The chairman will be present later. As we begin the hearings on the Independent Offices and Department of Housing and Urban Development appropriation bill for 1968, there are a few changes in the bill that are worth noting: The name of the bill is changed to Independent Offices and Department of Housing and Urban Development Appropriation Act, 1968. The Federal Aviation Agency has been transferred to the Department of Transportation. along with the safety activities from the Civil Aeronautics Board and from the Interstate Commerce Commission. The General Accounting Office has been transferred to the legislative appropriation bill. The National Capital Housing Authority is omitted from the bill, to allow operating and maintenance expenses on their properties to be funded from rental receipts, on the same basis as other housing authorities throughout the country. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is omitted from the bill, pending enactment of the pending annual authorization. The Appalachian Regional Commission is omitted from the bill, pending consideration of legislation revising and extending the development act, which would authorize funds to be appropriated to the President and distributed through the Commission. I call your attention to these changes at this time because this is the first meeting of this committee this year. 1 |
