reached on ~tXle call of the calendar,
asked,that it go over.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill
will be stated by title for the information
of the Senate.
The LEGISLATIVE CLERK. A lull (H. R.
11766) to provide for the establishment
of the Horseshoe Bend National Military
Park, in the State of Alabama.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection to the present consideration of
the bill?
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the bill.
Mr. PURTELL. Iv2r. President, I did
ask previously that the bill go over. The
reason is that we do not have any idea as
to the cost involved. However, if an ex-
planation is available, I shall be glad to
withdraw objection.
Mr. SPARKMAN. That question did
come up. Nobody can give an estimate
of the cost except the Department of the
Interior. The Department apparently
has not made up any estimate of cost.
However, I may say that only a small
tract of land, consisting of 500 acres, is
involved. Roads have already been built.
The only requirement in the bill is that
the Department of the Interior admin-
ister the park just as it does other parks.
It seems to me the cost could be easily
computed by the Department of the In-
terior. However, the Department at the
time of the hearings did not give any
estimate of cost.
I may say to the distinguished Senator
from Connecticut that the only point of
objection made by the Department of the
Interior was that it had not yet been de-
termined to the Department's satisfac-
tion that the battle which took place in
that region was one of national signifi-
cance. I believe, after the hearing was
over, the Department was satisfied it had
been historically established. I think
that objection was pretty well demolished
in the course of the hearings.
Mr. PURTELL. I suggest to the dis-
tinguished Senator from Alabama that it
tivould probably be better, in light of the
fact that there is a similar bill, as to
neither of which information as to cost
has been given, that they be called up
on motion.
Mr. FULBRIGIiT. Mr. President,
with regard to Calendar No. 2551, H. R.
11611, to provide for the establishment
of the Pea Ridge National Military Park,
in the State of Arkansas, which is a simi-
lar bill, I should like to say that the land
involved is to be donated. In fact, the
bill will not take effect unless the land
is donated free of any cost to the Gov-
ernment. The cost of administration
was estimated to be between $16,000 and
$20,000 a year. The bill contains the
words "as the Secretary may deem nec-
essary." The cost involved would be only
that which he feels would be necessary
in providing tributary roads or trails.
We do not know whether or not he would
deem them necessary. There is no way
for us to estimate in advance what the
cost might be. Tho Secretary would not
have to spend any particular amount.
I do not see how the Senator can reason-
ably expect to obtain an estimate when
there is, at present at least, no way to
determine what the Secretary will deem
to be. necessary. That will depend to
some extent on the use made of the park,
and whether or not it proves to be veI?y
popular. Of course, I think it will prove
to be popular. In any case, I should say
the cost will be nominal, because the
Federal Government will not have to
purchase the land.
I may say that the letter of disappro-
val was based on a false assumption.
The bill does not actually authorize or
direct the Secretary of the Interior to
purchase the land. It specifically pro-
vides that the land shall be transferred
free and clear of any expense to the Gov-
ernment.
I hope the Senator from Connecticut
will not insist on his abjection.
Mr. PURTELL. .The Senator from
Arkansas has given information which
the committee did not previously have,
and I therefore withdraw objection.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
Chair suggests that as of the moment,
because of the unanimous-consent re-
quest made by the Senator from Ala-
bama CMr. SPARKMANI the Senate should
proceed to the consideration of Calendar.
No. 2552, H. R. 11765. That bill should
be disposed of first.
Mr. PURTELL. I withdraw my objec-
tion to Calendar No. 2552, H. R. 11766.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on the third reading o4 the
bill.
The bill (H. R. 11766) was ordered
to a third reading, read the third time,
and passed.

Commission and its successors to acquire

The CHIEF CLERK, A bill (H. R.
12138) makjn~ appropriations for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, and for
other purposes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there
objection to the present consideration of
the bill?
There being no objection, the Senate
proceeded to consider the bill, which had
been reported from the Committee on
Appropriations with amendments.
Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Presi-
dent, Isuggest the absence of a quorum.
The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the
roll.
Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Presi-
dent, Iask unanimous consent that the
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without
abjection, it is so ordered.
Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Presi-
dent, Iyield to the Senator from Arizona
for an explanation of the bill.
Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. Pl?esident, the bill
as passed by the House provided for ap-
propl'iations of $1,555,588,925.
The amount of increase recommended.
by the Senate committee is $L6S,500,400.
The total of the bill as reported to the
Senate is $1,722,089,325.
The committee considered estimates
recommended by the BIIl'eau of the
Budget totaling $1,358,859,825, which
includes 3136,010,300 not considered by
the House.
On the face of the report, it appeals
that the recommended bill is in excess of
the budget estimate by $363,223,500.
However, 5357 million of this incl?case is
accounted for by the method of providing
funds for the Air Force construction pro-
gram. The budget estimate proposed a
direct appropl?iation of 3871 million and
a transfer of $357 million from Lhc Army
stock fund. The House made a direct
appropriation $1,228,000.000, and re-
scinded $357 million of the Army stack
fund. The Committee recommends the
Senate concur in the action of the House,
OP course, the end result is the same.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that the committee amendments he
considered and agreed to en bloc; that
the bill, as thus amended., be considered
as original text, for the purpose of
amendment; and that the right to make
points of order in connection therewith
not be considered as having been waived
by virtue of this agreement.
The PRESIDING OFFICER,. Is there
objection? Without objection, it is so
ordered.

ered and agreed to en bloc are as follows:

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill
is open to further amendment.
Mr. DOUGLAS. Mr. President, again
we have before us a supplemental ap-
propriation bill, in this case calling for
appropriations of $1,722,000,000 added
to the enormous appropriations we have
passed in the regular way.
I wish to say that for an administra-
tion which claims to be businesslike in
its conduct of affairs-just as we are
completing the last of the regular ap-
pi?opriation bills-for it now to request
the enactment of this supplemental ap-
propriation bill, calling for approxi-
mately $1,722,000,000 over and above
the appropriations we already have
made, to my mind is an indication of
very poor budgeting and very poor fi-
nancial procedure.
The administration claims credat for
economy, when it presents its budget at
the first of the year. But thereafter,
when no one is looking, the administra-
tion slips in the supplemental appro-
priation bills. This is only the first of
them; we know there will be a second
supplemental appropriation bill, anal
probably there will be a third supple-
mental appropriation bill. So, Mr. Pres-
ident, the initial figures the public re-
ceives do not bear a very accurate rela-
tionship to what finally happens.
When it assumed office, the adminis-
tration said it would be extremely busi-
nesslike, and would put the budget of
the country on a sound basis. But in
this case the administration violates one
of the first rules, and does so in a most
grievous manner, right off the bat.
So much for generalities.
Mr. SALTONSTALL. Mr. President,
will the Senator from Illinois yield an
that point?
Mr. DOUGLAS. Certainly.
Mr. SALTONSTALL. I shall not argue
the question with the Senator from
Illinois, except to say that this bill in-
volves military construction. At all
times it has been stated that the total
expenditures would be "X" dollars-$38
billion-plus and that figure included the
funds for military construction.
Appropriations for military construc-
tion have never, so far as I know, been
included- in the regular appropriation
bills; they have always been included in
a supplemental. bill, in order to make it
possible to consider and act on that
bill at the close of the session. That
tation on the cost of such a structure con-
tained in any oth8r act."

is the reason for the size of the appro-
priation.
Regarding the Army stock fund, I
would simply say that the Ap~ropria-
tions Committee unanimously, with the
approval of the Army's financial officer,
decided to return this money to the
't'reasury. I saY frankly that it has
been stated that it is no longer necessary
to keep the money in the Army stock
fund. Therefore. the money is being re-
turned to the Treasury, so a5 to keep
control in the Con>ress.
