Planning and scheduling will prevent the obligation, by the end of the fiscal year, of total District-appropriated funds. Federal funds not actually qualified for carryover to future years. Note. The above information is based on data available as of Feb. 10, 1967, and includes only those grant programs which have been funded or which are expected to be funded in the near future. Amounts for 1967 and 1968 are subject to possible revision as later information becomes available. Mr. TOBRINER. I therefore submit myself for such questions as the committee may desire. Senator SPONG. In your statement you say that the existing legislation is expected to produce $405.8 million in fiscal 1968. Does that figure include the $8 million expected from the increase in personalproperty and real-estate taxes? Mr. TOBRINER. It does, sir. Senator SPONG. It does include that. Aside from the funds in the bills we are considering an increase in personal-property and real-estate taxes, do you foresee any new sources of revenue for fiscal 1968 ? Mr. TOBRINER. Outside of the increase in the property taxes which have been approved by the Board of Commissioners, I see no further sources of income for 1968, unless at a later date the Congress should authorize additional revenue-producing measures. Senator SPONG. Will you supply for the record a list of all the revenue sources, both existing and proposed, for fiscal 1968 and the amount of revenue expected from those years? Mr.TOBRINER. Yes, sir. 81-348 0-67 Comparison of revenue estimates for fiscal years 1967 and 1968, approved by Budget Bureau, May 12, 1967 Senator SPONG. Would you also submit at the same time with your sources of revenue the comparable figures for Maryland and Virginia? Mr. TOBRINER. We do not have comparable collection figures.

In other words, we have Arlington, Fairfax, Montgomery, and Prince George's. We can submit that.
