Mr. President. you will recall that. when Congress passed the Federal Airport Act. last year. we provided authorization for the various Federal inspection agenciessuch as Customs. Immigration. and so forthto pay rent for the space they occupy at our gateway airports. The purpose of this action was clear. In the report on the bill. the committee stated that "it is a matter of simple equity for the Federal Government to bear the responsibility for assuming the costs it incurs in the execution of its duties." * The importance of this policy becomes all the more urgent in view of recent settlement of the airways user issue by imposition of a 5percent airways tax Which becomes effective November 15.
