XCTGUST :i (legislative day, Auuas-T 3), 1971.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. ELLTNDER, from the Committee on Appropriations,
submitted the following .
REPORT
The Committee on Appropriat:ioils, to which was referred Rouse
Joint Resolution 829, making further continuing appropriations for
the fiscal year 1972, reports the same to the Senate without amendment
and with the recommendation that the joint resolution be passed.
This joint resolution amends clause (c) of section 102 of the joint
resolution of July 1, 1971 (Public, Law 92-38), by striking out "August
0, 1971" and inserting in lieu thereof "October 15, 1971". Section 102
of Public Law 92-38 reads as follows :
Src. 102. Appropriations and funds made available and
authority ranted pursuant to this joint resolution shall
remain available until (a) enactment into law of an appro-
priation for any project or activity provided for in this joint
resolution, or (b) enactment of the applicable appropriation
Act by both Houses without any provision for such project,
or activity, or (c) August 0, 1971, whichever first occurs.
This, etteusion of the original resolution to October 15, 1971, will
permit the continued funding of those programs and activities of the
Federal Government for which the annual appropriation bills for
fiscal year 1972 have not been enacted by August 6, and is in accord
with provisions of similar continuing resolutions adopted in past
years.
Of the 14 regular annual appropriation bills, 10 have passed both
the House of Representatives and the Senate. All appropriation bills
referred to the Senate Committee on Appropriations this calendar
year have been reported to the Senate and passed, and further action
in the Senate committee is dependent upon the receipt from the house
of Representatives of the four remaining bills-the military construc-

tion appropriation bill, the foreign assistance appropriation bill, the
District of Columbia appropriation bill, and the Department of De-
fense appropriation bill. With the exception of the District of Colum-
bia appropriation bill, each is dependent upon passage of necessary
authorizing legislation, and in the case of the appropriation bill for
the District of Columbia, important proposed revenue legislation, upon
which the budget estimates for fiscal year 1972 were based, has not
been processed.
Since it is clear that these four regular annual appropriation bills
cannot be enacted before the termination date of the present continu-
ing resolution, an extension is required in order to assure the continua-
tion of programs and activities funded in these bills.
In a few of the regular annual appropriation bills, language has
been written into the appropriation paragraph stipulating that the
appropriations are available only upon enactment into law of author-
izing legislation. In the report filed by the House Committee on Ap-
propriations, reference is made. to this matter, and examples would be
the Office of Saline Water in the Department of the Interior and re-
lated agencies appropriation bill and the activities relating to waste
treatment construction grants, water quality, child nutrition, and cer-
tain other activities in the agriculture-environmental and consumer
protection appropriation bill. These are ongoing programs which have
been continued in operation since July 1 under the terms of the con-
tinuing resolution, and would be continued further until October 15
by this joint resolution.
As in all. other such resolutions, any obligations or expenditures in-
curred pursuant to the authority granted in this resolution will be
charged against the applicable appropriation when the bill in which
such funds or authority are contained is enacted into law.
The pending requests of the Ariny and Air Force for fiscal year
1072 include approximately $20 million for the operation and main-
tenance costs of the Joint Chiefs of Stall! directed and coordinated
exercises designed It:eforger III and Crested Cap. Ileforger involves
the return of the United States based element (two-thirds of a di-
vision) of the duel based 1st Infantry Division and some non-divi-
sional units from the United States to the Federal Republic of Ger-
many and return to the United States. Crested Cap involves the return
of four dual based tactical fighter squadrons and their return to the
f iuited States. These exercises involve approximately 32,000 people.
The committee questions the value of these planned exercises, and
it is likely that the funds requested for these exercises will be dis-
allowed or substantially reduced. Therefore, it is the view of the com-
mittee that no funds should be obligated for these exercises under the
authority granted in the continuing resolution as amended.

GRAN L 34 E BILL
The grand total of new budget (obligational) authority recom-
mended in the bill is $756,282,654, a reduction of $13,058,500 from
the $769,341,154 requested in the estimates and considered by the
Committee.
The Committee also recommends $20,000,000 in appropriations to
liquidate contract authority and $5,846,100 in transfers. Neither of
these sums involve increases in new budget (obligational) authority.
BIJ L HIGHLIGHTS
Just over two thirds of the funds recommended in the bill are for
payments that are mandatory under existing law. These include
$289,696,000 for benefit payments resulting from increased numbers
of claims and appeals under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety
Act of 1969; $216,400,000 in connection with transition of the Postal
Service as set forth in the Reorganization Act; and $19,029,734 to
pay claims and judgments rendered against the United States.
Funding for health and safety programs recommended in the bill
include $5,250,000 for safety inspections, technical support, investi-
gations, and rescue work needed to meet requirements under the
Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act, and $9,572,000 (including
$1.9 million by transfer) for increased inspection and improvement
of nursing home care.
The Committee also includes the following recommendations for
employment and labor relations activities: $41,700,000 to accelerate
work on water resources projects for States having major labor areas
with unemployment in excess of 8%, and a limitation increase of
$4,500,000 to provide job development and placement services for
veterans in connection with the program established by Executive
Order 11598.
OUTLAY REDUCTION
The Committee estimates that its recommendations will have the
effect of reducing budget outlays for 1972 by approximately $12,500,000
from amounts estimated for the items considered in connection with
the bill.

