It is too early in the year to identify any specific reprogrammings. However, the Institution will be required to absorb the 3.6% pay raise for all Federal employees effective January 1, 1990, the Gramm-Rudman sequestration and the unfunded utilities costs now payable to the District government. The Gramm-Rudman reduction will be approximately 1.7% less than the 5.3% cut originally reported November; effectively $9,617,000 has been restored to the fiscal year 1990 appropriation. It is estimated, on the other hand, that unfunded utilities will tax the Institution by $2.7 million.
