that me legislation just enacted
is only a law’ to Authorize the
continuation of the ECA program.
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.
Think of it — federal govern
ment expendittires for the com
ing* fiscal year will amount *to
an average of almost exactly
$100 a month for each family of
four!
