rather than how we are organized to carry them out and what they
cost. John Clarke will be present and we can look to him to answer
any questions about the budget.

care to make of them:

Washington Evening Star article describes Mr. Zwick as
believing in the new economics theory which holds that
economic growth can be sustained by change in tax rates,
Federal spending and money policy. According to this
article, Mr. Zwick considers the new unified budget
concept an important reform. The New York Times states
that Mr. Zwick believes the Government's budget should
not be balanced at all times -- but would like to see
it balanced closer than it is. The New York Times
article further states that Mr. Zwick is more interested
in the Bureau of the Budget's seeing that the policy and
programs are carried out after they become law and
receive their appropriations than he is in the over-
all economic impact of the budget.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
,wile Suth*',
Charles J. Zwick is an out-
wardly calm and cool economist.
who was raised on a Connecti-
cut farm and, knows the prob-
lems of Southeast Asia first-
hand.
But his assignment as Budget
Bureau director will probably
complex he has ever tackled. It a
nation's first $200 billion budget
in the not too distant future.
Zwick' a disciple. of the new
economics who endorses strong-
ly President Johnon's appeal
for higher taxes' said his reac-
tion to the appointment is sober-
ing.
"The fellow I'm following has
probably been the best budget
director to date;" Zwick said
yesterday. "It's tough act to
follow."
The Texas White House an-
nounced Monday night that
Zwick will succeed Charles L.
Schultze, who has been Budget
Bureau director since June 1,
1965, after the budget for the
fiscal year beginning July 1 has
been completed.
S190 Million Package
Spending in that budget is ex-
pected to reach into the'.$190
billion range.
Schultze will help represent
the administration when the
House Ways and Means Com-
mittee again considers Johnson's
10 precent income tax sur-
charge proposal on. Jan. 22, but
the defense of the, new budget
before Congress could fall on
Zwick's shoulders.
This, he said,. has not, yet
been decided.
It was Schultze who first ask-
ed Zwick to join the bureau
as assistant director, on .Oct.
1, 1965.
Zwick, married and the fa-
ther of Robert, 12, and Janet, 8,

1956 when he.. joined the Rand

ance programs in Vietnam,

Oct. 1, 1965, has been the Bud-
get Bureau's policy man on
taxes, balance of payments
measures and over-all fiscal
policy.
As for the new unified budget
concept which will be used for
the first time this year, Zwick
calls it an important reform and
a step in the right direction
but said it will take some get=
ting used to.
