The Deficiency Appropriation Act of 1964 appropriated $17 million under this additional authorization. These funds are to enable the President (a) to make grants to the State to assist in financing normal and extraordinary State and local government functions during a period when revenues would be curtailed and (b) to finance continued Federal operation for an interim period of functions to be transferred to the State. In the past the State has requested the Federal Government to continue to operate certain intermediate airports and allocations have been made to the Federal Aviation Agency for this purpose. It is expected that the State will assume the operation of most of these facilities during 1965 and 1966.

Due to the imminent exhaustion of this borrowing authority, a direct appropriation of $108 million was enacted in 1959 to partially cover the losses incurred, providing cumulative financing authority of $2,208 million.

The progam is conducted primarily through a revolving fund financed by borrowings from the Treasury. The amount borrowed may not exceed $2.1 billion outstanding at any one time, but the act permits contingent liabilities to be considered as obligations only to the extent of the probable ultimate net costs to the United States, rather than in the full amount of the gross commitments outstanding. To the extent that money must be expended to fulfill commitments even though the expenditures are considered to be ultimately recoverable (through repayment of loans and sale of inventories, for example), portions of the borrowing Expenditures are limited to programs certified as essential to the national defense by the Office of Emergency Planning. As one of the inducements for expanding production most of the contracts provide a guaranteed market for the production from expanded facilities. Significant amounts of materials have been delivered to the Defense Production Act inventory under these contracts. Investment in inventory of $1,464 million on June 30, 1964, is expected to decrease to $1,346 million by June 30, 1966. Progress has been made in disposing of Defense Production Act materials primarily by sales to other Government agencies and industry and steps are being taken to increase and accelerate the disposal program for these materials wherever this can be accomplished without undue effects on the market.

The expansion program has been completed, with the major problems now being custody, maintenance, and eventual disposition of the materials and facilities. The exercise of option rights by contractors has been examined with a view to reducing deliveries to the Government as far as possible within the terms of the contracts whenever July 1, 1957, and June 30, 1964, a reduction of $449.1 basic stockpiling objectives have been attained. Between million in gross commitments was attained through renegotiation of contracts. |
