Ekecutive Begistrv
Under established procedures, a number of 1965 legislative recommenda-
tions have already been submitted by departments and agencies to the
Executive Office. These are under careful study.
I am asking you, however, as head of your department or agency, to
give further personal and intensive consideration to the legislative or
other proposals which I should make to the 1st Session of the 89th
Congress and to the Nation in my State of the Union address. I would
like by November 25 to receive from you suggested draft material re-
lating to your area of responsibility for inclusion in the State of the
Union message. This material should come to my Special Assistant,
Bill Moyers. Brief descriptions of legislative proposals in support of
such material should be made available through the Bureau of the Budget
by the same date. Since I plan to transmit my legislative proposals
early in the Session, all draft legislation must be available for the
usual review and clearance at the earliest possible time.
Through this memorandum I am seeking your aid.in perfecting policies
and proposals which will help realize in our Nation the vision of the
Great Society which I have sought to develop in recent months. I welcome
the opportunity to review far-sighted and well-considered proposals to
improve the Nation's well-being, just as I seek sound and courageous
proposals for the reduction of Government expenditures and the elimina-
tion or curtailment of unneeded or less-needed programs. Only through
diligent and ceaseless effort to reduce expenditures, increase efficiency
and eliminate waste and unnecessary activities can we afford the money
and the manpower we need to achieve the great goals to which we are
all pledged.
I count on your energetic and wholehearted cooperation.
