1. That the Institution work toward a unified or consolidated budget for all the activities of the Institution, with activities and funding divided into sections best suited to consideration by the Office of Management and Budget, the Congress and the Regents. To initiate this procedure the Executive Committee recommends that the budget estimates for the budget year (fiscal year 1980) as submitted by the Secretary be approved for presentation to OMB and the Congress;

2. That the Regents review the federal appropriations enactment for the current year (fiscal year 1979) and authorize the Secretary to expend such funds in accordance with the approved budget;

3. That the Secretary review for the Regents the budget allocations he considers proper for nonappropriated funds, showing under each section of the consolidated budget the support he recommends from both the appropriated and non-appropriated funds available; the Secretary also recommend for Regents' approval all substantial reprogramming of funds he considers desirable and notify the appropriate Congressional committee of such actions.
