CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
WASHINGTON 25, D. C.
5 August 1955
Mr. Wallace K. Harrison
Harrison & Abramovitz
630 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York
In accordance with Mr. Dullest request, I an forwarding herewith per-
tinent information summarizing developments to date in connection with the
construction of a new headquarters building for the Central Intelligence
Agency.
The security problems, inefficiency, and excessive costs inherent in
our present situation have long indicated the high desirability of provid-
ing space for the Central Intelligence Agency in one permanent building.
In 1951, through Public Law No. 155, the Congress authorized $38,000,000
for the construction of such a building. However, funds were not appropri-
ated to carry out the construction. Since that time we have engaged in
several studies to determine whether it might not be possible to relocate
the Agency in an existing structure and thereby avoid the necessity of a
new building. We finally concluded that this would not be feasible and
beginning last Fall we decided to make an all-out effort to obtain an au-
thorization, together with the necessary funds, to construct the new build-
ing.
In our discussions with the Public Buildings Service they suggested
several federally-owned properties which might provide a suitable location.
One of our first problems to consider was whether we should comply with
current dispersion standards as prescribed by the Office of Defense Mobil-
ization. After careful consideration we concluded that we could not ef-
fectively accomplish our mission and comply with these standards. We be-
lieve it is essential that the Director be immediately available to the
President and the National Security Council. There are also an estimated
fifty to one hundred of CIA's senior staff who must be in close daily con-
tact with personnel of other agencies, particularly the Departments of

State and Defense, and who must also be immediately available to the Direc-
tor as well as to those components of the Agency under their supervision
and upon which they are dependent for support. In our judgment, the neces-
sity for such close and expeditious coordination within the Central Intel-
ligence Agency and the Intelligence Community dictated that the entire Agency
be at one location not more than a few miles distant from the White House.
The federally-owned properties suggested by the Public Buildings Ser-
vice were all within five to ten miles of the White House. Accordingly, on
16 November 1954 we requested that the Office of Defense Mobilization concur
in an exception to these dispersion standards for our proposed new building.
The Director, Office of Defense Mobilization, on 31 December 1954 concurred
in our request. Correspondence with regard to this matter is attached as
TAB A.
Of the several sites then under consideration, we concluded that the
property at the Bureau of Public Roads Research Station near Langley in Fair-
fax County, Virginia, would satisfactorily meet our needs. However, there
appeared to be certain problems in connection with the use of this site in-
volving water, sewerage, roads, and possible civic objection. One of the
principal factors to be considered was the necessity to extend the George
Washington Memorial Parkway from its present terminus at Spout Run to the
site if it was to be considered seriously. This distance is about seven
miles and the extension is estimated to cost $8.5 million.
Since we desired to ascertain as a matter of principle whether use of
the Langley site was feasible before requesting legislation for construction
of this Parkway, we consulted with the National Capital Planning Commission
beginning in February of this year, and on 11 March I appeared before the
National Capital Regional Planning Council to discuss this location. This
resulted in the appointment of a special committee of the Regional Planning
Council to study and make recommendations concerning the desirability of
the proposed location. The committee recommended that the application of
the Central Intelligence Agency to locate in Fairfax County near Langley,
Virginia, be approved subject to the stipulation which at that time had been
made by the Fairfax County Planning Commission that the initial cost of de-
velopment of appurtenant public facilities be borne by the Federal Govern-
ment. One member of the committee dissented. However, due to subsequent
developments the report of the committee has never been formally acted upon.
The resolution and committee reports are attached as TAB B.
In early April it was necessary to request our legislation in order to
insure that it would be acted upon during this session of Congress. In
view of the uncertainty which still existed in connection with the Langley
property we decided to omit from the proposed legislation any language which
would provide for the extension of the George Washington Memorial Parkway

without which we do not believe use of this property would be feasible.
On 4 April 1955 I advised the Chairman of the National Capital Planning
Commission to this effect and requested that the Commission furnish its
views concerning the several sites we had discussed or others which it might
be appropriate to consider. This resulted in a resolution by the Planning
Commission suggesting that consideration be given to certain very general lo-
cations, and again this matter was referred to a new joint committee of the
Commission and the Council to work with us in a further study of the problem.
Copies of this correspondence are attached as TAB C.
After considering more than thirty sites, most of which are indicated
on the map enclosed with TAB D, the committee concluded that six of these
met our criteria and warranted serious consideration. This report was ap-
proved at a joint meeting of the Regional Council and the Planning Commission
and the committee was asked to study the matter further in order to come up
with a more specific recommendation. A copy of this study and related corre-
spondence is attached as TAB D.
In our subsequent discussions with responsible officials in the Admin-
istration as well as with the committees in the Congress before which we ap-
peared, it became apparent that it would be preferable to locate our head-
quarters on the fringe of metropolitan Washington, D. C. At about this same
time, Fairfax County officials indicated that they could overcome satisfac-
torily the obstacles involving water and sewerage facilities which had been
previously anticipated in connection with the Langley site. In addition,
the County Board of Supervisors extended an invitation to us to occupy this
site. The Planning Commission of Fairfax County formally expressed to the
County Board of Supervisors the desirability of our locating at Langley and
their Chairman stated that in this expression the Commission felt that they
had correctly expressed the sentiment of the overwhelming majority of Fair-
fax County residents. Similar invitations were received from the Fairfax
County Chamber of Commerce, representing more than 450 members without dis-
sent, the McLean Business Association, and the Great Falls Grange No. 738
with a membership of 242, and many others. We are aware of the fact and
naturally understand the feelings of some of the residents of the Langley
area who feel that the comparative seclusion of their community might be im-
paired by our locating there. However, there seems to be no question but
that with the exception of this very small minority Fairfax County would
wholeheartedly welcome the Central Intelligence Agency. For these reasons
we requested the Congress to amend our original proposal so as to provide
for the extension of the George Washington Memorial Parkway if the Langley
site should be finally selected. Correspondence with the Fairfax County
Board and others with respect to this matter is attached as TAB E.

which led to our authorization, are attached as TAB F. You will note that
our authorization for construction was limited to X6,000,000 in lieu of the
$50,000,000 requested.
The necessary funds to begin this project are provided for in the Sup-
plemental Appropriation Act, 1956, Public Law No. 219, which reads in part
as follows:
"CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
For the preparation of detail plans and specifications of
a Central Intelligence Agency headquarters installation and for
other purposes as authorized by Title IV of the Act of July 15,
1955 (Public Law 161), to remain available until expended,
55,500,000."
The hearings and reports which led to this appropriation are attached
as TAB G.
After further careful study and examination of these seven sites we be-
lieve that Langley.. Virginia, and Alexandria, Virginia, are the two areas
which deserve most serious consideration. While we have tentatively con-
cluded that the Langley property would be preferable for our use, we desire
to study this matter further.
We have an understanding with the Bureau of Public Roads that they will
release 100 acres of the Langley property for our use if that site is finally
selected and we have an informal offer of 100 acres at a total cost of
$350,000 in the Alexandria area. This would comprise 85 acres of the Winkler
tract and 15 acres held by an adjacent owner.
I have advised the Chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission
of the status of this matter in a letter dated I August 1955, a copy of
which is attached as TAB H. Hence, the immediate problems before us are the
final selection of a site and the development of detailed plans and specifi-
cations.
Sincerely,
L. K. White

GENERAL STATEMENT
The bill as reported to the Senate exceeds the bill as it passed the
House by the sum of $1,601,834,986. However, this increase is
misleadin since many items of appropriation including well over a
billion dollars for military construction were deleted on the floor of
the House on points of order. The authorizing legislation on military
construction had passed both Houses of Congress and was awaiting
the signature of the President which made the appropriation subject
to a point of order. Other authorizing bills were in various stages of
legislative process. The amount of the bill as reported to the Senate,
when compared with the bill as reported to the House by the House
Appropriations Committee, is as follows:
Amount of bill as reported to House------------------------ $1, 648, 876, 128
Amount of bill as reported to Senate------------------------ 1, 826, 111, 614
Increase of Senate committee bill over bill reported to
House------------------------------------------- 177,235,486
In addition, the Senate committee considered budget estimates in
excess of the estimates considered by the House in the amount of
$195,565,204.

CHAPTER I
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The committee recommends approval of the supplemental request
for authorization to construct a building at Miles City, Mont. The
new building is to replace an equipment repair shop which was de-
stroyed by fire. The following language is added to the bill:
Not to exceed $25,000 of funds appropriated under this head in the Department of
Agriculture and Farm Credit Administration Appropriation Act, 1956, for research,
shall be available for construction of a building at the United States Range Livestock
Experiment Station, Miles City, Montana.
The committee recommends the approval of an estimate sent
directly to the Senate which requests authority to prepare plans and
specifications and to conduct surveys to determine costs for facilities
suitable for the conduct of animal disease research and control work.
On July 1, 1955, this research work was discontinued in the Depart-
ment's Administration Building. This action was based on recom-
mendations of a survey made by a committee of scientists from out-
side the Department who found existing facilities lacking in safeguards
to protect research workers.
The recommended authorization submitted in the estimate follows :
For preparation of plans and specifications for construction of facilities for animal
disease research and control, and for surveys to determine the cost of acquiring and
altering facilities which may be made suitable for such work, including employment
pursuant to the second sentence of section 706 (a) of the Organic Act of 1944 (5 U. S. C.
574), as amended by section 15 of the Act of August 2, 1946 (5 U. S. C. 55a),
$500,000, to remain available until expended.
The committee recommends the restoration of the section providing
that not to exceed $5 million of the unused balances under the 1954
agricultural conservation program be made available during fiscal
year 1956 for emergency wind erosion control practices.
The committee is advised that $2,500,000 of the amount recom-
mended will be used. to reimburse the President's Disaster Relief
Fund for funds advanced to pay for emergency tillage practices.
The following provision is recommended by the committee:
Not to exceed $5,000,000 of the appropriation under the head "Agricultural Con-
servation Program Service", in the Department of Agriculture and Farm Credit
Administration Appropriation Act, 1955, shall be available for the purposes specified
under the head "Agricultural conservation program", in the Second Supplemental
Appropriation Act, 1955, and shall be merged with the amount provided therein.

the provisions of H. R. 5891, 84th Congress, which covers mining
claims on land under the administration of the Se,-retary.
The bill has passed Congress and the appropriation of funds is
recommendedin accordance with the estimate:
The committee recommends the restoration of the following section
in the bill to authorize the position of Sales Manager for the Corpora-
tion in grade GS--17:
For the purpose of assisting the Commodity Credit Carporation in selling its
agricultural commodities, the position of sales manager is hereby authorized in grade 17
of the General Schedule of the Classification Act of 1949, as upended, in accordance
with the standards and procedures of that Act.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
In view of the denial by the committee of the request for additional
loan authorizations for low income and part-tin i,_+ farmers all other
items contained in the bill for the proposed program are recom-
mended to be stricken.