Therefore, what has been voted by the
committee, on the recommendation of
the executive department, is quite cus-
tomary, and. is not a new supplemental
appropriation.
Ml?. DOUGLAS. It is 4uite true that
during past administrations, this prac-
tice has been indulged in. But from the
campaign promises which were made in
1952, I thought that under the present
administration we were going to have a
great business reform. We were told we
were going to have an improvement in
budgetary procedures. But now we find
that the very same method is used-
which seems to indicate that administra-
tions may come and administrations
may ixo, but the bureaucracy goes on
forever.
Mr. THYE. Mr. President, will the
Senator from Illinois yield to me?
Mr. DOUGLAS. I yield.
Mr. THYE. Mr?. President, as a mem-
ber of the Appropriations Committee,
I wish to say to the Senator from Illinois,
who is my friend, that this is a cus-
tomary practice.
Mr. DOUGLAS, I recognize t.trat: but
I thought that under the present admin-
istration we were going to change the
old, unhappy ways.
Mr. THYE. I was trying to make the
RECORD clear, to show that that had been
done,
Furthermore, the $ureau of the
Eudget makes its recommendation &
months in-advance of the time when we
deliberate on these appropriations,
Thereafter, in the course of the consid-
eration of the appropriations, new fac-
tors and new questions become involved;
and therefore it is necessary to have the
supplemental appropriation bill.
Mr. DOUGLAS. The Bureau of the
Budget presents its figures 6 months be-
fore, and is perfectly well aware that fr
months later there will be a supplemen-
tal appropriation bill. The executive
practice very loose procedure.
Mr. President, at this time I should
like to speak on the item having to do
with the Animal Disease Laboratory, for
which an appropriation just short of X19
million is proposed. I think it is a very
good thing to make the appropriation.
But I wish to say that the Secretary of
A?riculture has erred most grievously in
regard to its location.
A Member of the House of Represent-
a?ives from the State of Illinois, Con-
l;ressman MACx, first raised the question
of whether the new Laboratory should or
should not be located at Beltsville, Md.
It was the intent of the Secretary of
Agriculture to locate it at Beltsville.
Congressman MACx argued cogently that
this should not be done.
The evidence ors the floor of the Aouse
of Representative> and the presentation
to the Senate committee-in which I had
some share~learIy showed that the An-
imal Research Laboratory should be lo-
cated in the Middle West, where, after
all, the hogs and the cattle are raised.
The Secretary c~f Agriculture appoint-
ed acommittee to go into the matter;
and it held a public hearing in St. Louis,
where testimony v?as taken about a num-
ber of localities in my State which are
admirably adapted for the location of
such a laborator!', and which had ap-
plied for lt.
Then the committee went on the road,
and carefully visited virtually every
State except Illinois; and then the Sec-
retary quickly announced that the labo-
ratory was to be :ocated at Ames, Iowa,
at the Iowa State College.
Antes is a very good agricultural col-
lege. IIut I think the Secretary of A..^,ri-
culturc should a: least trove paid my
St:it^ the counte~y of having it visited,
and I am driven L+o the conclusion that
he had in fact l~~cated the Laboratory
bcfar?e the committee ever went on its
tour. The Secre~ary is a graduate of
Iowa State College at Ames. The com-
mittee held its hearings on June 27, at
St. Lour. and hoc 9 days of visits in the
field. And then, about the 6th of July,
the Secretary matte his decision.
I think this is t~nother case similar to
the case of the Ai.' Force Academy. The
hopes of various localities were then
raised including a community in my
State. Inspection trips were made, and
the Air Force Academy was located
where, in all llrobf.bility, it has been orig-
inally decided to locate it, before any
field inspection wits undertaken, namely,
in Colorado.
Noa? the Secretary of Agriculture, de-
siring to honor his alma mater, locates
the laboratory at Ames. I have no com-
plaint against Ames. It is a fine college;
but the University of Illinois has an
equally good agrlcuitui?al college; and
there are other well qualified localities
in my State. We. feel that the Secre-
taryhas not played fair with us. If there
were any way of striking this appropria-
tion out of the bill, I would be tempted
to undertake Lo di so, but I shall not do
it because of reasons of sportvmanship.
