No Mem. her of the House can knowingly say. There is a fundamental difference between appropriating money and simply authorizing its expenditure. as this bill apparently does. All we know or can tell is that $165.000.000 of public funds are to be expended by the Secretary of the Treasury. $50.000.000 of the amount is to be used. "To provide suitable accommodations in the DiStrict of Columbia for executive departments. and Independent establishments of the Govermnent not under any executive department." and the balance. $115.000.000. " For courthouses. post offices. immigration stations. customhouses. marine hospitals. quarantine stations. and other public buildings--ia the States. Territories. and possessions of the United States." No Member of the House can tell what buildings are contemplated. Only the Secretary of the Treasury can determine.
