</s>-FOR RELEASE ON RECEIPT -- Moffie Copy Statement by Rep. Gerald R. Ford-R.K.Mich. The President currently is working on the fiscal 1969 budget, which is as I January 9, 1968 understand it will be submitted to the Congress about Jan. 29 in three newly new formal. The new budget consistently will be a consolidation of three budgets formerly presented by Congress by the President-at-Administrative Budget with which more of us are familiar, the National Income Accounts Budget and the Cash Budget. I would be remembered that the Johnson Administration has a habit of changing I would find a note of caution concerning the new budget for fiscal 1969. the rules of the game whenever the office starts to go against it. Too often in the past we have found the Johnson administrationending has been upside down in does not conceal and making estimates fantastically far from the mark. The budgetary budget for the Johnson Administrator has been asymmetrical poor- and the proposed budget for Fiscal 1969 must be viewed in the light of that record. Let us not forget that President may not forecast a fiscal deficit deficit of 89.1 billion in January, 1967, only to raise the deficit estimate. In August to 89.2 billion with a total amount of $22 billion without estimate. Currently, as you know, the out of focus, for a certain amount of personal expenses. know, but for a few dollars, that President Johnson predicted a fiscal year 1967 Let us out of duty, either, that of President Johnson predicted a fiscal 1967 deficit of $18.8 billion in january of 1966 but wound up that fiscal year with an actual deficit of $9.9 millions. This scorecard indicates that you have to take a Johnson deficit estimate and multiply by at least three. This is President Johnson's budget has been recorded as a persistent deficit estimating his his mistakes and butler-butler made by whether looked upon upon as promises or projections, the money was not-butter made for the President as a budget document appear hardly to be worth the paper they are written on. If a housewife managed the family budget was way, way, her husband would say she was suffering from a credibility Gap. This is tragic in a time when the federal budget-financial report to the American people-should be looked upon as the most important financial document in the world. President Johnson's Budget should be a model of integrity. It affects the lives and pocketsbooks of all Americans and the financial underingsings of the western world. Its standards should be the highest. The Johnson Administration's budgetary record can only fill us with maggivings. 099 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176
