislation.
The old-age and survivors insurance system at present leaves out
40 percent of those who earn their hving. Even greater numbers
are outside the unemployment compensation program. It is unjust
to deny these agricultural workers, public employees, and other
excluded groups the protection of social insurance. The system
should be extended to cover them. At the same time, retirement
benefits for the aged should be liberalized to reduce the necessity for
piecing out insurance benefits with public-assistance payments.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m27
Recent legislation for hospital construction, for increased activities
in mental health, and for expanded maternal and child-health services
are substantial achievements toward improving the substandard
health level of a large part of the population. But the major problem
of financing health care still persists. Therefore, I again urge the Con-
gress to enact a health-insurance program which will make adequate
medical care available to everyone and provide protection against
the economic hardships of sickness. Such a program should be almost
entirely self-financing through pay-roll contributions.

Expenditures. — A large part of the social-insm-ance program is
financed through trust-account operations which are not included in
Budget expenditures. Pay-roll taxes collected by the States to finance
unemployment compensation are deposited dhectly in a Federal trust
account. The proceeds of Federal pay-roll taxes to cover old-age and
survivors insurance are deducted from the receipts side of the Budget
and do not appear as Budget expenditures. For the railroad retirement
system, however, the pay-roll tax receipts are included in net Budget
receipts and the amounts transferred to the trust account appear in
Budget expenditm-es. Similarly, the Government contribution to the

Trust fund withdrawals by the States to pay unemployment benefits
depend not only on the number of unemployed in covered employment,
but also on the rate of turn-over. Budget expenditures for unem-
ployment and accident compensation are mainly Federal grants to
the States for administrative expenses of unemployment compensa-
tion. With high employment, accumulations in the trust fund will
continue and administrative expenses will remain low.
Withdrawals from the trust fund for old-age and survivors insurance
wiU continue to increase over a long period. As the program matures,
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m29
the number of beneficiaries and the average benefit will gradually rise.
A large estimated increase in receipts of this fund in the fiscal year
1948 is based on the assumption that the employment tax will rise from
the present 2 percent rate on employers and employees to 5 percent
on January 1, 1948, in accordance with present law.
Estimates for Budget expenditures for retirement and dependency
insurance reflect the action of the last Congress in broadening the
Railroad Retirement Act by adding survivors insurance and liberal-
izing benefits. Employer and employee tax rates were increased,
resultmg in larger payments to the trust account. These payments,
which vary according to the raflroad-pay-roll level, are expected to
continue high. The major part of administrative expenses for old-age
and survivors insurance is now paid directly from the old-age and
survivors insurance trust fund and is therefore not included in Budget
expenditures after the fiscal year 1946; this change is responsible for a
sharp drop in the Budget item for the Federal Security Agency for
retirement and dependency insurance.
Federal payments for assistance to the aged and other special
groups are expected to increase in the fiscal year 1948 because of a
continuing long-term rise in benefit levels and case loads. A sharp
rise in the expenditiu"es in the fiscal year 1947 results from the higher
public assistance benefits under temporary legislation and the inclusion
of the school-lunch program in this category beginning this year.
Expenditures for promotion of public health are estimated slightly
higher than in the current year. Although the total for the fiscal
year 1948 includes expanded research and State-aid programs, in-
cluding the Federal-State hospital program, these additions are
largely offset by reductions of 24 million dollars owing to termination
of the nurses' training program and of the maternity and infant-care
program for famihes of servicemen.
Appropriations. — For the fiscal year 1948 the Budget includes
appropriations of 1,877 miUion dollars, of which 74 milhon doUars
are for proposed legislation. The recommended appropriation for
the Railroad Retirement Board for the fiscal year 1948 exceeds the
estimated expenditures to permit transfer to the trust account of
taxes and income from 1947 and previous years; this transfer will take
effect in the current fiscal year. The recommended appropriation
for the hospital construction program is greater than the estimated
expenditures because the program is just getting under way.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
HOUSING AND COMMtTNITT FACILITIES
I have urged the Congress to enact the essential features of the
general housing biU which was passed by the Senate last year. The
most urgent immediate requirements are for incentives and aids to
private lenders and builders to provide lower cost housing, especially
rental housing, for assistance to local communities in their pro-
grams for urban redevelopment and low-rent housing, and for a per-
manent agency to supervise the major housing activities of the
Federal Government.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m31
Expenditures. — In our housing program we shall contuaue to rely
primarily upon private housing construction. Dm'ing the past year,
with the assistance of many public and private agencies, we have
succeeded in securing a rapid expansion in the supply of building
materials available for construction of veterans' housing. With the
increased materials flow now evident, emphasis in the coming year
will be focused on a few key materials, on acceleration of programs
for recruitment and training of labor, and on provision of ample
financing facilities for builders and prefabricators, as well as veterans
and other purchasers. Particular attention will be given to measures
to expand construction of rental housing. Many of these operations
to aid private housing construction are reflected in expenditures of the
Office of Temporary Controls, the Department of Labor, the Veterans'
Administration, and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, as part
of programs classified elsewhere.
The programs of the Federal Housing Administration and the Fed-
eral Home Loan Bank Admmistration involve relatively small net
expenditures, but are of major importance m stimulating private con-
struction. In the fiscal year 1948 the Federal Housing Administra-
tion expects to guarantee loans on 325,000 homes and apartments,
most of them for new construction. During the same period savings
and loan associations which are members of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System will make an estimated 300,000 loans for financing
new homes.
From an expenditure standpoint, the chief aids to private housing in
the fiscal year 1948 will be provided by Reconstruction Finance
Corporation purchases of mortgages guaranteed by the Veterans'
Administration and the Federal Housing Administration. In the
fiscal year 1948, pm'chases of veterans' home loans are expected to
account for the great bulk of all mortgages purchased by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation. With the rapid rise in guaranteed
loans to veterans (see "Veterans' services and benefits"), the Federal
Government has recognized that its responsibility to the veterans can
be realized only by assuring private financial institutions the same
ready market for these obligations that they already possess for mort-
gages insured by the Federal Housing Administration. The lending
institutions in turn have a responsibility to make sure that their
loans wOl benefit the veterans and will not burden them with im-
possible future obligations.
Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds have also been employed
to make premium payments to increase the supply of critically scarce
building materials. In view of the rapid expansion in output and the
m32 message of the president
decontrol of prices, it appears that these programs can be terminated
before the close of the current fiscal year.
The repayment of Home Owners' Loan Corporation loans will
taper off in 1948 as its outstanding loans shrink. With its profits in
recent years, we can now safely predict that this Corporation — which
refinanced the loans of more than a million distressed borrowers
during the depression — will liquidate without any loss to the Federal
Government.
Expenditinres on public housing programs are now concentrated
almost entii'ely on liquidation of war housing activities and provision
of emergency housing units for war veterans. Conversion of barracks
and other types of temporary war structm-es — the largest expenditiure
item in 1947 — will be substantially completed in the current year.
Under this program an estimated 255,000 units are being provided for
veterans and their families — more than half for veterans in educational
institutions.
The continued housi ig shortage in many industrial areas has made
it necessary for the Government to continue operating many tem-
porary war housing units longer than previously expected. More
than half of these units are occupied by veterans and servicemen.
Expenditm-es in the fiscal year 1948 for management and disposition
of war housing show an apparent increase primarily because receipts
from the program are now deposited in miscellaneous receipts, rather
than credited against expenditm'es. Payments of 85 million dollars
also are forecast to transfer previous net receipts from rentals and sales
into the general receipts of the Treasuiy. If allowance is made for
these transfers and nonrecurring net receipts of 64 million dollars in
1947 from liquidation of the Defense Homes Corporation, program
expenditures for war housing will decline substantially in 1948 from
1947 levels.
Receipts from the low-rent housing program will temporarily
exceed expenditures in the current fiscal year because of anticipated
repayments of loans by local housing authorities. Annual contri-
butions to local housing authorities required by previous contracts
will rise gradually as wartime tenants are replaced by low-income
occupants.
Expenditm-es of the Federal Works Agency for defense pubUc works
will be virtually completed in the fiscal year 1948. Disbursements to
localities for detailed planning of local public works will be limited to
previous commitments mider existing legislation.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M33
On the other hand, disbursements on Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration loans to local agencies for construction of self-liquidating
projects will be increased as materials become available to resume
urgently needed work. To make sure that funds are adequate for
these disbui-semeuts, I request that the present 1 00-million-dollar
limitation on Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans for these
purposes be increased to 125 million dollars.
Appropriations. — Of the total of 17,9 million dollars in appropria-
tions estimated for the fiscal year 1948, an estimated 150 million
dollars will be from current rental and disposition receipts of the
veterans' re-use and war housing programs. Most of the 1948 expendi-
tures will be made from Corporation funds or from unexpended
balances of previous appropriations.
EDUCATION AND GENERAL EESEARCH
Our generous provision for education under the veterans' program
should not obscure the fact that the Federal Government has large
responsibilities for the general impi-ovement of educational opportuni-
ties throughout the country. Although the expenditure estimates for
the coming fiscal year are limited to present programs, I have long
been on record for basic legislation under which the Federal Govern-
ment will supplement the resources of the States to assist them to
equalize educational opportunities and achieve satisfactory educational
standards.
The relationship of the Federal Government to higher education
also demands serious consideration. The veterans' readjustment
program, which compelled a rapid emergency expansion of facilities
to meet immediate needs, has focused attention on this fundamental
problem. A Presidential commission on higher education is studying
the matter because of its great importance to the future of the Nation.
Many agencies of the Federal Government carry on research as a
part of their regular programs. But we need a central agency to
correlate and encourage the research activities of the country. While
freedom of inquiiy must be preserved, the Federal Government should
accept responsibility for fostering the flow of scientific knowledge and
developing scientific talent in our youth. To accomphsh this, I
recommend again that a National Science Foundation or its equivalent
be established. The Scientific Research Board appointed in October
1946 is now making a study of the research program of the entire
m34
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
Federal Government in its relation to all other research activities
planned or in progress. Its report will undoubtedly be of service in
establishing a proper program for the new agency. It is assumed that
no additional expenditui-es will be required during the fiscal year 1948.

Expenditures. — Federal expenditures for promotion of education,
apart from the veterans' education program, now consist almost
entirely of vocational grants to States, support of land-grant colleges,
and general admmistration of the Office of Education. The Federal
Works Agency will complete during the fiscal year 1948 its expendi-
tures for the maintenance and operation of schools in war-affected
communities. Corresponding expenditures prior to the current fiscal
year are classified in "Housing and community facilities."
In August 1946, the Congress increased the authorization for voca-
tional education by 15 million dollars. It is not possible at this time,
however, for the State and local governments to make firm commit-
ments on the availability of matching funds for the development of
new programs of vocational education or the expansion of existing
programs. Therefore, although the estimates of appropriations and
expenditures for the fiscal year 1948 include an anticipated supple-
mental appropriation under this authorization, it may be necessary
to increase the amount on the basis of later information from State
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m35
and local governments. Money for this purpose has been mcluded
in the reserve for contingencies.
Expenditures for educational aid to special groups include funds
for education of Indians through the Department of the Interior and
smaller amounts for assistance to the blind and the deaf and to Howard
University through the Federal Security Agency. The major part of
the estimated increase in expenditures is for construction of four
buildings at Howard University, for which Congress has already
appropriated money for drawing plans. Their construction is made
urgent by the pressure of enrollment upon all existing facihties.
The increase in expenditures for library and museum services is due
chiefly to the general expansion of activities of the Library of Congress.
Research is inherent in many Federal programs and consequently
. the bulk of such expenditures is mcluded in the specific programs to
which the research relates. The principal items of contmuing ex-
penditure for those research programs which serve several purposes or
are general in character are in the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of
Standards, and the Coast and Geodetic Survey — aU within the De-
partment of Commerce. Some expansion of these activities is con-
templated in the estimates for the fiscal year 1948. The Office of
Scientific Research and Development, which was devoted to research
in support of the war effort, wiU be almost completely liquidated in
the fiscal year 1947.
Appropriations. — The total of appropriations for education and
general research is 85 million dollars for the fiscal year 1948 — 3
million dollars less than the estimated expenditures. This total
includes a tentative estimate of the amount which will be required
under the new authorization for vocational education.
AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
Because of high consumer m comes in the United States and the
continuing world shortage of many foods, the demand for farm prod-
ucts will doubtless remain strong throughout the fiscal year 1948.
Agricultural production goals for the 1947 crop yeax, with a few excep-
tions, will call for another year of maximum output.
The demand for American farm products, however, caimot be
counted upon to contmue mdcfinitely at the present high level. Under
present legislation the Department of Agriculture is required to
support prices of most agricidtural commodities until December 31,
1948.
m36
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
We must design oui" agricultural policies to work toward a better
balance of supply with demand and so avoid excessive expenditm'es
for price support. We should facilitate the transfer of xmnecessary
farm labor and resources from agriculture to industrial and other
pm'suits. We shall need also to devise ways of supporting farm in-
come which will retain export markets for wheat, cotton, and tobacco,
and at the same time give the American consumer the benefit of
increasing efficiency in farm production.
The authority of the Commodity Credit Corporation expires on
June 30, 1947. Since the Corporation now has a State charter, I am
recommending that it be rechartered by act of Congress and that its
present borrowing authority of 4,750 million dollars be renewed.

Expenditures. — By the fiscal year 1948 the program of the Com-
modity Credit Corporation will be limited almost entirely to price
support for agricultm'al commodities. Reimbursements from lend-
lease, United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, and
foreign governments will be largely completed in the next 6 months.
Liquidation of inventories is tapering off. For the present, the higli
level of farm prices has made price-support outlays unnecessary except
for a few commodities such as potatoes and eggs.
In 1948, however, even with continued general prosperity, an
estimated 330 million dollars will be spent to support agricultural
prices. Larger outlays will be required shoidd markets weaken
seriously. In addition, loans by commercial banks guaranteed by
the Commodity Credit Corporation will probably be substantial.
The present borrowing authority, if renewed, will be ample to support
agricultural prices during the fiscal year 1948.
Receipts from other corporate transactions in the Department of
Agriculture are expected to be lower in 1947 and 1948 than in 1946.
In 1946 there were unusually large repayments to the farm credit
agencies and large receipts in revolving funds of the Treasury from
return of capital of mixed-ownership corporations. In view of the
large repayments and refinancing of the loans of the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation, this Budget recommends that the Corporation's
borrowing authority of 2 billion dollars be reduced to an amount
m38 message of the president
more nearly commensurate with foreseeable needs. This recom-
mendation should be considered when the Fdrm Credit Administra-
tionsubmits its report on the mortgage-loan programs of the Corpo-
ration and the Federal land banks.
The rural rehabilitation and farm tenant programs, formerly under
the Farm Security Administration, and the Crop and Feed Loan
Division of the Farm Credit Administration have been merged to form
the new Farmers' Home Admmistration. This program shows an
apparent increase in 1948, solely because of the changed method of
financing required in the Farmers' Home Administration Act of 1946.
The increased estimates for Rural Electrification Administration
loans will permit expansion of a program that is urgently needed by
farmers but has been held back dinging the war years.
Conmiitments for payments to fanners under the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration conservation and use program for the
1947 crop year have already been made as provided by the 1947
appropriation act. Expenditures for this program, including admin-
istrative expenses, are estimated at 311 miUion dollars in the fiscal
year 1948.
A year ago the Budget Message recommended gradual reduction of
these payments, and that recommendation is now renewed. More
than 60 percent of the total payments go to about one-eighth of the
IjTation's farmers. Most of this money thus is being paid to farmers
who, because of their strong position in American agricultm'e, would
undoubtedly continue the best farm management practices without
the persuasion of a bonus from the Treasury.
We should shift our efl'ort from this kind of subsidy to providing
teclmical guidance to all farmers for soil conservation and manage-
ment, along the lines of the Soil Conservation Service and the Exten-
sion Service. I therefore propose that the appropriation act limit the
conservation and use program for the crop year 1948 to 200 million
dollars instead of the 300-million-dollar program to which we are
committed for the crop year 1947. This wUl not affect expenditures
materially until the fiscal year 1949.
Expenditures to encourage exportation and domestic consumption
of farm products are financed under section 32 of the act of August
24, 1935, by a permanent appropriation equal to 30 percent of customs
receipts. In the fiscal year 1946 expenditures for the school-lunch
program were financed by this appropriation. These have been
transferred to "Social welfare, health, and security" in later years.
The remaining expenditures in 1947 and 1948 are for export subsidies,
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M39
diversion of surplus commodities to new uses, and purchase and
distribution of surplus agricultural commodities to State welfare
agencies. Addition of the cotton export subsidy program previously-
financed by the Commodity Credit Corporation and other increases
offset the transfer of the school-lunch program.
Almost all wartime food subsidy programs of the Commodity
Credit Corporation and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
have now been discontinued. Subsidy payments from corporate
funds in the fiscal year 1948 wUl be hmited to sug<ir, which is
expected to remain in short supply. In addition, payments to sugar
growers in the United States under the Sugar Act program will remain
at approximately the present level.
Expenditures for agricultural land and water resources, which
include the SoU Conservation Service, upstream erosion and flood
control, water conservation and utilization, and the submarginal land
program, are estimated to mcrease shghtly in 1948.
Expansion of agricultural research under the Research and Market-
ing Act of 1946 will cost an additional 18 million dollars in the fiscal
year 1948. The farm labor supply program will decrease by about
16 million dollars. Other general programs for the development and
improvement of agriculture, such as the Extension Service, the scien-
tific research agencies, and the staff agencies of the Department of
Agriculture, will remain at about the present level. Thus, the pro-
grams in this category as a whole will increase by 3 million dollars.
Appropriations. — To carry out our agricultural programs, I recom-
mend that the Congress appropriate 824 milUon dollars for the fiscal
year 1948. In addition, since not all of the permanent appropriation
of section 32 funds will be required to subsidize exportation and
domestic consumption of surplus agricultural commodities, the trans-
fer of 100 miUion dollars to the Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion program for conservation and use of agricultural land resources
is recommended. In 1947, 42.5 million dollars of section 32 funds were
so transferred. In view of the probable need for these funds after
1948 for surplus disposal programs, however, we cannot look forward
to their continued annual use for the conservation and use program.
The operations of the various agricultural corporations and the
agricidtural programs of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
will be financed out of corporate funds borrowed from the Treasury.
It is estimated that 830 miUion dollars of notes owed the Treasury
by the Commodity Credit Corporation will be canceled in 1948
m40 message of the president
pursuant to the appraisal of the assets of the Corporation as of June
30, 1946. This cancellation of notes will be an expenditure under
general and special accounts and a receipt under corporation accounts,
and thus will have no net effect on Budget expenditures or on the
appropriations recommended for 1948.
NATURAL RESOURCES
The natural resources program has been increasmg to fill some of
the gaps arising from wartime deferments and depletions. The esti-
mated expenditures for the fiscal year 1948 represent a further expan-
sion over the current year. They do not contemplate initiation of
large new projects.
The harnessing of atomic energy was a war achievement, and it
remains of major military significance. With the appointment of
the Atomic Energy Commission last fall we have entered on a new
phase of development. This Commission has assumed direction of
the Manhattan Engineer District project. Our aim is to bring the
benefits of atomic research to industry and medicine and to enrich
standards of well-being.
In line with the shift in emphasis, the atomic energy program, since
December 31, 1946, is classified in "Natural resources." This transfer
in the middle of the current fiscal year and the inclusion on a full-year
basis in 1948 are major reasons for the increases in expenditures for
resource development in both years.
Expenditures. — In order to push forward basic research in develop-
ment and use of atomic energy, I am recommending a program which
wUl involve expenditures of 444 mOlion dollars in the fiscal year 1948.
This compares with total outlays of 385 million dollars in the current
fiscal year, of which 179 million dollars are shown in "National
defense."
Much of the productive future of this Nation lies in the effective
development of our river basins. Under the Bureau of Reclamation
and the Corps of Engineers, this work will go forward in 1948 at a some-
what increased expenditiu-e rate. The estimates provide for continu-
ation of projects under way and starting those projects for which 1947
appropriations were made, but which have been temporarily deferred.

The only appropriations now recommended are for projects partly
provided for in previous appropriation acts. A substantial portion
of the expenditures is for multiple-purpose projects which, in addition
to flood control, navigation, and irrigation benefits, will supply needed
power for industry and agriculture.
m42 message of the president
Some expansion of transmission facilities is needed by the Bonne
ville Power Administration to market the hydroelectric power gener-
ated at certain of the Government's multiple-purpose dams. Receipts
of 25 million dollars from the sale of power by this agency and the
Southwestern Power Administration will be paid into miscellaneous
receiptsiof the Treasury in the fiscal year 1948.
Expenditures of the Tennessee Valley Authority will increase in
the fiscal year 1948 as work progresses on the two large dams provided
for in the 1947 appropriations. By the end of 1948 construction of
the major dams will be almost complete; thereafter, the prmcipal
activity will be directed toward the effective utilization of local
resources for industrial and agricultural improvement within the
valley. The Tennessee Valley Authority finances its power opera-
tions and transmission facilities from its own revenues. The Au-
thority will continue the practice started in the last fiscal year of
making payments to the Treasury.
Expenditiu-es by the International Boundary and Water Commis-
sion for the United States share of the construction of dams and other
water improvements on the Rio Grande, in cooperation with the
Mexican Goverimaent, will be expanded in 1948, pursuant to the 1944
treaty.
Among the other expenditures by the Department of the Interior
for land and water resources in 1948, the major portion is for the
use, protection, and impi'ovement of the public lands which it manages.
The estimated expenditures for 1948 for grazing activities contemplate
restoration of the program to approximately the 1946 level. Appro-
priations for the fiscal year 1947 were cut to a level that does not permit
adequate protection and conservation of these grazing resources. The
Department of the Interior is investigating the feasibility of raising
grazing fees to cover the operating costs of the Grazing Service and also
service charges on the cost of capital improvements.
Because of critical needs for limiber, om- forests, both public and
private, must be administered to yield the maximum immediate supply
without unduly impairing futm-e timber resoui-ces. Expenditures for
the Forest Service for the fiscal year 1948 provide for increased timber-
sale administration and forest-fire control. These increases are offset
by decreases in other phases of the work.
Our mineral resources have been seriously depleted dm-Lng the war.
Substitutes or new sources of supply must now be foimd. As part of
our military program we are accumulating a strategic stock pile of
critical materials from both domestic and foreign sources. To plan
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M43
this program successfully and to assure adequate supplies for indus-
trial and consumer use, it is essential that we have full information on
our domestic resources. Consequently, the Bureau of Mmes and the
Geological Survey will make small expausions in their mineral resource
programs in 1948.
Durmg the war the national park system has been maintained on
virtually a custodial basis only. Increased expenditures are required
in 1948 to provide the most needed improvements in roads, parkways,
buildings and utilities, and for general administration and protection.
Other resource programs of the Department of the Interior will
increase by 7 million dollars in 1948. General sm-veys and topo-
graphical mapping activities by the Geological Survey must be
accelerated to provide basic data needed for natural resources pro-
grams and industrial development. Expenditures for conserva-
tion and development of fish and wildhfe resources reflect a small
increase in operating costs.
Some progress has been made in the development of Alaska, but
only a beginning. Included in several of these programs are expendi-
tures for the investigation and development of the natural resources of
this vast area. *
Appropriations. — Appropriations of 779 million dollars for resource
development in the fiscal year 1948 include an estimated supple-
mental of 4 million dollars for the Forest Service. The total is sub-
stantially below estimated expenditures for that year. Postponement
of some of the public works projects for flood control and reclamation
in the current year will leave available in 1948 substantial balances
from earlier-year appropriations. Similarly, the curtailment of other
resource development activities has resulted in some carry-over of
appropriations for these programs. A smaller amount from 1948
appropriations will be available to finance expenditures in later years.
In the case of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Budget recom-*
mendation includes contract authority in the amount of 250 million
dollars in addition to the 250 million dollars of recommended appro-
priations. The appropriations to discharge obhgations under this
contract authority will be made in futme years when the payments
become due.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
are met. The highway system, particularly, has fallen far behind the
standards which should prevail under conditions of rapidly growing
use. Urban congestion is again becoming a serious problem. Like-
wise, the enormous expansion of civil aviation since VJ-day has thrown
an increasing burden upon inadequate airway and airport facilities.
An expanded program is essential if undue hazards in the air are to be
avoided and if the development of aviation is to continue without
serious technical impediment. At the same time it is hoped to restore
prewar service standards in the postal service. The enforcement of
regulatory standards, particularly those designed for accident pre-
vention in all types of transport, should be restored, at least to pre-
war levels.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m45
It is the policy of the Government to withdraw from ship operation
as rapidly as possible and to dispose of vessels in a manner that will
promote a large and effective merchant fleet imder our flag. But, since
private operators see little prospect of profit in the coastwise trade and
much of the overseas traffic is regarded as temporary, Government
operations have continued. The Maritime Commission reconversion
program, the lay-up of vessels in the reserve fleet, and the preparation
of war-built vessels for sale are under way.
Expenditures.- — The Maritime Commission, by its petition before
the Interstate Commerce Commission, is attempting to obtain revision
of the railroad rate structure in order to permit resumption of domestic
shipping mider private auspices. We must look to the domestic trade
to provide the active core of our merchant fleet reserve, since we
camiot hope to maintain in the foreign trade alone a merchant fleet
adequate for the Nation's security. Because the long-run needs of
foreign trade are not yet clear, the expenditure estimates contem-
plate only a moderate expansion ua operating subsidies. Construction
of new vessels is limited to those for which private purchasers are avail-
able and those essential to meet specialized needs for which war-built
vessels cannot be adapted. I hope that the rate of ship disposition
and liquidation of Government operations can be expedited.
Under the War Department are two major functions relating to
transportation — the Panama Canal and the rivers and harbors work
of the Corps of Engineers. To make up deferred mamtenance, to
continue at a minimum rate river and harbor construction projects
already under way, and to make a slow beginning on projects author-
ized under the 1947 appropriation it is necessary to expand the ex-
penditures during the fiscal year 1948.
Other aids to navigation are those maintained and operated by the
Coast Guard (in the Treasury Department). The large decrease in
the fiscal year 1948 reflects the return to a normal program, the com-
pletion of previously deferred work during 1947 and early 1948, and
some reduction in Coast Guard aviation. In the interest of reducing
expenditures, the instaUation of the Loran system of radio navigation
aid will be spread over a number of years.
Most Federal expenditures for highways are concentrated in the
Federal-aid program under the Federal Works Agency. This is a
matching program in which Federal expenditures depend upon the
level of State activity within the authorized annual rate of 500
milhon dollars established for each of the first thi-ee postwar years
m46 message of the president
by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944. Materials shortages,
contracting difficulties, and high costs have delayed this program,
but the situation should ease by next year. Sums apportioned to
the States, however, are available only for a year after the close of
the fiscal year for which they are authorized, and the rate of expendi-
ture has thus far been well below congressional authorizations.
States are, therefore, under pressure to obligate these funds at once.
As has been urged by many of the States, it is recommended that the
Congress extend for one additional year the period during which
these funds may be expended. Moderate increases for the Agricul-
ture and Interior Departments are included to begin to overcome
the long deferment of work on the forest roads and trails and Indian
roads.
The sharp upward trend in expenditures by the Department of
Commerce for civil aviation results from the rapid expansion of the
industry. Inadequate facilities and services have caused serious
congestion and a threat to air safety. The expansion and moderniza-
tion of the airways system provided in these estimates is essential for
the continued progress of the industry and could not be reduced
without great risk.
As the rapid growth of aviation continues, I believe it is unwise to
place the entire bm-den of expanding, improving, and maintaining
the airways upon the general taxpayer. Instead, civil aviation should
bear a reasonable share. The Department of Commerce is consider-
ing the feasibility of various methods to recover part of the expenses
from the users.
Substantial expenditm-es for grants-in-aid to airports under the
1946 legislation are anticipated for the fii'st time, increasing from 7
million dollars in the fiscal year 1947 to 50 million dollars in 1948.
This will be channeled as far as possible into urgent work designed
to reUeve bottlenecks in air transport, but the apportionment formula
will limit the discretion of the Civil Aeronautics Administration in
scheduling first the most needed projects.
Unless legislative action is taken to revise postal rates, the Post
Office deficit threatens to be the largest in history. Mail volume has
expanded enormously, but ciu^rent operating costs have mcreased
even more rapidly. This is the chief cause of the deficit. Further
temporary additions to expenditures result from the need to take up
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m47
deferred maintenance and replace equipment. The Post OflBce
Department is studying its operations with a view to introducir^
economies. I am instructmg the Postmaster General to institute all
operating economies consistent with reasonable service and to prepare
a comprehensive recommendation for rate revision sufficient to wipe
out the deficit.
Appropriations. — Appropriations of 1,196 million dollars are in-
cluded in the Budget for the fiscal year 1948 for "Transportation and
communication," compared with estimated expenditures of 1,530
million dollars. Unobligated balances in Maritime Commission re-
volving fimds are adequate for all expenditures with the exception
of an appropriation of 6 million dollars reconunended for the mari-
time training fund and aid to State marine schools. War Depart-
ment and Federal Works Agency appropriations fall below expendi-
ture estimates because of the deferral to 1948 of work for which
appropriations were already made m 1947. The appropriations total
includes 50 million dollars for the Civil Aeronautics Administration
as an estimate of the appropriation request that will be made for the
aii'port progi'am as soon as the plans of the Agency are sufficiently
matured. Contract authorizations of 500 million dollars are included
for the Federal-aid postwar highway construction program.
FINANCE, COMMERCE, AND INDUSTRY
By the end of the current fiscal year, almost all wartime controls
of business will have ended. I recommend that the Congress extend
the authority for rent control; price control on sugar and sirups, and
rice ; sugar rationing ; export and import controls ; priority and alloca-
tion controls on a few commodities still in extremely short supply;
and a few other minimum controls which are indispensable for the
time being.
Now that we are returmng to a peacetime economy that depends for
its success on private enterprise, the Government should resume and
expand its services to business, including both financial and non-
financial aids. In addition, free enterprise depends on positive
Government action to preserve competition and control monopolies —
proper functions that a democratic government must not neglect.

Expenditures. — During the rest of this fiscal year, the Office of
Temporary Controls will discontinue as rapidly as possible direct
controls over business operations previously administered by the
Civilian Production Administration and the Office of Price Adminis-
tration. Although a few essential controls should be retained a little
longer, these, too, will be terminated as soon as conditions permit.
Among the other regulatory agencies, Foreign Funds Control
(Treasury) and Solid Fuels Administration (Interior) will also cease
operations this year.
The peacetime regulatory agencies, however, must be strengthened
from low levels justified during the war by the existence of other direct
controls. Tliis Budget, therefore, provides for the necessary increases
in such esseiitial agencies as the Federal Trade Commission, the
Federal Power Commission, the Antitrust Division (Justice), and the
Tariff Commission.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m49
The Antitrust Division will concentrate its efforts on major viola-
tions of the antitrust laws. The Federal Trade Commission will
increase its effectiveness by operating on an industry-wide basis, rather
than through the slower procedm-e of individual complaints. It wiU
also sponsor a larger number of industry conferences designed to locate
and eliminate unfair trade practices through cooperative action.
In the past year, we have made a fine start in building up the busi-
ness service programs of the Department of Commerce from then- low
wartime levels. To provide necessary information for busmess, provi-
sion of funds is recommended for a census of manufactures (already
authorized by law) and likewise for a census of business to be author-
ized by proposed legislation. No census has been taken in either area
since 1939 and present information is badly out of date. A small but
necessary increase m the business service activities of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce is also recommended. The Patent
Office urgently needs uacreases in personnel to cope with the growing
backlog of patent applications and to handle registrations under recent
trade-mark legislation.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation estimates assume that re-
payment of outstanding wartime loans to business enterprises will con-
tinue in the fiscal year 1948, but at a slower rate. In its peacetime
business loan program, the Corporation has been authorizing about
1,000 loans a month, chiefly to small business. Ninety percent of them
are in amounts of 100,000 dollars or less. The new program also
emphasizes guarantees of private credit rather than direct Govern-
ment loans. These guarantees will not require disbursements in any
large amount unless there should be an economic recession. In this
event the Reconstruction Finance Corporation stands ready to pur-
chase the loans offered by participating banks.
Since January 1946, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
been administering the loan and lease program of the Smaller War
Plants Corporation. Disbursements on previously authorized Smaller
War Plants Corporation loans are nearly finished and outstanding
loans are gradually being repaid. In the fiscal year 1948 the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation plans to retire an estunated 100 million
dollars in Smaller War Plants Corporation capital stock.
The War Damage Corporation, a Reconstruction Finance Corpora-
tion subsidiary, which at its peak had a total of 140 billion dollars of
war damage insurance in force, is also terminatmg its operations. By
1948 it will be in fuU Uquidation. The Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration has been directed to retnrn to the Treasiu-y the 210 million
dollars of net profits from this operation.
m50 message of the president
The expenditures of 310 million dollars for retirement of Smaller
War Plants Corporation capital and return of War Damage Corpora-
tion profits will be paid into miscellaneous receipts and thus have no
net effect on the total Budget. With these transfer items eliminated,
the net increase of expenditures under this function in 1948 is 33
million dollars.
Federal and State bank supervisory authorities are making special
efforts to encourage banks and insurance companies to complete
repayment of then prewar obligations to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. By June 30, 1948, the outstanding volume of such
loans and investments will be down to 100 million dollars out of a
total of about 3.5 billion dollars disbm'sed since 1932.
With stock market activity and new security issues far above war-
time levels, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires addi-
tional funds to rebuild its depleted staff and thus provide more ade-
quate protection for the millions of investors.
Appropriations. — To finance the expenditures for these programs,
estimated appropriations in the fiscal year 1948 of 116 million dollars
include anticipated additional appropriations of 53 million dollars re-
quired by proposed extension of the existing authority of the Office of
Temporary Controls and the authority of the Department of Com-
merce to control exports. They also include 14 million dollars for
new censuses under proposed new legislation.
The facilities of the Federal Government for dealing with the welfare
of labor and with labor-management disputes provide for the encom--
agement of collective bargaming, admmistration of laws and regula-
tions to protect the working force, assistance to States in promoting
employment opportunities, and gathering of basic labor information.
In my message on the State of the Union, I have asked that the
machinery in the Department of Labor for facilitating collective bar-
gaining and expediting the settlement of labor-management disputes
be amplified and strengthened. I have included administrative funds
for this purpose under proposed legislation.
I recommend also that the Congress authorize grants to States
through the Department of Labor for programs fostering safe working
conditions. The toll resulting from industrial hazards reduces the
productive capacity of the labor force. The new program should be
administered by State departments of labor under Federal standards.

Expenditures. — The National Labor Relations Board has an accu-
mulation of unresolved cases awaitmg action owing to the increased
incidence of representation cases and unfair labor practice cases and
to the reduced appropriations available for the Board's work this
year. Delay in settling such cases is in itself a cause of labor dis-
turbance. Apart from the backlog of unsettled cases, the number
of cases brought before the Board for settlement has increased. The
program submitted in this Budget is designed to reduce the backlog
and keep the Board more nearly current in handling cases. This
should diminish the incidence of strike action by labor organizations
which is encouraged by tardy handling of cases.
The public emploj^ment service system, although now composed of
the coordinated employment office facilities of the several States, is
still financed in full by the Federal Government. Expenditures for
these offices for the fiscal year 1947 are estimated at 90 million dollars.
This includes the increased cost of State operation and 1 1 million
dollars of nonrecurring terminal-leave pay for Federal employees upon
the return of the employment service to the States. It is my hope
that the public employment service system will maintain the high
standard of operations and the efficient procedures which have proved
essential for facilitating the flow of workers to areas where they are
needed.
m52 message of the president
I propose also increased expenditures for labor information and
statistics to facilitate collective bargaining and meet the more impor-
tant needs of labor, business, Government, and the general public for
current data concerning employment, wages, prices, and the like.
Appropriatiovs. — For 1948, I recommend appropriations of 118
million dollars, including the amount for proposed legislation.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
The principal types of expenditures in "General government" are
for (1) legislative and judicial activities, and executive management
and control; (2) the Government payment toward civilian employees'
retirement; (3) other services covered by appropriations which relate
to more than one function ; and (4) a few special programs necessitated
by the war, such as disposal of surplus property, which do not logically
belong in any other category.
Expenditures for these functions in the fiscal year 1948 are expected
to decline only moderately from the comparable total for 1947,
because they will still include a substantial amount for war liquidation.
Such activities will account for more than one-thii'd of all the
expenditures in this category.
Expenditures. — The work load of the Treasury Department remains
at a high level. For example, in the Bureau of Internal Revenue tax
returns for previous years remain to be audited, pending excess-profits-
tax cases must be investigated and settled, special efforts are contin-
uing to reduce tax evasion, and the number of tax retm-ns to be re-
viewed is increasing as war veterans revert to civilian status. Further,
with the resumption of foreign trade and passenger travel and the
designation of new airfields hi the United States and Alaska as ports
of entry, the staff requii'ements of the Bureau of Customs are above
the level of 1946.
The Government payment toward the Federal civilian employees'
general retirement system will be larger in the fiscal year 1948 than
in the current year. About half of the increase reflects the advance
in salary rates which took effect July 1, 1946, and was not covered in
the appropriation for 1947. The remauider of the Increase applies
agamst previous liabilities of the Government to the retu'ement
system.

The surplus property disposal program, under the War Assets Ad-
ministration, is at its peak during the current fiscal year. Henceforth,
it will be tapering off, but disposal will be relatively more difficult
as Government stocks of scarce items are reduced and as civilian pro-
duction increases. The statutory provisions governing the sale of
surplus property which give preference to certain groups of pur-
chasers have greatly complicated the disposal program, slowing down
sales and augmenting administrative costs to such an extent that
Congress might well reconsider these provisions. The expenditures
of the War Assets Administration cover only part of the handling of
surplus property; many other Federal agencies participate in this
m54
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
program. The proceeds from sales of surplus property are included in
miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury.
The return of war dead from overseas is a civil function of the War
Department which is just getting under way. The total cost of this
program is estimated at 234 million dollars. Efforts will be made to
complete this work in the next 2 j'ears.
Public buildings construction programs of the Federal Works
Agency will remain at a low level, but certain expenditures for repair
and maintenance of buildings caimot be delayed. Together with
expenses for current operation of the buildings, these constitute a
sizable portion of "General government" expenditures.
Appropriations. — The appropriation total of 1,341 million dollars
for the fiscal year 1948 includes 75 million dollars for anticipated
supplemental appropriations. The total is well below the estimated
expenditures, mainly because the War Assets Administration will be
paying obligations incurred against earlier appropriations.
INTEREST ON THE PUBLIC DEBT
The volume of interest payments on the public debt reflects the
magnitude and composition of the debt, as well as the level of interest
rates. As long as prosperity permits, our objective should be a
steady retirement in the outstanding debt. Interest rates will be
kept at present low levels through continued cooperation between the
Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve System.

The estimated increase of 50 million dollars in interest payments in
1948 over 1947 is due principally to (1) increased interest payments on
the larger volume of special issues held by trust funds which pay
relatively high rates ; (2) increased accruals on savings bonds, owing to
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
m55
a large volume of bonds reaching higher accrual brackets; and (3)
the change from semiamiual to annual payment of interest on certifi-
cates of indebtedness, effective September 1, 1946. The net effect
of these factors has been to increase interest costs in 1948, even though
the debt has been declining since its peak on February 28, 1946.
Interest payments are made on the basis of a permanent appropria-
tion. The amount shown under recommended appropriations is equal
to the estimated expenditures.
REFUNDS OF RECEIPTS
Tax refunds will be a large item in the Budget for some years to
come, largely because of overpayment of individual income tax under
the current payment system and settlement of the wartime income-
and profits-tax liabilities of corporations. The overpayments made
each year under the current payment system are in the main refunded
during each immediately succeeding year. The refunds to corpora-
tions, attributable to wartime tax liabilities, will be spread over the
next several years because of the time required to effect final settle-
ment in many cases where the various cany-back and other relief
provisions are applicable. If the war excise-tax rates are continued,
refmids in 194S will be 123 million dollars lower.