CHAPTER II
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND RELATED AGENCIES
For the Department of Commerce and Related Agencies, the com-
mittee considered estimates aggregating $157,154,000, and recom-
mends appropriation of $83,004,000, a reduction of $74,150,000. The
amount recommended is $80,245,000 more than the $2,759,000 in
this chapter of the bill as passed by the House.
The estimates considered by the Senate which were not presented
to the House totaled $113,900,000, for which items totaling $52,430,000
are recommended in the bill. As to the items considered by
the House, and for which the House committee recommended
$29,879,000, the bill as reported to the Senate would provide
$30,574,000, an increase above the House committee recommendations
of $695,000.

year 1956.
Testimony before the committee indicated that the workload in
airway traffic-control centers, airport control towers, and related
communications facilities had already increased 15 percent beyond the
increase predicted at the end of fiscal year 1956, and far exceeds that
on which the original budget estimate was based.
It was categorically stated that the amount requested was not in
any sense intended to substitute for the funds for operation of the
interstate airways communication centers which were directed to be
continued during fiscal year 1956; but that studies were still in progress
to attain the expressed wish of Congress, and to finance continued
operation of those stations previously scheduled for closing during the
current fiscal year, by absorption of the added costs by other means.

8 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION BILL, 1956
The committee recommends $2,600,000, the Lill amount of the
estimate and the amount in the bill as passed by the House, for the
construction of facilities at Washington National Airport to relieve
to some extent the congestion now evident.
It is not believed that the additional construction will provide,
however, more than a temporary solution; testimony was to the effect
that the relief provided would carry only into 1957 at the present rate
of air traffic growth.
Pending the completion of action on any of the proposals for a
longer range solution, the committee recommends that there be initi-
ated immediately studies of the possibilities in extending the utility
of the existing facilities and those which are plan.,'d for construction
with these funds by the removal of Military Air Transport Service
aircraft and supporting activities to another airfield in the area.

vessels than was contemplated in the 1956 budget. In keeping with
the accelerated program, additional work in inspection and the audit

Since the consideration of the appropriation for fiscal year 1956,
Public Law 129 has been approved (the act of July 1, 1955). The
committee, in its report on the regular appropriation for fiscal year
1.956 (Department of Commerce and Related Agencies Appropriation
Act, 1956), said:
Inter-American Highway.-The committee recommends an appropriation of
$25,250,000 for the continuance of the construction of the Inter-American Highway
which is the full amount of the authorized but unappropriated balance.
It is the sense of the committee that the interests of this Nation, our friendship
for the neighbor nations, the value of surface access to the Panama Canal, and
many other mutual benefits dictate early completion of this highway.
In recommending $49,730,000 for this purpose, the committee is,
in the strongest terms, reiterating the views which were stated in the
previous report. Under this appropriation, the highway should be
completed in 3 years.

Committee recommendation---------------------------------- 1, 500, 000
The committee recommends $1,500,000, half the amount of the
estimate, for additional funds for research into methods of bettering
hurricane and tornado predictions. The amount recommended will
be sufficient to cover the major part of the research operations. It
is felt that, if additional equipment for research is required, it may
be procured with the funds provided by the regular 1956 appropria-
tion, in excess of the budget estimate, for the procurement of weather
observation and research equipment in the Department of Commerce
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1956. The funds which
were provided in that act were to remain available for a period of
4 years because all could not be obligated at this time; the committee
can see no objection to the use of a part of the amount for expedited
procurement of material now available which will hasten progress to
more accurate predictions.

The committee recommends $2,700,000 in app.-opriations for the
administrative expenses of the Small Business Administration, the full
amount of the budget estimate and $680,000 more than was allowed
by the House appropriations committee. In addition, the com-
mittee recommends authority to transfer a total of $3,400,000 from
loan funds to this account to cover the cost of loan service activities-
the same amount for this purpose as was recommended by the House
committee, and the amount which was recommended in the estimate.
The appropriated amount is provided to cover t,4- agency's services
in behalf of small business, in the form of management aids and tech-
nical assistance and in securing set-asides of Goverr>ment contracts for
smaller firms. It is proposed to decentralize a gr ater proportion of
this work to the regional offices and to decrease the Washington office

The committee recommends the full amount of the estimate
,
$25,000,000, for the revolving fund, which is the source of the small
business loans made by this agency. This amount will provide for a
continued operation of the loan program at present, level, and leave
a relatively small amount of the fund available to meet contingencies.
Out of this fund, new loans in fiscal year 1956 are expected to total
1,100.
The House Appropriations Committee recommended the full
amount, but because of a lack of basic authorization, the item was
stricken from the bill on a point of order-as were many other items
in this bill-during its consideration on the floor of die House.
UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSTi`N
In previous years, the appropriations for the Uixited States Tariff
Commission have been included in the Independent Offices Appro-
priation Acts. This year, for the first time, the atead of $920,000
the House allowance for implementation of benefits under Public
Law 22, approved April 5, 1955. The increase, of $300,000 will
enable the Department to carry out the educational allowance pro-
gram in the fiscal year 1956. If it develops, however, that the full
amount proposed is not required for this purpose, any balance should
revert to the Treasury.

The committee recommends that the following paragraph be added
to the bill:
Miscellaneous items: For an additional amount for miscellat:ous items, exclusive
of labor, fiscal year 1955, $185,835.
The following general provision under the Senate is recommended:
Subsection (b) of section 1311 of the Supplemental Apprt.priation Act, 1955
(Public Law 663, Eighty-third Congress), is hereby amended by deleting the period
at the end thereof and inserting the following: ": Provided further, That in the case
of the Senate such report shall be made not later than March 31 of the year following
the year with respect to which the report is made."
Section 1311, subsection (b), of the Supplemental Appropriation
Act, 1955, requires that not later than September 30 of each year,
the head of each Federal agency shall report, as to each appropriation
or fund under the control of such agency, the amount thereof remain-
ing obligated but unexpended and the amount thereof remaining
unobligated on June 30 of such year. The gross unliquidated obli-
gations and the net obligated balance would be most difficult for the
financial clerk of the Senate to develop for submission by September
30 because of the fact that the accounts of the financial clerk are
maintained on a checks-issued basis and the development of obliga-
tions would necessarily require that obligation accounts be main-
tained at the obligation level. This amendment is intended to
adjust the submission date of the required report by the Senate,
without impairing its value, to a date more suitable tinder the neces-
sarily complex legislative accounting system.

Title IV of the act of September 1, 1954 (68 Stat. 1114), authorizes
appropriations to be granted for the purpose of providing uniforms,
or allowances therefor, for civilian employees who are required to
wear a prescribed uniform in the performance of their official duties.
The amount which may be paid to each employee, or the cost of the
uniforms furnished, may not exceed $100 per annum.
This act was amended on May 13, 1955 (69 Stat. 49), to allow
benefits under the act when the wearing of uniforms is required by
regulations issued after September 1, 1954. One purpose of this
amendment was to permit the extension of these benefits to employees
such as certain nurses, guards, chauffeurs, and firemen who wear
uniforms as a matter of custom or tradition but were not required to
do so by regulation in effect on. September 1, 1954. The foregoing
provision will make the above-enumerated appropriations to the
departments and agencies available for this purpose during the fiscal
year 1956.
The committee recommends the inclusion in the bill of the cus-
tomary antistrike provision, as follows:
SEC. 1502. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act, or of the funds
available for expenditure by any corporation included in this Act, shall be used to pay
the salary or wages of any person who engages in a strike against the Government of
the United States or who is a member of an organization of Government employees
that asserts the right to strike against the Government of the United States, or who
advocates, or is a member of an organization that advocates, the overthrow' of the
Government of the United States by force or violence: Provided, That for the purposes
hereof an affidavit shall be considered prima facie evidence that the person making the
affidavit has not contrary to the provisions of this section engaged in a strike against
the Government of the United States, is not a member of an organization of Govern-
ment employees that asserts the right to strike against the Government of the United
States, or that such person does not advocate, and is not a member of an organization
that advocates, the overthrow of the Government of the United States by.force, or violence:
Provided further, That any person who engages in a strike against the Government of
the United States or who is a member of an organization of Government employees that
asserts the right to strike against the Government of the United States, or who advocates,
or who is a member of an organization that advocates, the overthrow of the Government
of the United States by force or violence and accepts employment the salary or wages
for which are paid from any appropriation or fund contained in this or any other
Act shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, shall be fined not more than
$1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both: Provided further, That the
above penalty clause shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other
provisions of existing law.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
On April 26, 1955, the President submitted to Congress a message
calling attention to the need for further assistance to the more than
1,500,000 American farm families which now have an income of less
than $1,000 per year. In the words of the President:
In this wealthiest nation where per capita income is the highest in the world,
more than one-fourth of the families that live on the farms still have cash income
of less than $1,000 a year. They neither share fully in our economic and social
progress; nor contribute as much as they would like and can contribute to the
nation's production of goods and services.
In an effort to meet this problem, the Bureau of the Budget on May
26, 1955, submitted to the Congress supplemental budget estimates
(House Document 171) to enlarge the programs of the Department of
Agriculture in the following amounts:
Direct appropriations
Agricultural Research Service----------------------------------- $380,000
Extension Service---------------------------------------------- 1,285,000
%W Soil Conservation Service--------------------------------------- 150,000
Agricultural Marketing Service---------------------------------- 250000
Farmers' Home Administration---------------------------------- 850, 000
Office of General Counsel--------------------------------------- 36,000
Office of Secretary--------------------------------------------- 19,900
Office of Information------------------------------------------- 30, 000
Loan authorizations
Farmers' Home Administration:
Production and subsistence loans-------------------------- $15,000,000
Small-farm development loans----------------------------- 15, 000, 000
30, 000, 000
The program for which these funds are requested, as outlined to the.
Committee by the Under Secretary of Agriculture, proposes to find.
solutions to the problems of these farmers through improving produc-
tion and marketing practices, by shifting from full-time to part-time;
farming, by encouraging off-farm employment wherever possible,.
and by appealing to local states and communities to help at the local
level. The additional funds provide for increased research, extension.
and soil conservation work by the Department and an expansion of
the loan program of the Farmers' Home Administration.

