This emphasis can best be achieved by having the two programs administered in the agency most concerned with the employment process--the Labor Department.

By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 4 of the Air Commerce Act of 1926 (44 Stat. 570), the airspace above the three following-described portions of the United States is hereby reserved and set apart for…

It is ordered as follows: The penultimate paragraph of Executive Order No. 9898 of October 14, 1947, which suspends until July 1, 1948, the eight-hour law as to all work performed by laborers and mechanics employed by the Department of the…

It is ordered that the following-described land at Waiakea-Kai near Hilo Breakwater, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, be, and it is hereby, restored to the jurisdiction of the Territory of Hawaii:

Any person navigating an aircraft within any of these airspace reservations in violation of the provisions of this order will be subject to the penalties prescribed in the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 (52 Stat. 973), as amended.

The Folsom Dam and Reservoir is a key unit in any plan for the full development of the water resources of the Central Valley.

The Corps of Engineers should therefore be given funds to start building the dam at once under the authority of existing legislation.

There is an urgent need for this structure, not only from the standpoint of flood control, but also to provide additional electric energy and conservation of water to meet growing demands in the area.

I recommend therefore that the Congress expand the present authorization for the construction of Folsom Dam.

The budget does reflect it properly, and if the Congress doesn't pass the appropriation, it will be just as if it didn't exist.

No, that has not been prepared.

The policies on which this budget is based, therefore, mean that under present conditions of high costs, it is even more realistic and hard boiled than the 1948 budget was.

The decision is that we will eventually go ahead with the merchant marine program.

That is what is intended.

The Philippine Alien Property Administrator is authorized to transfer to the Republic of the Philippines in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Philippine Property Act of 1946, as soon as practicable after final payment of…

I hope these charts will be helpful in understanding the 1949 budget.

The remarkable thing about the budget to me is the fact that we have been able to hold it well below the 1948 fiscal year budget, and had it not been for our requirements for foreign aid and things of that sort, we would have been $3 1/2…

No, UNRRA will not be used.

You have got to increase those enough so that they can have enough to eat.

This surplus is one of the most important factors in combating inflation, and an essential element of prudent fiscal management.

That is the simplest approach we could find to it, and was recommended by the Economic Advisers as the most satisfactory way of relieving the cost of living to the small taxpayer.

The preparation of the budget for the fiscal year 1949 has been a painstaking process.

I don't think it has been a bit more difficult.

The Philippine Alien Property Administrator is authorized to transfer to the Republic of the Philippines in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Philippine Property Act of 1946, prior to final adjudication of claims, costs…

I would appreciate your aid in having the bill introduced in the Senate.
