Federal Airport
Act
Alaska stands to lose $9,9
00,000 through the veto this
week by President Eisen
hower of the bill to extend
the Federal Airport Act to
June 30, 1963.
The measure sent to the
W hite House the week of ad
journment of the 85th Con
gress would have extended
the program, due to expire
next June 30, for four more
years and would have in
creased the authority grant
ed to the Secretary of Com
meree obligating funds for
matching purposes to assist
the states, Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the \ irgiu
Islands in developing a nat
ional system of public air
port projects.
The original law was en
acted in 1946 at which time
Delegate Bartlett was suc
cessful in obtaining approval
of a special formula for Alas
ka. Under the program the
public land states put up 37Vfe
percent of the cost of a given
project, the federal govern
ment allocating the remain
ing 62% percent. The other
states, Puerto Rico and Ha
waii receive funds under a
50-50 m a t c h i n g formula,
while the formula for Alaska,
later extended to the Virgin
Islands, allocates 75 percent
in federal funds to the cost of
a project, with Alaska con
tributing 25 percent. Since
the 1947 fiscal year, the fed
eral allocation for Alaska has
amounted to $7,284,922, in
cluding $1,350,00 for the pre
sent fical year, allowing fav
orable consideration of ap
proximately 102 projects
throughout t h e Territory.

the President would have
made available an additional
$900,000 for the present, or
1959 fiscal year, and $2,250,
000 a year for the 1960, 1961,
1962 and 1963 fiscal years for
a total of $9,900,000.
In passing the measure,
the Congress approved lang
uage which would have per
mitted the continuation ot
the special 75-25 formula for
Alaska under statehood.
