In his Budget Message, President Johnson projects
expenditures of 195 billion, receipts of 198 billion and a
surplus of 3 billion. Thanks to the bi-partisan enactment
last summer of expenditure control and a surtax, last year's
deficit of more than 25 billion is then being followed by a
projected surplus this year and next.
The elimination of the large deficit has been a
significant first step toward countering strong inflationary
conditions in our economy -- a step urgently important at
home and internationally. Such fiscal restraint must continue.
On the revenue side, the message recommends that
the surtax be continued in order that anticipated revenue will
be adequate for a projected surplus. Expenditures projected
in the Budget Message are derived from the assumption that
spending for the Vietnam War will remain close to present levels
for the next fiscal year. They also reflect the projected
cost of the present administration's civilian programs.
If expenditures were to be approved at levels pro-
jected in the Budget Message, I would support the view that
extension of the surtax would be essential for responsible
fiscal policy.
The incoming administration has, ofcourse, not par-
ticipated in any way in program decisions reflected in

President Johnson's budget. We shall examine these programs
item by item for possible savings, and we shall also explore
ways for dealing with our socialand economic problems that
would not throw so much of the burden on the Federal Budget.
It remains my conviction that the surtax should
end as soon as the requirements for war, the budget outlook
and economic conditions will permit.

MEMO TO: The President-Elect

THOUGHTS FOR THE STANS COCKTAIL PARTY/DINNER
Maury is one of those members of the Cabinet
whom I had specifically in mind when I referred to an
"extra dimension". He has the capacities to be Director
of the Budget --- and has been Secretary of the
Treasury, or Secretary of Commerce. He has a brilliant
history in the business community and an impressive
background in party politics. He is the best fund-rais er
of them all
and I can testify to that.
When we were considering the qualifications
of the fellow we wanted as finance chairman of the
primary campaign and the general election, two considera-
tions were paramount.
First, he had to have the gilmet eye of an
accountant
---
keep his eyes on the pennies and
Maury is a fellow who fits that admirably as Dwight
Eisenhower will testify.
-1-
Secondly, we need what we call in politics a
"big game hunter". A finance chairman in a presidential
campaign can't waste his time on the squirrels and
rabbits. He's got to go for the Big Game. And as I
look down the table here at Elmer and Clem and some of
the others I have to say, Maury, that, for a fund-
raiser, this is one hell of a trophy room.
If you want to find out who your true and best
friends are I have always believed that the time to
take inventory is when times are tough and the number
is smallest. Let me say that it was in those times
that I counted upon Maury Stans
---
and he was always
there
and that is why we are leaving town in a few
days and that is why I am here tonight.
Napoleon used to say that an army marches on
its stomach. Well, food is not the most important
commodity in a political campaign. Frankly, it is capital.
You can have the best candidate in the country, and the
best organization in the land. But if you lack the money
to put your message across and to take your show on the
road, you're finished.
-2-
This is where you gentlemen provided the
lubricants without which the wheels of the bandwagon
would never have begun to roll last February. This
was perhaps the best financed campaign in American
political history and that is what we needed to win
office from an incumbent Administration.
As I look around the room at all the distinguished
gentlemen here, I am convinced, Maury, that the way to
keep the economy moving along is to make sure that nobody
in here retires.
I will say that Maury has a great reputation
as a worrier. It is always, "Dick, are you sure we want
to do this", or "Dick, I'm concerned about the reaction
to that". That Cassandra streak seems always to be
present. I notice tonight that we are dining for
instance here in the Louis XVI Room who, as I recall,
was the only King of France who ever had his head cut
off by his constituents. "Maury, are you trying to warn
me about something?"

TO:
EHRLICHMAN
FROM:
RN
General Eisenhower called me tonight
and said that, while he was not going to put pressure
on, that Bill Marriott had been bugging him for me
to go to the Gala. Marriott said that once it was
announced that I was not going to be there that the
ticket sale, which would bring in a lot of money,
dropped off substantially.
I personally think that we ought to avoid
this event but I'would be interested to see if you
have any second thoughts on it. Mrs. Nixon, of course,
will be in Washington on Saturday. I don't know whether
it would be appropriate for her to go without me.
I don't think, incidentally, that she would do so, even
if we decided that it might be a good idea! Let me
have your thoughts on this as soon as possible.
