Revenue and University Income; (b) $1,694,908 from the Agricultural Premium Fund. As a part of the budgetary review process, the budgets were submitted to the Illinois Board of Higher Education which has taken official action to make certain recommendations concerning the items of increase requested by the University. All of the increase requested from the Agricultural Premium Fund was approved; reductions totaling $9,314,290 were recommended in the budget proposed for funding from General Revenue and University Income. T h e reductions recommended by the Board of Higher Education are reflected in five tables submitted herewith, copies of which are being filed with the Secretary of the Board. In summary, for operations the Board of Trustees requested an increase of $114,773,786 which amounted to an increase of 43 per cent over the amount available for the 1967-69 biennium. T h e Board of Higher Education approved a request for an increase of $105,459,496, a 39 per cent increase. The budget request as originally presented is considered valid, conservative in view of the University's responsibility to meet its obligations to the state, and consistent with a realistic appraisal of the needs of the University. However, after extensive discussion with other administrative officers, I recommend that the University budget request be modified to conform to the recommendations of the Board of Higher Education and that the University representatives be authorized to proceed accordingly.

On motion of Mr. Grimes, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Governor Shapiro, Dr. Weatherly.
