Independent Agencies Funds Trimmed In House Action
The House appropriations committee cut 330.54 million dollars from federal agency budgets in approving an 8.498 billion dollar bill for next year, reducing total funding 3.9 percent from Truman’s request. Major cuts hit independent agencies including the Atomic Energy Commission, Federal Trade Commission, and Federal Works Agency, while the Veterans Administration faced a smaller reduction. The measure aims to save about 3.58 billion dollars in the 1948 budget battle. The committee emphasizes no immediate harm to veterans benefits and notes potential future funding if needed.
