McKay Says Bureau May Eventually Be Self-Sustaining Washington (U.R) Interior Secretary Douglas McKay said today the Interior Department "May eventually be self-sustaining" with the revenue it receives from power, oil, and gas re ceipts. McKay made the statement in an interview as a House Appro priations Subcommittee made public testimony by him and and other department officials in support of their request for an appropriation of 424,461,000 for the fiscal year beginning next July 1. Natural Resources "I like to think of the depart ment as the department of na tural resources," McKay said, "and we can make it a self-sustaining department if we take care of these resources." McKay said the department now is within about $80,000,000 of being self-sustaining. Rep. Mi chael J. Kirwan (D-O.), chairman of the subcommittee, claims the department now is "in the black" and "has more money coming in than we're putting into this bill." . Kirwan counted estimated net receipts from all funds which to tal 8428,191,348. This includes trust funds of $42,422,686 which do not belong to the Interior De partment. A large part of the trust funds is money the depart ment is holding for Indians and belongs to them. Receipts Lowered Knocking out the trust funds lowers the department's estimat ed 1956 receipts to.S385,768,662 or $38,692,894 less than the ap propriation request. McKay said this still is not a fair or "business-like" estimate of receipts because it includes things like duck stamp sales and repayments to the department on projects for which the gov ernment already has shelled out the money. McKay said he did not have the figure immediately available, but the difference be tween the proposed appropria tion and being self-sustaining probably was about $80,000,000. The largest income items for the Interior Department are the leases, rentals and royalties from oil, gas and minerals, and power revenues. One of the largest tunnels in the world is believed to be the Alva B. Adams irrigation tun nel in Colorado. It is nine feet in diameter and extends a dis tance of 13.1 miles.
