KELLY, BUDGET OFFICER, HEW PAYMENTS TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND ASSISTANCE FOR SCHOOL Mr. FOGARTY. We have two supplemental requests for the Office of Education to consider, contained in House Document No. 88. One is for payments to school districts and the other for school construction. At this point we will insert the pertinent parts of House Document No. 88. PAYMENTS TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS "For an additional amount for Payments to school districts', $20,000,000." Public Law 732, approved August 31, 1954, postponed until the fiscal year 1956 application of a provision in Public Law 248, approved August 8, 1953, requiring school districts to absorb a greater portion of the impact of Federal activities on school attendance. It is chiefly for this reason that a proposed supplemental appropriation of $20 million is needed to provide full payments in the current fiscal year to all eligible school districts for maintenance and operation of school facilities.
