House Group Slashes Atomic Agency Funds
Washington June 11 The Atomic Energy Commission bore the brunt of the budget slash drive as the House Appropriations Committee approved administration out of half a billion dollars for AEC funds. The bill would set next year’s AEC at 1 057,786,600 against this year’s 4,124,821,500 and at odds with Truman’s request of 1 592,769,000 and Eisenhower’s 1 096,000,000. The overall four-agency total drops 18 percent to 5,294,369,664. The bill also adds funds for Selective Service Veterans Administration and TVA. Not all revisions were downward, with six million more than Truman and 31 million more than Eisenhower for veterans hospitals. VA, Selective Service, and TVA allocations are detailed, while AEC weapons and reactor programs face cuts. McCarthy accuses Lehman of abusing mail privileges with Creeping McCarthyism pamphlets under congressional frank. Lehman defends himself and challenges McCarthy to show his mail records.
