=S'N,ivAi0ZA1'TDU',1 FOR LEGISLATIVE AND LIAISON OFFICER
Subject: Amendments to Proposed Legislation
1. A recent review of the Appropriation Sect-41-on of
the proposed legislation indicates that it would be proper to
add two specific authorities. One would provide continuing
from the last word of Section 5(b), "Expenses of travel in
connection with, and expenses incident to attendance at ireeti ric,j
of professional, technical, scientific and other similar
orzanizations when, in the judgment of the Director, such
attendance would be of benefit. in the conduct of the work
of the agency. t4 The Finance Office has recently informal
us that difficulties have been experienced with such expenses
which would be obviated by the above language.
2. The original Appropriation Section was drafted
prior to the Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946, and no provision
was made therein for appropriations to be used in settlement
of such claims. That Act provides in part/Z8 U.S.C. 921(c)7
that any award or compromise shall be paid out of appropriations
that may be made therefor which appropriations are authorized.
It is suggested, therefore, that after the provision quoted
in ra ragraph 1, the following "provision should be added to
Section 5(b) of the proposed legislation, "award, compromise
or settlement of claims under the provisions of the Act of J uPl st
2 1946 11-60 Stat. 843, 28 U.S.C. 9217.