I hope the Secretary of Agriculture will
mend his ways. [know that this is an
exaggerated hope, but-
While the lamp remalna to burn
T7te vilest sinner may return.
Mr. CURTIS. Mr. President, I wish
to speak very briefly in reference to hos-
pital facilities u?}ach are needed at the
Lincoln, Nebr., Air Force Base.
The House committee report contains
the following lan.;uage:
For over a pear a decision has been pend-
ing in the Bureau of the Budget regarding
the cunstntctfon of a hospital at the Lin-
coln Alr Force Base or as an elternallve the
conversion of an existing Veterans' Hospital
!n the Lincoln, Nebr., grog for Joint use by
the Atr Force and teterans. Hospital faclli-
tles arc badly needed for Alr .Force personnel
at this base. Yet the matter has been waft-
ing a Rrm decision for over a pear. Iasi year,
and again this year, the Committee was re-
quested to approve the construction of a hoa-
pltal at this arts on a tentative basis, pend-
Ji,,l~ ZG
tag a F1nai determination as to whether or not
the veterans' iac111ty would be converted to
iolnt use. Last year, the Committee elimi-
nated title Item with the following state-
ment:
"Funds for hospital facilities at the Lincoln
Air Force Base have been deleted pending a
decision regarding use of the existing vet-
erans' hospital near this base."
Again this year, the Committee Is elimi-
nating the hospital protect from the program
with reluctance but Sn the hope that such
action will focus attention on the need for an
early decision 1n ttais matter. If ofSclals in
the respectlce agencies working on this prob-
lem cannot reach a declsfon, then higher att-
thorlty, probably the White House, should
immediately step in and resolve the question.
In the Senate committee's report there
is to be found the following brief para-
graph, concur?r?ing with the position of
the House committee:
L7NCOLN, N#BR., FiOSPTi'AL
The committee agrees with the House
committee that a declsfon should be
reached as soon as possible regarding the
construction of a hospital at the Lincoln Air
Force B:tse at Lincoln, Nebr. Hospital fa-
cilities are undoubtedly badly needed for
the Air Force personnel at this base. There-
fore, the committee urges that a final de-
terrotaatlon be made as to whether there
should be conversion of the existing veterans'
hospital at Lincoln. Nebr., so that the neces-
sary action nutny be taken immediately.
I wish to say to the Senate that this
question has been submitted to the White
House. It was submitted many months
ago. Mr. Sherman Adams and other
high-ranking individuals in the White
House were present. Mr. Hughes, Di-
rector of the Bureau of the Budget, was
present. The Veterans' Administration
and the Air Force were represented. The
Governor of Nebraska a'as present. I
believe the entire Nebraska delegation
in Congress, in both the House and Sen-
ate, were present and representatives of
several veterans' organizations were also
present. The question was presented
many months ago. I do not know what
the decision is. I have pressed fora de-
cision several times.
Last year the Senate inserted an
amendment on the floor of the Senate
providing for hospital facilities at the
Air Fol?ce base. The amendment was
not maintained in conference. My
point in making this statement is that
certainly an improvement of an Air
Force base is not a local public works
project. Certainly a Senator represent-
ing in part a State in which an Air Base
is located should not urge such construc-
tion as a matter of local improvement in
his State, Airmen from all over the
United States are trained at the various
bases. Airmen from all the States may
perhaps be located at the Strategic Air
Command Base at Lincoln, Nebr.
There are no hospital facilities at the
Lincoln Air Force Base, As of a year
ago, the local Red Cross had gone over, its
budget by more than 600 percent, in tak-
ing care of hardship cases.
