House defers funds for resources planning board action
The House is expected to concur in a decision to deny further funds for the resources planning board as it reviews a 6.23 billion dollar deficiency appropriation bill for the Maritime Commission and other agencies. The board is led by Frederick A. Delano, the president’s uncle. The Senate appropriations Committee, mirroring the House, omits a 200 thousand dollar item approved to finance board operations through June 30. The House had previously denied agency funds for the new fiscal year starting July 1 in another appropriations bill not yet reviewed by the Senate committee.
