A long range advisory council estimates Social Security trust funds excluding Medicare could total 326 billion by end of 1985, more than three quarters of the current federal debt and nearly 50 percent of the 1972 federal budget.

The group urges no tax-rate increases before 1976 and notes safety margins against future benefit payments. Readers are advised of a Social Security book offering updated regulations and Medicare and Social Security information.
