MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: 1983 Budget
During the next six weeks, I expect to make final decisions
on nearly all aspects of the
1983
budget
that
I must
submit
to the Congress in January.
This
budget
will
reflect
my firm
commitment to hold down government spending and reduce the
serious adverse effect that government spending and government-
stimulated borrowing is having on the national economy.
In September, you were advised of the outlay ceilings
for
1983
and 1984 that I approved for your department or agency
for
the
purpose of guiding. the development of the requeot that
you
.
have submitted to the Office of Management and Budget. There
will be very few, if any, cases where it will be possible for
us to exceed those outlay ceilings. In some cases, it will
be necessary to go even lower..
The Office of Management and Budget is reviewing your requests,
and you will begin receiving the results of these reviews.
I hope that there will be very few appeals but, if you find
that an appeal is absolutely necessary, you should submit that
appeal within 72 hours of the time you are notified of the initial
decision. I have instructed Dave Stockman and his staff to
work with you to resolve as many appeals as possible.
If some unresolved issues remain, I will look to the Budget
Review Board that I established last July (consisting of Ed
Meese, Jim Baker and Dave Stockman) to meet with you to consider
any remaining appeal. You should be prepared to submit any
matter unresolved at that level to me within 24 hours after
you are advised of the Board's decision.
We have made good progress in bringing the size and cost of
government under control, but we have a long way to go. Your
continued cooperation in this effort is sincerely appreciated.
