INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES
260 California Street ? San Francisco, California 94111
Dear Friend:.
Recently the Institute for Contemporary Studies, in
conjunction with the Manhattan Institute for Policy
Research, brought together some leading economists
for a tough-minded discussion of problems in the
federal budget.
Over 100 journalists, academics, and. businessmen
attended the public policy forum, which was held
in the Yale Club of New York.
The results of this exciting exchange are featured
in the enclosed August 1982 issue of the Manhattan
Report.
Panelists included. Michael J. Boskin of Stanford
University, Rudolph G. Penner of American Enterprise
Institute, and Alvin Rabushka of Hoover Institution,
coauthor of the Hall-Rabushka "flat rate" tax
proposal. The discussion was moderated by Citibank
economist and ICS board chairman Leif Olsen.
Messrs. Boskin, Penner, and Rabushka are among the
dozen contributors to ICS's newly released study,
THE FEDERAL BUDGET: ECONOMICS AND POLITICS, edited
by Michael J. Boskin and Aaron Wildavsky.
Along with the proposed flat rate income tax, issues
addressed at the forum included the balanced budget/
spending limitation amendment, the future of Social
Security, and the federal deficit.
I think you will find the discussion timely and
illuminating.
Very truly yours,
Glenn Dumke
President
