NARRATIVE SUMMARY OF THE BILL
The Supplemental Appropriation Bill for Fiscal Year 1973 passed
the House of Representatives Wednesday, October 11, 1972, and was
reported by the Committee on Appropriations to the Senate the
following day, October 12, 1972.
In the House of Representatives, budget estimates of new obliga-
tional authority totalling $3,573,953,325 were considered, and new
obligational authority in the amount of $3,565,048,825 was approved.
Budget estimates submitted to the Senate in Senate Document
numbered 92-91 dated October 10, 1972, contained additional budget
requests in the amount of $1,382,214,000.
The appropriation bill reported to the Senate recommends new
obligational authority in the amount of $5,204,690,610, which is an
increase of $1,639,641,785 over the amount recommended in the House
bill, and an increase of $188,150,000 over the budget estimates con-
sidered by the Senate Committee.
Some of the larger increases recommended by the Senate Committee
over the amounts contained in the House bill are:
Chapter IV:
Labor-Health, Education, and Welfare: Mostly Higher Edu-
cation Programs (not considered by House) 1,
314,
379,
000
Chapter V:
Legislative: Construction for the Senate (not considered by
House)
53,
610,

Chater VII:
State, Justice, Commerce, Judiciary: Maritime Adminis-
tration (not considered by House)
175,
000,
000
Chapter VIII:
Department of Transportation and related agencies ($68.4
million of increase was not considered by House)
73,
750,
000
In addition to recommending supplemental appropriations for the
balance of fiscal year 1973, the Senate Committee considered appro-
priations for several programs and activities which normally would
have been included in regular annual appropriation bills but which
were omitted from these bills due to lack of authorization at the time.
Among the items in this category are:
Manpower training programs in the Department of Labor;
Social and Rehabilitation Service and the Office of Child
Development, both of which are in the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare;
The Domestic Programs of Action;
The Office of Economic Opportunity;
The Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety programs of the Depart-
ment of Transportation;
The American Revolution Bicentennial Commission;
And the appropriations for Higher Education and Library
Resources.
The budget estimates which were considered in connection with this
bill may be found in House Documents numbered 92-216, 92-267,
92-330, 92-352, 92-368, and 92-369, and in Senate Documents
numbered 92-79, and 92-91.

The committee recommends an appropriation of $16,500,000 for
Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations, the same as the supple-
mental budget estimate and as allowed by the House. This appro-
priation is to be utilized for emergency measures for runoff retardation
and soil erosion prevention, as provided by section 216 of the Flood
Control Act of 1950 (33 U.S.C. 701b-1), in areas damaged by natural
disasters in several States earlier this calendar year. Of this amount,
$13,500,000 will be utilized by the Soil Conservation Service and
$3,000,000 by the Forest Service, as authorized and provided for in
the above cited legislation.
The committee concurs with the recommendation contained in the
House report and suggests that these emergency measures be carried
out, to every extent possible, without disrupting or curtailing Water-
shed and Flood Prevention programs throughout the country.

TITLE I?AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SCIENCE AND EDUCATION-AGRICULTURAL RESEARCII SERVICE
The Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of $300,-
'000 to initiate a research program to develop a new variety of wheat
which would reduce soil erosion in the Pacific Northwest area of the
United States. Testimony presented to the Committee indicated that
present varieties of wheat are not satisfactory and, in fact, result in
considerable soil erosion, much of which could be prevented with the
development of a new variety which would be more adaptable to the
environment, geography, and growing conditions in this area.
The Committee also recommends a supplemental appropriation of
$18,000 to the Agricultural Research Service to be utilized to surface
that portion of a public street in Manhattan, Kansas, which fronts the
Grain Marketing Research Center.
The Committee also recommends an appropriation of $70,000 for
planning a Soil and Water Conservation Research Laboratory for the
Delmarva Peninsula area.
TITLE II?RURAL DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,250,000 for
'Salaries and Expenses for the Farmers Home Administration. These
funds are to be utilized by the Farmers Home Administration for wide-
scale planning of programs authorized by the recently enacted Rural
Development Act.
TITLE III?ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
NATIONAL STUDY COMMISSION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $200,000 for the
National Study Commission which is provided for by Section 315 of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972. This
legislation has been approved by both the Senate and the House and is
now awaiting further consideration by the President. The Committee
recommends that these funds be appropriated at this time so that the
Commission may be established and undertake the legislatively man-
dated studies without delay. This recommended appropriation is con-
tingent upon Presidential approval of the pending bill.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $250,000,000 for
Urban Renewal Programs, which is the same as the budget estimate
and the House allowance. These funds are to be used to carry out
conventional urban renewal programs in the area devastated by Hur-
ricane Agnes.
The original budget request for this program for fiscal year 1973
was $1,000,000,000, and, needless to say, did not anticipate the need
for disaster assistance. In the regular appropriation bill, approved
August 14, 1972, the Congress provided $1,200,000,000, and in the
Conference Report thereon, House Report 92-1261, dated July 22,
1972, included the following language:
The committee of conference intends for the funds provided
in the bill for urban renewal to be used to provide for this pro-
gram as described in the budget request. The Department is
directed to administratively expedite and process the seven-
state Agnes flood area urban renewal applications. A supple-
mental budget request should be developed to replenish the
funds necessary to provide for both the ongoing and emer-
gency programs.
The sum recommended by the Committee, when added to the
$200,000,000 over the budget estimate provided in the regular bill,
will make a total of $450,000,000 available to assist the localities
damaged as a result of Hurricane Agnes.
The Urban Renewal Program was brought into being by the Hous-
ing Act of 1949, and at that time, the program's main thrust was
directed towards the clearance of slum areas. At the present time, the
program combines and integrates a broad array of activities in order
that slum areas may be prepared for new uses meeting national and
local economic and social objectives.
The conventional Urban Renewal Program presently has a fivefold
purpose, namely:
1. The preservation and restoration of the urban environment
through the elimination of slums, blight, and pollution causing
conditions;
2. The preservation of our nation's existing low- and moderate-
income housing supply through rehabilitation;
3. The prevention of the spread of slums and blight in marginal
neighborhoods;

4. Provision Of maximum opportunity for private enterprise to
redevelop areas on a planned and protected basis; and
5. Assurance that prior to demolition or removal of residential
structures in an urban renewal project, standard housing units for
occupancy by low- and moderate-income families are provided
for those families being displaced.

is $13,160,000 under the House allowance, and $13,160,000 above the
budget estimate.
A formal estimate for five C-130 ski-equipped planes was requested
in the budget of the Department of Defense. This request was denied
by both the House and the Senate when the Department of Defense
budget was considered earlier this session. In denying these funds, both
the House and Senate Department of Defense Appropriations Sub-
committees indicated that funding for these planes should be provided
in the budget of the National Science Foundation. Thus, on the basis
of an informal request from the Director of the Office of Management
and Budget, the Committee has considered this an estimate of the
National Science Foundation and has allowed funding for two of the
five planes requested.

MINORITY VIEWS OF SENATOR PROXMIRE
In Chapter II of the bill, the Committee has concurred with the
House and included appropriations of new obligational authority for
the Urban Renewal Grant Programs in the amount of $250,000,000,
and for the National Science Foundation for the purchase of two
C-130 ski-equipped aircraft, the sum of $13,160,000 has been made
available. In my opinion, after taking testimony on these two items,
I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that neither of these items
warrants inclusion in a supplemental appropriation bill.
First of all, adequate jutification was not presented to the Subcom-
mittee which took the testimony. And, secondly, I feel that supple-
mental appropriation bills should include funding for programs Which
are essential to meet urgent, immediate, and/or emergency needs. It
is needless to say, the aforementioned items fail on both counts.
URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM
The funds for the Urban Renewal Program were justified by Sec-
retary Romney on the grounds that they were necessary to assist the
area devastated by Hurricane Agenes this past June. But, the immedi-
ate and emergency needs of this area have already been taken care of
by a spate of Federal funds. Funds totaling $153 million have been
furnished by HUD out of the President's Disaster Relief Fund to
provide temporary housing, trailers, motel rents and urgent repair
and rehabilitation of damaged structures. In addition, the Small
Business Administration was granted a supplemental appropriation
in August totaling $1.3 billion to provide relief for the victims of
Agnes, as well as the disaster that occurred in Rapid City, South
Dakota. The Federal Highway Administrator plans to use $109 mil-
lion for road repair and rehabilitation. The Corps of Engineers plans
obligations in the millions in the area hit by Agnes, and the Depart-
ment of Health, Education, and Welfare will expend a total of $58
mill ion in this same area.
All of this assistance was necessary and I believe an excellent job
has been done in the circumstances to alleviate the hardships and suf-
fering of the individuals who reside in the devastated areas. Nonethe-
less, I cannot see how an urban renewal program can be justified as
an emergency. I believe that the funds for this program should be
provided in the regular appropriation bill.
Secretary Romney made it clear in testimony he gave the Committee
that the $250 million requested would be used for a conventional urban
renewal program. Before these funds can be used in any sensible way,
the necessary planning by the communities affected must be completed
and approved by HUD. This will take considerable time, and it will
be months or years before the funds made available in this supple-
mental can be disbursed.