Civil Public Works
In the Budget, construction projects are listed in the programs
which they serve. In total the expenditures for civil public works
are estimated at 2.1 billion dollars in 1948 compared with 1.7 billion
dollars in 1947. These are discussed in detail in part IV.
Federal public works provide capital assets from which the Nation
derives benefits over a long period of time. During the past decade
m56 message of the president
the responsibility of the Federal Government, both directly and
tlirough grants 'to the States, has mcreased. Public construction is
essential to our veterans, natural resources, transportation, social
welfare, and housing.
Construction programs have to be scheduled over a number of
years. The work done in any one year is largely controlled by legis-
lation and appropriations in prior years. For these reasons the pro-
gram for 1948 is larger than that for 1947. While curtailment orders
in August 1946 slowed down the program, they could not alter the
trends already established by legislation.
The recommendations for the fiscal year 1948 for grant and loan
programs allow those programs to continue at rates consistent with
the authorizmg legislation.
Direct Federal construction of long-term projects will be confined to
those for which appropriations have already been made. Short-term
projects such as provision of national park facilities, forest roads and
trails, and institutional facilities will be limited to those of an_urgent
character.
The Budget contemplates the construction at a conservative rate
of all projects for flood control, navigation, and reclamation for which
initial appropriations were made in prior years. It does not provide
initial appropriations for any new projects under these tliree programs.
Even so, e.xpenditures will be greater in the fiscal year 1949 than
in 1948.
This upward trend in public construction deserves careful con-
sideration by the Congress.
Feder.\l Civilian Personnel
This Budget reflects the contmuing decline in Federal civilian em-
ployment. Federal agencies have reduced their civilian persoimel to
2,300,000 — includmg those in the Territories and possessions and in
foreign countries — from a wartime peak of 3,770,000 in June 1945.
The Budget estunates contemplate further reductions.
Total civilian personnel of the War and Navy Departments is far
below the wartime peak. Personnel in the emergency war agenmes
has been cut drastically except in the War Assets Administration,
which is at the height of its work.
Three agencies — the Veterans' Administration, the Post Office,
and the Treasury — togetlier have almost as many employees as the
1939 total of 900,000 for the whole Federal Government. Personnel
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m57
requirements of the Veterans' Administration are large because it
must administer a great variety of programs for millions of veterans.
The rise in the number of postal employees reflects the growth of the
population and the even larger increase of business and industry.
Increased employment in the Treasury results mainly from the greater
complexity and coverage of the tax system and the wide distribution
of public-debt ownership.
Total employment in all the other Government departments and
agencies combined is lower than in June 1945 even though certain
functions of emergency war agencies have been returned to the peace-
time agencies from which they were ti'ansferred and other permanent
functions have been added.
The personnel reductions were facilitated by the statutory limita-
tions on personnel and provisions for detailed personnel ceiling deter-
minations enacted by the Seventy-ninth Congress. When we began
to convert to a peacetime basis and appropriations greatly exceeded
expenditures, this legislatioji served a useful purpose. By the Legis-
lative Reorganization Act the Congress has in efl'ect decided that the
extent of Federal activities, and hence persomiel, should be determined
by the usual appropriations process. The statutory limitations and
personnel ceilings constitute a separate and possibly conflicting method
of controlling the number of employees. The appropriations process,
to my mind, is far preferable to the personnel ceilings and limitations,
since these place undue emphasis upon the number of employees and
put a premium on contractual arrangements and other measures to get
the necessary work done without exceeding numerical limitations.
I therefore recommend the repeal of the statutory limitations on
personnel and provisions for personnel ceding determinations.
Government Corporations
With the termination of wartime programs, net expenditures of
corporations in the fiscal year 1948 will be focused in a few major
areas — chiefly purchase of veterans' housing mortgages, loans to
finance rural electrification, price-support outlays for farm commodi-
ties, and disbursements on Export-Import Bank loans to foreign
borrowers. These programs represent, in the main, capital items
recoverable over a period of years. As long as high levels of business
activity continue, disbursements in all other major areas will be held
to low levels and will be partly or wholly offset by receipts.
m58 message of the president
In the fiscal year 1948 net expenditures from corporation accounts
alone will amount to 829 million dollars, compared with net receipts
of 175 million dollars in 1947. But if we take into account reduced
payments by the Treasurj^ to the corporations and increased repay-
ment of capital funds to the Treasury by the corporations, net with-
drawals from the Treasury for these programs will remain almost
unchanged, despite the sharp shift in the methods of financing them.
This is explained in detail in the summary narrative for part III.
At present certain wholly owned Government corporations have
authority to issue obligations whose principal and interest are guar-
anteed by the Federal Government. During the war the Treasury,
because of its tremendous public debt operations, requested the cor-
porations to obtain their funds directly from it rather than issue obli-
gations on the market. I now recommend that the authority of
Government corporations to issue guaranteed obligations to the public
be repealed and that such agencies be authorized to obtain their funds
solely by borrowing from the Secretary of the Treasury.
During the war, the Treasury has been advancing funds to the
corporations at an interest rate of 1 percent. This low rate was based
in part on the general level of interest rates in the market and in part
on the fact that a large proportion of corporation activities — like sub-
sidies and preclusive buying — was non-income-producing.
From now on most corporation programs will be revenue-producing.
Accordingly, I recommend that corporations be required to reimburse
the Treasury for the full cost to it of money advanced to the cor-
porations. Interest paid on borrowings from the Treasury should
be based upon the current average rate on outstanding marketable
obligations of the United States — now about 1 .8 percent. Dividends
should be paid on capital stock, if earned. While these changes in
the amount of intragovernmental transactions will not affect the
Budget deficit or surplus, they will cause the corporations' records to
reflect more nearly the true costs of their operations.
I recommend that the statutory authority of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation be extended beyond the present expiration date
of June 30, 1947. Such extension is assumed in the expenditure
estimates in this Budget. The new charter to be submitted will
provide for the repeal of all powers not reqvnred for peacetime activi-
ties. It will also provide for a reduction of 2.5 billion dollars in the
Corporation's borrowing authority. With the receipts anticipated
from liquidation of war activities the reduced authority should prove
adequate.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT M59
I have already recommended extension of the authority of the U. S.
Commercial Comjiany and reduction in the borrowing authority of the
Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation.
In this Budget, I am also recommending return of capital to the
Treasury by certain mixed-ownership corporations. The Federal
land banks will complete retirement of Government-owned capital
stock during the fiscal year 1947. In the fiscal year 1948, it appears
that they can repay the outstanding paid-in surplus of 37 million
dollars. These transactions wiU return the land banks to the status
of cooperative institutions owned by the farmers they serve. In
addition, I recommend a further small retirement of the capital stock
of the Federal home loan banks.
The Corporation Supplement to the 1947 Budget indicated that
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation could soon begin to
retire its capital stock. The continuing rapid growth in the Cor-
poration's resources and the exceptionally strong position of the
insured banks now make it possible to propose a substantial amount
of capital redemption in the fiscal year 1948. Accordingly, I recom-
mend that the Congress authorize the Corporation to repay all of
the 139 million dollars of capital furnished by the Federal Reserve
System. Smce the Reserve banks have already replaced these funds
from earnings in recent years, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System has proposed that the Congress at the same time
authorize the payment to the Treasury of the 139 million dollars. I
also recommend that the Congress authorize the Corporation to
repay 100 million dollars of the 150 million dollars furnished by the
Treasury Department.
By the close of the fiscal year 1948, after these repayments, the
Corporation will still have capital surplus and reserves of about 1
billion dollars — the objective set several years ago.
The Board of Governors has made a further recommendation, in
wliich I also concur, that the Congress repeal the existing, largely
dormant, authority of the Federal Reserve banks to make direct loans
to industry, releasing to the Treasury the funds reserved for this
purpose. The gold increment fund now includes 112 million dollars
reserved for such loans, and an added 28 mOhon dollars has been
advanced to the Federal Reserve banks. These stuns will be trans-
ferred to miscellaneous receipts.
These transfers from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
the Federal Reserve banks, and the gold increment fund will add a
total of 379 million dollars in miscellaneous receipts in the fiscal year
1948.
m60 message of the president
The Government Corporation Control Act requires that no wholly
owned Government corporation not now possessing a Federal charter
shall continue after June 30, 1948, unless reincorporated before that
time by act of Congress. Of the 16 such corporations in operation
when the act was approved, the following sLx are already in process
of hquidation: Defense Homes Corporation, Federal Surplus Coiji-
moditics Corporation, Inter- American Navigation Corporation, Insti-
tute of Inter-American Transportation, Prencinradio, and the U. S.
Spruce Production Corporation.
This Budget recommends the liquidation of five other State-
chartered corporations: Inter- American Educational Foundation,
The RFC Mortgage Company, Rubber Development Corporation,
Tennessee Valley Associated Cooperatives, and the Warrior River
Terminal Company. The residual functions of the Rubber Develop-
ment Corporation and the program of The RFC Mortgage Company
will be assumed by their parent corporation, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. The Warrior River Terminal Company will
be absorbed by the Inland Waterways Corporation, of which it is
now a subsidiary.
This Budget also recommends that tlii-ee nonfederally chartered
corporations be reincorporated by act of Congress: Commodity Credit
Corporation, Export-Import Banlc of Washington, and the Virgin
Islands Company. The act establishing the Commodity Credit
Corporation as an agency of the United States expires in June. It,
therefore, needs early consideration.
Recommendations on the Panama Railroad Company and the
Institute of Inter-American Affairs have necessarily been postponed.
The Department of State is reviewing the program of the Institute
and a recommendation regarding its future status mil be forthcoming
soon.
Activities of the Panama Railroad Company have become closely
interwoven with those of The Panama Canal in the 42 years since
the Government purchased this Company. While its major functions
obviously must be continued, a careful reexamination and reappraisal
of the respective roles of the Company and The Panama Canal are
required. As soon as studies are completed, my recommendations
will be transmitted to the Congress.
In addition to examination of the nonfederally chartered corpora-
tions, studies are under way, in accordance with the provisions of
section 107 of the Government Corporation Control Act, regarding
those corporations whose fiscal affairs could be handled more appro-
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT m61
priately iii the same manner as those of regular Federal agencies.
These and future studies will be useful, not only in developing recom-
mendations concerning specific corporations, but also in estabhshing
a consistent pattern for use of Government corporations.
While the general role of the Government corporation has been
accepted in the laws of this country for more than 30 years, the stand-
ards for use of this instrument are not fully developed and will be
subject to many refinemeiits. Experience indicates that the corporate
form of organization is peculiarly adapted to the administration of
governmental programs which are predominantly of a commercial
character — those which are revenue producing, are at least potentially
self-sustaining, and involve a large number of business-type trans-
actions with the public.
In their business operations such programs require greater flexibility
than the customary type of appropriation budget ordinarily permits.
As a rule the usefulness of a corporation lies in its ability to deal with
the public in the manner employed by private business for similar
work. Necessary controls are or can be provided under the Govern-
ment Corporation Control Act. Further study may well indicate not
only that some existing corporations ought to be converted into agen-
cies, but also that some existing agencies might acbninister their
programs more eft"ectively if they had some or all of the attributes of
corporations.

INTRODUCTION TO PART I
Part I of the Budget consists of 7 over-all summary
tables and 11 suppoiting tables. These tables present
actual data for fiscal year 1946, revised estimates for
fiscal year 1947, and estimates and Presidential recom-
mendations for fiscal year 1948.
Table 1 summarizes budget receipts by source and
budget expenditures by function, using the new functional
classification which is explained in part IV. Table 2
summarizes general and special account appropriations
and other authorizations by function. Table 3 repeats
the summary of budget receipts by source and presents a
summary of budget expenditm'es by organization unit.
Table 4 summarizes receipts and expenditures of trust
accounts, and table 5 indicates the effect of over-all
operations of the Federal Government upon the public
debt. Table 6 summarizes appropriations and other
authorizations by types of account and organization miit.
Tables 7-17, inclusive, supplj^ supporting detail for the
preceding tables. Table IS summarizes receipts from
and payments to the pubUc after excluding intergovern-
mental and noncash transactions.
Fund Structure
The tables in part I deal with transactions of (1) general
and special accounts, (2) Government corporation check-
ing accounts with the Treasurer of the United States,
(3) trust accounts, and (4) postal accounts. Receipts of
general and special accounts are known as "Budget
receipts." Expenditures of general and special accounts
(other than debt redemption) and net expenditiu-es of
Government corporations from cheeking accounts with
the Treasurer of the United States (other than redemp-
tion of obhgations in the market) ai'e known as "Budget
expenditures."
General and special accounts.— Gen&vaX accounts of the
Government are credited with receipts not designated by
Congress for specific purposes. Most appropriations and
expenditures are made from such moneys. Special ac-
counts, commonly called special funds, are credited with
receipts earmarked by Congress for specified purposes.
Special accounts are identified in tables 7 and 10 and in
part II of the Budget.
Government corporation checking accounts. — Wholly
owned Government corporations and credit agencies
finance a substantial portion of their cash requu'ements
from revenues from the sale of products and services,
collections on loans, collections of interest on loans and
investments, and receipts from the sale of collateral secu-
rity acquired by foreclosure. These receipts finance the
noi-mal operations of most of the corporations; additional
funds are obtained by borrowing or from capital sub-
scription. Several of the corporations have returned a
portion of their capital and surplus funds to the Treasury.
In some cases, these repayments are held in revolving
funds available for re-subscription.
The tables and parts of tables in part I which ai-e
labeled "Checking accounts of wholly owned Government
corporations and credit agencies with the U. S. Treasurer,
net" show only net expenditures (i. e., the difference
between gross receipts and gross expenditures). More-
over, they are limited to transactions handled through
checking accounts maintained with the Treasurer of the
United States as banker or fiscal agent. Some of the cor-
porations and credit agencies maintain checking accounts
a2
with commercial banks. The latter transactions are not
reflected in the accounts of the Treasurer; consequently,
they are not included in part I of the Budget. However,
such transactions are relatively small in amount.
Some Government corporations and credit agencies are
financed in whole or in part from appropriations. These
receipts and expenditures are included in the transactions
of general and special accounts.
Business-type budget programs for all wholly owned
Government corporations, including complete informa-
tion regarding their income and expenses and their
financial condition, appear in part III of the Budget.
Trust accounts. — In general, trust accounts relate to
moneys received by the Government for the special
benefit of individuals or classes of individuals and moneys
transferred from general and special accounts. Such
moneys are held in trust for beneficiaries, and hence are
not available for general expenditure. Net accumula-
tions in trust funds are, for the most part, invested in
obligations of the United States Government.
Postal accounts. — Postal accounts finance the operation
of the postal system. They are credited with receipts
from postal operations and with moneys appropriated
from general and special accounts to meet postal deficits.
Appropriations from postal accounts are summarized in
part I of the Budget and itemized in part II. Postal
revenues and obligations are sliowm in part II. How-
ever, the Budget does not contain a statement showing
the receipts and expenditures of postal accounts because
such transactions do not pass tli rough the hands of the
Treasurer of the United States, but are handled through
commercial banks. If, in any year, there is a postal
surplus, the net receipts of postal accounts are included
in the receipts of general and special accounts. If, on
the other hand, there is a postal deficiency, the net ex-
penditures of postal accounts are included in the expendi-
tures of general and special accounts. If the postal serv-
ice were to "break even," with neither sm-plus nor deficit,
the Budget would show no receipts or expenditures for the
postal service.
Receipts .ind Expenditures
Receipts. — The receipts for fiscal year 1946 which are
shown in part I of the Budget are those which have been
deposited with the Treasurer of the United States. Re-
payments to appropriation accounts are treated as credits
to expenditures, rather than as receipts. Receipts from
taxes for fiscal years 1947 and 1948 are estimated by the
Treasm-y Department; a discussion of these estimates is
presented in part IV. Miscellaneous receipts are esti-
mated by the various collecting agencies, subject to review
by the Bm-eau of the Budget.
Receipts of Goverimient corporation checking accounts
maintained with the Treasurer of the United States are
treated as deductions from expenditiu-es, and are not
reported separately; consequently, only net e.xpenditures
from such accomits can be shown in part I. The treat-
ment of postal receipts has been explained above.
Expenditures. — Estimates of e.xpenditm'es for fiscal
years 1947 and 1948, shown m part I, are prepared hj the
various departments and agencies, and reviewed by the
Bureau of the Budget. Actual expenditm-es for fiscal
year 1946 from general and special accounts and some
trust accounts as shown in the Budget tables represent
SUMMARY AND SUPPORTING TABLES
A3
the amount of checks issued, but the total figure for each
expenditm-e table is adjusted to show the amoimt of
checks paid by the Treasurer of the United States, less
repayments credited to appropriation accounts. Expeudi-
tm-es of some trust accomits are shown on a checks-paid
basis, and therefore need no adjustment.
Expenditures of general and special accounts, net ex-
penditures from checking accounts of Government corpo-
rations and credit agencies with the Treasurer of the
United States, and trust account expenditures are sum-
marized in part I. The treatment of'postal expenditures
has been explained above.
Appropri.\tions and Other Authorizations
Appropriations. — Appropriations authorize the em-
ployment of personnel, the pm'chase of supplies and
equipment, the awarding of contracts, and the with-
drawal of fimds from the Treasury for these and other
specified purposes. They are of two general types, an-
nual and permanent. An annual appropriation is one
which is made by current action of Congress, usually once
a year. A permanent appropriation is automatically
renewed each year, pursuant to prior legislative enact-
ment, without new action by Congress.
Appropriations may be either definite or indefinite in
amoimt. A definite appropriation is one the amount of
which is stated in the appropriation act as a specific sum
of money. An indefinite appropriation is one the amount
of which is not stated in the appropriation act as a specific
sum of money, but is determinable at some future date;
e. g., an appropriation based on certain financial require-
ments such as the interest on the public debt. Most
special account and trust account appropriations are in
the permanent-indefinite category. Indefinite appro-
priations for fiscal year 1947 are estimated, since the
amounts involved camiot be definitely determined until
after the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1947.
Appropriations may be available for obligation for a
definite or indefinite period of time. Most appropriations
are only available for obligation during a single fiscal year,
but some appropriations are available for obligation for a
longer period of years. Appropriations for construction
are generally available for incurring obligations for an
indefinite period of time until the project covered by the
appropriation is completed or terminated.
Appropriations from postal accounts are summarized
in table 6 which is supported by detailed estimates in part
11 of the Budget.
There is generally a difference — sometimes a great
difference — between the amounts of appropriations and
expenditures of general and special accounts for any one
fiscal year, due to the time lag between the enactment of
an appropriation, the incurring of obligations thereunder,
and the subsequent expenditm-es. Appropriations for a
given year are based upon the estimated amount of obli-
gations to be incurred in that year, some of which wUl be
liquidated during subsequent years, whereas expenditures
indicate the amount of cash actually disbursed during the
fiscal period. Some of the 1948 expenditures, for example,
will be used to pay off obligations incurred in 1948, but
other 1948 expenditures will liquidate obligations carried
forward from fiscal years 1946 and 1947 or even earlier
years, particularly when contract authorizations have been
employed for long-range procurement or construction
programs. On the other hand, some of the obligations
incurred in fiscal year 1948 will not residt in cash expendi-
tures until fiscal year 1949 or 1950 or some succeeding year.
Reappropriations. — Reappropriations of unobligated bal-
ances of appropriations continue the availability of unused
720001—47 a7
balances of appropriations which would otherwise expire.
Prior to the war, reappropriations were relatively small in
amount. Duruig the war, large reappropriations were
enacted principally for the War Department and the
defense aid (lend-lease) program. Further use of reap-
propriations is forbidden by the Legislative Reorgani-
zation Act of 1946, except for public works on which
work has commenced. Information regarding reappro-
priations is shown in table 1 1 .
Contract authorizations. — A contract authorization is a
statutory authorization by Congress — generally in an
appropriation act — empowering the designated agency to
enter into contracts and incur obligations for a stated
purpose prior to enactment of an appropriation. A con-
tract authorization, however, does not authorize the pay-
ment of the bills arismg from the obligations incurred.
In order to pay these bills, an appropriation to liquidate
the contract authorizations must first be enacted by
Congress. Such appropriations to liquidate contract
authorizations are included imder general and special
account appropriations.
Contract authorizations for the naval expansion pro-
gram are based on tonnage and are indefinite m amount.
The financial significance of the indefinite contract author-
izations included in this section must therefore be esti-
mated. As the program progresses and unit costs change,
the estimates are revised accordingly.
The use of contract authorizations is expanded in the
1948 Budget because of the requirements of the Legisla-
tive Reorganization Act of 1946. The appropriations in
the Budget are mainly to cover obligations to be paid
during fiscal year 1948. The areas which lend themselves
most readily to the use of contract authorizations are
long-range procurement programs, activities requiring ad-
vance planning, and activities requiring years to complete.
Thus contract authorizations become another control in
these activities. They permit long-range planning and
procurement, and the annual appropriations thereunder
permit annual review by the President and Congi-ess and
some flexibility in the timing of work to be done.
Limitations on Government corporation expenses. — Con-
gress has placed linritations upon the amount which cer-
tain Government corporations may use from their own
funds for administrative expenses and for advances to
Farmers' Home Administration and Rural Electrification
Administration. Such hmitations are summarized in
table 6 and itemized in table 15.
Authorizations treated as public debt transactions. — Con-
gress has authorized the Treasury to provide the new funds
for the International Monetary Fund, the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the
Export-Import Bank by the issuance of Government secur-
ities. Such authorizations appear in table 6. The por-
tion of the United States subscription to the International
Monetary Fund financed from the Exchange Stabilization
Fimd established imder the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 is
excluded from the table, but the proposed Ime of credit
to be extended to the United Kingdom is included.
Rescissions of appropriations and contract authoriza-
tions.— Congress has directed the President thi'ough the
Bureau of the Budget to maintain a continuous study of
appropriations and contract authorizations made for
national defense and war purposes and to recommend the
rescission of such funds no longer required for the purposes
for which they were granted. No rescissions have been
recommended as yet for 1947. Such recommendations
will be transmitted to Congress in January as requested
by Congress.

' Net appropriation to Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund is excluded from employment taies, but included as trust account receipt.
' Represents payments to the International Monetary Fund.
To judge the effect of the Federal finances on mflation,
and for other related purposes, it is desirable to compare
the collection of cash from the pubUc by the Federal
Government with cash payments to the public. The
table on "Heceipts from and payments to the public"
indicates the actual flow of money between the Federal
Government and the public. The pubhc is defined to
include individuals, private corporations, State, local, and
foreign governments, and international organizations. To
show actual receipts from and payments to the public,
transactions of the general and special accounts, corpora-
tions, trust accounts, and exchange stabihzation fund
must be consoUdated and noncash transactions must be
excluded. The consolidation eliminates transactions be-
tween and among Government accoimts. These trans-
actions aft'ect receipts and expenditures in the same
amoimt and thus do not affect the Treasury cash balance
or the public debt. Noncash expenditures include such
items as interest due on savings bonds held by the public
which will not be paid until the bonds are reiJeemed; sub-
scriptions to the International Monetary Fund in the form
of non-interest-bearing notes, which will later be exchanged
for cash; and terminal-leave pay in interest-bearing bonds,
which will be redeemed in cash at a later date.
In the fiscal year 1947, although there wdll be a budget
deficit, all Federal accounts consolidated are expected to
take in about 3.9 biUion doUars more cash than is paid out.
In the fiscal year 1948, the excess of cash receipts over
SUMMARY AND SUPPORTING TABLES
Al29
payments will amount to about 3.2 billion dollars. This
figure, however, reflects the increase in employment taxes
from 2 to 5 percent scheduled under present law to become
effective on January 1, 1948. This change in tax rates
will increase anticipated receipts dm-ing the fiscal year
1948 by about 600 miUion dollars. Fm-ther, the figm-es
reflect no allowance for payment of dividends out of the
National Service Life Insurance trust fund. If employ-
ment tax rates are not increased, and to the extent that
dividends are paid during the fiscal year 1948, the excess
of cash receipts will be correspondingly reduced. A reces-
sion, which would reduce tax revenues and would requu-e
increased payments from the unemployment compensa-
tion trust fund, for veterans' readjustment benefits, and
for certain other purposes, would also adversely affect the
balance between cash receipts and payments.
No estimate of redemption by the International Mone-
tary Fund of non-interest-bearing notes is included in
cash payments, since no estimate is available.
Receipts from the public are shown under the accounts
to which the collections from the public are deposited
except in one case, naniely, the net appropriations from
the general and special account receipts to the Federal
old-age and survivors insm-ance trust fund are treated as
trust account receipts and therefore are excluded from
"Employment taxes." Payments to the public are shown
in this presentation under the accoimts from which the
disbm-sements to the public are made. Hence, payments
to the public from the general and special, corporation, and
trust accomits cannot properly be compared with the sum
of receipts from the public for the same accounts because
of the elimination of transfers between these accounts.
For example, part of the amounts transferred from general
and special accounts to trust accounts is held in trust for
payment to the public in future years and part is paid out
to the public currently but shown in the table under trust
account payments instead of under general and special
and corporation accouut payments. Continued opera-
tions of insmance, retu-ement, and other trust funds on a
reserve basis require that receipts from the public appro-
priated and transferred to such funds exceed payments
from the fmids to the public for some years to come.
Since Government corporations are treated as an
integi'al part of the Federal Government, sales and
redemptions of corporation obligations on the market are
combined with other Federal debt transactions to arrive
at net borrowing from or repayment of debt to the public.
A supporting schedule, sho\\Tng detailed adjustments
made to the Budget figures in preparing this table, will
be furnished on request by the Bureau of the Budget.

INTRODUCTION TO PART II
Part II consists of the official estimates of approjiriation recom-
mended by the President in the form of ]5ro])ospd language of
appropriations, together with supporting schedules. The detailed
schedules for each appropriation title give data on a comparative
basis for fiscal years 1946 and 1947 in addition to information for
the fiscal year 1948. In order to make the data for 1947 more nearly
comparable to 1948, the appropriate sums which it is estimated will
be required as supplemental appropriations for 1947 are included in
these instances where the need for additional funds is definitely
known and the amounts can be determined with reasonable ac-
curacy. The great majority of these supplementals are due to
legislation, such as the Federal Eniplo.vees Pay Act of 1946 for
which no provision was made in the regular appropriations for 1947.
Excluded from part II are supplemental appropriations probably
required where the amount cannot be estimated accurately at this
time, and appropriations to carry out new legislation or extension
of existing legislation which will otherwise expire. (One-line tenta-
tive estimates for such items generally appear in table 6 of pt. I.)
The contents of part II are arranged in chapters, each one usually
covering an executive department or a major agency. The Execu-
tive Office of the President and various independent establishments
are placed within a single chapter. Estimates of the Legislative
and Judicial branches are also in separate chapters.
Each chapter begins with a summary table which compares the
amounts of appropriations and contract authorizations estimated
for 1948 with the 1947 figures, including certain estimated supple-
mental appropriations as explained above. This table is foUowed
by an explanatory statement, describing briefly the functions and
programs provided for in the budget estimates. The remaining
portion of each chapter consists of the proposed appropriation
language and supporting schedules. They are explained in the
following illustration:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The estimates for the legislative branch provide for the
salaries and expenses of the Members and staffs of the"
Senate and the House of Representatives, and for the
operation and maintenance of the Capitol, the Senate and
the House Office Buildings, the Botanic Garden, the
Library of Congress, and the Government Printing Office.
The 1948 estimates for the legislative branch reflect a net
increase of approximately 12 percent over total estimates
for 1947.
The estimates for the United States Senate provide
salaries for 96 Members and the regular employees and
for travel and contingent expenses of the Senators. The
1948 estimates indicate a net decrease of approximately
9 percent under estimates for 1947. However, neither the
present estimates for 1947 nor the estimates for 1948
reflect fully the eventual effects of the Legislative Reor-
ganization Act of 1946.
The estimates for the House of Representatives provide
salaries and expenses for 435 Members, Territorial Dele-
gates, and the regular employees. While the 1948 esti-
mates indicate a net decrease of approximately 12 percent
under present estimates for 1947, neither year reflects
fully the effects of the Legislative Reorganization Act of
1946.
The Architect of the Capitol is responsible for the
operation and maintenance of the Capitol, the Senate and
House Office Buildings, and the Library of Congress. The
net increase of approxiniately 87 percent in these estimates
is accounted for largely in the foUowdng items: Capitol
Building and repairs, improving the Capitol grounds,
maintenance of the House Office Building, and the
Library buildings and grounds.
The Botanic Garden, which is also under the juris-
diction of the Architect of the Capitol, shows a 2 percent
increase in its estimates due to salary advancements.
The Library of Congress provides library and reference
service not only to Members of Congress but for the eiitire
Federal Government and for many thousands of private
citizens. The 1948 estimates for the Library of Congress
are approximately 70 percent larger than the 1947 esti-
mates. These increases are due largely to proposed
increases in staff, salary advancements, and expansion of
various services.
The Government Printing Office is the printer for the
entire Federal Government. Costs of printing included
in this estimate are for the legislative branch only. The
amount included in the 1948 estimates shows a 4 percent
increase over the 1947 appropriations.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
Appropriations for The Judiciary provide funds for
operation of all Federal courts, including the payment of
salaries of justices, judges, officers, and employees, and
miscellaneous expenses. In addition, provision is made for
the activities of such judicial officers and employees as
United States commissioners, conciliation commissioners,
and probation officers, and for the Administrative Office
of the United States Courts.
Estimates for the fiscal year 1948 reflect additional
sums which will be required for an anticipated increase in
criminal prosecutions during that year.
In accordance with law, estimates for The Judiciary are
included in the Budget without revision, in the amounts
approved by the Conference of Senior Circuit Judges,
except that estimates for the Supreme Court and the thi'ee
lower courts having special jurisdiction in claims, customs,
and patents litigation are included in the amounts ap-
proved by the respective courts.
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
The increase reflected in the estimates for the Supreme
Court results from provision for additional law clerks for
justices and other additional personnel for the Court, as
well as amounts for statutory pay increases not effective
dm'ing all of the current year.
OTHER FEDERAL COURTS
The increases under this heading include $348,600 for
repairs and improvements to the Court of Claims build-
ing, $278,798 for salaries of additional judges, probation
officers, and other judicial officers and assistants, $277,202
for increases required by pay legislation, and smaller
amoimts for increased commodity and other costs.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES COURTS
This Office, established by act of Congress approved
August 7, 1939, is responsible to the Judicial Conference
of Senior Circuit Judges for the performance of adminis-
trative services to The Judiciary, the preparation and
reporting of statistical data relatmg to the activities of
the courts, and similar matters. The increase reflected
in the 1948 estimates for the Administrative Office is to
permit resumption of certain functions curtailed during
the war years, and to provide for expanded services to the
courts under the authority of legislation enacted during
the past several years.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
The White House
These appropriation estimates provide for the com-
pensation of the President, the salaries and expenses of
the White House Office, an emergency contingent fund
for the President, and the cost of maintaining the Execu-
tive Mansion and grounds. The appropriations for the
President's immediate office provide for the handhng of
documents and correspondence, in addition to maintain-
ing communication with Congress, heads of the executive
departments and agencies, the press, the radio, and the
general public. The new emergency fund appropriation
will provide the President with some additional assist-
ance and funds to take care of unforeseen emergencies.
BUEEAU OF THE BuDGET
The Bureau of the Budget assists the President in the
preparation and administration of the Federal Budget
covering the entire fiscal program of the Government.
In addition, as a staff agency of the Federal Government,
the Bureau makes studies to improve the organization
and procedures of Federal agencies; clears departmental
recommendations regarding pending legislation. Execu-
tive orders, and proclamations; and coordinates Federal
statistical services. The Bureau also provides staff and
services for the Federal Board of Hospitalization. The
1947 appropriation included $417,000 for part of the
activities of the Office of Government Reports, recently
transferred and reestablished as a separate part of the
Executive Office of the President. The small net increase
in 1948 estimates over the comparable estimates for 1947,
will provide for automatic salary increases and some addi-
tional emphasis on improving the organization and pro-
cedures of Federal agencies.
Council of Economic Advisers
The Council of Economic Advisers was established by
the Employment Act of 1946 (Public Law 304, 79th
Cong.). Members took office in August 1946. Two
hundred seventy-five thousand dollars was appropriated
for salaries and expenses in the current year.
Section 2 of the Employment Act sets forth as goals of
national policy, the maintenance of "conditions under
which there will be afforded useful employment oppor-
tunities for those able, willing, and seeking to work,"
and the promotion of "maximum employment production
and purchasing power."
Implementation of these goals within the executive
branch center around the Economic Report to the Con-
gress submitted by the President at the beginning of each
session and supplemented by interim reports from time
to time.
Under the provisions of the act, the Council of Economic
Advisers assists the President in the preparation of the
annual Economic Report. It also analyzes and interprets
economic trends and appraises Federal economic programs
in light of the goals set forth in the act. As a result of
these studies, the Council makes recommendations to the
President on national economic policies and programs. In
addition it makes such special studies as he may request
from time to time.
In accordance with the terms of the act, the Council
utilizes to the maximum the services, facilities, and infor-
mation of other Government agencies and private research
agencies. In making its studies and recommendations,
it obtains the advice and counsel of representatives of
State and local governments, labor, industry, agriculture,
consumers, and others. In consequence, the staff of the
Council is and wiU remain very small.
Office for Emergency Management
office of defense transportation
The Office of Defense Transportation was created by
Executive Order 8989 on December 18, 1941. The basic
responsibility of this agency was to insure that all forms
of domestic transportation were utilized to meet the
transportation requirements of the Nation. The person-
40
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
uel of tlie agency was reduced rapidly in the fall of 1946.
The Highway Transport Department was completely
liquidated and the forces of other departments were
materially reduced.
During 1947 the agency met the emergency transpor-
tation needs arising from the boxcar shortage, strikes, and
shortages of material. Much of the work in this connec-
tion was performed by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion on a reimljursable basis. It is planned that the
agency's principal business will be terminated by April
30, 1947, with a small staff being retained to the close of
the fiscal year to continue necessary car service operations.
No estimate for the fiscal year 1948 is submitted.
OFFICE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH .\ND DEVELOPMENT
The Office of Scientific Research and Development was
established on June 28, 1941, as an emergency war agency
for scientific and medical research. The estimated ap-
propriation of $623,800 for the fiscal year 1947 was neces-
sary to meet the administrative expenses of liquidating
the agency's wartime activities and eflfecting final settle-
ment of research contracts with academic and industrial
institutions which were terminated shortly after the
cessation of hostilities.
Since it is contemplated that this liquidation program
will be completed by the end of the fiscal year 1947, no
estimate of appropriation for the agency is included in
the 1948 Budget.
OFFICE OF TEMPORARY CONTROLS
The Office of Temporary Controls was created on
December 12, 1946, by Executive Order No. 9809 which
consolidated the Office of War Mobilization and Recon-
version, the Office of Price Administration, the Civilian
Production Administration, and the Office of Economic
Stabilization. It is expected that this consolidation will
result in economies in operation, and in a more rapid
liquidation of programs, personnel, property, and records.
The Office is responsible for carrying out the remaining
responsibilities of the Office of Price Administration and
the Civilian Production Administration, and certain
activities of the Office of War Mobilization and Recon-
version. Unless extended by Congress, the priorities
powers under which the Civilian Production Administra-
tion operated will expire March 31, 1947, except for those
over building materials which expire on June 30, 1947.
The principal Office of Price Administration programs
which continue by law are sugar rationing and rent
control. Statutory authority for sugar rationing will
expire on March 31, 1947, and for rent control on June 30,
1947.
The functions of the Office of Economic Stabilization
already have been largely terminated as a result of decon-
trol of prices and wages and elimination of most items from
rationing. The statute under which the Ofiice of War
Mobilization and Reconversion operated expires June 30,
1947. Until that date most residual functions will be
carried on by the Office of Temporary Controls.
No estimate for 1948 for the Office of Temporary Con-
trols is included in this chapter but is included elsewhere
in this Budget within the amount estimated for extension
of legislation.
PHILIPPINE ALIEN PROPERTY ADMINISTRATION
The Philippine Alien Property Administration was
created by Executive Order 9789 of October 14, 1946,
pursuant to the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended,
and the Philippine Property Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 418).
The order transfers to the Philippine Alien Property
Administrator, with respect to property located in the
Philippines, all authority, rights, privileges, powers, duties,
and functions vested in the former Office of Alien Property
Custodian, or transferred or delegated thereto. The pri-
mary objective of the agency is to complete the vesting
program in the Pliilippines prior to transfer of all Philip-
pine alien property activities to the Government of the
Pliilippines. These activities requii'e no appropriation
but are financed from the Administration's own funds
under congressional limitation.
WAR ASSETS ADMINISTRATION
The War Assets Administration was established by
Executive Order 9689 on March 25, 1946, succeeding to
the policy-making functions of the Sm-plus Property
Administration and to the operating functions of the War
Assets Corporation and Smaller War Plants Corporation.
The same order vested all functions relating to disposal
of surpluses outside the United States, its Territories, and
possessions in the Department of State. Under Public
Law 181, Seventy-ninth Congress, the Surplus Property
Administration had succeeded to the functions of the
Surplus Property Board created by the Surplus Property
Act of 1944.
The War Assets Administration is charged with the
care, handling, and disposition of domestic surplus prop-
erty, and is empowered by the act to prescribe regulations
effectuating its provisions. Under authority conferred
by the act 1 1 Government agencies have been desig-
nated to assist in the disposal of surplus property. How-
ever, more than 95 percent of the property available for
disposal is carried in War Assets Administration inven-
tories.
Among the 20 statutory objectives governing the dis-
posal of surplus property are the follo\\-ing: (a) to promote
reestablishment of a peacetime economy of free private
enterprise; (b) to strengthen and preserve the competitive
position of small business; (c) to establish returning
veterans in agriculture, business, and the professions;
(d) to dispose of surpluses rapidly without fostering
monopoly; (e) to obtain fair value for the Government.
In making disposals of personal property the Adminis-
tration is required by the act to afford purchasing priori-
ties in the follomng order to: the Federal Government,
veterans, small business, State and local governments,
and nonprofit institutions. In addition, a number of sur-
plus items especially desired by veterans are designated by
the Administrator and set aside for exclusive sale to them.
The act provides also for discounting the sale or lease
value of property disposed of to health and educational
institutions, to the extent of benefits thereby accruuig to
the United .States, and for the donation to such institu-
tions of any property having no commercial value or
entailing care and handling expenses greater than esti-
mated proceeds. The priority and preference provisions
of the act have retarded the disposal of surplus property
and constitute a substantial cost factor in the operations
of the agency, while the discount and donation programs
result in reduced cash recovei'ies by the Government on
its original investment in such properties.
During the fiscal year 1947 the disposal activity will
pass the peak, both in terms of all-time inventories and
monthly volume of sales. This does not mean, however,
that fiscal year 1948 will be merely a clean-up year. Large
EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND INDEPENDENT OFFICES
41
stocks of the less desirable and long supply items wall be
Ccarried over, to be offered on a market where the demand
for surpluses will markedly diminish. This condition
will apply particularly to the disposal of plants, where an
increasingly greater proportion of the inventory on hand
will consist of special-pm-pose installations not readily
convertible to peacetime uses.
To offset adverse marketing factors, greater use will be
made in 1948 of summary disposal methods, including
competitive bids and negotiated sales. Pricing policy
will imdergo continuous scrutiny. Scrap actions will be
stepped up and export outlets exploited. Nevertheless,
the rate of recovery on the Government's original invest-
ment in surplus property will decline, whde over-all dis-
posal costs in relation to proceeds will rise above current
levels.
The $327,500,000 estimate for 1948 is $230,500,000 less
than the estimated appropriation for 1947. This de-
crease is attril:)utable primarily to a smaller volume of dis-
posals and a lower level of inventories on hand, and to the
unification and simplification of disposal and adminis-
trative methods.
Office of Government Reports
The Office of Government Reports was established in
the Executive Office of the President pursuant to the pro-
visions of Reorganization Plan I of 1939. Appropria-
tions were authorized and the functions of the Office out-
lined by the Congress in the following year (3 U. S. C. 54).
Certain functions of the Office of Government Reports
were subsequently absorbed by the Office of War Informa-
tion. This Office was terminated on August 31, 1945, by
Executive Order 9608. Its special services were trans-
ferred to the Bm-eau of the Budget. These services
provide a centrafized newspaper cfipping service for
officials of both the executive and legislative branches;
maintain a correspondence service handling public in-
quiries; revise the U. S. Government Manual, containing
a statenient of the organization and functions of the Gov-
ernment agencies together with their principal officials;
and prepare news digests for the information of the Presi-
dent and his staff.
By Executive Order 9809, of December 12, 1946, appli-
cable provisions of prior Executive orders were repealed
and these services were transferred from the Bureau of
the Budget to the reestablished Office of Government
Reports. The order also transferred to the Office the Mo-
tion Pictm'e and Media Programing Divisions of the Office
of War Mobilization and Reconversion which had been
established at the request of the advertising and motion-
picture industries as a liaison point between the Govern-
ment and the industries.
The functions transferred to the Office of Government
Reports had available appropriations aggregating $583,750,
for fiscal year 1947. The recommendation for fiscal year
1948 contemplates the same level of activity as in the
current year.

of $2,431,708,000 provides for payments for unused leave
credits, in cash and in bonds, to enlisted men of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard who were dis-
charged prior to September 1, 1946, and payments to
officers and enlisted men in the armed forces on September
1, 1946, for unused accumulated leave in excess of 60 days
but not exceeding 120 days, and administrative expenses
in connection with making such payments. The bonds
issued will mature 5 years from the date of discharge and
bear interest at the rate of 2}^ percent. No amoimts are
included for these purposes in the estimates for the fiscal
year 1948.
Defense Aid — Lend-Lease
It is anticipated that the liquidation of the vast procure-
ment activities carried out under this appropriation will be
completed during fiscal year 1947. During fiscal year 1948
and for a number of years thereafter the remaining lend-
lease task will consist of the implementation of the several
settlement and "pipe-line" agreements. Foreign govern-
ments have agreed to pay the LTiiited States over one
billion dollars over a period of 30 years; they have also
agreed to certain conditions regarding the use and dispo-
sition of lend-lease goods. As in the case of all interna-
tional agreements, the State Department will have respon-
sibility for seeing the terms of these agreements carried
out and also that the agreed periodic repayments on the
various credits are made.
The original Lend-Lease Act, approved on March 11,
1941, was enacted "to promote the defense of the United
States, and for other purposes." Under this act the
President was authorized, when he deemed it to be in the
interest of the national defense, to sell, transfer title to,
exchange, lease, lend, or otherwise dispose of articles, in-
formation, or services to any country whose defense the
President deemed vital to the defense of the United States.
On April 18, 1945, the act was extended to June 30, 1949,
for purposes of carrying out agreements with foreign gov-
ernments entered into prior to June 30, 1946. The agree-
ments for the delivery of the remaining "pipe-line" goods
to foreign recipients were all executed prior to June 30,
1946, and deliveries will be completed dining fiscal year
1947.
To enable the President to carry out the provisions of
this act, there has been available direct appropriations to
the President totaling approximately 30.7 billion dollars.
Of this amount 385 million dollars has been transferred
to United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administra-
tion and 500 million dollars has been transfen-ed to the
Department of Agriculture for the postwar price support
of agricultural commodities. In addition to these appro-
priations, the Congress authorized the President to trans-
fer certain articles and services purchased directly by the
War and Navy Departments, and to lease vessels pro-
cm'ed out of appropriations made to the Navy Depart-
ment and the I'nitcd States Maritime Commission.
Following tlu' surrender of Japan the President's au-
thority for making lend-lease settlements was transferred
to the Secretary of State. The remaining operations
under the act were continued by such other principal
Federal agencies as the Treasury Department, the War
Department, the Navy Department, the Department of
Agricultm;e, the War Shipping Administration, and the
United States Maritime Commission.
No obligating authority is requested for fiscal year 1948
nor is any further appropriation under this title required .
Overtime, Leave, and Holiday Compensation
Tliis appropriation was made to enable the President
through the departments and agencies concerned to pay

claims for overtime, leave, and holiday compensation at
night rates as certified imder the provisions of the act of
July 31, 1946 (Public Law 575). These claims developed
following a ruling of the Comptroller General.

