MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION,

MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1968

U.S. SENATE,

SUBCOMMITTEES ON MILITARY CONSTRUCTION
OF THE COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES

AND THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS,

Washington, D.C.

The Military Construction Subcommittees of the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations met in joint session at 10:10 o'clock a.m., in room 212, Old Senate Office Building. Present: Senators Jackson (chairman), Bible (cochairman Ellender, Yarborough, Inouye, Young of North Dakota, and Thurmond.

Also present: From Senate Armed Services Committee: Gordon A. Nease, professional staff member; Charles B. Kirbow, chief clerk, and Herbert S. Atkinson, assistant chief clerk.

From the Appropriations Committee: Vorley M. Rexroad, professional staff member, and Edmund L. Hartung, minority counsel. Senator JACKSON. The committee will come to order.

We are meeting this morning to begin hearings on the military construction authorization bill for fiscal year 1969 and, as we did last year, in joint session with the Subcommittee on Military Construction of the Appropriations Committee of which Senator Bible is chairman. This procedure worked out very well last year and I believe conserved the time of the various committee members and certainly that of the departmental witnesses. Copies of the bills will be included in the record at this point.
