ly approved a Waue Stabilization
Board plan' for settling the steel

and some public power projects.
The reduction, carrying out the
recommendations of the subcom
mittee headed by Rep. Klrwan CD

per cent in the budget estimates
and a cut of seven per cent below
the current year level of spending.

flected "determination to hold to
a minimum program during the
present critical period in which the
conservation of dollars: is so Im
portant." The committee lopped $48,148,574
from the $122,350,000. budget re
quest for the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs. The sharpest reduction came in
construction work, with the com
mittee approving only $5,310,000
compared with $35,856,000 asked
for.
However, the ' $74,201,426 ap
proved for the bureau was slight
ly above the $71,343,912 appropri
ated for the present year.
The committee recommended
$181,255,400 for the Reclamation
Bureau, a cut of $43,364,600 below
the $224,620,000 - budget request.
Nearly all of the reduction for the
Reclamation Bureau was for -construction
- work. . . . , -. i
The budget asked for $194,720,
000 for construction but this was
cut to $153,355,400, . a reduction of
$41,364,000. .
The committee turned thumbs
down on funds for any new con
struction work.
A total of $42,494,037 was rec
ommended for the office of terri
tories, a reduction of $30,470563
below the budget estimate. This
$2,078,067- above . the. current year
appropriation.
The bulk of this came in a re
duction of 13 million dollars from
the 20 millions asked for Alaska
public works and a cut of $12,
094,000 from the 16 millions re
quested for construction work on
the Alaska Railroad.

tion, the committee approved $66,
523,400 compared with the $70,286,
400 budget estimate.