For the agencies funded in this Chapter, the Committee considered
budget estimates totaling $36,748,000, consisting of $22,576,000 in
new obligational authority; $10,000,000 for liquidation of contract
authority; and $4,172,000 to be derived by transfer.
The total budget estimate includes $21,248,000 which was originally
submitted in House Document 92-119 as an amendment to the regular
1972 budget estimate. However, that request was received too late
for consideration with the regular bill for fiscal year 1972 and was
passed over by both the House and the Senate. Also included in the
total budget estimate is $15,500,000 submitted in House Document
92-164.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $160,000, the
budget estimate, for implementation of an accelerated Outer
Continental Shelf leasing schedule to supplement national energy
requirements by increasing oil and gas leasing offerings.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH
The budget estimate contained in House Document 92-119 requested
$3,700,000 to administer an accelerated Outer Continental Shelf
leasing schedule by analyzing and evaluating geologic and geophysical
data to select sale areas, supervising existing and new leases for safety,
and assuring environmental protection and a fair return to the
Government. In its action on the regular 1972 appropriation bil,
(P.L. 92-76), Congress provided $4,000,000 above the budget estimate
for projects related to this work. Consequently, the Department of
the Interior subsequently agreed that additional funds requested in
House Document 92-119 were not required.

BUREAU OF MINES
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The bill includes $5,250,000, the budget estimate, for the increased
workload and costs of providing the safety inspections, technical
support, investigations, and rescue work needed to meet the require-
ments of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969.
While there continues to be some criticism of the administration of
this program, the Committee was impressed with testimony given
during the hearing on the progress which is being made to achieve a
respectable safety experience in the nation's coal mines. Funds
included in this bill will provide an additional 429 employees of which
375 will be directly concerned with coal mine inspections. The addi-
tional personnel should greatly enhance the Bureau of Mines'
capability to adequately monitor safety conditions in the mines.
OFFICE OF COAL RESEARCH
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
House Document 92-119 included a budget estimate of $10,280,000
submitted by the Office of Coal Research pursuant to the President's
"Clean Energy" message of June 4, 1971, in which he stated:
As we carry on our search for cleaner fuels, we think im-
mediately of the cleanest fossil fuel-natural gas. But our
reserves of natural gas are quite limited in comparison with
our reserves of coal.
Fortunately, however, it is technically feasible to convert
coal into a clean gas which can be transported through pipe-
lines. The Department of the Interior has been working with
the natural gas and coal industries on research to advance our
coal gasification efforts and a number of possible methods for
accomplishing this conversion are under development. A few,
in fact, are now in the pilot plant stage.
We are determined to bring greater focus and urgency to
this effort. We have therefore initiated a cooperative pro-
gram with industry to expand the number of pilot plants,
making it possible to test new methods more expeditiously so
that the appropriate technology can soon be selected for a
large-scale demonstration plant.
The Federal expenditure for this cooperative program will
be expanded to $20 million a year. Industry has agreed to
provide $10 million a year for this effort. In general, we
expect that the Government will continue to finance the
larger share of pilot plants and that industry will finance the
larger share of the demonstration plants. But again, the im-
portant point is that both the Government and industry are
now strongly committed to move ahead together as promptly
as possible to make coal gasification a commercial reality.
Basically, the program proposed in the budget estimate would pro-
vide for an expanded pilot plant coal gasification research program at a
total cost of about $30,000,000 per year for four years. The cost of the
Approved For Release 2007/01/18: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500050012-8
 Approved For Release 2007/01/18: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500050012-8
pilot program would be shared between the Government and non-
Federal sources with the Government bearing two-thirds of the cost
and the non-Federal sources bearing one-third of the cost.
The budget estimate reflects the first step in a $296 million program
that would involve the expenditure by the Government of $80,000,000
in the pilot stage of the program. If the program should progress to the
demonstration plant stage, an additional $176,000,000 would be re-
quired with non-Federal sources possibly providing up to two-thirds
of this amount.
Questions raised during the hearings developed several important
considerations in connection with this program that caused some
reservation by the Committee.
The Committee is not favorably impressed by the effectiveness with
which previous funding has been utilized in the -,oal research program
which has been operative since 1961. Through fiscal year 1971, a total
of $89,941,000 has been appropriated. In reply to a question on actual
accomplishments during this period, the answer was: "We have had
some economic studies that we feel have been a success, but as far as
hardware technology is concerned, most of it is still in the development
stage...." .
During the period fiscal year 1963 through fiscal year 1971, the
Office of Coal Research has expended $27,560,000 for coal gasification
research. At the same time, private industry has been conducting
research in this connection. Yet the practical feasibility of this
technique has not been finally established.
The Committee is totally and completely aware of the energy crisis
which currently confronts this Nation and which undoubtedly will
become more acute in the immediate future. All possible action to
alleviate this situation needs to be taken. Notwithstanding, careful
consideration must be given to any project which involves a large
expenditure of government funds. The Committee feels. that additional
information should be developed which would definitely indicate a
reasonable likelihood that this research will provide productive results;
in the ultimate the general public will be served and that benefits
which accrue from the project will be universally beneficial; and that
other sources of supply would not possibly be sufficient to alleviate
the continuing energy shortage which in this instance involves natural
gas.
The Committee therefore recommends that, without prejudice,
funding be withheld until additional facts and information can be
provided. Any resubmission of a request for funding this program
should contain an abundance of stipulations to assure that research
results will not accrue to the benefit of a "favored" few.
