Letter From Washington on Veterans Aid and Albany Lab Plans

The Interior Department appropriation bill moves to the House floor after two months of sub committee hearings. I urged funds for Bonneville transmission lines and Albany Laboratory expansion for electrochemical and non metallic research. I urged building two facilities at Albany and noted wartime park maintenance cuts and increased park travel. I urged Crater Lake and Oregon Caves project funding and a larger retaining wall and parking reconstruction. The Camp White Hospital bill, backed by the Hospital Subcommittee, headed to full committee as part of veterans care legislation with a long road to passage.
