This folder contains materials collected by the office of President John F. Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, concerning legislative activities and efforts to enact the Kennedy Administration's legislative program. Items include copies of galley proofs of President Kennedy's Special Message to Congress on the proposed federal budget for 1964, during which he makes the distinction between a chronic and temporary deficit, noting that the country can avoid the former through tax reform legislation and efficiency in governmental operations. The President also discusses the budget as it applies to specific government departments and agencies.
