This appropriation consolidates all activities related to the planning, construction, and equipping of buildings and facilities for the Food and Drug Administration. Since 1957, the Food and Drug Administration, in collaboration with the General Services Administration, has been engaged in a program to improve and enlarge its field facilities. Improvements have been provided for 11 of the 18 FDA district offices of which all but 1 have been done through the leasing of privately owned facilities. Hereafter, it is proposed to provide the necessary facilities for the remaining 7 districts through direct Federal construction. The program proposed for 1964 calls for: 1. Construction of additional laboratory facilities at headquarters to augment the new laboratory building (Federal Office Building No. 8) now under construction. Planning for these facilities will be completed in 1964. 2. Construction of a special dog whelping facility to complement the Pharmacological-Animal Laboratory Building at Beltsville, Md., now under construction. 3. Development, in 1964, of plans and specifications for the construction of 7 field laboratory-office buildings at the following locations: Chicago, Ill.; Denver, Colo.; New Orleans, La.; Philadelphia, Pa.; St. Louis, Mo.; San Francisco, Calif.; and Seattle, Wash. It is expected that construction for the offices located at Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, and Seattle will commence in 1964.
