-12- [[underlined]] FINANCIAL REPORT [[/underlined]] Mr. Wheeler reported the following: [[underlined]] Status of Federal Appropriations [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] Fiscal Year 1978 [[/underlined]]: The current year's FY 1978 appropriation of a total of $99,265,000 was reported at the last Regent's meeting. More recently the Smithsonian has submitted to OMB a pay supplemental appropriation request for FY 1978 of $5,227,000 for Salaries and Expenses and $85,000 for the Science Information Exchange; this would cover this year's costs of the recent federal pay raises as well as the full-year cost of the Executive Level pay raise effective February 20, 1977. In addition, a program supplemental of $1,422,000 was requested to meet uncontrollable cost increases resulting from higher rates for steam, electricity, oil, gas and postage and the additional cost of January 1978 changes in health insurance rates. We expect word on this request from OMB in near future.* [[underlined]] Fiscal Year 1979 [[/underlined]]: The allowance received from OMB in November for our FY 1979 request to Congress is shown below, compared to the original request and actual FY 1978 appropriation (excluding any supplemental): [[5 column table]] | [[underlined]] FY 1978 (Excl. Supplmtl) | FY 1979 Request | FY 1979 Allowance | Increase [[/underlined]] Salaries & Expenses | $88,238 | $ 92,648 | $ 90,656 | $2,418 SSIE | 1,777 | 2,858 | 2,133 | 356 Foreign Currency | 4,000 | 3,700 | 3,700 | (300) Construction | [[underlined]] 5,250 | 8,470 | 7,575 | 2,325 [[/underlined]] Total | $99,265 | $107,676 | $104,064 | $4,799 [[/5 column table]] *[[underlined]] Note [[/underlined]]: On Supplemental Appropriation request, OMB has since allowed $4,815,000 and $85,000 respectively, for SI and SSIE pay increases (none toward executive salary increase); and for increased utility costs: $1,100,000 for FY 1978 and $800,000 for FY 1979.
