mittee that all disbursements made from the appropriation for "Miscellaneous items" must receive my personal approval, and also the approval of the Committee on House Administration. REPORTING HEARINGS For stenographic reports of committee hearings, other than special and select committees, $150,000, the same as appropriated for 1961. Mr. STEED. At that point, do you have any figures as to what is actually spent on this item? It is a fairly stable sum and I wondered what is actually spent for the stenographic reporting of hearings? Mr. HARPER. I have a breakdown of how this runs by committees through April 13. Mr. STEED. If we could have that for the record, but I also would like to have the grand total. Mr. HARPER. Let me insert in the record the up-to-date figures on that. Mr. STEED. And give how much was spent last year. (The information requested follows:) For fiscal 1960 there was appropriated $150,000. We used $118,295.30, leaving a balance of $31,704.70. For fiscal 1961 there was appropriated $150,000. We have used $8,012.92, leaving a balance at March 31, 1961 of $141,987.08. SPECIAL AND SELECT COMMITTEES Mr. ROBERTS. For the information of the committee, we submit for the record a tabulated statement showing the various committee investigations authorized during the 86th and 87th Congresses, corrected to March 31, 1961.

The committee should take into consideration that the authorizations are on a session or term basis, whereas the appropriations are on a fiscal year basis. The total authorization for the 86th Congress amounted to $5,797,000. The total authorized for the 87th Congress as of March 31, 1961, totals $4,989,000. Mr. STEED.
