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.

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.