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $100,000 for
development of a master plan and provision of needed facilities at
the Muscatatuck National. Wildlife Refuge, Indiana. This refuge,
established in 1966, when fully developed will provide an important
link in the chain of national wildlife refuges in the Mississippi Flyway.
It is estimated that 1.1 million people live within an hour's drive of
the refuge.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
CONSTRUCTION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $110,000 for
project planning costs related to construction of facilities at Pictured
Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan. This area was authorized by
Public Law 89-668 enacted October 15, 1966. It is important that
adequate facilities be provided at the earliest possible time to serve
the increasing visitations at this area.
Language included in the bill authorizes the National Park Service
to acquire station wagons to replace sedan delivery vehicles which are
no longer available as a standard production item. The authority is
for 44 replacement vehicles of which 27 are needed with police
equipment. No additional funding is required.
According to testimony presented during the hearing, the Secretary
of the Interior in order to improve the efficiency of administration
in his office, has requested a supplemental appropriation for additional
personnel in the various sub-offices and has proposed that certain
activities heretofore included in this appropriation account be funded
in a separate appropriation account. The net result of the combined
proposal would provide an additional $1,286,000 for administration
of the Office of the Secretary. The Committee recommends additional
funding of $500,000, a reduction of $786,000 below the budget estimate.
The reduction includes the following decreases:
$75,000-To provide independent appraisal and advice on
legislative and organizational implications concerning the pro-
posed establishment of a Department of Natural Resources and
other projects.
$175,000-To establish an Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Indians and Territories. Authorizing legislation for this activity
has not yet been enacted. The Senate passed S. 291 on August 5,
1971, but no action has yet been taken by the House on the
proposed legislation.
$536,000-Provision of funds for a portion of the fiscal year.
The original budget estimate was submitted on the basis of a
full year's operation in fiscal year 1972. Several months of the
fiscal year will have elapsed before this appropriation is available
for obligation.
The bill provides $3,746,100, the budget request as revised by the
Department, to be available by transfer from the appropriation
"Salaries and expenses", Office of the Secretary. Under the authority
provided in this bill funding is included for the Natural Resources
Library ($931,300) and the Office of Hearings and Appeals
($2,814,800).

RELATED AGENCIES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-FOREST SERVICE
FOREST ROADS AND TRAILS (LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORITY)
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,000,000, the
budget estimate, to meet existing obligations for construction and
maintenance, and to avoid a major delay in efforts to provide timber
roads, the construction of which increases availability of timber from
national forests.
NATIONAL PARKS CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $250,000, the
budget estimate, to provide for the costs of the Commission for
planning and coordinating activities to celebrate the National Parks
Centennial Year designated by Public Law 91-332.
The bud et estimate proposed the transfer of funds in this amount
from the " Construction" account of the National Park Service. The
Committee directs that the construction program not be reduced nor
delayed by the transfer of funds for operations of the Centennial
Commission.
AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,800,000, a
reduction of $100,000 below the budget estimate, to accelerate the
Commission's program and staffing effort begun in 1971 to develop a
nationwide celebration of the Bicentennial.
Language included in the bill provides that these funds will be
available for obligation only upon the enactment into law of necessary
authorizing legislation. Ordinarily the Committee is not inclined to
recommend an appropriation on a contingency basis because the
required authorizing legislation has not been enacted. However, in
the opinion of the Committee this situation is becoming critical. The
observance of our 200th anniversary is only a few years in the future.
Time passes rapidly. If we are to have an observance of this memorable
occasion worthy of this nation it is imperative that planning proceed
with the least possible delay. Although five months of this fiscal year
have now elapsed, the authorizing legislation has not been passed by
either the House or the Senate. In the meantime the Commission has
been operating under authority of the Continuing Resolution which
provides for funding at the level expended last fiscal year. As long as
this situation prevails, there can be no acceleration of plans for ob-
servance of the Bicentennial.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
MANPOWER ADMINISTRATION
LIMITATION ON GRANTS TO STATES FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
The bill includes $4,500,000, to be transferred from the Unemploy-
ment Trust Fund, the amount of the request, to provide for the
employment of 500 veterans of the Vietnam war to augment State
employment service staffs in securing jobs for veterans in connection
with the program established by Executive Order 11598.
BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The bill includes $1,800,000, the amount of the request, to be in
addition to $4,310,000 already appropriated for the fiscal year 1972
phase of the project to update and revise the Consumer Price Index to
bring it in line with the economy and consumer buying patterns of the
1970's. Costs for the consumer expenditure survey have gone up since
the original 1972 budget was prepared and recent improvements in
survey plans have added somewhat to fund requirements. This Index
is the Nation's principal indicator of the changes in the trend in prices.
The Committee fully supports any reasonable action needed to assure
its validity.
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Executive Order 11598 requires all agencies, contractors, and sub-
contractors funded by the Federal government to list certain job
vacancies as part of a new program to assist returning veterans in
securing suitable employment. The Department will coordinate execu-
tive branch activities under the Order and will disseminate the job
vacancy information to State employment services agencies. The
Department requested a supplemental appropriation of $500,000 for
the Office of the Secretary to cover the costs of coordinating these
activities. The Committee is in full support of this program, but
believes that these . additional expenses can be absorbed within the
appropriation of $11,182,000 already made to the Office of the Secre-
tary. It is not the Committee's intention that this absorption be in

