In accordance with clause 2a, rule 13, there is inserted in this report, section 6 of Public Act 186, Seventy-sixth Congress, approved July 17, 1939, which is amended by this measure (the amendatory language in italic and the repealed section enclosed in black brackets):
"SEC. 6. The Commission shall transmit to Congress on or before January 3, [1941] 1942, a detailed statement of the manner of expenditure of any funds appropriated pursuant to the authorization contained in this Act."
Federal participation in the celebration of the four-hundredth anniversary of the explorations of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was authorized under provisions of Public Act No. 186, Seventy-sixth Congress. This anniversary is being observed in the States of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Inasmuch as Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and his expedition did not reach the territory which has since become the States of Oklahoma and Kansas until the year following his exploration of the others, those two States have made arrangements to celebrate the anniversary in 1941 instead of 1940.
This measure simply makes it possible for the United States Coronado Exposition Commission to carry out the original intention of the Congress by extending for 1 year the time for filing its report, and thereby enabling it to cooperate with the States of Oklahoma and Kansas in the observance of the anniversary.
