TABLE 1 B-1, 2.---NAVY DEPARTMENT BUDGET, 1936 Statement showing appropriations, amounts available for obligation, and amounts reserved, transferred, etc.-Fiscal year 1935 Statement showing appropriations, amounts available for obligation, and amounts reserved, transferred, etc.-Fiscal year 1935-Continued CASH WITHDRAWALS, 1935 Mr. CARY. Looking at the total of table I-B-1, 2 (combined) on sheet 4, of $419,137,479, representing the net total amount available for obligations, what are your Treasury withdrawals estimated to amount to for the current fiscal year? Admiral RICHARDSON. The information is supplied in the following table. 1 Largely uncompleted ships' costs. Costs of ships are obligated when contracts are made. $10,423,172 being obligated in 1935. $326, 969, 981 6,870, 600 2,870,000 142, 241, 037 135, 535 29,725,986 508,813, 139 Mr. CARY. I notice that last year the budget officer, Admiral Bloch' estimated that the withdrawals would amount to $313,530,725. Admiral RICHARDSON. In preparing the estimates for 1935 the Bureau of the Budget fixed an estimated cash withdrawal as a basis for preparing the estimates. But after the appropriations were made no arbitrary limit on cash withdrawals was fixed, and the Budget decided that the appropriations would be administered on the basis of the obligations to be incurred in 1935. However, the estimated cash withdrawals from regular naval appropriations for 1935 is $326,969,981. INTERCHANGE OF APPROPRIATIONS FISCAL YEARS 1934 AND 1935 Mr. MCLEOD. There is a provision in the economy act permitting any department of the Government to transfer funds up to 12 percent, I believe, that are not already obligated. How much of that was taken advantage of by the Navy Department? Admiral RICHARDSON. Table B-4 shows that in detail. Mr. CARY. At this point we will insert table B-4 in the record.