4 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION BILL, 1956
With some misgivings, the Committee is approvii=g the full amount
requested, since the serious plight of the farmer; throughout the
country is such as to require the encouragement of every action which
may help, even if only in a small way. The Committee believes that
the Department of Agriculture, state and local agencies, and the
people themselves should be given every opportutity to foster and
promote those measures which the Secretary feels will contribute to
solving the unfortunate plight of these 1,500,000 to ~.y-income farmers.
According to the Department's own survey, 130,000 additional low-
income farmers were added by cotton-acreage reductions this year
and 58,000 farmers were forced off of farms entirely by such action..
The Committee is going along with the President's proposal in the
hope that it will enable him and the Secretary of Agriculture to
recognize that reductions in the level of price support, without proper
provision for meeting increased farm costs, and reduced acreage made
necessary by failure of the Department to sell in' world markets at
competitive prices, are the factors which are creatng the very con-
ditions which they hope to correct.
At the same time, the majority of the members of the Committee
do not consider the Secretary's proposal as a real farm program, nor
do they feel that it reaches the basic causes of the problem. They
are of the opinion that it can in no way substitute frer a farm program
which would meet present rising costs, decreased volume, and reduced
prices; and they are certain that it will not provid sufficiently ade-
quate income to the farmer, in the immediate future-, to enable him to
stay on the farm.
While the Committee recognizes that off-farm employment has been
helpful to rural families in maintaining a reasonable w.tandard of living
in some areas, the majority of its members have lit'ie confidence in a
program designed to encourage them to look to ci,v employment in
preference to considering agriculture as a worthwhi'e occupation and
a wholesome way of life. They can see some real dangers to the
American way of life if the present trend away from the farm is
allowed to continue and actually encouraged by the Secretary.
Further, since the present problem in many areas of the country is
one of creating additional employment for people now living in the
cities and towns, they cannot accept this feature of the Administra-
tion's proposal as a long-range solution to agricultural problems.
Mr. Morse, Under Secretary of Agriculture, speaking for the
Department, told the Committee that the increased costs incident
to the President's requested increase in minimuuw wages for labor
would not appreciably hurt the low-income farmers. Mr. Morse
further stated that reducing price supports had not and would not
appreciably hurt the farmer. He also attemptfcd to defend the
Department in its refusal to sell in world markets at truly competitive
prices, which thereby cuts the farmer's acreage, production and
income.
Now, with the small farmer in bad financial slw pe, as recognized
by the President, the U. S. Department of Agriculture is asking the
Committee to believe that to lower his price, increase his cost, and
curtail his production will not appreciably hurt him. Perhaps the
only thing left for the Department of Agriculture to recommend is that
the low-income farmer get a job in town. And that is largely what
the President, his Bureau of the Budget, and h s Department of

Agriculture have recommended to the Committee in support of funds
provided in the accompanying bill.
The farmers of this nation received 12 percent of the national
income in 1946, 11.6 percent in 1948, 9.4 percent in 1951; and in 1954
the farmer's share of the national income dropped to 7.2 percent.
This year the indications are that this percentage will go clown still
further, with a drop of one billion dollars in farm income in sight. It
is expected that the national income will increase another 20 billion
dollars at the same time.
Supporters of flexible supports frequently contend that a 75 percent
of parity support program will not hurt the farmer, because he is
already hurt under 90 percent support. It is true that he has been
in very bad financial shape, but in the absence of price supports his
situation would have been much worse.
The farmer's income is dependent upon the volume he produces,
multiplied by the price he receives, less his cost. In recent years the
farmer's prices have been reduced, and his cost has gone up greatly,
more than 12 percent in the last few years. The President has
requested an increase in the minimum wage for labor and has supported
increases in income for other groups. Asa result, farm costs are bound
to continue to go up. With his income dependent upon price times
volume, reducing the price can only make the farmer's situation
worse. A majority of the Committee believes that what is needed is
to at least maintain the price the farmer has been receiving, and to
increase his volume of production by selling competitively in world
markets what he produces.
In the opinion of a majority of the Committee, what has really hurt
the farmer is that his production has not been sold in world markets-
because the Department of Agriculture has not offered such com-
modities for sale at truly competitive prices. According to the
Department's own testimony, almost 4 billion dollars worth of farm
commodities are in the hands of the Government, and are not being
offered in world trade at competitive prices. The United States is
the only country which follows such a short-sighted policy.
By refusing to sell, the CCC has built its stocks up by billions of
dollars, paying huge amounts of storage. Such storage expense will
soon reach the staggering total of $1,000,000 per day, largely on com-
modities which are not offered in world trade at competitive prices.
Then further, such commodities, under the formula in the law, are
counted to reduce the farmer's acreage and marketing quotas. Thus,
the farmer's trouble and his reduced income under 90 percent supports
have come about largely because of his constant price-now a reduced
price under the parity formula of the Administration-multiplied by
a constantly reduced volume, less ever-increasing costs.
It is the belief of the majority of the members of the Committee
that to solve present difficulties Congress and the Secretary of Agri-
culture must correct two weaknesses in. present programs. The first
is to adopt a plan which will maintain reasonable prices for agricul-
tural commodities. Nearly every segment of this country's economy
is supported by one means or another, and it appears entirely reason-
able to provide some comparable protection to the agricultural pro-
ducer. If this fact were fully understood by all the people of the
country, there is no doubt in the minds of the majority of the Com-
mittee that there would be little objection to such a program.

The second solution which must be fully recognb nd and vigorously
pursued is to make certain that agricultural commodities acquired
by the Commodity Credit Corporation as a part of a price-support
program are sold on a truly competitive basis as authorized by law.
The majority of the Committee would point out tint the Commodity
Credit Corporation has full authority in its basic charter to sell agri-
cultural commodities abroad at competitive prices, which will move
them into world trade channels.
Committee hearings disclose that, while the Di;hartment holds a
convenient price umbrella over world production, American financial
interests have increased their production in foreign countries as fast
as the American farmers have been reduced at home.. A recent study
by the investigative staff of this Committee show:; that in Mexico,
cotton. production has increased from a prewar a~-erage of 324,000
bales to a. postwar 5-year average of 577,000 bales, and to 1,780,000
bales in the crop year 1954-55; at the same time, cotton exports have
increased from 105,000 to 1,150,000 bales. This stioly also shows the
following with reference to cotton production increases in other areas
of the world:
In the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey, Syria. Ira::, and Iraq, cotton
production decreased from a prewar 5-year average of 459,000 hales to a postwar
5-year average of 390,000 bales and then increased to 1,260,000 bales in the crop
year 1954-55. Cotton exports for the same periods decreer(d from 157,000 to
85,000 and then increased to 684,000 bales. It is believe:t that there will be
continued increases in cotton production in the Middle East,
Cotton production in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guat niala has increased
steadily from approximately 50,000 bales 4 years ago to an estimated 300,000
bales in 1954-55. A further increase of about 100,000 bales is expected in 1955 -56,
and potential annual production estimates after several more:' ears of development
range from 700,000 to 900,000 bales.
In Peru, cotton production has increased 25 percent during; the past 5 years to
505,000 bales in 1954-55. During the same period export.:. which are a large
proportion of production, increased 25 percent. However, it is reported the

crops.
This same situation also exists for other crops. J-`or example this
same Committee report reveals the following with r1Iierence to wheat:
Sharp increases in wheat acreage and production have been recorded in a
number of the European and Middle Eastern countries 3vhich have received
substantial foreign aid grants in recent years.
France, although reducing slightly the acreage devoted *o wheat in 1954 as
compared with the 1935-39 average, produced over a third o 100 million bushels
more wheat in 1954 than in the prewar years.
Turkey has almost doubled her wheat acreage since the 1935-36 to 1939-40
average and more than doubled her total production in 19:,3-54. Unfavorable
yields in 1954-55 resulted in a sharp drop in wheat production as compared with a
year earlier, yet it remained a third higher than in the prewar rears.
Greece although on a net import basis has increased her wheat acreage 20
percent and production by 50 percent as compared with prew.,r years.
Most Latin American countries, a9 a part of their progra'us to increase home
food production, have expanded their wheat acreage ans l production. The
acreage in wheat in Mexico has increased 50 percent while production has more
than doubled since the period 1935-36 to 1939-40. Althoumh wheat is a minor
crop in Peru, the acreage has increased 50 percent and pt4,duction has almost
doubled as compared with prewar years.
The Committee study also develops the following, with respect to
the American financial interests behind these increases in production
abroad:

The survey made to date on this phase of the directive indicates that the major
portion of private United States capital investments, financing and management,
has been concentrated to a large extent on one of the basic commodities, cotton,
and that this activity has been substantially limited to Mexico, Central and
South America, generally referred to as Latin America.
Here the increased agri ;ultural production, extensive in cotton but also to
a lesser degree in other basic commodities, has been generated to an important
extent by' United States private interests. Although it is not now indicated
that much actual farming or production has been undertaken by Aniericans,
in many instances the establishment of markets, cotton gins, elevators, processing
plants and the financing of production has provided the incentive and impetus
for an important part of the increased output.
In Mexico. Anderson, Clayton & Co. has increased its net capital investment
account in plants and equipment by $8,911,709 to a total of $12,653,316 during
the period July 31, 1947, to July 31, 1954; and in Brazil by $7,140,303 to a total
of $15,354,158 for the sane period. This company has increased total net capital
investment in plants and equipment in all Latin American operations, by approx-
imately $18,791,214 to a total of $33,073,037 for the same period. As of March
1955 Anderson, Clayton's foreign plants consisted of 15 compress and warehouse
units, 22 oil mills, 112 cotton gins, 10 oil refineries, 5 finished product plants,
and 5 soap plants. The company operates through a number of subsidiaries in
Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Paraguay, all of which are mostly wholly
owned. Operations were started in Mexico about 1924 and in Peru, Brazil,
Argentina, and Paraguay during 1933-35. Crop loans in all foreign operations
as of July 31, 1954 were $14,955,477. (Source: SEC records and company
reports.)
The Corn Products Company has plants, and grain operations at Guadalajara,
Mexico, in Argentina, and in Brazil. It manufactures and distributes products
using corn or milo-maize as the raw materials. As of December 31, 1954, invest-
ment of this company in foreign subsidiaries built up over some period of time is
listed at $14,749,000 During 1954, foreign sales of corn products by the com-
pany's domestic plants totaled $11,888,041 or approximately 5 percent of total
sales. Latest figures for sales of its foreign subsidiaries show that in 1953 these
amounted to $95,313,550. (Source: SEC records and company reports.)
The W. R. Grace Co. has one of its principal foreign operations in Peru. Peru-
vian subsidiaries of the Grace Co., jointly owned with leading local industrialists,
operate 4 integrated cotton mills, the largest in Peru, 2 sugar estates of approx-
imately 10,000 acres each, and numerous other merchandising, exporting, and
importing activities. These subsidiaries buy large quantities of cotton, mostly for
their own mills, although some is exported. The Grace Co. has other cotton
mills in Colombia and Chile. In the latter country it produces 20 percent of
Chile's cotton and rayon blend cloth and, in addition, some woolen goods. Over-
all, Grace's Latin American affiliates produced in 1954, 97,600,000 yards of
cotton, rayon and woolen fabrics. W. R. Grace & Co. owns a large percentage of
the stock in the Grace National Bank of New York City. The foreign branch of
this bank is closely connected with banking institutions in Latin America.
The Hohenberg Bros. Company of Memphis is one of the largest companies in
the cotton business. It finances and gins cotton in Mexico with its subsidiaries
Algodonera Hohenberg S. A. do C. V. in Mexico City, and Empresas Hohenberg
of Torreon. It also owns Hohenberg S. A. in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and has a sub-
stantial amount of business in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
And such interests are well represented on Department of Agri-
culture advisory committees and in organizations which advocate
the present policy of holding U. S. farm production off world markets
at competitive prices. All are part of the "trade" which Department
officials say they are trying to get to approve such competitive sales.
It is the hope of the Committee that the Secretary, in addition to
carrying out the program provided in this bill, will give careful
attention to the real causes of present agricultural difficulties dis-
cussed earlier and will correct at the earliest moment, present er-
roneous policy. The Committee stands ready to give him full support

 Appgoved For F~~~8~~Io41Ar8BB16 968004100060045-4
in such an endeavor. The majority of its members are firmly con-
vinced that such action holds the only real hope for a satisfactory
solution to farm problems.
With respect to the additional funds requested to strengthen the
research and extension programs of the Departitrent, it should be
pointed out that substantial annual increases in tl aese activities have
been provided during the past few years. In 1I'55, an increase of
$21,553,000 was provided. This was further increased in 1956 by
$14,292,000, making a grand total for this type of work within the
Department of Agriculture of nearly $130,000,000 annually. The
Committee is in full sympathy with these programs and believes
that they play a very valuable role in advancin
~ tare agriculture of
the country. As pointed out in previous reports, however, a majority
of the members of the Committee have some doubt as to whether
their continued expansion is a satisfactory solution to the present
difficulties of low-income farm families. On a long-range basis,
such programs can probably help the farmer toy somehow improve
production and marketing practices to offset constantly rising costs
and declining prices. It is not likely, on the oth{sr hand, that they
can provide any immediate increase,
ncrease in his annual income or make
any substantial contribution to his standard of living.
The Committee has agreed to the proposal to inkdl e additional loan
funds available to the Farmers' Home Administration. It has been
disturbed by recent efforts of the Department i o reduce the loan
funds for this agency and reduce its supervisory activities. The
record will show that Congress has consistently pro- %*: funds beyond
the levels requested by the Department in recent: Years. The C om-
mittee has questioned recent efforts of the Departp;.ent to curtail and
eliminate county offices, and to set up district offi es as a substitute
for the county and state offices. It believes that visits of district
supervisors will tend to give less actual aid to rural low-income
families, because the county supervisors will teb.d to wait for the
district supervisor to make decisions. The Committee has always
believed that close direct contact with rural families is essential to
their success in making a living on the farm, and this county supervisor
is in the best position to render such service.
In approving the additional funds for the state ,xtension services,
the Committee has provided that these funds be distributed on the
existing basis, since it lacks authority to waive present formulas in
the basic law making such funds available to the various agricultural
areas of the country.
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERvrcS:
The Committee is also approving the proposal it House Document
No. 171 to construct a building at Miles City, Montana, at an esti-
mated cost of $25,000, to replace an equipment repair shop destroyed
by fire last March.

AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM
The accompanying bill includes language proposed in House Docu-
ment No. 171 which would permit the use of up to $5 million of the
ACP appropriation for the fiscal year 1954 to meet emergency drought
conditions in the southern great plains states. This program would
assist farmers in the affected areas to carry out emergency wind erosion
control measures, including the planting of emergency crops this
summer and fall to hold the soil. It is a continuation of a similar
program for which $15 million was provided in the Third Supple-
mental Appropriation Act for 1954 and continued available in the
Second Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1955.
COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATION
The Committee has consistently urged the Department to establish
a more effective program for the sale of Commodity Credit Corpora-
tion commodities. It has also urged the employment of an experienced
sales manager to head up such a program. The Department has
recently undertaken such a plan, and the Committee is recommending
language in the bill to establish a new position in Grade 17, which
pays $13,975 per annum, to head up the program.

CIVIL AERONAUTICS ADMINISTRATION
Construction, Washington National Airport.-House Document 171
dated May 26, 1955, includes an estimate of $2,600,000 for various
projects designed to expand facilities at the Washington National
Airport to meet the increasing traffic demands being placed upon it.
The Committee' is recommending the full amount requested, since
this proposal appears to be the only means immediately available to
provide adequate airport facilities for the Nation's Capitol to meet
this serious problem. The Committee's action is based on assurances
received from the Administrator of the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion that aviation safety will not be affected by this further concentra-
tion of air traffic in the vicinity of the Washington National Airport.
In view of the urgent need, the Committee has approved the funds
requested, despite the fact that it believes that the airlines using the
Washington Terminal are not paying adequate fees to cover the cost
of maintaining and operating its facilities. The Committee believes
that the Administrator of CAA should take immediate steps to increase
all fees, especially landing fees, to the maximum allowed under con-
tracts in effect with the airlines. It also believes that such fees should
be increased to the levels in effect at the major airports serving
New York City as soon as possible.
COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY
Salaries and expenses.-The Committee is recommending the full
budget estimate of $159,000 contained in House Document 171 to
cover increased pay and allowances of active and retired Commissioned
Officers under the Career Incentive Act of 1955. The payment of
these increases is mandatory under the law and the funds recommended
must be provided to meet the additional cost.
MARITIME ACTIVITIES
Ship construction.-An estimate of $12,650,000 to provide for the
design and construction of the new atomic-powered merchant ship
recently proposed for experimental and exhibition purposes by the
President was submitted to the Committee in House Document 171.

The request covers design and construction, crew training, and related
administrative costs. The proposal contemplated that the Maritime
Administration would construct the hull of the ship, with the con-
struction and installation of the atomic reactor and propulsion ma-
chinery to be financed by the Atomic Energy Conunission.
The Committee has not approved the funds for the Maritime
Administration in view of the lack of basic legislative authority for
the construction of the propulsion equipment by the Atomic Energy
Commission. Also, the majority of the members?f the Committee
believe that the design and construction of an atomic-powered proto-
type cargo ship, to be used in regular commercial transportation,
would represent much more effective use of the fun=as than would the
President's proposal.
Maritime training.-The sum of $100,000 is included in the bill for
increased pay for uniformed members of the United States Maritime
Service at the United States Merchant Marine' Academy, Kings
Point, New York, as authorized in the Career Incentive Act of 1955.
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
House Document No. 203, dated June 29, 1955, requests funds for
the continuation of the Small Business Administration during the
fiscal year 1956, including $25,000,000 additional, for the revolving
fund and $6,100,000 for salaries and expenses. The latter amount
contemplates a direct appropriation of $2,700,000, together with
transfers of $3,400,000 from other funds.
The Committee recommends the full $25,000,000 for the revolving
fund in order to assure adequate funds to meet the creeds for loans to
small business organizations. In addition, the bill includes a direct
appropriation of $2,020,000 for salaries and expenses, plus the full
amount of the transfers requested.. The amounts approved will
permit continuation of the procurement and technical assistance and
the management functions of the Administration 'at the same level
as was authorized for 1955. Also they will cover he direct lending
activities and liquidation of RFC disaster loans on the full basis
requested by the Budget.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
The bill includes $3,000,000 for the preparation of detail plans and
specifications for the proposed building to house the Central Intelli-
gence Agency. Funds for construction of the building budgeted in
the amount of $59,500,000 are denied. It is felt that the inadequate
planning with respect to both the site and the structure as evidenced
in the hearings on this item gives the Committee no alternative but
to defer action until a more firm program can be paesented.
The budget estimate of $2,250,000 for advances to the Bureau of
Public Roads for access roads is approved. These funds are used for
the construction of roads to military installations Wild defense plants
upon certification by the Secretary of Defense under authority of the
Defense Highway Act of 1941, as amended.
The bill includes the full amount of the budget estimate, $4,200,000
for the construction of additional Loran stations by the Coast Guard.
The contemplated program will extend to certain vital areas the
present Loran system.
The most important comment the Committee can make with respect
to this chapter in the accompanying bill is to call to the attention of
the Congress the apparent disregard on the part of responsible officials
of the Executive Branch of the statutory responsibilities of the Con-
gress to fully evaluate and pass upon the fiscal re.juirements of the
Executive Branch. Why this Committee and the Congress should
be obliged to consider during the closing days of each session of the
Congress measures of this magnitude and importa=ice is difficult to
understand. A valid reason has not yet been advanced.