In this connection, Secretary Romney told the Subcommittee that
$2 million of Planning Grants have already been expended out of
available funds to the affected communities, and that this planning
will take from two to six months to complete?in some cases longer.
A recent study by the Douglas Commission on housing and urban re-
newal showed that the "survey and planning" stage of an urban
renewal project took 544 days to complete on the average; that the
first round of passing on loans and grants took on the average 706
days; and that the final stage of loans and grants took 377 days. A
table extracted from the Douglas Commission report, which indicates
the amount of time involved in processing urban renewal applications
appears below:

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
There was even less justification submitted to the Committee for
the. five C-130 aircraft requested by the National Science Foundation.
This request could have been denied on technical grounds because
there was not a formal budget estimate before the Committee (initial
budget estimate was in Department of Defense budget and was denied
by the Congress), and authorizing legislation has not been processed
through the appropriate legislative Committees.
Putting technicalities aside, the NSF did not make a case for these
planes when testimony was given to the Committee. Most of the ques-
tions posed by the Committee had to be answered for the record. These
responses were given to the Committee staff two days later, but not in
sufficient time prior to markup to permit thorough scrutiny by
Members.
In any event, I feel that the funds requested by the NSF should
be denied for the following reasons:
1. The NSF did not adequately demonstrate the need for any new
aircraft. Witnesses asserted that five new planes were needed for the
Antarctic program, but virtually no facts were provided during the
hearing to support the assertion.
2. The facts show that NSF now operates three C-130 aircraft in
the Antarctic program. This compares with the one or two very small
twin engine aircraft which NSF officials said the Soviet Union oper-
ates in its Antarctic program. According to NSF, the level of the
Russian scientific program is comparable to that of the United States.
If the Russians can conduct a comparable program with one or two
very small twin-engine aircraft, why do we have to increase the exist-
ing C-130 fleet with five or even four new ones?
3. NSF officials asserted that two of the three existing C-130s have
logged 15,000 hours each, 5,000 more than the normal design life of the
planes. They say the two older planes need to be retired because they
are safety hazards. Information I obtained from the FAA and the Air
Force contradict the NSF argument. According to FAA, the C-130
air frame has an indefinite life expectancy. Structural tests performed
under FAA sanction determined that as long as the aircraft is prop-
erly handled and maintained, the air frame can last indefinitely. The
Air Force reported to me that although they have specified a design
life of 10,000 hours for the C-130, that there has so far been no trouble
with the C-130 air frame and that its actual life expectancy may ex-
tend far beyond the design life. In addition, it is axiomatic that any
aircraft can be repaired or rebuilt and no showing was made by the
NSF that the costs of rebuilding a worn out C-130 would be so high
that it would be more economical to purchase a new one.
4. NSF at the hearing had no direct knowledge to explain the costs
of the proposed new aircraft. The facts show that C-130s used in the
Antarctic program were purchased in 1960 for $2.7 million each, and
one C-130 was purchased in 1969 for under $3.5 million. The price
tag of $6.3 million each for the proposed new aircraft seems quite
high. This figure, along with the alleged need for new aircraft have
simply not been backed up with hard information.

Committee recommendation 118, 000
The committee recommends an appropriation of $118,000 together
with language permitting the use of these funds to assist the Lumrai
Tribe of Indians in the construction of a fish hatchery. These funds
will supplement $390,000 contributed by the Office of Economic
Opportunity for the hatchery project. Construction costs have ex-
ceeded original estimates because of the need for winter construction
to meet commitments for accepting delivery of 4 million fish eggs in
early 1972. Although the hatchery is now operational, the additional
funds are needed to complete the original plan.

incurred in the land claims effort. The sproposed language would
give regional corporations organized pursuant to the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act the discretion to provide such assistance
from Fiscal 1972 and 1973 Fund advances. The regional corporations
would be authorized to determine the amounts, terms and conditions
of such assistance.

The committee recommends an appropriation of $350,000 as an addi-
tion to both the budget estimate and the House allowance.
As a result of a fire last month that destroyed the McKinley Na-
tional Park hotel facility, the committee recommends $250,000 to pro-
vide temporary visitor use facilities and 8100,000 for planning a new
facility, including a study of alternate sites. These funds are proposed
in this bill because of the time problem created by a short construction
season in Alaska and to meet the needs of a rapidly increasing park
visitation.

1 Public Law 92-369 provided a Fscal year 1973 appropriation of $1,500,000 directly to
the Kennedy Center for payment of Fscal year 1972 expenses.
The committee recommends an appropriation of $2,000,000, the
same as the House allowance and $400,000 below the budget estimate.
The funds will provide for a National Park Service assumption of
operations and maintenance of the nonperforming:: arts functions at
the Kennedy Center in Fiscal 1973, as authorized in Public Law 92?
:313. The Park Service and the Center's Board of Trustees have signed
a working agreement, and the committee heard testimony from the
Park Service that the Center will be responsible for somewhat less
than one-fourth, or $586,000, as the performing arts portion of a total
estimated operating budget of $2,986,000. The committee has pro-
posed language that will enable the Park Service to reimburse the
Center for actual operations and maintenance expenses, not exceed-
ing $630,000, incurred for the nonperforming arts functions in the
first lour months of the fiscal year prior to Park Service assumption
of those activities.

The committee recognizes the difficulty in accurately estimating costs
of a new activity. In view of the reduced expenditures provided for the
first one-third of the fiscal year, the committee concurs with the House
reduction. The committee believes the recommended amount will be
sufficient to meet first-year needs for this activity and expects the Park
Service to be in a position next year to reduce further its share of ex-
penditures at the Kennedy Center on the basis of actual experience in
operations andmaintenance management.

safety program. These funds, together with those recommended by
the committee for the Office of the Secretary, should help reduce an
unacceptable backlog that has developed because of a high rate of
appeals from penalty assessments under the Federal Coal Mine Health
and Safety Act of 1969.
The committee is concerned at the large number of appeals and
lengthy delays in processing them and expects the additional funds
provided in this bill will substantially alleviate the problem. However,
the Department should continue to give high priority to streamlining
its procedures and implementing improvements recommended by the
General Accounting Office in an effort to reduce the overall workload
and administer the Act more effectively.

The committee recommends an appropriation of $3,356,000, one-
half the budget estimate, for planning activities and state grants con-
nected with staging the nation's bicentennial observances. This fund-
ing would be contingent on enactment of the commission's Fiscal 1973
authorization, differing versions of which have passed the Senate and
the House. The committee elected to recommend the lesser appropria-
tion authorized in the House-passed bill. This authorization would
extend only to February 15, 1973, pending separate investigations of
the commission's activities by a Congressional committee and the
General Accounting Office.
In view of recent controversy surrounding the commission's policies
and procedures, the committee agrees with the intent of the House-
passed bill that Congress should have the benefit of the two inquiries
before considering further authorizations and appropriations for the
commission. The committee believes that the appropriation recom-
mended will be sufficient to permit the commission to advance its
plans and programs on a timely basis.

The committee recommends $26,602,000, the same as the budget
request and House allowance, for fiscal year 1973 salaries and expenses
relating to the Economic Opportunity Act authorized manpower
programs. This portion of the appropriation request was not con-
sidered in the regular bill due to lack of authorization at the time of
original fiscal year 1973 action. The Economic Opportunity Act
extension was signed into law on September 19, 1972.
This amount, an increase of $942,000 over last year's comparable
appropriation, provides funds to support 1,251 Federal positions, the
same number as last fiscal year, for activities including training pro-
gram development and administration, and executive direction and
supervision of the Economic Opportunity Act manpower programs.
The increase relates entirely to so-called mandatory items such as
within grade salary increases.
The recommended funds, when combined with the $64,693,000
already approved by the committee and the Senate in II.R. 16654,
the regular Labor-HEW appropriation bill, for salaries and expenses
under the Manpower Development and Training Act, would constitute
the total FY 1973 Manpower Administration salaries and expenses
appropriation of $91,295,000, including $26,989,000 to be transferred
from Unemployment Trust Funds.

The committee concurs with the House recommendation of

$53,145,000 over the FY 1972 amount, to finance manpower programs
authorized under the Economic Opportunity Act, as amended. This
portion of the total Manpower Training Service appropriation request
was also deferred from consideration in the regular bill pending enact-
ment of the authorization, which was signed into law on September 19,
1972 (Public Law 92-424).
The requested- appropriation under the Economic Opportunity Act,
transmitted in the January budget (II. Doc. 92-216) and the pay
costs increase amendments (H. Doc. 92-267) was $875,862,000. That
request was amended and revised in mid-June (S. Doc. 92-79) to
$829,862,000, a decrease of $46,000,000. This reduced funding level
was requested to offset increases in the Work Incentive program. This
appropriation provides funds for Public Sector On-the-Job Training,

Job Corps, Neighborhood Youth Corps In-School Work Support,
Out-of-School Work Support, Operation Mainstream, and the Con-
centrated Employment Program.
When this recommended amount is included with the $719,554,000
contained in the regular bill under the Manpower Development and
Training Act, the total Manpower Training Services appropriation is
$1,549,416,000, a decrease of $132,500,000 below the comparable 1972
appropriation. Most of this decrease is accounted for by the Neighbor-
hood Youth Corps Summer job program estimate. For the past several
years, a supplemental appropriation for that program has been enacted
in the Spring when summer job needs can be more accurately deter-
mined, and the committee anticipates that A request will be
transmitted early in the new calendar year.
PILOT COMPREHENSIVE MANPOWER PROGRAMS
The committee also concurs in the House Appropriation Committee
Report regarding pilot Comprehensive Manpower Programs. This
committee is likewise deeply interested in the development of pilot
Comprehensive Manpower Programs involving bloc grants to local
sponsors for several categorical programs rather than a separate grant
for each program, which is the current practice. The committee will
expect the Secretary of Labor to revise the operating budget with the
goal in mind of reducing or eliminating categorical distinctions in
order to provide flexible bloc grants to such pilot program sponsors.
OPPORTUNITIES INDUSTRIAL CENTERS, INC. (OIC)
The committee has watched with considerable interest the progress
made through the efforts of the Opportunities Industrial Centers,
Inc. It recognizes the large number of potential clients which OIC has
not yet reached through this project and is impressed with its expan-
sion to 100 locations. The committee therefore recommends that the
Department devote the maximum feasible amount of funds to main-
tain and to continue this worthwhile effort out of the funds appro-
priated under the Manpower Development and Training Act.

