House Appropriations Cuts 91 Million in Deficiency Bill
The House Appropriations Committee recommended a 91.2 million dollar reduction in new federal agency funding in the first 1944 deficiency supply bill, trimming total proposed appropriations to about 500.1 million. Major cuts hit the Federal Works Agency and National Housing Agency, with reductions also affecting the Commodity Credit Corporation and Navy authorization. The Veterans Administration would receive full funding for hospital construction, and the committee imposed a 4 percent administrative cap on community facilities funds, stressing targeted facility types to curb absenteeism. A separate note reports Cincinnati offering the first university course on Avigation, combining aviation and navigation principles.