It was testified that the Services originally requested of the Office
v of Secretary of Defense approximately 10,500 items totaling nearly
$3 billion. While the number of items and requested appropriation
were somewhat reduced by the Office of Secretary of Defense, formula-
tion of the final budget estimates, received July 1, did take approxi-
mately one year. The Congress, having a responsibility for the
efficient and economical application of appropriated funds, was obliged
to give only hurried consideration to the budget estimates because the
new fiscal year had already begun.
The Committee is in position to appreciate the mass of detail en-
compassed by the esti.Trates for military public works, but must,
nonetheless, insist that this program be submitted to the legislative
committees during the month of January in order that time tray be
available for full consideration of the budget estimate. Mr. Franklin
G. Floete, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Properties and Installa-
tions, has testified to the effect that insofar as his office is concerned
the program will be transmitted to the Congress early in January of
each year.
The total amount of authorizations remaining unfunded as of
June 30, 1955 is approximately $2,057,000,000. Total authorizations
provided for in H. R. 6829, recently enacted by the Congress, is
$2,306,000,000 or a total authorization availability in fiscal year 1956
of $4,363,000,000. It should be noted, however, that Section 501 of
H. R. 6829 provides for the repeal of certain prior authorizations as
of July 1, 1956. The identifiable total that will be so repealed is
$811,000,000, although it may reach a much larger figure.
Against the total clrrently available authorization of $4,363,000,000
the Department of Defense has programmed for construction in fiscal
year 1956 a total of $2,630,055,000. Against this program a total
adjusted appropriation of $2,220,800,000 was requested, the difference
being considered as unnecessary because of general fluidity in a
program of this magnitude and because of normal and expected
slippage generally accepted by the construction industry. The orig-
inal budget estimate, transmitted to the Congress prior to the enact-
ment of H. R. 6829 totalled $2,273,550,000 of which $800,000,000
was to be derived by transfer from the appropriation, "Procurement
and Production, Army".
The Committee recommends a decrease in the program to a total
of $2,471,745,000. To implement this proposed program a total
appropriation of $1,879,491,000 is included in the bill, a reduction of
$394,059,000 in the budget estimates. Of the total recommended,
the amount of $483,612,000 is to be derived by transfer and
$1,395,879,000 represents new appropriations. It is fully recognized
that so long as we have an Army, Navy and Air Force we must have
adequate facilities and bases to maintain and house these Services,
and the reduction effected in the appropriation request should not be
interpreted as a reduction in the needed program. Action is predi-
cated solely on the considered judgment of the Committee as to

money requirements based on its analysis of the program and the
history of military construction funding.
The difference between the contemplated program and the appro-
priation recommended is $592,254,000. The Depat trnent of Defense,
however, should not consider the entire list of facilities included in
the report as permanently approved and it is expected that all projects
in this or previous programs not specifically financ'd from available
funds and for which financing is requested in the fu!,ure, will again be
presented in the detail program supporting future fund requests.
During fiscal year 1955 the amount of $1,964,000,000 is estimated to
be obligated out of a total availability of $2,903,000,000 leaving an
unobligated balance on June 30 of $939,000,000. W 'hile a reasonable
unobligated balance is necessary in this type program, 32 percent
obviously is excessive.
The recommended appropriation of $1,879,491,000 together with
the unobligated balance provides an availability for obligation in
1956 of $2,818,491,000. This compares with a to!:al availability of
$2,903,000,000 in fiscal year 1955. The elimination of specific
projects in the amount of approximately $150,000,000 will, of course,
reduce the total estimated obligations in 1956 which is reported in
the amount of $2,235,000,000 for all three Services. Thus, even
should the total. obligations approach $2,100,000,000, the remaining
unobligated balance of something over $700,000,[)0 should enable
the Services to continue without interruption an orderly construction
program into the first quarter of fiscal year 1957. While the fiscal
situation is slightly different in each of the three Services it is believed
that, generally, each Service will be in position with the funds pro-
vided to pursue its program as initially planned.
Military considerations should be the paramount rfactor in decisions
made by the Department of Defense with respect to the location of
facilities and defense spending generally. The Committee has sought
to reduce the land acquisition program to a minimum. The Depart-
ment now owns approximately 29,500,000 acres representing a total
investment, including facilities, of about $21,400,000,000.
The Committee is somewhat concerned over the growing centraliza-
tion of military activities in the vicinity wherein :'amp Carson and
the Air Defense Command are now located and the new Air Force
Academy is proposed. It is suggested, therefore, that a further
study be made of this area with especial reference to the water situa-
tion, bearing in mind the potential growth in population that the
water and other resources will serve in the foreseeal,le future.
Considerable discussion was had during and subsequent to the
hearings on the matter of single bedroom family housing. It is
recommended that the programs of each of the Ser .. ices for this type
construction be reviewed to insure that only those single bedroom
dwellings will be constructed as definitely meet the lciig-term demands
of the Services.
It is trusted that the existing understanding with the Committee
calling for the allocation of adequtae funds requireditir the completion
of a usable facility will continue. Disruption of the construction
processes no matter how short the duration is costly and should be
avoided.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Now The Department of the Army has requested $545,000,000 for the
appropriation "Military Construction, Army", to be derived by trans-
fer from the appropriation "Procurement and Production, Army".
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $483,612,000, to be
derived by transfer as proposed in the estimate, a reduction of
$61,388,000. This is the first time since fiscal year 1953 that the
Army has requested funds for this appropriation due to large unobli-
gated balances that were available and now have been reduced through
reprogramming authorized by the Congress. In addition, request has
been made for permission to reprogram $15,091,000 of prior author-
izations and the Committee recommends that this authority be granted
in the manner justified to the Committee, as set out in the following
table:

Total ----------------------------------15,091,000
The item in the above tabulation for the U. S. Military Academy is
------ -------
to be specifically noted. In accordance with the Committee's report
last year a survey was made of the proposal to convert the riding
hall to classroom spaces and authority is now given to proceed with
this construction as originally planned out of funds previously
authorized. Testimony indicates that the rise in construction costs
have increased the current working estimate to $8,950,000. In addi-
tion to approving the request to reprogram $8,450,000 permission is
granted to use additional available funds to cover the increase in
costs totaling $500,000.
The appropriation recommended, $483,612,000, is to finance a pro-
gram totaling $553,880,000 as set forth in the following tabulation.
Those projects that have been specifically denied are set out in the
paragraphs following the tabulation. These amounts may be com-
pared with a program request of $566,533,000 and a funding request
of $545,000,000. The Committee recognizes the need for latitude in
a construction program of this magnitude, and feels that it has pro-
vided such latitude in approving an amount only $70,268,000 below
the estimated cost of the recommended 1956 program. This amount
takes into consideration a slippage of approximately 13%. It was
testified a slippage of 10 to 15 percent is generally accepted as normal.
The Committee feels that as the program is developed and as
deletions are made due to slippage in programming or construction,
first consideration should be given toward providing quarters and
necessary operational facilities. If there are items which can or must
he deferred they should be in other categories.

in the area so that priority may be given to nvded quarters and
operational facilities.
Academic Building, Command and General Staff College, Fort Leaven-
worth, Kans.-The estimate of $5,433,000 for this project has been
denied. Testimony indicates that the proposed facility is based on
the same student load as the present strength and that the existing
buildings would be continued in use but converted to other purposes.
The Committee does not feel that construction of this building is
justified at this time.
Black Hills Ordnance Depot, Black Hills, S. Dak.' 100 units of family
housing, and Fort Huachuca, Ariz., fieldhouse and bachelor officers'
quarters.-These items totalling $2,615,000 were inserted in the author-
ization bill by the Senate. Inasmuch as they are unbudgeted items
upon which the House has not had an opportunit-,- to hold hearings
they are not included in this bill.
PORT WHITTIER, ALASKA
The Committee's attention has been directed to the Army's con-
tinuing policy of refusing to open the port at Whittier, Alaska to
civilian use. Information has been received that ftidditional tonnage
could be handled at this port and at a lesser cost through the use of
civilian labor. The Committee requests the Depw tment to proceed
with plans to open this port by the first of the year, or if this is not
feasible to provide just reason and cause why it should not be done.
For the Navy military public works program, the Committee had
before it for consideration a tentative program request for 1956
totaling $646,196,300, of which $596,140,900 is new authorizations in

the House version of H. R. 6829 and $50,055,400 is previously approved
but unfunded projects. Conference adjustments on H. R. 6829 had
the effect of reducing the total to $614,279,700 as shown in the table
on p. 15 of the printed hearings. The Committee has approved for
funding projects totaling $606,479,700, a reduction of $7,800,000,
representing reduction in one item and deletion of two projects.
These are commented upon below. The approved total includes
$64,987,700 for 3,650 family housing units.
The budget estimate for appropriation purposes to fund the 1956
program is $528,550,000-somewhat less than the program presented
for funding authority. The Committee recommends appropriation
of $439,950,000, a reduction of $88,600,000. The .appropriation for
1955 was $98,000,000 under which, in combination =with unobligated
balances from prior years, the Department indicates estimated obliga-
tions in 1955 of $248 millions. Approximately $122,000,000 unobli-
gated will carry over into 1956, most of which, however is stated to
be committed to previously approved projects.
Basically, the reasons advanced for not requesting appropriation to
an amount equal to the total of the projects on which the Department
seeks funding authority are unforsecable delays on projects occasioned
by land acquisition problems, timing of granting of base rights, etc.
The total list of projects, however, is justified as urgent, and if
delays occur on certain ones the Department can proceed on others
and thus expedite consummation of the total long range construction
requirements.
The reduction of $88,600,000 is based on several things. One is
the final adjustment in the conference on H. R. 6829 wherein several
projects in the original budgeted program were dropped. Further,
the Committee has reduced or deleted three items as previously indi-
cated. Still another reason-and this is the foremost- -is the fact
that to get this large program underway, the Department does not
need as much as requested. The budget projects, as of the end of
fiscal year 1956, an unobligated balance of about $242,000,000. A
substantial portion of that balance will be supported by detailed
project plans and specifications and thus required to permit orderly
flow of contract placement in the ensuing few months pending avail-
ability of 1957 funds to keep the program in motion. On the other
hand, the evidence is clear that a sizable part will not be supported
by detailed plans. Contracts cannot be advertised and construction
obligations incurred without such plans.
The Committee's action should in no way slow down the orderly
prosecution of the approved program. The Department should pro-
ceed, within the amount allowed, to have detailed plans and specifi-
cations prepared and ready on all approved projects as originally
planned. Funding requirements for actual contractual purposes can
be further determined in the 1957 bill.
There follows the list of facilities with projects for which the Com-
mittee has approved funding authority as justified before the Com-
mittee:

CORRECTION OF DEFICIENCIES
Yards and docks facilities: Various locations, continental at= I over-

Grand total -------------------------------------------- 606,479,700
The sum of $6,000,000 was requested for "Correction of deficien-
cies", which is simply a standby insurance fund to replace or repair
facilities damaged or destroyed by fire, storms, et-:. For, 1955, the
amount of $4,000,000 was appropriated although due to unusual
hurricane damage, it was necessary to augment ilie fund through
reprogramming from other items. The CommitteeJias cut $2,000,000
from the request, allowing $4,000,000.
The Committee has deleted the item of $2,000,000 for preparation
of plans and specifications for a new drydock at the Puget Sound
Shipyard to handle Forrestal class carriers that have been battle
damaged. The project was not budgeted by the Dc partment, having

 Approved For R@ ,%JQR?JQ8/1~pR #fiWS8 16'PP600410006645-4
been inserted in the authorization bill by the other body. The Com-
mittee has not had opportunity to fully consider the matter and,
under the circumstances, has not included it in the approved list.
Another item deleted, and without prejudice, is $3,800,000 re-
quested for a new building to house operations involving manufacture
of inert ammunition components at the Naval Ordnance Plant,
Macon, Georgia. The Committee doubts the advisability of going
ahead with an expenditure of this magnitude at this time, especially
in view of prevailing policy as regards competition of industrial-type
activities with private enterprise. The operations involve production
of ordnance material for which there is adequate private capacity on
a competitive basis. Operations currently being carried on at the
station are of course not affected by this action.
DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
The Department presented a program including several thousand
individual projects at over 250 Air Force bases totaling $1,449,242,000.
The Committee has deleted specific projects from this total in the
amount of $137,857,000. For appropriation in the new fiscal year the
Department requested $1,200,000,000, of which $255,000,000 was to
be derived by the transfer of unobligated funds available to the Army.
The Committee is recommending for direct appropriation $955,-
929,000, a reduction of $244,071,000 in the overall funding request.
This amount for appropriation together with the balances carried into
the new fiscal year should. be sufficient to keep essential Air Force
construction going throughout fiscal 1956 and provide adequate
balances to keep the program going into fiscal 1957.
The difference between the amount programed for specific projects
and the amount to be appropriated is $355,456,000. In other words
this is the amount in the Air Force program for which funds are not
provided. However, the projects which might have been covered by
this amount are not identified, and no priority list has been established.
A program as diversified as the Air Force program must of necessity
have a certain amount of flexibility in order that full advantage may
be taken of continually changing requirements. The Committee is,
accordingly, approving as eligible for construction air bases and facili-
ties at the above stated cost in excess of the funds provided.
The Committee is certain that many of the projects still remaining
in the program should be given further study. It is expected that this
will be done and that with the funds appropriated only those projects
most vital to the Air Force program will be undertaken.
The following tabulation shows the amounts programed for installa-
tions within Continental United States and the several area commands
and programs overseas:

3'L SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION BILL, 1956
The foregoing gives some idea of the magnitude of the Air Force
construction program. Not included in that tabulation are the
projects totaling $137,857,000 specifically deleted bN the Committee.
The Committee continues to support the 137 wing program of the
Air Force. None of the reductions imposed in the accompanying bill
should be interpreted as an indication that the Committee wishes to
abandon or retard attainment of the 137 wing goal a.. soon as possible.
The following comments are made with respect to the deleted projects.
The newly proposed base in southwest Florida to be used as a
weapons proving center has been deleted because in the opinion of the
Committee sufficient facilities of this type are already being developed
and operated by the three services.
The proposed addition to the infirmary at Duluth Air Force Base
should wait until plans are firm and a satisfactory explanation of the
requirement can be presented to the Committee.
It is the opinion of the Committee that no new construction should
be undertaken at Ent Air Force Base, the Headquarters of the Air
Defense Command, until a careful study is made of the long range
effect on the water supply of having this base, tie Army's Camp
Carson and the Air Academy all located at Colorado Springs.
Additional funds for the Grand Forks, North Dakota base are
withheld until the land and housing problems are resolved.
No funds are provided for the proposed jet base to be located in the
area of Traverse City, Michigan, pending a final selection of the site
on which it is to be constructed.
The request for funds to construct a new headquarters building for
the Air Research and Development Command is premature and
accordingly has been denied. It is suggested that tiie Air Force look
into the possibility of making a satisfactory lease-purchase arrange-
ment with private interests.
At Beale Air Force Base in California there has been a long standing
dispute with the former land owners over the return of at least a por-
tion of the land held for this base. The Committee is not sufficiently
informed to attempt to pass judgment on this dispute, but is of the
opinion that it should be settled one way or another a> soon as possible.
To help speed the process all funds for new construction at this base
are being withheld until the land question is resolved. Accordingly,
the amount provided pertains only to the acquisition of subsurface
mineral rights.
The Department failed to fully justify the proposed air condi-
tioning at the St. Louis Aeronautical Chart and Inormation Center
at nearly twice the usual cost for such installations.
Funds for hospital facilities at the Lincoln Air Force Base have been
deleted pending a decision regarding use of the existing Veterans
hospital near this base.
The Committee feels that swimming pools are a very desirable
recreational and training facility, but the Department failed to
explain the need for more than one such installation as proposed at a
number of bases. Accordingly, second pools at Hun er, Lake Charles,
Travis and England Air Force Bases have been eliminated.
All new funds for construction of the Air Acadt-my are withheld
and it is the Committee's wish that no construction what-so-ever
be started using previously appropriated funds until a further specific
request for construction money has been approved by the Com-

mittee. The Committee and individual Members of Congress have
received a great deal of adverse comment on the recently publicized
preliminary designs of the Academy and feel strongly that it would be
most unwise to provide funds for construction until the design is more.
firmly established. The new Academy should reflect the best tradi-
tions in American architecture; the design should inspire the confidence
and respect of the American people. It is suggested that the Secretary
consult with the Commission of Fine Arts before accepting a proposed
design for this national institution.
For fiscal 1956 the Department has requested a new item for this
appropriation under the heading Minor Construction. Such work
has previously been done with maintenance and operations funds.
The Committee is approving this request but with the understanding
that the Department will submit quarterly reports on projects under-
taken with these funds. Such reports should include a description
of the project, the total estimated cost and funds allocated during the
quarter.
On the overseas portion of the program the Committee has reduced
requested funds on the basis that the Department will not be read
to go ahead with part of the program during fiscal 1956. Some sma
reductions were made to trim the excessive square foot cost of a cold
storage facility at Hickam Air Force Base, T. H., and to eliminate a
proposed exchange sales store at Keflavik, Iceland.

and obligations of the United States in connection with the govern-
ment or occupation of the Ryukyu Islands, the most important of

which may be used for the purpose, and is not an appropriation out of
the general revenues of the Treasury.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $400,000, the full
amount of the estimate submitted in House Document No. 202.
This amount will be required for administrative expenses upon enact-
ment into law of H. R. 6382, authorizing the Commission to receive
and determine certain war damage, nationalization and debt claims
against the Governments of Bulgaria, Hungary, Rumania, Italy, and
Russia. At the time of the hearings, the bill was awaiting action in
the Senate. The amount recommended herein will be more than
off-set by deposits, into the U. S. Treasury as miscellaneous receipts,
of five percent of each of the five separate funds as authorized in the
pending bill.
PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON VETERANS PENSIONS
The bill includes the amount of the budget estimate, $300,000, for
the administrative expenses of this Commission for the fiscal year
1956. The Commission, established January 14, 1955, has been
financed heretofore out of the President's Emergency Fund. The
Commission's task is to review the structure, scope, philosophy, and
administration of the pension, compensation, and related nonmedical
benefits furnished under Federal legislation to veterans and their
families. The objective being the improvement of the benefit struc-
ture and the establishment of an orderly and equitable relationship to
other benefit programs. This appropriation identifies the Commission
as an entity, and should be ample to enable it to complete its work
early in 1956, as presently estimated.

