85TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. R. 6456 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MARCH 28, 1957 Mr. DOLLINGER introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce A BILL To amend section 304 (d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, with respect to the disposition of certain imported articles which have been seized and condemned. 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 3 That subsection (d) of section 304 of the Federal Food, 4 Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended (21 U. S. C. 334 5 (d)), is hereby amended by inserting immediately before 6 the last sentence thereof a new sentence as follows: "If 7 the article was imported into the United States and the per8 son seeking its release establishes (1) that the adulteration, 9 misbranding, or violation did not occur after the article was 10 imported, and (2) that he had no cause for believing that I 2 1 it was adulterated, misbranded, or in violation before it was 2 released from customs custody, the court may permit the 3 article to be delivered to the owner for exportation in lieu 4 of destruction upon a showing by the owner that all of the 5 conditions of section 801 (d) can and will be met: Provided, 6 however, That the provisions of this sentence shall not apply 7 where condemnation is based upon violation of section 402 8 (a) (1), (2), or (6), section 501 (a) (3), section 502 9 (j), or section 601 (a) or (d): And provided further, 10 That where such exportation is made to the original foreign 11 supplier, then clauses (1) and (2) of section 801 (d) and 12 the foregoing proviso shall not be applicable; and in all cases of exportation the bond shall be conditioned that the 14 article shall not be sold or disposed of until the applicable 15 conditions of section 801 (d) have been met.” 13 To amend section 804 (d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, with respect to the disposition of certain imported articles which have been seized and condemned. 1957 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -HOUSE The Department purchased $8,500,000 worth of buildings overseas in 1956, $19 million in 1957 and the request for 1958 is $20 million. At the same time, the overseas rental and utility costs for the Department went from $1,755,701 in 1956 to $1,866,895 in 1957 to a requested $2,230,802 for 1958. Uncle Sam's Government is a big and growing operation and his hunger for bigger and better ofice buildings seems to be unquenchable. The supersecret Central Intelligence Agency, about which only a few select ofcials know anything, is going to get a new home in Washington. Cost: $49 million. The money was appropriated in this year's budget, but the bulk of it is to be spent in 1958 or later. Not even the plans will be completed until late this calendar year. The Smithsonian Institution is going to get a new Museum of History and Technology. Cost: $33,712,000. This money also was provided in the 1957 budget, but less than $2 million has been spent and the plans are still in the works. Construction cannot be started until temporary buildings are removed from the site selected for the museum. Even the Federal flowers are headed for a new home. There's a new appropriation request of $587,000 in the 1958 budget so that the greenhouses of the Botanic Garden can be relocated. FULL DISCUSSION WOULD FILL SHELF This has admittedly been a sketchy review of this magnificent volume entitled "The Budget of the United States Government for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1958." A truly adequate discussion would all a library shelf. A simple taxpayer could not even understand the necessity for spending hundreds of millions on a bomber that might be outmoded before it flies.. But we hope we've given you a general idea. After reading through this budget, we feel as though we've finally achieved the life ambition of every literate adult and read War and Peace.
