War time appropriations and authorizations totals
Total war period appropriations and authorizations reach about 57 billion dollars with 10 billion in loans to foreign governments.

Representative Sherley notes most savings come from the War Department especially ordnance. He cautions contract authorizations do not imply cancellations, but are unobligated amounts. Hearings on recoverable funds are not near completion and a bill is not expected before January 1.
