Speech #800205668

Of course. as everyone knows. we not only had to put the $800.000.000 back. but we have had to appropriate a good deal more and the Government has been put to inconvenience. and the time of the committee and the Congress has been taken up with the additional hearings and other complications involved in processing these additional estimates and appropriations. Likewise. in the drafting of the pending bill we have been compelled to consider estimates and hold hearings on items which should have been carried in the annual supply bills. For example. in this bill we are including amounts which have been cut from former bills and which are replacements of amounts requested in previous estimates. as follows: In the Department of Justice. salaries and expenses in the field. $38.000. Salaries and expenses of marshals. $80.000. Fees of witnesses. $50.000. Immigration and Nationalization Service. $2.390.000. Eradication of footand-.mouth disease. $25.400.000. In the Post Office Department: Printing and binding. $25.000.
