I Listing Legislative Documents to

Honorable Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Maine State Legislature:
I am today sending you a supplemental listing of the 89 legislative documents embodying 235 recommendations of the Maine Management and Cost Survey. This compilation is intended to afford easy identification of these bills, the committee to which each has been referred, recommendations and subsequent legislative action.
Once again, let me remind the Legislature of the tremendous investment made by the Business community in making these recommendations and the considerable time expended by Departments of State Government and the Implementation Staff in drafting the proposed legislation. Of the resulting bills, I have recommended only 15 for further study because of their potentially far-reaching and as yet undetermined effects. The remaining 74 bills represent considerable savings through increased efficency in State Government. I urge the Legislature to enact these bills after full and fair consideration.
Some of the bills carry implementation appropriations. These costs reflect either the estimate of the Survey or the pre I iminary estimate of the particular departments. Each such appropriation should be subjected to careful cost benefit scrutiny by the Legislature.
Respectfully 1