This is in addition to $420,782,000 included in the regular 1973
appropriation bill for this activity. The following excerpt from the
House Committee Report fully explains the necessity for this addi-
tional authorization:
"Several factors, combined, have resulted in a very serious shortage
of funds for the administration of the States' unemployment insurance
programs. First, the budget was based on the assumption that the

Approved For Release 2001/08/272CIA-RDP79-00498A000100150066-2
rate of insured unemployment would be substantially reduced in
fiscal year 1973 to an average of 2% percent. It now appears quite
certain that it will average over 3 percent.
"The budget, and the House and Senate bills, assumed a quite opti-
mistic savings of $13,600,000 due to increased productivity. Then the
budget was amended to reduce it an additional $20,000,000 due to
assumed savings under the Talmadge amendments to the Work
Incentives Program. It is very doubtful, to put it mildly, that such
savings will materialize as early as the current fiscal year.
"Other factors have also had an impact. The Supreme Court "Java"
decision is resulting in increased costs in 1973 amounting to several
million dollars, and disasters such as the tropical storm Agnes floods
have added more millions of expenses.
"Any one of these might have been absorbed without great damage
to the Unemployment Insurance Service, but the combination of all
of them has created an intolerable situation. The Committee knows
that a request for supplemental funds is under consideration in the
Executive Branch, although it was only after considerable prodding
that even this fact was determined. The Committee was unable to
ascertain why a supplemental request has not been sent to Congress.
There is no doubt regarding the need, and when insufficient funds are
available, the eligible unemployed suffer from delays in making pay-
ments, and the trust fund suffers from the almost inevitable increase in
payments to ineligibles due to lack of personnel to thoroughly check
applications and to keep an adequate check on the unemployment
compensation rolls. Even with the additional $40,000,000 recom-
mended in the bill, the Unemployment Insurance Service will have a
tight budget."

States, $42.8 million for special project grants and contracts and $2.2
million for direct operations support.
It is estimated that over 63,000 treatment slots can be supported
this year, using resources provided under the revised budget. Based
on an expected treatment period of 9 to 10 months, it is estimated
that nearly 108,000 patients per year can be treated by the funded
programs once they are fully operational. The committee is advised
these estimates are more than double the actual experience in FY 1972.

the program was funded in May 1970, and is now under construction.
Phase II should be started as soon as possible so that it will be com-
pleted one year after the completion of Phase I?thereby allowing the
larger class obligated under Phase I to be taught second-year and
subsequent years' subjects. The proposed amendment was denied,
but without prejudice, and the Committee urges and strongly recom-
mends that the Department include sufficient funds for Phase II in
the 1974 budget.
EDUCATION DIVISION
GENERAL STATEMENT
The President submitted a $1.2 billion supplemental request to the
Congress on October 10 to carry out portions of the Education Amend-
ments of 1972 for which he felt funds are urgently needed. The Ad-
ministration indicated that estimates for items not contained in the
October 10 transmittal would be requested in a January supplemental.
The items deferred consist mainly of student assistance programs where
funds are normally allocated in the second half of the fiscal year for
use during the following academic year In the opinion of the Ad-
ministration appropriations for these programs are .n.ot needed at this
time.
The committee recommendation concurs in this basic approach and
does not exceed the $1.2 billion estimate requested by the President.
The committee has, however, included funds for some new programs?
Indian Education and Veterans cost-of-instruction payments?as well
as increased estimates for on-going programs. These increases have been
offset by a decrease in the $500 million request for Emergency School
Assistance where the lateness of the Administration's request preclude
effective spending of the total amount this year.
Although the committee has concurred in the basic approach pro-
posed by the Administration, it expects the President to act expedi-
tiously in January in submitting his estimates on the remaining pro-
grams. The committee will, on its part, see that these estimates are
handled promptly as part of an urgent supplemental.

The committee has included the full supplemental estimate of
$2,242,000. The $2,242,000 will provide funding for 99 positions and
related costs for the recently established office of the Assistant Sec-
retary for Education. The committee has serious reservations about
the need for yet another large staff to further complicate the ad-
ministration of the programs of the Department of Health, Educa-
tion, and Welfare. The committee will expect that the new Assistant
Secretary will not duplicate the efforts of the Commissioner of Edu-
cation and the Director of the National Institute of Education. The
committee will further expect the new Assistant Secretary to present
testimony at the first opportunity on the manner in which these posi-
tions will be used and how duplication and complication of efforts
will be avoided.

Committee recommendation 270, 640, 000
The committee recommends $270,640,000 for initial funding of this
new program, a reduction of $216,860,000 from the supplemental
estimate The committee allowance would provide for the 1972-1973
costs of carrying out the new Emergency School Aid Act ($227,940,-
000), Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ($21,700,000) and costs
necessary to cover emergency school assistance projects funded under
the Continuing Resolution during fiscal year 1973 ($21,000,000).
The major purpose of the Emergency School Aid Act is to provide
financial assistance primarily to eligible school districts to meet special
problems incident to desegregation, to encourage voluntary integra-
tion, and to aid school children in overcoming the educational dis-
advantages of minority group isolation
The $227,940,000 to implement the Emergency School Aid Act is
subject to specific. activity allocations by the enabling legislation.
From the recommended amount of $227,940,000 an amount equal to
5 percent, or $11,397,000, is reserved for metropolitan area projects
to support programs to establish and maintain integrated schools and
to plan integrated educational parks in Standard .Metropolitan Statis-
tical Areas; not less than 4 percent, or $9,117,600, is reserved for bilin-
gual education projects in eligible school districts and supporting
organizations to assist in meeting the needs of minority group children
whose dominant language is other than English; not less than 3
percent, or $6,838,200 is reserved for educational television projects
to develop and produce children's television programs consistent
with the purposes of the Act; and 6 percent, or $13,676,400, is reserved
for special programs and projects and evaluation activities.
. The remaining unreserved funds, 82 percent, or $186,910,800, are to
be apportioned among the States by allotting each State $75,000
plus an amount based upon its relative number of minority group
children, each State being guaranteed a minimum of $100,000 of the
funds apportioned to the States. An amount equal to 15 percent of the
total appropriation is reserved for compensatory education programs
and 8 percent for supporting organizations.
The committee's recommendation includes $21,700,000 to continue
the activities supported under Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, to render technical assistance in the preparation, adoption, and
implementation of plans for the desegregation of public schools.
Title IV activities have heretofore been supported under a separate
appropriation.
To prevent the loss of valuable staff and program Momentum pend-
ing the passage of an appropriation, the continuing resolution for
fiscal year 1973 also authorized continuation of emergency school
assistance activities carried on last. year under a temporary authority.
The committee's recommendation includes $21,000,000 for these
activities.
The committee allowance for the new emergency school aid legisla-
tion is based upon its estimate of the amount which can be effectively
used by the schools this year, taking into account the lateness of the

request, the need for regulations, and so forth. The committee,
however, is aware of the genuine need for funds in the area and mind-
ful of the fact that the President's January budget estimate included
$1 billion for this program. The committee would, therefore, be
wiling to consider additional funds for this new authority in January
if the Administration believes such appropriations can be used
effectively.
INDIAN EDUCATION

House allowance Not considered
Committee recommendation $36, 000, 000
The committee recommends $35,000,000 for funding of the new
Indian Education Act. No amount was included for this purpose in the
supplemental estimate.
The committee allowance would provide $24,000,000 for financial
assistance to local educational agencies for elementary and secondary
education programs to meet the special educational needs of Indian
children. The amount of the grant to which a local educational agency
would be entitled would be equal to the average per pupil expenditure
multiplied by the number of Indian children enrolled in the local
educational agency.
Under the committee action, $10,000,000 would be provided to
begin special programs and projects to improve educational oppor-
tunities for Indian children as authorized by section 810 of the Elemen-
tary and Secondary Education Act. This program provides grants for
projects designed to test the effectiveness of programs for improving
Indian educational services not available to Indian children in suffi-
cient quality or quantity; training programs for educational personnel;
and for dissemination and evaluation of the results of federally as-
sisted programs.
The committee recommends $1,000,000 to initiate a program of
pilot and demonstration projects and research and evaluation of
adult education programs for Indians. This program would encourage
the dissemination of information and materials relating to, and the
evaluation of the effectiveness of education programs which may
offer educational opportunities to Indian adults.
An amount of $1,000,000 is also included to provide the necessary
funds for establishing the new Office of Indian Education, the National
Advisory Council on Indian Education and for planning for imple-
mentation of the Indian Education Act. The amount would be
allocated as follows: $150,000 for the National Advisory Council;
$450,000 for 40 positions and related costs to staff the newly established
Office of Indian Education; and $400,000 to conduct planning studies.
The committee allowance for the Indian Education Act is intended
to provide funds sufficient only for the second half of this fiscal year
to get these new programs started. It is expected that the Office of
Education will act expeditiously in this regard.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE
For interest payments on Federally subsidized loans, the committee
recommends $215,000,000, the same as the request. The subsidies will
be paid on about $1.3 billion in new loans to 1,260,000 students during
the current academic year as well as on loans made in prior years that
have not yet entered repayment status. In addition to paying interest
on loans before they are due for repayment, the amount covers a
special allowance to lenders, depending upon. market conditions, and
pays off the loan in case of death or disability. Defaults on the program
are charged to another appropriation, "The Student Loan Insur-
ance Fund." Payments are mandatory when a proper bill is submitted.
Direct student loans, authorized by Part E of Title IV of the
amended Higher Education Act, is a continuation of National Defense
Student Loan authorized under Title II of the National Defense
Education Act. The recommended $293,000,000, together with
$23,600,000 appropriated late in 1972, will provide a total of $316,600,-
000. This amount would include $5,000,000 to reimburse schools for
their share of loans cancelled for certain kinds of public service,
$2,000,000 for loans to institutions to help them meet matching
requirements, and $309,600,000 for capital contributions and insti-

