Labor Department Budget Tops One Billion in 1947 Plan
The House appropriations committee approved a 1.131 billion dollar bill for the Labor Department and Federal Security Agency for fiscal 1947. It funds three extra months for the United States Employment Service to wind down under federal operation and return to the states. President Truman had urged keeping the US E S under federal control to July 1, 1947, but Congress moved it back to states on July 1, 1946. The Labor Department appropriation was 129 million, just 2.5 million below the Budget Bureau figure, and 33 million under the 1946 level.