I do not contend that this question is
sololy a responsibility of the Senator
from Nebraska. For 2 years the Con-
gress has asked the Air Force to carry
on an important part of our strategic
air command without hospital facilities
or proper medical facilities.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -SENATE
SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS,
1957
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
With respect to the statement that a
decision is being awaited as to whether
or not to transfer a veterans' hospital, it
is well known that the veterans' hospital
will not be transferred. The Chairman
of the Veterans' Affairs Committee of the
House, Hon. OLIN TEAGUEI, has stated
publicly that no veterans' hospitals will
be abandoned or discontinued.
Congress has appropriated money to
continue the Lincoln Veterans' Hospital
for the next year. It has a high occu-
pancy rate. The Lincoln Veterans' Hos-
pital is being improved for future serv-
ice to veterans. There seems to be no
question in the mind of anyone as to
whether or not the veterans' hospital at
Lincoln, Nebr., will be abandoned by the
Veterans' Administration. I can _ find
no one who says that it is planned to
abandon it.
The fact remains that we have an air-
base without a hospital. I think it is
wrong. I think a hospital may be
needed there very badly in case of an
emergency.
I have presented the question as well
as I could. I do not consider that an
airbase belongs to my State. An air-
base is a part of the Air Force of the
entire United States. I believe that a
very unwise decision is being made in
not providing adequate hospital facilities
for the men who are to be stationed
there.
Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. President, it is my
sincere hope that the decision referred
to by the House and Senate committees
will- be promptly made, so at the next
session of Congress we can provide the
hospital facilities which are undoubtedly
needed at the Lincoln Airbase.
Mr. CURTIS. I thank the distin-
guished chairman. I feel that this
problem, being an Air Force problem, is
a problem for all oP us. I doubt if any
more boys from Nebraska will be trained
there than from any other State.
Mr. HAYDEN. I will say to the Sena-
tor that decision has not been made.
SOCIAL SECURITY AMENDMENTS OF
1956
The PRESIDING OFFICER, The
hour oP 11:30 having arrived, the morn-
ing hour is concluded, and the Chair
lays before the Senate the unfinished
business, which will be stated by title for
the information of the Senate.
The CHIEF CLERK. A bill (H. R. 7225}
to amend title II of the Social Security
Act to provide disability-insurance bene-
fits for certain disabled individuals who
have attained age 50, to reduce to age
62 the age on the basis of which bene-
fits are payable to certain women, to
provide for continuation of child's in-
surance benefits for children who are
disabled before attaining age 18, to ex-
tend coverage, and for other purposes.
Mr. LONG. Mr. President, I modify
my amendment, which is at the desk,
and is the pending question on the so-
cial security bill, by making a number
of technical corrections, and also one
substantive correction ol? change.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Tho
modifications will be made.
out objection, the unfinished business,
the social security bill, will be temporar-
ily laid aside, and the Senate will resume
the consideration of the supplemental
appropriation bill.
The Senate resumed the consideration
of the bill (H. R. 12138) making supple-
mental appropriations for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1957, and for other pur-
poses.
Mr. CURTIS. If the Senator from
Arizona will yield further, I should like
to state that after the question of trans-
ferring the veterans' hospital was raised,
a hearing was held over a year ago be-
fore the Hon. CeRL VINSON, chairman of
the Committee of the House Committee
on Armed .Services, and that proposal
was turned down by the chairman, and
he incorpol?ated the hospital facilities
for the Air Force at Lincoln, Nebr., in
the authorization bill.
Mr.HAYDEN. That is correct.
Mr. CURTIS. The bill passed the
Senate, as well. It was approved by the
President. All of that was done after
the proposed transfer was presented. I
again wish to state that the distin-
guished chairman has been very kind
indeed, and I appreciate it.
Ml?, HICKENLOOPER. Mr. Presi-
dent, will the Senator from Arizona
yield?
Ml?. HAYDEN. I yield.