American Battle Monuments Commission
The American Battle Monuments Commission main-
tains and operates 8 national cemeteries and 12 memorials
in France and Belgium, commemorating the services of
American Expeditionary Forces during the First World
War, and has been given responsibility for the planning
of World War II permanent cemeteries and memorials.
Appropriations for 1947 provided for part of the repair
and rehabilitation of damage to and deterioration of
installations during World War II. The estimates for
1948 contemplate a small increase in the maintenance
force, a continuation of the repair and rehabilitation of
World War I properties, other than the completely de-
stroyed Brest Naval Memorial, and surveys of each of
the three World War II theaters of war preparatory to
recommending sites for cemeteries and planning con-
struction of memorials.
Atomic Energy Commission
The Atomic Energy Commission was established by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1946, approved August 1, 1946.
The Commission operates within the framework of the
policy set forth by the act, which declares that, subject
to the paramount objective of assuring the common
defense and security, the development and use of atomic
energy shall, so far as practicable, be directed toward
improving the public welfare, increasing the standard of
living, strengthening free competition in private enter-
prise, and promoting world peace. The Commission is
made the exclusive owner of all fissionable materials and
of all facilities for the production of fissionable material.
To advise and assist the Commission, the act provides for
a general advisory committee appointed by the President,
and a military liaison committee with members assigned
by the Secretaries of War and the Navy.
In prior fiscal years, responsibility for the development
and application of atomic energy was vested in the Man-
hattan Engineer District, War Department, financed by
funds appropriated to that Department. In August 1946,
the President was authorized by Public Law 663 to allo-
cate the unexpended balances of funds available to the
Manhattan Engineer District to such agencies as he might
determine. The President in December 1946 transferred
to the Commission the properties, contracts, and civilian
personnel of the Manhattan Engineer District. Durmg
the remainder of the fiscal year 1947, the Commission's
activities will be financed from the funds thus allocated.
It is estimated that all funds allocated to the Commission"
in fiscal year 1947 will be fully obligated in that year.
The nature of the Commission's activities is 'such that
certain contracts for services to be rendered to the agency
in the succeeding fiscal year must be negotiated in the
prior fiscal year. For tliis reason, the budget estimate for
the Commission for the fiscal year 1948 contains contract
authority in the amount of $250,000,000, in addition to
an appropriation of an equal amount to finance current
expenditures. The total amount of new obligational
authority for the Atomic Energy Commission in fiscal
year 1948 is $500,000,000.
Civil Service Commission
The Civil Service Commission recruits, selects, and
certifies persons for employment in the executive branch
of the Government. Normally, selections are made as a
result of competitive examinations. Dm-ing the war
yeai's the Commission discontiiiued competitive examina-
tions because of the m-gcncy of filling a large number of
vacancies in a scarce labor market. Persons who were
appointed during this period received a war-service
indefinite appointment. A two-year program has been
formulated to replace war-service appointments with
permanent-status persomiel by June 1948, and to recon-
vert from a wartime to a peacetime civil service. The
program will entail the examining and certifying of a
large number of persons who may wish to compete for
available positions. Persons holding war-service appoint-
ments who wish to be retained in their positions will be
required to compete \\dth applicants from both within
and outside Government.
In converting from war conditions, the Commission has
considered it advisable to decentralize certain phases of
recruitment and placement activities to the agencies and
their field establishments. This broader decentralization
extends to the agencies a wider participation in the selec-
tion of their personnel. This function is accomplished
through committees and boards of examiners operating
under the control of the Civil Service Commission, who
are authorized to examine and select personnel for the
more technical positions peculiar to a particular agency
and for the mechanical and trade positions in the field
service. The members of tlie committees and boards are
appointed by and composed of employees of the estab-
lishments of the respective departments and agencies and
operate under the supervision of the Civil Service Com-
mission in accordance with procediu'es and rules estab-
lislied by it. The selection of personnel involves, par-
ticularly with regard to applicants for the more
responsible Government positions, investigations of
character, loyalty, and suitability.
Through the promulgation of rides and regulations and
the issuance of standard procedures, the Commission to a
large extent provides du-ection to all Federal personnel
activities. It is responsible for the administration of the
Classification Act which requu-es that the duties and
responsibilities assigned Government positions be the
basis for equitable salary allocations. It adjudicates
appeals and prescribes a uniform performance rating
system.
Responsibility for the administration of the retirement
laws for Government employees, including the employees
of the Panama Canal and the Alaska Railroad, is vested in
the Commission. In addition, the Commission represents
the United States Government in fulfilling the Govern-
ment's commitments as an employer under the provisions
of the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944.
The Commission during fiscal year 1948 will continue
to place emphasis on their program of conducting open
competitive examinations which will result in the replace-
ment of war-service appointments by permanent-status
appointments. The decrease of $.381,315 in the estimate
for general administrative expenses for 1948 from the
amount estimated for 1947 results primarilj' from antici-
pated decreases in administrative work connected with
retirement refunds for employees who may be separated

prior to 5 years of Federal service, and curtailment of
wartime need for a heavy recruitment and placement
program.
Appropriations are made annually toward the Govern-
ment share of providing benefits to participants in the
retirement and disability funds provided by law for em-
ployees of the Federal service. The appropriations and
contributions made by the participating employees pro-
vide the trust funds from which benefits are paid.
The 1948 estimate for retirement funds represents a net
increase of $23,408,000. This additional amount is made
up of an increase of $23,900,000 in the estimated amount
required for the civil-service retirement and disability fund
resulting in part from an increase in pay rates of Federal
employees under the Pay Act of 1946 and in part from an
increase in the Government's accrued liability in the fund;
and a decrease of $492,000 for the Panama Canal con-
struction annuity fund.
Federal Communications Commission
The Federal Communications Commission regulates
interstate and international communictions by wire and
radio. It administers the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended; international treaties, conventions, confer-
ences, and agreements relating to electric communica-
tions; and advises the State Department on the teclmical
aspects of international communications. The Com-
mission also handles technical matters for the Inter-
departmental Radio Advisory Committee, which advises
the President on the assignment of frequencies for use by
Government agencies.
The Commission's activities include regulation of radio
(broadcast, and safety and special services) and common
carriers using radio or wire. Radio regulation requires
allocation of the radio spectrum among the many services
and Hcensing the use of frequencies, surveillance of trans-
missions to protect freedom from interference and to
secure compliance with the law, licensing of operators,
prescribing of engineering standards, and monitoring.
Common-carrier regulation applies to interstate and inter-
national tariffs, physical connections, through routes and
charges, construction and abandonments, mergers, serv-
ice, and depreciation. Also included is jurisdiction over
uniform accounting, valuation, and reporting of operations.
The remarkable wartime developments in the science of
electronics have had a tremendous influence on radio com-
munications systems. Transmission is now practicable,
for example, over a range of 30,000,000 kilocycles, as com-
pared with a prewar range of approximately 300,000 kilo-
cycles. As a consequence, the number of radio stations
in the established services is increasing more rapidly than
earlier forecasts could have predicted. At the same time,
new types of services are being established. In October
1946, there were more than 1,400 standard (AM) and 400
frequency modulation (FM) broadcast stations in the
United States and its 'Territories as compared with 950
AM and 50 FM stations in October 1945. Nearly 1,200
station applications (668 AM, 525 FM) were pending
before the Commission in October 1946.
Among the newer services, television is undergoing a
similar development while the increase is equally striking
in safety and special-service operations — police, fire, air-
craft, ships, railroads, and others. In the 12 months to
October 1946, stations on aircraft more than tripled. All
safety and special-service stations, excluding amateur, in-
creased approximately 70 percent, with available evidence
indicating a continuance of expansion in this held.
Common-carrier regulatory problems are currently
accentuated by the vast postwar reconstruction and
development programs of the Bell Telephone System and
Western Union Telegi-aph Company. Serious problems
exist, moreover, because of the public utility nature of
the carriers' operations. Western Union's representation
that its service could not be continued without an increase
in rates, coupled with evidence that such a change might
result in a substantial loss of business, has led the Com-
mission to propose a general investigation into Western
Union's affairs with respect to its service, rates, and
charges.
The budget for the fiscal year 1948 is $7,300,000, an
increase of $1,063,052 over total estimated appropriations
for 1947. Of this 17 percent increase, $375,000, or over
one-third, represents the cost of the Western Union
investigation, a nonrecurring item. The $688,052 re-
mainder will enable the Commission to cope with its
increased work load, which varies directly with industry
proposals to establish new services and with the number
of radio station applications. These considerations re-
quire continuous Commission action in reviewing allo-
cations, preparing engineering and other standards for
station operation, and reviewmg applicability and ade-
quacy of international treaties and regulations. The
increase to carry on regular activities is after adjustments
for increased efficiency of operations achieved during the
current fiscal year and^ curtailment or elimination of
certain regulatory activities.
Federal Power Commission
The Federal Power Commission administers the Fed-
eral Power Act of 1935 and the Natm-al Gas Act of 1938
and has certain duties under the provisions of several
other acts relating to Federal power developments such
as Tennessee Valley Authority Act, Bonneville Act, Fort
Peck Project Act, and the Flood-Control Acts. Its prin-
cipal fimctions are as foUows: (1) to license hydroelectric
power projects on navigable waters of the United States
and on United States Government lands; (2) to regulate
the rates charged by public utilities and natural gas com-
panies engaged in the transmission and sale of electricity
and natural gas at wholesale in interstate commerce; (3)
to approve rates for sale of electric energy at the Bonne-
ville, Fort Peck, Denison, and Norfork projects and future
reservoir projects under the control of the War Depart-
ment; (4) to regulate the disposition, merger, and con-
solidation of facilities of public utilities and their acquisi-
tion and issuance of securities; (5) to regulate the inter-
locking du'ectorates of public utilities; (6) to prescribe and
enforce uniform sj^stems of accounts for licensees, electric
utilities, and natural gas companies and to encourage
sound depreciation and accounting practices; (7) to assist
State agencies on rate cases and other regulatory matters;
(8) to study the present and potential markets for electric
energy and the present and potential sources for its pro-
duction; (9) to study the possibilities for future intercon-
nection and coordination of electric power systems
throughout the country and to recommend to the utility
industry improvements in the interest of conservation of
energy resources and lowering the cost of energy to the
ultimate consumer; (10) to issue certificates of public con-
venience and necessity for the acquisition, construction,
extension, and operation or abandonment of natmal gas
pipe lines and facilities for the transportation or sale of
natural gas in interstate commerce; (11) to determine serv-
ice areas for natural gas companies; (12) to report to Con-
44
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
gress on proposed and existing compacts between States
relating to the conservation and use of natural gas; (13)
to gather, analyze, and publish basic financial and engi-
neering data concerning electric utilities and natural gas
companies; (14) to make cooperative studies of river basins
in the interest of conservation and utilization of water-
power resom-ces and to make the results of such studies
available to the War Department, Department of the In-
terior, and other Federal, State, and private agencies con-
cerned; (15) to study flood-control projects proposed by
the War Department and to recommend facilities for the
development of hydroelectric power in connection there-
with; and (16) after consulting with the Secretaries of War
and State, to recommend to the President appropriate
action on applications for permits to construct, operate,
maintain, or connect facilities for the exportation of electric
energy and the exportation or importation of natm-al gas.
The estmiate tor the fiscal year 1948, aggi-egating
$4,259,700, constitutes an increase of $487,3D0 over the
estimated 1947 appropriations. The increase is reflected
mainly in additional requirements as a consequence of the
Admmistrative Procedures Act and additional work for
licensing hydroelectric projects, rate regulation, certifi-
cates of convenience and necessity, river bashi surveys,
power requirements and supply, corporation regulation,
and gathering and analysis of basic data.
Federal Trade Commission
The Federal Trade Commission is charged with the
responsibility of administering acts which are designed to
accomplish the following purposes: (1) To promote free
and fair competition in interstate trade in the interest of
the public through prevention of price-fixing agreements,
boycotts, combinations in restraint of trade, unlawful
price discriminations, and other unfair methods of compe-
tition and unfair and deceptive acts and practices; (2) to
safeguard life and health of the consuming public by pre-
venting the dissemination of false and fraudulent adver-
tisements of food, drugs, cosmetics, and devices which
may be injurious to health; (3) to protect producers,
manufacturers, distributors, and consumers from unre-
vealed presence of substitutes and mixtures in manufac-
tured wool products; (4) to supervise the registration and
operation of associations of American exporters engaged
solely in export trade; and (5) to gather and make avail-
able to the President, the Congress, and the public, factual
data concerning economic and business conditions as a
basis for remedial legislation where needed, and for the
guidance and protection of the public.
The $3,978,000 estimated for expenses for the fiscal
year 1948 is approximately 40 percent greater than the
amount estimated for 1947. An increase of $852,880 is
included to implement the Commission's handling of
investigations and corrective actions on an industry-wide
basis. It has been the practice of the Commission, when
it received a complaint, to proceed with an investigation
of the specific company complained against and, if the
complaint was valid, to prohibit the specific company from
following the unfaii- practice. Thus competitors of that
company were free to follow the same unfau- practice until
complaints against them were received and until time
permitted the Commission to conduct an investigation
and issue individual cease-and-desist orders with respect
to each company. Using an industry-wide basis the
Commission now, on its own motion, initiates an investi-
gation of a whole industry; and all members of the in-
dustry who are using unfair competitive methods are pro-
ceeded against simultaneously. The industry-wide ap-
proach permits the Commission to eliminate the inequities
that were inherent in the former individual case method.
The Commission now places greater emphasis on the
elimination of unfair trade practices through cooperative
means. In those instances where circumstances permit,
industry members are given an opportunity to eliminate
unfair methods of competition through stipulation agi-ee-
ments to cease and desist or through the establistunent of
trade practice rules. Heretofore trade practice con-
ferences were held only when the Commission received a
request for rules from an industry. These conferences
are now initiated by the Commission where this method of
eliminating unfair trade practices appears appropriate.
This action by the Commission permits more prompt,
equitable, and economic settlement of the issues involved
than is otherwise possible.
The remaining increase of $275,000 is to provide for the
participation by the Commission in a coordinated Federal
progi'am for the collection and compilation of business
financial statistics. The Federal Trade Commission and
the Securities and Exchange Commission will collaborate
in carrying out the Federal program relating to business
financial statistics. When compiled, these statistics will
be made available to other Government agencies and to
the public.
General Accounting Office
The General Accoimting Office audits the Government's
receipts and expenditures, prescribes accounting systems,
maintains appropriation accounts, settles claims, and con-
strues and interpi-cts laws.
The 1948 estimates for the General Accounting Office
show a substantial reduction compared with the 1947
appropriations. By far the greater portion of the appro-
priation is required for the performance of auditing
functions, including the audit of the accounts of Govern-
ment corporations.
The work will be relatively current by the end of 1948,
but bacldogs may still exist in some activities such as the
audit of Government checks.
Housing Expediter
The Office of the Housing Expediter was originally
established by Executive Order 9686, which was issued
on January 26, 1946. The order empowered the Expe-
diter to study and make recommendations for the solu-
tion of the housing problem, especially with respect to
the emergency housing needs of veterans.
The Expediter was given a statutory basis and required
appropriations were authorized by the Veterans' Emer-
gency Housing Act, approved May 22, 1946. This act,
in addition to incorporating the powers conferred by the
Executive order, gave certain additional emergency
powers to the Expediter, including the power to allocate
and establish priorities for building material and equip-
ment in short supply; to make premium payments for
additional production of materials essential to housing;
and to guarantee, within certain prescribed standards,
the market for factory-built houses and for new-type
building materials.
Both Executive Order 9686 and the Veterans' Emer-
gency Housing Act authorized the Expediter to carry
out any portion of his program through the facilities of
existing Government agencies. The Expediter elected,
in accordance with this authority, to carry out his program
EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND INDEPENDENT OFFICES
46
through the staff and faciHties of various Government
agencies, notably, the National Housing Agency, Civilian
Production Administration, Office of Price Administration,
Labor Department, Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
and the Department of Agriculture. On February 12,
1946, the President effectively combined the positions and
staff' of Housing Expediter and National Housmg Admin-
istrator when the incumbent of the former position
assumed the latter post.
Public Law 519, Seventy-ninth Congress, authorized
payment of the admimstrative expenses of the Expediter
and the veterans' emergency housing program from funds
appropriated and made available under title V of the
Lanham Act. Consequently, no appropriation estimate
has hitherto been submitted for the Housuig Expediter.
Concurrently with his announcement in December
1946 of a housing program to reflect the decontrol pohcy,
the President reestablished the status of the Housing
Expediter as an independent officer by separate appoint-
ments to the positions of Housing Expediter and National
Housing Administrator. Separate budget estimates are
therefore transmitted to the Congress.
The Housing Expediter assumed his duties so recently
that operating policies and procedures have not been
completely formulated. Nevertheless, an over-all esti-
mate of the cost of the program is included in the
Budget.
Interstate Commerce Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission regulates those
railroads, motor carriers, pipe lines, stockyards, water
carriers, and freight forwarders operating in mtorstate
commerce. In general, its jurisdiction covers matters of
tariffs, finance, operating authority, service, safety, ac-
counting, and valuation. Regulation, in accordance with
the national transportation policy, is performed in such a
way as to recognize the inherent economic advantages of
each type of carrier; to promote safe, adequate, economi-
cal, ancl efficient service; to encourage the estabhshment
of reasonable charges; and to encourage fair wages and
equitable working conditions.
Following considerable reduction and deferment of
work during the war because of the preponderance of
Government traffic and the consequently fewer private
requests for adjudications, the Commission has emerged
from the war period with a greatly increased volume of
work. Prominent among the areas in wliich these in-
creases have taken place are: expanded regulation of
water carriers and freight forwarders following legislation
enacted in 1940 and 1942, respectively; resumption of
intensive field investigations of motor carriers' accounts
after concentrating on operational considerations during
the war period; increasecl tariff filings, resulting not only
from a natm'al postwar rise similar to post-World War I
experience, but also from the Commission's recent far-
reaching rate decisions; and intensified activity in the
motor-carrier field to improve safety conditions. The
increases in tariff work are reflected throughout the Com-
mission in almost proportionate increases in its hearing,
finance, complaint, accounting, and valuation work.
The budget estimate for the fiscal year 1948 is $11,898,-
000, an increase of $1,375,297 over total estimated appro-
priations for 1947. Of this 13-percent increase, $766,843,
or over half, is for the Bureau of Motor Carriers, while the
remainder is distributed among the other bureaus in
proportion to the augmented volume of work to be per-
formed as indicated above.
National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was
established in 1915 to supervise and direct the scientific
study of the problems of flight and to direct and conduct
research and experiments in aeronautics. The member-
ship of the Committee includes official repi'esentatives of
the agencies of the Government directly concerned with
military and civil aviation and private citizens especially
qualified in the aeronautical sciences. The actual research
work is carried on prhnarily at the three laboratories of
the Committee: The Langley Memorial Aeronautical
La])oratory at Langley Field, Va., the Ames Aeronautical
Laboratory at Moffett Field, Cahf;, and the xVircraft
Propulsion Research Laboratory at Cleveland, Ohio. The
Committee supplements the research work performed in
its own laboratories by awarding contracts to institutions
having available specialized facihties and scientific per-
sonnel capable of assisting in the solution of special
technical problems.
The research programs of the Committee are carefully
coordinated with the aeronautical development programs
of the military services, and since the end of the war
greater emphasis is being given to the solution of problems
relating to the unprovement of all types of civil ancraft.
The 1948 estimates of appropriations and contract
authorizations make provision for the construction of test
facilities urgently needed for research in connection with
the development of ah'craft and propulsion units capable
of exceeding the speed of sound. The estimates of appro-
priation for 1948 total $36,360,000 and contemplate an
increase of $5,445,000 over the estimated appropriations
for 1947, primarily to provide additional personnel for the
operation of new facilities and to meet increased costs of
supplies and equipment necessary for the Committee's
work in the high-speed ranges.
National Archives
The National Archives is charged with the preservation
and servicing of inactive Federal records of permanent
value and historical interest for use of Govermnent
officials and scholars. In addition, it authorizes agencies
to dispose of useless records when Congress has previously
approved the disposal of records of similar form and
character, recommends to Congi'css the approval of
schedules listing records for future disposal at the source,
and after appraising records declared worthless by heads
of agencies, makes recommendations to Congress for
their disposal. This agency likewise publishes the Fed-
eral Register, containing interdepartmental orders of
general effect and applicability, and administers the
Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park, N. Y.,
which is the designated repository for the late President's
official papers.
The increase of approximately 35 percent m the 1948
estimates is for analysis and description of records,
rehabihtation of records and films badly in need of care,
the codification of the Federal Register in 1948, handhng
and exhibiting additional books and papers of the Frank-
lui D. Roosevelt Library, and a substantial start on the
preparation of guides to the records of Woiid War II.
National Capital Housing Authority
The National Capital Housing Authority is the public
housing agency for the National Capital and, under title
I of the District of Columbia Alley Dwelling Act, operates
112 dwelling units and 5 nom-esidential properties located
in reclaimed slum areas in the District. All receipts
46
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
derived from sales, leases, or other sources in connection
with the operation of these properties are covered into
the Treasury monthly.
The amount in the 1948 Budget required to protect
and conserve the Government's investment of some
$555,000 includes additional costs made necessary by
recent pay legislation.
Other activities of the National Capital Housing
Authority, which are financed from other appropriations,
include the operation and management of war and other
housing projects.
National Capital Park and Planning Commission
The functions of the National Capital Park and Plan-
ning Commission are of an advisory and also an operating
character. Its advisory activities, which include prepara-
tion and maintenance of a comprehensive plan for the
development of the National Capital and its environs, are
charged against District revenues and therefore appear in
the District of Columbia chapter of the Budget. The
operating function of the Commission includes acquisition
of land for the development of the National Capital's park,
parkway, and playground system and the George Wash-
ington jSIemorial Parkway on both sides of the Potomac
River, and for the extension of the District park system
into nearby Maryland and Virginia. Appropriations for
these purposes are charged against the United States
Treasury but are subsequently repaid either in whole or
in part by the jurisdiction benefited: 100 percent by the
District of Columbia; 50 percent by Virginia and Mary-
land for development of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway; and G673 percent by Maryland for extension of
the park system in territory adjacent to the District.
The Commission has the further responsibility of making
a comprehensive plan and project area redevelopment
plans under the District of Columbia "Redevelopment Act,
for which appropriations of Federal funds are authorized.
The total estimates of $3,368,000 for 1948 represent an
increase of $2,500,250, due primarily to advances and
contributions to the Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. Of the total estimates, $2,994,000
is required for land purchases in Maryland, $200,000 for
the George Washington Memorial Parkway, $79,000 for
lands within the District of Columbia, and $95,000 for
redevelopment planning and surveys.
National Labor Relations Board
The National Labor Relations Board administers the
provisions of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U. S. C.
151-166). Like a court of law, the Board has little or no
control over the number of actions brought before it but
is under a statutory mandate to process appropriately all
cases formally filed in its several regional offices. More-
over, the Board's work objective is comparable to that
of a court: to resolve as rapidly as possible, consistent
with careful investigation of the facts and due process of
law, the issues brought before it for determination.
The National Labor Relations Act guarantees, as a
matter of national poUcy, the rights of employees to self-
organization; to form, join, or assist labor organizations;
and to bargain collectively through representatives of
their own choosing. The act defines five specific types of
unfaLr labor practices, which, if engaged in by employers,
constitute interference with the afore-mentioned em-
ployees' rights. The Board investigates charges of alleged
unfair labor practices and, if after appropriate notice
and hearing it finds that such practices have been com-
mitted, it is empowered to issue a cease-and-desist order
against the employer found to have committed such acts.
An order of the Board may be enforced, modified or set
aside by a United States circuit court of appeals upon
proper petition by the Board or an aggrieved employer.
The act provides that representatives designated or
selected for the purposes of collective bargaining by the
majority of employees, in a unit appropriate for such
purposes, shall exclusively represent all employees in
such unit for purposes of collective bargaining. The
Board is responsible for investigating questions concern-
ing representation of employees for collective bargaining
and for certifying the majority representative of em-
ployees in the appropriate bargaining unit. In the
course of such investigation the Board may take a secret
ballot, make a check of union members' cards or authori-
zations against the employer's pay roll, or utilize any
other suitable method to ascertain such representative.
A slight decrease in the relative number of representation
cases handled, as compared to the number of unfair labor
pi'actice cases handled, occurred in fiscal year 1946,
reversing a steady upward trend during the preceding
10 years. During fiscal year 1946 the Board received
approximately 2 representation cases (8,445) to every
unfair labor practice case (3,815).
The Board is confronted with a rapidly moimting back-
log of cases, which has the effect of increasing substantially
the period between receipt and disposition of a case. The
backlog increased by 42 percent during fiscal year 1946
and by an additional 23 percent during the first quarter
of the current fiscal year. The accelerated rate of backlog
accumulation m the current year is brought about by a
greatly increased rate of case receipts and by a drastic
reduction by Congress below estimated appropriation
requu'ements. The volume of cases received per month
since the beginnmg of the current fiscal year has averaged
42 percent above the monthly average of cases received
during fiscal year 1946 and is at a higher level than in any
previous year. The present excessive lag in case disposal
tends to prolong; em ploj^ei -employee tension while cases
are pending and to promote strikes rather than prevent
them. Because of this lag, labor organizations are im-
pelled to resort to strike action as a defense against unfair
labor practices and m order to establish proof of majority
representation for purposes of collective bargaining,
rather than invoke tne judicial procedures of the Board.
It follows from the nature of the Board's work, and fi'om
its key position in tne national economy, that the Board
must be equipped witli funds and personnel sufficient to
handle cases brought before it. The Board has formu-
lated a program to dispose of incoming cases and to reduce
its backlog to a current operating basis by the middle of
fiscal 3'ear 1949. To iJiitiate this program during the
current fiscal year, the Board proposes a supplemental
estimate of appropriation for 1947. The 1948 estimates
provide for continued execution of the proposed program.
National Mediation Board
The National Mediation Board and the National Rail-
road Adjustment Board are two administrative agencies
created under the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended
in 1934 and 1936. The purpose of the act is to promote
and maintain order in the labor relations of carriers by
rail and air and the organizations representing their
employees.
Under the act, the National Mediation Board has the
duty, with respect to railroad and air carriers, to: (1)
EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND INDEPENDENT OFFICES
47
mediate disputes concerning rates of pay, rules, or work-
ing conditions; (2) investigate disputes over representa-
tion and conduct secret ballots or checks of authorization
for the purpose of ascertaining the freely chosen, duly
designated and authorized representatives of the em-
ployees involved; (3) induce the parties to submit un-
resolved disputes to arbitration; (4) notify the President
whenever an unadjusted controversy threatens substan-
tiall}^ to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree which
would deprive any section of the country of essential
transportation and to service emergency boards which
may be created by the President in such instances; and
(5) perform certain functions in connection with the
National Railroad Adjustment Board. This procedure
was successful in avoiding major strikes on carriers until
wartime emergency powers operated to restrict free
collective bargaining.
To adapt tlie procedure to the wartime period in which
major labor organizations generally observed a no-strike
pledge, Executive Order 9172 creating the Railway Labor
Panel provided for appointment of emergency panel
boards to find and publish facts affecting a dispute in
which mediation had failed and a proposal to arbitrate
was i-ejected. These boards are operative without the
necessity of a threatened interruption to essential trans-
portation, a condition precedent to the creation of an
emergency board under section 10 of the act. In order
to restore the railway labor procedm-e to the statutory
pattern, the language making funds available for the
Railway Labor Panel and its emergency panel boards has
been deleted from the text of the 1948 appropriation
estimates.
The National Railroad Adjustment Board consists of
36 members equally representative of and compensated
by the carriers and the labor organizations, and composing
four divisions, independent of one another, each with
jurisdiction over specified crafts of employees. It is the
duty of the divisions of the Board to act on petitions from
the parties seeking adjustment of unresolved disputes,
involving an employee or group of employees and a carrier
or carriers, growmg out of grievances or out of the inter-
pretation or application of agreements concerning rates
of pay, rules, or working conditions. Secretaries to the
members, administrative persomiel, and incidental ex-
penses are paid from appropriations authorized by the act.
The 1948 estimates provide an over-all increase of
$140,000. The fast developing air transport industry is
a source of new work load. A reduction resulting from
termination of the Railway Labor Panel is offset by
increased funds for emergency boards under section 10
of the act. The net increase is due almost entirely to
higher costs for printing decisions and increased costs of
office rent for the National Railroad Adjustment Board,
lesser amounts being required for mediator trainees and
within-grade salary increases.
Philippine War Damage Commission
To implement the policies of the United States toward
the Philippines as embodied in the Tydings-McDuffie Act
of 1934, the Seventy-ninth Congress enacted the Philip-
pine Rehabilitation Act of 1946 (Pubhc Law 370, 79th
Cong.) which authorized the appropriation of $400,000,000
for the purpose of assisting in the restoration of the econ-
omy of the new Republic. Because of the widespread
property loss and destruction in the Philippines the Con-
gress in its committee reports recognized that the money
authorized would provide only for partial restitution of
property losses. The Philippine War Damage Commis-
sion was entrusted with the duties of adjudicating and
paying war damage claims to those qualified under the
law.
The Commission began operation with an appropriation
of $10,000,000 carried in the Third Deficiency Appropria-
tion Act of 1946. Inasmuch as the Commission had been
established by the Seventy-ninth Congress and was just
beginning its work, that sum of money was considered to
l)e adequate to meet the needs for the fiscal year 1947.
The Commission will be organized for large-scale handling
of claims by the opening of fiscal year 1948 and the pro-
vision of $90,000,000 is estimated to be necessary to meet
immediate needs for payment of war damages during that
year.
Price Decontrol Board
The Price Decontrol Board was created by the Price
Control Extension Act of 1946. Its three members were
appointed late in July 1946. In August, hearings were
held and decisions rendered on the decontrol of meat,
dairy products, fats and oils, and grains. Due to the
acceleration of the decontrol program following the
President's announcement of the decontrol of meat on
October 14 and the subsequent decontrol of most other
commodities on November 10, the Board has reduced its
staff to a minimiun; the Board members will remain on
an "on call" basis until June 30, 1947, or as long as the
act is in force.
Railro.\d Retirement Board
Legislation, enacted in the closing days of the Seventy-
ninth Congress (Public Law 572), substantially expanded
and liberalized the program administered by the Railroad
Retirement Board. The amendments added survivors'
insurance, modeled after the old-age and survivors insur-
ance system, requiring the use of wages recorded under
both systems in determining the survivors' benefits payable
under either system. Occupational disability insurance,
a new development in American social insurance, was also
added. The basis upon which physical disability insur-
ance becomes payable has been liberalized and minimum
annuities have been increased. The retirement age for
women raUroad workers was reduced to 60 years. Taxes
were substantially increased to provide for the costs of the
new insurances and the liberalization of already estab-
lished insurances. It was also intended that the increased
taxes should place the retirement program on an actuari-
ally soimd and self-supporting basis.
The amendments practically double operating costs of
the retirement program for 1947 and 1948. In addition to
a substantial increase in the volume of claims by reason of
the new insurances, the Board will be required to review
in the next 2 years some 356,900 cases out of which
232,000 new awards are expected. The provision for the
joint use of wage records under both the retirement and
old-age and survivors insurance programs will require
modifications of a substantial nature in both programs in
order to make the wage data available for use under either
system. Part of the costs of 1947 and 1948 will be non-
recurring after these years tlu-ough the elimination of the
retroactive review of previous awards or disallowances,
but because of the new insurances and more liberal basis
for determining rights under existing insurances, the
retirement program will continue indefinitely at a sub-
stantially higher level than in 1946. The estimates for
salaries, miscellaneous expenses, printing and binding, and
48
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
penalty mail reflect for 1948 the increased requirements
due to the changes brought about by the amendments.
The railroad retirement appropriated account is made
up of the estimated taxes to be collected from carriers and
their employees to provide, after deduction for annual
administrative costs, for retirement, disability and sur-
vivorship benefits. It also includes Federal contributions
for military service which represent, as provided by law,
the total tax which would have been received had the
worker entering military service continued in railroad
employment with earnings of $160 per month. The very
substantial increase in the estimate of taxes for 1948
reflects the increase in the tax rates beginning with the
calendar year 1947.
By reason of the continued receipt of taxes in excess of
benefit payments and administrative costs the railroad
retirement trust fund at the close of 1946 had improved
its position over the previous year. It is anticipated that
this improvement will be more rapid during the next few
years by reason of the increased tax rates applicable.
The railroad unemployment insurance fund annually
receives 10 percent of the taxes collected for raih-oad
unemployment insurance. It is used for the administra-
tive costs of operating the railroad unemployment insur-
ance system. The unexpended balance of this fund in
excess of the $6,000,000 at the close of each fiscal year
together with 90 percent of the taxes collected, goes into
the railroad unemployment insurance trust fund and is
used to pay unemployment, sickness and maternity
insurance benefits. By virtue of amendments to this
act increasing the benefit period for unemployment insur-
ance, and adding sickness and maternity insurance and
liberalizing benefit payments, administrative costs will
increase. The unexpended balance transferable to the
trust fund at the close of each fiscal year will be corre-
spondingly decreased. Because of prior year transfers
to the railroad unemployment insurance trust fund and
current accumulations, this trust fund is in a very strong
position to meet any demands in 1948 which may be
made upon it.
Securities and Exchange Commission
The functions of the Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion include the supervision of registration of security
issues and suppression of fraudulent practices in the
sale of securities; regulation of transactions in securities,
both on the stock exchanges and in the over-the-counter
markets; regulation of public utility holding companies;
registration and regulation of investment companies and
investment advisers; and the preparation of advisory
reports on plans and participation as a party in corporate
reorganization.
The volume of corporate financing registered with the
Commission during the year 1946 exceeded the average
for the thi'ee preceding war years by more than 200 per-
cent, reflecting the favorable market conditions prevalent
during most of the year which have encouraged new
financing and continued refunding operations. Postwar
borrowing by corporations for additional capital for
expansion combined with anticipated continued favorable
market conditions, wiU continue the upward trend in
financing. As indicated by the number of shares traded
on the New York Stock Exchange, the volume of trading
in securities in 1946, both on national stock exchanges
and in the over-the-counter markets, continued at close
to the 7-year high record established in 1945. This vol-
ume, together with the violent price fluctuations which
characterized trading in 1946, has resulted in a correspond-
ing increase in the Commission's work in connection with
surveillance of markets and broker-dealer inspections,
pointing to the need foi- strengthening the staff. Progress
continued with the integration and corporate simplifica-
tion of public utility systems under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935. The inability of both the
Commission and the companies involved to secure ade-
cjuate technical personnel during the war years, which
seriously retarded this work, is no longer a problem. The
integration and simplification work under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act will be accelerated during
1947 and 1948. During 1948 the Commission will also
resume the compilation and publication of statistical
reports on individual companies, a program which was
inactive during the war period.
The $6,500,000 estimated for expenses for the fiscal
year 1948 is approximately 18 percent greater than the
amount estimated for 1947. The additional funds are
to provide primarily for (1) increased activity in the
surveillance of security markets and in the inspection
of broker-dealers, (2) strengthening the staft' engaged
in processing i-egistration statements covering refundtngs
and new financmg, (3) accelerating the mtegration and
corporate simplification of public utility holding company
systems, and (4) the compilation and publication of finan-
cial statistics of individual companies. The Securities and
Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission
will collaborate in, cariyiaig out tlie Federal program relat-
ing to business financial statistics. When compiled, these
statistics will be made available to otner mterested Gov-
ernment agencies and to the public.
Selective Service System
The Selective Training and Service Act will expire
March 31, 1947. For that reason, no estimate of appro-
priation for the Selective Service System for the fiscal
year 1948 is included in this chapter.
Smithsonian Institution
The Smithsonian Institution, fom:ided in 1846 for "the
increase and diffusion of knowledge among men," carries
on fundamental research in the natm-al sciences, and ad-
ministers the United States National Museum, the Astro-
physical Observatory, the National Collection of Fine
Arts, the Bureau of American Ethnology, the International
Exchange Service, and the Canal Zone Biological Area.
The Institution establishes the standards which control a
large proportion of the scientific inquiries of mankind.
Much of its basic research is of great benefit to the oil, min-
ing, manufacturing, and fishing industries, to engineering
enterprise, and to medical research. The increase of
approximately 22 percent in the 1948 estimates is required
for the cataloging of scientific specimens, a pilot study in
modernization of exhibits, better cleaning of floors and
glass, pruitmg and binding, and rehabilitation of the
laboratories and physical plant of the Canal Zone Bio-
logical Area.
The National GaUery of Art is a quasi-independent
branch of the Smithsonian Institution. Here are dis-
played free to the public world-famous paintings and
other art objects. The attendance at the Gallery con-
tinues to be greater than that at any other art gallery in
the world. An increase of appi'oximately 7 percent in the
EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND INDEPENDENT OFFICES

