The President has directed that recommendations by the National Security Council include information as to the costs of the programs necessary to carry out such policy. Accordingly, each policy statement presented by the Council, with certain exceptions, will contain a Financial Appendix prepared to conform with this instruction. The exceptions to this instruction include (1) policy proposals having no or only minor cost implications; (2) policy proposals relating to programs of a particularly sensitive nature for which special arrangements have been made. 2. The Financial Appendix should reflect the cost im- plications of carrying out the new policy which-'e'Eritement proposes. Any significant change in an existing program shown in the Financial Appendix must be based upon the policy proposal and fully explained in the Financial Appendix. The Financial Appendix should not in itself presume to dispose of policy issues. Information to be Included in a Financial Appendix 3. The Financial Appendix should preoent: a. Cost estimates to carry out the policy based on the best available information at the tAme of preparation, i.e., estimated expenditures durIng the first feur years er the ife ef eaeh program; weever is apprepriate Per a eignifieant estimate: the cost implications of the proposed new policy122 programs and 1.52. expendMres, including identification of specific aid commitments and costs related thera-5.

In general, all Financial Appendices will follow the form of the attached Financial Appendix. In any case where the attached form of Financial Appendix is not suited to the substance of a policy statement, the NSC Staff will be responsible for outlining a form appropriate to the occasion. Procedures for Preparation of Financial Auendices 6. Departments and A encies a.

The NSC Staff will be responsible for coordinating the Views of all the departments and agencies involved, including the Bureau of the Budget, on the initial and succeeding drafts of the consolidated Financial Appendix, with a view of having available an agreed Financial Appendix for submission with the policy statement to the Council.

Planning Board a. The Planning Board will consider all financial information concerning a policy statement before making its recommendations to the Council. b. In the case of a conflict of views as to cost estimates, the Planning Board may either defer considera- tion of the proposed policy statement pending further examination of the cost estimates or proceed on the basis of available information. In any case of conflict of views relative to cost estimates, the Planning Board will submit to the Council a summary thereof. c. In case a department or agency indicates that the cost to carry out any aspect of the proposed policy statement will be additional to current programming, the Planning Board will take this factor into considera- tion in making its policy recommendations to the Council. 10. Council Consideration The Council will consider all financial information transmitted to it by the Planning Board in presenting its recommendations to the President. - 4 ...

FINANCIAL APPENDIX Cost estimates in the Financial Appendix indicate order of magnitude only. Approval of the policy statement does not indicate approval of cost estimates in the Finan- cial Appendix and is not to be interpreted as Council endorsement of, or limitation upon, the size of particular programs. Appropriations and expenditures to finance the policy will be subject to determination in the regular budgetary process. SPECIAL VOTES 1. All estimates are subject to the assumptions, footnotes, and summary explanations shown below in this Financial Appendix. 2. Although the Export-Import Bank was established by statute for the purpose of promoting the export of U. S. goods and services, Export-Import credits may normally also be expected to advance U. S. national security objectives. For this reason, data on Export-Import Bank lending is included in this Appendix. 3, The Development Loan Fund and the Export-Import Bank do not operate by programing the funds available to them among recipient countries, but in general await the receipt of applications for specific projects and act upon such applications according to their merits and the availability of financing from other sources. Neither the DLF nor the Export-Import Bank makes any forecast as to future commitments. These institutions, therefore, take no responsibility for the cost implications contained in this Appendix. 14 Similarly, data on P. L. 480 agreements are included because these agreements may be expected to serve U. S. national security objectives, even though a major purpose is the distribution of surplus agricultural commodities. -5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/03/19: CIA-RDP86T00268R000100010004-8 ?
