Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available
based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created
through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned
versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was
employed, some imperfections may remain.
Please note that some material may have been redacted from this document if that
material was received on a confidential basis. Redacted material is indicated by
occasional gaps in the text or by gray boxes around non-text content. All redacted
passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic
format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced
tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other
blemishes caused after initial printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optical character recognition computer program (OCR)
first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive,
staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and
tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

Personal income increased by nearly $5 billion to $915.9
billion annual rate in May, somewhat less than the upward revised
$5.5 billion rise in the previous month.
Wage and salary disburse-
ments increased by about $3 billion, with manufacturing and service
payrolls accounting for much of the increase in private disbursements
--primarily due to gains in employment in these industries.
Govern-
ment payrolls rose by $500 million--the same as last month.
Increases
in transfer payments and personal interest income accounted for the
rise in nonwage income.
Compared to a year ago, personal income was
up by 7.9 per cent, and wage and salary disbursements by 8.6 per cent.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPENDIX A
QUARTERLY SURVEY OF
BANK LENDING PRACTICES*
Results of the May 15 Survey of Bank Lending Practices are
consistent with the general improvement in the economy which has occurred
since early in the year. Businesses' demands for bank financings increased significantly with bankers expressing considerable optimism that
the momentum of business expansion would continue through the summer.
In the current survey, the 125 participants noted two major
alterations in loan markets since mid-February. (See Table 1.) First,
a significant strengthening in business loan demand was reported by
nearly 60 per cent of the respondents, whereas in the February survey,
less than a fifth had recorded any pick-up in loan demand. Moreover,
in the current survey, nearly 75 percent expressed confidence that this
uptrend in loan demand would be sustained through August. The second
reported change in lending practices was in higher interest rates on business
loans in line with the stepped-up demand for these loans. More than a
third of the panel reported firmer interest rate policies, reflecting
the general increases in prime lending rates. Most other terms on
business lending were unchanged from February, but it is worth noting
that more than 10 per cent of the participants reported placing greater
emphasis on a loan applicant's potential value as a depositor or source
of collateral business.
Changes in lending terms to finance companies were not quite
as striking as those on business loans--less than a fourth of the banks
reported firmer interest rates. The firmer interest rates policies,
moreover, were partly offset by a slight increase in willingness to
establish or enlarge credit lines.
Regarding other portions of the loan portfolio, bankers'
interest in consumer instalment loans and in single-family mortgages
increased further; willingness to extend term loans to businesses
increased as well.

APPENDIX B:
CONGRESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTS RELATING TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY AND
WELFARE REFORM BILL.*
The Senate Finance Committee has completed its work on the broad
social security welfare reform bill. The Committee bill is somewhat
more costly in the long run (perhaps $6.0 billion annually) than the Housepassed bill or the Administration proposals. There appears to be
considerable opposition to the Senate committee bill, which is scheduled
for debate in the Senate in July. Of course, the final outcome will not
be known until differences are settled in the House-Senate conference
committee. Staff projections incorporate the Administration's proposals
for social security liberalization and welfare reform but the Staff
estimate includes a 12.5 per cent social security boost projected rather
than the 5 per cent increase proposed by the Administration. The Senate
Committee bill includes a 10 per cent social security benefit hike, but
many Senators are committed to a 20 per cent increase.
There are substantial differences in the estimate of the cost
of various welfare provisions of the House and Senate bills. HEW estimates
that the first full year cost of the Senate Committee proposals for
general welfare and workfare will be $12.7 billion compared to the
Committee estimate of $6.7 billion. On the other hand the Senate Committee
estimates that the cost of the welfare provisions of the House bill
(essentially the Administration's family assistance plan) are underestimated by $2.0 billion.
Table I below, shows the major provisions of
the Senate Committee bill with alterative estimates of the first full
year cost of the welfare provisions.
While the cost of the various provisions of the Senate Committee
bill are still not certain, the Staff has made a rough estimate of the
effect the Committee bill would have on Staff estimates if enacted.
These estimates are shown in Table II, below.
The social security provisions of the Senate Committee bill
are initially less costly than the Staff estimates. The Committee
bill also includes the same wage base increase assumed in the Staff
projections (from $9,000 to $10,200 beginning January 1973).
However
the Committee would increase the tax to 5.7 per cent instead of the
5.4 per cent expected by the Staff. The higher Committee rate would
increase calendar 1973 receipts by $3.0 billion.
There have been reports
that even higher social security taxes will be enacted if a 20 per cent
benefit increase is approved.

The Committee bill has higher outlays for welfare reform and
for medicare and medicaid. Medicare and medicaid provisions would increase
Staff outlays in the second half of calendar 1973 by about $3.0 billion,
annual rate. In regard to welfare the Staff projections assume that the
Administration's welfare reform doesn't begin until Fiscal year 1974,
although $.5 billion start up costs are provided in fiscal 1973. In
the Committee bill "workfare" would not be effective until January 1974,
but aid to the aged, blind and disabled as well as several other general
welfare programs would begin upon enactment.

Staff estimates. It is difficult to determine the pattern of net costs
for general welfare provisions because the Committee reports total
welfare costs, including a $7.0 billion reduction in existing costs.
Some unspecified portion of this recoupment will occur only when
"workfare" starts in January 1974.