addition to other cost absorption that may be required. as a part of
the President's announced economy program for fiscal year 1972.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE
NURSING HOME IMPROVEMENT
The Committee has approved the full amount of the request of
$9,572,000, including $1,900,000 to be transferred from the Federal
Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, for an intensive effort to improve
standards in nursing homes. The need for such an effort has been
dramatized recently by fires in nursing homes in which helpless pa-
tients have perished. One of the purposes for which the supplemental
funds will be used is to train State and local nursing home inspectors.
The Committee expects that special emphasis will be placed on im-
proved fire inspection.
OFFICE OF EDUCATION
The bill includes $19,672,000 the amount of the request and an
increase of $454,000 over the 1971 appropriation to permit continuation
of the program of technical assistance for desegregating school districts
authorized by Title IV of the Civil. Rights Act of 1964.
The Committee has approved the full amount of the budget request
of $289,696,000 for benefits under the Federal Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act of 1969. Benefit payments under this legislation have been
much higher than anticipated when the regular budget estimates for
fiscal year 1972 were prepared. The Committee has also approved
language requested to permit the hiring of additional hearing examiners
to handle in a timely manner the unexpectedly large number of
appeals from persons whose claims have been denied.
HEALTH SERVICES AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
The bill includes $1,500,000 for loans under the District of Columbia
Medical Facilities Construction Act of 1968. This, in addition to funds
previously appropriated, will make the full amount authorized by that
Act available to nonprofit private facilities in the District of Columbia.
The Committee recommends approval of the full amount of the
request of $13,209,000 for planning and construction of-facilities on the
campus of Howard University. According to the testimony, supple-
mental funds are needed at this time to prevent serious delays in the
construction program. The Committee has always given full support

to Howard University, and continues to do so. However, the Commit-
tee is greatly disturbed by the fact that this supplemental appropria-
tion was made necessary because of a gross miscalculation of the cost of
constructing the University's new teaching hospital. In order to award
the contract for the construction of the hospital, the University found
it necessary to borrow a total of $13,209,000 from funds appropriated
for other projects. The Committee was not notified of this proposed
reprogramming until less than a week before the Summer recess, too
late for careful consideration of its merits. In the future, the Com-
mittee will expect to be informed of proposed reprogramming actions
in a more timely manner. Furthermore, the Committee believes that
there should be a thorough review by HEW and the General Services
Administration of the present procedures for developing cost estimates
for construction projects and for assuring that architects and engineers
design construction projects within the limits of the funds budgeted
and appropriated for them.. Funds for planning a new Howard Uni-
versity Teaching Hospital to replace the present Freedmen's Hospital
were first appropriated more than ten years ago. There is no excuse for
either the unconscionable delay in getting this badly needed facility
under way, or for the unrealistic cost estimates which have been
associated with it.
CABINET COMMITTEE ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPANISH-
SPEAKING PEOPLE
The bill includes $890,000, the full amount of the budget request,
and an increase of $165,000 over the appropriation for 1971. Funds for
the Cabinet Committee were not included in the regular Labor-HEW
appropriations bill for 1972 because the legislative authority for the
Committee's activities expired on June 30, 1971. Public Law 92-122,
approved August 16, 1971, extended the authorization for two addi-
tional years.

