Real Growth and Decline in Defense Operating Costs: Fiscal Year 1978
Abstract
In February 1977, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) prepared a report on defense operating costs for the Senate Appropriations Committee. That report provided a detailed comparison of three sets of operating costs: those shown in President Ford's fiscal year 1978 budget, those shown in President Carter's fiscal year 1978 budget, and those representing a "no-growth" defense budget for fiscal year 1978 (as estimated by CBO). Real Growth and Decline in Defense Operating Costs: Fiscal Year 1978, prepared in response to a request from the Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, provides additional analyses of operating cost data related to national defense. It focuses on differences between the fiscal year 1978 defense budget, as submitted (with amendments) by President Carter, and a nogrowth budget for fiscal year 1978 (i.e., the fiscal year 1977 budget as approved by the Congress and then inflated according to CBO estimates). Areas of real funding growth and decline are identified by mission categories.
