Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 1967 and Information Annexes; Report of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions: In its report to the General Assembly on the budget estimates for the financial year 1967 the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions noted that the Secretary-General had proposed for 1967 a gross expenditure budget of $128,227,800, an increase of $6,660,380 over the gross level of $121,567,420 approved by the Committee for 1966. Of the total estimated income of $21,623,626 for 1967 income from staff assessment (for distribution to Member governments as credits through the Tax Equalization Fund) was calculated at $13,350,000 and income from all other sources (for deduction from gross appropriations for purposes of the assessment of contributions) at $8,273,626. After deduction of estimated income the net expenditure level for 1967 would be $106,604,174, an increase of $4,827,454 over the net level of $101,776,720 approved for 1966. Recommendations by the Advisory Committee for reductions in the expenditure estimates totaling $1,730,600, together with certain recommended adjustments in the income estimates, would reduce the net expenditure level for 1967 from $106,604,174, as proposed by the Secretary-General, to $104,831,974. In the aggregate members of the various UN organizations would be asked to contribute about $285.7 million for 1967 as against assessments of $265.8 million for 1966 and $231.9 million in 1965.
