CIVIL FUNCTIONS APPROPRIATION

BILL-VETO MESSAGE FROM THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES (H. DOC. NO. 226)

The SPEAKER laid before the House

the following veto message from the

President of the United States:

To the House of Representatives:

On August 28, 1959, I returned to the

Congress without my approval H.R, 7509,

a bill making appropriations for civil

functions administered by the Department of the Army, certain agencies of

the Department of the Interior, and the

Tennessee Valley Authority, for the fiscal

year ending June 30, 1960, and for other

purposes.

H.R. 9105, which is now before me, is

identical to H.R. 7509 in all respects (including the 67 unbudgeted projects

which will ultimately cost our taxpayers

more than $800 million), except that

each individual project and appropriation item has been reduced by 212 percent. This only change not only fails to

meet any of the objections I outlined in

my message of August 28, 1959, accom- panying H.R. 7509 but in addition could

have the effect of impeding orderly work on going projects and result in an increase in cost instead of a saving.

Therefore, for the reasons outlined in

such previous message, I am returning

H.R. 9105 to the Congress without my

approval.

Because the time before the probable

adjournment of Congress may be too

short to allow for deliberate reconsideration by the Congress of my objections,

the Congress might well enact a continuing resolution, effective until January 31, 1960, so that work in progress

may proceed in an orderly way.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER.

THE WHITE HOUSE, September 9, 1959.

The SPEAKER. The objections of the

President will be spread at large upon

the Journal and without objection, the

bill and message will be printed as a

House document.

There was no objection.

The SPEAKER. The question is, Will

the House, on reconsideration, pass the

bill, the objections of the President to

the contrary notwithstanding?

Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, I move

the previous question.

The previous question was ordered.
