He convened seven congressional leaders and urged budget restraint for the 1965 fiscal year, aiming to keep the budget under 100 billion dollars and possibly below Kennedy's 98.9 billion proposal. He ordered probes into agency overhead and instructed Defense and Budget officials to pursue cost consciousness in promotions and staffing.

Supreme Court Refuses New Murder Trial for Lima and Ashley
The U S Supreme Court declines to intervene as District Attorney Briscoe loses in a bid to overturn a New Orleans Circuit panel that ordered a new trial for Carolyn Lima and Leslie Ashley, convicted in the 1961 torch slaying of Ifred A. Tones in Houston. A new trial could be scheduled for 1964, potentially as early as late January or February, with plans to seek the death penalty again. Ashley, 25, from Hot Springs Arkansas, and Lima, 20, spent years on death row after a 1961 jury verdict. The appellate court faulted Briscoe for not providing defense access to a psychiatrist opinion on competency. The Supreme Court’s action upholds that decision.
