students and I am very sorry, Mr. Perkins, but that is
|
|
2
|
the way it is, and that is what I am going to ask my
|
|
3
|
Board to approve, and he does, and the Board approves
|
|
4
|
it and the budget now goes to the Governor.
|
|
5
|
"What, if anything, can you or the Governor
|
|
6
|
or anyone do to bring this figure back to 1,400,000?
|
|
7
|
"Mr. Sachs: That is my question.
|
|
8
|
"Mr. Perkins: We have done it. We have
|
|
9
|
revised figures that the State Department of Education
|
|
10
|
presented to us on the basis -- and you are only talk-
|
|
11
|
ing about one thing, pupils. So, if we feel the pupil
|
|
12
|
estimates are too high, we can reduce them. Every
|
|
13
|
pupil that you reduce, you are reducing the over-all
|
|
14
|
budget request by $340 essentially."
|
|

|
So, that was the record the Committee had
|
|
16
|
before it when Mr. Raver came before the Committee last
|
|
17
|
Monday, and Kr. Raver stated unequivocally that the
|
|
18
|
Bureau of the Budget had never altered, changed or
|
|
19
|
modified the budget which the State Department had
|
|
20
|
submitted.
|
|
21
|
Now, this was to the minds of the Committee