tutional administrative allowance. Together with institutional contri-
butions and loan repayments the recommended appropriation should
provide loans averaging $690 to 699,000 students.
No funds have been included in this bill for the newly authorized
Basic Opportunity Grants or the Supplemental Opportunity Grants
and College Work-study programs. In lieu of these funds, the Admin-
istration. requested, and the committee allowed, $3.4 million for
staffing and other administrative expenses associated with planning
for the new programs. The Commissioner of Education testified that
the complexities a the law required considerable planning on the
part of his office before the new programs could be put into place.
The Commissioner indicated, however, that the Administration
intends to propose substantial funding for the new program in Jan-
uary. The committee interprets this to mean 50 percent or more of
entitlement. The committee expects that the Commissioner will make
this intention known to the higher education community so that both
colleges and students have some meaningful figures on which to plan
The committee has included $500,000 for Allen J. Ellender Fellow-
ship Grants. The purpose of these grants is to honor the late Honorable
Allen J. Ellender, a Senator from Louisiana and President pro tem-
pore of the Senate, by providing the opportunity for participation, in
his name, by students of limited economic means and their teachers
in the program supported by the Close Up Foundation of Washington,
D.C., a nonpartisan, nonprofit foundation..
Grants received under this joint resolution will be used to promote
knowledge and understanding of the Federal Government among
young people and their educators.
Th.e Commissioner of Education is authorized to make these grants
in accordance with the provisions of Senate Joint Resolution 265 to
the Close Up Foundation of Washington.
INSTITUTIONAL ASSISTANCE
The committee has included $60,000,000 for strengthening develop-
ing institutions authorized under title III of the Higher Education
Act. The Title III program has been one of the most helpful and sig-
nificant programs for the traditionally black colleges. This amount will
be sufficient to maintain support for these institutions until January
when the committee will consider any additional funds the President
should recommend. No funds were included in the supplemental esti-
mate for this program.
For University Community Services, the committee recommends
$15,000,000 an increase of $9,300,000 over the supplemental estimate.
This amount would fund half of the authorization.
The committee has heard convincing testimony on the need to
provide facilities for continuing education developed by several
universities across the country. The Federal Government provides
close to $4 billion annually for the support of adult and continuing
education programs yet there is little assistance available to house these
programs. The committee commends this matter to the Commissioner

of Education and will expect prior to next year's hearings, a summary
report on the needs in this area and recommends tions for funding in
the Office of Education budget request.
The committee recommends $3,000,000 for administrative expenses
of State agencies which help administer the facilities construction
program. The appropriation language would also permit the use of
these funds to establish State Postsecondary Education Commissions
under Section 1202 of the Higher Education Act.
The Education Amendments of 1972 authorized lump-sum endow-
ments in lieu of land-grants to the Virgin Islands and Guam. The
committee recommends that the authorized $3,000,000 each be
appropriated. The committee has also included $12,460,000 for con-
tinuing support to land grant colleges under the Bankhead-Jones Act.
No funds were included for this item in the supplemental estimate.
For post-secondary innovation and reform, the committee recom-
mends the full $10,000,000 authorized by section 404 of the General
Education Provisions Act.
The committee has provided $75,000,000 for making cost-of-
instruction payments to colleges and universities which increase their
enrollments of veterans. This program would encourage institutions of
higher education to recruit additional veterans, provide remedial serv-
ices, and generally help defray instructional costs associated with the
program. The committee expects that the funds provided will be made
available to the colleges for the second half of this school year so that
veterans will benefit at the earliest possible date. It has come to the
committee's attention that the authorizing legislation for this program
is viewed by some as an entitlement. The history of the law does not
support this contention. The committee, though, would encourage
the Administration and the legislative committees to take whatever
action is necessary to clarify the intent of the law.

for librarian training and $1,785,000 for library research and
demonstrations.
The committee allowance provides for a basic library resources
grant of $5,000 for each of approximately 2,500 eligible institutions of
higher education. The distribution of this appropriation among
library resources, training and research reflects the priorities provided
for in the Education Amendments of 1972.

The committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of
$81,165,000 for items requested under the authority of the Education
Professions Development Act, the same as the supplemental estimate.
Most of the funds for activities included under this appropriation have
been provided for in the regular Labor-IIEW appropriation bill.
The committee allowance reflects the distribution of funds required
by the Education Amendments of 1972. This includes $35,707,000 for
career opportunities and urban-rural programs, $17,953,000 for cate-
gorical training projects, $11,860,000 for career education training,
$8,000,000 for training higher education personnel at less than the
Ph.D. level, $5,930,000 for fellowships for elementary and secondary
education personnel, and $1,715,000 for other education professions
activities.
The committee expects that funds under title V, part E of EPDA
will be concentrated on training institutes to prepare and strengthen
critically needed higher education personnel in special areas such as
the community college field, and with special need groups such as
minority students, the Spanish-Speaking and women, veterans, and
in other areas where there is a shortage of qualified personnel to meet
new needs in postsecondary education.

an additional 485 positions to carry out the new Emergency School

Aid Act; 240 of these 485 positions, however, were funded in fiscal
year 1972 and authorized by the fiscal year 1973 continuing resolution
to carry out the Emergency School Assistance Program and Title IV
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Other programs to be implemented under the Education Amend-
ments of 1972 (Basic Educational Oportunity Grants Program,
Community College Unit, Occupational Education Programs, Support
for Improvement of Postsecondary Education, and the Study and
Report on Rules and Regulations) would require 86 new positions.
But the committee understands that in reassessing requirements in
light of the priority programs called for in this new legislation, the
Office of Education has proposed to transfer from lower priority pro-
grams 26 positions; to result in a net additional requirement of only
60 positions for these other programs.
Affecting the total positions and funds available to the Office of
Education in fiscal year 1973 is also a transfer of 59 positions from
the Office of Education to the Assistant Secretary for Education.
The committee's recommendation represents a net increase in
positions for the Office of Education in fiscal year 1973 of 486, from
2,608 total positions available to 3,094, corresponding to an increase of
$13,905,000, from. $68,360,000 to $82,265,000.

1973 supplemental estimate (S. Doc. 92-91) $92, 082, 000
House allowance Not considered
Committee recommendation $92, 082, 000
The committee has included $92,082,000 for funding of the recently
authorized National Institute of Education. This amount is the same
as the supplemental estimate. This item was not considered by the
House. In addition to these funds the bill language transfers amounts
included in the regular HEW appropriation bill for dissemination
activities, except general dissemination, and the District of Columbia
schools project. This transfer is in accord with the intent of the
authorizing legislation. An amount of $17,918,000 was associated with
the activities to be transferred in the regular budget estimate for the
Office or Education, and in the House and Senate action on the regular
HEW Bill. In total therefore, under the committee recommendation,
$110,000,000 could be available for this new agency in fiscal year 1973.
About $70,000,000 of the allowance is needed to carry on prior com-
mitments made by the Office of Education under existing programs
which have been transferred to the National Institute of Education.
These include such research endeavors as Experimental Schools,
Career Education Models and Educational Laboratories and
Development Centers. The committee, however, expects the Institute
to conduct a careful review of these existing activities and to continue
funding only those which fit into the NIE mission as defined in the
enabling legislation.
The committee wishes, however, to mention its endorsement of the
District of Columbia school project being funded from this appropria-

tion. The imaginative expenditure of these funds by the D.C. public
school system could facilitate District-wide opportunities for up-
grading the qualifications and quality of professional educational
personnel and of programs for the community as a whole. The com-
mittee hopes that this project will provide a model for the nation,
both in educational content and in the wise and economical use of
Federal funds. The committee notes that requests for appropriations
for these purposes will henceforth be made by the new National
Institute of Education. Where appropriate, the Institute should draw
on the expertise of the Office of Education to assure the necessary
continuity of effort.
The committee anticipates that the institute will use most of the
remaining funds to support new projects which will lead to an en-
hancement and improvement of our educational system. An amount
of $6,820,000 has been included in this bill to support 350 posi-
tions?an increase of 176 over the 1972 level. These totals include
$918,000 and 39 positions associated with programs which would be
transferred from the Salaries and Expenses appropriation of the
Office of Education oo the National Institute of Education. One major
element of the personnel increase is staff to establish an intramural
research program as authorized in the basic law. Additionally, a
significant number of staff will be necessary to manage the new agency
and support the new initiatives it will undertake.

The committee recommends $899,268,000, which is $5,820,000 over
the House allowance and the budget estimate and $121,144,000 over
the comparable appropriation for 1972.
For rehabilitation services, the committee recommends $675,785,-
000, an increase of $58,024,000 over the 1972 comparable level. The
basic States grant program together with the special project activities
will serve an estimated 1,195,000 disabled persons and will rehabilitate
326,000 persons into gainful employment.
The committee has allowed the $9,000,000 requested to continue
me support of rehabilitation projects for the developmental disabled. ?
New emphasis is to be placed on the improvement of community based
services for the mentally retarded.
The committee strongly endorses $100,000,000 requested for special
programs for the aging. The increased resources, $55,300,000 over the
1972 level, will expand services to the elderly to reach a greater portion
of our older population in need.
The committee has included $60,883,000 for SRS research, an
.ncrease of $5,820,000 over the budget request. Five million dollars

new permanent facilities of the National Center for Deaf/Blind Youths
and Adults at Sands Point, New York. The original plans for the
Center were first drafted in 1967. In 1971, $2,500,000 was appropriated
as a starting point in the construction; however, because of the rapid
escalation of construction costs, and special features which have been
added on the expert advice from specialists to meet the needs of the
deaf-blind, the project will cost approximately $7,900,000.
The committee recommendation also includes $11,820,000 for in-
come maintenance experimentation, and increase of $820,000 over the
budget request. The increase of $820 thousand is to provide for the
design phase of a project to test a new jobs and income support
program as a replacement for the existing Unemployed Fathers
component of the AFDC program.
The committee is hopeful that the test project will demonstrate
that it is possible to replace the disincentive features in the present
system with a new system which provides strong financial work
incentive coupled with the provision of job opportunities and whose
ultimate aim is enhancing the economic and social independence of
low-income families.
It is the intent of the committee that this program involve the
participation of the representatives of all interested groups in the
planning stage. Because of its special interest in this project, the com-
mittee will expect the Department to submit the results of the design
phase to the committee for its review before proceeding to full scale
implementation of the test project.
The committee has also provided the full request of $44,600,000
for SRS training in order to continue the program at the 1972 level
of support. The committee recognizes the importance of continuing
these efforts in basic support of rehabilitation, the aging and other
programs of the Agency.
The committee is concerned by evidense that several of the profes-
sional manpower training areas specified as appropriate targets for
Vocational Rehabilitation Act funds have experienced a significant
funding reductions over the past several years. Fiscal 1972 support
for graduate training programs in speech pathology and audiology,
for example, represented a more than 40-percent cutback from the
fiscal 1971 level. The Committee recognizes that the SRS has been
attempting to place greater emphasis on undergraduate and in-service
training programs; however, this reduction appears to be far too
severe. The committee is convinced that a balanced program of man-
power-training is essential to meet the personnel needs of rehabilita-
tion institutions and programs.

