that with 435 Members desiring
to amen~ a 1)ill to reflect wishes
of constituents, pressure, etc., the
entire COml/lex revenue and tax-
alien system couhl be overturned
in a matter of moments. Debate
could be uever-en(ling and the bill
would end undoubtedly with re-
committal to the connnittce, per-
traps never again to see the light
of day.
TIlE SENATE, of course, al-
ways has tim open rule due to its
smaller membership and due to
the fact that any amendments
placed on a tax bill must come
back to the House of Representa-
tives and either be ,adopted, re-
jected, or go to conference for
settlement of differences. The Con-
stitution of the Uuited States
gives the House and only the
House the right to raise revenue.
It is the tax body of the United
States.
The appropriations committee
b~gins its examination, review,
and hearings on the Presidential
budget immediately upon the pre-
sentation of that budget. For ex-
ample, this week secretary Dillon
and budget director Kermit Gor-
don appeared before the full com-
mittee for .a summation and re-
view of this budget in relation to
revenue, with the session open to
questions from the full committee.
Tiffs is a departure from Chair-
man Cannon's process and a heal-
thy one. Any budget should be
summarized in full before sub-
committees go their ways With
pieces of that budget. A subcom-
mittee cannot work intelligently
unless there is all understanding
of the entire financial picture.
Subcommittees then begin the
process of reviewing item by item
the departmental budget which
is their responsibility. This
is not cursory, but a study in
depth of government spending,
programs, details of administra-
tion, management of a depart-
ment's far-flung activities, always
bearing in mind limitations of au-
thorizing legislation. For exam-
ple, if a national park has been
designated by the legislative In-
terior Committee the sum of $2
million to develop that park, the
Appropriations Committee is lim-
ited by this authorization or by
subsequent amendatory committee
authorizations.
FOLLOWING THE subcommit-
tee's complete review, there is
the day known as "mark-up" when
the subcommittee reviews requests
makes its own appraisal of those
requests as related to urgency or
necessity, and cuts or increases
budgetary figures. This subcom-
mittee's report then is made to
the~ full committee. Usually only
~a ~ew i~ems are challenged by
any Member of the full commit-
tee, for the subcommittee is rec-
ognized as the knowledgeable
group in a given field. The bill
goes to the full committee where
the chairman requests the hours of
debate desired. Some take only

I have the privilege of serving
Also, ninny on the Interior Subcommittee and
its activities range from far-off
Samoa aud the Trust Territories
to forest programs for the entire
United States. During hearings it
is my duty to understand the pro-
grams, then ask tllc questions

necessary for tile entire House of
Representatives and Senate t.o ev-

A SMALL example of this pro-
ross is illustrated in the ease of trust you will come to Samoa and March 4th of this year the Ap-

One historical footnote---on
propriations Conmfittee will be
one-hundred years old. Iu earlier
Congresses it had been co-mingled
with \Vays and Means, but as the
nation's work grew the necessity
came for a division of power.
Chairman Mahon in addressing
the full commi'tLee this week in
its organization meeting said, "I
trust we will make this hundreth
anniversary a year for pride in
our abilities."
