The program for the national forests-Budget estimate for 1962 by Eisenhower administration, showing the relationship of the maximum annual costs for each program category to the amounts provided to date and proposed in the 1962 Budget estimates-Con.

Program for the national forests, showing the relationship of the maximum annual costs for each program category to the amounts provided to date and proposed in the 1962 budget amendment by President Kennedy

1 Adjusted by transfer of amounts previously shown for ranger district management
and land utilization projects to other projects within "National forest protection and
management."

Includes $700,000 transfer from "Cooperative range improvements."
Excludes $1,881,800 as explained in "Reconciliation" at bottom of table.

4 Amounts shown exclude the portion of forest research related to nonnational forest
land which is not a part of the national forest program. For all research projects listed
this amount totals $7,032,200 as shown in "Reconciliation" at bottom of table.

The actual program increase under appropriated funds is $7,500,000 but this is offset by an estimated decrease of $2,800,000 in the 10 percent of national forest receipts applied to this program. When the reduction of $2,800,000 in 10 percent of national forest receipts and the $500,000 in "Acquisition of lands, Superior National Forest," are excluded, the actual program increase under regular appropriations totals $17,527,300. 7 This amount is understated by about $11,000,000 due to increased pay act costs authorized subsequent to development of the program for the national forests.