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
The Committee recommends a total of $23,549,920 in new budget
(obligational) authority which is $118,500 less than requested. The
supplemental requests submitted in House Document No. 92-164
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Office of the Sergeant at Arms.-The bill provides $1,550,000 for the
salaries of the .214 additional House police positions authorized by
H. Res. 449 (adopted by the House on June 2, 1971). Equipment
funds ($129,000) for the increased force are carried under Joint Items.
Members' clerk-hire.-The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to
cover the cost of such additional staff as may be hired during the
remainder of the year. This allowance will provide a total of $56,320,-
000 for fiscal year 1972. The Clerk's estimate of $1,500,000 was based
on the Members utilization of funds during the first months of the
year which projected an estimated balance of $600,000 at the end of
the year.
Contingent expenses of the House.-A total of $1,000,000 is recom-
mended for "Miscellaneous items". The request totaled $1,338,000
with $1,200,000 earmarked for a new equipment leasing program for
Members authorized by the Committee on House Administration,
effective June 1, 1971. The remainder of the request included funds
for the additional telephone allowance authorized in H. Res. 418, the
higher District rental allowance authorized by the Committee on
House Administration, and $50,000 additional for the Speaker's
personnel as provided in H. Res. 533.
The Committee has not approved the requested $60,000 for "Gov-
ernment contributions", but language has been included authorizing
transfers from the "Miscellaneous items" account if required. Except
in the regular fiscal year 1972 bill this has been the practice since the
"Government contributions" item has been set out separately from
the "Miscellaneous items" account.
Administrative provisions.-As has been the practice over the years,
the Committee is recommending language to make certain House
Resolutions previously adopted by the House permanent law. The
resolutions included are as follows: (1) H. Res. 418, adopted May 18,
1971, increasing the district office telephone expense allowance for
Members by $150 per quarter, from $300 to a maximum of $450; (2)
H. Res. 420, adopted May 18, 1971, increasing the postage allowance
for Members, committees, House leaders an,' officers; (3) H. Res. 449,
Approved For Release 2007/01/18: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500050012-8
 Approved For Release 2007/01/18: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500050012-8
adopted June 2, 1971, providing 214 additional positions for the United
States Capitol Police for the House of Representatives; (4) H. Res.
457, adopted July 21, 1971, which provides authority to the Committee
on House Administration to adjust allowances by order of the Com-
mittee for Members, standing committees, leadership offices, and
officers of the House; and (5) H. Res. 533, adopted July 22, 1971,
providing additional funds for personnel in the Office of the Speaker.
JOINT ITEMS
Capitol Police, general expenses.-As noted earlier, the Committee
has included $129,000, as requested, to cover the cost of equipment
for the additional 214 House police positions authorized by H. Res.
449. The salary appropriation is carried under "Office of the Sergeant
at Arms".
Official mail costs.-The Committee recommends approval of the
$18,400,000 requested for official mail costs during fiscal year 1972.
This appropriation would enable the Congress to reimburse the U.S.
Postal Service for franked mail on a current basis, as is the practice
of the other Government departments and agencies. The regular
1972 bill provided $14,594,000 for fiscal year 1971 costs.
ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL
Capitol buildings.-The Committee recommends $24,500 for
structural work in the House Chamber incident to the installation
of the new electronic voting system as well as the concurrent replace-
ment of the deteriorating and faded fabric wall covering on the
gallery level.
House office buildings.-The Committee has approved the appro-
priation of $25,000 requested for the installation of an environmental
control system in the House Library rooms located in the basement
of the Cannon House Office Building. The House Office Building
Commission approved the installation of this equipment as an interim
measure to protect the collection of books, some dating back to the
early days of the Congress. The Commission has directed that space
be provided in the Library of Congress James Madison Memorial
Building, now under construction, for the House Library and its
personnel.
Prior to the utilization of the funds recommended, the Clerk of the
House is directed to explore with the Librarian of Congress the
possibility of housing at least a portion of the collection in existing
Library of Congress facilities so as to preserve the books and cut
down on the area in which the environmental equipment is required,
and to report his findings to the Architect and the Committee.
The Committee suggests that the Committee on House Administra-
tion and any other appropriate Committees of the House give
consideration to legislation that would repeal the law requiring the
retention of the House Library and provide for its merger with the
Library of Congress, thus eliminating the existing duplication of
library service.

