Kennedy Seeks 92.5 Billion Budget For 1963 Growth And Strength
President Kennedy sent Congress a 92.5 billion dollar budget for the 1963 fiscal year the largest peacetime total. He aims for a modest 500 million surplus and calls the plan a blueprint for national growth and strength. The proposal includes tax cuts on travel rail and bus and a one cent raise on letters and air mail stamps. Budget hinges on Berlin crisis resolution and continued economic expansion. The plan envisions 1600 ballistic missiles 30000 aircraft and 2,684,000 armed personnel plus space mastery with moon flight by 1970. Congressional reaction split along party lines with praise from Democrats and skepticism from Republicans. The budget faces possible cuts and revenue shifts from Congress.
