Don't you remember the Secretary of State coming back and saying he was accepted like a football hero walking into the hotels in Cairo They cheered him on. That is why I was wondering when you said you could not get anybody in the UAR. Mr. WELSH. We have been told by the State Department we cannot return that man there as yet. Senator HOLLINGS. You might look into it and check with Mr. Fergis over there. Mr. WELSH. We certainly will. FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS Senator HOLLINGS. For furniture and furnishings you are. requesting a total appropriation of $570,000, an increase of $220,000 over the fiscal year 1971 appropriation. How much of this amount is required to meet the expansion of the Congressional Research Service? Mr. ROSSITER. $135,000. Senator HOLLINGS. Is this total or just first-year estimate? Mr. ROSSITER. That is the first year estimate, sir. We have reduced our request to $70,000. Senator HOLLINGS. The four 16-millimeter projectors, six viewing screens for the motion picture section here on page 318, will you explain that requirement? Mr. CROXTON. I will be glad to, sir. Those are replacement equipments primarily. In the case of the four projectors, they are all replacement items for old DOD surplus equipment which is used to show films that are in our collections of motion picture films. The screens, of course, go with the projectors when they are used, and in some cases we need to put a screen permanently in a particular location. Senator HOLLINGS. You have increased demand from the Congress on this score? Mr. CROXTON. Yes, we do, sir. Senator HOLLINGS. What are some of them? Can you elaborate? Mr. CROXTON. Perhaps Mr. Berry can better than I in this case, since the motion picture section is in his department. Mr. BERRY. I think, Mr. Chairman, these are a combination of requests from members and committees to show films in connection with their official duties. Oftentimes they want to either show to visiting groups or in connection with committee activity a certain film or to project charts and graphs. JUSTIFICATION Senator HOLLINGS.
