Budget Deficit Tied to Federal Aid and Reorganization
President Harding warned Congress that future spending cuts hinge on curbing federal aid in research and development. He outlined a 1924 outlay of 3.18 billion dollars, about 500 million less than this year, with two thirds fixed costs and a potential one billion subject to control. He urged reorganization and noted extraneous federal aid programs drive tax receipts. The budget estimates project a 180.97 million surplus over expenditures for 1924, with postal and army costs detailed and a regular army goal set at 12,000 officers and 125,000 enlisted men.
