revised request for F Y 1970 — with certain reductions in funds, deletions, and additions. Only one new building has been added: a parking structure for the Chicago Circle campus. The University's total capital request for F Y 1971 is $22,162,080 —including $20,012,080 from general-revenue funds, and $2,150,000 in funds to be supplied by the Illinois Building Authority. I recommend approval of the revised budget request for capital funds for FY 1971, as proposed by the University Building Program Committee. 1 O n m o t i o n of M r .

Introduction When the Governor directed that the budgets of all state agencies be prepared on an annual basis — beginning with the fiscal year 1969-70 ( F Y 1970)—the University submitted a revised capital request for that year to the Illinois Department of Finance. The following categories of funds were included: 1. Reappropriations of general-revenue funds that had been provided for capital purposes in earlier biennia but could not be expended by July 1, 1969 ($21,962,400). 2. Funds to be provided by the Illinois Building Authority for the construction of the new buildings approved by the Board of Higher Education for the biennium 1969-71. 3. General-revenue funds for approximately half of the total amount included in the earlier budget request for the biennium 1969-71 — as approved by the Board of Higher Education ($20,357,700 of the original total of $40,162,300). The Governor's budget for F Y 1970 includes all of the general-revenue funds requested for capital purposes by the University in its revised F Y 1970 budget proposals. In addition, general-revenue funds are provided for rental payments to the Illinois Building Authority — covering all University buildings previously funded by I B A and all new buildings approved by the Board of Higher Education for IBA funding during the biennium 1969-71 (total, $16,202,470). The University as yet has no information as to what authorizations for new building projects will be sought by the Illinois Building Authority during the current session of the General Assembly. In the present document, the University submits its revised capital request for FY 1971. Except for a parking structure at the Chicago Circle campus, no new buildings have been added to the list previously approved by the Board of Higher Education for 1969-71. The revised F Y 1971 request, therefore, consists principally of the residue of the 1969-71 general-revenue (non-building) projects not included in the revised request for F Y 1970 — with certain reductions in funds, deletions, and additions. Changes in the original lists are proposed only for the Medical Center and the Urbana-Champaign campuses; but the total of general-revenue appropriations requested for capital purposes in F Y 1971 does not greatly exceed the corresponding amount in the 1969-71 request as approved by the Board of Higher Education. (The residual total of general-revenue funds was $19,804,600; the revised F Y 1971 request totals $20,012,080.)
