Congress investigates rising spend on investigative staff
The 30th Congress costs were nine million and will rise to eighty five million in the 96th Congress, an eighty five hundred percent increase. The Rules Committee grew from seven to forty staff members. Expenditures climbed from 150 thousand to over one million seven hundred forty thousand for House Administration. Staff counts rose from 122 to 284 from 1973 to 1979. Duplication and costly computer services prompt calls to cut funding and curb inflation. The speaker notes will push for reductions as votes increase.