Mr. HICKENLOOPER. I wish to ex-
press my appreciation for the favorable
consideration by the committee of the
appropriation for the animal disease
laboratory facilities, which are to be lo-
cated near the State college in my home
State. I wish to call attention to the
fact that we of Iowa believe, as na doubt,
other Senators believe of their States,
that Iowa affords an ideal locatiart far the
institution. The oldest veterinary school
in the United States is located at our
State college.. No veterinary school any-
where is superior to it. OP course, we
have a top agricultural college. It has
done a great deal of experimental work
in animal diseases over a great many
years. The land for the institution will
be furnished by the State, as is noted
in the report.
I certainly wish to express my per-
sonai appreciation and that of all citi-
zens of Iowa-to the chairman of the com-
mittee.
Mr. HAYDEN. I thank the Senator.
The PRESIDING OFFICEIL. The
bill is o-pen to further amendment.
Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. President, on be-
half of the committee I send to the desk
an amendment and ask that it be stated.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
amendment will be stated.
The CHIEF CLERK. On page 2, after
line 11, it is proposed to insert:
For an additional amount for "Salaries and
expenses," for "plant anal animal disease and
pest control", ~2,b00,000 to be apportioned
for use pursuant to section 3679 of the re-
vised statutes, as amended, for the control
of outbreaks oP insects and plant diseases
under the joint resolution approved May 9,
1938 (7 U. S. C. 148-148e), and the act of
11637,
August 13, 1954 (7 U. S. C. 148), to the ex-
tent necessary to meet emergency condi-
tions.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment offered by the Senator from
Arizona.
Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. President, the
amendment was not included in the bill
as reported .by the committee, because
at the time the bill was reported the
President had not submitted a budget
estimate for the item. The budget esti-
mate is now on the way to the Senate.
Far that reason I believe it is entirely in
order to include the item in the bill.
If for any reason the budget estimate
should fail to arrive it could be elimi-
nated in conference.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment offered by the Senator from
Arizona.
Mr. HOLLAND. Mr. President, I wish
to say that the Senate Appropriations
Committee an Saturday approved the in-
clusion of the amendment on the floor,
provided the supplemental budget esti-
mate had been approved by that time.
It has been approved, and it is now on the
way to the Senate. We are sa advised
by bath the White House and the Bureau
of the Budget. We have a copy of the
estimate and also of the justification.
I exhibited to the committee on Sat-
urday aletter from the Honorable LeRoy
Collins, Governor of the State of Florida,
assuring the committee and Congress of
the 50-50 participation by the State of
Florida in this whole effort.
I wish to read into the RECORD three
of the paragraphs from the Governor's
letter, which- is dated July 9, 1956. The
first is this:
I wish to reiterate statements I have made
to you verbally regarding the participation
of the State in these eHarts. Florida ex-
pects to bear one-half of the cost, and this
commitment has been made by me as Gov-
ernor, by our State Budget Commission, and
informally by representative members of
both houses of our State legislature.
I may say that the State legislature
has been studying the question and is
merely awaiting advice on the amount
of the Federal appropriations. The
Governor will make the necessary recom-
mendation to the legislature, and I am
sure the legislature will. promptly -fol-
low the recommendation. It will be on
an equal matching basis with the Fed-
el?al Government for the total amount of
the appropriation for this important
Mediterranean fruitfly-eradication pro-
gram.
The next quotation I wish to read from
the Governor's letter is this:
I am planning to convene the legislature
1n a special session on July 23, next, and
I will include in the call a recommenda-
tion for an appropriation which will be ade-
quate to match all Federal funds to take
care of the cost of the program for the re-
mainder of the current fiscal year, which
extends to July 1, 1967
The third quotation from the letter
which I wish to read is this:
You are, oP course, fully authorized to con-
vey the information expressed herein to your

congressional colleagues and to representa-
tives of the USDA there.
