House Debate House Committee Report House Report 1776, Page 31 AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS Section 121(a) of the reported bill authorizes the appropriations to carry out this title (other than those related to tire safety). These authorizations are not to exceed $11 million for fiscal year 1967, $17 million for fiscal year 1968, and $23 million for the fiscal year 1969. Section 121(b) of the reported bill authorizes not to exceed $2,900,000 for fiscal year 1967, and $1,450,000 for each of the fiscal years 1968 and 1969 to carry out the tire safety provisions in this title, including the requirements of title II of this bill. The committee has increased the amounts authorized to carry out this bill over those originally requested in the introduced bill. These increases are necessary in large part because the legislation as reported now requires mandatory standards, covers all motor vehicles rather than exempting trucks, buses, and certain commercial vehicles, and will, in the not too distant future, require uniform Federal standards as to used cars. These amounts are maximum authorizations and the Secretary will have to justify his requests for funds to the appropriation committees. The committee has included a title in the reported bill specifically related to tire standards. Tires are deemed to be a significant element in the total traffic safety problem. Although they are a part of the larger problem, special study and attention will be required. Therefore the committee provides, at least for the first 3 years of the program, separate authorizations to carry out the provisions of this bill relating to tires.