1948 estimates is requii-ed for expansion of administrative,
curatorial, and educational functions.
Tariff Commission
The Tariff Commission is an independent fact-finding,
fact-reporting agency which studies the effects of United
States and foreign trade activities on United States domes-
tic industries and international trade tlu'oughout the
world. Its investigations provide a basis for action by
the Congress, by the President, and by the executive
departments.
The major objective of the Commission traditionally
has been the factual determination of the effect of United
States import policies on domestic industries facing com-
petition from goods produced abroad. The Commission
does not determine trade policies or the level of tariffs;
these functions belong to the Congress and the President.
Since its establishment in 1916, besides developing a staff
of acknowledged competence, the Commission has become
a reservoir of trade, production, commodity, and import
information of wide use to Government agencies.
Dm-ing fiscal year 1947 it is estimated that total funds
available to the Commission will be $1,109,000 and the
proposed appropriation for fiscal year 1948 totals $1,320,-
000, an increase of $211,000.
Since the termination of the war, the United States
Government has been pursuing a series of major programs
directed toward the expansion of international trade;
namely, the resumption of trade-agreement negotiations,
participation in the International Bank and the Monetary
Fund, granting the British loan, and participation
in a proposed mternational trade organization. Fiscal
year 1947 represents a transitional year during which
preparations for the stimulation of trade have been under
way, but trade cannot be expected to revive fully in this
year. The nuclear trade-agreement negotiations wi'l
not have been completed until the early part of fiscal
year 1948 nor will the international trade organization
have been established before then. Similarly, the full
effects of the British loan, the operation of the World
Bank and the Monetary Fund, and special legislation
such as the Philippine Trade Act, will not be felt until
1948 and after. In 1948 also the Government must
determine the future of trade agreements since the
enabling act expires in June of that year.
With the expansion of international trade within
elaborate systems of governmental controls, the need for
fact-finding by the Tariff Commission as the basis for
administrative and legislative decisions will be greatly
increased. The economic welfare of the United States
as well as of the other United Nations depends upon the
success of revived, expanding trade; and the mainte-
nance of a high level of employment, both in the United
States and abroad, is directly related to the successful
expansion of the exports and imports of the United States.
The Tax Court of the United States
The function of the Tax Court is to review administra-
tive determinations of tax deficiencies made by the Com-
missioner of Internal Uevenue and to finally decide
whether there is a deficiency or an overpayment in mcome,
profits, estate, gift, and unjust enrichment taxes, and
personal holding company surtaxes; to adjudicate con-
troversies relating to excess profits on Navy contracts and
Army aircraft contracts; and to review the action of the
Commissioner in deficiency and refund cases founded on
claims of abnormalities under excess-profits statutes.
720001—47 A 16
The Court also has jurisdiction in cases involving refunds
of processing taxes, and in determining the amount of
excessive profits on war contracts when contractors
appeal determinations made under the Renegotiation Act.
The 1948 estimates for the Tax Court ol the United
States show an increase of approximately 7 percent over
1-947 appropriations. This mcrease is necessary to enable
the Tax Court to handle an existing backlog of cases and,
at the same time, to handle a considerable volume of new
cases which will requu-e attention in 1948.
United States Maritime Commission
The Merchant Marine Act of 1936 declared a merchant
marine to be "necessary for the national defense and
development of * * * foreign and domestic com-
merce." The act represented a compromise after 150
years of controversy, departing from previous legislation
by accepting the principle of open subsidization of both
construction and operation, regulated to prevent abuses.
To administer the act. Congress created the United States
Maritime Commission and entrusted it with broad dis-
cretionary authority to define and establish "essential"
trade routes; to administer construction- and operating-
differential subsidies; to purchase, construct, and operate
vessels either directly or by contract under certain condi-
tions; to train officers and seamen, and to establish work-
ing conditions, wages, and manning scales for inclusion
in subsidy contracts; to provide ship-mortgage insurance;
to regulate trade practices and prevent discrimination
among shippers; and to promote both foreign trade and
the employment of American vessels.
The Maritime Commission's principal wartime respon-
sibility has been the building of ships. Its prewar func-
tions of purchase, charter, operation, and seaman-training
were transferred to War Shipping Administration by
Executive order issued February 7, 1942; and during the
war this agency was responsible for the operation of the
largest merchant fleet in the world. By December 1,
1946, the active fleet operating for Government account
had declined from a wartime peak of about 4,000 vessels
to approximately 1,100 vessels.
Pursuant to the act of July 8, 1946 (Public Law 492),
all functions and appixipriations of the War Shipping Ad-
ministration were transferred to the United States Alari-
time Commission on September 1, 1946. This action was
taken "For the purposes of the liquidation by December
31, 1946, of all of the [operating] functions of the War
Shipping Administration. * * *" However, the
Commission was given an extension of operating author-
ity for two more months, to March 1, 1947, by act of July
23, 1946 (Public Law 521). The 1948 Budget makes pro-
vision for these activities only to the date of March 1, as
specified by Congress.
Construction fund. — Prunary responsibility of the United
States Maritime Commission in 1947-48 is to restore pri-
vate operation in accordance with the Merchant Marine
Act of 1936. This requires ship sales and chartei-s, sup-
ported by reconversion of war-budt vessels and operating-
differential subsidies. The Budget also provides for a
limited amount of new construction of specialized vessels
to round out the peacetime American merchant marme,
and for administrative expense, surplus property disposal,
maintenance of ship-yard facilities, operation of ware-
houses, and preservation of unrequired vessels in reserve
fleets, as requii-cd by the Merchant Ship Sales Act of 1946.
Cash and contract authority will be available from prior
year balances and receipts for the above-enumerated
responsibilities.
50
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Revolving fund. — Continued operation cA ships for Gov-
ernment accoiuit is provided for only to March 1, 1947,
in accordance with the act of July 23, 194G. Surplus
war-built vessels are being sold or chartered as rapidly
as possible, and it is estimated that ap])roximately $1,000,-
000,000 of the $11,000,000,000 spent for construction of
vessels during the war will be recovered to the Treasury.
Maritime training. — This activity, although carried on
by the War Shippuig Admhiistration dining the war, is
a statutory function uf the United States Alaritune Com-
mission. It was established by amendment to the Mer-
chant Marine Act in 1938.
The 1948 budgetary provision of $5,470,000 for this
purpose contemplates the continuance of support for
State marine schools and for other federally conducted
traming on a i-educed scale commensurate with peacetime
requhements.
State marine schools. — In addition to the direct trainmg
activities of the Maritime Commission, grants are made
to estabUshed State marine schools.
The appropriation for State marine schools is to provide
for matching grants and per capita payments for out-of-
State students, and for repairs to vessels.
The uicrease m the 1948 estimate is related to the item
of ship repaus.
Authority for the establishment of and the payment of
matching grants for the State marine schools is contained
in the act of March 4, 1911.
Employees' Compensation Commission
The functions of the Employees' Compensation Com-
mission were transferred to the Federal Security Agency
under the provisions of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946,
approved by Congress on July 16, 1946. A description
of this program and the recommendation for the provision
of funds therefor is set forth under Federal Security
Agency head in this Budget.
Veterans' Administration
The Veterans' Administration furnishes to the veterans
of all wars and of the peacetime Military Establishment
services consisting mainly of medical and hospital care,
the payment of compensation and pensions, the adminis-
tration of Government life insurance, and a number of
broad new programs for veterans of World War II,
namely, vocational rehabilitation for disabled veterans;
protection from loss of connnercial insurance policies in
accordance with the Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act; the
guaranty of loans to eligible veterans for the purchase of
homes, farms, or business properties; the provision of
subsistence allowances, tuition, books, fees, and educa-
tional supplies to eligible veterans who wish to obtain
additional education or who desire to obtain training in a
vocation; and the payment of readjustment allowances to
veterans while seeking employment, or while attempting
to establish themselves as self-employed, for a period after
their discharge.
The extremely rapid demobilization of the armed forces
following the surrender of Japan placed a tremendous
burden upon the agency — one which it was practically
impossible to foresee with any degree of accuracy. Con-
sequently, supplemental appropriations of over $2,000,-
000,000 will be required for the fiscal year 1947, in addition
to the over $6,000,000,000 curreiitly available. Total
appropriations rciiuiicd foi- fiscal year l'.»4S are estimated
at almost $7, OOO, (100,000, or nearly $1,500,000,000 less
than now estimated for 1947.
While the estimated appropriation required for "Sal-
aries and expenses" reflects a decrease of about $7,000,000
from the 1947 estimate, actually the proposed new appro-
priation "Veterans' miscellaneous benefits" includes, for
1948, $58,200,000 of items charged to the "Salaries and
expenses" appropriation in 1947. For a statement show-
ing, by functions, comparable obligations for fiscal years
1946, 1947, and 1948 from the "Salaries and expenses"
appropriation, see page 150. It should be noted that while
total obligations increase $54,000,000 on a comparable
basis (from $838,000,000 in 1947 to $892,000,000 in 1948),
obligations for medical, hospital, and domiciliary care
increase $70,000,000 while all other programs show a total
decrease of $16,000,000.
In general, the decrease in the programs other than for
hospital and medical care is due to a somewhat decreased
work load resulting from a lower number of veterans en-
tering the various programs for the first time, although the
average numbers of veterans included in the programs will
be, on the whole, liigher than in 1947. This is particularly
true in the claims program, which includes the handhng of
claims from veterans or their dependents for compensa-
tion, pensions, and insurance death benefits. While con-
siderable work will be necessary in connection with ex-
aminations and reratings of disabled veterans, the num-
bers of new claims will decline sharply.
Administrative expenses in connection with insurance
will rise somewhat due to the necessity of eliminating
backlogs of work still impeding fully satisfactory service
to veterans who are carrying National Service Life
Insurance.
The trends for the vocational rehabilitation and educa-
tion, loan guaranty, and readjustment allowance programs,
are discussed below in connection with the appropriation
"Readjustment benefits."
For the hospital and medical care program, it is antici-
pated that the average number of beds available in 150
hospitals and homes wUl be increased approximately 4,252
in 1948, bringing the average to 127,810 beds. These
facilities will be used to provide hospital and domiciliary
care for an estimated average patient and member load
of 104,172, an increase of 10,078 over the fiscal year 1947
estimate. In addition, an average patient and member
load of 24,072 will be cared for in other Government, State,
and private hospitals. The out-patient activities at field
stations will be expanded to take care of an estimated
8 million examinations and treatments and approximately
5}i million examinations and treatments will be provided
on a fee basis through the home-town medical care pro-
gram of the Administration. The special services pro-
gram will provide expanded recreational activities, a fidl-
time chaplain service, and improved library service.
Medical research activities in connection with the care
of veterans hospitalized in the agency's facdities wdl be
expanded and medical training and education authorized
under Pubhc Law 293, 79th Congress, will be provided.
The proposed new appropriation "Administrative facili-
ties" will provide for the construction of eight regional
office buildings in cities where it has been impossible to
locate adequate space by other means to give proper
service to veterans and their dependents.
A supplemental estimate of appropriation for "Army
and Navy pensions" in the amount of $432,407,000 is
necessary in the fiscal year 1947 due largely to legislation
enacted by the 79th Congress subsequent to the pres-
entation of the 1947 Budget. A particularly important
act was Public Law 662, which increased all compensation
and pension payments to veterans of both World Wars,
and their dependents, by 20 percent. The total numbers
on the compensation and pension rolls are as follows: June
EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND INDEPENDENT OFFICES
51
30, 1946 (actual), 2,082,056; June 30, 1947 (estimated),
2,860,934; and June 30, 1948 (estimated), 3,154,737.
The present outlook is that the fiscal year 1947 will be
the peak year for "Readjustment benefits", though this
is by no means certain. This appropriation covers three
principal benefits which were made available to veterans
under the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, as
amended: (1) unemployment and self-employment allow-
ances; (2) subsistence allowances (plus tuition, supplies,
and equipment) for veterans engaged in education and
training; and (3) the payment of the first year's interest,
and whatever losses may be incurred, on loans to veterans
guaranteed by the Veterans' Administration. The trend
in the first of these tlu'ee should definitely be dowTiward
after fiscal year 1947. The peak of this program, when
1,811,000 veterans were drawing unemployment allow-
ances and 332,000 were drawing self-employment allow-
ances, came in the summer of 1946. While there may be
temporary situations which wUl cause the number of
unemployed veterans to increase, only a major recession
could bring the numlier drawing such benefits back to or
above that peak. The estimated average number of
veterans in this program for 1948 is 925,000 compared to
an estimated average of 1,292,000 for 1947.
The number of veterans drawing subsistence allow-
ances while tliey are engaged in education and training
will increase, however, in 1948 above the 1947 level, judg-
ing from available evidence. Although the passage of
Public Law 679 of the 79th Congress seems to have slowed
down the extremely rapid mcreases which had occurred in
the number of veterans engaged in training on the job,
there will probably still be an appreciable increase in this
program. The number of students engaged in institu-
tional education will no doubt continue at close to the
maximum capacity of the institutions, which will be some-
what higher in 1948 than in 1947. The estimated aver-
age number of veterans in the education and training pro-
gram covered by tliis appropriation is 2,145,000 in 1948,
compared with an estimated average of 2,000,000 in 1947.
It is estimated tliat the number of loans to be guaranteed
in 1948 will be approximately 1,000,000, which represents
an average rate about 30 percent higher than the present
rate.
For these three programs combined it is estimated that
the total obUgations under the appropriation "Readjust-
ment benefits" will decrease somewliat in 1948 over 1947 —
from $3,630,295,941 to $3,424,580,000— as shown in the
detailed estimate of appropriation "Readjustment bene-
fits" shown on pages 151-152. This varies from the
summary table at the head of this chapter because of the
fact that appro.ximately $625,000,000 of the 1947 estimate
of $4,258,962,000 shown in the summary table was actually
obligated in 1946.
The construction program for 1948 under "Hospital and
domiciliary facilities" will provide 15 new hospitals with a
total capacity of 11,900 beds at an estimated cost of
approximately $215,000,000. Construction estimated to
cost appro.ximately $53,000,000 will also be undertaken in
connection with the expanded program for repair, altera-
tion, and renovation of existing facilities.
The veterans' canteen service was established under
the provisions of Public Law 636, 79th Congress, and the
estimate of $1,465,000 for 1948 will provide funds for the
installation of approximately 25 new canteens, bringing
the total m operation at hospitals and homes to 150 by the
end of fiscal year 1948.
The fiscal year 1948 will show a drastic reduction in
the Government's share of the cost of national ser\'ice
life insurance. The National Service Life Insurance Act
of 1940. as amended, provided that the Government
would bear all losses suffered as a result of the hazards of
war. Delays in the presentation of claims, and further
delays in then' award and in the process of determining if
the claims were due to war hazards, plus a revaluation of
previous transfers as authorized by the Insui-ance Act of
1940, will result in a cost of appro.ximately $975,000,000
in fiscal year 1947. The total cost to the Government for
war hazard insurance losses is now between $3,500,000,000
and $4,000,000,000. Only relatively minor additional
losses are e.xpected after the cm'rent fiscal year.
As mentioned above, a proposed new appropriation
"Veterans' miscellaneous benefits" will assume charges
for bm-ial awards, and for tuition, supplies, and equipment
for disabled veterans undertaldng training under the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act, such items being previously
charged to the "Salaries and expenses" appropriation.
The size of these items, and the fact that the agency has
no administrative control over the amounts, indicates the
desirability of handling them separately.
The geographical decentralization of the Administra-
tion, begun in fiscal year 1946, will be substantially com-
plete in fiscal year 1947, with all 13 branch offices on a
full operating basis beginning in January of 1947 . Further
refinements in the organizational plan may be ex])ected in
fiscal year 1948 to improve service to veterans and to
decrease administrative costs.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
Prior to 1939, the Federal agencies responsible for the
administration of social pro^-ams were widely scattered
as independent units throughout the Government. In
that year Reorganization Plan No. 1 established the
Federal Security Agency, bringing together under coordi-
nated direction a large number of these programs. Reor-
ganization Plan No. 2 of 1946, approved by Congress
July 16, 194G, has as its purpose further improvement in
the administration of social programs and the establish-
ment of uniform standards and procedures for grants-in-aid
programs.
The latter plan transferred to the Federal Security
Administrator the health and welfare functions of the
Children's Bureau and the vital statistics functions of the
Bureau of the Census, the latter to be performed through
the Public Health Service; abolished the United States
Employees' Compensation Commission, transferred its
functions to the Federal Security Administrator and
established a three-member board of appeals; abolished
the Social Security Board, vesting its functions in the
159
160
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Federal Security Administrator; and abolished the Office
of Assistant Commissioner of Education, vesting its func-
tions in the Commissioner of Education. It abolished
the Federal Board of Vocational Rehabilitation and the
Board of Visitors of Saint Elizabeths Hospital and all
their functions. It provided for consolidation of voca-
tional rehabilitation functions by transferring certain
activities for the blind from the Office of Education to the
Federal Security Administrator.
American Printing House for the Blind
The amount recommended for this institution located
at Louisville, Ky., has been appropriated annually since
1937. This entire amount is used for the manufacture of
Braille books, phonograph records, and Braille typewriters
for free distribution to schools for the blind throughout
the country. Financing of additional material produced
for the blind is provided for by sales.
Bureau of Employees' Compensation
The funds recommended in the estimate for "Salaries
and expenses" cover the operating expenses of the Bureau
of Employees' Compensation and the Employees' Compen-
sation Board of Appeals. These organizations, both within
the Federal Security Agency, are the successors to the
United States Employees' Compensation Commission, as
provided under Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946, ap-
proved by Congress on July 16, 1946. This plan provided
for the abolition of the Commission and the transfer of its
functions to the Federal Security Agency.
Under the reorganization, the Bureau of Employees'
Compensation adjudicates all matters under (1) the
Federal Employees' Compensation Act, approved Septem-
ber 7, 1916, which provides for payment of compensation
to Federal employees for injuries or death sustained in the
course of employment, (2) the Longshoremen's and Harbor
Workers' Act, approved March 4, 1927, and subsequently
amended, which provides for supervision by the Bureau of
compensation payments by insurance carriers to covered
workers for injury or death occurring upon the navigable
waters of the United States (including any drydock) if not
covered by a State law, which covers all private employ-
ment in the District of Columbia, and which covers em-
ployees of Government contractors engaged at military
bases outside the United States, (3) the act of December 2,
1942, as amended, providing compensation benefits to
employees of Government contractors and persons
engaged by the United States under personal service
contract outside continental United States, whose injury
or death results from war risk hazai'd, and accrual of
wages by any such employees held by the enemy or missing
or not returned to their homes because of failure of the
United States and its contractors to furnish transportation.
The Employees' Compensation Board of Appeals
handles appeals filed from adjudications made by the
Bureau of Employees' Compensation with respect to the
Federal Employees' Compensation Act, approved Septem-
ber 7, 1916.
The 1948 budget is based on (1) declining loads under
the Federal Employees' Compensation Act reflecting the
expected reduction in Federal emplojonent, (2) the antici-
pation that work loads under the Longshoremen's and
Harbor Workers' Compensation Act will show some de-
crease but will remain fairly heavy in connection with
formal and informal hearings; (3) sharply decreasing loads
arising out of the war-risk hazard program, and (4) the
completion of the accrued wage-payment program during
the fiscal year 1947. Of the net decrease of $3,127,000 for
the fiscal year 1948, the completion of the accrued wage-
payment progxam accounts for $2,600,000.
Columbia Institution for the Deaf
This institution provides instruction for deaf persons
below college level at Kendall School and in college sub-
jects at Gallaudet College. The District of Columbia
contributes to Kendall School for the^education of stu-
dents who are legal residents. Congress provides free
scholarships to Gallaudet College for qualified students
from the States and Territories. Little change in program
has been made in recent years or contemplated for 1948
pending the completion of a special survey being made by
Federal Security Agency.
Food and Drug Administration
Needed increase in this regulatory activity was deferred
during the war. The level of appropriations, approxi-
mately 6 percent higher for 1948, contemplates resump-
tion of this deferred expansion and provision for the many
problems that have developed in the interim. Rapid
deterioration in quality standards and in sanitary con-
ditions, and the revival and expansion of imports requir-
ing careful inspection have substantially increased the
burden of the Food and Drug Administration. For 1948,
the appropriations "Enforcement operations" and "Gen-
eral administration" have been combined for the sake of
simplification into a single appropriation, "Salaries and
expenses." The appropriation "Certification services" is
covered by fees deposited as miscellaneous receipts in the
Treasury. The appropriation "Sea food inspectors" is
the regular contribution made by the Federal Govern-
ment to the inspection service provided, upon request,
to packers of shrimp and oysters.
Freedmen's Hospital
This hospital renders medical and hospital care to
Negroes, drawing its patients principally from the Dis-
trict of Columbia and adjacent counties in Vii'ginia and
Maryland. It consists of a general medical and surgical
miit of 402 beds (includmg 54 bassmets), a tuberculosis
unit of 150 beds, and an out-patient department. The
hospital derives fmids from Federal appropriation and
from direct payment by patients. The Federal Govern-
ment is reimbiu-sed by the District of Columbia for the
care of uidigent legal residents of the District. The
increase in the amount of the Federal appropriation esti-
mate for 1948 is to meet increased costs resulting from
staffing and equipping the hospital as recommended by
the Public Health Service and the District Board of
Nm'se Examiners in a survey to determine requirements
for the first-class operation of an acute general com-
munity and teaching hospital, a tuberculosis unit, and
an approved school of nursing education. For 1948, the
Government's net share in the cost of operation will be
approximately 64 percent as compared with an estimated
57 percent for 1947. The estimates for the hospital are
based on 84 percent utilization of the general hospital
and 85 percent utilization of the tuberculosis annex.
Howard UNivERSiTy
Howard University receives funds from the Federal
Government for the partial support of undergraduate,
graduate, and speciaUzed training. Veterans have en-
rolled in the cui-rent year in such numbers as to crowd all
FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY
161
facilities to the limit, thereby necessitating a supple-
mental appropriation of $275,364 for 1947.
Two hunched and twenty-seven thousand one hundred
and seventy dollars is recommended for plans and specifi-
cations of five new bmldings.
To begin the construction of two new buildings,
$2,022,080 is recommended to be appropriated. In
addition, it is recommended the university be authorized
to contract for completion of these buildings at a total
cost not to exceed $4,109,755.
Office of Education
The Office of Education was created in 1867 to (1)
collect and publish statistics and facts to show the progress
of education in the States and Territories; (2) circulate
information regarding the organization and management
of schools and the methods of teachmg to aid in t'le main-
tenance of efficient State school systems; and (3) promote
education. In addition, this Office administers Federal
grants to the States for the promotion and support of
vocational schools and classes in agriculture, trade and
industry, distributive occupations, and home economics.
It also administers Federal grants to land-grant colleges
for work in the fields of agriculture, engineermg, tech-
nology, and home economics.
A food conservation program for which $1,337,000 was
appropriated in 1947 is to be discontmued in 1948.
For salaries and expenses an increase of $418,180 is
recommended to provide for a better distribution of per-
sonnel in the several divisions which deal with specialized
educational problems.
Although the Vocational Education Act of 1946 (Public
Law 586, 79th Cong.) increased the authorization of funds
for the further development of vocational education from
$14,483,000 to $29,301,739, no mcrease m appropriation is
recommended at this time. It is contemplated that in-
formation on the additional amounts which States and
local districts can make available for matching new Fed-
eral funds will be available before the end of fiscal 1947
and an amendment may be submitted at that time.
Office of Vocational Rehabilitation
The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation was estabhshed
on September 8, 1943, to carry out the expanded pro-
gram of vocational rehabiUtation authorized by the Voca-
tional RehabiUtation Act amendments of 1943. This act
provides for the promotion of vocational rehabihtation
of disabled persons and their placement in employment.
Payments are made to State agencies in accordance with
plans approved by the Federal Secm-ity Administrator.
State agencies provide medical, educational guidance, ancl
other services necessary to enable a disabled inchvidual to
obtain and hold a job. Payments to States for 1948 are
estimated at $19,710,000, an increase over estimated
appropriations for 1947 of $4,967,000. This will provide
for a continuation of the steady rise experienced over the
last several years in the number of cases served and the
types of service given by the State rehabihtation agencies.
Public Health Service
The activities of the Public Health Service may be
divided into four groups as follows: medical care. State-
aid programs, research, and related activities. Total 1948
financial requirements exceed those for 1947 by approxi-
mately 55 percent.
MEDICAL care
The Public Health Service operates marine hospitals,
narcotic hospitals, and relief stations, furnishes medical
services to the Coast Guard, and provides miscellaneous
services to other Federal agencies. The marine hospitals
and relief stations, operated by the Hospital Division,
render medical, dental, and hospital care to beneficiaries
of the Public Health Service as prescribed by law (42
U. S. C. ch. 6A). Principal beneficiaries are merchant
seamen and members of the United States Coast Guard.
In 1948 it is anticipated that the hospital patient load will
decrease approxhnately 3 percent due principally to
reduction in the estimated strength of the merchant
marine. A sanatorium is also operated for the care of
leprous persons. The Hospital Division also furnishes
professional personnel on a reimbursable basis for medical
progi-ams of other Federal agencies, such as the Office of
Indian Aflfairs and the Bureau of Employees' Compensa-
tion.
The Division of Mental Hygiene operates two hospitals
which provide care for drug addicts and other mental
patients and also furnishes clinical psychiatric services to
the Juvenile Court, District of Colmnbia. As provided
by Reorganization Plan No. 3, 1946, Anny and Navy
mental patients fonnerly cared for by Saint Elizabeths
Hospital became the responsibility of the War and Navy
Departments, respectively, and are being cared for in the
Mental Hygiene Division hospitals on a reimbursable
basis. The 1948 budget envisions httle change in the
patient loads of these two hospitals with a decrease in
the Navy patient-days being oft'set by an increase in the
addict patient load.
The 1948 budget includes an estimate for the first time
for the Public Health Service to carry out its responsi-
bilities under the act to provide for health programs for
Government employees (Public Law 658, 79th Cong.).
The estimate provides the persoimel for conducting sur-
veys and preparmg the Public Health Service recommen-
dations which are required by law before the Federal
agencies may establish preventive health programs for
their employees. Funds are also included for the oper-
ation of an employee health program for Public Health
Service employees located in the Washington, D. C,
metropolitan area. No funds have been included for
furnishing other Federal agencies with tuberculosis and
psychiatric examinations, health and nutrition instruction,
or in-service training of agency health personnel as it is
contemplated that such services will be furnished only on
a reimbursable basis. These services are provided in the
District of Columbia in 1947 without charge.
STATE-AID programs
State-aid programs to provide health services of various
kinds throughout the Nation, are carried out by means of
monetary grants-in-aid, grants of services, demonstrations,
considtative services, and training programs. These
activities also include direct operations by the Public
Health Service, with the approval and cooperation of
State and local authorities, against specific diseases,
including malaria, typhus, plague, diarrheal infections,
poliomyelitis, and others.
In line with the enactment of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U. S. C. ch. 6A) appropriations for the Bureau
of State Services, including control of venereal diseases,
control of tuberculosis, general assistance to States, and
162
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
control of communicable diseases, were substantially in-
creased in fiscal year 1947, compared witb funds previously
appropriated. The estimates for these programs for the
fiscal year 1948 will permit operations to be carried on at
approximately the same level as will be reached in the
current year under the increased funds which have been
made available. In addition, estimates appear in the
budget for the first time in 1948 to implement two im-
portant laws passed by the Seventy-ninth Congress — the
National Mental Health Act (Public Law 487) and the
Hospital Survey and Construction Act (Public Law 725).
For the National Mental Health Act, $3,000,000 is
the estimated requirement for the appropriation for gen-
eral assistance to States, with supplemental amounts for
consultative services, demonstrations, and aihniiiisf ration.
This requirement excludes approximately $2, 900, 000 for
mental health training and research, discussed below.
Funds are provided in fiscal year 1948 for carrying out
the provisions of the Hospital Survey and Construction
Act, approved August 13, 1946. The Public Health
Service has been designated as the administrative agency
to assist the several States through grants-in-aid to (1)
inventory existing hospitals and health facilities, (2) sur-
vey needs for the construction of additional facilities,
and (3) plan and complete such construction. To accom-
plish these purposes. Public Law 725 authorizes matched
grants consisting of one-third Federal funds and two-
thirds State and/or local funds.
RESEARCH
The Public Health Service promotes the development
of research in two ways: Tlu-ough research carried on by
the Public Health Service itself, mainly at the National
Institute of Health and the National Cancer Institute
(to which will be added, when facilities are constructed,
lihe National Institute of Mental Health); and through
research grants-in-aid to universities, scholars, and various
other recipients other than the Public Health Service.
Experience with Federal aid to research during the war
indicates that this is a higldy desirable channel for the
expenditure of Federal funds for this purpose. In 1948,
a total of $10,500,000 is recommended for research grants-
in-aid for the National Institute of Health, National
Cancer Institute, and for mental health activities, com-
pared with a little over $3,500,000 appropriated in 1947.
Funds for direct research operations of the National In-
stitute of Health, National Cancer Institute, and National
Institute of Mental Health total $6,200,000 in 1948, com-
pared with approximately $4,500,000 estimated to be
available in 1947. In connection with research activities,
the Public Health Service engages in the manufacture of
vaccines for certain diseases, particularly yellow fever,
typhus, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and in the
control of the manufacture and sale of viruses, serums,
toxins, and similar products.
RELATED ACTIVITIES
Related activities of the Public Health Service include
the foreign quarantine service, international health rela-
tions, sanitary engineering programs, public health
methods work, training activities, mcludmg training for
nurses and training of mental health personnel, National
Office of Vital Statistics, and other miscellaneous projects.
There is a major decrease m the funds requned in 1948
for nurses framing program since em-ollment in the cadet
nurse corps was terminated in October 1945. Payment of
stipends to cadet nurses will be vh-tually completed in
1948. Completion of the auditing of nm-sing-school
accomits will be the only major activity remaining after
fiscal year 1948.
The Sanitary Engineermg Division will terminate in
fiscal year 1947 survey work under the appropriation for
development of health facilities, permitting a reduction of
requirements for this Division.
The National Mental Health program cannot be fully
developed without additional qualified personnel. The
1948 estimate for mental health activities includes
$2,500,000 for grants for training such personnel.
Several programs in this head are provided for in the
a'jpropriation for salaries and expenses. Contraction of
studies by the Division of Public Health Methods will
re5ult m a slight decrease in funds for that division in
1948. The National Office of Vital Statistics was trans-
ferred from the Census Bureau to the Public Health
Service under Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946; its
activities in connection with more complete coverage of
mariiage and divorce registration figures and better
processing of records of birth and death make necessary
some increase in the expenses of this Office. Provision
has also been made in 1948 for an increased administra-
tive staff for the Public Health Service to eliminate serious
backlogs which hamper program operations and to keep
work current so that such backlogs will not again develop.
In accordance with increased responsibilities of the Public
Health Service, estimates for the pay of commissioned
officers include authorization for an increase in the size of
the regular corps.
Saint Elizabeths Hospital
This Government-operated institution renders medical
and hospital care to mental patients. The hospital is
reimbursed for patients received from the District of
Columbia, the Veterans' Administration, the Indian
Service, and the United States Soldiers' Home. Direct
beneficiaries, for whom no reimbursement is received, are
prmcipaUy patients composed of Federal criminals,
Amei'ican citizens adjudged insane in Canada, residents
of the Virgin Islands, and Foreign Service officers and em-
ployees. The total patient load in Saint Elizabeths Hos-
pital, estimated for 1948 to average 5,955 patients per
day, represents approximately the same load as that esti-
mated for the fiscal year 1947. Under Reorganization
Plan No. 3 responsibility for the care of Army and Navy
mental patients in Public Health Service hospitals was
transferred from Saint Elizabeths to the War and Navy
Departments, respectively. This plan reduced Saint
Elizabeths patients in Pubhc Health Service hospitals
from 944 average daily patients in 1946 to an estimate of
41 for 1948 with a corresponding reduction in appropriated
funds.
Social Security Administration
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946, approved by Con-
gress on July 16, 1946, abolished the Social Security Board
and transferred its functions, together with those of its
Chairman, to the Federal Security Administrator. The
Administrator was given the authority and duty to per-
form these functions or to direct and control their per-
formance through such officers and employees of the
Federal Security Agency as he should designate.
The Federal Security Administrator established the
Social Security Administration, headed by the Commis-
sioner for Social Security, to perform the social-security
FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY
163
functions formerly performed by the Social Security
Board and those functions of the Children's Bureau
transferred to the Agency imder the Keorganization Act.
The Social Security Administration administers the
several provisions of the Social Secuiity Act which give
protection to the individual against economic insecurity.
The Bureau of Pubhc Assistance, the Bureau of Employ-
ment Security, the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance, and the Children's Bureau constitute the main
program operating arms of the Administration. In
addition, the Bureau of Accounts and Audits, the Bureau
of Research and Statistics, and the Informational Service
provide service functions to the operating bureaus.
BUREAU OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
Under titles I, IV, and X of the Social Security Act,
Federal grants are made to States for old-age assistance,
aid to dependent children, and aid to the blind. Within
limitations established under the Social Security Act and
on the basis of plans approved by the Social Security
Administration, the Federal Government matches pay-
ments made by the States to needy individuals falling
within these categories and pays part of the cost of ad-
ministration of these programs. UntQ September 30,
1946, this matching was on a 50-50 basis. The 1946
amendments to the Social Security Act increased Federal
contributions to two-thirds of the first $15 paid monthly
to each recipient of old-age assistance and aid to the blind,
and two-thirds of the first $9 for each child under the aid
to dependent children program. These amendments also
raised the Federal matching maximum on monthly pay-
ments from $40 to $45 for old-age assistance and aid to
the blind and from $18 and $12 to $24 and $15 for the
first and each succeeding child, respectively, in each fam-
ily receiving aid to dependent children. These changes in
the Social Security account for a large part of the estimated
increase in cost of this program.
Increase in case loads and average payments also con-
tribute to the estimated increase in costs in 1948. During
the war period the trend in the number of recipients was
generally downward. Beginning in fiscal year 1946 the
trend was reversed ; a continued rise is developing in
fiscal year 1947 and is expected to continue through fiscal
year 1948. The average amount of payment to individ-
uals has been steadily increasing; this increase is also ex-
pected to continue through fiscal year 1948.
The increase provided for salaries of the Bureau of
Public Assistance will furnish the additional staff' required
to handle the increased work loads.
BUREAU OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY
The Bureau of Employment Security is that part of
the Social Security Admmistration responsible for ad-
ministering title 111 of the Social Security Act, which
provides for grants to States for unemployment com-
pensation administration, for discharging the Adminis-
tration's responsibility under the Federal Unemployment
Tax Act of the Internal Revenue Code, and for admmister-
ing title XIll of the Social Security Act, which relates to
reconversion unemployment benefits for seamen.
Unemployment compensation is a system of payments
for specified periods of time to unemployed workers wlio
are eligible to receive benefits. The unemployment
compensation program operates under State laws and
through State administrative systems which vary in
detail but meet mmimum standards established by the
Social. Security Act. Benefits are paid from the proceeds
of pay roll taxes collected by the States, deposited to
their separate accounts in the special imemployment trust
fund maintained in the United vStates Treasury, and
withdrawn as needed. Administrative costs of the State
systems are financed by Federal grants.
Unemployment benefit payments declined after the
first phase of reconversion unemployment was passed,
but leveled off at a somewhat higher level than was
anticipated, largely because of the more extensive cover-
age of workers and duration of benefits resulting from
changes in State unemployment compensation laws, and
because of the large wage credits built up m the period of
high and steady employment recently experienced.
Appropriation estimates for grants to States for 1948
total $57,586,000; in addition $994,000 is estimated for
the payment of Federal benefits to seamen employed on
Government-controlled ships prior to the coverage of
such workers under State unemployment compensation
laws.
BUREAU OF OLD-AGE AND SURVIVORS INSURANCE
This Bureau carries out a program of social insurance
designed to provide some replacement of lost earning
power to aged workers who retire, and to survivors of
workers who die.
Its principal activities are the recording of workers'
earnings, the handling of claims, and the payment of
benefits.
The number of workers qualifying for benefits under
the system increased rapidly during the war because of
the tremendous growth in employment of all classes and
ages of workers. This growth should continue although
at a slower rate during periods of high industrial activity.
Furthermore, many aged workers or survivors of deceased
workers who otherwise might have filed for benefits dur-
ing the war, but who for patriotic or economic reasons con-
tinued in emploj'ment, are expected in the next few years
to take advantage of their benefit rights. These various
factors will cause a material increase in the number of
claims filed and in the number of beneficiaries added to
the rolls as a result of which the operating costs of the
Bureau will be substantially increased for 1948.
By reason of amendments to the Railroad Retirement
Acts providing survivors' insurance for railroad workers,
modeled after the old-age and sm-vivors system and for
the joint use of wage data under both systems, the Bu-
reau wOl be required to make significant adjustments in
its present program. Amendments to title II of the
Social Security Act providing for servicemen's social
insurance, the costs of which are to be borne by the
Federal Government, will increase operating costs for the
period covered by this amendment. These legislative
changes \\t11 requii'e additional funds for 1948 of
$2,541,000.
Heretofore, the financial requirements for the Bureau
have been appropriated for each year and subsequently
reimbursed to the Treasury by the old-age and survivors
insurance trust fund. In 1947, the Congress authorized
the direct payment from the trust fund of the costs of
operatmg this Bureau. In order to bring together m a
single authorization the principal costs for personnel
services for this program, continuation of this authoriza-
tion has been recommended for 1948 with the inclusion of
certain other activities heretofore appropriated for and
subsequently reunbursed by the trust fund. The addi-
tional activities included for 1948 are the salary costs of
the office of the actuary, the appeals councU and the old-
age and survivoi-s insurance legal staff of the office of the
164

general counsel. Financial requirements of this bureau
to be paid from the trust fund are increasine; from $27,-
132,000 in 1947 to $30,219,000 for 1948. The adminis-
trative cost of the servicemen's social insurance ($762,000)
is pi"ovided for by dh-ect appropriation since this cost is
independent of the trust fund operation.
children's bureau
Under authority of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946,
the Children's Bureau, with all its functions except those
relating to the child laboi' provisions of the Fau- Labor
Standards Act, was transferred from the Department of
Labor to the Federal Security Agency and established as a
bm'eau m the Social Seciu'ity Administration.
The basic legislative charter gives the Bm-eau a mandate
to investigate and report to the Nation upon matters per-
taining to child life and the welfare of chikh'en. Activi-
ties mclude the conduct of research and the provision of
information and advisory services to Federal, State, and
private agencies, and to the public generally.
Title V of the Social Secm'ity Act, as amended in 1946,
authorizes appropriations totaling $22,000,000 annually
(compared with previous authorization of $11,200,000)
for grants to States for maternal and child health services,
services for crippled children, and child welfare services,
which are administered by the Children's Bui-eau.
The Bureau also administei's a program of grants to
States for emergency maternity and infant care for the
wives and infants of enlisted men in the lower four pay
grades m the armed forces. It is proposed to commence
liquidation of this activity at the begiuning of fiscal year
1948; an estimate is included for expenses necessary to
complete such liquidation.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES
The increases recommended in salaries for the consoli-
dated operations of the Administration provide princi-
pally for additional staff in regional offices, central admin-
istrative services, research and statistics, and accounts
and audits. Priucipal reasons for the increase are
additional work arising out of the 1946 amendments to
the Social Security Act and the anticipated increases
in the work loads of each of the constituent bureaus of the
Social Security Administration. The increase in the
single appropriation for miscellaneous expenses covering
the entire Administration is commensurate with these
increases.
Office of the Administrator
The Administrator's staff offices have been augmented
for the purpose of coordinating policy, standards, and
procedures among the Agency's various grants-m-aid pro-
grams and to coordinate the relationships of the Agency
with other Federal departments and agencies.
The requirements for salaries, Office of the Adminis-
trator, provide for comparatively small increases to per-
form the uicreased fimctions transferred to the Adminis-
trator in accordance with Reorganization Plan No. 2 of
1946.
Salaries, Office of General Counsel, reflects a reduction
below fiscal 1947 requu'ements, resulting from the pro-
posed payment in the 1948 fiscal year of the costs of legal
services to the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insur-
ance directly from the old-age and survivors trust fund.
Central appropriations for travel, printing and binding,
and penalty mail to provide for constituent units of the
Agency arc made to the Office of the Administrator. The
increased requirements in 1948 are due mainly to increased
personnel transferred to the Agency in accordance with
the Reorganization Act, new programs, and expansion of
existing programs.
Continued civilian war assistance requirements for 1948
result from the State Department's estimate that 15,500
American nationals and citizens will remain to be repatri-
ated as of June 30, 1947.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Federal Works Agency deals with public works not
incidental to the normal work of other executive estab-
lishments and administers Federal grants or loans to
State and local governments or to other agencies for the
planning and construction of public works.
Under the general supervision and coordination of the
Federal Works Administrator, the Federal Works Agency
handles public works through three constituent units,
viz, Public Buildings Administration, Public Roads
Administration, and Bureau of Community Facilities.
Estimates for the fiscal year 1948 reflect a transition of
public works programs from wartime to peacetime pro-
grams. The estimate of appropriation for 1948 is approxi-
mately $41,000,000 less than appropriations and estimated
supplementals for 1947.
OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR
The Office of the Administrator performs the general
supervision, policy direction, and coordination of the
administration of all of the activities of the Agency.
Provision is made for assisting the Administrator in the
performance of these objectives by a small technical staff
which covers each of the important programs and admin-
istrative functions at the staff level, and develops, estab-
lishes, and assures uniformity of policies and procedures
throughout the Agency. The estimate for 1948 does not
reflect any significant functional changes from 1947.
PUBLIC BtriLDINGS ADMINISTRATION
This constituent unit performs functions related to
Federal public buildings and sites in respect to design and
construction; lease, purchase, and custody; survey,
plamiing, and control of space; repair, preservation, main-
tenance, and management; communication services (for
various Government agencies); and the administration of
surplus real property.
With the cessation of hostilities, the Public Buildings
Administration took immediate steps to terminate its
war-related activities. Security guarding and other
emergency safeguarding activities were terminated and all
financial transactions completed. The remaining bal-
ances of funds available for the construction of temporary
and general office buildings, other than nominal amoimts
228
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
required for settlements, were either rescinded or reap-
propriated for regidar building activities. The act of
June 14, 1946 (Public Law 413), which authorizes the
expenditure of available fimds for the design of new
pubUc building projects, enabled the Administration to
initiate preparatory steps for the resumption of its normal
building program.
Section 5 of this act authorizes the Commissioner of
Pubhc Buildings to maintain a survey of the use of
certain Govcrnment-ovviied and leased office space in the
larger metropohtan centers and the District of Columbia
and to study and determine the extent to which con-
solidation, reassignment, and reallocation of office space
would be advantageous to the Government. The Com-
missioner is also authorized to direct and prescribe the
economical use or the surrender of space found to be
uncconomically used in buildings operated by the Public
Buildings Administration.
The appropriation for general administrative expenses
provides the minimum nucleus personnel for administra-
tion of the functions summarized in the first paragraph.
The increase in the estimate for 1948 will be required to
cover the cost of within-grade salary advancements.
The appropriation for repair, preservation, and equip-
ment of public buildings outside the District of Colum-
bia, involving some 5,000 buildings, provides for normal
major items of alteration and repaii' necessary to keep
buildings in usable and efficient operating concUtion and
for accomplishing a portion of the extensive baclclog of '
building maintenance which was deferred because of the
war.
The appropriation for salaries and expenses for public
bidldings and grounds in the District of Columbia and
adjacent area provides for the administration, manage-
ment, operation, maintenance, protection, and improve-
ment of pubUc buildings and grounds in the District and
the area adjacent thereto. The operation uicludes both
government-owned and leased buildings and also provides
for the administration and operation of communications
facihties for use of other government activities. The
estimate contemplates the management of approximately
45, 000, COO square feet of space. The program involves
the release of 1,500,000 square feet of space during fiscal
year 1948.
The appropriation for salaries and expenses for pubUc
buildings and grounds outside the District of Columbia,
provides for the admuaistration, management, operation,
maintenance, and protection of public buildings and
grounds outside the District. The operation includes
both Government-owTied and leased buildings and, in
addition, provides for the administration and operation of
communications facihties and space and related service
activities serving other governmental agencies. The
estimate contemplates the release of 776,000 square feet
of space leased under the decentraUzation program of
1942-43 and the management and operation of approxi-
mately 6,000,000 square feet of additional space pri-
marily for the expanded program of the Veterans' Admin-
istration. The program for 1948 contemplates the
management of approximately 26,500,000 square feet of
space.
An estimate is included for continmng the program for
the return of departmental functions to the seat of
government. These functions were decentralized outside
the District of Columbia early in the war period to provide
space for newly estabUshed war agencies and for expan-
sion of the War and Navy Departments.
Section 2 of the above-mentioned act increases the
limit of cost for the site and building for the west central
heating plant in Washington, D. C, for which an estimate
is included for the remaining una])propriated authoriza-
tion in order to complete the plant on which work was
begun pi'ior to the war but halted due to the emergency.
The only other construction estimates provided for 1948
are a proposed hospital center in the District of Columbia,
the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md.,
and the estabhshment of a geophysical institute in Alaska.
PUBLIC ROADS ADMINISTRATION
This constituent unit, in cooperation with the highway
departments of the States, the District of Columbia,
Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, is responsible for the approval
and development of highway systems and for the approval
and supervision of an annual program of construction
designed to develop and improve such systems. With
the cessation of hostilities, all wartime restrictions and
limitations affecting highway construction were removed,
but in view of liigh contract prices a very conservative
policy in approving new construction has been followed.
Federal-aid highway construction is being restricted to
most urgently needed work, with particular attention to
highway safety.
Estimates of appropriations for the Federal-aid high-
way programs supervised by the Public Roads Adminis-
tration represent cash required to liquidate obligations
incurred under the authority of previously approved con-
tract authorizations. The estimates of appropriations
represent the remainder of the unappropriated authori-
zations for the prewar highway authorizations — Federal-
aid highway system and Federal-aid secondary or feeder
roads. Of the prewar authorizations, only the appropria-
tion item, elimination of grade crossings, would remain
for additional appropriation requests beyond June 30,
1948. The Budget estimate includes $18,288,854 for
anticipated cash requirements under prewar highway
authorizations, of which $5,288,854 is reimbursement to
the Federal-aid highway system appropriation for pay-
ments made on flood-relief projects.
The Federal-aid program which is being undertaken in
the reconversion period following World W^ar II is being
financed largely from funds authorized by the Federal
Aid Highway Act of 1944. This act authorizes for appro-
priation the sum of $500,000,000 annually for each of the
three successive postwar fiscal years. By House Concur-
rent Resolution 81, approved by the Congress October 2,
1945, the fiscal year 1946 was designated to be the first
postwar fiscal year. The apportionment of the authori-
zation of $500,000,000 to the States for the first postwar
fiscal year was made January 6, 1945, and the apportion-
ment of a like amoimt for the second postwar fiscal year
(fiscal year 1947) was made May 13, 1946. The authori-
zation for each of the three fiscal years is apportioned
among the States for three classes of highways, as follows:
(1) $225,000,000 for projects on the Federal-aid high-
way system.
(2) $150,000,000 for projects on a designated system of
secondary and feeder roads including farm-to-market
roads, rural free delivery mail, and public-school bus
routes.
FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY
229
(3) $125,000,000 for projects on the Federal-aid high-
way system in urban areas.
The estimate of $279,000,000 provides for the antici-
pated cash requirements for the fiscal year 1948.
The active Federal-aid program, as of November 1,
1946, provides for the improvement of 16,770 miles of
highway, the construction of 133 highway-railroad grade
separations, and the protection of 267 highway-railway
crossings. The estimated total cost of this work is
$700,614,000, of which $356,970,000 is the Federal share.
Of the total Federal funds involved, $112,736,000 repre-
sents allotments from prewar highway authorizations and
$244,234,000 from funds authorized by the Federal Aid
Highway Act of 1944.
The estimate of $3,000,000 included in the Budget for
public-lands highways represents the unappropriated
balance of this authorization. This appropriation pro-
vides for the survey, construction, and maintenance of
main roads through public lands. These funds are appor-
tioned among those States in which the area of certain
public lands is 5 percent or more of the total area.
In addition to the Federal-aid highway program, high-
way activities of the Public Roads Administration include
cooperation with other Federal agencies in the construc-
tion of main roads in national forests and in and to the
national parks, cooperation with the Central American
republics in the construction of the Inter-American High-
way, cooperation with the State Department and Philip-
pine Republic in the rehabilitation and restoration of high-
ways in the Philippines, and the repair and reconstruction
of highways in Hawaii damaged or destroyed by the seis-
mic waves of April 1946 or in the prosecution of the war.
BURE.\U OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES
This constituent unit administers programs assigned to
the Agency in the field of public works which are not under
the jurisdiction of the otlier two constituent units.
Currently assigned to this organization are the comple-
tion and settlement of the affairs of the war related com-
munity facilities program, including maintenance and
disposal of over 1,000 Federal properties constructed
or acquired under that program; assistance, until June
30, 1947, in the maintenance and operation of certain
school facilities; advances of Federal funds to non-Federal
public bodies to encourage them to prepare drawings
and specifications for locally financed public works, such
advances being repayable at start of construction; con-
struction of public works in the Virgin Islands under an
authorized 5-year program; provision of educational facili-
ties, other than housing, from Federal surpluses, to assist
universities and colleges furnishing courses of training
or education to veterans; and grants for the restoration
of public works in the Territory of Hawaii which were
damaged by the seismic waves of April 1946.
The estimates included m this budget provide the
amount authorized for the fiscal year 1948 for the Virgin
Islands public works program as well as the unappro-
priated balance of the fiscal year 1947 authorization, and,
funds for the continuation of the liquidation of the war
related community facilities program. The estimate for
Virgin Islands public works included in this Budget
together with appropriations heretofore made provide for
approximately half of the $10,028,420 program authorized
for this purpose.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Agricultm-e is charged with the
responsibility of carrying on agricultural activities and
programs concerned with riu-al people and with produc-
tion, processing, and disti-ibution of food and fiber in the
United States and its possessions, and for the relationship
of such activities and programs to those of other coun-
tries. . It is directed by law to acquire and diffuse useful
information on agricultm-al subjects in the most general
and comprehensive sense.
The functions performed relate to conservation, mar-
keting, credit, regulatory work, and research. The
Department seeks to eradicate or control insects and
diseases affecting plants and animals. It administers
regulatory laws enacted to protect food and fiber pro-
ducers, processors, and consumers. It promotes the
proper use of soil and forest resom'ces; conducts agricul-
tural research, the results of which are made available for
practical farm application through extension and experi-
ment station work in cooperation with the States; and
provides agricultural credit, assists tenants to become
farm owners, and facilitates the extension of electric
service to rural areas.
THE 1948 BUDGET
Under general and special accounts, the Budget esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1948, excluding reappropriations,
show a net increase in direct appropriations of approxi-
mately $200,000,000. Of the increases which are included
in this amount, however, $145,000,000 is accounted for by
reason of the substitution of direct appropriations for
borrowings from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
and $20,000,000 is brought about by the substitution of
this amount of direct appropriation for crop production
and harvesting loans, in lieu of the financing of these loans
chiefly from collections of principal and interest. The
remaining $35,000,000 includes the sum of $15,000,000 to
establish a farm tenancy mortgage insurance fund and
$19,000,000 to initiate the program authorized by the
Research and Marketing Act of 1946.
Including reappropriations and the funds authorized to
be borrowed from the Reconstruction Finance Corpora-
tion, the 1948 Budget, under general and special accounts,
provides about $1,169,000,000 as compared with $1,248,-
000,000 for 1947, a reduction of $79,000,000.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICE
Included under this head are the offices of the Secretary,
Solicitor, Information, and Foreign Agricultural Relations,
the Department library, and the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. The 1948 estimates indicate an increase of
slightly over $1,000,000, most of which is to cover in-
creased costs of the Department for penalty mail and
printing and binding. Small increases have been pro-
vided for the Department's health program, for acquisi-
tion of material for the library, and to cover increased
costs of the OflRce of Plant and Operations and the distri-
bution of bulletins and gi'iieial information to farmers, the
general public, and Alombers of Congress.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
259
EXTENSION SERVICE
Extension work is cooperative in that the Department
and the land-grant colleges in the 48 States, Alaska,
Hawaii, and Puerto Rico agree on extension plans of work
under which beyond-the-classroom educational programs
are carried on in rural communities. Federal funds are
approximately matched by State, Territory, and local
funds. Recognizing the serious economic and social prob-
lems of the rural people of Puerto Rico, an increase in pay-
ments for extension work has been provided, the total
amount for Puerto Rico still being below the amount
authorized by the Congress.
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION
The Agricultural Research Administration comprises the
offices of the Administrator and Experiment Stations and
the Bureaus of Animal Industry; Dairy Industry; Plant
Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering; Entomology
and Plant Quarantine; Agricidtural and Industrial Chem-
istry; and Human Nutrition and Home Economics. The
Administration is responsible for the general planning and
coordination of research and regulatory activities of all of
the agencies in the Administration, administers the Special
Research Fund, and will conduct research on strategic and
critical agricultural materials under Public Law 520,
Seventy-ninth Congress. Taking into account reappro-
priations, increases totalmg about $2,750,000 are provided
for 1948. Increases provide for such items as mainte-
nance of improvements deferred because of the war,
replacement of worn-out equipment, strengthening of for-
eign plant quarantine work and meat inspection, and for
development of the National Arboretum.
WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST CONTROL
The approximately 15 million acres of valuable five-
leafed pine forests of the United States are susceptible to
blister rust attack, a destructive fungus disease of foreign
origin which spends part of its life cycle on currants and
gooseberries. The control program provides for the
destruction of these host plants in and adjacent to the
white pine forests. The amount provided for 1948 is
$2,000,000 below the 1947 appropriation, but is still
almost one-thu'd larger than the 1946 appropriation.
FOREST SERVICE
The Forest Service is charged with the responsibility for
promoting the conservation and best use of the national
forests and privately owned forest lands, aggregating
approximately a third of the total land area of the United
States. Protection of the national forests from fire,
insects, and diseases; management of their resources;
forest research; and the establishment and maintenance
of forest roads and trails are among the activities for
which funds are provided. No material change in the
level of operations is contemplated in 1948.
FLOOD CONTROL
This program consists of upstream work in the retarda-
tion of run-off and waterflow and the prevention of soil
erosion to mitigate downstream flood damage on water-
sheds specifically approved by the Congress. The appro-
priation proposed for 1948, together with balances of prior
years, provides for a level of operations about $1,000,000
below the cmTent year.
SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE
The basic purpose of the Soil Conservation Service is to
aid in bringing about physical adjustments in land use
that will better human welfare, conserve the soil, establish
a permanent and balanced agriculture, and reduce the
hazards of floods and sedimentation. This purpose is
served by the development of a well-rounded, coordinated
program of soil and water conservation and land use
involving the planning of individual farms, group facihties
for the use and disposal of water as it affects the land,
work with State-created soil conservation districts, and
the apphcation of the best known conservation practices
and treatments on the different kinds of land in accordance
with their needs and capabihties as showTi by detailed land
classification surveys. In cooperation with State agri-
cultural experiment stations, Federal research agencies,
and interested organizations and citizens, the Service
conducts a practical research program designed to develop,
refine, and improve soil and water conservation practices
for use m its field operations.
Approximately 7 milhon acres of submarginal land in 33
States, basically unsuitable for cultivation, are owned by
the Government and managed by the Service. These
lands are improved primarily for grazing and forestry and
leased to farmers and ranchers for uses consistent with the
conservation and restoration of the land resources.
Additional funds are provided in 1948 for the operation
of newly organized soil conservation districts, offset by a
reduction in tlie amount provided for the purchase of
surplus war equipment for district operations. An in-
crease of $1,700,000 is provided for the rehabilitation and
repair of certain dams on the submarginal land projects in
the interest of protecting life and property.
Unexpended balances for the water conservation and
utilization program will provide for a continuation in 1948
of this activity at the current level without additional
funds.
PRODUCTION AND MARKETING ADMINISTRATION
Included under this head are the annual appropriations
for conservation and use of agricultural land resources
(the AAA program), the Sugar Act, the national school
lunch program, marketing service activities, and supply
and distribution of farm labor; and the permanent
appropriation for exportation and domestic consumption
of agricultural commodities (s^. 32).
In addition to a direct appropriation, the conservation
and use program is financed in 1947 by a reappropriation
of $42,500,000 from prior year section 32 funds, and in
1948 provision is made for a transfer in the amount of
$100,000,000 from section 32 funds. This transfer
provision, together with the elimination of $12,500,000 for
grass and legume seed payments, accounts for a reduction
m the direct appropriation for 1948 of $70,000,000. An
increase of $1,500,000 under the Sugar Act is provided for
additional payments as a result of an estimated increase
in sugar production.
The school lunch program is provided for at the same
level in 1948 but is to be financed by a direct appropria-
tion, whereas currently and heretofore section 32 funds
have been used. Several nominal increases are provided
for marketing service activities, but they are more than
offset by a reduction in the marketing-farm-products item.
No estimate is provided for the farm labor program,
inasmuch as the authorizing act expu-es on June 30, 1947.
260
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION
The Farmers' Home Administration, created by the
act of August 14, 1946, is charged with the continuation
of the rehabilitation and farm tenancy progi-ams hereto-
fore carried out by the Farm Security Administration,
which was aboHshed by the act, and the operation of the
crop and feed loan program transferred from the Farm
Credit Administration. In addition, the act creating the
Fanners' Home Administration authorized a program for
insuring mortgages for farm ownership loans, and the
establishment of a mortgage msurance fund of $25,000,-
000. An initial appropriation for this insurance fund of
$15,000,000 for 1948 is recommended. Funds for the
new Administration are provided for by a du'ect appro-
priation in accordance with said act, whereas loan funds
for the Farm Security Administration were provided by
advances by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
while crop and feed loans were financed principally from
collections. Provision is made for carrying on these pro-
grams in 1948 at about the current level, but with a
reduction of about $4,400,000 in administrative expenses.
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION ADMINISTRATION
The Rural Electrification Administration finances and
supervises self-Jiquidating loans for constructing rural
electric facilities to serve rural people who do not have
central station electric service. For the most part, these
loans are made to local cooperatives organized to furnish
the service. The same amount of loan funds are provided
for 1948, a part of which funds, however, will be provided
by a direct appropriation in 1948 whereas all the 1947
loan funds are being advanced from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION
The Farm Credit Administration conducts a national
program of agricultiual credit. The program is adminis-
tered tlu-ough a central group known as the "Adminis-
tration," which supervises and coordinates the activities
of (1) the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, 12 Federal
intermediate credit banks, 12 production credit corpora-
tions, and the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation,
all of which are wholly owned Government corporations;
(2) 12 Federal land banks; (3) 12 district banks for coop-
eratives and the Central Bank for Cooperatives; (4) the
joint stock land banks; and (5) a du'ect lending activity
under the Agricultural Marketing Act revolving fund.
Crop and feed loan activities have been transferred to
the new Farmers' Home Administration. No important
changes in these credit activities are contemplated for
1948.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Department of Commerce carries on a broad range
of Federal functions, including services for aviation, aids
to business and industry, and technical services for other
governmental agencies and the general public. In terms
of costs the various programs for civil aviation represent
the major portion of the Department's annual budget.
Approximately 56 percent of the recommended appropria-
tions for the fiscal year 1948 is for the establishment,
maintenance, and operation of facilities to insure maximum
safety in commercial and private flying. Aids to business,
including the collection and dissemination of economic
data, represent 17 percent of .the 1948 estimates for the
Department and technical services for other governmental
agencies and the general public account for 25 percent.
The remainder of the total estimate is for over-all adminis-
trative costs. In comparison with 1947 the estimate for
1948, excluding the Federal-aid airport program for which
an estimate will be submitted upon completion of the
National Airport plan, contemplates an increase of 28
percent.
The Department consists of the following bureaus and
of&ces, discussed separately hereafter in the same order:
Office of the Secretaiy, Bureau of the Census, Civil Aero-
nautics Administration, CivU Aeronautics Board, Coast
and Geodetic Survey, Bm-eau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Patent Office, National Bureau of Standards,
and Weather Bureau.
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
The Office of the Secretary furnishes over-aU supervision
for the Department, developing coordinated programs,
admmistrative procedures, and budgetary policies. In-
formation, personnel, finance, and central office service
functions are performed in this Office. An Office of Tech-
nical Services procures and dissemmates technical uifor-
mation applicable to industrial processes, developed dur-
ing the war in the United States and enemy countries.
No marked increase over the 1947 level of these activities
is provided for.
BUREAU OF THE CENSUS
Collection, tabulation, and publication of statistics on
agriculture, foreign trade. State and local governments,
business, industry, population characteristics, and labor
force comprise the main aspects of the Bmeau of the
Census' regularly recm-ring program. The major item of
increase in the 1948 estimates is a census of manufactures,
required by statute to be taken every 2 years, but actually
not taken since 1939, due to the war. A census of elec-
trical mdustries, required by statute every 5 years, is also
mcluded, and provision is made for preparatory work on
the seventeenth decennial census, to be taken in 1950.
CIVIL AERONAUTICS ADMINISTRATION
The Civil Aeronautics Administration is charged with
the promotion and development of civil aviation, includ-
3S1

