Coast Guard activities. space. operation of the Federal airwaysare estimated to total $7.3 billion. All other activities of Government in 1964 are estimated to involve expenditures out of current appropriations of $4.8 billion. They include Public Health Service hospital and medical care. weather services. the conduct of foreign affairs. the manufacture of currency and coins. antitrust activities. the Patent Office. assistance for Cuban refugees. the suppression or prevention of fraud in the sale and trading of securities. the marketing of power generated by our hydrdelectric projects. the maintenance of our national parks and forests. retraining of the unemployed. water supplies for water short areas. meat inspection. and protection against harmful cosmetics and drugs. Sharp reductions in expenditures for these activities. especially in a short time. would inevitably result in interrupting public services which are needed and expected by many segments of our population. The problems come more clearly into focus when we take note of the fact that almost 5 months of the fiscal year have already passed and cannot be affected by efforts to cut back spending.
