today was limited to the fac

Hope for Early Action

ures for the District by June 8.
If this proves true, 1t was
understood that Representative
Watchers subcommittee would
then follow this procedure:
Subcom mittee members
would make an educated guess
as to final congressional action
on giving the District new rev.
enue authorization. Using this
figure as an estimate, the COM
mittee would then permit Dis
trict officials to submit addi-
tional spending requests to be
financed by the anticipated
revenue increases.
The District Commissioners
are required to submit a bal
anced budget.
Because of this requirement
that spending proposals must
be matched to anticipated
revenue figures from authorized
sources, the Commissioners
last January submitted a pro-
posed budget for the fiscal
year beginning July of about
$500 million. The Commits
sioners shelved a "B" budget
of more than $50 million, pend
ing congressional approval OF
revenue-raising measures.
Joint Hearings OK'd
Revenue legislation for the
city is handled by the House
and Senate District Commit
tees. Last week. Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee announced that he
had agreed to joint revenue
hearings by House and Senate
District subcommittee.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he hoped
to have the hearings start this
week.
Arrangements for the Joint
sessions, however, have not been
completed. This meant that
these revenue hearings would
have faced a delay of several
weeks to avoid a conflict with
the scheduled dates for Mr..
Watchers budget sessions.
Under this arrangement,
Congress would have begun to
process the Districts $500 mil
lion balanced budget and the
"B" budget proposals would
have been handled at a later
date, If new revenue was au-
thorized.

Along with a number of

Hancock was supposed to
have said he was signing his

read 1t without his glasses
and double the price on his
head.
One historian went so far
as to point out, in a study of
the signing, that Hancock's
signature on a letter signed
by him in 1776 was three and
three-fourthS inches long.
But on the Declaration, he
measured, 1t was four and

Extension could mean about
$40 million annually to Mary
