That bill did not appropriate the money. Many people, including some members of congress, have taken the attitude that the sum named in the authorization bill is the amount we are putting into the4 ECA program. That is not the ’ fact. The actual appropriation bill comes later. I did what I could to keep the record straight on this point by taking the floor. A portion of my statement to the house, follows: “ 1 feel satisfied to vote for the bill as a continuation of a program we have started but the record must clearly show, and the people of the country must clearly understand that we are not today dealing with an appropriation item but we are m it mg a figure which is a maxi mum for the program” I feel certain the appropriation for ECA will be considerably less than the five and one-half bil lion figure in the bill. budget for the next fiscal year. The total budget, the amount of money to be spent by our federal government during the 12 months beginning July 1 this year is 42 billions, in round numbers. This, divided by the total population, esstimated at 140,000,000, equals a cost of $300 per person.
