Finish Action On Spending Bills As Fiscal Year Ends
Congressional clerks pushed to the President for signature on more than 4.0 billion dollars in appropriations as the old fiscal year ended. House members left at 10:39 pm EST and the Senate adjourned at 10:44. The session cleared key spending bills and expanded the Commodity Credit Corporation, bringing total appropriations this session near 40 billion dollars. Major measures sent to Roosevelt included relief and farm bills, a labor and security department supply bill, a deficiency bill, and a DC and Congress maintenance appropriation. The CCC was authorized for two more years with lending power rising to 2.65 billion. If signed today, funds would not lapse. A prior deadlock over farm versus relief funds led to trimming 35.9 million from the farm bill and adding 25 million to relief.
