EDITOR'S NOTE: The busi ness of providing money for the government to operate is get ting more complicated each year and Congress Is falling further and further behind In Its work. In the following arti cle, a top legislative reporter explains the situation. By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPD-Govern- ment outlays keep rising, and now approach record levels. You might think from this that Con gress had turned loose of the purse strings. Actually, the opposite is true. More and more of the members of Congress are demanding a hand in spending your money. It is partly because they have made the check-writing process such a tough one that Congress is falling further and further be hind in its work. In some cases there is reason to think this can actually cost the government and the taxpayer extra money. Resort Plans Sunday Event The Fort Creek Resort will cel ebrate a fifth anniversary Sun day, July 14, with open house and other features. The business is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Duane (Betty) Wood and Mr. and Mrs, M. Maynard (Sandra) Wood, who are actively operating the business. There will be free coffee and doughnuts for the adults and ice cream cones lor the children. A roast beef dinner will be served from 3:30 to 5:30 followed by ex hibition square dances by the Merry Mixers with Bill Mayhew caller. The resort has added a new recreation hall and large swim ming pool to the other numerous attractions. It is located on High way 62, two miles south of Fort Mamath. At Cane Canaveral, nurses make daily visits to the launch ing pads to give counsel, answer questions and demonstrate nrsi aid and self-aid techniques. The government's new year i Another considerable factor is fiscal 1964 they call it started that more and more of the other Julv 1. But as of today only one House and Senate committees of the dozen appropriation bills j the so-called legislative commit that are necessary to keep thc.tees-are getting into the act government running during the year had been passed and sent to the White House. It covers the Treasury and Post Office Departments and amounts to only $6 billion of the more than $100 billion required for all the federal functions. In Various Stages The rest of the appropriations bills are in various stages and they will not all have become law tor months. Meantime an agencies not funded must make do with a continuing resolution that allows them to drag along at a base rate but precludes the start of anything new. This happens, to one degree or another, every year. But over the years it gets worse. One reason is that the government gets big ger and the annual examinations of House and Senate Appropria tions Committees get longer. 4 I D.

Every year or so tliey persuade House and Senate to add some thing new to the areas in which an annual authorization bill must precede the annual appropriation Authorizations are old stuff in Congress, in such fields, for in stance, as public works projects. However, since World War II a trend has developed toward re quiring yearly authorizations for what formerly were considered normal government functions. All Wrapped Up The armed services committees got a grip first on military con struction projects. Later they claimed authorization rights on procurement of planes, missiles and ships. Last year they cot Congress to bring into their scope research and development related to planes, missiles and ships. Starting next year, all military research and development will be brought under the authorization tent. The Treasury-Post Office ap propriations traditionally has been about the first of the bunch to be passed. Treasury includes the Coast Guard. And the Mer chant Marine committees have decided they want a say here after in Coast Guard "acquisition and construction" items. Con gress this year approved that re quest. So starting next year Treasury - Post Office may be slowed up along with the rest. mere is talk that commerce committees may push throuch legislation requiring a prior leg islative oKay on moncv bills for the public health service. Other new authorization requirements are also under discussion.
