She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. According to the Foundation report, the proportion of total Federal spending made within the state has been declining despite the fact that residents of the state are paying proportionately more in taxes to finance such Federal programs. Between 1970 and 1976, Federal outlays in Utah rose by 69 percent, but outlays throughout the nation increased by 89 percent. As a result, Utahs share of total Federal spending declined from 0.61 1970 to 0.54 percent in 1976. During this same period, Utahs share of the total tax burden climbed from an estimated 0.38 percent in 1970 to 0.44 percent percent in in 1976. Foundation analysts attribute this shift in Federal spending to the strong effort that has been made during recent years to divert Federal expenditures away from the South and the West and into the more populous Leon B.

During 1976, for example, only $50.0 million in Federal interest was paid to individuals and institutions in Utah, while the states share of the taxes required to meet total interest payments on the national debt amounted to $119.6 million. In other words, servicing the national debt resulted in a drain of nearly $70 million from Utah last year. Similarly, Federal budget deficits and increases in the national debt tend to raise interest obligations and take additional money out of the state. In fiscal 1976, the Federal government in- curred an operating deficit of $65.6 billion. The net effect of this deficit was an increased annual drain of about $11.7 million from individuals and business firms in Utah. The Foundation study points out that there has been a Federal budget deficit incurred in 37 of the past 46 years. Federal expenditures in the United States last year were made through 1,300 separate programs administered by 87 different Federal departments and agencies. Utah participated in 528 of these Federal outlay programs 35 involving different departments and agencies.
