[[underline]] Operating Budget -- Appropriated Funds [[/underline]]

The draft Prospectus submitted last October reflected the Institution's request to OMB for the fiscal year 1989 salaries and expenses (S&E) budget.  At that time, the Institution was seeking an S&E allowance of $205 million.  Enactment of the Omnibus Continuing Resolution for fiscal year 1988 in late December 1987 resulted in an S&E appropriate of $201 million.  On this base, OMB has allowed the Institution to seek in fiscal year 1989 approximately $6 million for covering the costs of the new Federal retirement system, necessary pay, pay costs associated with the legislated increases that began in January 1988, and approximately $10 million for increases associated with rent, utilities, and enhancement of programs and operations.  As a result of these OMB actions, the Smithsonian will be seeking a total of $217 million and 4,210 full-time permanent positions in Salaries and Expenses for fiscal year 1989.  Of that sum, salaries and benefits for Federal employees in fiscal year 1989 are estimated at approximately $145 million, and the balance of $72 million is necessary to cover utilities, rent, supplies, and other costs.

The $83 million growth projected by fiscal year 1993 remains largely associated with items as outlined in the September Prospectus.  Of the $83 million increase, staff salaries and benefits associated with an estimated 600 full-time additional new hires over the period amount to about $17 million.  About $34 million is associated with the cumulative effect of legislated pay and necessary pay increases, and $15 million is projected to cover inflation in utilities, supplies and materials.  The remaining $17 million is projected for other cost such as equipment and basic research instrumentation.
