EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
WASHINGTON 25, D. C. .. '
APR 8 1957
Ivey dear Mr. Dulles :
We are preparing plans for the 1959 fiscal year budget and also
need your best estimates as to plans and forecasts for 1960, 1961,
and 1962. For planning purposes it seems desirable to set the 1959
budget totals significantly lower than those of the 1958 budget as
presented to Congress. This applies both to new obligational authority
and estimated expenditures, and will be necessary if we are to
consider recommending some tax reductions a year from now effective
for fiscal 1959.
It is also desirable that the general level of expenditures be
held at about the current level over the following three years. Some
increases will, of course, be found necessary during this period. It
is therefore essential that a searching review be made of existing
programs and advantage taken of every possibility for reductions. In
submitting your preliminary estimate for the four-year period, please
identify those areas in which you feel that some increases are
necessary and also those other areas in which reductions may be possible.
Your statements need not be prepared in great detail but should
set forth major changes in your principal programs. Such summarization
will allow sufficient time for assembly and discussion before decisions
are reached regarding the administration policy for this period. We
would appreciate receiving your preliminary estimates for both new
obligational authority and expenditures by May 1. After determination
of administration policy, necessary revisions in the estimates for this
whole period can be prepared and submitted to the Bureau of the Budget
by June 1 as the basis for discussion and the establishment of specific
ceilings and targets for the 1959 budget.
Instructions as to the form of the preliminary estimates and the
procedure and time schedule for handling then are being communicated
to your budget officer. We are planning to complete the establishment
of ceilings and targets before June 30, 1957.
Sincerely yours,,
Honorable Allen W. Dulles
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
Washington 25, D. C.
