SUBJECT: FY 1974 Congressional Budget Roark
Chuck,
I have reviewed the data whic Iprovided us this
Morning regarding the dis t ibrition e t gency Dollar Budge t
51 M
Reduction for FY 1974. Frankly, I as troubled. First, by the
rationale behind requiring SW ostensibly to absorb nearly one
half of the Agency reduction. Second, I feel that the proposal
to proceed with
then not program FY74 monies in
our budget, d rig e
epen on a reserve release, is not a
forthright way of proceeding with our commitments and may well
be considered by O1IB as dishonest. Moreover, this approach
would not be consistent with a contractual comnitnt to our
contractor which presumes an intention by the government to
proceed with FY74 funding. 1 an concerned that we make such a
co=i ;meat with "tongue in cheek" if we do not include the funds
in our FY74 budget.
