GENERAL STATEMENT

Mr. FLOOD. I see you have a prepared statement. How do you wish to proceed?

Secretary HODGSON. I thought, perhaps, it would be most effective for both our purposes for me to read it.

Mr. FLOOD. Suppose you do that.

Secretary HODGSON. Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, It is always a pleasure to appear before you to review the Department's accomplishments, to tell you of our plans for the coming fiscal year, and to discuss the resources we will need to carry out our responsibilities fully and well.

I have brought with me a full array of the Department's top managers to field your detailed questions on programs.

Through the years this subcommittee has become thoroughly familiar with our existing functions and programs. Accordingly, rather than dwell extensively on matters with which you are already familiar, today I want to emphasize changes-proposed changes in existing expenditure patterns and new areas for which we are requesting funds. So I will start with a mention of the major changes in the appropriations picture and our plans in three areas we think are of prime importance occupational safety and health, the work of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and manpower. Then, without trying to be comprehensive, I will touch on some high spots of our operations, and close with a few words about the future.

OVERVIEW OF 1973 BUDGET

First, let us look at the resource requirements for fiscal year 1973. They total just under $5 billion, a decrease of $564 million from the comparable amounts appropriated for 1972. The decrease is not primarily one for which we can take credit as budget pruners, but rather is due to anticipated improvement in the general economic situation that will result in fewer payments to eligible claimants for extended unemployment benefits in 1973 than we experienced in 1972.

As for some years past, the largest component of our budget-93.9 percent of total funding for fiscal 1973-goes for manpower programs. The very large decreases in some payments that are tied to economic conditions will more than balance some increases in these programs.

We estimate the Federal general fund appropriation for extended unemployment compensation benefit payments to private sector workers (including both permanent and temporary programs) at $600 million for 1972, which was the first year in which we sought appropriations for the program, but only $120 million in 1973. This $480 million decrease will result chiefly from the fact the national unemployment "trigger" is not expected to operate because the rate of insured unemployment should not exceed the 4.5 percent seasonally adjusted level for three consecutive months, and expirations of the temporary compensation benefits program after September 1972.

Benefits for unemployed veterans and Federal employees are also expected to drop from an $856.6 million appropriation in 1972 to $475 million in 1973, again primarily as a result of improvement in the economy. Some $121 million of the decrease is accounted for by use of 1972 funds for forward funding of 1971 payments, but a $260.6 million drop in actual benefit levels remains. This dramatic decrease—a drop of nearly 50 percent in the number of weeks compensated—is predicted because separations from both the Federal civilian service and the military are expected to decline and improvement in the economy should mean a shorter average duration of benefits.

The major dollar increases in 1973 are $250 million for the second year of Emergency Employment Assistance-from $1 billion in 1972 to $1.25 billion in 1973. This is the Emergency Employment Assistance Act that was passed last year. This means we are asking for the full amount authorized in the enabling legislation;

Fifty-five million dollars for grants to States for administration of the unemployment insurance and employment service programs;

Our 1973 OSHA budget request nearly doubles the 1972 amount, from $36.5 million in 1972 to $67.5 million in 1973. The largest part of this increase ($21.6 million) is to be used for grants to States for the support of safety and health programs. There are also funds for more compliance officers for standards development and for continued training and public information efforts.

Bureau of Labor Statistics-$7.4 million, primarily for the fourth increment of the 6-year program to update the Consumer Price Index and for improving measures of unemployment in the Nation:

Labor-Management Services Administration-$2 million mainly for strengthening of compliance activities under reporting and disclosure laws;

Department management-which includes Office of the Secretary; Bureau of International Labor Affairs and Office of the Solicitor
