(1) House Report No. 97;170 (July 9, 1981) on H.R. 4120 recommended a $816,000 appropriation for
FY-1982 and Public Law 97-51 of October 1, 1981 (H.J. Res. 325) "Continuing Appropriations for
Fiscal Year 1982" appropriated $816,000 for fiscal year 1982.

(2) This figure represents the 4% cost-of-living increase effective October 1, 1982, and the 1.3%
increase for Agency Contribution for Medicare from January 1, 1983 September 30, 1983.

(3) These nine staff positions were not filled for varying periods due to the retirement, resignation,
reassignment or death of staff members.

(4) These figures include the 4% cost-of-living increase effective October 1, 1982.

'This is the reduced amount requested by the Joint Committee on Printing subsequent to the request for $922,000 shown in the President's budget. Public Law 97-51 of October 1, 1981 (H.J. Res. 325), Continuing Appropriations For Fiscal Year 1982, appropriated $816,000.

This is in response to the request from your Subcommittee staff for the Joint Committee's fiscal 1984 budget estimate.

The following is the Joint Committee's budget estimate for FY 84, as submitted to the Clerk of the House on October 15, 1982:

(Thus,

The Joint Committee's current FY 84 budget estimate of
$3,309,000 is $76,000 higher than the FY 83 appropriation
amount of $3,233,000 (as provided in H. J. Res. 599, First
Continuing Appropriations for FY 83). The $76,000 increase
is solely for the October 1982 Federal pay adjustment.
the $76,000 is the current amount estimated for the FY 83 pay
supplemental appropriation.) However, according to the House
Finance Office, there will be an additional amount of $68,000
for the FY 83 supplemental to take into account the raising
of the Federal pay ceiling, as well as an additional $86,000
for the FY 84 budget estimate. Therefore, the revised FY 84
budget estimate will be $3,395,000.

JOINT COMMITTEE ON TAXATION

Washington, B.C. 20515

There are some increases in Non-Personnel costs anticipated for FY 84, such as for computer and consultant services and copier equipment leasing, but which are currently estimated to be offset by reduction in costs for the word processing system. The attached table shows a comparison of the budget estimates of Non-Personnel costs for FY 83 and FY 84.

As of the present time, we do not foresee additional program needs for the four fiscal years following FY 84. However, this may change if added personnel or computerrelated costs are necessary to meet the Joint Committee's future workload.

If you or your staff have any questions concerning the Joint Committee's budget estimates, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Mark McConaghy
