House Group Would Spare Own Funds
The House Appropriations Committee recommended trimming other budgets but sparing its own for the next fiscal year starting July 1. It approved 78,470,285 for House operations, with a 2,208,243 cut from requests, less than three percent, in contrast to larger reductions for executive departments. The panel also backed 37,927,705 for House operations costs and trimmed joint Senate House items, Library of Congress, Capitol, Government Printing Office, and Botanic Gardens funding. Construction costs for a new House office building remained funded at about 100 million dollars despite floor efforts to cut the money. The committee touted cuts made wherever justified.
