In Washington, the House Republican leaders cut roughly 56 million dollars from Truman’s budget requests affecting 19 independent agencies. The Appropriations Committee proposed 991 million for 1949, about five percent under the president’s request, reclaiming 3.1 million in unspent funds. They criticized the budget bureau for delays in reducing personnel costs, noting a high ratio of personnel officers to workers compared with private industry. The panel’s reductions barely touch the total and argue that postwar demands justify economy measures.
