The overall budget proposal included both federal and state monies projected for spending in the 1972-7- 3 fiscal year beginning uly 1. Roughly a third of the $590.5 million is represented by Governor Calvin L. Rampton A budget that tops the scale at $590.5 million has been submitted to the budget session of the Utah Legislature. Governor Calvin L. Rampton said, I propose no increase in any tax levy or any fee schedule. In a major new step the governor recommended a $15 million recreation development program composed of a $14 million bond issue and an immediate $1 million appropriation to establish a level of funding for paying back the bond issue on a 15 year period. Many recommendations were made for the increase of salaries and expenditures for many government agencies. The proposed budget includes money for salary increases to State Prison correctional officers, Highway Patrol federal funding. On the governors proposed item for a bond issue for the outdoor recration programs of $15 million, the governor said that $9 million of the recreational bond issue would go to develop outdoor facilities at state parks and $5 million for improving fish hatcheries and acquiring corridors through private land holdings for access to public lands beyond. Available facilities in the out of doors havent kept pace with the need. When camping and sanitation facilities arent available the result is a abuse of our natural science and recreational areas. The reasons given for the bond issue of the recreational program as given by the governor were first: until the funding is assured for the proposed programs, it is difficult to plan and implement an orderly development. Secondly, these facilities are needed as rapidly as we can supply them. I i i 4 i i i D.

This development should be made instead of the recommended major four lane highway contemplated for motorists going to the ski areas and campgrounds. Commissioner McClure countering in what he termed proposals of the state for wider and more extensive highways said, I believe that recreation, scenery and water are all endangered by greater access to canyon areas by the automobile. This must not be allowed. He went on to say the constantly expanding sea of asphalt, threatens to destroy the scenic assets of the canyons and the mountains rimming Salt Lake Valley.

Presenting testimony to the committee, Huber called for a closer look at the proposed national health insurance plans as they could affect the VA hospitals and clinics. The DAVs concern is based on statements made by the director of the Office of Management and Budget to the effect that practically all plans to modernize and construct VA hospital facilities would be delayed pending action on national health care proposals.