Committee recommendation 7, 545, 000
The committee has included an additional $7,545,000 for the
construction of the Model Secondary School for the Deaf. These
funds are urgently needed to cover inflation costs and for the finaliza-
tion of facility plans to satisfy program requirements and site develop-
ment costs associated with unstable subsurface conditions which
could not have previously been known. If these funds are not made
available now, this Congressionally mandated program will be
drastically and detrimentally affected. The funds presently available
are enough to build facilities sufficient to have only two hundred
day students rather than the programmatically required 600 students,
including 450 resident students. The resident students were largely
to be drawn from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Delaware and Washington, D.C. If the funds are not made available
now, only 200 children from the National Capitol area can be served
as resident students.
Further, if the amount in the request is not made available now, a
much larger appropriation will be required at a later date to complete
the construction of the facility, the cost of which is constantly in-
creasing due to inflation.

and $14,000,000 more than the House allowance.
The allowance provides $12,500,000 for early childhood and youth
research and demonstration projects. The committee feels that
initiatives being mounted on child development research, with em-
phasis on the first five years of life, should have a significant pay-off
in the development of effective programs for the nation's children.

The allowance also includes $407,255,000 for the Head Start program
for approximately 400,000 children.
The Economic Opportunity Act changed the method by which
funds are distributed among the States and Territories. The budget
I'OCIIIQSt did not contemplate a legislative increase for Puerto Rico
and is deficient by $14 million. The committee is advised that unless
the additional funds are made available, it will be necessary to reduce
programs already operating in the 50 states.
The committee agrees with the House and has not approved a
requested increase of $805,000 for salaries and related expenses for
70 .additional positions. The committee was not persuaded that this
additional staff is urgently needed since the programs administered
are being maintained: at essentially the current level.
The committee notes with interest the new developments and
improvements in Project Head Start. Additionally, the recent enact-
ment of the extension of the Economic Opportunity Act contains
new provisions which require implementation and reporting in fiscal
year 1973. The committee is anxious to know what OCD is doing to
effectively follow-through on the mandates- of the EOA amendments
and:will expect a report on this at next year's bearings.

I There was no appropriation for Action in FYI 1972. Appropriations were transferred from three different
agencies.
The committee. recommends $94,107,000 for the domestic programs
of .Action, a reduction of $4,318,000 from the budget request, the same
as the house allowance and an increase of $13,675,000 over the
amounts available for the programs for fiscal year 1971 This is the
first- appropriation to Action since it was established as an
inde-
pendent agency on July 1, 1972 by the President's Reorganization
Plan. No. 1, and Executive Order No, 11603. FY 1973 funds for
Action were not included in the regular bill due to the lack of authoriz-
ing legislation.
The recommended appropriation provides for the domestic volunteer
programs, and Action's general support of these programs including
federal staff. salaries and expenses and related, miscellaneous costs.
The programs are Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) and
University Year for-Action (UYA), finder the Economic Opportunity
Act amendments of 1972, signed into law on September 19, 1972,
the Foster Grandparents and the Retired Senior Volunteers Program
(RSVP); under the Older -Americans Act, which has passed both the
House- and Senate and is now in Conference Committee, and the Serv-
ice Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) - and Active Corps of
Executives - (ACE), under the Small Business Act, All of these pro-
grams were transferred -to Action in FY 1972 from: OE0, HEW;
and SBA, respectively.
The committee recominendation contains the amount requested to
expand the enrollment in all Of the above listed programs. The com-
mittee agrees With the House in allowing one-half or the requested
increase of $8,636,000 for new initiatives.

The budget request of $760,200,000 is actually a net increase of
$57,528,000 over the FY 1972 appropriation when the total available
last year is adjusted to reflect the transfer of VISTA to Action, and
to deduct the supplemental appropriation of $20 million for emergency
food and medical services which was enacted late in the fiscal year 1972
and available for use in :fiscal year 1973.
However, most of the increase contemplated in the budget request
went toward maintaining the current operating levels for local initia-
tive, drug rehabilitation, special impact, and legal services, and some
expansion in research, development and evaluation and alcoholic
counseling programs was also requested.
The committee was urged to add funds for specific programs that
would have brought the total well above the authorized. amount. It's
recommendation of $840,000,000 will provide specific additional fund-
ing beyond the budget request for five areas of special concern:
(1) Puerto Rico, (where a deficiency was created by the EOA amend-
ments enacted last month, as described for Project Head Start, above)
(2) Emergency Food and Medical Service, (3) Legal Services, (4)
Community Economic Development, and (5) Comprehensive Health
Services.
The .committee is concerned over major organizational changes
being made with respect to the Emergency Food and Medical Services
program at 0E0. The committee has been advised that the Washing-
ton office staff has been disbanded, and the direction of the program
has for all 'intents been delegated to the regional offices, and to the
Operations Branch of the 0E0.
The actions of committee should have made clear by now the firin
support which the Congress intends for the Emergency Food and
Medical Services Program. The committee reiterates in the strongest
possible terms our desire to see the EFMS strengthened and supported
within the 0E0. That implies the maintenance of a national office
staff with primary responsibility for the program, and a capability for
directing programs with wider-than-regional impact.
The EFMS has proved a most important tool in the fight against
hunger, a fight which cannot be abandoned. While it is true that
larger, longer established programs exist to combat poverty-related
hunger and malnutrition, none has the flexibility and responsivity of
the EFMS. In fact, several of the major feeding programs owe their
continued effectiveness to EFMS. For example, EFMS funds are
responsible for the existence of nearly half of the Supplemental Foods
programs providing specially nutritious foods for poor pregnant women
and young children; EFMS pioneered in some of the earliest and most
successful programs for group feeding of the elderly; EFMS has made
surplus commodity foods programs more accessible and successful to
the poor in isolated Southwestern counties; EFMS has made the
services of part-time physicians available to counties that had no
medical personnel at all. Equally important, EFMS has supported
private efforts to combat hunger, a particularly outstanding example
in the assistance to the Neighbors-In-Need program operating in.
Seattle, Wash.
In providing additional funds for the EFMS in FY '73 the com-
mittee once again reaffirms its continued awl strong interest in the
vigorous maintenance of the EFMS program.

The committee has included language in the bill providing for the
transfer of the assets and liabilities of the existing title 11I?A revolv-
ing loan fund, (administered by the Agriculture Department under a
delegation of authority from the Director of 0E0) to the newly
created Rural Development Loan Fund administered by 0E0. The
committee is aware that certain loans previously made by the Farmers
Home Administration of the Department of Agriculture pursuant to
title 111?A remain outstanding and. must be serviced by that agency.
Tho statutory language providing for the transfer would include
within this transfer not only the assets but also the liabilities of the
title 111?A fund. Certainly one of the continuing liabilities of that
fund is the expense involved in administering the loans which have
been made under title III?A.
In providing for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the re-
volving fund previously established under title Ill?A to the Rural
Development Loan Fund, it is the intent of the committee that part
of the monies from the Rural Development Loan Fund may be made
available to the Farmers Home Administration and may be utilized
by it to defray costs necessarily incurred in administering outstand-
ing title III?A loans.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
The committee has included two general provisions, sections 401 and
402, pertaining to the new Social Services legislation contained in
title III of the revenue sharing legislation. The concept of these
amendments was agreed to by the Senate as amendments to H.R.
which is now pending in conference. They are included in the com-
mittee bill to insure that they will become law this session if contained
in the enacted bill.
LIMITATIONS AND LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS
In accordance with Senate Rule XVI, the following amendments
recommended by the Committee in Chapter IV, not made to carry
out the provision of an existing law, are brought to the attention or
the Senate:
On page 8, under the heading "Higher Education," the last
provision.

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
SENATE
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
The committee has approved requests of the Secretary for changes
in the titles of certain employees in his office, and the transfer of a
position from his administrative payroll to the statutory payroll,
thereby making funds available for a new position needed to carry
out his responsibilities under the Federal Election Campaign Act of
1971. The recommended appropriation of $8,980 and language are as
follows:
For an additional amount for "Office of the Secretary",
$8,980: Provided, That effective November 1, 1972, the
Secretary may appoint and fix the compensation of a clerk in
the office of the official reporters of debates at not to exceed
$13,468 per annum, an assistant librarian at not to exceed
$17,871 per annum in lieu of a senior reference assistant at not

not to exceed such rate, a clerk at not to exceed $9,583 per
annum in lieu of a messenger at not to exceed such rate, seven
clerks at not to exceed $8,806 per annum each in lieu of seven
messengers at not to exceed such rate, and the title of the
position chief messenger in the Secretary's office is hereby
changed to deputy special assistant.
OFFICE OF SERGEANT AT ARMS AND DOORKEEPER
The committee recommends an appropriation of $42,305 to fund
three new positions in the .computer service section. These positions
are necessary for the implementation and operation of the initial
phase of computerization of the record keeping system of the Secretary
approved by the Committee on Rules and Administration. The
proposed language reads as follows:
For an additional amount for "Office of Sergeant at
Arms and Doorkeeper", $42,305: Provided, That effective

