Represenling Some of the Finest expenditures into line with sound budgetary ,estimates for federal obligations. Although it would -provide only half of the.six-year-program recommended by the President, it isunlike the Committee bill-geared to our ability to spend. llqnufgclurcrs of:

The Herlong bill has been critici zed by some because it would give..the Appropriations committee the right, where the expenditure of new federal funds is involvid, to approve such expenditures before instead of after thev ai.e made. I find it hard to argue against the logic of such control. It is properly a matter foi the Congreis to determine how it can best discharge its responsibilities in the spending of public funds.

Furthermore, I can see no difference in principle on this point between the two bills. The Committe. ^bill. in it. p.rgposal for _$100,000,000 in direct loans for housing for the elderly,_ would also require A_p_propriations co-mitte. ,p- proval before such money could be-used.

A sound domestic economy is important to our defense.