INDEPENDENT OFFICES
FEDERAL CIVIL DEFENSE ADMINISTRATION
The Committee recommends supplemental appropriations totaling
$8,650,000 for this agency, which will make available $65,000,000 for
civil defense in fiscal year 1956, including the amounts previously
appropriated in the regular bill. The additional amounts at this time
are to initiate a program to obtain detailed evacuation, shelter, and
other operational plans and related research for each of the critical
target areas during time of danger. Such a program was not proposed
in the original budget submission.
Operations.-The Committee recommends $650,000 for this item,
which is a reduction of $350,000 in the budget estimate and is in
addition to $11,300,000 previously included under this heading in the
Independent Offices Appropriation Act for 1956. The supplemental
amount is to provide for 150 additional employees in connection with
the new evacuation studies to be undertaken.
Surveys, plans, and research.-The bill provides $8,000,000, a reduc-
tion of $4,000,000 in the budget estimate, to assist States and cities
in the orderly development of evacuation and other related plans for
each of the 92 critical target areas, and to conduct research into the
most pressing problems resulting from radioactive fallout in order to
determine prompt and effective measures to meet such hazards. It
will not be possible to make such studies of all the cities during the
fiscal year ahead and the language makes the funds available until
the program is completed. It is expected that economies can be made
in the overall program as more definite estimates of cost are obtained
and as experience from the first studies is utilized to the benefit of
those studies that follow.
Civil defense functions of Federal agencies.-The Committee has not
approved the budget estimate of $3,050,000 for financing delegations
of authority made by the Federal Civil Defense Administration to six
different departments and agencies. Similar amounts were denied
previously in the regular budget submissions of some of the agencies
represented.
During the hearings the justifications for all of the additional
amounts were examined, and the Committee can see no sufficient
difference from the normal programs and responsibilities of the
agencies concerned to warrant extra appropriations. Each agency
already has primary responsibility existing in the fields of delegated

,
authority and civil defense features can be integrated into regular
operations just as is the case in the Department of Agriculture where
no additional funds are requested, and as many of the same agencies
are already doing with defense mobilization activities.
GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Sites and planning, purchase contract, and public buildings proj-
ects.-The Committee recommends the full budget estimate of
$15,000,000 for expenses in connection with lease-purchase activities
authorized by the Public Buildings Purchase Contract Act of 1954
which do not become a part of the lease-purchase contract. These
expenses include preparation of drawings and speciications, admin-
istrative expenses for the program, and site acquisitions, including soil
investigations and tests. These items are financed wholly from appro-
priated funds and the amount provided will ena'ile the General
Services Administration to proceed with the full program as proposed
for 1956.
The proposed provision in the budget estimate to increase from
$5,000,000 to $15,000,000 the authorization of aggregate annual
payments for principal and interest under which the f eneral Services
Administration may enter into lease-purchase contracts has not been
included in the bill because such additional authority will not be
required for at least another year. During hearings it was developed
that only $1,608,000 of the current $5,000,000 authorization is needed
to enable the General Services Administration to proceed with the
contract awards for the first eleven lease-purchase projects approved
to date, and it will be ten months before any additional projects
approved during the remainder of this session of Congress will be
ready for bids. At that time a request for increased authorization
will be considered if such additional authority is required.
Acquisition of land, District of Columbia.-The Committee has not
approved the budget estimate of $400,000 contained in House Docu-
ment No. 171 for the Government to acquire a small piece of land
between 22d and 23d Streets NW, and facing on C Street NW, in the
District of Columbia. Plans of the National Association of Life
Underwriters to construct a memorial type n.ation.il headquarters
building in this area in the next year are well advair ced. The pur-
chase of the land by the Government would forestall sur?h construction.
The Committee believes the land will be put to bitter use in the
hands of private ownership than if it is to be used as a parking lot
by the State Department. It cannot see how Federal. plans for the,
area will be damaged by such a buildin and points out that it will
produce tax revenue for the District of Columbia whin b would not be
received if the land is owned by the Government.
Operating expenses, Federal Supply Service.-The Committee re-
luctantly recommends $200,000 for this item to resume participation
of the General Services Administration in the Federal catalog pro-
gram, a reduction of $50,000 in the budget estimate. The purpose
of this appropriation is to make the stock numbers of common use
items in the General Services Administration supply system corre-
spond with those in the Department of Defense. L.asmuch as the
Department of Defense is having difficulty integrating :;apply between
the three Services there are delays that will inevitab ,: occur and the
amount provided will be sufficient to enable the General Services

Administration to resume the part of its program necessary during
the fiscal year 1956.
Expenses, General Supply Fund.-The bill provides $1,000,000 for
this purpose, a reduction of $300,000 in the budget estimate. This
amount. is in addition to $12,000,000 included in the regular bill, and
will enable the general supply fund to handle a substantially larger
increase in business resulting from recent agreements with the Depart-
ment of Defense, and which was not anticipated in the original
budget estimate.
Of the additional amount provided, $300,000 is for nonrecurring
moving and space costs in connection with the relocation of warehouse
management and other employees into office space in the regional
warehouses where they will occupy less costly space and be more
closely situated to operations. Such a move has been urged by the
Committee for a considerable period of time and should result in
economies in future years.
Operating expenses, National Archives and Records Service.-The
bill' provides $100,000 additional for this activity, a reduction of
$45,000 in the budget estimate, to provide additional shelving, card-
board storage boxes, and other records equipment to enable the
General Services Administration to receive 600,000 cubic feet of
Veterans' Administration records that have been located in regional
offices. They will now be stored in low-cost Federal records centers
and valuable office space and equipment will be released for other
uses. Such transfers were not included in estimating the original
budget requirements for 1956.
Strategic and critical materials.-The Committee has approved the
language of the budget estimate authorizing funds presently available
for stockpile purposes to be used for transportation, handling, and
other costs related to strategic materials purchased with foreign
currencies under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance
Act of 1954. Foreign currencies finance the transportation of such
materials to the United States, but it is necessary to use stockpile
appropriations to move the materials to storage points within the
country and the language provided in the bill will clarify the authority
to use funds for such purpose.
Repair, improvement, and equipment of federally owned buildings
outside the District of Columbia.-The Committee has denied the
request for $1,150,000 to permit initiation of a program to air condition
Federal court facilities this year, even though the Committee is
sympathetic to the need for such a program.
During hearings on the Independent Offices Appropriation Act
for 1956 the need for a Government-wide air conditioning program
was thoroughly developed and at that time it was suggested to the
General Services Administration that they work out a comprehensive
plan for air conditioning those Federal buildings throughout the
United States that require it, and that the matter be carefully pre-
pared and presented through the Bureau of the Budget next year so
consideration can be given by the Committee for a program to be
started during fiscal year 1957. The Committee doubts the ad-
visability of accomplishing air conditioning of buildings on a piece-
meal basis for the reason that it is more satisfactory and less costly
over a period of years to follow an orderly program. The court rooms
and court chambers to be air conditioned in the budget presentation
are only a fraction of court rooms that need air conditioning.

Annual contributions.-The bill provides the budget estimate of
$4,100,000 for payment of annual contributions occurring during the
latter part of fiscal year 1955. This makes total appropriations of
$68,050,000 for this item for 1955, which is $1,050,E)0 less than the
amount originally estimated as being required foiti the fiscal year.
The supplemental estimate is based on actual needs for payments on
existing contracts.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
Management of lands and resources.-The budget estimate of $250,000
is recommended to meet workload increases in processing land lease
applications and inquiries relative to oil, gas, and particularly uranium
prospecting.
BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
I'ayment to Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of Indians.-A total of
$5,160,000 is provided in the bill for relocation of Indians of the Sioux
Tribe residing in the area of the Oahe Reservoir, which is under con-
struction by the Corps of Engineers. This amount is specified for
appropriation in Public Law 776 of the 83d Congress upon ratification
of the act by three quarters of the adult Indians of the Cheyenne
River Reservation. This has been accomplished.
BUREAU OF MINES
Conservation and development of mineral resources.-The budget
request of $1,250,000 was for continued operation. of the oil-shale
plant at Rifle, Colorado. The Committee has allowed $625,000 to
put the plant in standby condition until it can be disposed of as surplus
property.
No estimate was included in the regular budget for operation of
this plant because the Department proposed to put it in standby on
the advice of the Secretary's own survey team, and on assurances
from the National Petroleum Council that private industry was
ready to proceed with development of oil shale as a fuel source. The
Committee was advised by the Bureau in hearings on this estimate
that the Union Oil Company of California has announced that it is
starting an experimental oil-shale operation with a retort of its own
design on a larger scale than the Bureau's operation.
The supplemental request for continued operation of the Bureau's
plant was supposedly made necessary by roof failures in the shale
mine during February and March. It is claimed by the Bureau that
this means that more research in mining methods is necessary.
It is the Committee's opinion that a continuation of government
financed research in this field is not now justified in view of industry
readiness to proceed with oil shale development work.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRI
The plant is to be put in standby condition and the necessary steps
NW are to be taken immediately to dispose of it in accordance with pro-
cedures established for disposal of surplus property.
FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
Investigations of resources.-The budget estimate of $730,000 has
been allowed for fulfilling the obligations of the United States under
the International Convention for High Seas Fisheries of the North
Pacific Ocean. The funds will be used for research activities in
participation with Japan and Canada concerning migration and
distribution of salmon and related subjects.
Construction.-The Committee recommends the budget estimate
of $325,000 for construction of a headquarters building at Pascagoula,
Mississippi, for the exploratory fishing and gear development program,
and for replacement of facilities at the Woods Hole Fishery Biological
Station which were damaged by Hurricane Carol last year.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Working capital fund.-The Committee considered language pro-
posed in House Document 171 for establishment of a working capital
fund but disapproves the proposal at this time, pending a further
study.
JOHN MARSHALL BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
COMMISSION
The budget estimate of $82,500 is recommended for executing the