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
ing the operation of the Federal airways system and the
enforcement of air safety regulations as promulgated by
the Civil Aeronautics Board. These responsibilities,
already having become major governmental activities,
are rapidly increasmg in size and scope under the im-
petus of an expanding aviation industry. This expan-
sion is reflected not only in the growth in volume of air
traffic over new and existing domestic and international
air routes, but also in the postwar acceleration of personal
flying and nonscheduled air carrier operation.
The system of air navigational aids operated for the
safety and eflBciency of both domestic and international
air traffic must not only be expanded to encompass new
routes, but will also requu'e modernization to meet the
operational needs of the constantly increasing traffic
volume over the system. In order to further insm-e
safety of operation over the expanding domestic and
Alaskan airway systems, which will increase from an
average of 46,750'miles in 1947 to 49,560 miles in the
fiscal year 194S, further attention must be given to the
control of air traffic. The more immediate need is the
installation of instrument landing systems at a larger
number of terminal airports and addition of improved
facilities, now available through developments in the field
of radar technology, at major airports where traffic has
become so heavy that present facilities are inadequate.
Air safety, a major responsibility of the Civil Aero-
nautics Administration, touches upon all phases of avia-
tion and, consequently, the enforcement of safety regu-
lations is influenced directly by developments withm the
industry. The Administration is, as rapidly as is com.pat-
ible with the maintenance of its standards of air safety,
delegating to private enterprise an appreciable volume of
its inspectional work thi-ough a "designee program."
However, the rapid upward trend in commercial air
traffic, both scheduled and nonscheduled, as well as the
increase in the number of registered aircraft which is
expected to grow from 57,000 in 1946 to 117,000 in 1947
and reach 171,000 airplanes in 1948 will make it necessary
for the Administration to expand its safety regulation
work. This responsibility is further complicated through
the complexity of the safety inspection work developing
in consequence of the technological advances in the size
and design of modern aircraft, and the recent requirement
for the certification of nonscheduled air carriers.
In addition to the foregoing, the Administration engages
in a variety of developmental and service activities
associated with the promotion of civil aviation. Among
these are the airport advisory service; a program main-
tained for the testing and development of air-safety and
air-navigation facilities; and the operation of the Wash-
ington National Airport.
An increase of 31 percent is required for the regular
operating programs of the agency. These programs
include the operation of the Federal airway system, en-
forcement of safety regulations, and associated activities.
The appropriation for establishment of air navigation
facilities reflects an increase of 28 percent to provide for
the installation of new air navigation aids and the im-
provement autl modernization of existing facilities. The
detailed estimates do not include a recommendation for
the Federal-aid airport program. An estimate for this
item will be submitted following completion of the Na-
tional Airport plan. Exclusive of this item, the result of
the foregoing increases is a total increase of 30 percent in
the regular programs of the Administration over estimated
1947 appropriations.
CIVIL AERONAUTICS BO.\KD
The Civil Aeronautics Board functions as an inde-
pendent agency, although for the purposes of "adminis-
trative housekeeping" the Board is within the framework
of the Department of Commerce. The Board lias broad
authority in the regulation of economic aspects of domestic
and international United States air carrier operations,
promulgation of safety standards and civil air regulations,
and investigation and analysis of civil aircraft accidents.
Rapid developments in the field of aviation and the
role of the United States in the International Civil
Aviation Organization have placed tremendous new bur-
dens on the Board. The Board has an important role
in determining the future of the United States carriers in
domestic and international aviation. Decisions of the
Board materially affect operations of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, such as implementing Federal airways
and enforcing air safety regulations, and the mail rate
payments by the Post Office.
Xt present the Board has the heaviest backlog of work
in its history. This backlog is mcreasing constantly and
will continue to increase throughout fiscal year 1947 in
spite of the increased personnel pi-ovided for this period.
The 1948 estimates reflect an increase of 33 percent
over estimated 1947 appropriations. This provides for
a general strengthening of the Board's staff particularly
in the safety and economic fields.
COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY
Coastal surveys for navigational charts and geodetic
control surveys to establish in contmental United States
a network of reference points basic to topographic map-
ping are the two principal features of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey's program. Increases requested in 1948
reflect the reactivation of hydrographic survey operations
at their prewar level, and the need for geographic data in
various regions of the United States as an aid to planning
major postwar public works projects such as reclamation,
hydroelectric development, and highway construction.
Increases m operating costs rather than an expansion in
program accomit for the major part of the increase in the
estimates for 1948.
BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce pre-
pares analyses of national economic trends, studies pro-
duction and marketing data for major commodities in the
United States and abroad, and supplies management
advisory services especially oriented to the needs of small
business. Seventy-five field offices in important commer-
cial and industrial cities aid in making this information
available to the public, and in keeping abreast of the
changing needs of the business community for Department
of Commerce services. A moderate expansion is provided
to enable the Bureau's activities to keep pace with the
general expansion of business activity and to carry the
work load occasioned by the analysis of additional eco-
nomic statistics and by the assumption of new responsi-
bilities in the field of international trade policy. The
budget for the Field Office Service will permit its contin-
uance throughout fiscal 1948 at the level of activity to be
reached by July 1947.
PATENT OFFICE
A continually increasing backlog of patent applications
is being met by the proposal to expand patent operations
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
383
as far as the limitations of trained examining personnel
and adequate office space will permit. The budget
contemplates continuing throughout fiscal 1948 the level
reached by July 1947, augmented by sufficient personnel
to administer the newly enacted Trade Mark Act. The
existing system of fees makes the Patent Office largely
self-supporting and a revised schedule of fees to be
submitted to the Eightieth Congress is calculated to
make it entirely so.
NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS
Basic research and testing in such fields as radio propa-
gation, metallurgy, housing construction, thermodynamics,
hydraulics, and electronics are emphasized in the Bureau
of Standards program for 1948. Development of stand-
ard specifications and techniques, discovery of materials
and processes of possible value in industry, and scientific
evaluation of existing industrial products are among the
activities undertaken in the aforementioned fields. The
principal increases reflected in the 1948 estimates are for
radio propagation studies planned to assure the efficiency
of radio communications, both military and commercial,
and to aid in the allocation of frequency bands; for the
purchase, housing, and operation of two betatrons to be
used in medical and industrial research; and for a modern-
ization of the Bureau's electrical system. A general
expansion to gear the Federal research program with
increased industrial research activities is contemplated.
WEATHER BUREAU
The Weather Bureau operates the basic national
system of meteorological observation stations for the
United States and its territories, collects and analyzes
observations, prepares weather and flood forecasts and
warnings, bulletins, and climatological summaries for
other Government agencies and private interests, par-
ticularly aviation, rail and water-borne shipping, and
agriculture.
Du-ect services for aviation account for slightly more
than half of the proposed expansion for the fiscal year
1948. The rem.amder of the increase provides for an
extension of the flood warning service and a slight
strengthening of the general weather services.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Comparative Summary of Appropriations and Appropriation Estimates
[Appropriations for 1947 did not make provision for certain legislation enacted in the latter part of the last regular session, nor for certain unforeseen costs arising since that time due
to circumstances virtually beyond administrative control. To the extent that such expenses cannot be absorbed within presently available funds, supplemental appropriations
will be required. The latest estimates of amounts so required are shown in the detail schedules for the various appropriation titles and in a separate column of the table below)

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Department of the Interior is concerned principally
with promoting the domestic welfare and administering
the conservation of natural resources. The following are
the principal constituent units of the Department:
Bureau of Land Management
Bureau of Indian Affairs
Bureau of Reclamation
Geological Survey
Bureau of Mines
National Park Service
Fish and Wildlife Service
In addition, the Department has supervision over the
Bonneville Power Administration, responsible for the
widest possible use of electric energy generated at the
Bonneville (War Department) and Grand Coulee (Recla-
mation) Dams; the Southwestern Power Administration;
and the Division of Territories and Island Possessions,
which supervises activities in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
The estimates of appropriation from general and special
accounts for the Department of the Interior proposed for
1948 are $314,281,220 as compared mth estimated appro-
priations of $278,811,967 for 1947, an increase of $35,-
469,253. Estimates for the Bureau of Reclamation,
$151,432,200, Bonneville Power Administration, $20,-
278,000, and Southwestern Power Administration, $2,-
725,000, account for $174,435,200, leaving $139,846,020
for all other activities of the Department. In addition,
the estimates for the Bonneville Power Administration
and the Alaska Railroad carry contractual authoritv for
$6,000,000 and $15,000,000, respectively.
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
Appropriations imder this head finance the Office of the
Secretary and his general staff, the Office of the Solicitor,
the Divisions of Territories and Island Possessions, Oil
and Gas, and Geographj^, and certain administrative divi-
sions that serve all bureaus of the Department. Under
this head are also included funds for soil and moisture
conservation operations on public and Indian lands, for
the contingent expenses of the Department, and for meet-
ing the costs of penalty mail.
The annual appropriations recommended for these ac-
tivities total $6,286,500. An increase of approximately
$1,500,000 is recommended for soil and moisture conserva-
tion operations which were held to a minimum during the
war period. Except for the immediate Office of the Secre-
tary, where some additional personnel is provided for,
other increases are limited generally to amounts for
within-grade promotions and for full-time employment in
positions provided for in 1947 on a part-year basis.
COMMISSION OF FINE ARTS
The Commission of Fine Arts renders advice to Con-
gress and the executive agencies of the Government on
fine arts matters in the fields of architecture, sculpture,
painting, and landscape architecture. The appropriation
of $12,000 recommended for 1948 includes small increases
to cover within-grade promotions and employment of
temporary clerical help.
BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION
This Administration was created by the Bonneville
Project Act of 1937 for the purpose of transmitting and
marketing surplus power generated at the Bonneville Dam,
Oregon, which was completed in December 1943. By
Executive Order 8526, dated August 26, 1940, the Admin-
istration was given the responsibility for marketing the
power generated at Grand Coulee Dam. By departmental
order the Administration was designated the marketing
agent for power to be generated at the Hungry Horse
Dam project in Montana, the Willamette Basin project in
Oregon, and the Foster Creek project in Washington. In
addition, Public Law 14, Seventy-ninth Congress provides
that power to be generated at the McNary Dam project and
at the Snake River navigation and power project shall be
marketed by the Secretary of the Interior, in accordance
with existing laws covering the disposition of power gen-
erated at the Bonneville Dam.
The Administration constructs, maintains, and operates
electric transmission lines, substations and other facilities
and structures for transmitting electric energy for sale to
existing and potential markets, for the exchange of electric
energy, and for the interconnection of the Federal projects
with other systems now or hereafter constructed.
Gross revenues of the Administration from the sale of
electric energy during fiscal year 1946 were $21,546,634.
During fiscal year 1947, on the basis of present condi-
tions, it is estimated that revenues will be approximately
$20,252,000. The revenues for fiscal year 1948 are esti-
mated at $23,575,000.
The present transmission system consists of 2,846 cir-
cuit miles of transmission lines, ranging upward to 230,000
volts, and 64 substations. Extensions and additions to
be completed during the fiscal year 1947 will increase the
number of circuit mUes to 3,276 and the number of sub-
stations to 74. Completion of the 1948 program will
result in energization of 3,528 circuit miles and in operation
of 80 substations. Estimates for the construction program
in fiscal year 1948 total $15,578,000. In addition, the
Budget provides for contract authorization not in excess
of $6,000,000 for materials and equipment to be dehvered
in fiscal year 1949 for construction of facilities scheduled
in that "year. For operation and maintenance of the
electric system and appurtenant facilities, and for the
marketing of power, it is estimated that $4,700,000 will
be required.
SOLID FUELS ADMINISTRATION FOR WAR
This Administration was created by Executive order on
April 19, 1943, to coordinate Government policies and
activities pertaining to solid fuels. Continued interrup-
tions in coal production combined with low consumer
stocks required the continuance of this agency. The 1947
appropriation of $2,950,000 contemplated operations until
April 1, 1947, and liquidation thereafter. Consequently,
no estimate is included for this activity. Funds are pro-
vided, however, in the amount of $60,000 for completmg
liquidation in 1948.
SOUTHWESTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION
The Southwestern Power Administration was estab-
hshed in 1943 by departmental order issued pursuant to
Executive Orders 8944, 9353, 9366, and 9373 to perform
duties assigned to the Secretary of the Interior with
respect to the Grand River Dam project in Oklahoma,
the Norfork Dam project in Arkansas, and the Denison
Dam project in Oklahoma and Texas. By these orders,
the Admmistration is charged with completing the con-
struction of and operating the Grand River Dam project
and marketing electric energy generated at that project
and the surplus electric energy generated at the Norfork
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
429
and Denison Dam projects, constructed and operated by
the Corps of Engineers.
The Grand River Dam project was returned by the
Federal Government to the Grand River Dam Authority
effective September 1, 1946, and the project is now being
operated by the Authority.
Pursuant to the Flood Control Act of December 22,
1944 (58 Stat. 887), the Administration has been desig-
nated by the Secretary of the Interior as the marketing
agent for surplus electric power and energy generated at
projects under the control of the War Department in
Louisiana, Arkansas, southern Missouri, southeastern
Kansas, most of Oklahoma, and eastern Texas.
The estimates for the fiscal year 1948, aggregating
$2,725,000 constitute a decrease of $4,882,400 under the
1947 appropriation. In 1948 they provide mainly for
the following: $200,000 for operation and maintenance;
$2,000,000 for the completion of acquisition of the Ark-La
transmission line to be initiated in 1947; $600,000 for
the acquisition of the Lake Catherine substation; $300,000
for administration, engineering, general overhead ex-
penses, and general plant and equipment for the present
construction program which will continue into 1948;
and $25,000 for plans and specifications for future pro-
grams.
BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
The Bureau of Land Management was created by Re-
organization Plan No. 3 of 1946, approved by Congress on
July 13, 1946, to assume the consolidated functions of the
General Land OfTice and the Grazing Service. Its aim is
to bring under one management resources of more than
400 million acres of public lands located primarily in 11
western States and Alaska. This involves the study and
inventory of these resources, the development of plans for
their proper utilization and their actual management in
connection with their use and development by thousands
of individuals and groups. It also includes the administra-
tion of thousands of public land laws enacted by Congress
providing for disposal and various methods of use of lands
of all types.
The work of the former General Land Office is outlined
in these thousands of public land laws. The Land Office
also administered timber and grazing lands both in the
continental United States and Alaska. It was charged
with the survey and resurvey of public lands.
The Grazing Service was charged with the administra-
tion of 142 million acres of public lands located within 60
grazing districts established under the Taylor Grazing
Act of 1934. This was primarily a land management and
conservation activity. The consolidation of these activi-
ties places similar functions in one bureau and should
promote a higher degree of efficiency in their management.
Annual appropriations aggregating $5,007,800 are
recommended for this Bureau, an increase of $685,284
above the estimated appropriations for 1947. The greater
portion of the increase recommended is to permit grazing
administration to be conducted at about the 1946 program
level. Except for an increase of $71 ,700 for fire protection
on revested Oregon and California Railroad and Coos
Bay Wagon Road grant lands, Oregon, the remaining
increases are principallj^ for within-grade promotions,
salary advancements, and the filling on a full-year basis of
positions provided for on a part-time basis in 1947.
BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is concerned with the
economic rehabilitation of the Indian wards of the United
States and aims to assure to them opportunities enjoyed
by other racial groups in the fields of education, health,
cultural freedom, and self-government. More than
350,000 Indians in the continental United States and
32,000 Eskimos, Aleuts, and Indians in Alaska come
within the jurisdiction of the Bureau.
Among the functions performed by this Bureau are the
operation of approximately 400 day and boarding schools
and the supervision of the education of Indian children
attending public and private schools; the operation of
hospitals, sanatoria, and infirmaries; medical, dental, and
public health nursing service to Indians in their homes
and at clinics; the administration of about 46,000,000
acres of forest and grazing land; the maintenance of an
extension service, the principal objectives of which are
to encourage the use of Indian lands by Indians and to
effect the use of improved farming and livestock practices
by Indian farmers and livestock men; the administration
of a credit system; the construction, operation, and main-
tenance of irrigation systems; the maintenance of law and
order on Indian reservations and the performance of
social-service work; the administration of large sums
held in trust for individual Indians and Indian tribes;
and the construction and maintenance of buildings,
utilities, and roads.
Aimual appropriations aggregating $45,081,520 are
recommended for this Bureau for 1948, a net increase of
$1,621,441 over the estimated appropriations for 1947.
Because of reductions in or elimination of appropriations
aggregating approximately $3,500,000, a gross increase for
the functions of this Bureau would be roundly $5,120,000.
The major increases are for the extension of irrigation
systems, principally on the Colorado River Reservation,
Arizona, and the Navajo Reservation, Arizona and New
Mexico; the classification of a number of positions held by
Indians in order to bring them under the Classification
Act; additional personnel required by continuous service
operations affected by the 40-hour week; an expansion of
the agricultural extension service and of the health pro-
grams; improvement in the management and protection
of timber and range resources; expansion of services
rendered to Indians and other natives of Alaska; and for
the payment of interest on funds held by the United States
in trust for Indian tribes. Approximately 50 percent of
the appropriations to this Bureau are for education and
health purposes. There is a notable increase in school
attendance, particularly boarding schools, and a greater
utilization of hospital facilities because of the return to the
reservation of many individuals and families who were in
the armed forces or employed in war industries. It has
been necessary to provide substantial increases in funds
for the operation of schools and hospitals to meet rising
costs of supplies and materials.
BUREAU OF RECLAMATION
The objectives of the Bureau of Reclamation concern
the conservation of land and water resources; the trans-
formation, through irrigation, of desert lands into pro-
ductive farms; the protection, through adequate water
supplies, of established agricultural economy from the
adverse effects of recurring droughts in the semiarid
regions; and the stabilization of the livestock industry at
a high level through providing the means of growing feed
and forage crops. In company with these major purposes
is the function of creating facilities for generation of hydro-
electric power, land drainage, control of floods, improve-
ment of navigation, silt control, regulation of stream flow,
provision of municipal water supplies, and the incidental
development of recreational areas and wildlife refuges,
430
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
The responsibilities of the Bureau include the planning,
construction, and operation of these multipurpose facilities
which must be completely coordinated with facilities
already built or planned to be constructed in the future,
either by the Bureau of Reclamation or other agencies,
so that the water resources may be used most beneficially.
The activities of the Bureau are carried on in the 17
Western States.
The 1948 budget provides for surveys and investi-
gations, preparation of reports, plans, and specifications,
economic studies, and land use analysis, in the amount of
$5,000,000 for general investigations, $1,810,000 specifi-
cally for the Missouri River Basin, and $500,000 specifi-
cally for the Colorado River development.
The scope of activities of the Bureau has been extended
from year to year so that to the present time 58 irrigation
projects or divisions of projects have been completed, of
which 34 have been turned over to the water users for
operation and maintenance. No Federal funds will be
required for these latter projects. In the fiscal year 1948,
the Bureau will operate and maintain the remaining 24
projects. During 1947, 2,420,361 acres are being irrigated
from Bureau facilities of which 685,000 acres are being irri-
gated by Bureau forces, and in 1948 it is estimated that
these acreages will increase to 2,486,600 and 744,000,
respectively. Operation and maintenance costs of power
systems are financed from power revenues within limita-
tions established in the appropriations for the particular
project. Energy generated at Bureau plants in fiscal year
1947 will approximate 13.572 billion kilowatt-hours and is
estimated at 15.163 billion kilowatt-hours in 1948. Opera-
tion and maintenance estimates and hmitations from all
sources total $7,393,707 for fiscal year 1948, compared to
$5,838,242 made available in 1947. The mcrease is due
largely to maintenance work deferred during the war.
The estimates for 1948 for construction in the aggre-
gate amount of $130,942,000, contemplate continuing
work at a conservative but economic rate on 22 projects
now under way. These funds plus balances of funds avail-
able in 1947 will provide for activity on 30 projects and
3 river basins during fiscal year 1948. The major con-
struction items in the 1948 program consist of $27,500,000
for Columbia River Basin, $20,000,000 for Central Valley
of California, $14,000,000 for Colorado-Big Thompson
project, $18,000,000 for Davis Dam, and $23,000,000 for
Missouri River Basin.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The Geological Sm-vey is primarily concerned with the
natural resources of the United States. It investigates
the geology of the United States, and conducts research
in geologic and related chemical and physical problems;
makes topographic, base, and other maps of the United
States, separate States, and special regions; investigates
the quantity, distribution, mineral quality, availability,
and utilization of the surface and underground water
supplies of the United States; classifies the public lands
as to their mineral and water resources, and furnishes
technical data for the administration of public-land laws;
supervises the technical phases of operations on public
lands under leases, licenses, and permits; and investigates
, the mineral resources and production of Alaska, and
surveys and maps the Territory's geology and topography.
The investigative and engineering activities of the
Geological Survey are distributed among four major
imits- — the Geologic, Topogi-aphic, Water Resources,
and Conservation Branches.
The recommended annual appropriations for the Geo-
logical Survey total $18,104,900, or $8,243,228 more than
the total estimated appropriations for 1947. This in-
crease mcludes $5,500,000 additional for topographic
mapping, $1,135,000 more for geologic surveys (of which
$380,000 represents funds proposed to be transferred in
1948 from the Bureau of Mines), and approximately
$1,000,000 for water investigations. Topographic quad-
rangle maps supply much of the basic data needed for
such projects or activities as flood control, drainage, irri-
gation, soil conservation, river navigation, highways, rail-
roads, transmission lines, pipe lines, tunnels, airports,
television and radar towers, and large industrial develop-
ments. The number of large public works projects au-
thorized or under consideration, as well as other important
needs, require the acceleration of the topographic mapping
program.
The depletion of our known deposits of critical and
essential minerals during the war period demands that
prompt steps be taken to inventory the Nation's mineral
resources. Less than 10 percent of the country has been
mapped geologically on scales adequate to meet minimum
current needs and many of the maps covering the Eastern
States are obsolete.
Water for municipal supplies, irrigation, power, process
uses in industry, inland navigation, and for other purposes
has reached the limits of the supply available in many
sections of the country. As the limits of supply are
approached, reliable water information becomes increas-
ingly essential for planning new and operating old develop-
ments, and for adjudicating rights. The increase recom-
mended for water investigations will enable the Geological
Survey to expand its cooperative program with States and
municipalities, to supply basic water data to Federal and
other agencies concerned with reclamation, flood control,
and water utilization problems, and to make water-resource
studies of national interest.
With the expansion of the mapping program there will
be a substantial increase in the issuance of new or revised
maps. An increase of approximately $240,000 is recom-
mended for printing maps and other data prepared by the
Survey. Of the increase recommended, $120,000 is for
the acquisition of new equipment, some of which will
replace obsolete pieces.
BUREAU OF MINES
The Bureau of Mines is engaged in scientific and tech-
nological research concerning mining. It has two basic
objectives — conservation of minerals through increased
efficiency in their mining, preparation, and use; and con-
servation of human life through safe methods of operating
mines and plants.
Annual appropriations aggregating $16,834,000 are
recommended for this Bm-eau for 1948, as compared with
$16,164,815 estimated appropriations in 1947. The
major increases recommended are for expenses of mining
experiment stations; metaflurgical research in pilot plants;
and the compilation and economic analysis of data re-
quired by the mining industry. During 1947 the Bureau
has absorbed increased pay costs at the expense of its
several important programs. The recommendations for
1948 include funds to cover these costs.
The serious depletion of the Nation's deposits of high-
gi-ade minerals, including coal and petroleum reserves,
during the war period compels a dependence on lower grade
ores until new sources of raw materials are discovered.
With funds provided for national defense piu-poses this
Bureau was engaged in developing new methods and
processes for the economic mining and utilization of these
lower grade deposits. Much progress has been made in
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
431
that duTction but a considerable amount of work remains
to be done. The total appropriations recommended for
1948 include funds for continuing these essential programs
at a level considerably below that maintained during the
war.
There is included in the recommended appropriations
$5,000,000 for the continuation of the research and devel-
opment work directed toward the production of synthetic
liquid fuels from coal, oil shale, agiicultural and forestry
products, as authorized by the act of April 5, 1944.
NAIIONAL P.ARK SERVICE
The National Park Service is responsible for the admin-
istration, protection, maintenance, and operation of some
170 areas of the national park system and 20 other areas
and projects. These areas contain more than 22 million
acres of federally owned lands with 4,500 miles of roads,
6,600 miles of trails, and about 3,700 buildings and other
improvements.
War conditions caused a decline in visitation to National
Park Service areas from a high of around 21 million in
1941 to a low of 6.9 million in the travel year ended
September 30, 1943. As visitation decreased, appropria-
tions were reduced, and the Service was placed essentially
on a custodial basis. Services normally provided for the
benefit of tourists were eliminated. Following the sur-
render of Japan, visitation to all areas increased, even
though the travel season was drawing to a close.
For the travel year ended September 30, 1946, the
areas were visited by 21,682,782 persons, an increase of
106 percent over the 1945 travel year, and 3 percent over
the previous all-time record of 21,050,426 visitors in the
1941 tr'avel year.
The amount recommended for this Service for 1948 is
$14,555,500, or $11,462,455 below the estimated total
appropriations for 1947. Funds for the construction and
maintenance of roads, trails, parkways, and physical im-
provements, show a reduction of $13,330,000. This de-
crease is offset by increases to permit rendition of mini-
mum service to visitors, whiter sports in some areas,
planning for futiu'e development, the acquisition of lands
and water rights, cooperative studies in river basuis, and
the administration of recreational areas surrounding
reservoirs formed by dams constructed by Federal agencies.
Increasing costs of supplies, materials, and equipment call
for additional funds to meet such costs. An appropriation
of $75,000 is i-ecommended for reestablishing the Travel
Bureau abohshed in 1943 because of the war.
An increase is recommended to permit the Service to
administer more adequately its concession operations, and
$132,000 is recommended for the erection at Mammoth
Cave National Park, Ky., of a concession building.
FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
This Service is responsible for the conservation and de-
velopment of our fish, bird, game, and other wildlife re-
sources. To this end it operates fish cidtural stations,
fish screens, and wildlife refuges; it enforces conservation
laws regarding fisheries and wildlife; it protects the salmon
and other fisheries in Alaska and the seals on the Pribilof
Islands; and it conducts technological and economic re-
search designed to aid the fishing industiy and the fur
trade.
The total annual apj^ropriation recommended for 1948
is $12,338,300, or $733,073 more than the estimated total
appropriations for 1947. This increase is spread generally
throughout the Service. It includes the placing in opera-
tion of some of its vessels being recommissioned in 1947
after being returned from miUtary service, expansion of
enforcement activities in the Alaskan fisheries, and the
conduct of river basin studies in cooperation with other
agencies planning for the construction of dams, reservoirs,
and related works. This latter activity is specifically
authorized by Pubhc Law 732 approved August 14, 1946.
Funds are recommended for initiating a 10-year program
designed to eradicate the sea lampreys of the Great Lakes,
as authorized by joint resolution of August 8, 1946.
GOVERNMENT IN THE TERRITORIES
This group of appropriations provides for activities of
our Territorial governments — Alaska, Hawaii, and the
Virgin Islands — financed out of the Federal Treasury.
It does not cover the operations in Alaska of the several
constituent units of the Department.
A total of $9,016,700 is recommended for this group of
aimual appropriations for 1948. This is $4,602,810 in
excess of the estimated total appropriations for 1947.
Fmids are omitted for legislative expenses in both Alaska
and Hawaii, 1948 being the off-year. The major item of
increase is for beginning the rehabilitation of the Alaska
Railroad. In addition to a cash appropriation of
$4,000,000, contractual authority for an additional
$15,000,000 is recommended. For continuing the high-
way construction program in Alaska, initiated in 1947,
and for maintaining existing highways, an appropriation
of $3,753,000 is recommended, an increase of $1,153,000
over the 1947 appropriation. This increase is oft'set by
a reduction of $500,000 in the amount for completing the
reconstruction and improvement of the Richardson
Highway.
PERMANENT APPROPRIATIONS AND TRUST ACCOUNTS
In addition to the annual appropriations described
above, permanent appropriations aggregating $18,538,800
and trust accounts aggregatmg $11,878,700 are recom-
mended for the Department of the Interior for 1948.
Of the total for trust accomits, $8,671,000 represents
trust funds received in the Federal Treasury and credited
to Indian tribes or bands under numerous acts of Congress;
many of these acts also specify the disposition of these
moneys, including such purposes as per capita distri-
bution to the Indians, operation of Indian lumber mills,
payment of attorney's fees, and msurance on tribal
property. The other large group of trust fund appro-
priations is that dealing with the Bm-eau of Reclamation,
for which $1,976,607 is recommended for 1948.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Comparative Summary of Appropriations and Appropriation Estimates
[Appropriations for 1947 did not make provision for certain legislation enacted in the latter part of the last regular session, nor for certain unforeseen costs arising since that time due
to circumstanoos virtually beyond administrative control. To the extent that such expenses cannot be absorbed within presently available funds, supplemental appropriations
will be required. The latest estimates of amounts so required are shown in the detail schedules for the various appropriation titles and in a separate column of the table below]

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Depai-tment of Justice represents the Government
in legal matters and renders advice and opinions upon re-
quest of the President and the heads of executive depart-
ments. The work of the Department includes the activ-
ities of the United States district attorneys and marshals
in the 93 judicial districts, the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the
Federal Prison System, Federal Prison Industries, Inc.,
and the Office of Alien Property. The estimates for
Federal Prison Industries, Inc., are set forth in the
chapter on Government corporations. The Department's
requirements for direct appropriations in 194S are 0.3
percent over estimated requirements for 1947.
LEGAL ACTIVITIES AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
This section of the estimates consists of the legal and
administrative offices and divisions, the majority of which
have relatively stable woi'k loads. Adjustments have
been made where required to reflect variations in work
loads and economies. Substantial increases are included
for the Claims Division and miscellaneous salaries and
expenses, field, which provide for certain admiralty
litigation formerly handled by the War Shipping Admin-
istration. The Antitrust Division is increased to provide
for a larger work load which includes recovery of excess
wartime charges against the Government. A new ap-
propriation, "Federal tort clauns," is included to provide
for all approved claims of this natui-e against the Depart-
ment. Increases have been largely ofl'set by reductions,
the estimates for 1948 under this section being 3.5 percent
over 1947 estimated appropriations.
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Investigatory activities pertaining to selective service,
deserters, impersonation, illegal wearing of uniforms,
espionage, treason, and other violations of a wartime
character have declined. This decline is expected to be
largely offset by increases in investigations required for
other violations including new legislation enacted by the
Seventy-nmth Congress. Provision for investigations
requu-ed by the Atomic Energy Act is to be made by
allocating funds from appropriations to be available to
the Atomic Energy Commission. Increased personnel
is provided for the administrative and identification
functions to handle estimated work loads and backlogs.
The regular and national defense estimates are merged for
1948 and are 0.5 percent under estimated appropriations
for 1947.
IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE
The alien enemy detention program has been elim-
inated, as pending litigation shoidd be completed so as to
permit final liquidation in 1947. This saving is largely
offset by increased work loads caused by the rapid ex-
pansion of international travel, establishment of new
ports of entry, and increased deportation costs. Ap-
proximately 2.7 percent of the 1947 and 3 percent of the
1948 estimates are due to a decision of the Court of Claims
on May 6, 1946, pertaining to overtime of immigrant