The need for inclusion of the appro-
priation in this bill is obvious. Until th?
next regular session o1_the State legis-
lature, following the adjauraament of the
special session to be held next week, it Is
necessary that adequate State funds be
available to meet the Federal aplaa?opa?ia-
tion, both of them together having been
detea?mined to be adequate to cover the
period of time involved, as approved by
the scientists of the Federal Government
and of the State government.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question i on agreeing to the amend-
ment offered by the Senator from Arizona
LMI'. HAYDENI.
Mr. BRH}GES. As ranking minority
member of the committee I should like
to say that tkle amendment, which has
been so ably explained by the distin-
guished Senator from Florida, 1s Yully
justified. Inasmuch as we are assul?ed
that a budget recommendation will be
forthcoming, I am hopeful that the
amendment will be agreed to.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment offered by the Senator from Ari-
zona IMr. HAYDENI.
The amendment was agreed to.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. T2ae
bill is open to further amendment.
Mr. JOHNSTON of South Carolina.
Mr. President, I send an amendment
to the desk and ask it that be stated,
The CHIEF CLERIC. On page 19, after
line 10, it is proposed to insert a new
pal?agraph, as follows:
REPAIR, IMPROVEMENT, AMD EHLr1PM ENT OF FFD-
F.RALLY OWNED HIIILDLN64 OtJ25lDE TlxL DI3-
TRLCT OF COLIIMHIA
For an addltfonal amount for "Repair, im-
provement, and equipment of federally
owned buildings outside the District of Co-
lumbia," 1650,000, to remain available unt/l
expended.
Mr. JOHNSTON of South Carolina.
I -wish to explain the amendment very
briefly. The pw-pose of the amend-
ment is to install an elevator in a Gov-
ernment building at Anderson, S. C., in
my native county. The building is two
and a half stories high and does not
have an elevator. Judges have refused
to hold court in the building for several
sessions, due to the fact that, as they
are old, they cannot walk up and down
the steep steps in the building. The ses-
sions of the court which would normally
be held in the building have been trans-
ferred to either Greenville or Spartan-
burg, S. C., my home town, 65 mfles
away. In doing so a great deal of ex-
pense is incurred. I believe the expense,
in transferring sessions of the court to
other cities, mould be saved if the court
could sit at Anderson for the purpose of
dying cases which arise in that locality.
Mr. DOUGLAS. Mr. President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. JOHNSTON of South Carolina.
I yield.
Mr. DOUGLAS. Does the Senator
mean to say that the Federal judges in
the District are so infirm that they can-
not walk up one and one-half flights of
stairs?
Mr. JOHNST'ON of South Carolina.
It is true that :he judges are incapaci-
tated to the extent of being unable to go
up and down steep stairs. I understand
doctors have ac.vised Lhem not to clifnb
Sta1r5.
Mr. DOUGL,t!.S. Why do we not get
new judges?
Ma?. JOHNSTON of South Carolina.
I prefer not do f.nswcr that question.
Mr. DOUGL,liS. The Senator does
not believe than would be a good plan.
Would it cost as much to get neu' judges
as to install an elevator in the building?
iVir. JOHNST'ON of South Carolina.
The need for the elevator exists in any
event. It is an old building. If it were
anew building, an elevator would have
been installed in it; but tkais is an old
building, and dues not have an elevator.
Mr. HAYDEN. Mr. President, the
committee will accept the amendment
and take 1t to conference.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on agreeing to the amend-
ment offered by the Senator from South
Carolina [Mr. voxvsxoNl.
The amendment was agreed to.
T'he PR)JSIDI:NG OFFICER. The bill
is open to further amendment. If there
be no further amendment to be pro-
posed, the question Ls on the engross-
ment of the an endments and the third
reading of the 11111.
The amendments were ordered to be
engrossed fora third reading, and the
bill to be read a third time.
The bill tH. R. 12138! was read the
third lime, and passed.
i~ir. HAYDEN. Mr. President, I move
that the Senate insist upon its amend-
ments, request a conference thereon
with the House of Representatives, and
that the Chair appoint the conferees an
the part of the Senate.
The motion Nos agreed to; and the