TRANSFER OF FUNDS
The committee recommends transfers of $140,000 to the appropria-
tion "Inquiries and Investigations'', 1972 to cover an estimated defi-
ciency resulting from increased resolution authorizations and increased
reporting and transcribing rates, and $1,020,000 to the appropriation

areas of communications and mechanical equipment. In the com-
munications area the deficit was occasioned by a recent increase in
allocations not previously funded and the mechanical equipment
deficit basically resulted from equipment purchases charged to the
clerk hire appropriation, without compensating transfer of funds. The.
committee proposes to derive these sums frOT11 the appropriation
"Salaries, Officers and Employees", 1972 which has an unobligated
balance sufficient to this purpose. The committee has approved an
increase in the budget estimate for mechanical equipment funding
for fiscal year 1974.
The language follows:
INQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATIONS
For an additional amount for "Inquiries and Investiga-
tions", fiscal year 1972, $140,000, to be derived by transfer
from the appropration "Salaries, Officers and Employees",
fiscal year 1972.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
For an additional amount for "Miscellaneous Items",
fiscal year 1972, $1,020,000, to be derived by transfer from
the appropriation "Salaries, Officers and Employees", fiscal
year 1972.
LEGAL REFERENCE BOOKS
An administrative provision, as follows, has been inserted to revise
the law to conform to a change in the name of a legal publication
referred to therein:
Clause (2) of the fourth paragraph under the heading
"Administrative Provisions" in the appropriations for the
Senate in the Legislative Branch Appropriation Act, 1972, is
amended by striking out "Federal Code Annotated" wherever
it appears and inserting in lieu thereof "United States Code
Service".
SENATORIAL TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES
The committee recommends an administrative provision to permit
reimbursement of transportation expenses of employees in the State
offices of Senators for travel on official business outside their duty
stations but wholly within the State, as follows:
The first sentence of the third paragraph under the head-
ing "Administrative Provisions" in the appropriations for
the Senate in the Legislative Branch Appropriation Act, 1959,
as amended by the Legislative Branch Appropriation Act,
1972 (2 U.S.C. 43b), is amended to read as follows:
"The contingent fund of the Senate is hereby made avail-
able for reimbursement of actual transportation expenses in-
curred by each Senator in traveling on official business and
such expenses incurred by employees in that Senator's office
in making round trips on official business by the nearest
usual route between Washington, District of Columbia, and
the home State of the Senator involved, and in traveling with-
in that State (other than transportation expenses incurred by
an employee assigned to a Senator's office within that State

(A) while traveling in the general vicinity of such office,
(B) pursuant to a change of assignment within such State, or
(C) in commuting between home and office)."
SUMS DUE DECEASED SENATORS AND SENATE EMPLOYEES
Language has been inserted in the bill to permit Senators and
Senate employees to designate beneficiaries for the payment of sums
due at the time of their death.
The first paragraph under the heading "Payment of Sums
Due Deceased Congressional Personnel" in the appropriation
for the Legislative Branch in the Second Supplemental
Appropriation Act, 1951 (2 U.S.C. 36a), is amended to read
as follows:
"Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the
Senate, a person serving as a Senator or officer or employee
whose compensation is disbursed by the Secretary of the
Senate may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to be
paid any unpaid balance of salary or other sums due such
person at the time of his death. When any person dies while
so serving, any such unpaid balance shall be paid by the
disbursing officer of the Senate to the designated bene-
ficiary or beneficiaries. If no designation has been made,
such unpaid balance shall be paid to the widow or widower
of that person, or, if there is no widow or widower, to the
next of kin or heirs at law of that person."
TRAVEL ADVANCES
At the request of the Secretary, an authorization for advances to
employees to defray travel expenses necessary in the enforcement of
the provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, has been
inserted in the bill as follows:
The Secretary of the Senate is hereafter authorized to
advance, in his discretion, to any designated employee under
his jurisdiction, such sums as may be necessary, not ex-
ceeding $1,500, to defray official travel expenses in assisting
the Secretary in carrying out his duties under the Federal
Election Campaign Act of 1971. Any such employee shall,
as soon as practicable, furnish to the Secretary a detailed
voucher for such expenses incurred and make settlement
with respect to any amount so advanced.
EXISTING POSITION, INCREASE IN SALARY CEILING, COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS
The following language has been included in the bill by the com-
mittee authorizing a salary ceiling of not to exceed $35,742 for an
existing position under the Committee on Appropriations:
Subsection (e) (3) (B) of section 105 of the Legislative
Branch Appropriation Act, 1968, as amended, and as modi-
fied by orders of the President pro tempore of the Senate
(2 U.S.C. 61-1), is amended by striking out the word "two"
and inserting in lieu thereof "three".

CONSOLIDATION OF SENATORIAL ALLOWANCES AND CONVERSION TO
CALENDAR YEAR BASIS
The committee recommends a merger of the current allowances
for long-distance telephone calls and telegram charges, stationery,
airmail and special delivery stamps, transportation, home office
expenses, subscriptions, State office rentals, and telephone charges
incurred outside of Washington, D.C., into one consolidated allowance
for the same purposes.. This new multipurpose account will be placed
on a calendar year basis, effective January 1, 1973, and will be rated,
for each Senator, at the aggregate of the individual amounts currently
in effect. There will be no increase in the overall amount allowed
each Senator or in the appropriation. The two purposes of this action
are to provide flexibility to each Senator in the management of his
office and to establish the calendar year as the standard accounting
period.
The current fiscal year allowances will be reduced to 50 percent
of the amount presently authorized, which amount will be available
on the current individual allowance basis through December 31, 1972.
All reimbursements of expenses incurred under this new allowance,
from and after January 1, 1973, will be made upon itemization and
certification of each Senator. Airmail and special delivery stamps
will no longer be furnished in kind but will become a reimbursable
item. The Sergeant at Arms will continue to process all State office
rental payment vouchers but home office expense reimbursement
vouchers will thereafter originate in each Senator's office.
The consolidated control account for each Senator will be maintained
by the disbursing office, which office will advise Senators of the pay-
ments made from this account, when vouchers submitted exceeed
accruals, and of possible deficiencies at the earliest practical moment.
An antideficiency provision has been included in the authorization
which will preclude payment of any voucher which exceeds the Sena-
tor's accrued allowance through the month in which the voucher is
received for payment.
The consolidation does not include any of the funds available for
clerk hire.
JOINT ITEMS
JOINT COMMITTEE ON INTERNAL REVENUE TAXATION
The committee concurs with the House of Representatives in recom-
mending an appropriation of $135,000 for this Joint Committee. These
additional funds have been requested in order to cover the salaries of
three additional professional staff members and two additional sec-
retaries; for the tax services for an additional suite being assigned to
the staff, and for staff salary adjustments that will be made sometime
during this fiscal year.
OFFICE OF THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN
For the Office of the Attending Physician, the committee recom-
mends an additional appropriation of $5,000 to be available as an
allowance for a medical consultant. In addition, language has been
included in the bill by the committee providing that the Attending
Physician to the United States Congress, while so serving, shall be

considered to hold the rank of Rear Admiral, Medical Corps, U.S.
Naval Reserve.
CAPITOL POLICE
The committee was advised that under a recent court decision in the
District of Columbia members of the Capitol Police force who carry
revolvers outside the Capitol grounds would be subject to prosecution
for carrying an unregistered weapon. This results from an interpreta-
tion of the law that the Capitol Pence force does not come within any
of the classes set forth in 22 District of Columbia Code, sections 3204
and 3305 dealing among other- matters with the carrying of firearms
within the District of Columbia.
The Chief of the Capitol Police force advised the committee that it
was imperative that the authority of the Capitol Police force be ex-
tended to include the same powers as those extended to the Metro-
politan Police, U.S. Park Police, and the Executive Protective
Service.
City streets pass through the boundaries of the Capitol grounds.
Nevertheless, they are identified as city streets. The nursery, operated
by the Architect of the Capitol, is located across the Anacostia River
in Southeast Washington. The Capitol Power Plant is not contiguous
with the Capitol grounds. Police escorts are often required for deliveries
to the banks from the office of the Sergeant at Arms.
The Committee on Public Works of the Senate has been considering
this matter but it is doubtful the law can be amended in the regular
order before adjournment. The chairman of the Committee on Public
Works, in a communication to the chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, proposed that the supplemental appropriation bill be
amended to authorize the Capitol Police to carry firearms under regu-
lations to be prepared by the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and the
Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives. The following
language proposed to the committee by the Committee on Public
Works has been included in the bill:
SEC. 507. Section 1824 of the Revised Statutes (40 U.S.C.
210), is amended by adding at the end thereof the-following
new sentence: "Such arms so furnished shall be carried by
each officer and member of the Capitol police, while in the
Capitol Buildings (as defined in section 16(a) (1) of the act
of July 31, 1946, as amended (40 U.S.C. 193m)), and while
within or outside of the boundaries of the United States
Capitol Grounds (as defined in the first section of the Act of
July 31, 1946, as amended (40 U.S.C. 193a)), in such manner
and at such times as the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and
the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives may,
by regulations, prescribe."
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION
The House included language in the bill in the Legislative Chapter
providing that the provisions of House Resolution 890 relating to the
compensation of the Clerk, the Doorkeeper, and the Sergeant at Arms
of the House of Representatives, and the Chief of Staff of the Joint
Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation shall be the permanent law
with respect thereto. The Committee has stricken the House provision
and has rewritten it to exclude the Chief of Staff of the Joint Com-
mittee on Internal Revenue Taxation since it is not believed that the
provisions of the Rouse Resolution should relate to this position.

ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL
CAPITOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
CAPITOL BUILDINGS
The committee agrees with the need for increased security in the
Capitol buildings and therefore recommends an appropriation of
$3,000,000, the same amount as the House, for the installation of
security apparatus for the protection of the U.S. Capitol buildings.
In a hearing before the subcommittee on September 15, James M.
Powell, chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, stressed the need for tighter
security measures in the Capitol buildings. In this regard, the -U.S.
Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been
assisting the Capitol Police in determining the most appropriate means
of providing maximum security to these buildings. It has been deter-
mined that it is absolutely necessary that the use of police personnel be
augmented by the use of a closed circuit surveillance system, a low
voltage X-ray parcel inspection system, and an intrusion detection
system. The authorization for this appropriation is contained in
H. Con. Res. 550, which has been agreed to in identical form in the
two Houses.
SENATE OFFICE BUILDINGS
The committee recommends an appropriation of $110,000 to install
now lighting fixtures in the Old Senate Office Building. The present
fixtures are 15 years old and should be replaced with new fluorescent
fixtures of an improved design. The new fixtures will be hung on the
existing metal supports installed in 1957 and no rewiring will be
required.
NEW SENATE OFFICE BUILDING COMPLETION AND RELATED MATTERS
The committee recommends an appropriation of $53,500,000 for the
Architect of the Capitol for the following purposes which were authm-
ized in S. 3917 which passed the Senate, Sept. 13, 1972.
NEW SENATE OFFICE BUILDING COMPLETION
The committee recommends an appropriation of $47,925,000 for the
completion of the New Senate Office Building by construction on the
east half of square 725. The proposed addition would contain approxi-
mately 654,800 gross square feet, as compared to 712,900 gross square
feet in the existing new building. Also, studies indicate that the greatest
need of the Senate is for additional office rooms, rather than hearing
rooms. The new structure would have between 400 to 450 rooms as
compared to approximately 500 in the existing new building.
The estimated cost of construction and equipment of the building
is $47,925,000. This figure is based on schematic studies made several
years ago, but updated to an anticipated bid date in 1974. This cost
estimate does not include furniture and furnishings or the cost of expan-
sion of the Capitol power plant necessary to serve the new portion of
the building. The furniture and furnishings will be authorized and

Approved For Release 2001/08/27 4(cIA-RDP79-00498A000100150066-2
funded later in accord with the usual practice. The power plant expan-
sion, including services for the completed Senate Office Building, the
James Madison Memorial Library of Congress Building, and other
anticipated construction, is now pending before the House Committee
on Public Works. Planning funds have already been granted for the
power plant work.
The estimated cost of construction and equipment of the new
Senate structure includes the cost of architect-engineer planning
funds, inspection, tests, administration, and related costs.
Construction and equipment cost would amount to $67.14 per
square foot. Total cost, including planning, inspection, et cetera,
would equal approximately $73.30 per square foot, assuming a 1974
bid date.
The design will be developed in close collaboration with the Senate
Committee on Public Works and the Senate Office Building Com-
mission.
LAND ACQUISITION, SQUARE 724, DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS, AND
DESIGN COMPETITION FOR GARAGE PROJECT
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,125,000 for the
acquisition of property in square 724, the demolition of buildings, and
design competition for garage and related facilities. Of this total,
$3,800,000 is for the acquisition of the property and related acquisition
costs.
Ten privately-owned real properties are authorized to be acquired in
square 724. They include the following improvements:
1. The Monocle Restaurant Oil D Street NE.
2. The Spencer Apartments at the corner of Second and D
Streets NE:
3. A two-story apartment building, also used as a tourist
house, on Second Street next to the Spencer Apartments.
4. A two-story apartment building in the middle of the block
on Second Street NE.
5. The Tenney Apartments on Second Street, near the middle
of the block.
6. The Stanton Apartments (a six-story structure) on C Street
NE., midway between First and Second Streets.
7. A residential building on C Street next to the Stanton Apart-
ments.
8. A residential building on C Street next to the other residential
building.
9. The Senate Court Apartments ( a six-story structure) on C
Street, next to the two residential buildings.
10. The Capitol Hill Hotel (formerly known as the Carroll
Arms Hotel) at the corner of First and C Streets NE.
These 10 properties contain a total of 56,200 square feet of land.
This square footage represents 29 percent of the total square.
One Government-owned property is authorized to be acquired
through transfer of jurisdiction and control from the General Services
Administration to the Architect of the Capitol, without reimbursement
or transfer of funds. This lot contains 28,916 square feet and represents
16 percent of the total square. Forty real properties in this Square are
already owned by the Government and are now under the jurisdiction
and control of the Architect of the Capitol. These properties contain a
total of 105,184 square feet, and represent 55 percent of the total

square. The estimated cost of demolition of structures in this Square
is $275,000. Pending demolition, the Architect of the Capitol is au-
thorized to use any of the buildings for Government purposes or for
lease to others.
PLANS FOR GARAGE AND RELATED FACILITIES
Under the amount of 850,000, the Architect of the Capitol is
authorized to initiate and conduct a study, after consultation with
the appropriate Federal agencies and individuals experienced in design
of vehicle parking structures, to explore design and cost alternatives
for construction, on square 724, of a parking garage with limited
commercial facilities, and report his preliminary findings and recom-
mendations to the Senate Committee on Public Works.
This item also provides that the Architect shall conduct an archi-
tectural design competition, in order to encourage the preparation of
an imaginative design for the garage structure, including limited com-
mercial facilities and landscaping and to assure a pleasant transition
to and maximum coordination with the surrounding residential and
commercial community in that area of Northeast Washington.
The competition is to be conducted under guidelines and criteria
specifically defining the limits, scope, and all aspects of the competi-
tion, developed and promulgated by the Architect of the Capitol, with
the approval of the Senate Office Building Commission.
ACQUISITION OF SQUARE 764
This is the site of the Old Providence Hospital. It is located in
southeast Washington in the vicinity of the Capitol Grounds. The
square is bounded by D, Third, E, and Second Streets.
The site is owned by a private group known as Providence
Associates.
The site is now vacant land; all improvements were removed. in
1965. It contains approximately 95,041 square feet. Dimensions are
approximately 288 X 330 feet.
The property was appraised in 1968 at the direction of the House
Office Building Commission. Two appraisals were obtained. The
amounts of the appraisals, when evaluated by the Architect and the
Justice Department, indicated that the fair market value at that
time was about 81,250,000, which includes an allowance for incidental
acquisition expenses.
As a result of a study the Architect of the Capitol has recommended
that this property be acquired as a site for the John W. McCormack
Residential Page School authorized by the Legislative Reorganization
Act of 1970. That act authorizes construction of this facility under the
direction of the House Office Building Commission and the Senate
Office Building Commission.
The House Office Building Commission has approved square 764
as the site for the facilities for the Pages of the Senate, the House, and
the. Supreme Court, contingent upon approval by the Senate Office
Building Commission. The proposal is now pending before the latter
Commission.
ESTIMATED COST
The committee bill contains $1,450,000 for the acquisition of square
764. This total also includes some funding for the Government's

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
The committee concurs with the House and recommends an ap-
propriation of $150,000, and in addition $143,000 to be derived by
transfer, in four appropriation line items requested in House Docu-
ment 92-352 to meet increased postal and telephone rate costs and to
furnish 17 new positions.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
For salaries and expenses the committee concurs with the House in
recommending an appropriation of $150,000, $109,000 of which is to
be derived by transfer from the reserve fund under "Distribution of
Catalog Cards, Salaries, and Expenses," fiscal year 1973. The com-
mittee feels that this amount would satisfy the requirements of
Public Law 92-261, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972,
section 717 of which imposes now and additional personnel manage-
ment responsibilities upon the Librarian of Congress. With these
additional funds, 17 new positions will be added to stregthon the per-
sonnel office staffing and the Equal Opportunity Office to carry out
an expanded affirmative action personnel program.
COPYRIGHT OFFICE
The committee agrees with the House and recommends an ap-
propriation of $20,500 for the Copyright Office to be derived by
transfer from the reserve fund under "Distribution of Catalog Cards,
Salaries and Expenses," fiscal year 1973. This would cover the in-
creased postal cost Chargeable to the Copyright Office.
DISTRIBUTION OF CATALOG CARDS
An amount of $11,000 has been requested to be used for payment
of increased postal charges. The committee recommends concurrance
in the House allowance of $11,000 to be derived from the reserve
fund under this head, fiscal year 1973.
BOOKS FOR THE BLIND AND PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED
The committee recommends concurrance in the House allowance of
$13,500 to be derived from the reserve fund under this head, fiscal
year 1973. This amount would cover the increased postage cost
chargeable to Books for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF DOCUMENTS
The committee concurs with the House and recommends a total
appropriation of $24,819,100 for the Government Printing Office,
which is the amount of the budget estimate.
This appropriation would provide an amount of $12,117,000 for
fiscal year 1973 to meet an increased cost for postage and to reduce
backlog and order processing. The sum of $12,702,100 would be pro-
vided to meet a 1972 deficiency required by an increase in postage.
The committee was advised by the Government Printing Office
that the new postage rates and application of appropriate rates and
classification control practices would have an enormous impact on the
program of the Superintendent of Documents. As a result of sam-
plings and studies which the Government Printing Office found to be
fair and accurate, the -U.S. Postal Service submitted a subsequent
billing to the Government Printing Office for fiscal year 1972 for $15,-
790,100. This represented an increase of $12,702,100 over the original
sum of $3,097,000 originally appropriated and available for postage
for fiscal year 1972. For these reasons, the committee concurs with
the House and recommends the amount of $12,702,100 as a deficiency
for fiscal year 1972.
With respect to fiscal year 1973, the additional sum requested for
increased postage costs is $9,881,600, and the committee concurs with
the House and recommends this sum for that purpose. The balance
requested for fiscal year 1973 of $2,235,400 is for the establishment of
a nighttime shift in the public documents department and the con-
tinuation of a part-time when-actually-employed shift. Under the plans
submitted to the committee, the Superintendent of Documents hopes
to have 398 employees to work a new shift from 5:00 p.m. to 1:30
using the same facilities and space assigned to the day shift. The when-
actually-employed shift will begin at 10:00 p.m. and work until 6:30
a.m., thus providing for almost a 24-hour, around-the-clock work-
force. The committee was advised that throughout fiscal year 1972
the Superintendent of Documents was processing, packagin.g, and
mailing half of the orders received within a 10-day work cycle. This
has been increased to approximately 60 percent, but the balance, four
out of every 10 orders, is still requiring from 3 to 10 weeks before
they are mailed to customers. The committee has been aware of this
backlog and expects that it will be corrected with the additional
support recommended herein.
ITEMS OF APPROPRIATION RECOMMENDED WITHOUT STATUTORY
AUTHORITY
Historically, the appropriation acts in the Senate serve as a
vehicle not only for appropriations but statutory authority for
many of the housekeeping functions of the Senate. Many of the
allowances for Senators and their staffs, the consolidation of allow-
ances, the creation of new positions for the Senate, the transfer of
positions, the changing of position titles, and the fixing of salaries are
among the examples of the amendments carried in appropriation acts.
In the accompanying bill, statutory authority has been included in
several instances which are described in some detail in the legislative
chapter of this report.