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR
Salaries and expenses.---The Committee has allowed $110,000 to
provide for the estimated increase in the workload of the Solicitor's
office which will result from the passage of S. 2168, or similar legisla-
tion, which would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act by increa sing
the minimum wage. The amount included in the bill is $90,000 less
than the formal request from the President and is $27,5001gss ,than
the amount requested by the Department of Labor. Through ap-
parent confusion in the Executive Branch the officials of the Depart-
ment appeared before the Committee on June 27 to justify a request
for $137,500 for an 8-month program beginning November 1, 1955,
and on the same day the Director of the Bureau of the Budget trans-
mitted a formal request to the President, which is included in House
Document No. 200, requesting $200,000 which appears to be based on
a full-year program.
The bill S. 2168, in its present form, would increase the minimum
wage effective as of January 1, 1956. Unless this date is changed before
the bill or similar legislation is enacted, the major part of the increased
workload will not materialize until the beginning of the last half of the
fiscal year. The amount allowed by the Committee is the full amount
of the request on a 6-month basis, with an additional amount of
$10,000 allowed for advance recruiting of personnel and to provide for
some increase in workload resulting from the preparation of regula-
tions, etc., prior to the actual effective _ date of the increase in the
minimum wage.
BUREAU OF EMPLOYMENT SECURITY
Salaries and expenses, Mexican Farm Labor Program.-The Com-
mittee has allowed the full amount of the request for $650,000. This
amount is provided for administration of the Mexican Farm Labor
Program. for the last 6 months of the fiscal year 1956. Funds for the
first 6 months are provided in the Labor, and Health, Education, and
Welfare Appropriation Bill for 1956. The appropriation included in
this bill is, of course, contingent upon the enactment of H. R. 3822, or
similar legislation, extending the program.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION BILL 1956
WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION
Salaries and expenses.-The bill includes $1,100,000, a reduction of
$700,000 from the request, for increased workload estimated to result
from enactment of legislation increasing the Ininbuuum wage. The
amount allowed will provide the full amount of the estimate on a
6-month basis, and $200,000 for advance recruiting and training of
personnel, and for some increase in workload which will occur prior
to the effective date of January 1 carried in the pertinent legislation
in its current form. This action is consistent with action taken on
the request for the Office of the Solicitor explained above.
The Department's workload estimates, and thus the requests for funds
for the Wage and Hour Division and the Solicitor's Office , were based
on the assumption that the minimum wage would be increased to 90
cents per hour. Since these were the only definite workload estimates
presented to the Committee, they also form the bps se for the Com-
mittee's action. A greater increase in the minimum wage would, of
course, increase the administrative workload.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE
FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
Salaries and expenses.-The Committee has allowed the full amount
of $300,000 requested for enforcement of food and drug laws relating
to poliomyelitis vaccine. These additional enforcement activities are
considered to be necessary as a further precaution against the develop-
ment of a black market in this vaccine.
OFFICE of EDUCATION
Salaries and expenses, White House Conference on Education.-The
Committee has allowed $50,000 of the request for $238,000. The re-
quest included $170,000 to provide travel funds for 1,700 of the 2,000
delegates expected to attend the White House Conference on Educa-
tion. The additional $68,000 was for Federal staff costs in connec-
tion with the Conference. The Committee was informed that the
legislation which authorized the White House Conference on Educa-
tion does not authorize the use of Federal funds for tll,, travel expenses
of delegates to the Conference. Therefore, no funds for travel ex-
penses of the delegates are included in the bill.
PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
Assistance to States, general.-The Committee hay allowed in full
the request for $4,500,000 for grants to states for planning and
operating a program for distribution and use of poliomyelitis vaccine.
This appropriation has no connection with the request for funds to
furnish free vaccine under certain circumstances as would be provided
by the enactment of H. R. 6286 or S. 1984. The Department re-
quested $30,000,000 for this purpose but in view of the fact that
neither the Senate nor House legislative committee, to which these
bills have been referred, has reported out a bill, it was felt that any
action by the Committee on Appropriations would be premature.

Construction of housing facilities for animals.-The Committee has
allowed in full the request for $400,000 to construct an additional
animal building at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Mary-
land. The testing program for polio vaccine requires a continuous
weekly supply of 80 healthy monkeys for the National Institute of
Microbiology. Since each animal must spend 2 months in quarantine,
this requires housing facilities for 800 animals. The amount included
in the bill is considered to be the minimum necessary to provide for
this housing and the additional laboratory space required for the
testing program.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $138,577,000, a
decrease of $156,123,000 in the budget estimate of $294,700,000 but
an increase of $27,694,600 over the 1955 appropriation.
The Commission has an unobligated balance of $101,000,000 avail-
able for 1956 in this appropriation. This amount together with the
$138,577,000 which the Committee has allowed for this appropriation
will make available for obligation a total of $239,577,600. Including
the unobligated balance the total amount available for obligation will
be $55,123,000 less than the budget contemplated. Specific reductions
have been made as follows:
The budget estimate for Olfsitc Access Roads was $4,165,000. The
Committee reduced this by $750,000 in view of the trend toward
generally lower construction costs.
General Plant Projects, Special Nuclear Materials Program were
estimated at $8,575,000. Many of the items could not be specifically
identified at this time. The Committee feels $8,000,000 should be
adequate and has allowed this amount.
Funds for the Reactor Training School, Argonne National Labora-
tory, in the amount of $712,000 were denied as the Committee felt the
cost unjustified in the light of the relatively small increase in students
contemplated and the anticipated short life of the. program.
The Committee is fully in accord with the philosophy and the pur-
pose of the Power Reactor Development Acceleration Project but
fools that insufficient data was presented to justify the budget request
of $25,000,000. More specific information should be furnished as to
how and where it is contemplated the funds will be expended. If the
opportunity is presented the Committee will give consideration to
additional information offered in support of this program.
The Merchant Ship Reactor for which $21,000,000 was programed,
has not been authorized and the funds lii ve been disallowed.

Under the Physical Research Constructioi Program-General
Plant Projects, the Committee feels that $1,000,000 should adequately
provide for the minor and unpredictable improvements that may be
required. This amount is a reduction of $410.000 in then amount
programed.
The Committee feels that the immediate and ultimate cost to the
Government of providing a New Community Hospital at Oak Ridge
would greatly exceed the cost of rehabilitating and keeping under
repair the existing physical plant. A total of $2,900,000 was requested
for a new plant. This amount has been disallowed but $50,000 is
provided to take care of minor and miscellai3eous additions and
improvements to the existing facilities.
Taking cognizance of the proposed sale of Richland, the Committee
has reduced the item of $160,000 covering water and sewer replace-
ments and improvements by $60,000. The Co emission's attention
is directed to the fact that the funds that will big expended on these
improvements should make the property more saleable and this
should be reflected by an increased sale price.
The general improvements of various types faUing under the head-
ing of General Plant Projects, Community E"acilities, for which
$1,125,000 was requested has been reduced to $1.000,000.
Recent estimates of the cost of constructing the AEC Headquarters
Building indicate it will not require the entire amount of $9,400,000
requested. Accordingly, $8,400,000 is allowed.
The Committee feels that the increase of $2,0,862 in funds re-
quested for Equipment Not Included in Construction over the esti-
mated obligations in the last fiscal year is exce?ive. Accordingly,
$27,500,000 is allowed.
GENERAL PROVISION
The Committee has included language in the General Provisions
of the bill prohibiting the use of any money for construction of trans-
mission facilities to connect with the Dixon-Yat.=s generating plant
at West Memphis, Arkansas.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The Committee recommends $1,820,000 additional for this item
for the fiscal year 1956, which is a reduction of $436,000 in the amount
of the budget estimate as contained in House Document No. 176.
Of the amount allowed, $600,000 is to meet unanticipated increases in
the passport activities and for the rental of quarters'. A reduction of
$100,000 was made in the request for communications. The sum of
$920,000 is provided to cover additional costs of educational transfer,
hardship post and other similar allowances, which were authorized
for payment to American employees of the Foreign Service by Public
Law 22, approved April 5, 1955. A reduction of $300,000 was made
in the educational allowance inasmuch as the Committee was advised
that the basis on which the request was arrived at, was an average
cost of $525 per student as compared with a cost of approximately
$250 per student for our military personnel. It was also testified
that the data used by the Department in formulating the estimate
was five years old.
INTERNATIONAL CONTINGENCIES
The additional sum of $1,000,000, the amount of the budget esti-
mate, is included in the bill for this item. This sum is to finance
United States participation in the proposed summit, conference, and
the subsequent three Foreign Ministers' meetings and five meetings of
the negotiating groups since they were not anticipated at the time of
the regular 1956 budget submission. The funds allowed are to be
used only for these specific meetings justified befogs the Committee
in connection with this request and for no other purpose. The
Committee requests the Bureau of the Budget to place these funds in
reserve until such time as the meetings are definitely set up. Unless
all meetings are held, a proportionate sum shall revert to the Treasury.

Salaries and expenses, claims of persons of Japanese ancestry.-
There is included in the bill the amount of $275,000, the budget
estimate, for payment of claims already adjudicated or expected to
be adjudicated during fiscal year 1955.
FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM
Buildings and facilities.-The request for $17,100,000, as contained
in House Document No. 171, for construction of a new maximum
security prison and a r.ew close custody reformatory has been denied.
The Committee is of the opinion that this is an item which should be
a part of the regular annual budget submission rather than a supple-
mental request. The Committee expects to give this proposal further
study prior to the submission of the Department's annual request for
fiscal year 1957.
THE JUDICIARY
The sum. of $2,915,500, the amount of the budget estimates is in-
eluded in the bill to meet the cost of the salary increases for judges as
.authorized by Public Law 9, approved March 2, 1955. There is also
included $70,000 to provide for salary increases for referees in bank-
ruptcy, as recommended by the United States Judicial Conference.
UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY
Salaries and expense..-There is included in the bill $243.260 addi-
tional for this item., which is a reduction of $186,740 in the, amount of
the budget estimate. The amount allowed is to provide for the
additional costs of educational, transfer, hardship post and similar
allowances which were authorized for payment to American employees.
As in the case of the Department of State the request for funds for
educational allowances was reduced by 50 percent for the same
reasons. The amount requested by this agency for reimbursement to
`1r the Department of State for administrative support was also reduced
by 50 percent.
FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT
EMERGENCY FUND FOR INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The bill includes $5,000,000, a reduction of $1,000,000 in the amount

fund is appropriated. to the President for use in the President's discre-
tion the Committee has allowed the same amount as was provided
for the past fiscal year. It should be pointed out, however, that it
is the opinion of the Committee that this fund has not been properly
administered during the past year in that funds were expended on
very questionable projects, some audits on expenditures were inade-
quate, and control over certain funds were relinquished by the De-
partment of State without proper safeguards. It should also be
pointed out that as of June 1, 1955, over 2'/ million dollars of the
appropriation for the fiscal year 1955 remained unobligated.
