The President appreciates your expression of confidence and support and is pleased to know that you share his concern for world peace. Contrary to what you have stated about cutbacks in defense spending, the total outlays for national defense are estimated at $117.8 billion for 1979. This represents a 9.4% increase over 1978. With the President's best wishes, Sincerely, Landon Kite Staff Assistant Mr. David Mariant 2160 Ventura Place Santa Clara, California 95051 LK:mf:jmc:ajd fyi - p. 28, US Budget in Brief, fy 1979 LK-215 Press Rele David Mariant 2160 Uentura Pl.
