The committee will now please come to order. Gentlemen, we shall this morning direct our attention to the committee print at page 372 thereof, and the item entitled "Arms Control and Disarmament Agency," arms control and disarmament activities. This is a request in the amount of $8.3 million, which would be a decrease of $1.2 million below the amount of $9.5 million appropriated for these activities the current fiscal year. Are you not in good favor at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the Bureau of the Budget? Mr. SMITH. We do our best. I think they respect what we are trying to do. Mr. ROONEY. You mean you suggested the reduction of $1.2 million? Mr. SMITH. No, we acquiesced. Mr. ROONEY. You could hardly do otherwise. How much did you ask for? Mr. SMITH. We asked for the same as last year. Mr. ROONEY. That is all? Mr. SMITH. $9.5 million. Mr. SIKES. We do not find many in Government who attempt to make out with what they had last year, Mr. Chairman. Mr. ROONEY. We shall at this point in the record insert pages 1 through 12 of the justifications. (Pages referred to follow:) (1) |
