PRAISE FOR HARE
Columbia Record
It is not often that an appropria
tion bill gets through congress
without an amendment, but this is
what happened to the big appro
priation bill for the Department of
Labor, the Federal Security agency
and the related agencies, carrying
appropriationls for 'more than one
billion dollars.
The oocurance was so unusual
that at the Close of the debate in
the house a few days ago, Congress
man Cochran of Missouri took the
floor and said:
“Mr Speaker, 1 want to say a
few words about this subcommittee
of the Committee on Appropriations,
the gentleman from South Carolina,
the honorable Butler B. Hare, the
chairman, and his associates, charg
ed with the responsibility of consid
ering the estimates for the depart
ment of LobOr, the Federal Securi
ty Agency, a nd the several other re
lated’ agencies of government that
have appropriations provided in
this bill in 1 a total sum of more
than $1,100,000,000, it is noteworthy
that not an amendment was offered
and no changes were made to the
original report on the bill, and now
that it has been brought back from
the conference with the Senate the
action of this subcommittee is ap
proved without change or amend
ment. The gentleman from South
Carolina, the chairman, and his as
sociates have certainly earned the
commendation of this House. No
one can appreciate mote than the
members of this body the untiring
effort that must be put into the
consideration of svfch a bill as this,
one of the most controversial of all
appropriation bills, to accomplish
its adoption just as the chairman
and his committee proposed it. 1
congratulate them.”
The work of the Committee on
Appropriations is divided among
a number of sub-committees, with
a chairman for each, and congress
man Hare of South Carolina is now
chairman of the committee which
handles the matters affecting the
Labor Department and the Federal
Security Agency and others. The
chairman of these subcommittees
become specialists on their subjects,
especially when, like Mr. Hare, they
make themselves familiar with all
the details of the department over
Which they have virtual supervision
for Congress. This, of course, means
a lot of 'hard work.