The committee recommends an appropriation of $850,000, the full
amount of the supplemental estimate. The House allowed no supple-
mental funds.
The Water Resources Planning Act states that the Council shall
prepare an assessment periodically of the adequacy of supplies of
water necessary to meet the water requirements in each water resource
region in the United States. The first national assessment was pub-
lished in 1968. The council has determined that the assessment is to be
a continuing process with reports made every five years.
The estimated cost for the fiscal years 1973-1976 period for the
second national and regional assessments is $6,300,000.
The supplemental appropriation of $850,000 for fiscal year 1973 will
be used for full-scale initiation of the 1975 assessment.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $37,300,000 for
the Traffic and Motor Vehicles programs. The amount appropriated
in the regular bill for 1973 provides for the traffic safety programs
authorized under the Highway Safety Act. The amount recommended
is for activities authorized under the Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety
Authorization Act of 1973.
The increase over 1972 would permit $1.4 million over 1972 for
motor vehicle programs in the area of standards enforcement and
defects investigation, including 13 positions for staffing the compliance
test facility; $2 million for initiation of a crash recorder program; and
$1 8 million to advance the experimental safety vehicle program to its
next stage of development.
The Department volunteered the $61,000 reduction for savings
resulting from operations under the continuing resolution.

This additional limitation was requested to meet the increasing
levels of traffic fatalities. The request was for funding an intensified
selective traffic safety enforcement program, including increased
traffic law enforcement and related judicial countermeasures in the
State courts.
The committee notes that the Department is contemplating re-
ductions in other areas to offset this program increase. The committee
directs that no such reductions be made affecting the recently increased
program levels for aviation safety installations.

COMMISSION ON HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION
Each of the Bills passed by the Senate (S. 3939) and the House
(H.R. 16656) for 1972 Federal-Aid highway legislation contained
identical language to extend the time for which the Commission on
Highway Beautification is to make a final report to December 31, 1973
and authorizes an additional $250,000 for the Commission to be avail-
able until expended. These funds are to be in addition to the $200,000
authorized by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1970 and appropriated
in 1971.
The appropriation of these additional funds will be contingent upon
final enactment of the authorization to increase funds available to the
Commission and to extend the time within which it, is to submit a
final report.

The Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of
$2,700,000, the estimate and House allowance, for Salaries and
Expenses of the Bureau of Customs. The amount recommended pro-
vides for an additional 310 Customs Patrol Officers (180 average
positions) for increased surveillance of port and dock areas in an effort
to reduce the smuggling of narcotics and dangerous drugs.
The Committee recognizes that a weak link in the Customs Nar-
cotics Interdiction program is the lack of an adequate Customs Patrol
Office force. In 1947, there were 1,650 Customs Patrol Officers nation-
wide. During the 1950's, the Patrol Force was reduced and totalled only
450 by 1960. The Force remained relatively stable throughout the
1960s and currently there are 558 filled Customs Patrol Officer posi-
tions. To rebuild the CPO Force to a level at which it can begin to
play a more effective and productive role in the Customs enforcement
program, the Committee is allowing the positions requested, thus
bringing the CPO force to not to exceed 953 permanent positions. The
Committee concurs with the House in allowing the purchase of 39
additional passenger motor vehicles.
The Committee took considerable testimony from Treasury Depart-
ment officials, members of the Air Transport Association, as well as
from representatives of the Government of Bermuda, and the Airport
Operators Council International on the existing passenger preclearance
program.
In view of the testimony presented before the Committee and the
scope of the program, as well as the possible effect of precipitous ter-
mination of preclearance operations upon the Governments, the
airlines, airports and passengers, it is the sense of the Committee that
there is a need to amend the date from March 31, 1973, as contained
in Section 102 of the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Govern-
ment Appropriation Act, 1973, to June 30, 1973, in order to provide
more time in which to study and seek accommodations, if possible.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Eugene Rossides stated to the
Committee that the Treasury Department would pose no objection to
extending the date in the Act to June 30, 1973. Accordingly, the
Committee recommends that Section 102 of Public Law 92-351,
approved July 13, 1972, be amended by striking out "March 31,
1973" and inserting in lieu thereof "June 30, 1973".

Approved For Release 2001/08/27 :RA-RDP79-00498A000100150066-2
allowance, for Compliance activities of the Internal Revenue Service.
The amount recommended provides for examination, audit and in-
vestigation of an increased number of income tax returns with the
objective of intensifying efforts to suppress the illegal traffic in
narcotics and dangerous drugs. The Department requested 238 addi-
tional positions (168 Special Agents and 70 Revenue Agents) for the
balance of the fiscal year 1973, which would raise the number of
authorized positions in the Narcotics Traffickers Program to 780 in
IRS. Tho Committee has no objection to this proposed increase in
personnel provided the reduction in funds can be absorbed in areas
other than personnel.
The Internal Revenue Service's Narcotics Traffickers Program
(NTP) received Congressional support with a budget amendment to
the regular 1972 appropriation request by authorizing 542 positions
and $7 6 million to cover their half-year cost, The full-year cost of this
authorized level ($14.4 million) is covered in the Service's 1973
appropriation.
The supplemental funds recommended will add badly needed
agents to step up identification and investigation of major narcotics
traffickers this year, by providing 238 additional agents and support
staff to the 542 now on the rolls.

under the House allowance, for Salaries and Expenses, Office of the
Secretary. This appropriation provides for central direction and
coordination of the Treasury Department's general revenue sharing
functions, and for reimbursement ($2,800,000) to the Bureau of the
Census for the collection and tabulation of certain data needed to
compute the revenue sharing allocations. It also provides for the audit
responsibilities placed on the Department by the general revenue
sharing legislation.
The Department requested funding for 69 permanent positions
(41 average positions); however, testimony revealed that a certain
number of positions, for which funding was provided in the regular
appropriation bill, remain unfilled. Therefore, it is the sense of the
Committee that sufficient funds are allowed to implement the pro-
visions of the "State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972," when
enacted.
This appropriation shall be effective only upon enactment into law
of }LR. 14370, 92d Congress, or similar legislation.

The Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of
$1,000,000, the estimate and House allowance, for salaries and expenses
of the Council on International Economic Policy for the balance of
fiscal year 1973.
The Council was authorized in Title II of Public Law 92-412,
August 29, 1972, and its purpose is to provide a mechanism for the
coordination of all the many departments and agencies of the U.S.
Government which have responsibilities for limited portions of foreign
economic affairs and to provide the President better information to
meet current international economic issues.
The sum allowed provides for funding a total of 29 permanent
positions as requested.
The Committee notes that the total reliance on personnel detailed
from other agencies has hampered development of a well balanced
Council staff and directs that personnel on detail to the Council revert
to their parent organizations and military billets as soon as possible.
Testimony revealed that there are currently 27 people on detail from
other agencies.
Language permitting the Council exemption from the provisions of
law regulating the employment and compensation of persons in the
Government service is disallowed.

ted in the regular fiscal year 1973 Appropriation Act, will provide a
total of $26,856,000 for activities under this head during fiscal year
1973.
The amount recommended provides initial funds for implementation
of Section 224 of Public Law 92-255. Section 224 authorizes the
encouragement and promotion (by grants, contracts, or otherwise) of
expanded research programs to create, develop and test chemical
substances for use in the treatment of addiction. The Director is
authorized to establish, or provide for the establishment of, clinical
research facilities.
No additional positions over the 174 now on board were requested
and, accordingly, no additional positions are authorized to be funded
from this appropriation.

The amount recommended is considered sufficient for the imple-
mentation of Section 223 of Public Law 92-255, the Drug Abuse
Office and Treatment Act of 1972. Section 223 establishes a Special
Fund to be administered by the Director of the Special Action Office
to assist other Federal agencies in developing more effective drug
abuse prevention functions.
The Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention is charged
with the responsibility of assisting new and promising developments
over a wide range of programs and approaches: treatment and reha-
bilitation, prevention, support services, and other component parts.
of the overall strategy on drug abuse. Funds under Section 223 will
be used on an emergency basis to endeavor to close the treatment
gap now existing; and will conduct special studies in the area of drug
abuse prevention.
Section 223(c) of Public Law 92-255 provides that not to exceed
10 per centum of the sum appropriated under this head may be
expended by the Director of SAODAP through the Office to develop
and demonstrate promising new concepts or methods in respect of
drug abuse prevention functions.

The Committee concurs with the House in recommending a supple-
mental appropriation of $353,000, the budget estimate, for Salaries and
Expenses of the U.S. Tax Court. The amount recommended is to
provide for salaries and staffs of two retired Judges, recalled to perform
further judicial duties; two administrative clerical employees to handle
the processing of case records; procurement of space for the conduct
,of trial sessions throughout the United States; increased costs of
stenographic reporting services; and for professional contract services
for drafting the Court's new rules of practice and for the interior
design and specifications for equipment, furniture, furnishings and
accessories in the new Court Building.
Testimony before the Committee indicated that approximately
$175,000 of the amount requested is for professional services in connec-
tion with the interior design and drawing of specifications for equip-
ment, furniture, furnishings and accessories for the new Tax Court
building. The Committee regards this amount exceedingly high and
urges that GSA be consulted with a view toward minimizing the cost
and expediting completion of the Court's new facilities.

apparent or urgent need to reimburse the Fund at this time.

CLAIMS AND JUDGMENTS
The Committee concurs with the House in recommending an
appropriation of $54,743,725 for Claims and Judgments rendered
against the United States. This is the full amount of the budget
estimate.
Of this sum, $29,457,358 represents judgments rendered by the
U.S. Court of Claims, the U.S. District Courts, and the U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals; $25,171,367 represents damages and other types
of claims, the payments of which are due under various laws; and
$115,000 represents a compromise settlement.
The details with respect to these claims and judgments are con-
tained in H. Doc. 92-368 dated September 27, 1972.
CHAPTER XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 1101, providing that none of the appropriations contained
in this Act shall remain available for obligation beyond the current
fiscal year, was included in the bill by the House. This is a customary
general provision included in all appropriation bills.
EXECUTIVE DINING ROOMS
The following new General Provision has been added to the bill by
the Committee:
SEC. 1102. Each department, agency or corporation shall
report to the Congress no later than July 31, 1973, the total
amount of appropriated funds used for the support (direct or
indirect) of executive dining rooms or similar facilities dur-

liIt is the desire of the Committee to determine the extent to which
appropriated funds are used to support dining facilities where the
attendance is limited on the basis of grade or rank.
