T1IE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA KAR10N S. EARPY, JR. Moyer WASH1XGTOX. D. C. 2 000 1 The Honorable Arrington Dixon Chairman, Council of the District of Columbia District Building 14th and E Streets, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20004 Dear Chairman Dixon: Today, I am forwarding, for Council review and action, the Executive's FY 79 Supplemental Budget request of $79.7 million. An FY 80 Budget Amendment proposal of approximately $45.0 million will follow by February 28, 1979. As you review these requests, I am certain you will find them responsive to our current budgetary demands. These requests meet our Mandatory inflation-produced and court-ordered increases. Moreover, they provide urgently needed and long- overdue assistance to District citizens in the areas of youth employment, housing, college education and support of the arts. These two budget requests should be reviewed as a package, along with FY 79 and FY 80 financial plans, because they are closely intertwined. Funding for both requests depends on the same sources of funds; namely, receipt of the full authorized federal payment and use of revenue estimate increases and opening cash balances. Because Congress will shortly be reviewing our previously adopted FY 80 budget, beginning March 5, 1979, it is in the District's best interests to complete our actions on supple¬ mental FY 79 and FY 80 amended budgets as soon as possible.
