of the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. federal courts, and the Federal Trade
Commission. Justices Scalia and O’Connor spoke on the Supreme Court’s budget
request which totalled over $25 million. Justice O’Connor said the
proposed two percent increase in the budget of the Supreme Court was
made up of uncontrollable “base” adjustments, not new programs.
Judge Arnold spoke on the budget request of the federal judiciary,
whose budget request for 1992 was over $2.5 billion dollars, an
increase of 30 percent over 1991. He accounted for the huge increase
by stating that the case load of the courts were increasing, certain
legislation passed by Congress affected the budgetary needs of the
courts, and the courts were feeling pressure from rising costs of
operation. None of these sources of budgetary factors were in the
control of the judiciary, Judge Arnold reported.
