The committee will come to order. SUPPLEMENTAL ESTIMATES FOR 1958 We will now take up the items in House Document No. 313 which apply to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, I will ask the clerk to have the pertinent portion of the document placed in the record at this point. (The matter referred to is as follows:) DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE ASSISTANCE FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION "For an additional amount for 'Assistance for school construction', $57,000,000; and the limitation under said head in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Appropriation Act, 1958, on the amount available for necessary expenses of technical services rendered by other agencies is increased from ‘$700,000' to '$800,000': Provided, That the amounts heretofore appropriated under this head shall be merged with this appropriation and shall remain available until expended: Provided further, That payments from such merged appropriation may be made with respect to applications under title III of the Act of September 23, 1950, as amended, filed on or before November 18, 1957, prior to any subsequent cut-off date established under such title III, and without including such applications in an order of priority with those filed after November 18, 1957."

The proposed increase in limitation is to permit an additional $100,000 to be transferred to the Housing and Home Finance Agency for technical services in connection with the review of construction financed under this program. The recommended language provisions would eliminate delay in processing and payments on eligible applications now on hand, and would also merge all funds provided for this purpose.
