Interior Department Faces Major Budget Slash by Committee
The House Appropriations Committee proposed a 47 percent cut to the Interior Department for 1948, trimming $6 billion from the president's budget and reducing agencies like the Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service to lean operations. The plan, debated on the House floor, would abolish certain divisions and force thousands to seek new jobs, while the only exception was the Fine Arts Commission receiving its full request.
