No further costs are estimated under this activity. 3. Construction.-This activity includes the construction of laboratories and other buildings, including mechanical and electrical equipment, special laboratory services, site development, and utilities. Costs estimated for 1966 reflect continued activity on the items included in the third construction increment as well as activities under new contracts for special-purpose laboratory buildings. 4. Equipment.-Estimated costs for major scientific facilities for 1966 are primarily for long lead-time equipment financed in prior years. These facilities will be donated to the Bureau's Working capital fund and no depreciation charged against their use. The 1964 budget completed the financing of equipment for the new facilities. The smaller items will be purchased through investment of the working capital and the cost will be recovered by depreciation charges made during the expected useful life of the respective items. Payment of $9,250 thousand from the Construction of facilities appropriation to the Working capital fund to provide the necessary capital has been authorized. 5. Moving and occupancy. This activity includes the costs of moving and installing scientific apparatus as well as certain furnishings for offices, library, cafeteria, and Estimated costs for 1966 are for moving and occupancy associated with the general purpose laboratories.