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
inspectors under the act of March 2, 1931. The 1948
estimate is approximately 1.2 percent imder estimated
appropriations for 1947.
FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM
The prison population, which has shown an upward
trend for 3 years, now is leveling off. Estimates for 1948
are based on an average imnate population which exceeds
slightly the 1946 population. Provision is made for in-
creased costs for food and clothing of inmates. Capital
improvements are confined to a public worlvs planning
staff, certain projects already begun and a few new projects
involving the custody and health of inmates. The 1948
estimate is approximately 0.2 percent over estimated
appropriations for 1947.
OFFICE OF ALIEN PROPERTY
This office performs all the functions of the former
Office of Alien Property Custodian, except the Philippine
activities. The office is in process of reorganization and
assimilation into the Department of Justice. The Philip-
pine activities have been eliminated from the estimates
of this office and a substantial reduction has been made in
the original vesting program. Increases have been pro-
vided for the vesting of cash and securities; also for the
title and debt claims programs. The 1948 estimate is
approximately 12.3 percent over estimated obligations
for 1947. The Philippine activities were transferred to
the Office of Emergency Management by Executive
Order 9789, recommendations regarding which are shown
under the chapter heading, "Executive Office of the Presi-
dent and Independent Offices," in this Budget.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Department of Labor was created by the act of
March 4, 1913, which estabHshed the purpose of the
Department "to foster, promote, and develop the welfare
of the wage earners in the United States, to improve their
working conditions, and to advance their opportunities
for profitable employment."
The reduction in the 1948 estimates for the Department
as a whole is accounted for by the transfer of the Children's
Bureau to the Federal Security Agency, the elimination
of the programs of the Retraining and Reemploj'ment
Administration and the National Wage Stabilization
Board, the nom'ecurrence of the $11,000,000 item for
payment of terminal leave and liquidation expenses of
the federally operated Employment Service, and reduc-
tions in estimates made possible by the return to Wash-
ington of the departmental ofRce of the W'age and Hour
Division during fiscal year 1947. The Budget provides
an increase of $5,900,000 over 1947 appropriations, after
adjusting for the above items. The principal increases
are $3,300,000 for the Employment Service and related
items, $1,300,000 for labor information and statistics,
$500,000 for Apprentice Training Service and $650,000
for various operating programs in the OfRce of the
Secretary.
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
The Office of the Secretary provides general supervision
and policy direction over the activities of the Department.
In addition to the immediate office of the Secretary, the
activities financed from appropriations under this head
include (1) administrative staff functions, such as the
budget office, the immediate office of the Solicitor, the
hbrary, the personnel office and the Division of Informa-
tion; (2) the operating programs of the Office of the
Solicitor, Division of Labor Standards, Conciliation Serv-
ice, and Retraining and Reemployment Administration;
and (3) all departmental miscellaneous expenses. In
addition, staff is included for the first time to enable
the Department to discharge its responsibUities in con-
nection with international affairs. These include direc-
tion of United States participation in the International
Labor Conference, assistance in United Nations affairs,
membership on the Board of the Foreign Service, and
advisory services pertaining to administration of occupied
territories.
The Office of the Solicitor, in addition to normal stafif
functions, is responsible for wage-determination work
related to Federal construction, and for litigation and
hearings activities under various laws administered by
the Department. W^ork loads of this Office are almost
entirely beyond the control of the Department and have
shown a marked upward trend in recent years.
The Division of Labor Standards assists industry, labor,
and the States in improving, developing, and administer-
ing labor laws and standards, and sponsors official activi-
ties aimed at improving working conditions of employees.
Durmg fiscal year 1947, after the transfer of the Children's
Bureau to the Federal Security Agency under Reorganiza-
tion Plan No. 2 of 1946, the Secretary of Labor assigned
to the Division responsibility for administration of the
child-labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
This Division operates as a clearmghouse of information
for State labor departments and in this capacity con-
ducts national and regional conferences at which labor-
law administrators, workers, employers, and interested
611
612
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
public agencies exchange views upon proper labor stand-
ards and administrative methods. It formulates stand-
ards for the improvement of factory conditions affecting
the safety and health of workers, and through assistance
to States promotes sound safety and health practices in
industrial establishments. It promotes educational work
among worker, management, and civic groups and insti-
tutions, and prepares technical data for use by such
groups and institutions, to the end that sound, workable
labor-management relationships may be attained and
maintained. Under its newest program, the Division
handles all aspects of administration of the child-labor
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act except actual
inspections and court proceedings, and renders advisory
services and conducts research relative to factors affect-
ing employment of children and young people, and
standards for such employment.
The .United States Conciliation Service acts for the
Secretary of Labor under section 8 of the organic act of
1913, which provides that "the Secretary of Labor shall
have power to act as mediator and appoint commissioners
of conciliation in labor disputes whenever inliis judgment
the interests of industrial peace may require it to be done."
The Conciliation Service is the principal instrument for
carrying out the Federal Government's policy of voluntary
assistance to the parties in labor disputes, supplementing
collective bargaining as the primary method of maintain-
ing sound and harmonious industrial relations. Con-
sistent with recommendations of the President's Labor-
Management Conference held in November 1945, and of
other labor and management groups, the Service has been
materially strengthened through administrative action
during the past year. Fiu-ther action along these lines is*
contemplated by the 1948 estimates.
The Retraining and Reemployment Administration was
created by the War Mobilization and Reconversion Act
of 1944, and was transferred to the Department of Labor
by Executive order on September 19, 1945. Its functions
are general supervision and direction of activities of all
executive agencies, except Veterans' Administration,
authorized by law relating to retraining, reemployment,
vocational education, and vocational rehabilitation, for
the purpose of coordinating such activities and eliminating
overlapping functions of such agencies; and coordination
of Federal activities in these fields with the activities of
State and local agencies. Since the basic legislation for
these activities expires June 30, 1947, no estimate for
fiscal year 1948 is submitted.
APPRENTICE TRAINING SERVICE
This service encourages and promotes the establishment
and supervision of employee training programs in ap-
prenticeable trades and occupations. Assistance is pro-
vided to State apprenticeship councils and to management
and labor in the development and maintenance of ap-
prenticeship programs.
Emphasis is being placed on programs for veterans to
enable them to obtain formal standardized apprenticeship
training and for the expansion of programs in the con-
struction trades essential to the veterans' housing pro-
gram. The agency has increased its staff during the
current year and the estimate contemplates a further
increase in personnel to take care of the additional work
load occurring now and anticipated in fiscal year 1948.
The number of programs in operation is expected to in-
crease from 9,500 as of July 1, 1946, to 26,000 as of
July 1, 1948.
BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
The Bureau of Labor Statistics since 1888 has been
charged with the statutory duty "to acquire and diffuse
among the people of the United States useful information
on subjects coimected with labor in the most general and
comprehensive sense. * * *" It collects, analyzes,
and publishes statistical and other relevant information
concerning employment, wages, hours of labor, earnmgs,
wholesale and retail prices, cost of living, the effect of tech-
nological advances upon labor productivity and employ-
ment, collective bargaming and labor disputes, industrial
accidents, foreign labor conditions, and building construc-
tion. The statistical series and economic studies produced
by the Bureau are released thi-ough the Monthly Labor
Review and other media. The data constitute indispensa-
ble information for legislators and other Federal officials
concerned with formulation or execution of national
policies relative to the well-being of the national economy.
Moreover, the statistical and economic information is of
inestimable value to labor and management in the conduct
of industrial relations.
The budget for 1948 will afford the collection of more
current wage data from a larger number of industries;
niore comprehensive data on price movements and cost of
living in a larger number of cities, including at least one in
each of the 48 States; more highly developed productivity
information from an increased number of manufacturing
industries; more current data on the status and residts of
collective bargaining; and analysis of foreign labor condi-
tions better to inform this Government for improvement of
domestic programs and for effective participation in inter-
national affairs.
children's bureau
The Children's Bureau, except the Industrial Division,
was transferred to the Federal Security Agency as of July
16, 1946, pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946.
The functions which remained in the Department of
Labor — those relating to administration of the child-labor
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act — were trans-
ferred to the Secretary of Labor. By administrative
order, the Secretary assigned operating responsibility for
this program to the Child Labor and Youth Employment
Branch of the Division of Labor Standards in the Office
of the Secretary.
NATIONAL WAGE STABILIZATION BOARD
The National Wage Stabilization Board is responsible
for administration of the wage stabilization program inso-
far as it affects most wage and salaried employees who
earn less than $5,000 per year. Under Executive Order
9809 issued December 12, "^1946, the Board will be termi-
nated on February 24, 1947, and residual activities will
be transferred as of that date to the Secretary of Labor
and the Treasury Department. Accordingly, no estimate
is submitted for fiscal year 1948.
UNITED STATES EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
Under the act of June 6, 1933, the United States Em-
ployment Service was established as a bureau in the
Department of Labor to promote and develop a national
system of public employment offices, to maintain a
veterans' employment service, and a farm placement
service. The coordinated program of this organization
is carried out through a headquarters and regional staff
and a veterans' employment service staff provided for by a
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
613
general administrative appropriation. The dii-ect place-
ment and counseling functions for veterans and other
worlvcrs are cai'ried on through the affiliated State em-
ployment services financed by Federal grants to the States
for this purpose.
The responsibilities of the United States Employment
Service were recently enlarged by the Servicemen's Ke-
adjustment Act of 1944 which established the Veterans'
Placement Service Board to cooperate with the United
States Employment Service for the purpose of assuring
an effective job-counseling and employment placement
service for veterans. The executive secretary of this
Board is also Chief of the Veterans' Employment Service
in the United States Employment Service and through
that organization has the responsibility of carrying out
the policies of the Board in accordance with the Act.
women's bureau
The Women's Bureau formulates standards and policies
to promote the welfare of wage-earning women, improve
their working conditions, increase their efficiency, and
advance their opportunities for profitable employment.
The work of this Bureau has been of growing importance
dm'ing the war, in the reconversion period, and now in the
postwar period. Many women who entered the labor
force under the impetus of war-born need have not re-
turned to prewar occupations, so that the percentage of
women workers is higher than at any previous time. The
return of competition for jobs in the labor market reopens
opportunity for exploitation and requires increased vigi-
lance on the part of this Bureau. The increased emphasis
placed by the International Labor Organization on the
role and requirements of women in the labor force neces-
sarily is reflected in the activities of this Bureau, the focal
point in the United States Government for this work.
Consistent with the enlarged role of the United States and
the Department of Labor in international aft'airs, this
Bureau must be enabled to meet the calls made on it, in
the international field as well as in domestic matters, if it
is to accomplish the purposes for which it was established.
WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the Wage
and Hour Division enforces the wage-and-hour provisions
applying to employees engaged in interstate commerce or
in the production of goods for interstate commerce. This
Division also administers the Walsh-Healey Public Con-
tracts Act of 1936, which requires the recipients of Govern-
ment supply contracts of $10,000 or more to operate upon
a 40-hour basic workweek with overtime beyond that
time, and to maintain specified standards for child labor
and safety and health.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
General Statement
The funclamental naval policy of the United States is to
maintain the Navy in strength and readiness to uphold
national policies and interests, and to guard the United
States and its continental and overseas possessions. The
administration of this policy is carried out by the Navy
Department.
The Navy Department comprises the Offices of the
Secretary and Chief of Naval Operations, the Bureaus of
Naval Personnel, Yards and Docks, Ordnance, Ships,
Supplies and Accounts, Medicine and Surgery, Aeronau-
tics, and the Headquarters, Marine Corps.
ALTERNATE BUDGET
An alternate budget, which represents a redistribution
of the $3,654,150,300 recommended under annual appro-
priations for the fiscal year 194S and a revision of appro-
priation language for this amount, is presented for con-
sideration by the Congress. The alternate budget proposal
appears on pages 689 to 725 and is designed to provide
fiscal responsibility paralleling management responsibility,
simplification of internal management, facilitation of fiscal
control, greater clarity in budget presentations, and im-
provement of personnel control.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Navy Budget Program, Fiscal Year 1948
The budget of the Navy Department for the fiscal year
1948 provides for annual appropriations of $3,504,150,300
and for contract authorizations in the amount of $170,-
000,000. In addition, provision is made for the transfer
of $50,000,000 from the "Clothing and small stores fund"
to augment the appi'opriation for the pay and subsistence
of naval personnel and the transfers from the "Naval
stock fund" of $50,000,000 to the appropriation "Mainte-
nance, Bureau of Ships" and $50,000,000 to the appro-
priation "Maintenance, Bureau of Supplies and Accounts."
The total budget request for 1948 is, therefore,
$3,824,150,300.
Breaking down this total into major categories, the
largest item is for the pay, subsistence and transportation
of naval persomiel, $1,383,668,000. This sum, together
with funds provided for the training, education, welfare,
and medical care of personnel in the amount of
$177,432,000, accounts for 41 percent of the entire Navy
budget. This is based upon an assumption of an average
man-year strength of 473,286, includmg officers and
enlisted men.
There is provided $1,105,603,000 for the maintenance
and operation of the fleet, including repau-s, equipage,
supplies, and fuel for vessels, ordnance and ordnance
stores, freight charges, and upkeep of the shore establish-
ments supporting the fleet. This sum comprises 29
percent of the total.
The amount provided for aviation, $536,000,000 of cash
appropriations and $170,000,000 of contract authority,
makes up 18 percent of the budget.
The Marine Corps estimates account for 9 percent of
the total, amounting to $341,460,000. This is based upon
an assumption of an average Marine Corps man-j^ear
strength of 97,500, including officers and enlisted men.
The remainder of the budget, totaling $109,987,300, or
3 percent, consists of miscellaneous expenses, departmental
salaries, and other small appropriations.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
In order to provide a more comprehensive comparison
of the financial operations of the postal service as they
relate to the use of the postal revenue and general
revenue, the above table has been expanded to include a
section on "Annual appropriations out of general fund
of the Treasury." This permits a clearer understanding
of the amounts and purposes for which general funds of the
Treasury are appropriated for postal-service operations.
In the year following the war's end, the Department's
policy to restore operations in the postal service to a
prewar standard was hampered by continued shortages
in the labor and commodity markets. The Department
continued its program in 1947 of restoring full services
to the public which were curtailed during the war. How-
ever, greatly increased costs reduced the scope of its
action within prescribed appropriation limits. Sufficient
funds to implement the program have therefore been
provided in the estimates for the fiscal years 1947 and
1948, to make up for the handicaps experienced during the
first reconversion year.
The Department has provided necessary additional
manpower and facilities for handling the mails to keep
pace with mail volume and expanded transportation
services. The Department also assumed tlie costs, which
were formerly borne by war agencies, of transporting
civilian mails between this and foreign countries. Com-
plete mail service has been restored to many foreign
countries and partial service to some.
An- transport carriers, in both domestic and foreign
services, have been encouraged to expand their facilities
to meet the increasing public demands that will be
generated by lowered postage rates.
M.\IL VOLUME AND POSTAL REVENUE
Total estimated postal revenue for 1947 and 1948 has
been predicated upon estimates of mail volume and special
services in units, as shown in supporting schedule 3.
Estimates indicate something more than a 3 percent
increase in mail volume in 1948 compared with 1946, and
slightly less than that percentage of increase in revenue.
This reflects the changing patterns of use by the pubHc
between classes of mail and services in the postwar recon-
version period.
727
728
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Substantial volume increases in first-class ordinary mail,
in domestic air mail, tliird- and fourth-class mail, and in
special services are anticipated in 1948. Increases in do-
mestic ail' mail volume are forecast for 1947 and 1948 as
a result of the recent reduction of the postage rate to 5
cents an ounce. Volmiie increases in civilian mails to
foreign countries are expected, although these are more
than offset by the sharp reductions in paid air mail
volume to military forces stationed in foreign countries.
A continued trend in the expanded use of the mails by
business is forecast by the increases estimated for first-,
thu'd- and fourth-class domestic mails.
Estimated postal revenue for the fiscal year 1947 is based
on the wartime rates of postage authorized bv the Kevenue
Act of 1943. On December 31, 1946, the President pro-
clamed the cessation of hostilities of World War II; six
months after that date the wartime increases are auto-
matically elimmated and the (estimated revenue for the
fiscal year 1948 reflect the reduced rates.
POSTAL EXPENDITURES AND DEFICIENCIES IN POSTAL
REVENUES
Increased costs of labor and commodities used by the
postal service, with no corresponding increase in the level
of postal revenue, will result in an estimated deficiency
in fiscal years 1947 and 1948. These deficiencies would be
19.4 percent of total postal expenditures in fiscal year 1947
and 22.8 percent in 1948. Deficiencies in postal revenue are
paid from the general fund of the Treasury. Under the
recommendations of the President the deficiency for the
fiscal year 1948 would be wiped out through higher postal
rates.
Since more than 80 percent of the operating costs are
for personal services, the principal part of the increased
operating expenditures in 1947 and 1948 results from in-
creases in salaries and adjustments in classification of
employees in the postal service authorized by recent legis-
lation. Due to the enactment of that legislation after
the regular appropriation had been made for 1947 it is
estimated that an additional appropriation of $176,465,954
will be required to meet its cost in that year. Fm-ther,
an additional appropriation totaling $74,351,473 will be
required to meet increased cost of services and commodi-
ties, the necessity for providing additional facilities and
manpower to care for increased mail volume, restoration
and expansion of service, and the replacement of equip-
ment which could not be replaced during war years.
These amounts will be partially offset by savings in certain
appropriations totaling $15,419,106. On an expenditure
basis, this will result in a total deficiency of postal revenue
in 1947 of $295,150,543.
Of the $26,990,707 estimated increase in expenditures
for 1948 over 1947, 66 percent will be required in post
offices (dhected by the First Assistant Postmaster Gen-
eral), 22 percent will be required for transportation (di-
rected by the Second Assistant Postmaster General) and 12
percent will be required for services, supplies and equip-
ment, and operation of public buildings (directed by the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General).

Comparative Summary of Appropriations and Appropriation Estimates
[Appropriations for 1947 did not make provision for certain legislation enacted in the latter part of the last regular session, nor for certain unforeseen costs arising since that time due
to circumstances virtually beyond administrative control. To the extent that such expenses cannot be absorbed within presently available funds, supplemental appropriations
will be required. The latest estimates of amounts so required are shown in the detail schedules for the various appropriation titles and in a separate column of the table below]

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The United States is now committed to participation in
international relations to a greater extent than ever before
in our history. The Department of State is the principal
agency of the Government responsible under the President
for conducting our foreign relations. The Department
must assure that all aspects of foreign pohcy are developed
in harmony with total national policy, and that they are
properly enunciated and implemented through normal
diplomatic channels as well as through international
organizations and other avenues of international inter-
course. The work of the Department includes extensive
negotiations with foreign countries, development of mea-
sures for the protection of American citizens and interests
abroad, promotion of friendly relations between the United
States and other countries, and operation of our diplo-
matic missions throughout the world.
Most of the war emergency functions of the Department
wiU have disappeared by 1948; a number of postwar and
transitional problems will remain. Postwar reconversion
problems do not stop at our national boundaries but are
world wide and are increasingly more difficult in the foreign
relations field. Within the new framework of the Foreign
Service Act of 1946, foreign service activities require
strengthening and expansion. The relatively new respon-
sibihties of the Department in the fields of research and
intelhgence are essential to provide the Department and
other agencies of the Government with necessary infor-
mation concerning foreign developments. Foreign infor-
mation and cultural relations programs will continue to be
integral aspects of our foreign relations program. Finally,
the extent and cost of participation in international organ-
izations is increasing.
DEPARTMENT SERVICE
Appropriations totaling $4.3,665,000 will be required for
the Department Service. This estimate, approximately
$1,057,000 less than the appropriations for 1947, reflects
some internal adjustment of organization and program.
Slight increases are provided to strengthen the Depart-
ment's organization for certain strategic areas, and for
travel and other service items. A substantial increase
is required for the departmental staff necessary for the ad-
ministration of an expanded Foreign Service. The ap-
propriations take into account some reductions in personal
services for certain regular Department activities. The
appropriation proposed for the domestic aspects of the
research and intelligence program contemplates continua-
tion of this activity at approximately its present level. A
significant increase has been provided in the domestic
programing and production aspects of the foreign in-
formation and cultural relations program to permit
urgently required expansion in important segments of that
program and to meet increased costs. The overseas sur-
plus property disposal program should be drawing to an
end in fiscal year 1948, and the amount included will pro-
vide for a final closing out of that activity. The surplus
property disposal estimate represents an 80 percent reduc-
tion from the funds available for this purpose in 1947.
FOREIGN SERVICE
The Foreign Service of the United States is the instru-
ment through which the Secretary of State maintains per-
manent representation abroad in the discharge of his
responsibilities to the President for the conduct of foreign
relations.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
The $134,639,000 proposed represents an increase of
approximately $75,000,000 over the 1947 figure. A sizable
part of this increase ($50,000,000) provides in accordance
with law for sums to be covered into the Treasury as
representing the value of property acquired abroad for
diplomatic and consular use in retm-n for credits received
in surplus property and lend-lease settlements. This is
primarily a "bookkeeping" item.
With the retm-n cf peaceful conditions thi'oughout the
world increased provision has been made for the promotion
and protection of American trade abroad, more adequate
political and economic reporting and increased consular
work including the issuance of visas and the relief and
repatriation of United States nationals. A more adequate
and effective administrative staff abroad is planned.
Finally, the major role of this Nation in world affairs
necessitates an adequate international information pro-
gi-am and the provision abroad for a small staff for special
studies to round out the intelligence program of the
Department. Increases are provided for these fields.
INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
International obligations and activities, including United
States contributions to international organizations and
commissions, will require $91,406,787. Greater provision
is made in 1948 for United States contributions to inter-
national organizations than in 1947. This includes an
increase in the United States' share of a larger United
Nations budget and a new United States contribution to
the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization.
An amount of $5,820,000 is included to carry on the
program of cooperation with the other American Republics
at approximately its present level and contemplates
greater emphasis on that phase of the program concerned
with the exchange of persons. This program is based
on the cooperative purposes expressed in treaties, resolu-
tions, and recommendations previously signed by the
American republics. The projects under this program
afford a practical means of carrying out the objective of
strengthening inter-American solidarity.
The increase of $6,174,000 over 1947 in funds for
Philippine rehabilitation will be used to carry out the
established schedule for the second year of this 4-year
program.
The sum of $9,025,000 is provided for the work of the
International Boundary and Water Commission, United
States and Mexico, including construction activities under
international treaties with Mexico, and represents a
$1,205,000 reduction under 1947 appropriations.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Comparative Summary of Appropriations and Appropriation Estimates
TAppropriatiODS for 1Q47 did not make provision for certain legislation enacted in the latter part of the last regular session, nor for certain unforeseen costs arising since that time due
to circumstances virtually beyond administrative control. To the extent that such expenses cannot be absorbed within presently available funds, supplemental appropriations
will be required. The latest estimates of amounts so required are shown in the detail schedules for the various appropriation titles and in a separate column of the table below]

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Treasury Department's appropriations provide for
the performance of functions relating to the pubhc debt;
the collection of internal-revenue and customs duties; the
manufacture of currency and coin; accounting, disburs-
ing, and procurement operations; and for the following
regulatory and enforcement agencies: U. S. Coast Guard,
the Bureau of Narcotics, the Secret Service, and the
Alcohol Tax Unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
The Treasury's estimates for 1948 do not include funds
for the war emergency functions of the Foreign Funds
Control, the liquidation of which is contemplated prior to
July 1, 1947. However, the estimates do include funds to
be required for the maintenance, in accordance with the
provisions of Public Law 658, approved August 8, 1946,
of the health service program for Treasury Department
employees in the District of Columbia. Funds for a
similar purpose for the current year are available to the
Federal Security Agency.
The total amount requested for 1948 under general and
special accounts of the Department reflects a net decrease
of about 1 percent as compared with 1947 estimated funds
for similar purposes. This decrease results primarily from
reduced requirements for tax refunds, strategic and critical
materials, and refund payments under the Renegotiation
781
782
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Act, offset by increases necessitated for expanded opera-
tions ia the Bureau of Customs, Bureau of Accounts
(Division of Disbursement), Bureau of Federal Supply
(formerly the Procurement Division), an amount for
Subscriptions to Capital Stock, Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation, additional maintenance expenses of the
United States Coast Guard and the Bureau of the Public
Debt, and the increased cost of the Department's penalty
mail.
DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION
The administrative expenses of the Office of the Secre-
tary in 1948, as well as the requirements for the adminis-
trative services in the Division of Tax Kesearch, the
Office of Tax Legislative Coimsel, the Division of Re-
search and Statistics, the Office of the General Counsel,
the Division of Personnel, the Office of the Chief Clerk,
and the Custody of Treasury Department Buildings,
which provide the general overhead activities of the De-
partment, are estimated to be about the same ui 1948
as in 1947. However, a substantial increase in the
Department's requirements for penalty mail costs is
expected due to the additional checks to be issued for the
Veterans' Administration and Social Security Board and
to increased rates charged by the Post Office Department.
REVENUE COLLECTIONS
The Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of
Customs are responsible for collecting the preponderant
portion of the Goveriunent's revenue.
While Internal Revenue tax refunds are expected to
decrease by approximately 4 percent in 1948, the require-
ments for the Bureau of Internal Revenue for adminis-
trative expenses in admmistering the existmg revenue
laws are about the same as the 1947 estimated require-
ments.
The estimates for the Bureau of Customs are about 12
percent greater in 1948 than in 1947. Of this percentage,
the administrative expenses of the Bureau of Customs
show an increase of about 8 percent for 1948. Requu-e-
ments for refunds and drawbacks of customs receipts are
expected to increase about 20 percent over the cm-rent
fiscal year. The additional funds to be required by the
Bureau for 1948 are necessary to restore the positions
abolished during the war, for increased drawbacks, and to
provide for handling the increased business stemming from
expanded air traffic.
PUBLIC DEBT OPERATIONS
The administrative expenses of the Bureau of the
Public Debt are expected to be slightly more in 1 948 than
in the current fiscal year. During the war period, the
number of bonds sold greatly exceeded redemptions.
For 1948 it is expected that this situation will be reversed,
and that a substantial part of existing heavy backlogs of
work can be eliminated. Savings bond promotional oper-
ations currently restricted to the encouragement of bond
sales through the pay-roll savings plan throughout the
country will be carried on at the same level in 1948.
Interest on the public debt for 1948 shows an increase of
about 1 percent over 1947.
An anticipated reduction in receipts representing re-
payments of loans made by the Federal Emergency
Administration of Public Works is expected to reduce,
correspondingly, the appropriations for the retnement of
obligations of the United States.
CENTRAL FISCAL SERVICES
The Bureau of Accounts and the Office of the Treasurer
of the United States are responsible for the receipt, safe-
keeping, and disbursing of the Goveriunent's funds, and
for related accounting fimctions. The volume of work to
be performed by the Bureau of Accounts in 1947 is ex-
pected to be substantially greater than can be financed
with currently available funds. This is due to the in-
creased number of veterans and social-security payments.
These increases also affect the Office of the Treasurer of
the United States. However, improved check clearance
procedures in the Treasurer's office results in an antici-
pated decrease in the 1948 requirements of about 4
percent.
MANUFACTURE OF COIN, CURRENCY, AND SECURITIES
The estimates for the Bureau of the Mint for 1948 reflect
an estimated increase approximating 2}^ percent which is
required for the restoration to near prewar levels of re-
finery and deposit activities.
In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, increased
currency and revenue-stamp demands result in additional
requirements approximating 2 percent.
REGULATORY AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
Funds are requested to provide for regulatory and
enforcement activities of the Treasury Department to
be carried on by the Bureau of Narcotics, Secret Service,
Alcohol Tax Unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
and the United States Coast Guard. Similar functions
performed by the Comptroller of the Currency are no
longer provided for by appropriation by Congress. The
activities of the Foreign Funds Control are expected to
be liquidated prior to July 1, 1947, and no further appro-
priation for this purpose is anticipated.
The United States Coast Guard, which had operated as
a part of the Navy during the war, was transferred back
to Treasury effective January 1, 1946, by Executive
Order 9666. The amount requested for 1948, as com-
pared with funds available for the current fiscal year,
represents an increase of about 7 percent which is necessary
primarily for increased retirement pay, equipment replace-
ment and repairs, and supplies and materials for cm-rent
operating needs.
Anticipated increased work load in the Secret Service
Division in 1948 will necessitate an increase in the agent
force. Such increase results primarily from the estimated
increase in the number of investigations which must be
made of forgeries of veterans' checks and checks currently
being issued pursuant to the Ai-med Forces Leave Act of
1946. All other regulatory and enforcement activities
of the Department will be continued in 1948 at approxi-
mately their 1947 levels.
GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT
The increase requested for the Bureau of Federal
Supply (formerly the Procurement Division) is due to the
expansion of certain procmement operations including
those related to public utility, central freight traffic and
inspection activities.
TRUST ACCOUNTS
The estimates of appropriation for trust accounts for
1948 are slightly grcalcr than the appropriations for 1947.
Increased receipts during llie fiscal year 1948 are expected
in both the Federal old-age and sm-vivors insurance trust
fund and the unemployment trust fund.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
MiLiTAEY Activities
GENERAL STATEMENT
The War Department is charged with the primary
responsibihty of organizing, equipping, training, and
maintaining the Anny. This responsibihty is discharged
by the War Department under conditions, and to the
extent, prescribed by the Congress and tlie President.
The Army of tlie United States consists of the following
components: the Regular Army, the National GuaM of
the United States, the National Guard while in the serv-
ice of the United States, the Officers' Reserve Corps, the
Organized Reserves, and the Enlisted Reserve Corps.
At the present time, those on active duty are largely the
Regular Army, members of the Officere' Reserve Corps,
and a large number of officers and enlisted men volun-
teering for the emergency or inducted through the Selec-
tive Service System. In past years, explanations made
to the Congress of the functions of the Army components
have emphasized that, in tune of peace, these elements
constitute the framework upon which a wartime military
organization may be readily built. This remains true.
However, the advent of new weapons capable of striking
across vast distances without warning requires that this
framework also be self-sufficient to repulse the initial
blow of an attacker. The following text reviews the
financial program for the fiscal year 1947 and the pro-
posed military budget for fiscal year 1948.
FISCAL YEAR 1947
The War Department budget estimates for fiscal year
1947 were based upon a number of optimistic assmnptions.
Several of these assumptions have failed to materialize.
Others have not developed to the extent predicted. For
example: Peace treaties have not been concluded; the
disposal of property declared surplus to the needs of the
War Department has not progressed as rapidly as as-
sumed; many more displaced persons than anticipated
WAR DEPARTMENT
827
had to be cared for by the armies of occupation. In
addition, significant modifications in the financial pro-
gram were required in the interests of economy. The
problems thus created for the War Department were made
more difficult by general salary increases authorized at
the beginning of the year, wliich, for the most part, will
be absorbed within the available appropriations. It is
estimated, however, that supplemental appropriations in
the amount of $556,281,000 wiU be required for pay of the
Army and $300,000,000 for government and relief in oc-
cupied areas for fiscal year 1947.
MILITARY BUDGET PROGRAM, FISCAL YEAR 1948
The War Department estimates for the fiscal year 1948,
contemplate the appropriation of $5,716,791,500 and con-
tract authority for $280,000,000. This total is the mmi-
mum considered necessary to provide for:
(a) Operation of the military activities of the War
Department.
(b) Operation, training, and maintenance of the militaiy
forces overseas and m the United States.
(c) Maintenance of requu-ed command mstallations and
Ai-my facilities on a scale commensurate with present and
projected usage.
(d) Procm-ement to the extent necessary to maintain
the required flow of essential supplies and equipment.
(e) Maintenance in stand-by of the Government-owned
mdustrial facilities approved for retention as reserve
capacity.
In addition, supplemental estimates for the appropria-
tion of $225,000,000 to provide for construction at posts,
camps, and stations in the United States and overseas, to
the extent necessary in the interests of health, safety,
training, research, and to relieve the critical housing
shortage, will be submitted at such time as authorizing
legislation is enacted by the Congress.
The budget estmiates provide for a man-year strength
of the Army of 1,070,000 during fiscal year 1948, including
noneffectives. Of the total man-year strength, it is
anticipated that 500,000 wiU be overseas during fiscal year
1948, and 570,000 will be in the United States.^ Personnel
assigned to the Army Air Forces will total approxunately
400,000 throughout the fiscal year. The Army strength
of 1,070,000 is considered to be the minimmn necessary
to perform the Amiy's missions during fiscal year 1948.
The War Department's budget estimates for fiscal year
1948 may be divided functionally as follows:
Funds in the amount of $850,000,000 and contract
authority for $280,000,000 are required for the support
of the Ai'my Au' Forces 70-group progi-am, to the extent
that 55 groups wiU be active and 15 groups will be skele-
tonized. The active groups will be at approximately 80
percent strength. The equipment modernization pro-
gram will be continued in the fields of bombers and
fighters only.
To carry out the military operations of the Corps of
Engineers and for the maintenance at a minimum level
of existing structures and facilities both overseas and in
the United States, $365,000,000 is required.
A total of $190,840,000 is for the purpose of supporting
the programs of the National Guard, Organized Reserves,
and Reserve Officers' Training Corps. These components
are, in part, vital elements of the M-day force, immediately
available for the defense of the United States in an
emergency.
Funds totahng $3,384,381,000 are to defray the cost
of pay, food, clothing, and essential supplies for the
military forces.
Funds totaling $400,000,000 are for the activities of
the Transportation Corps in moving persoimel and equip-
ment tliroughout the far-flung areas where our soldiers
are now stationed.
The operations of the Ordnance Department in the
care and preservation of ordnance equipment, the opera-
tion of ordnance depots and testing facilities, and the pro-
curement of improved equipment will amount to $275,-
044,000.
Funds amounting to $90,000,000 are required for the
operation of the Signal Corps and to maintain the essential
communications of the Army, both in the United States
and overseas bases.
The cost of medical service, the procurement of medical
supplies, and the operation of medical facilities is esti-
mated at $75,000,000.
Funds for Atomic Service activities and for government
and relief in occupied areas are not included in the esti-
mates for the Military Establishment. The budget esti-
mates for Atomic Service, previously included in the
estimates of the Military Establishment, are to be in-
cluded in estimates for the Atomic Energy Coumussion
and the estimates for government and relief in occupied
areas are included under civil functions of the War
Department.
Civil Functions of the War Department
general statement
The civil functions administered by the War Depart-
ment consist of a group of activities only indirectly related
to the active ^Military Establishment and are gathered
under a separate head in the Budget to distinguish them
from Ai-my activities.
Appropriations for the Panama Canal are included in
this chapter of the Budget, because the Panama Canal,
while not a part of the War Department, is under direct
supervision of the Secretary of War.
QUARTERMASTER CORPS
The Secretary of War has the responsibility for acquir-
ing land for and maintaining national cemeteries and
marking the graves of veterans. These activities have
been delegated to the Quartermaster General and are
financed by the appropriation "Cemeterial expenses."
The increase of $1,774,000 reflects the preparation of
additional burial sites for World War II dead to be re-
turned from overseas, deferred maintenance, and addi-
tional headstones.
SIGNAL CORPS
The Signal Corps of the Army maintains a communica-
tion system between the United States and Alaska and
within Alaska, which handles commercial messages.
The system connects with approximately 300 telephone or
radio stations which are commercially operated or operated
by other Government agencies. In 1948 the Alaska Com-
munication System plans to operate 35 stations in Alaska
and one in Seattle.
CORPS OF ENGINEERS
The Corps of Engineers, United States Army, mider the
supervision of the Secretary of War, is responsible for
maintenance and improvement of rivers, harbors, and
828
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
watei'ways of the Nation in the interest of navigation,
control of floods, and related hydroelectric power develop-
ment.
Navigation works. — The funds for maintenance and
operation of completed works and for surveys of modifi-
cations and further improvements thereof included in the
1948 budget estimates amount to $76,042,000. This
amount is necessary to operate and maintain navigation
facilities and to permit initiation of needed major repairs
and alterations postponed dm-ing the war.
The funds include $23,452,000 for improvement work
and $2, .500, GOO for advance plannmg.
Flood control.- — In 1917 the Corps of Engineers, in com-
pliance with an act of Congress, extended its work in
connection with rivers and harbors to include the under-
taking of flood-control works on the lower Mississippi
River and the Sacramento River, Calif.
The authorization for appropriation for flood protection
and improvement of navigation on the lower Mississippi
River is S1,02(),G09,500, exclusive of maintenance, of which
about $479,7(34,600 remains to be provided. The funds
proposed for the fiscal year 1948 provide for maintenance
of the navigation channel and flood-control works and for
continuation of the improvement project.
The estimated Federal cost of the Sacramento River
flood-control project is $40,850,000, of which $33,195,000
has been appropriated. The estimate of $1,000,000 for
fiscal year 1948 is to continue construction of the author-
ized improvement.
In 1936 Congress adopted a national flood control policy
and assigned responsibility for Federal investigations and
improvements in connection therewith to the Corps of
Engineers. The amount of $152,584,000 is included in
the 1948 Budget estimates for continuing work on 59
flood-control projects. In addition, $4,000,000 is included
for advance planning; $3,272,000 for maintenance, opera-
tion, and repair of completed projects; and $3,500,000 for
surveys.
Veterans' hospitals. — The Veterans' Administration has
arranged to have the Corps of Engineers, United States
Army, assume responsibility for the preparation of plans
for and the construction of its new hospitals. The 1946
and 1947 programs, consistmg of 76 hospitals with a total
bed capacity of 39,470 at an estimated planning and con-
struction cost of approximately $656,000,000 (exclusive of
$16,000,000 to be utilized by the Veterans' Administration
for site acquisition and technical services), has already been
assigned to the Corps of Engineers. The proposed 1948
program consists of 15 additional hospitals with a total
bed capacity of 11,900 at an estimated planning and
construction cost of approximatelv $203,000,000 (exclu-
sive of $12,000,000 to be utilized l)y the Veterans' Admin-
istration for site acquisition and technical services).
GOVERNMENT AND RELIEF IN OCCUPIED AREAS
An amount of $725,000,000 has been included in the
Budget for this activity in fiscal year 1948.
UNITED STATES SOLDIERS* HOME
The United States Soldiers' Home at Washington,
D. C, provides domicilary and medical care for former
soldiers of the Regular Army who qualify for admission
under physical and age eligibility requirements. The
estimated membership at the Home for 1948 is 1,438
members, an increase of 88.
The 1948 estimate for maintenance and operation of
the Home is 43 percent greater tlian the prior year
appropriation. The increased funds for 1948 are princi-
pally for expansion of existing facilities, preparation of
plans for future enlargement of the Home, continuation
of the program of rehabilitation of equipment and struc-
tures, and salary increases similar to that granted Federal
employees.
The Panama Canal
Appropriations for the Panama Canal provide funds
for the maintenance and operation of the Panama Canal
and for sanitation and government of the Canal Zone.
While the summary table shows an increase in appro-
priations of $2,970,000 for 1948, this does not reflect the
work-load in the Canal Zone. The total, gross obliga-
tions for 1948 are estimated at $67,965,640 compared to
$71,123,824 in 1947, a decrease of $3,158,184. The total
reimbursements and receipts (exclusive of tolls and reve-
nues covered directly into the Treasury) are estimated
at $42,557,135 in 1948 compared to $43,495,103 in 1947,
a drop of $937,968.
This leaves a total net obligation for 1948 of only
$25,408,505 compared to $27,628,719 in 1947, a decrease
of $2,220,214. Revenues covered directly into the
Treasury are estimated at $19,907,872 in 1948 and $18,-
796,652 in 1947, an increase of $1,101,220.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Comparative Summary of Appropriations and Appropriation Estimates
[Appropriations for 1947 did not make provision for certain legislation enacted in the latter part of the last regular session, nor for certain unforeseen costs arising since that time due
to circumstances virtually beyond administrative control. To the extent that such expenses cannot be absorbed within presently available funds, supplemental appropriations
will be required. The latest estimates of amounts so required are shown in the detail schedules for the various appropriation titles and in a separate column of the table below]

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
General Statement
The Federal district, designated as the District of
Cokimbia, constitutes a pohtical entity in which are
exercised not only municipal but also county and State
functions, such as public education, administration of
justice, maintenance of a unit of the National Guard,
promotion of family welfare, care of the indigent, custody
of mental defectives and delinquents, protection of the
interests of labor, metropolitan area planning, etc. While
the municipal functions are administered principally by
the Board of Commissioners, District of Columbia, most
■of the county and State functions are carried on by other
agencies, some local and some Federal in character.
In contrast to this diversity of District administration,
Congress only, under the Constitution, is empowered "to
exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever" on
behalf of the District of Columbia as the seat of govern-
ment of the United States, acting in municipal matters as a
city council and in dealing with the broader aspects of the
government of the District of Columbia as a county board
and a State legislature. In this connection. Congress
enacts the District's revenue measures and appropriates
the money thus raised to carry on the government of the
District of Columbia. Under the law, the District esti-
mates of appropriation are submitted to the Bureau of the
Budget for incorporation in the Budget of the United
States. Furthermore, while District revenues from all
sources are covered into the United States Treasury and
credited to either the general fund, the highway fund, the
water fund, or some trust fund, no expenditure can be
made from any of these funds, other than trust funds,
without specific appropriation by Congress. The Bureau
of the Budget does not examine the estimates of the
District of Columbia in minute detail, but confines its
attention more to matters of policy which concern the
Federal Government and present and proposed revenue
measures required to balance the District budget.
The estimates of revenues for the general, highway,
water, and trust funds are found in Supporting Statement
No. 1. Estimates of appropriation for the same funds are
shown on Supporting Statement No. 2. Attention is also
directed to the summary of estima-tes of appropriation at
the beginning of this chapter.
general FUND
Revenues accruing to the general fund of the District of
Columbia are used to finance the administrative offices,
schools, libraries, health, recreation, sanitation, welfare,
corrections, certain pubhc works, and other operating
activities. These revenues are realized from real, per-
sonal, and other property taxes; sales and gross receipts;
taxes on alcoholic beverages, business privileges, insur-
ance, public utilities, and other business; licenses and
permits; individual and corporation income taxes; inherit-
ance and estate ta.xes; certain earnings and miscellaneous
revenues; and the Federal contribution. The largest
item of revenue in the general fund comes from realty and
personal property taxes and, including proposed new
taxes, amounts to approximately 42 percent of the total.
The levy is based on an estimated assessed valuation of
$1,725,000,000, taxed at the rate of $1.75 per $100. The
estimated valuation is $140,000,000 higher in 1948 than
for the current fiscal year. The Federal contribution is
estimated at $8,000,000, which is the same amount as was
appropriated in fiscal year 1947.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
901
The estimate of general-fund revenues on the present
tax base for the fiscal year 1948, including the Federal
contribution of $8,000,000 and the sale of $1,376,200 in
securities, totals $65,926,200, which amount is $11,300,000
less than the estimated obligations for 1948. To this end,
the District Commissioners have approved proposed legis-
lation for raising additional revenues to balance the
budget. This legislation would broaden the tax base on
individual incomes and alcoholic beverages and provide
for new taxes on sales, cigarettes, amusements, public
utility bills, and unincorporated business income. It is
estimated that this proposed legislation will increase
general-fund revenues by $11,300,000 in fiscal 1948, if
enacted into law by July 1', 1947. However, it is ex-
pected that the new Icgislatipn will produce approximately
$17,750,000 a year when fully effective. The balancing
of the general-fund budget for the fiscal year 1948, there-
fore, depends upon congressional approval of the new tax
legislation or disapproval of a sizable part of the appro-
priation requests.
General-fund estimates of appropriation for 1948 show
an over-all increase of approximately 6 percent over 1947
estimates. This increase is reflected largely in libraries,
recreation, police and fire, com'ts, health, welfare and
corrections, park service, and public works programs.
In addition to regular appropriations, some new contract
authorizations for public schools are requested.
Highway Fund
Highway-fund revenues are realized from a gasoline
tax, automotive registration and weight tax, motor-
vehicle fees of various types, and paving assessments.
The estimated revenues from these sources at existing
rates for the fiscal year 1948, plus available surpluses,
total $7,547,878, which will be $1,662,422 less than the
amount of the estimated obligations. To meet this
deficit and balance the 1948 highway-fund budget, the
Commissioners are proposing legislation to increase the
gasohne tax 1 cent per gallon and double motor vehicle
inspection fees.
While there is a small decrease in the 1948 estimates
of appropriation from the highway fund for debt service
and the Trees and Parking Division, the over-all esti-
mates show an increase of 18 percent over 1947 estimates.
The increases are for operating expenses and capital out-
lays for the Street and Bridge Divisions, for salaries and
expenses of the Department of Vehicles and Traffic, and
for reimbursements of other appropriations from the
highway fund. In addition to the regular appropriation
estimates, some new contract authorizations for the
Street and Bridge Divisions are included.
Water Fund
Water-fund revenues are derived from the sale of water
to residents of the District of Columbia and to Arlington
County, Va.; from water-main assessments; from interest
on investments; and from miscellaneous receipts. Total
revenues for the fiscal year 1948, including surplus funds
and sales of investment securities, are estimated at $4,129,-
260, which will be $4,516,740 less than the estimated
obligations.
The estimates of appropriation for fiscal 1948 from the
water fund, excluding contract authorizations, amount to
$8,646,000 and exceed estimates for the fiscal year 1947
by $3,214,336 for an increase of approximately 59 percent.
Capital outlays amounting to $5,693,000 account for
approximately 66 percent of the fiscal year 1948 estimates,
as compared with 48 percent of the 1947 estimates.
These capital-outlay projects will provide important im-
provements in the District water distribution system and
the Washington Aqueduct. In addition to these appro-
priation estimates, new contract authorizations for the
Washington Aqueduct are included in the budget request.
To cover the substantia] deficit indicated in the water
fund for fiscal 1948, the District Commissioners are pro-
posing legislation requiring payment from the Federal
Government and the District of Columbia general fund
for the water used by Government agencies and institu-
tions and authorizing long-term loans for capital improve-
ments in the water system from the United States Treas-
uty. This is expected to produce an additional nnnual
revenue for the water fund amounting to a net of $983,000,
of which the Federal Government will pay $886,000 and
the District Government $97,000. Under this proposed
legislation, the remainder of the indicated deficit may be
financed by borrowing from the Federal Treasury as the
cash is needed. It is not expected that any funds will
need to be borrowed under this proposed arrangement
during fiscal 1948.
Trust Funds
Revenues and expenditures of trust funds are shown in
Supporting Statements Nos. 1 and 2. The balances in
these funds are expected to continue without much
change. The District unemployment trust fund l)alance
constitutes a greater part of tlie total of these funds.

INTRODUCTION TO PART III
Pari III of the Budget coutaiiis a summary narrative
and financial statements for all wholly owned Government
corporations and fom- noncorporate operations supervised
by the Federal Public Housing Authority. Net expendi-
tures or net receipts in checking accounts with the
Treasm'er of the United States of these corporations and
credit agencies have been discussed in the Budget Message
of the President. In this section of the Budget these same
activities are reflected in business-type budgets which
portray the operations of Government corporations in
considerable detail and from a somewhat different per-
spective.
The financial statements in this part of the Budget
present tlu-ee main aspects of corporation budgeting: (1)
comparative statements of the sources and application of
funds reflect the total volume of transactions of corpora-
tions; (2) comparative statements of income and expenses
disclose the estimated profit or loss which accrues during
a given year; and (3) comparative statements of financial
condition indicate at the end of each fiscal year the amount
and type of assets owned by corporations and the financial
mterest of the Government and others in such corporations.
In order to prepare financial statements which reflect
income and expenses, Goveriunent corporation accounts
are kept on the accrual basis, which is generally used by
private corporations. Under the accrual system of ac-
counting, liabilities are recorded in the accounts at the
time materials are received or services rendered, and ex-
penses are determined on the basis of the materials and
supplies used, or applied to, a particular year. Income
is recorded on the basis of the sales made and the services
rendered in any particular year, even though collections
may not be made until some later year.
The accrual method fuither requires the capitalization
of expenditures for fixed assets, such as buildings and
equipment, with annual charges for depreciation repre-
senting the portion of the total outlay considered as
expense for that year. Agencies financed by appropria-
tions, on the other hand, treat any outlay of funds, whether
for a fixed asset or for current expenses, as an expenditure
958
of funds agauist the appropriation for the year in which
the outlay takes place. Similarly, items of income and
expense are recognized as such in Government corpora-
tion accounting, whether or not cash settlements have
been made; such items are not recognized by noncor-
porate agencies imless there has been a cash settlement.
Corporation accounting also sets up values for inventories
of goods on hand. The cost of any goods which are sold
during the period can thus be" readUy determined by
adjusting the cost of goods purchased by amounts repre-
senting the change in inventoi'ies during the budget
period.
Another important difference between corporations and
noncorporate agencies of the Government is in the han-
dling of cash. Government corporations use the United
States Treasurer as they woldd a commercial banlv; some
of them use commercial banks, too. This practice en-
ables the corporations to deposit their receipts with the
Treasurer, as well as in commercial banlvs, subject to their
own check. In this way, a corporation engaged in making
loans can use receipts from loan repayments for disburse-
ment to new borrowers, and a corporation engaged in
selling commodities can use the proceeds of one sale to
buy additional commodities for subsequent resale with a
minimum of delay.
By contrast, receipts arising from the activities of non-
corporate agencies, as a general rule, are deposited in the
Treasury. They are not available to the agency for sub-
sequent disbursement unless special arrangements to that
eft'ect are stipulated in the appropriation act, and then
only after the Treasury has credited the funds to the
agency by the issuance of appropriate documents.
In summary, the Govermnent-owned corporation, like
the privately owned corporation, is an autonomous legal
entity which keeps its books on the accrual basis and con-
trols its own bank account. The noncorporate agency
financed by appropriated funds, on the other hand, keeps
its books on the obligation and cash basis and has access
to its own cash revenues only if given special authority.
SUMMARY NARRATIVE
The whollj' owned Governnaent corporations and credit
agencies whose budgets are presented in this section of the
Budget are financed in part by borrowing, in part by
appropriations and otlier authorizations for expenditures
from general and special accounts, in part by cfrawing on
cash balances held with tlie Treasurer o^ the United
States, and to a very small extent by \vithdrawals from
trust accounts.
Net Withdrawals From United States Treasurv
The net effects of these operations upon the checking
accounts carried with the Treasurer of the United States
are shown in net expenditures of corporation accounts,
which are incorporated into the budget expenditure totals
shown in the Budget Message of the President and in the
summary tables in part I. The accompanying table on
"Net withdrawals from the United States Treasiuy" gives
a more com]:)rehensive picture of the impact of the opera-
tions of corporations on the cash position of the Treasury
since it includes not only transactions in the corporation
accoimts, but also transactions in general and special
accounts and trust accounts arising from these programs.
It omits only transactions through checkmg accounts in
the commercial banks, ordinarily of minor importance.

