For the current fiscal year, $460,234,100 was appropriated for these agencies, including funds in the Second Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1958. The budget estimates for fiscal year 1959 total $414,484,600. The bill, as it passed the House of Representatives, provides appropriations totaling $413,145,600.

I will include in the record a tabulation giving the 1958 appropriation, the 1959 budget estimate, and the House allowances for each appropriation in the bill.
