Total 1960 estimate--

106, 112, 000 NOTE 1.-The deduction of $231,579 for costs incurred as a result of the Middle East emergency includes $119,721 for the broadcasting service, $68,159 for evacuation of USIS American personnel and their dependents, $26,312 for the press and publications service, and $17,387 for a special radio project.

NOTE 2:--The deduction of $327,506 represents the cost in 1959 of positions eliminated as follows: 10 Amer.
ican and 104 local employee positions in the Near East, South Asian and African area, 6 American positions
in the West European area, 3 American positions in the East European area, and 20 domestic, 25 overseas
American and 63 local employee positions in the broadcasting service.
NOTE 3.-The amount of $4,611,243 represents the net_change from the 1959 to the 1960 estimates after
allowance for the costs incurred as a result of the Middle East emergency, the cost of positions eliminated in
1959, and the additional extra day's pay required in 1960. In addition to requested changes in the levels
of programs, the net amount for each activity reflects (a) provision for the projection in 1960 of cost increases
(primarily higher wage rates for local employees) which have already occurred or are scheduled; (6) Il ll-year
costs in 1860 of activities begun in 1959 and funded for only part of that year; and (c),reductions in individual
activities which offset requested increases.
