1966 APPROPRIATIONS AND 1967 BUDGET REQUESTS AND HOUSE ALLOWANCE Senator MONRONEY. The Subcommittee on Legislative Appropriations will be in session.

We will next consider the items falling under the jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol. The total estimates for the Architect of the Capitol amount to $14,372,600, which is $12,508,000 under the 1966 appropriation. I am placing in the record a table showing the appropriations for fiscal year 1966, the estimates for fiscal year 1967, and the amount of the House allowances. As is the practice, the House did not consider the Senate items in the bill.

1967 BUDGET REQUEST SUMMARY

I also have a general statement summarizing our 1967 appropriation requests, as follows:

For 1966, appropriations totaling $25,640,100 have been provided under the Architect of the Capitol in the regular annual Appropriation Act, and $1,340,500 in the Supplemental and Second Supplemental Appropriation Acts, 1966-a total of $26,980,600. For 1967, a total of $14,372,600 was requested in the original budget-a net decrease of $12,608,000, resulting from a gross increase of $1,652,100, offset by decreases totaling $14,260,100.

GROSS INCREASE

The gross increase of $1,652,100 requested for 1967 results from increases of $365,760 in the item of "Personal services"; $96,840 in other annual maintenance items; and $1,189,500 in nonrecurring maintenance items.

STATUTORY PAY INCREASES AND OVERTIME AND HOLIDAY PAY

Of the $365,760 in the item of "Personal services," $199,917 is for increased pay costs for wage board employees required by Public Law 763, 83d Congress; $29,705 for increased pay costs authorized by Public Law 89-301, Federal Employees Salary Act of 1965; $23,088 for within-grade salary advancements and other changes authorized by the Classification Act of 1949, as amended; $20,000 for overtime and holiday pay increased costs; $93,050 for 17 additional positions2 for salaries, Office of the Architect of the Capitol, 8 for the Capitol Grounds, and 7 for the House Office Buildings.

CAPITOL BUILDINGS AMENDMENT

Since this statement was prepared, as a result of discussion with the House Appropriations Committee a budget amendment increase of $100,000 was submitted to that committee in House Document 445, May 26, 1966, under the "Capitol Buildings" appropriation item, for continuation of the program of improving illumination and the renewal of wiring in the Capitol Building, carried forward from 1958 to 1966 under the extension of the Capitol program.

This amendment had the effect of increasing the total budget requests detailed on pages 1, 2 and 3 of our prepared justification from $14,372,600 to $14,472,600; and of changing the net decrease under the 1966 appropriations from $12,608,000 to $12,508,000.

HOUSE ALLOWANCE

Of the total budget requests of $14,472,600, the House has allowed $11,739,700. In addition, the House allowed two items, not covered by budget requests, totaling $73,000 under the "Capitol Buildings" appropriation item-making the grand total allowed by the House, $11,812,700.
