lation draft to the Senate, Secret- '
ary Krug stated, in part: "With
reconversion and the reestablish
ment of civilian activity, it is
reasonable to expect that the de
mand for these materials and re
sources will continue and most
likely increase. The enactment
of the proposed bill would ex
pressly authorize this department
to meet these demands consist
ent with sound conservation prin
ciples and on a revenue-producing
basis."