Modification and enlargement, Capitol Power Plant.-The Committee
recommends the appropriation of $1,200,000 for the preparation of
contract plans and specifications for expansion of the Capitol Power
Plant, as requested by the Architect of the Capitol.
An appropriation of $150,000 was included in the Legislative Branch
Appropriation Act, 1971 for an intitial study of the power plant
expansion. This study was recently completed and submitted by the
Architect to the House Office Building Commission under whose
direction the Architect operates the Capitol Power Plant. The Archi-
tect submitted a short-range plan, based on the findings of the report,
to meet the needs of the buildings now served by the plant and those
anticipated, including the Madison Memorial Library Building, for
the next ten years. The total estimated cost of the plan is $18,600,000.
The Commission approved this short-range plan at its meeting on
November 18, 1971 (the plan is outlined below). Such a plan would,
of course, require formal authorization by the legislative committee.
The committee was told that there is not sufficient time left in this
session for this process and it is understood suggestion was made to
the Architect that he request any urgently required funds through this
supplemental appropriation bill.
The Architect has indicated that the immediate need is for funds
for engineering and other services necessary to prepare contract
plans and specifications for plant expansion, and that without this
funding the overall work at the power plant would be delayed possibly
six months or more which would greatly jeopardize his ability to
provide service to the Madison Memorial $uilding, which is scheduled
for completion in the Spring of 1975. The present plant does not
have sufficient capacity to cool that building.
While the Committee has not had an opportunity to go into all
the details of the proposed plans-the request was made after the
Committee had completed its hearings-the immediacy of the request
seems apparent. The Madison Building-now underway-must be
cooled when completed. The entire proposal can be considered in
more detail when presented to the House Committee on Public
Works during the next session of the Congress.
The letter from the Architect to the Committee requesting the
appropriation of funds, including details and cost of the proposed
short-range plan, follows:
THE ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL,
Washington, D.C., November 23, 1971.
Hon. GEORGE H. MAHON,
Chairman, Committee on Appropriations,
House of Representatives, Washington, D.C.
DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: We are experiencing a very tight schedule in
attempting to coordinate the construction of the Library of Congress
James Madison Memorial Building with the expansion and improve-
ment of the Capitol Power Plant. The expansion, as I think you know,
is made necessary primarily by the addition of the Madison Building
to the existing plant loads.

 Approved For Release 2007/01/18: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500050012-8
The initial study of the power plant expansion, for which the
Congress appropriated $150,000 in the Legislative Branch Appropria-
tion Act, 1971, was completed recently.
The long-range portion of the study established that an expanded
plant to satisfy the estimated needs of the Congress and the Supreme
Court can be operated properly and efficiently in the present location
(without any additional land) and with due consideration to environ-
mental improvements, to at least the year 2000.
A short-range plan has been formulated, as a result of the study, to
satisfy the needs of the buildings now served by the plant and those
anticipated, including the Madison Memorial Building, for the next
10 years. The total estimated cost of this short-range plan is
$18,600,000.
A report on the study was submitted last week by me to the House
Office Building Commission, under whose direction we operate the
Capitol Power Plant. The short-range plan was approved by the
Commission at their meeting of November 18, 1971.
We had intended to immediately request formal authorization of
this program through the Committees on Public Works in the usual
manner. However, discussions with the Chairman of the Buildings and
Grounds Subcommittee, House Committee on Public Works, indicates
that there is not sufficient time this session for a bill to be considered by
his Committee and the House. He suggested that we try to obtain any
urgently required funds through the pending Supplemental Appro-
priation Bill.
Our immediate need is for funds for engineering and other services
necessary to prepare contract plans and specifications for plant ex-
pansion. An appropriation of $1,200,000 at this time would permit us to
go forward with the engineering contract and to administer the pro-
gram until next year when authorization through the Committees on
Public Works may be obtained for the full expansion proposed. With-
out this funding, the overall work at the power plant will be delayed
possibly 6 months or more which will greatly jeopardize our ability to
provide service to the Madison Memorial Building in the Spring of
1975, when it is scheduled to be completed.
I strongly urge that the amount of $1,200,000 for this purpose be
included in the pending Supplemental Appropriation Bill. Speaker
Carl Albert, Chairman of the House Office Building Commission, and
Senator B. Everett Jordan, Chairman of the Coordinating Committee,
Library of Congress James Madison Memorial Building, join me in
this request.
I am enclosing, herewith, copy of suggested appropriation language
and copy of the report which I submitted to the House Office Building
Commission. The short-range plan approved is outlined on pages 19-23
of the report.
Cordially,
(S) George M. White,

Architect of the Capitol.

