LEVINE Commisaioner F eb r ua r y 19, 19 71 JEROME H. LANTRY Deputy Commissioner Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Saint Paul, Minnesota Gentlemen and Madam: On January 29, 1971, President Richard Nixon sent his 19�2 budget to Congress requesting 229 billion dollars "for programs that were scrutinized to be certain that they would be managed effectively and efficiently . . . " Included in the 1972 budget is a proposal to cut library programs 25% below the fiscal 1971 budget. This is the third year in a row that A.dministration budget makers have sought to drastically reduce or entirely eliminate library programs. The Office of Management and Budget might more appropriately be labeled TOMB, instead of OMB, judging from its repeated attempts to bury library programs. Specifi- cally, the budget recommendations for the fiscal year beginning Julyl, 1971, for the major library programs - ESEA Title II, HEA.T'itle II, L5CA, and the Medical Library Assistance Act (MLAA.) -- amount to $120, 759, 000. This represents a 25% cut below the $161, 629, 000 ap- priated for the same programs for the fiscal year 1971. For the Library 5ervices and Constructi.on A.ct, $18, 000, 000 is being requested, a 56°jo cut below the $40, 709, 000 provided for library services last year. I ask today that the 5aint Paul City Council go on record urgi�ng the Congress of the United States to provide fu.nds for the Library Services and Construction Act (PL 91-600) at the FY 1972 authorization of $207, 000, 000. During the last several years, our Saint Paul Public Library ha.s been able to undertake a number of projects of tremendous benefit to the community with the aid of LSCA funds. The reciprocal �� .� � `' ` Mayor and City Council -2- February 19, 1971 bor�owing program making it possible for all those living in the seven- county metropolitan area to use the facilities of any library in the area will be in serious jeopardy if funds are reduced. In the event that the appropriation for the Library Services and Construc- tion Act (LSCA.) follows President Nixon's budget recommendation, the Saint Paul Public Libraries grant for the reciprocal borrowing program would be reduced from approximately $100, 000 to $40, 000. This would make it extremely difficult to continue the 5aturday opening schedule fo r branch libraries instituted recently. I ask for, and the people of this area will appreciate, your support for the attached resolution. Yo rs very truly, LEONA.RD W.
