extended from 15 May to 30 June 1959.

the Contractor is authorized to expend up to $2,150,000.00. The
additional $10,000.00 to be used results from a voluntary refund

are available and that funds have been adjusted as provided above.
4. Certification of funds for this contract will be handled

expenses involving issuance of Treasury Checks being accumulated
in a separate account with the Finance Division. The amounts in
this account will be periodically scheduled for certification of
the vouchers by the Director. This procedure eliminates the neces-
sity for a separate certification of authorit under Section 8(b)

7/7/58) for each contract.