SHORT-RANGE PROGRAM
The program consists basically of:
1. A new building comprising the first increment of a future mod-
ular-type plant to house a refrigeration plant of 24,000-ton nominal
capacity. The building will measure approximately 110 ft. by 110 ft.
and 80' above existing grade to the top of the roof-mounted cooling
towers.
2. A refrigeration plant of 24,000-ton nominal capacity consisting of
four (4) electric motor-driven centrifugal refrigeration machines with
necessary cooling towers, chilled water and condenser water pumps and
piping systems, local equipment controls, electrical load center and
other associated auxilliary equipment.
3. A new outdoor main electrical substation and underground
distribution system.
4. A new two-story operations building to centralize the adminis-
tration and control functions of both the new and the existing plants
having a combined installed capacity of 39,400 tons. New sanitary and
maintenance facilities shall also be located in this building. Central
monitoring and control equipment will be installed to supervise and
direct the operation of the entire Capitol Power Plant and its dis-
tribution systems.
5. A new underground chilled water pipe "headering" system to
provide for appropriate connection of the existing and proposed new
refrigeration plant with the existing and future distribution systems.
The system will be installed in a walk-through tunnel across the north
portion of the site.
6. The connection of the Madison Memorial Library Building and
contemplated addition to the New Senate Office Building to the
existing chilled water distribution system with flow-limiting equip-
ment, and flow and temperature measuring instrumentation.
7. The replacement of existing two 12-inch chilled water return
mains located in the north half of the old subway tunnel between the
Senate Side of the Capitol and the Old Senate Office Building with a
single new 20-inch main.
8. The installation of sectionalizing valves in both the chilled water
supply and return mains at various points in the existing distribution
system.
9. The reactivation or replacement of inoperative existing flow-
limiting and flow-metering devices and installation of new devices
where they do not exist in building chilled water connections.
10. New cyclone-type dust collectors for all oil-fired boilers
accompanied by the resulting modifications to mechanical draft
equipment and smoke monitoring devices.
11. New ventilated acoustical enclosures to minimize the noise from
existing induced draft fans, overfire fans, forced draft fans, and diesel-
driven air compressors.
12. Soundproof local control room for protection of operators in both
the existing refrigeration plant and proposed new modular building.

 Approved For Release 2007/01/18: CIA-RDP73B00296R000500050012-8
13. New noise attenuated ventilation system for existing refrigera-
tion plant and new module to allow operation with buildings completely
closed to protect residents from noise generated by refrigeration
machines.
14. An acoustical barrier for the existing cooling tower installations
to shield local residents from operation noise.
15. Demolition of the existing two-story Annex Building constructed
in 1931 located west of the original Turbine Room of the Capitol
Power Plant. This building currently houses the maintenance shop,
storage of small spare parts, and locker and toilet facilities. The
abandoned forge and machine shops are also located in this building.
This building would interfere with the construction of the proposed
new refrigeration building. The proposed new two-story operations
building will incorporate modern facilities to replace the function of
the old Annex Building.
As indicated previously, the Capitol Power Plant has ample steam
generating capacity to meet our estimated additional needs for steam
service through the year 1980. The refrigeration plant has only
enough capacity to meet our present needs and can not support
additional demands. Therefore, in order to provide cooling for the
Madison Memorial Library Building, currently under construction,
a program to expand the refrigeration facilities must be started
without delay.
One of the objectives of the comprehensive study was to develop a
program for expanding the plant facilities to meet, on schedule, the
short-range needs of the Legislative Branch, including the needs of the
Madison Memorial Library. Building, and to provide for any changes
that should be made to the existing and expanded facilities in the
interest of reducing or eliminating air, water and noise pollution.
Once the capability to continue to operate and expand the plant on
a long-range basis was determined, a short-range program compatible
with the long-range concepts was developed to expand the plant
facilities in accordance with the study objectives.

The Committee recommends the budget estimate of $34,100,000
to accelerate work on water resource projects under construction in
states having major labor areas with unemployment in excess of 8%.
The Committee has amended the budget project list to include
provision for construction on the Charles River project, Massachu-
setts, because of the critical unemployment situation in the area.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $40,000,000, the
full amount of the budget estimate, to foster, promote and develop
minority business enterprise. These funds will be used to provide
financial assistance in the form of grants and contracts to National,
regional, State and local organizations in support of projects which
advance minority business ownership.
The sum of $3,597,000 has already been appropriated for fiscal year
1972 to "Minority Business Enterprise, Salaries and Expenses" to
assist in the establishment of minority business enterprises and in the
expansion of existing ones. That sum together with the $40,000,000
recommended in the accompanying bill will provide a total of $43,-
597,000 for minority business enterprise for fiscal year 1972.
NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The $532,000 requested to move certain activities of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from the National Bureau
of Standards site on Van Ness Street in Washington, D.C. has not
been allowed. The move can be accomplished with existing funds
available to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The Committee recommends $1,750,000 for design and construction
of a fire research facility. The new facility is to replace present facilities
at Van Ness Street in Washington, D.C. which must be vacated to

COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS
There is included in the bill the additional sum of $344,000 for the
United States Commission on Civil Rights. This amount together with
the $3,400,000 provided in the regular annual appropriation Act makes
a total of $3,744,000 available for this Commission for the fiscal year
1972 and is an increase of $347,000 over the appropriation for fiscal
year 1971.
When the original fiscal year 1972 request was presented to the
Committee, the sum of $529,000 was requested for the activity "liaison
and information dissemination." Despite a reduction by the Commis-
sion in the amount of their overall request, the amount asked for
"liaison and information dissemination" was increased to $645,000.
This increase over the original request made on April 29, 1971 has
been disallowed.
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The request for $200,000 additio aial for "Salaries and expenses" to
provide for 21 new positions to carry out additional responsibilities
pursuant to certain Federal construction compliance regulations has
not been approved.
Inasmuch as funds totaling in excess of $80,000,000 have already
been appropriated for Salaries and Expenses, the Small Business Ad-
ministration should be able to provide for this increased responsibility
within the funds presently available.