' Offset by reduction in borrowings from the U. S. Treasury in equal amounts
In the aggregate, net withdrawals from the Treasmy
will amount to 1,310 million dollars in the fiscal year 1 948,
or roughly the 1947 level, but far above the 35 million
dollars withdrawn in 1946. In contrast to the higli levels
of expenditures in 1946 from appropriations — chiefly to
provide for. postwar price support of farm products — and
in 1947 — chiefly for veterans' housing — receipts from
programs directly financed by appropriations in the fiscal
year 1948 \\'ill slightlj' exceed expenditures. Similarly, the
large general and special account expenditures for sub-
scription to capital stock — chiefly stock of the Export-
Import Bank — in 1946 and 1947 will be replaced in 1948
by substantial repayments — primarily by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation for the accounts of the
Smaller War Plants Corporation and the War Damage
Corporation.
In the fiscal year 1948 restoration of capital impair-
ment of the Commodity Credit Corporation will require
general and special account expenditures of 830 million
dollars through cancellation of the Corporation's notes,
9 1 million dollars less than in the current year.
As the result of the greatly reduced expenditures from
general and special accounts to finance their programs,
corporations in the fiscal year 194S wiU no longer make
net repayments to the Treasury on their borrowings, as
in 1946 and 1947, but will borrow an estimated total of
922 million dollars. This change from financing by ap-
propriations to borrowing from the Treasury is the reason
for practically all of the increase m net expenditures from
corporation accounts in 1948 over 1947 sho^vn in the sum-
mary tables in part I.
Sources and Application of Funds
Alost corporation programs involve a considerable
turn-over of funds. The total volume of corporate
activity, however, was larger diuing the war and immedi-
ate postAvar years than it is likely to be in later years.
In fact, the total volume of funds applied is estimated to
decline in the fiscal year 1948 to 11,434 million dollars
from a level of over 14,735 million dollars in 1946 and
1947. Apart from the changes in debt operations, this
reflects a decline in the amount of commodities puichased,
subsidies paid, and additions to fixed assets. Most sub-
sidy programs have already been eliminated, and onlj"- 13
million dollars is expected to be spent in 1948. On the
other hand, loans of Government corporations will expand
in 1948 — chiefly because of expansion in Reconstruction
Finance Corporation loans for rural electrification,
together with pm-chases of mortgages guaranteed by the
Veterans' Administration and the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, and an increase in direct and guaranteed
loans on agricultui-al commodities for price-supporti
purposes.
In addition to the general expansion in loan activity in
1948, important changes will occur between various pay-
ments and receipts. New loans of 4,310 million dollars
will exceed repayments on old loans by even more than
in 1947. Purchases of commodities for price support or
other longer term investment will be larger than sales of
commodities, whereas the major part of the commodities
purchased in earlier years was liquidated in 1946 and 1947.
On the other hand, funds received by the sale of fixed
assets, while declming, will exceed additions to fixed assets.
In 1947, as the result of the veterans' re-use housing pro-
gram, additions to fixed assets were much larger than
receipts from sales.

Important shifts are also anticipated in the financing of
corporations. In 1946 there was a net repayment of
borrowings by the corporations and credit agencies, ac-
companied by a net increase in Treasiuy capital sub-
scriptions of 536 million dollars. By 1948, as mdicated in
the earlier discussion, corporations will borrow more than
they will repay, most of this from the Treasury rather than
the public. At the same time, they will return capital
funds to the Treasui-y in the net amount of 418 million
dollars. To a large extent, thus, corporations and credit
agencies in 1948 will be retu-ing Ti-easmy capital, but at
the same time increasing theu' borrowings from the
Treasmy.
Besides the changes in borrowing and repayment of
capital funds, corporations will be supplied with 883
million dollars of Treasm-y funds, thi'ough appropriation
or cancellation of notes^ — 109 million dollars less than in
1947.
Income and Expenses
The consolidated income and expense statement reflects
the transition from war to peacetime activities. With the
diminishing scope of the corporation programs, total in-
come will decline from 3,390 million dollars in the fiscal
year 1946 to 1,403 million dollars in 1948. Total expenses
will fall even more. As a result, the net loss for all corpo-
ration programs is estimated at 944 million dollars in the
fiscal year 1948 before reserve adjustments, or Jess than
half the net loss in the current year. After adjustments,
the estimated net loss will be 351 million dollars in 1948,
compared to 3,187 million dollars in 1947 and 3,655 million
dollars in 1946.

The sharp decline in net loss since 1946 results,primarily
from the virtual elimination of subsidies and contribu-
tions, which amounted to 1,872 million dollars in that
year. Losses and charge-offs, chiefly on sales and dis-
positions of war plants and preclusive buying operations,
totaling 1,619 million dollars in the current fiscal year,
will fall to 908 million dollars in 1948. Reutilization
costs of housing transferred to the veterans' housing pro-
gram win drop from the peak of 505 million dollars in the
present year to 80 million dollars in 1948. Moreover,
while net additions to reserves amounted to 2,311 million
dollars in the fiscal year 1946 and are estimated at 1,193
million dollars in the current fiscal year — chiefly against
defense plants and other war activities — in 1948 net
withdrawals of 593 million from those reserves help to
hold down net loss carried to surplus.
Sales of commodities and supplies (except agricultural
commodities) wifl fall sharply to 965 million dollars in
the fiscal year 1948; transactions with occupied countries
are the largest remaining item. This compares with 910
million dollars in direct costs of commodities and supplies
sold. The net gain on the sale of agricultural commodi-
ties in the fiscal year 1946, however, will be much lower
this year, and in 1948 a net loss of 83 miUion dollars is
forecast.
With the sale of defense plants and war housing, rentals
will decline to 156 million dollars in the fiscal year 1948.
Income from this source together with 76 million dollars
from sales of power, transportation, and other services,
however, will exceed by 72 million dollars direct operating
expenses of these programs.
Interest and dividend income of 206 million dollars,
largely from the expanded volume of loans, also will
materially exceed interest expense of 125 million dollars on
all corporation programs. This reflects in part the
low interest rate currently charged by the Federal
GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS
961
Government on borrowing by corporations from the
Treasury. Insurance premiums of 52 million dollars will
exceed expected losses and claims of 41 million dollars.
Administrative expenses of 97 million dollars will con-
tinue at approximately present levels.
Financial Condition
During the current fiscal year, the book value of assets
of Government corporations will fall from 15,642 million
dollars on June 30, 1946, to 11,843 million dollars on
June 30, 1947. By June 30, 1948, it is expected to in-
crease to 12,405 million dollars. The book value of land,
structures, and equipment, on June 30, 1948, will fall to
3,223 million dollars, both through liquidation and estab-
lishment of valuation reserves, largely in the fiscal years
1946 and 1947. The decline in book value of commodities,
supplies, and materials will continue at a slower rate as
the result of further liquidation of strategic and critical
materials, both by sale to the public and transfers to the
military stock pile.

By contrast, outstanding loans of Government corpo-
rations will show a considerable increase during the fiscal
year 1948. By June 30, 1948, loans receivable will be
6,825 million dollars as compared with 3,474 million dol-
lars on June 30, 1946. This involves an expansion in loan
activity for practically all economic groups served by
corporations: home owners, agriculture, industry, and
local and foreign governments. Outstanding loans to
foreign governments and for foreign trade will increase
by 705 million dollars in fiscal year 1948 to 2,872 million
dollars at the end of the year. This increase in 1948 is
not as large as the 1,200-million-dollar increase in the
current fiscal year.
Investments will decline moderately to 657 million
dollars on June 30, 1948. Over half of these are invest-
ments in United States Government securities, largely
held by agricidtm-al corporations. Preferred stocks and
debentures of banks and trust companies held by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation will decline by 101
million dollars in the 2-year period.
The total liabilities and capital reflect the investment of
the Government and private investors in securities of
Government corporations, and the cumulative sm-plus or
deficit from corporation activities. The voliune of bonds,
notes, and debentures payable will increase in 1948 to
12,923 million dollars. All but 565 million dollars is held
by the Federal Government. The amount held by the
public has been steadily declining.
In this summary statement, paid-in capital and surplus
includes not only the original capital investment by the
Treasury in Government corporations but also appropri-
ations from the general fund of the Treasury for specific
programs related to corporate activity, and appropriations
to restore capital impairment, or cancellation of notes
owned by the Treasury (which has the same eft'ect as
restoration of capital). Over the period from June 30,
1946, to June 30, 1948, the paid-in capital and surplus will
increase from 5,201 million dollars to 8,568 million dollars.
Paid-in capital and surplus is more than oft'set by the
cmnulative deficit which will amount to 10,689 million
dollars on June 30, 1948, predominantly from the war
activities of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

INTRODUCTION TO PART IV
Part IV of the Budget presents the four special articles
separately listed and discussed below. The article en-
titled, "The Government's Budget and the Nation's
Budget" which appeared in the 1947 Budget has been
transferred this year to the Economic Report of the
President. The table summarizing the Federal Govern-
ment program, as reflected by payments to and receipts
from the public, appears in part I of this Budget as
table 18.
Functional Classification
The first article in part IV describes the new functional
classification of expenditures and appropriations which
is used for the first time in this Budget.
Federal Activities in Public Works
This section covers Federal outlays for public works
planning and construction, including grants and loans to
State and local public bodies as well as direct Federal
outlays for such purposes. The concept of Federal public
works used herein cuts across functions and funds. Out-
lays of general and special accounts for both national
defense and civil works activities, including loans and
grants and outlays of Government corporations, are
shown on a gross basis in the tables and adjusted to a net
basis in the totals.
Items are shown at the appropriation level, except in a
few instances where construction forms a substantial
portion of an appropriation which is not generally public
works in character. Where appropriations contain both
maintenance and new construction, maintenance has not
been excluded.
The War Program
This article describes various aspects of the war and
defense program. Table A shows the status of the cumu-
lative authorized war and national defense program from
July 1, 1940, tlu'ough June 30, 1947, for selected periods.
Table B shows semiannual war expenditures, classified by
agency, on the daily Treasury statement basis. Table C
compares national defense expenditures for the fiscal years
1946 and 1947 with those under the more extensive prior
national defense category.
Explanation of the Estimates of Receipts
This statement, explaining the estimates of general and
special account receipts has been prepared by the Treas-
ury Department.
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
As a means of improving the budgetary data respecting
the proorams of the Federal Government, a revised func-
tional classification of expenditures and appropriations is
introduced in this Budget. By grouping together items
which are functionally related, regardless of the agency
which is responsible, this type of classification provides
for the Congress and the public a useful summary of
what the Goi^ernment is domg, or expects to do, and, in
general, focuses upon the ultimate purpose which the
Government programs are designed to serve.
The new system of categories is the framework for dis-
cussion of specific programs in the Budget Message. A
brief table for each function is included in the Message.
These tables are consistent with the comprehensive func-
tional data in the resume, table 1 (expenditures) and table
2 (appropriations). They are supported by greater detail
in the other tables in part I of the Budget. Historical
perspective is afforded by a 10-ycar comparison on the
new basis in appendix 6.
CHANGES INTRODUCED
The overhauling of the basic classification for expendi-
tures and appi'opriations comes at a time when some
change was recjuired in any case because the cessation of
hostilities dictated a shift of many activities from "Na-
tional defense" to peacetime functions. Accordingly, the
new category "National defense" is narrower than the old
"National defense."
The new classification provides, for the first time, sepa-
rate summaries of various major programs of Govern-
ment— "Housing and community facilities," "Education
and general research," "Natural resources," "Transporta-
tion and communication," "Finance, commerce, and in-
dustry," and "Labor." In addition, many new subcate-
gories provide siunmaries of selected segments of these
and other general fields.
"Public works" no longer appears as a separate category
in the functional classification. Instead, public works
are distributed among the functions which they serve.
A special analysis in part IV cuts across functional lines
and brings together all Federal pubhc works.
Identification of more program areas reduces the cate-
gory "General government" which now is limited, with a
few exceptions, to activities and expenditures which can-
not be allocated among the more specific functions but
relate to the Govermnent as a whole.
The former classification, although primarily functional,
suffered from inclusion of some items which more properly
belong in a classification by organization units, and
others — particularly public works — which more properly
belong in a classification which distinguishes between
outlays for capital and for current operation. The new
classification goes a long way toward securing an inclusive
total for each designated function.
LIMITATIONS OF NEW^ CLASSIFICATION
Strictly accm'ate totals for each function are still not
possible for two reasons:
(1) The new classification treats each appropriation as
a unit. Since the expenditures and appropriations must
add to a grand total, each appropriation may be classified
only once; and at the risk of being somewhat arbitrary,
it must be classified according to its predominant char-
acteristics. Thus, the appropriation "Forest roads and
trails" (Agriculture) has been classified under "Provision
of highways," and not under "Conservation and develop-
ment of forest resom-ces" where it might also belong.
Similarly, expenditures for veterans' hospitals have been
included under "Veterans' services and benefits" although
they might have been classified as "Promotion of public
health." To secure a comprehensive total for a concept
such as education, veterans, or health, for example, it
would be necessary to provide a special tabulation count-
ing more than once some appropriations which might be
ecjually relevant to more than one subject.
(2) Because the new classification treats an appropria-
tion as the smallest unit to be classified, some error is
introduced in those cases where a single appropriation
item relates to more than one functional category. The
appropriation item is the unit used by the Congress in
authorizing appropriations. In any one year, there are
some 2,000 appropriations for which separate accounts are
kept by the agencies. Some are general and comprehen-
sive; others are narrow and quite specific. In most cases
an appropriation item falls naturally into a single func-
tional category, but there are many exceptions. Except
in the case of certain transfers between agencies, no
attempt has been made at this time to split any appro-
priation item between functions, because this would re-
quire extensive accounting and procedural refinements.
The resulting error probably is not great, but studies are
in progress to measure its magnitude and, if it is significant,
to improve the analysis in later years.
No single system of classification will ever provide all
the answers for a complicated set of figures such as those
in the Budget of the United States. The objective should
be to have several cross-cutting classifications, each devel-
oped on a logical basis. Thus part I of this Budget in-
cludes summary and detailed tables showing a classifica-
tion of expenditures and appropriations by agencies of
the Government and by type of accomit. Other tables
utilize the new functional classification which cuts across
the classification by agencies. Part II of the Budget
includes many obligation schedules presenting data classi-
fied on the basis of objects of expenditure.
It would also be useful to present a classification by
character (distinguishing cmrent from capital expenses).
The special tabulation of public works in part IV is a
step toward introducing a character classification into the
reporting system.
In order to assist the reader to know how each indi-
vidual appropriation is classified, table 10 — which is
arranged by agency — shows the code number according
to fimction. The general outline of the functional classi-
fication with code numbers is as follows:

ment has been distributed among the categories.

NATIONAL DEFENSE
The new "National defense" category represents 45,012
million dollars compared with 48,870 million dollars in
the old "National defense." The new category is limited
to activities which are properly defense in peacetime.
Some aftermath-of-war activities continue in the new
category, especially for terminal leave pay, for example.
But as far as possible, contuiuing and regular activities
are sho-mi with the peacetime activities to which they
belong. Thus, the construction activities of the Mari-
time Commission are now -included with "Promotion of
the merchant marine," UNRRA with "Foreign rehef,"
training for nurses with "Promotion of pubhc health,"
FBI with "Crime control and correction," defense hous-
ing mth "Public housmg programs," defense public works
with "Provision of community facilities," Office of Scien-
tific Research and Development mth "General-purpose
research," supply and distribution of farm labor with
"Development and improvement of agriculture," OPA
with "Promotion or regulation of trade and industry,"
disposal of surplus property with "Other general govern-
ment." The special analysis of the war program in part
IV shows the distribution of what were formerly national •
defense items among the categories of the new "functional
classification and thus provides a bridge between the old
and new "National defense."
SPECIAL ANALYSES AND TABLES
1355
VETERANS SERVICES AND BENEFITS
The new "Veterans' services and benefits" category is
larger than the old "Veterans' pensions and benefits"
largely because public works for veterans' use — hospitals
and other veterans' facilities — now appear along with
other expenditures for veterans.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AND FINANCE
The new "International aft'airs and finance" classifica-
tion is larger than the old "International finance" for the
obvious reason that to the previous international lending
program have been added the regular activities of the
State Department, together with international activities
of other agencies which are separately identified in the
appropriations. Furthermore, activities previously classi-
fied as "National defense" — principally UNRKA and
Philippme rehabilitation — have been added.
SOCIAL WELFARE, HEALTH, AND SECURITY
The new "Social welfare, health, and security" classifi-
cation is larger than the old "Social security, relief and
retirement." T^'hile social security grants are included in
both categories, social security administration has been
transferred from the old "General government" for in-
clusion in the new "Social welfare, health, and security."
The Government payment toward the Federal civilian
employees' general retirement system is shifted to "Gen-
eral government," since it is a part of the overhead ex-
penses of the Government. (In discussing trust accounts,
however, the Federal employees' retirement funds are
included in "Social welfare, health, and security," since
they are similar in purpose to the social-insurance pro-
grams.) A number of items formerly in "National
defense" — such as training for nurses and the emergency
maternal and child-welfare program — now appear in
"Social welfare, health, and secui-ity." Three new sub-
functions have been added. These are "Promotion of
public health" and "Crime control and correction," both
of which were formerly in "General government," and
"Community-welfare services," which was largely in
"National defense."
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES
"Housing and community facilities" is a new category.
The components were previously largely in "General
government," "Other activities (corporations)," and
"National defense." In addition, large estimated outlays
in 1947 and smaller amoimts in 1946 for veterans' ro-iise
housing were formerly classified under "General public
works program." The category does not include such
related programs as the home loan guarantee program of
the Veterans' Administration, and rent controls and other
activities of the Office of Temporary Controls and its pred-
ecessors. In 1946, the war housing expenditures are net
of large receipts, but in later yeai's they are on a gross
basis.
EDUCAIION AND GENERAL RESEARCH
"Education and general research" is a new category
which did not appear separately in the old classification.
The components were in "National defense" and "Gen-
eral government." This new category does not, however,
include veterans' education benefits, nor does it include
research programs which are specifically related to other
fimctional categories. For example, the large research
and development expenditures made by the War and Navy
Departments and by the Atomic Energy Commission are
in other categories although they comprise much research
of a basic character.,
AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
The new "Agriculture and agricultural resources"
classification is substantially larger than the old "Aids to
agriculture," because the old category was limited in the
main to financial-aid programs in general and special
accounts. It did not include transactions in checkmg
accomits of agricultiu-al corporations, which include food
subsidies, loans by the Reconstruction Finance Corpora-
tion to the Rural Electrification Administration, and other
loan and investment programs. The administrative and
service programs of the Department of Agriculture were
largely in "General government," while extensive activities
designed to facilitate the war program including RFC
food subsidies were in "National defense." In addition,
some activities formerly classified as "General public
works" are in the new category.
NATURAL RESOURCES NOT PRIMARILY AGRICULTURAL
"Natural resources not primarily agricultural" is a new
group which did not show up separately m the earlier
classification. The largest part of the total was in "Gen-
eral public works," with a substantial amount in "General
government" and some in "National defense."
TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION
"Transportation and communication" is another new
category of which by far the largest part was the con-
struction fund of the Maritime Conmiission, previously
"National defense." "General public works" and "Gen-
eral government" also included many of the items now m
this function.
FINANCE, COMMERCE, AND INDUSTRY
"Finance, commerce, and industry" is also new.
During the war the greater part of this category was for
salaries and expenses of war agencies and national defense
loans, formerly classified as "National defense." Some
items were in "General government" and "Other activities
(corporations) ."
LABOR
"Labor" likewise is a new category. Most of the items
were formerly in "National defense," and some in "Gen-
eral government."
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Except for inclusion of net expenditures of corporations
the new "General government" category is much nar-
rower than the old — on the basis of 1946 expenditures, 972
million dollars compai'ed with 1,308 million dollars. In
the new form, it includes: (1) legislative and judicial func-
tions and executive management and direction; (2) the
Government payment toward the Federal civilian em-
ployees' general retirement system; (3) other services
covered by appropriations which relate to more than one
function; and (4) a few special programs necessitated by
the war, for example, disposal of surplus property , which
do not logically belong in any other category and are
essentially general-purpose responsibilities of the Gov-
ernment.
Formal establishment of the new functional classifi-
cation for the information of the agencies and others
interested in Government reporting under the relevant
sections of Executive Order 8512 will be made m the n(>ai-
future.
FEDERAL ACTIVITIES IN PUBLIC WORKS
INTRODUCTION
Consistent with the new functional classification upon
which the Budget is presented this year, public works
activities are classified along with other governmental
activities under the functions which they serve. They
are brought together in this section to show in detail the
volume and character of Federal public works activities.
Federal public works provide the structures and facili-
ties which enable the Federal Government to carry out its
many and varied responsibilities. Prior to the Fu'st World
War, construction activities were limited largely to public
buildings for Government administration. Army and
Navy facilities, and river and harbor improvements.
Since that time there has been a steady expansion until
today Federal participation in public works extends to
such fields as the conservation and development of natural
resources, the promotion of transportation, the provision
of facilities for the public health and welfare, aids to
housing, as well as military and naval facilities, and public
buildings for administi-ative purposes. This participa-
tion includes both construction undertaken directly by
the Federal Government and Federal financial participa-
tion through grants and loans to public and quasi-public
bodies for construction.
The provision of public works is thus not an end in
itself, but is a means of making possible the fulfillment of
Federal responsibilities in the various programs. The
significant characteristic of public works is that they
provide capital assets from which benefits are derived
over a long period of time. Public works construction
therefore calls for careful scheduling over a period of
j^ears.
The coverage of this section is broader than that of the
"General Public Works Program" used in previous
Budgets and in the August 1946 Budget Review. With
few exceptions, it is comparable to the corresponding
special analysis on Federal Activities in Public Works
presented in part III of the 1947 Budget document.
TOTAL FEDERAL PUBLIC WORKS AND
CONSTRUCTION
In the fiscal year 1948, Federal public works and con-
struction continue the postwar trends established in fiscal
year 1947. Expenditures for civil works construction are
estimated to increase over those in fiscal year 1947,
whereas expenditures for military and naval construction
show a decline. The rates of change in 1948, however,
will not be as sharp as the rates of change from 1946 to
1947.

' Comparable expenditures under the "General public works" classification used in

Civil Public Works
The upward trend in expenditures for civil pubhc works
reflects the widespread resumption of public works con-
struction shortly after VJ-day, and the initiation of some
new construction programs authorized by the Seventy-
ninth Congress. In the last complete war year — fiscal
year 1945 — civil works expenditures were at a low level
of 300 million dollars. Even after wartime controls were
relaxed, construction activity was retarded in fiscal 1946
below the level contemplated because of high costs and
shortage of materials and equipment.
In the spring of 1946, the potential competitive effect
of a large increase in postwar construction — both pubhcly
and privately financed — on the home construction industry
was recognized. To divert scarce building material from
less essential construction to the veterans' emergency
housing program, an order was issued by the Civilian
Production Administration forbidding any new construc-
tion and repair work, either pubhc or private, unless
approved by the Civilian Production Administration or
the Housing Expediter. This order exempted most types
of federally financed construction, since these did not
compete directly ^v'ith housing for materials.
As demand for construction labor and materials in-
creased, it was necessary to restrict nearly all types of
Federal construction. In his midyear Budget Review, the
President announced a public works postponement policy
which, together with revisions in estimates as a result of
congressional action, was estimated to result in a reduc-
tion of 1947 expenditures for general public works from
the 1,600 million dollars estimated in last year's Budget
to 900 million dollars.
To effectuate this pohcy, he placed expenditure limita-
tions on the civil works program of the Corps of Engineers
and the construction activities of the Bureau of Reclama-
tion, and subsequently on most of the remaining public
works programs. In addition, the Office of War Mobili-
zation and Reconversion issued Directive 128 on August
5, which provided for a moratorium on the starting of
practically all new Federal public works and establishetl
a procedure for review and approval of such projects
prior to their starting between October 1, 1946, and April
1, 1947. By means of this directive, it will be possible
to limit the volume of work started prior to April 1, 1947,
to that urgently required.
A more complete review of the programs of the Corps
of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation indicated
the necessity for raising the expenditure limitations for
these two agencies to avoid cancellation of existing con-
tracts and to allow for construction progress on projects
under way at an efficient and economic rate. As a result
of these increases, and revisions subsequently made in
estimates of expenditures for programs not under expendi-
ture control, the estimated expenditure in fiscal year 1947
for Federal public works under the "General public works
program" category carried in the midyear Budget Review
was increased to 1,135 million dollars.
In addition to the programs making up the 1,135 million
dollars, there is included in table 1 below 567 million
dollars for items not previously shown as public works,
1358
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
making a total ior fiscal year 1947 of 1,702 million dollars.
The additional 567 million dollars is primarily for housing
and civil works financed with national defense funds.
The 1947 expenditures are essentiallj" as low as possible
consistent with meeting contract commitments. This
rather high level for 1947 sets, for the fiscal year 1948, a
base which is relatively fixed by existing firm commit-
ments and congressional authorizations establishing rates
of expenditure.
SIZE AND CH.1RACTKR OF THE 1948 PROGRAM
Federal civil works expenditm-es are estimated to reach
2,093 million dollars in fiscal year 1948 as compared with
the 1,702 million dollars in fiscal year 1947 described above.
Although relatively large, the program is limited in the
field of direct-Federal construction largely to continuation
of work on projects abeady appropriated for in previous
years. No new major developmental projects are recom-
mended. Construction of additional veterans' hospitals
is recommended, along with other activities where both
the need was demonstrated to be great and the construc-
tion period is relatively short. In the field of Federal
loans and grants to non-Federal agencies for construction,
the expenditures are based on commitments already made
or on the rate of progress established in the authorizing
legislation.
This upward trend is due to continue, and it is inevitable
that expenditm-es will be even higher in fiscal year 1949
than in 1948, unless action is taken to change the rate of
commitments now authorized for these programs.

' Including construction by the Corps of Engineers.
2 Companible expenditures under the "General public works" classification used in
the midyear Budget Review (August 1946) are 1,136 million dollars.
As indicated in the above table, the major portion of
expenditures in fiscal year 1948 will be for construction
of veterans' hospitals; resource development projects
by the Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation,
for irrigation, flood control, navigation, and power;
for grants to States by the Public Roads Administration for
highways; and loans by the Rural Electrification Admin-
istration to cooperatives and public bodies for rural
electrification lines. A total of 1,665 million dollars, or
almost 80 percent of the entire civil works expenditures
for fiscal year 1948, will be for these major programs.
Of the remaining 428 million dollai-s, over 250 million
dollare is accounted for by expenditures of other units of
the Federal Works Agencj^ and the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, National Housing Agency, and the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
With the exception of only a few activities such as
veterans' hospitals, and Federal aid for airports and gen-
eral hospitals, the 1948 program is a continuation of pro-
grams carried on by the Federal Government before the
war. The level of expenditures, however, is now much
greater than it was in the prewar period. In the period
1935-40 Federal public works expenditures, includ-
ing the Public Works Administration program but ex-
cluding the Work Projects Administration progi-am,
averaged slightly less than a bUlion dollars annually. On
an expenditure basis, the present progi'am is therefore
about twice as large as the prewar programs.
COMMITMENTS FOR THE FUTURE
The present situation of a rapidly expanding public
works program results almost entirely from action taken
in 1945 and 1946 when legislation was enacted providing
large public works authorizations for loans, grants, and
direct construction, and making appropriations for start-
ing many major projects.
The Postwar Federal-Aid Highway Act committed the
Federal Government to a Federal-aid highway program
totaling 1,500 million dollars of Federal funds to become
available at the rate of 500 million dollars in each of the
first 3 postwar years. The fii'st of these 3 postwar
years has been designated to be fiscal year 1946. To date,
175 million dollars has been appropriated toward this
program, and an additional 279 million dollars is recom-
mended for fiscal year 1948. In future years appropria-
tions totaling 1,046 million dollars will be required to
complete the authorized program.
For the veterans' hospital program, there was available
as of June 30, 1946, a total of 850 million dollars of unex-
pended appropriations and contract authorizations for
construction. An additional $29,800,000 of appropria-
tions and $219,550,000 of contract authorizations are
recommended for fiscal year 1948. According to present
estimates, there will remain unexpended on June 30, 1948,
a total of 661 million dollars of appropriations and contract
authorizations.
In the field of natural resources, future commitments
also loom large. Appropriations for Corps of Engmeers
flood control and river and harbor projects for fiscal year
1947 provided for work on a large number of projects,
many of which are large multiple-purpose dams and
reservoirs requiring two or more years to complete.
Flood control and river and harbor projects on which
work has been initiated or wiU be initiated in fiscal year
1948 will require about 2,200 million dollars to complete
after fiscal year 1948.
Funds have been appropriated for fiscal year 1947 and
previous years for work on three large river basin develop-
m.ents and on a number of lesser projects for irrigation and
power by the Bureau of Reclamation. The total cost to
complete these developments after fiscal year 1948 is
estimated to be about 1,350 million dollars.
The Rural Electrification Administration, at the start
of fiscal year 1948, is estimated to have a total of 325
SPECIAL ANALYSES AND TABLES
1359
million dollars of outstanding obligations to rural coopera-
tives and other groups for electrification projects for which
commitments have been made. The recommended ap-
propriations and loan authorizations of 250 million dollars
for fiscal year 1948 will bring the total available for
expenditure up to 575 million dollars, of which 340 million
dollars is estim.ated for expenditure in fiscal year 1948.
This will leave 235 million dollars for expenditure in
later years.
In addition to these programs, the Seventy-ninth
Congress, in accordance with recommendations of the
President, has authorized grants to State and local
agencies for construction of airports and hospitals at an
average rate of 75 million dollare per year, over a 5-year
period for hospitals, and over a 7-year period for airports.
Although expenditures in fiscal year 1948 will total 50
million dollars for the aii-jjort program and 15 million
dollars for the hospital program, they can be expected, at
the present authorized rates to increase to 75 million
dollars or 100 million dollars a year for each program in
future years.
The total effect of these commitments is that public
works expenditures in fiscal year 1949 and possibly in
later yeare will exceed the 1948 level, even without the
addition of any new work.
BACKLOG OF AUTHORIZED PROJECTS
Another indication of potential amounts of Federal
public works is the size of the reserve of authorized
projects which is now outstanding. Agency reports indi-
cate that on the basis of present prices, over 17 billion
dollars of authorized work will be available for under-
taking after fiscal j^ear 1948, including completion of
projects under way but not scheduled to be finished in
fiscal year 1948. For example, completion of the author-
ized flood control and navigation programs of the Corps of
Engineers is estimated to cost about 5 billion dollars after
June 30, 1948. Included in this amount is 3 billion
dollars for projects which will not have started by June
30, 1948. Other programs also have large reserves of
authorized work on which no start has been made.
SURVEYS AND DETAILED PLANS
It is proposed that surveys and advance planning of
new projects be continued on a modest scale in fiscal year
1948, and funds are recommended for continuation of
preliminary siu'veys and detailed project plans by a num-
ber of Federal agencies. For the most efficient and
economical undertaking of large development projects,
preliminary surveys and investigations are required well
in advance of actual undertaking of work. They serve
as a basis for evaluating the engineering and economic
feasibility and social desirability of the developments.
Similarly, advance preparation of detailed plans may
prevent costly changes in design or scope of the project
after actual construction work is undertaken.
Surveys. — Total appropriations of $14,293,000 are rec-
ommended in fiscal year 1948 for the continuation of
preliminary surveys on authorized projects as well as for
the investigation of projects not yet authorized. The
major portion of these funds is for investigations by vari-
ous Federal agencies of water resource developments in
river basins throughout the country. Sound development
of river basins requires coordinated investigation of all
uses of the resources of the areas, whether for irrigation,
navigation, flood control, power development, recreation
or fish and wildlife resources. It is, therefore, important
that at the early stages of river basin planning and
development all interested Federal agencies make their
contributions to such studies.

are recommended for detailed planning of Federal projects
in fiscal year 1948, in order to have a reserve of planned
projects for use when needed. The major share of these
appropriations is recommended for planning and building
water resource projects. In addition to the amounts
shown in table 3, funds are available for some agencies,
including the Bureau of Reclamation, for detailed project

Federal aid for State and local planning. — Since June
1945, the Federal Works Agency has been making ad-
vances to State and local governments to assist them in
preparing detailed plans for their construction projects.
Advances made through October 1946 will result in the
plamiing of almost $1,300,000,000 of construction works.
A sizable reserve of planned projects is also being built
up by non-Federal public agencies without Federal assist-
ance. Through these means, a reserve of planned proj-
ects is being built up, which, together with the reserve of
Federal projects, could be used to undertake on relatively
short notice an expanded public construction program if
the need should arise.
PROGRAMS BY MAJOR FUNCTIONS
Federal public works activities are undertaken for a
wide variety of purposes, including almost eveiy major
function in which the Federal Government is interested.

Veterans' Services and Benefits
veterans' hospitals and OTHER SERVICES
Included under this function are the programs for con-
struction of veterans' hospitals and temporary educational
facilities, to meet needs of veterans for hospitalization and
education. Total expenditures for these pm-poses are
estimated at 113 million dollars in fiscal year 1947 as
construction of hospitals and temporary educational build-
ings is just getting under way.
In fiscal year 1948, an estimated 424 million dollars will
be expended, chiefly for veterans' hospitals. Expenditm-es
for veterans' hospitals will continue to be high in fiscal
year 1949 and will taper off in succeeding years. E.xpendi-
tures for temporary educational buildings will drop off
sharply after fiscal year 1948.
Veterans' Administration, hospitals. — A direct result of
World War II has been to increase the requirements for
hospital space to accommodate the greatly increased num-
ber of veterans eligible for hospital care. Arrangements
have been made to use other Government, State and
private facilities to help fill this need, but an additional
large number of beds are still required which can only be
met with new construction. Accordingly, the Congress
has already approved programs providing for approxi-
mately 42,000 additional beds, at an estimated cost of
695 million dollars.
The program recommended in this Budget for fiscal
year 1948 provides an additional 11,900 beds at an esti-
mated ultimate cost of 215 million dollars. The program
also includes provision for repaus, additions, alterations,
and renovations to existing hospitals, to meet current
standards, at a total cost of 53 million dollars. An ap-
propriation of $12,750,000 is also recommended for con-
struction of office buildings for use by the Veterans'
Administration throughout the country.
In carrying out the pi-ogram already approved by Con-
gress, the Veterans' Admmistration is using the services
of the Corps of Engineers for the supervision of private
firms of architects and engineers who are planning and
constructmg 76 new hospitals with a total capacity of
39,470 beds. Expenditures bv the Corps of Engmeers
are estimated to total $36,800,000 in fiscal year 1947, and
to rise to 290 million dollars in fiscal year 1948.
Work carried on dnectly by the Veterans' Administra-
tion includes some new hospital construction as well as
rcpaus, additions, alterations, and renovation of existing
hospitals. Expenditures for such work are estimated at
$36,700,000 for fiscal year 1947 and 81 million dollars for
fiscal year 1948.
The completion of this large program is expected to
meet the most urgent needs for veterans' hospitals at this
time. In future years, new construction will proceed at
a much slower rate to meet new needs as they arise.
Federal Works Agency, veterar s' educational facilities. —
In July 1946, the Congress authorized an appropriation of
100 million dollars to enable the Federal Works Adminis-
trator to help schools and colleges to provide temporary
classroom and other nonhousing facilities for veterans.
Under this program, carried on cooperatively by the Fed-
eral Works Agency and the educational institutions,
surplus war structures are being dismantled and rebuilt
at new locations to meet the needs of particular insti-
tutions. An appropriation of 75 million dollars was
made for this activity in fiscal year 1947, and expenditures
are estimated to total 40 million dollars in fiscal year 1947.
A supplemental appropriation of 25 million dollars will
probably be recommended at a later date to bring the
appropriation to the full amount of the authorization.
As this is an emergency activity, it is expected that it
will be largely completed during fiscal year 1948, and
expenditures in future years will be only for clean-up
activities.
International Affairs and Finance
FOREIGN relations
Public Roads Administration. — The small amount of ex-
penditures under this function is for continuation of co-
operative work by the Public Roads Administration on
the Inter-American Highway, from the southern border of
Mexico to Panama City. No appropriation for continua-
tion of this work is recommended for fiscal year 1948, as
SPECIAL ANALYSES AND TABLES
1361
appropriations have already been made for the full
amount of the present congressional authorization.
Social Welfare, Health and Security
Federal construction activities in this field are largely
for the provision of facilities for public health, including
hospitals and health centers. Other activities include
improvements at Federal penal institutions, and the
completion of a number of prewar public works projects
for which Federal grants were made under the Public
Works Administration program. Expenditures for social
welfare, health and security are estimated to total
30 million dollars m fiscal year 1948, and are expected to
increase in future years as the hospital grant program
gets under way.
PROMOTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Public Health Service. — The principal construction ac-
tivity of this agency is the Federal-aid hospital construc-
tion program authorized by the Congress in the Hospital
Construction Act of 1946 (Public Law 725, 79th Cong.).
This Act provides a 5-year program of Federal grants-in-
aid to public and nonprofit hospitals for the construction
of hospitals and health facilities. Federal grants aggre-
gating^375 million dollars for the total program are pro-
vided for one-third of the construction costs. The making
of grants is conditioned upon the development by each
State of a master plan for hospital construction, with
emphasis on providing priorities for the most urgent
needs, particularly for rural areas. Federal grants of
$3,000,000 are authorized to finance one-third of the cost
of developing master plans. Activity during fiscal year
1947 is centered upon the inventory of existing hospitals
and survey of needs for new facilities. Grants for con-
struction will begin to be made in fiscal year 1948, and
$50,965,000 is recommended to be appropriated to the
Public Health Service for this progi'am. Expenditures
are estimated at 15 million dollars in fiscal year 1948. In
future years, however, expenditures can be expected to
increase, as liquidation of grant agi'eements progresses and
annual expenditures approach the average rate provided
in the authorizing legislation.
In addition, an appropriation to the Public Health
Service of $2,650,000 is recommended for acquisition of
site and preparation of plans and specifications for re-
search and clinical hospital buildings for the study of
cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The buildings will
be located at the National Institute of Health, Bethesda,
Md., and will be planned and constructed by the Public
Buildings Administration.
Public Buildings Administration. — In addition, an
appropriation of $850,000 to the Public Buildings Admin-
istration is recommended for planning and land acquisition
for a clinical research hospital for mental diseases, also to
be located at the National Institute of Health. Actual
construction of these buildings will require additional
appropriations by the Congi-ess.
WORK RELIEF AND DIRECT RELIEF
Federal Works Agency, Office of the Adrninistrator. — An
estimated 6 million dollars will be spent in fiscal year 1948
in settlement of earlier obligations and for Federal grants
to local public agencies to complete projects started prior
to the war under the Public Works Administration
program, but deferred because of the war. It is expected
that the remainder of the work on these projects will be
completed during fiscal year 1949.
CRIME CONTROL AND CORRECTION
Federal Prison System. — Construction requirements of
the Federal Prison System are limited at present to im-
provements and alterations at existing institutions. In
fiscal year 1947, work was begun on surveys and advance
planning for future buUding needs of the prison system.
The recommended appropriation of $300,000 in fiscal
year 1948 provides for continuation of advance siu-veys
and plans and for a modest program of alterations and
improvements to existing institutions. The estimated
total of $970,800 of expenditures in fiscal year 1948 also
includes the completion of housing projects at existing
institutions started during fiscal year 1947, to provide
living accommodations for staff members.
Housing and Co.mmunity Facilities
PUBLIC housing PROGRAMS
National Housing Agency, Federal Public Housing
Authority. — As a part of the veterans' housing program,
the Federal Public Housing Authority is providing tem-
porary housing for veterans and servicemen in projects
sponsored by local public agencies, educational institu-
tions and nonprofit organizations. Existing federally
owned structures, including war housing projects, bar-
racks, Quonset huts, and other structures built during the
war, are dismantled and rebuilt into temporary homes
for veterans. This program, for which $436,697,814 in
appropriations have been provided to the Authority, was
started in January 1946, and will be largely completed by
June 30, 1947, when practically all of the 180,800 dwelling
units to be financed primarily with Federal funds will have
been completed. Expenditures, which are estimated to
total 368 million dollars in fiscal year 1947, will be only
29 million dollars in fiscal year 1948. This will be largely
for final project payments on work substantially com-
pleted in fiscal year 1947.
Fiscal year 1948 will see a reactivation of construction
loans made to local housing authorities by the Federal
Public Housing Authority for low-rent projects imder the
United States Housing Act. These reactivated loans will
permit construction of projects for which commitments
had been made before the war. Of such deferred projects,
1,985 dwelling units are estimated to be reactivated dur-
ing fiscal year 1947, and 12,807 units during fiscal year
1948. Local authorities are expected to obtain a large
part of the funds required for these projects by the sale
of advance loan notes to the public. Gross expenditures
by the Federal Public Housing Authority for financing
these projects, through purchase of advance loan notes,
are estimated to be $2,397,000 in fiscal vear 1947 and
$3,744,000 in fiscal year 1948.
In addition to the financing of locally owned public
housing projects, the Federal Public Housing Authority is
continuing some construction work on federally owned
low-rent housing projects started during the war under
provisions of Public Law 671, approved June 28, 1940,
which provided for construction of such projects for use
by war workers during the war, to be converted to low-
rent use after the war. Expenditures during fiscal year
1947, estimated, to total $3,576,000, are largely for correc-
tion of construction deficiencies due to wartime materials
shortages. For fiscal year 1948, the estimated expendi-
tures of $1,437,000 w'ill be largely for final contract
settlements.
1362
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
PROVISION OF COMMUNITY FACILITIES
Federal Works Agency, Bureau oj Community Facili-
ties.— Dui-ing the 1930's the Federal Government, through
the Work Projects Administration and Public Works
Administration programs, provided financial assistance to
States and local communities in construction of public
works. These programs were discontinued early in the
1940's. Under the Lanham Act, assistance was given to
communities during the war to provide facilities required
by wartime increases in population. Since the termina-
tion of this activity, the Federal policy has been to pro-
vide no financial aid to local communities for their public
works, except for Federal-aid highways, airports, and
hospitals whore specific legislation has been enacted recog-
nizing a Federal responsibility in those particular fields.
These activities are being carried out by the agencies re-
sponsible for the functions concerned.
Although no general responsibility for construction of
community facilities is recognized, advances of funds are
being provided by the Federal Works Agency to local
communities for preparation of advance plans for con-
struction projects, as authorized in title V of the War
Mobilization and Reconversion Act of 1944. These ad-
vances are repayable by the communities when construc-
tion is undertaken. As discussed under the section on
detailed plans above, this program, carried on by the
Bureau of Community Facilities, is resulting in the prepa-
ration of plans for a large reserve of State and local public
works projects. A total of 65 million dollars has been
appropriated for this planning program, and expenditures
for fiscal year 1948 are estimated at $17,100,000 from
previously appropriated funds. Authority to make ad-
vances expires on June 30, 1947, and no appropriation is
recommended in this Budget for the making of new ad-
vances during fiscal year 1948.
The Bureau of Community Facilities is also carrymg
on the construction of public works in the Virgin Islands
to provide facilities, including roads, water supply, and
sanitation projects, in this United States possession in the
West Indies. Expenditures in fiscal yeai 1948 are esti-
mated to total $2,100,000, which will leave approximately
6 million dollars to be expended in later years to complete
the authorized 5-year program totaling $10,028,420 ap-
proved by Congress.
In addition, there will be expenditures in fiscal year 1948
totaling $8,100,000 to complete construction projects
under the wartime Defense Public Works program. This
will conclude expenditures for this activity.
Reconstruction Finance Corporation. — The Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, under authority of section 5d
of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, as
amended April 13, 1938, makes loans to non-Federal
public agencies for public works projects such as bridges,
tunnels, and water supply developments. Since the end
of the war, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
again begun to make loans of this type. Gross expendi-
tures for such loans are estimated to total 47 million dollars
in fiscal year 1948.
Education and General Research
educational aid to special groups
Howard University. — For the fiscal year 1948, funds are
recommended for the construction of a. dental building
and an auditorium and fine arts building, and for prepara-
tion of plans for five additional buildings,'* at Howard
University, Washington, D. C. This is a continuation of
the building program started in the fiscal year 1947, to '
provide for the needs at Howard University. Expendi-
tures for plans and construction are estimated at $3,200,-
000 for fiscal year 1948, to be financed from recommended
appropriations and contract authorizations totaling
$4,330,925 for fiscal year 1948.
GENERAL-PURPOSE RESEARCH
Public Buildings Administration. — For the fiscal year
1948 an appropriation of $100,000 and contract authoriza-
tion of $875,000 is recommended for planning and con-
struction of a geophysical institute at Fairl^anlvs, Alaska,
as authorized by the act of July 31, 1946 (Public Law 580,
79th Cong.).
Agriculture and Agricultural Resources
Under this function are included those Federal programs
involving both direct construction and loans to non-
Federal agencies, which are carried on by the Department
of Agriculture as direct aid to the agricultural economy
and for the conservation and development of agricultural
resources. Because this section of the Budget on public
works and construction covers only work primarily of a
structural nature, a number of important land improve-
ment programs of the Department of Agriculture are not
included in this section. The largest of these programs
is the soil conservation activity of the Soil Conservation
Service. Although not included herein, this activity is
closely related to construction activities of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, such as upstream flood control, as
well as to resource development programs of the Corps
of Engineers and Department of the Interior.
LOANS AND INVESTMENTS TO AID AGRICULTURE
Rural Electrification Administration. — The objective of
this agency is to assist in providing electric service at
reasonable rates to rural communities and farms on an
area-\\'ide basis, so as to insure, to the greatest extent
practicable, that the benefits of low-cost electric service
are widely and equitably distributed. Through loans
and technical advice, the Rural Electrification Admin-
istration provides the means by which groups of rural
people can, through cooperative action, construct, operate,
and maintain the necessary distribution systems to pro-
vide service at reasonable rates. In this sense, the Rural
Electrification Administration program differs from other
public works activities of the Federal Government, as
actual construction is undertaken by the cooperatives,
with the Federal role being to make loans, give technical
advice, and exercise only the degree of supervision over
development of the cooperative distribution systems neces-
sary to protect the loan equity.
During the war the rural electrification program was
largely restricted to providing those minimum facilities
in rural areas which were required to stimulate immediate
food production. Since the close of the war, however,
activities under the Rural Electrification Administration
pi'ogram have been greatly stepped up in response to a
tremendous backlog of demands from rural groups for
electric service which had grown up during the war. In
the two fiscal years 1946 and 1947, the Rural Electrifica-
tion Administration has been granted a total of 550
million dollars of loan authorizations. Between July
1945 and September 1946, the Rural Electrification
Administration allocated loan funds to provide over
200,000 miles of distribution lines to serve over 620,000

