Appropriation Bill
Fills 3 Volumes
By Arthur Edson
WASHINGTON. — (/P) —A rec
ord-making inside story of how
Congress works came out today.
It’s a three-v’olume set contain
ing 4,708 well-filled pages. The
bool s are paper bound, but they
still weigh a hefty 10 pounds, 8
ounces. '
Even the name of the book is
massive. Take a deep breath, and
we'll plunge into it:
I “Hearings Before the Subcom
j mittee of the Committee on Ap
; propriations. House of Repres
: entatives. Eightieth Congress, Sec
I ond Session, on the Interior De
| partment Appropriation Bill for
1948.”
It may be the least read book
!of 1948.
Harry Mecm of the Govern
ment Printing Office told a re
porter he figures he’ll be lucky
if he sells 20 sets at around $12
a set.
Yet the book is an excellent
illustration of how Congress op
erates.
