Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen of the committee, I am honored to appear before you with my staff to explain our 1965 budget, as well as our supplemental requirements for 1964. Our budget estimates for fiscal year 1965, as transmitted by the President in January, totaled $5,442,971,000. Since then, there have been two amendments: We have reduced our estimates for "General operating expenses" and "Medical administration and miscellaneous operating expenses" by $1 million and $30,000, respectively. Also, our January submission contemplated a supplemental in 1964 under the "Construction of hospital and domiciliary facilities" appropriation to provide alterations incident to activation of 2,000 nursing home beds. This requirement is now reflected as an amendment in our 1965 estimates. Senator MAGNUSON. All right, what you are going to talk about further on in your statement are additions to the budget estimate of $5.442 billion, is that correct? Mr. MONK. And some reductions. Senator MAGNUSON. $1.30 million. Mr. MONK. That is right, sir. Mr. GLEASON. Plus the $5 million. Senator MAGNUSON. Yes. Well that is what you are coming to. Mr. GLEASON. Right. Senator MAGNUSON. All right. |
