That is not an unfamiliar situation for the subcommittee and committee. How to responsibly respond to national needs in the absence of regular authorizing law is a question we have faced for a number of years. a dozen in one instance. For example. there is no authorization for all. or parts of. the Economic Development Administration. the Minority Business Development Agency. the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. the Federal Bureau of Investigation. the Drug Enforcement Administration. the Immigration and Naturalization Service. the Federal Communications Commission. the Federal Trade Commission. and the International Trade Commission. The committee has reserved budget authority to be used in funding these unauthorized programs. We hope this can be used during the House/Senate conference to address some of the urgent national needs with which we would have dealt had the regular authorization been in place.
