An itemization of these reductions in advance of actual experience under this plan is not practicable.

The savings to be realized from the transfers provided for in the plan cannot be predicted in detail at this time.

The 'must' list was included in three very large messages which I sent to the Congress, one on the State of the Union, one on the budget, and one on economics; and that is the 'must' list.

I have the honor to transmit herewith for the consideration of the Congress supplemental estimates of appropriation in the amount of $2,434,441,000 for the fiscal year 1949 for the National Military Establishment, in the form of amendments to the Budget for the said fiscal year.

The Director of the Bureau of the Budget shall maintain a continuous surveillance of governmental publication of statistical data.

Provided, that prior to establishing such uniform terminology, classifications, principles, and standards, they shall be referred to the Comptroller General of the United States for consideration and determination as to whether they are in conflict with the forms, systems, and procedures prescribed by the Comptroller General as required by section 309 of the Budget and Accounting Act.

The details of this estimate, the necessity therefor, and the reason for its transmission at this time are set forth in the letter of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget transmitted herewith, with whose comments and observations thereon I concur.

It will serve no good purpose and will fool no one to try to cover appearances by resorting to a so-called 'extraordinary Budget.'

The amount of saving in public funds to be effected by a thoroughgoing reorganization, while difficult to estimate accurately, will be material, amounting to many millions of dollars annually.

In view of the fact that our receipts are falling off materially from the amount estimated at the time of the preparation of the Budget for 1932 and of the consequent large deficit indicated for the current fiscal year, I wish again to bring to your attention the seriousness of our financial situation and desire that you assure yourself that all those in your establishment are impressed with the urgent need for economies and postponements in view of this emergency.

Of the appropriations for this next year and these balances, it is expected that about $20 million will be saved during the next year.

The details of this estimate, the necessity therefor, and the reason for its submission at this time are set forth in the letter of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, transmitted herewith, with whose comments and observations thereon I concur.

I have the honor to transmit herewith for the consideration of Congress an estimate of appropriation for the Department of Labor for salaries and expenses, Bureau of Immigration, for the fiscal year 1932, amounting to $500,000, which is supplemental to the estimate of $9,617,740 contained in the Budget for the fiscal year 1932.

Nearly eighty million dollars of the expenditures under these appropriations were included in the estimates of expenditures during this year contained in the Budget for the fiscal year 1932.

The result of which is to impose this sum upon the regular budget and in effect increase emergency relief by that amount.

The normal amount now is $125 million a year, and the provisions are that $75 million to $80 million be advanced in the balance of this fiscal year, to be repaid by donations over the subsequent 5 years.

In my annual message to the Congress, I requested that an appropriation of from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 be granted for this purpose, and this estimate is in furtherance of that request.

Programs now authorized will carry it to still larger figures in future years.
