Stevenson III (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senator Stevenson. Also present: Gene E. Godley, general counsel; and Carolyn W Johnson, minority staff director. Senator STEVENSON. The hearing of the Subcommittee on Busines Commerce, and Judiciary will be in order. This morning's hearing concerns five bills, three of which are a part of the District of Columbia's legislative program. Another of the bills has already passed the House of Representatives, and the fifth has a deadline of the end of the year. The latter bill conforms certain provisions dealing with trusts and charitable organizations to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The three bills which are a part of the District's legislative program are S. 1367, the District of Columbia Freeway Air Space Utilization Act, which has had hearings before this committee in the last two Congresses and passed the Senate last year. S. 2204 is the District of Columbia Administrative Improvements Act which incorporates several administrative changes in one bill; and S. 1362, which would authorize the District Government to pay its share of costs of the Potomac River Reservoirs providing water to the District. S. 2409 is a bill which facilitates the amendment of certain charitable trusts and foundations so as to bring them into conformity with the Tax Reform Act of 1969 by the December 31 deadline which I mentioned. H.R. 10383, the District Professional Corporation Act, enables professional individuals and firms to obtain the benefits of corporate organization-benefits which are allowed in all of the 50 States. We hope that we can facilitate the consideration of these measures which are on the whole, I believe, noncontroversial, by hearing them all this morning at this hearing. I now place in the record copies of the five bills and the executive communications concerning them. (The bills and communications referred to follow :) (1) 92D CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. 1362 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES MARCH 24 (legislative day, MARCH 23), 1971 Mr. STEVENSON (by request) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia A BILL To authorize the Commissioner of the District of Columbia to enter into contracts for the payment of the District's equitable portions of the costs of reservoirs on the Potomac River and its tributaries, and for other purposes. 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 3 That the Commissioner of the District of Columbia is hereby 4 authorized to contract, within an amount specified in a 5 District of Columbia Appropriation Act, with the United 6 States, any State in the Potomac River Basin, any agency 7 or political subdivision thereof, and any other competent 8 State or local authority, with respect to the payment by 9 the District of Columbia to the United States, either directly II 2 1 or indirectly, of the District's equitable share of any part 2 or parts of the non-Federal portion of the costs of any reser 3 voirs authorized by the Congress for construction on the 4 Potomac River or any of its tributaries.