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,500,000 to
continue contracts with the states to develop transportation planning
data in preparation for the 1974 transportation needs study. This is a
reduction of $2,500,000 below the budget estimate.
To date, the sum. of $1,300,000 has been provided to foster multi-
modal transportation planning at the state level. The additional
$2,500,000 recommended by the Committee is not an endorsement of
a program to provide continuous Federal support for state trans-
portation planning agencies. It is expected that these additional funds
will be used solely to produce information essential for the 1974
transportation needs study.
The bill includes $15,033,000 under this heading to complete seven
projects begun in connection with the supersonic transport develop-
ment program. The Committee concurs with the Department's proj-
ect selection which was based on an evaluation by a 13-member
Interagency Review Panel. Each of the seven projects meet the fol-
lowing criteria: (1) no new supersonic transport work is included; (2)
the project is sufficiently advanced to be assured of the value of the
results; and (3) the project has general technical applicability to
United States aerospace technology.
The accompanying bill includes language which provides, by trans-
fer, an additional $200,000 for the United States International Aero-
nautical Exposition to be held at Dulles International Airport from
May 27 to June 4, 1972.
The Military Construction Authorization Act of 1971 authorized
$3,000,000 for this purpose and the Congress appropriated $2,800,000
in the Second Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1971. Recently, the
Department of Transportation indicated that the estimated cost of the
exposition had increased by $2,200,000. While the Committee strongly
supports the exposition, only $200,000 of this cost increase is currently
authorized to be appropriated.

the Highway Trust Fund and do. not represent any increase in the
program level.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The Committee recommends the full amount of the budget estimate
of $10,556,000.
The additional funds are required entirely for postage. First class
postage rates were increased May 16, 1971 from six cents to eight
cents and 4.5 million additional mailings are now anticipated for
checks, savings bonds, and Federal tax deposit forms. Over 64 percent
of the total budget of this agency is required for postage..
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
PAYMENT TO THE POSTAL SERVICE FUND
The Committee recommends appropriation of the full amount of
the budget request of $216,400,000. The Committee does not recom-
mend allowance of the additional $213,800,000 above the budget
which was requested by the Postal Service.
Since enactment of the regular appropriation bill for fiscal year
1972, the Postal Service has concluded wage negotiations with ostal
unions which increased the postal operating budget for fiscal year
1972 by approximately $636,000,000. Against this, the Service has
applied contingency funds and certain management savings, but a
deficiency still exists. The Committee, therefore, recommends allow-
ance of the full budget request of $216,400,000.
Consistent with its action concerning the Postal Service appropria-
tion in the regular annual appropriation bill for fiscal year 1972, the
Committee again declines to specify the manner in which, or the pur-
pose for which, the funds recommended in the accompanying bill
should be used by the Postal Service.
The Committee has no intention to influence, and does not desire
that its actions be used to influence, the deliberations of the Postal
Rate Commission or any negotiation or litigation that may be pending
or brought concerning postal matters. As a matter of fact, one of the
objectives of the Congress in enacting the postal reorganization
measure was to free the Postal Service from as much outside influence
as possible, including that from the Congress.
On the other hand, the Committee is hopeful that the rate proposals
and related problems can be settled in the near future so that the

RECORDS DECLASSIFICATION
The Committee recommends denial, without prejudice, of the re-
quest for $636,000 to initiate a program to declassify World War II
documents and records. The Committee does not consider this pro-
gram appropriate for funding in a supplemental bill.
The General Services Administration informed the Committee that
the proposed program to review, declassify, and make available to
the public certain records and documents of the World War II era
would extend over a period of at least five years and would cost in
excess of $6 million. Testimony further indicated that over 100
permanent, specially qualified personnel would be required, all of
whom would require security clearances.
This program does not appear to the Committee to be of sufficient
urgency to warrant its funding at this time.

FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS COUNCIL
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Section 401, General Provisions, of the Treasury, Postal Service
and General Government Appropriation Act, 1972, limits the expend-
itures for travel to the amounts set forth in the budget estimates.
Congress in the Second Supplemental Act, 1971, authorized an
additional $12,000 for the Federal Labor Relations Council, increasing
the limitation on travel expenditures from $13,000 (the amount con-
tained in the budget estimates for 1971) to $25,000. These additional
requirements were not known at the time the 1972 budget estimates
were submitted.
The Committee recommends that as in the case of 1971, the limi-
tation for travel for the Federal Impasses Panel in the Federal Labor
Relations Council be increased from $13,000 (the amount contained
in the budget estimates for 1972) to $25,000. No additional funds are
required to be appropriated.