customers. Actual loan advances totaled about 89 million
dollars in fiscal year 1946, and are estimated to reach
224 million dollars in fiscal year 1947. Shortages of con-
struction materials have delayed progress somewhat and
in accordance with the President's construction curtail-
ment program, cooperatives have been asked to defer
expenditures for certain equipment and materials during
fiscal year 1947, to the extent consistent with their objec-
tives. For the fiscal year 1948, advances to Rural Elec-
trification Admmistration borrowers are estimated to total
340 million dollars, to be financed from unadvanced funds
totaling 325 million dollars available to Rural Electrifica-
tion Administration from prior-year loan authorizations,
and from a loan authorization of 225 million dollars and
appropriation of 25 million dollars recommended in this
Budget. These recommendations, which are at the same
level as the 1947 loan authorization, are necessary to meet
the continued volume of requests by rural groups for
allotments for construction of rural electrification lines.
Farmers' Home Administration. — The Water Facilities
program provides for loans and technical advice to farmers
in the arid and semiarid areas in the West for the con-
struction of small water facilities, such as wells, ponds,
windmills, storage tanJvs, and cisterns. Expenditures for
the fiscal year 1948 are estimated at $1,750,000.
CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL LAND
AND WATER RESOURCES
Department of Agriculture. — Through activities included
in this category, the Department of Agriculture provides
upstream flood and erosion control and supplementary
water supplies to rural areas.
For flood control activities of the Department of Agri-
culture, an estimated $2,500,000 will be expended in fiscal
year 1948, for continuation of surveys on watersheds
thi'oughout the country, and operations work on a few
watersheds, including the Los Angeles in California and
the Little SioiLx in Iowa. The work is carried on by the
Soil Conservation Service and the Forest Service. This
program is just getting under way and expenditures may
be expected to increase m future years as additional work
is started on authorized projects, in order to keep pace
with the activities of other agencies on river basin de-
velopments.
Expenditures by the Department of Agriculture for
Water Conservation and L^tilization projects are estimated
at $1,200,000 in fiscal year 1948, largely for land clearing
and subjugation to provide a number of new irrigated
farms. This work is being carried on by the Soil Con-
servation Service, in cooperation with the Bureau of
Reclamation which is building the irrigation structures.
Expenditures by the Bureau of Reclamation are estimated
at $1,250,000 for fiscal year 1948.
Natural Resources
One of the major purposes for which Federal public
works are built is the development, control, and conserva-
tion of the Nation's natural resources. Included under
this designation are' the development and control of water
resources for flood control, irrigation, and hydroelectric
power, the conservation and development of forest and
land resources, and of the mineral, recreational, and wild-
life resources of our lantls and waters. A natural resource
development program includes some capital improvement
work which cannot be strictly classed as construction; for
example, range reseeding, land improvement, reforestation,
and forest protection, including insect and erosion control
work. Such improvement programs arc not covered by
this analysis, as this section is restricted to work of a
structural nature.
During the war, the Federal construction program for
the development of natmal resources was held to a low
level. Beginning in the fiscal year 1946, however, appro-
priations were made to resume work on projects stopped
diu'ing the war, and to start a large volume of new work.
Additional large appropriations were made in fiscal year
1947 to continue work and to start additional projects.
The President's restriction on public works in fiscal year
1947 has, to some extent, delayed the starting of projects,
but because of projects started and contracts awarded
prior to the curtailment order, expenditures for natural
resources construction are estimated to rise from 173
million dollars in fiscal year 1946 to 405 million dollars
in fiscal year 1947. They are estimated to rise stiU further
to 527 million dollars in fiscal year 1948 as work on large
projects already started in fiscal year 1947 is continued,
even though at a minimum rate for efficient operations.
The level of expenditures is expected to increase in fiscal
years 1949 and 1950 even if no new work is started. This
is due to the necessity, in the interest of efficient construc-
tion operations, for an increasing rate of expenditure in
succeeding years, on each large project started with fiscal
year 1947 appropriations.
CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LAND AND WATER
RESOURCES
The development and control of land and water re-
sources is the largest construction activity in the natural
resources field. It involves, among other activities, the
building of major multiple-purpose structures for the con-
trol of floods and the provision of water for irrigation of
arid and semiarid lands. At such structures, as well as at
similar structures built in the interest of navigation, col-
lateral benefits include development of electric power,
recreation, and conservation of fish and wildlife. The
Corps of Engineers is the agency primarily concerned with
the control of floods, while the Bureau of Reclamation
deals with irrigation in the 17 Western States. The
Tennessee Valley Authority is concerned with the unified
development of all of the natural resources of the Ten-
nessee River Valley.
Corps of Engineers. — Since passage of the Flood Control
Act of 1936, the flood control program of the Corps of
Engineers has become Nation-wide in scope. It ranges
from construction of small local protection works to
protect individual communities from the menace of de-
structive floods, to the control of an entire river valley
section such as the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River
stretching from the junction of the Ohio River at Cairo,
111., to the Gulf of Aiexico. It also includes the construc-
tion of individual large reservoirs in many sections of the
country. For example, major projects will be under
construction during fiscal year 1948 on the vSusquehanna,
Roanoke, and Savannah Rivers on the Atlantic seaboard ;
Alabama-Coosa River and Buffalo Bayou, Tex., on the
Gulf coast; the lower Mississippi Valley; the Arkansas,
Missouri, and Ohio River Basins in the Central States;
and in the Central VaUey of California and the Los
Angeles and WiUamette Rivers on the Pacific coast. Ex-
penditures in fiscal year 1947 are being held to a maximum
of 192 million doUars for flood control and power construc-
tion, surveys, and maintenance under the President's
restricted public works program. They are estimated to
rise in fiscal year 1948 to 255 million dollars for continua-
tion of work on projects for which appropriations have
already been made, with no allowance for any new projects.
1364
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Expenditures may be even larger in succeeding years as
the large projects reach their construction peak.
In addition to construction of projects, the Corps of
Engineers is continuing its investigations of river basins,
in accordance with congressional acts and committee reso-
lutions, to determine the feasibility of projects for possible
future authorization, and is preparing detailed plans for
authorized projects to be started in later years.
Bureau of Reclamation. — This agency is authorized to
construct irrigation developments in the 17 arid and semi-
arid States in the West. Its work ranges in scope from
relatively small individual irrigation projects costing less
than $2,000,000 to large integrated basin-wide develop-
ment programs, such as in the Missouri River Basin,
costing over a billion dollars when completed. Most of
the larger projects are multiple-purpose in character, with
power features installed in many. As an aid to the
marketing of power produced at these projects, the
Bureau of Reclamation is developing a system of trans-
mission lines to carry the energy to agricultural, com-
munity, and industrial load centers. The major
construction activity in terms of expenditures is under
way in five ai'eas, the Central Valley of California; the
Columbia Basin project; the Colorado-Big Thompson
project in Colorado; the Davis Dam project in Arizona;
and the Missouri River Basin. Work will also go forward
on a number of lesser projects widely scattered in the
Western States. New funds are recommended in fiscal
year 1948 for 22 projects and basin developments.
In accordance with the public works curtailment pro-
gram, expenditures in fiscal year 1947 for construction and
detailed planning by the Bureau of Reclamation classified
under the function "Natural resources" are being held to
128 million dollars. Like the flood control program, ex-
penditures are estimated to increase in fiscal year 1948 in
order to continue work on projects and major segments
of projects now under way. The fiscal year 1948 expendi-
ture estimate of 159 million dollars for work classified as
Natural resources does not allow for the expansion of the
program to include any new projects or major segments.
Expenditures can be expected to rise still further in the
years immediately following, even without the starting of
any new projects.
An additional $1,250,000 of expenditures by the Bureau
of Reclamation for both fiscal years 1947 and 1948 for
Water Conservation and Utilization projects is carried
under "Agriculture and agricultural resources" in the
table following this section.
In addition, the Bureau of Reclamation will continue
preliminary investigations and surveys in many river
basins in the Western States to determine the feasibility
and economic worth of proposed basin development plans
and projects for possible future authorization by Congress
and possible modification of projects already authorized.
Expenditures for surveys, maintenance, and administra-
tion by the Bureau of Reclamation (not included in the
Bureau of Reclamation construction total as carried in this
section) are estimated to be over 17 million dollars for
both fiscal years 1947 and 1948.
Tennessee Valle7j Authority. — The 1948 construction
program for this agency represents a continuation of
capital improvements for the miified development of the
Tennessee Valley. In accordance with the public works
curtailment progi-am, expenditures in fiscal year 1947
for capital improvements financed from appropriated funds
are estimated at $20,328,000. In fiscal year 1948, com-
parable expenditures are estimated to total $32,585,000.
Approximately one-half of this cxpenditm-e is for continua-
tion of construction of the South Holston and Watauga
Dams, on which construction was resumed during fiscal
year 1947. Other items include improvement of other
dams and multiple-use water control facilities and con-
struction of buildings and facilities to extend and improve
the chemical plant of Tennessee Valley Authority. The
basic system of locks and dams on the Tennessee River
has now been largely completed, and future capital
improvements on the river control system will be restricted
to relatively minor additions and improvements.
Capital improvements to the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority power generating and transmission system are
financed from Tennessee Valley Authority receipts which
are classed as corporate funds. During fiscal year 1948,
Tennessee Valley Authority will continue the placement
of additional hydroelectric generating units in existing
dams, and will extend and improve its network of trans-
mission lines to meet the growing need for power in the
region. Shortages of materials and ecjuipment are re-
tarding this program during fiscal year 1947, when an
estimated $24,737,000 will be expended. For fiscal year
1948, a somewhat smaller total of $22,788,500 is estimated
to be expended from corporate funds for power facilities.
Because the Tennessee Valley Authority has a continuing
responsibility to meet the power needs of a large area in
and near the Tennessee Valley where it is the sole supplier
of electricity, expenditures for power facilities from cor-
porate funds can be expected to be contmuing at a sub-
stantial rate in future years.
International Boundary and Water Commission, United
States and Mexico. — This agency is responsible for carrying
out the terms of the United States-Mexico Treaty on
International Waters, signed on February 3, 1944, as well
as previous treaties, which provide for the control of the
waters along the United States-Mexico border. The cur-
rent program consists of the construction, in cooperation
with the Alexican Government, of major water control
structures along the Rio Grande. Work is being started
in fiscal year 1947 on the multiple-purpose Falcon Dam
on the Rio Grande, for flood control, irrigation, and
power development, which, in accordance with terms of
the Treaty, must be started within 2 years of the approval
of plans by the two Governments and must be completed
within a period of 8 years after ratification of the Ti-eaty.
Other flood control and stream rectification works are
under construction along the Rio Grande. Expenditures
for construction during fiscal year 1947 are restricted to
$3,500,000 in accordance with the public works curtail-
ment program. For fiscal year 1948, they are expected
to rise to 9 million dollars as work progresses on the
Falcon Dam. This program can be expected to increase
for the next few years after fiscal year 1948, as work pro-
vided for by the Treaty reaches a peak.
Bonneville Power Administration. — This agency, in the
Department of the Interior, is responsible for the market-
ing of hydroelectric power from federally owned dams in
the Pacific Northwest, including both Grand Coulee and
Bonneville Dams. The construction program recom-
mended for fiscal year 1948 consists of continuing con-
struction of lines, substations, and related facilities, to
carry the power to existing load centers and to areas
where new loads are developing. As new sources of
electrical energy are provided in the Northwest, the
Bonneville Power Administration program of trans-
mission line building must go forward at an orderly rate,
sufficient to provide for marketing of the additional
available power. Expenditures for fiscal year 1947 are
estimated at $15,600,000 for construction, operation.
SPECIAL ANALYSES AND TABLES

aud maintenance of the system; for fiscal year 1948,
this will increase to 20 million dollars, of which $4,700,000
will be for operation and maintenance of the system.
Southwestern Power Administration.. — This relatively
new agency in the Department of the Interior is charged
with marketing of hydroelectric power from Federal
projects in the Oklahoma-Arkansas-Texas area. At pres-
ent, it is marketing power from the Norfork Dam project
on the White River, and the Deuison Dam project on the
Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. An initial
appropriation of $7,500,000 was provided in fiscal year
1947 for acquisition of a portion of the Ark-La trans-
mission hne and for construction of additional transmis-
sion lines to market the power from these projects. Of
this appropriation, it is now estimated that $3,331,000
will be expended in fiscal year 1947. For fiscal year 1948,
the recommended program to be financed from 1948
appropriations provides only for purchase of the remamder
of the Ark-La transmission line. Expenditures in fiscal
year 1948 are estimated to total $6,370,000, including
expenditures from 1947 funds. In future years, expendi-
tures will depend to a great degree upon progress on
construction of Federal multiple-purpose dams in the
Arkansas and White River Basins, and the need for addi-
tional federally owned transmission lines to connect these
new power sources to the existing transmission network.
Bureau of Indian Affairs. — For fiscal year 1948, a small
progi'am of survey and construction work on Indian irri-
gation projects in the Western States is provided. Ex-
penditures in fiscal year 1947 are estunated at $1,000,000
for this program; in fiscal year 1948, they are estimated to
increase to $1,780,000, chiefly for work on the Colorado
River Reservation and in the Navajo areas. Expendi-
tures in future years for this program wall depend upon
the demonstrated need for irrigation facilities for the In-
dians and the feasibility of the particular projects pro-
posed. If certain major projects now being studied were
to be started, expenditm-es would increase greatly over
the present level.
MINERAL RESOURCES
Bureau of Mines. — In this category the only construction
included is that by the Bureau of Mines in the Department
of the Interior, in connection with the carrying out of
research in the field of mineral resources. For fiscal year
1948, continuation of construction and operation of
synthetic liquid fuels research facilities is reconmiended ;
expenditm'cs for this program and other minor construc-
tion are estimated to total $8,350,000. In future years,
expenditures for construction will probably decrease as
the synthetic liquid fuels facilities are completed.
RECREATIONAL RESOURCES
I
National Park Service. — Construction classified under
this category consists of capital improvements by the
National Park Service in the national parks, monuments,
and historical sites. AU such construction was held up
during the war, and, as a consequence, a volume of needed
projects for replacements and improvements has been
built up. The construction program of roads, buildings,
and utilities in national park areas was resumed in fiscal
year 1947, but in accordance with the public works cur-
tailment policy, expenditures for fiscal year 1947 are
estimated at 8 million dollars; for fiscal year 1948 they are
estimated to increase to $11,151,000. In future years,
expenditures for capital improvements can be expected to
increase if the national park areas are to be brought up to
the established standards.
Transportation and Communication
Federal construction expenditures for transportation
facilities in fiscal year 1948 comprise almost one-third of
the estunated total Federal expenditures for civil construc-
tion. This total of 674 million dollars is considerably
greater than the 482 million dollars estimated to be
expended in fiscal year 1947. Federal responsibility
has long been accepted for assistance in the construction
of roads and highways and rivers and harbors. With
the enactment of the Federal -Aid Au-port Act of 1946, the
Federal Government has now accepted responsibOity for
aiding State and local governments in the construction of
airports. Air navigation facilities have been constructed
by the Federal Government for a number of years, but
heretofpre airport construction had been considered a
local responsibility. In general, construction of roads,
river and harbor projects, airports and airway facilities
was restricted during the war to only those facilities which
were absolutely essential for the national defense. After
VJ-day, the restrictions were eased and additional appro-
priations were made in fiscal years 1946 and 1947 to resume
work at a high level. High construction costs, materials
shortages, and the August 1946 construction limitation
program, however, are holding down expenditures in fiscal
year 1947. During the fiscal year 1948, expenditures will
be made at an increasing rate in order to continue projects
already started and to provide for road and airport con-
struction grants in accordance with the rates established by
authorizing acts. Further increases are to be expected in
fiscal years 1949 and 1950, as the roads and airports
programs reach their peaks.
PROVISION OF navigation AIDS AND FACILITIES
The two chief items under this category are the river
and harbor program of the Corps of Engineers and the aids-
to-navigation program of the United States Coast Guard.
These, and a smaller program of construction at the Pan-
ama Canal, are estimated to total 158 million doUars in
expenditures in fiscal year 1948.
Corps of Engineers. — During the war, the rivers and
harbors activities of the Corps of Engineers were restricted
largely to the task of construction and maintenance on
those navigation structures, harbors, and channels which
were required for prosecution of the war. The fiscal year
1947 is the first year since fiscal year 1942 in which any
appreciable program of new construction was undertaken.
However, in conformity with the public works curtailment
program, expenditures for new construction are being held
to 23 milhon dollars in fiscal year 1947. To this amount
must be added 80 milhon dollars for maintenance and
operation, surveys, and investigations, which totals to the
103-million-dollar expenditure limitation for fiscal year
1947 for work classified under the Transportation function.
This limitation did not allow for starting during fiscal year
1947 of all of the projects for which funds had been appro-
priated. The program recommended for fiscal year 1948
provides for work to proceed at an economic but con-
servative rate on all projects for which funds were pro-
vided in the 1947 appropriation act. It does not allow
for the starting of any additional projects. However, in
order to continue the approved projects at an economical
and efficient rate, about 55 million doUars of expenditures
will be required for new construction in fiscal year 1948.
Maintenance and operation, and sirrvey and advance
planning expenditures are estunated to total an addi-
tional 80 million dollars, making a total of about 135
1366
THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
million dollfirs of expenditures in fiscal year 1948 for work
classified under Transportation.
The present construction program provides for dredging
work on a number of the major harbors on the Atlantic
and Gulf Coasts, including New York and Savannah Har-
bors, improvement of the intercoastal waterway along the
Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, work on inland waterways such
as the Ohio, upper Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers, im-
provements to Great Lakes harbors and channels, and
preparatory work on McNary Dam on the Columbia
River in Washington. Many of these projects will not
be completed in fiscal year 1948, but will require substan-
tial expenditures in subsequent years. Thus, expenditures
in fiscal year 1949 and 19.50 will remain at a level at least
as high as that in fiscal year 1948 even without the start-
ing of any new projects in those years.
Coast Guard. — After VJ-day, the Coast Guard once
again returned to its major peacetime task of providing
aids to navigation and rescue facilities on the coastal and
inland waters of the United States and its possessions.
The program for 1947 and the $5,669,000 program for
which appropriations are recommended in 1948 provide
for m-gently needed new construction at Coast Guard and
lighthouse stations, and the provision of new radio aids
to navigation in outlying possessions. Expenditures for
fiscal year 1948, however, are estimated at $14,653,000,
due largely to payments for work contracted for during
the war and being brought to final completion.
The Panama Canal. — The 1948 construction program
recommended for this agency provides for construction of
housing, school and hospital improvements; roads and
streets in the Canal Zone; and for studies on the expansion
of canal capacity across the Isthmus. Expenditures are
estimated to be $8,015,000 in fiscal year 1948, as com-
pared with $10,145,000 estimated to be spent in fiscal year
1947.
PROVISION OF HIGHWAYS
Public Roads Administration. — The postwar Federal-aid
highway program was established by the passage, in
December 1944, of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944
which authorized Federal appropriations of $500,000,000
annually for three postwar fiscal years. After VJ-day,
the Congress designated the fiscal year 1946 as the first
postwar fiscal year. This large postwar program was
designed to meet pressing highway needs which had
accumulated during the war years when Federal aid for
highways was restricted ahnost entirely to roads essential
to the war program.
During fiscal year 1946, however, even with the removal
of wartime restrictions and limitations, road expenditures
were largely for the completion of the wartime road pro-
gram. During fiscal year 1947, progress on the postwar
highway program continues to be slow. Although the
States had expected to be well under way toward meeting
the most m-gent needs by the end of fiscal year 1947,
scarcities of materials and high construction costs have
retarded activities to a considerable extent. In view of
high contract prices, a conservative policy has been fol-
lowed by State governments and the Pubhc Roads Admin-
istration in approving new construction. In addition,
highway construction is being restricted, in accordance
with the August 1946 pubUc works curtailment order, to
only the most urgently needed work.
The Federal-aid postwar highway program, which con-
stitutes the bulk of expenditures in fiscal year 1948, pro-
vides a balanced approach to meeting the most important
highway needs of the Nation. The 500 million dollar
annual authorization is apportioned to the States, in
accordance with prescribed formulas. This amount is
composed of 225 million dollars for projects on the regular
Federal-aid highway system, which comprises the basic
network of primary highways; 150 million dollars for
projects on a designated system of secondary and feeder
roads including farm-to-market roads; and 125 million
dollars for projects on the Federal-aid highway system in
urban areas where needs for modernization and improve-
ment are great.
The remaining programs active in fiscal year 1948
include the balance of prewar Federal-aid highway,
secondary road, and grade-crossing-elimination programs,
and the remainder of the wartime strategic highway and
access-roads authorizations. In addition, there is in-
cluded work done directly by the Public Roads Adminis-
tration on public lands highways in the Western States
and repair and reconstruction of highways m Hawau.
Expenditures by the Public Roads Administration for
public roads in the transportation category are expected
to total about 268 million dollars in fiscal year 1947.
They are estimated to rise to 393 million dollars in fiscal
year 1948. Expenditures will probably reach the annual
authorization figure of 500 million dollars provided in the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944 in fiscal year 1949. It
is apparent, therefore, that at least 1 billion dollars of
expenditures under existing authorizations for pubhc-
roads grants are to be expected after fiscal year 1948.
Sums apportioned to the States for the 1,500-million-
dollar postwar Federal-aid highway program are available
only for one year after the close of the fiscal year for which
they are authorized. The low rate of obligation during
the past year indicates that some States face the prospect
of losing a portion of their grants. In order to avoid this
contingency, the President, in this Budget, is recommend-
ing that the Congress extend for one additional year the
period during which these funds may be available.
Forest roads and trails, Department of Agriculture. — This
program includes the construction of forest development
roads and forest highways in and through the national
forests. The forest development roads, which are con-
structed by the Forest Service, are being built in fiscal year
1947 primarily for access to timber being harvested in the
national forests in furtherance of the housing program.
Forest highways, which are constructed by the Public
Roads Administration, are integral links through the na-
tional forests of the Nation-wide system of primary Fed-
eral highways. Expenditures for both forest development
roads and highways are estimated at about 26 million
dollars in both fiscal years 1947 and 1948.
Bureau oj Indian Affairs, roads. — Under this activity,
secondary roads are built and maintained on Indian reser-
vations to provide access to developed areas and to connect
with the State and county road systems adjoining the reser-
vations. Expenditures are estimated to reach $4,100,000
in fiscal year 1948, an increase over the $3,100,000 estimate
established for fiscal year 1947.
Alaska Road Commission, roads. — This program pro-
vides for construction and maintenance of the highway
system in Alaska, including the important Richardson
Highway from Valdez to Fairbanks, and tlie Alaska section
of the Alcan Highway. Expenditures in fiscal year 1948
are estimated at $3,796,000, an increase from the $3,440,-
000 estimated to be expended in fiscal year 1947.
SPECIAL ANALYSES AND TABLES

PROMOTION OF AVIATION, INCLUDING PROVISION OP AIRWAYS
AND AIRPORTS
Civil Aeronautics Administration. — Under provisions of
the Federal-Aid Airport Act approved May 13, 1946
(Public Law 377, 79th Cong.) Federal aid was extended to
States, Territories, and cities for the construction of air-
ports. Total authorizations are 520 million dollars over a
7-year period. Funds for smaller airports are provided
on a matching basis, while larger airports are to receive
Federal aid up to a maximum of 50 percent. An appropria-
tion of $47,975,000 for airpoi't survey and for construction
grants was made for fiscal year 1947, but because of the
time required to prepare the necessary procedures and
establish a staff, only $6,700,000 of these funds are esti-
mated to be expended during fiscal year 1947. Because
of the necessity for completing the national airport plan
before needs can be fully determined, a detailed appro-
priation estimate for fiscal year 1948 is not included in
this Budget, but one will be transmitted at a later date.
However, expenditures for fiscal year 1948 are esthnated
at 50 million dollars for airport gi'ants. In future years,
expenditures may be expected to approach or exceed the
annual average of 75 million dollars provided by the act.
Other capital expenditures of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration include the provision of facilities for air
navigation along the Nation's airways, and completion of
previously authorized ah-port construction programs. Air
navigation facilities expenditures are chiefly for instrument
landing systems at major terminal airports and for con-
struction of stations and housing facilities in remote areas
of this country and Alaska. Total expenditures for these
other programs are estimated at $23,942,000 for fiscal year
1948.
National Advisory Committee Jar Aeronautics. — The con-
struction program of this aeronautical research agency
included in this category consists of improvements and
new facilities at its three aeronautical research laboratories,
Langley Field, Va.; Cleveland, Ohio; and Moffett Field,
Calif. Expenditures in fiscal vear 1947 are estimated at
$10,700,000, and in fiscal year 1948, $11,010,000.
General Government
OTHER general GOVERNMENT
Public Buildings Administration. — In common with
other Federal public works, Federal building construction
was halted during the war. Because of the competitive
nature of public building construction with housing, the
postwar Federal buildings construction program has not
yet been authorized by the Congress. However, the act
of June 14, 1946, does provide for the use of available
funds by the Public Buildings Administration to prepare
designs for those new public buildings projects for which
land has already been acquired. The Public Buddings
Administration is thus able to prepare in advance, at
least in part, for resumption of its normal building pro-
gram when conditions warrant.
The future public buildings program includes the con-
struction of post offices, Federal courthouses, custom-
houses, immigration and quarantine stations and marine
hospitals in many cities throughout the country; and
Federal office buildings in and near the District of Colum-
bia. The first segment of this program was estimated by
the Public Buildings Administration to cost 193 million
dollars for buildings outside the District of Columbia and
169 million dollars for land and buildings inside the
District of Columbia.
For fiscal year 1948, an appropriation is recommended
for completion of construction of the West Central Heating
Plant in the District of Columbia. Items for a hospital
center in the District of Columbia and a research hospital
for the National Institute of Mental Health are carried
imder "Social welfare, health, and secirrity" and an item
for construction of a geophysical institute at Fairbanks,
Alaska, is carried under "Education and general re-
search." Other construction will go forward in fiscal year
1948 including a Federal office building at Nashville,
Tenn., and two marine hospitals, financed from funds ap-
propriated in pre\aous years. In addition, advance plan-
ning of Federal public buildings will go forward. Expendi-
tures for fiscal year 1948 for work classified under "General
government" are estimated to reach $14,774,000. In the
event of authorization of a general public buildings con-
struction program in future years, expenditures by the
Public Buildings Administration for construction can be
expected to show a large increase.
Bureau of Indian Ajffairs. — In this category is carried
the building construction on Indian reservations and else-
where for general administrativ^e, health and welfare pur-
poses by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. All such con-
struction was halted during the war, but work was resumed
during fiscal year 1947, and $1,400,000 is estimated to be
expended. For fiscal year 1948, expenditures of $1 ,900,000
are esthnated for advance surveys and plans, construc-
tion of educational buildings on the Navajo Reservation,
major repairs to existing buildings, and other construction
items. This amount represents a curtailed program for
this activity, as deferred needs for buildings and utilities
on Indian reservations are much greater than the amount
recommended for the fiscal year 1948.
Bureau of Standards. — The 1948 construction program
for this agency consists of construction of a building for
radio research and for purchase of a betatron to be in-
stalled in a structure provided for in fiscal year 1947
appropriations. Expenditures for these projects in fiscal
year 1948 are estimated to total 1 million dollars.

" Comparable expenditures imder the "General public works" classification used in the midyear Budget Review (August 1946) are $1,136,000,000.
THE WAR PROGRAM
Table A shows the status of the cumulative authorized
war and national defense proo;ram at three stages: (1) at
the beginning of the fiscal year 1946, when it was at a
maximum; (2) at the beginning of tlie fiscal year 1947,
after about 60 billion dollars of appropriations and author-
izations had been rescinded or otherwise carried to sm-plus
dm-ing the preceding year; and (3) on Jmie 30, 1947,
accordmg to present estimates. The coverage conforms
to the "National defense" category used in the Budget and
in the daily statement of the United States Treasury during
the war years. Authorizations, expenditures, and unex-
pended balances are given for both the activities m
the general and special accounts and the Government
corporations.
Table B shows war expenditures for the period July 1,
1940, to June 30, 1947, classified according to the agency
making the expenditure. The coverage corresponds to
the old "National defense" category used in the Budget
and in the daily statement of the United States Treasury
during the war years. The figures for expenditures
shown for the several agencies are not quite comparable
to those reported in the daily statement, because for the
purposes of this analysis United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration and other expenditures
have generally been distributed by spending agency. In
the case of terminal leave payments and bonds issued
under the Armed Forces Leave Act of 1946, however, the
amounts are shown under "other" agencies rather than
under the spending or issuing agency. These figures for
expenditures are also not comparable with the appropria-
tions recorded for the various agencies, since the expendi-
tures of funds allocated from appropriations to the Presi-
dent— such as the defense aid and United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration appropriations — are
recorded according to the agency making the expenditure.
Table C distributes the expenditures shown as war ac-
tivities in the old "National defense" category among the
categories where they fall under the new functional
classification. Expenditures in both the general and
special accounts and Government corporation war ac-
tiv^ities are shown for the fiscal years 1946 and 1947, classi-
fied by major category and subcategory of the new func-
tional classification, with major spending agencies set out
separately.
As might be expected, the figures in table C indicate
that the bulk of the old "National defense" expenditures
remain in the same category. The more important shifts
are to "International affairs and finance" (UNRRA and
government and relief in occupied areas), "Agriculture
and agricultural resources" (RFC food subsidies), "Nat-
ural resources not primarily agricultural" (Manhattan
District atomic energy activities after January 1, 1947),
"Transportation ancl communication" (United States
Maritime Commission and War Shipping Administra-
tion), and to "General government" (especially War
Assets Administration).

EXPLANATION OF THE ESTIMATES OF RECEIPTS
The estimates of receipts from taxes and customs for
the current and the ensuing fiscal years are prepared in
December each year by the Treasury Department. The
estimates of miscellaneous receipts in gencal are prepared
by the agency depositing the receipts in the Treasury.
TOTAL RECEIPTS
Total receipts, general and special accounts (daily
Treasury statement basis) are estimated in the amounts
of $41,584.6 millions m the fiscal year 1947 and $39,717.5
millions in the fiscal year 1948. Estimated total receipts
in the fiscal year 1947 show a decline of $2,654 millions
from actual 1946 receipts; estimated total receipts for
1948 represent a further decrease of $1,867.2 millions.
The details of the estimated and actual receipts are
shown in table 7, pages a11-a20. Throughout the tables
shown in this exposition the figm'es are rounded and will
not necessarily add to totals. The exposition utilizes the
Budget classification of receipts. The footnotes to the
table outline the differences between this classification and
the Treasury classification of receipts.

1 The Budget classification of taxes differs in several respects from the classification
used by the Treasury Department in the daily Treasury statement. In the Budget
classification, the Treasury "income tax" is divided into "direct taxes on individuals"
and "direct taxes on corporations," except that the imjust enrichment tax is placed in
"excise taxes." The Budget classification removes from the Treasury "miscellaneous
internal revenue", the estate and gift taxes, which are placed in "direct taxes on indi-
viduals," and the capital stock tax, which is placed in "direct taxes on corporations."
The Budget "excise taxes" consists of the Treasury "miscellaneous internal revenue"
less the capital stock, estate, and gift taxes and plus the unjust enrichment tax. The
Budget "employment taxes" consists of the Treasury "social security taxes," "taxes
upon carriers and their employees," and "railroad miemployment insurance contribu-
tions."
Amounts shown for the fiscal year 1946 are on the basis of the daily Treasury statement
as far as possible. Since the classification used in the daily Treasury statement does not
correspond exactly to the Budget classification, it is necessary to allocate arbitrarily some
of the adjustments from the detailed collections basis to the daily Treasury statement
basis. The adjustment from the collections basis to the daily Treasury statement basis
for "miscellaneous internal revenue" is contained in "excise taxes" and the adjustment
for "income tax: other" (other than withheld by employers) is contained in "direct
taxes on individuals." The total amounts for employment taxes, customs, and mis-
cellaneous receipts are on the basis of the daily Treasury statement. All details of taxes,
other than "income tax, withheld by employers" and the details of "employment taxes,"
are on the basis of collections. Details of miscellaneous receipts are on the basis of war-
rants issued.
Direct taxes on individuals continue as the leading
source of revenue, and although remaining at relatively
stable absolute amounts in 1947 and 1948, increase as a
percentage of total receipts. In 1948 they account for
almost half of estimated total receipts. Du'ect taxes on
corporations decline substantially both in absolute
amount and as a percentage of total receipts but maintain
their position as the second most important revenue
source. Excise taxes increase on both absolute and per-
centage bases in 1947 but decline on both bases in 1948.
Receipts from employment taxes are estimated to increase
on both absolute and percentage bases. Customs in-
crease slightly in amount and as a percentage of total
receipts. Miscellaneous receipts increase on both bases
in 1947 but decrease in absolute amount and on a per-
centage basis in 1948.

Actual receipts in the fiscal year 1946, for the first time
in 7 yeare, showed a decline from receipts of the previous
fiscal year. Estimated 1947 receipts continue this trend.
The estimated decrease in direct taxes on corporations is
mainly responsible for the decrease in 1947. The large
decrease in direct taxes on corporations in the fiscal year
1947 as compared with the fiscal year 1946 reflects lower
corporation profits and legislative changes.
In spite of the estimated higher levels of income on which
the individual income taxes collected in the fiscal year 1947
are based, the reductions in the yield caused by the
changes in the law made by the Revenue Act of 1945 re-
sulted in a small net decrease in direct taxes on individuals.
Excise taxes are expected to increase because of higher
income levels and an increased supply of taxable com-
modities.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1948
Estimated individual income tax receipts in the fiscal
year 1947 show decreases as compared with the fiscal year
1946 in all categories except back taxes. The decreases
in current individual income tax receipts, in spite of rising
levels of income on which such taxes were based, were
caused by lower effective rates of tax resulting from the
passage of the Eevenue Act of 1945. This measure re-
duced normal and surtax rates, increased the normal tax
exemptions, and leduced the rate of withholding effective
in the calendar year 1946. About 95 percent of tlie tax
receipts in the fiscal year 1947 represent liabilities under
the Kevenue Act of 1945 compared with approximately 30
percent in the fiscal year 1946. The peak individual in-
come tax liabilities of the past few years are the source of
the steadily mcreasing receipts from back taxes. Estate
and gift tax receipts increase in the fiscal year 1947 as a
result of the higher valuation of property subject to tax.

Corporation income and excess profits taxes in the fiscal
year 1947 reflect incomes and tax provisions of the calen-
dar years 1945 and 1946 while receipts in the fiscal year
1946 were based on incomes and tax provisions of the cal-
endar years 1944 and 1945. The decrease in estimated
receipts for the fiscal year 1947 as compared with the fiscal
year 1946 therefore reflects a part-year effect of the repeal
of the excess profits tax and the declared value excess
profits tax, and a reduction of surtax rates effective with
years begmning after December 31, 1945, and in addition
a lower level of corporation profits estimated for the calen-
dar year 1946 as compared with the calendar year 1944.
The repeal of the capital stock tax with respect to years
ending after June 30, 1945, also affects direct taxes on
corporations as only small delinquent taxes wUl be col-
lected in the fiscal year 1947.

Reflecting mcreased effective consumer demand, receipts
from liquor taxes, tobacco ta.xes, retailers' excise taxes,
miscellaneous taxes, and manufactiu-ers' excise taxes are
estimated to increase in the fiscal year 1947 as compared
with the fiscal year 1946. The greatest increase occurs
in manufacturers' excise taxes where an augmented supply
of taxable commodities reinforces the higher consumer
demand. Stamp taxes declme as a result of an estimated
decrease m the activity in security markets.

The estimated increase in receipts in the fiscal year
1947 over the fiscal year 1946 is based on higher industrial
and raflroad pay rolls and on an increase in the tax rate
mider the Railroad Retirement Tax Act. The rate
change, from 3K percent to 5% percent each on the carriers
and their employees beginning January 1, 1947, will
increase receipts under this act m the last quarter of the
fiscal year 1947.
Customs. — Customs receipts are estunated to be $495.7
millions in the fiscal year 1947. This is an increase of
$60.2 miUions over receipts of $435.5 millions in the fiscal
year 1946.
Miscellaneous receipts. — The large increase in receipts
from the sale of surplus property, partially oft'set by a
decrease in recoveries from renegotiation of war contracts,
is responsible for the increase in miscellaneous receipts.

Net i-eceipts in the fiscal year 1948 are expected to show
a decrease of $2,499.6 millions from the fiscal year 1947.
Direct taxes on corporations, excise taxes and miscel-
laneous receipts are responsible for the declme in revenues.
The first occm's, despite higher profit levels, because of tax
legislation enacted in 1945 but not fully reflected m re-
ceipts until the fiscal year 1948. The decrease in re-

tax rates on certain excise taxes effective July 1, 1947, in

accordance with the Presidential Proclamation of De-
cember 31, 1946, declaring the termination of hostilities as

surplus property.

The corporation uacome level affecting fiscal year 1948
receipts, namely, the combined income level of the calen-
dar years 1946 and 1947, is estimated to be greater than
the combined income level of the calendar years 1945 and
1946 which determmes receipts in the fiscal year 1947.
However, as fiscal year 1948 receipts reflect virtually the
fuU year effect of the repeal of the excess profits and de-
clared value excess profits taxes and the reduction of
surtax rates enacted in the Revenue Act of 1945 whereas
receipts in the fiscal year 1947 show only a one-half year
effect, receipts in the fiscal year 1948 are estimated to be
smaller than in 1947.

All major sources of receipts from excise taxes decrease
in the fiscal year 1948 as compared with the fiscal year
1947 except stamp taxes and manufacturers' excise taxes.
The decrease in tax rates effective July 1, 1947, in accord-
ance with the declaration of the termination of hostilities
as of December 31, 1946, is primarily responsible for the
large decreases in collections from liquor, retailers' excise
and miscellaneous taxes. Manufacturers' excise ^tax re-
ceipts increase as a result of the continuing improvement
in the supply of taxable items. Stamp taxes show a
small increase reflecting increased activity in security
markets.

The increase in receipts in the fiscal year 1948 over
receipts in the fiscal year 1947 is the result of an estimated
increase in salaries and wages and of increases in the tax
rates imposed by two of the emplojonent taxes. Under
the Federal Insurance Contributions Act the tax rate is
scheduled to change from 1 percent to 2)^ percent each on
emplo3^ers and employees on January 1, 1948. This
increase in rates will raise receipts in the last quarter of
the fiscal year by $595 millions. Receipts under the Rail-
road Retirement Tax Act \vill be collected throughout the
fiscal year 1948 at the higher rate of 5% percent each on
the carriers and their employees, which goes into effect
on January 1, 1947, rather than at the former rate of Sji
percent on each.
Customs. — Receipts from customs duties are expected
to amount to $517.3 millions in the fiscal year 1948, an
increase of $21.6 millions over receipts in the fiscal year
1947.
Miscellaneous receipts. — Decreases in receipts from the
sales of surplus property and recoveries from renegotia-
tion of war contracts account for the estimated decrease in
miscellaneous receipts in the fiscal year 1948.

INTRODUCTION TO THE APPENDIXES
Appendix 1 (Analysis of the Public Debt) shows the
outstanding public debt by types of indebtedness. The
difference between the total public debt outstanding at
the end of fiscal years 1945 and 1946 appears in table 5
as the net increase in public debt during the fiscal year
1946.
Appendix 2 (Guaranteed Obligations and Contingent
Liabilities of the United States) Usts guaranteed obliga-
tions and contingent liabilities as of June 30, 1946.
Appendix 3 (Permanent Appropriations, general and
special accounts) shows these permanent appropriations
for the fiscal j'Cars 1946, 1947, and 1948. They have been
enacted by Congress at various times and the acts remain
in effect until repealed or amended. This appendix does
not include permanent trust appropriations. Most of the
trust appropriations listed in table 17 are of the permanent
type.
Appendix 4 (Comparison of Expenditures by Organiza-
tion Units) compares cash expenditures of departments
and agencies and their constituent units over a 7-year
period. In several instances, there have been reorganiza-
tions and certain activities have been transferred between
departments and agencies. In such cases, annual ex-
penditures throughout the 7-year period have been
readjusted upon the pattern of organization on June 30,
1946. Footnotes indicate the date of the transfer and
the name of the earlier agency.
AppendLx 5 (Unexpended Balances of General and
Special Account Appropriations, etc.) shows the unex-
pended balances of appropriations (a) on the books of the
Treasury and (b) to the credit of disbursing officers as of
June 30, 1946. It also shows appropriations for the fiscal
year 1947 as of November 1, 1946.
Appendix 6 (Budget Receipts and Expenditures) pre-
sents a historical comparison (1939-48) for budget receipts

" Under the Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1947, salaries for the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance are payable directly from the Federal old-age and sur-
vivors insurance trust fund. Prior to July 1, 1946, such payments were included in general expenditures, under the caption "Federal Security Agency: Social Security Administra-
tion: administrative expenses," a corresponding amount being included as a deduction from appropriations to the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund, under the cap-
tion "Less reimbursements to general fund."
