STATEMENT OF THE MANAGERS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

The managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill (H. R. 4177) making appropriations for the Executive Office and sundry independent executive bureaus, boards, commissions, corporations, agencies, and offices, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, and for other purposes, submit the following report in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon and recommended in the accompanying conference report as to each of such amendments, namely:

Amendments Nos. 1 and 2, relating to the Bureau of the Budget: Strikes out the proposal of the House to fix the salary of the Director at $12,000 per annum, as proposed by the Senate; and appropriates $3,300,000 for salaries and expenses, instead of $3,314,500 as proposed by the Senate, and $2,983,050, as proposed by the House.

Amendment No. 3: Appropriates $300,000 for salaries and expenses, Council of Economic Advisers, as proposed by the House, instead of $340,000, as proposed by the Senate.

Amendments Nos. 4 and 5, relating to the American Battle Monuments Commission: Authorizes the purchase of two passenger motor vehicles, including one at not to exceed $2,500, instead of one, as proposed by the House, and three, including one at not to exceed $2,500, as proposed by the Senate.

Amendment No. 6: Continues available unexpended balances of the Atomic Energy Commission as of June 30, 1949, as proposed by the Senate, instead of continuing available unobligated balances, as proposed by the House. It is the recommendation of the conferees that in the expenditure or commitment of funds or contract authorization provided in the bill, the Commission shall adhere to the program break-down set forth in the budget estimates, after applying reductions made therein by the Congress on a proportionate basis, and that in no event shall the Commission, through transfer, exceed by more than 10 percent the amount allocated under said budget estimates, as revised, for any particular program. It was further agreed that in the event the Commission proposes an increase in the allocation for any program it shall immediately advise the Committees on Appropriations of the House and the Senate, giving details and the reasons for such transfer. The conference committee has noted with concern what appears to be excessive fees for management services being paid by the Commission to management corporations and directs that an immediate effort be made by the Commission to accomplish substantial reductions in such fees or their elimination.

Amendments Nos. 7 and 71⁄2 are reported in disagreement. Amendment No. 8: Strikes out the proposal of the House to provide salaries for the Commissioners of the Civil Service Commission at $12,000 each per annum, as proposed by the Senate.
