President Kennedy has completed work on the next fiscal year's budget and officials expect a balanced outcome. No figures were released though speculation puts the size around 92 billion dollars, roughly 3 billion more than the current year.

White House press secretary Pierre Salinger said the back is stronger than last summer but full activity will take months to resume. The president remains in excellent general health and able to perform all duties.
