VA Budget
WASHINGTON, (/H — The
House appropriations committee
trimmed $130,884,220 from vote -
ans Administration funds today in
approving an $8,498,409,759 bill to
finance 33 independent govern
ment agencies next year.
The total cut amounted to $330 -
540,732, or 3.9 per cent below t ie
Amount President Truman asked.
This brought to approximately
$3,580,000,000 the claimed savings
of House Republicans in their
drive to chop $6,000,000,000 from
Mr. Truman’s 1948 budget of
$37,500,000,000.
The Veterans Administration,
however, was pared only 1.8 per
cent in getting' $6,944,457,080 for
its work during the 12 months be
ginning July 1.
Among major recipients cover
ed by the bill are the office of the
President, not cut at all; the atom
ic energy commission, reduced 30
per cent; the civil service com
mission, cut less than one per
cent; the federal communications
commission, trimmed 17 per cent:
the federal power commission, cut
12 per cent; the federal trade com
mission, reduced almost one-third;
the federal works agency, cut 12
per cent, and the interstate com
merce commission, trimmed 10
per cent.
Even the President’s own bud
get bureau was cut, receiving
$93,392 less than the $3,470,000 it
had asked.
The maritime commission drew
a stern rebuke from the committee
for its accounting and general ad
ministrative practices.
