to it when it was done. I simply made a comment on it
|
|
2
|
that it might be an inroad, it might lead to other revision
|
|
3
|
that could be a whole lot worse. I simply made that
|
|
4
|
comment about it. It's done, anyway.

MR, SLICKER: Taking your point a step further —
|
|

|
MR. BOND: Well, I'm sort of the devil's advocate
|
|
7
|
I'm saying these gentlemen were very strong about it.

THE CHAIRMAN: Well, it killed the. Cooper Hughes
|
|

Bill.
|
|

|
MR. BOND: That's right.
|

|
MR. SLICKER: The deal on this primarily is that
|
|
12
|
the Committee, of which Senator Hughes was Chairman, the
|
|
13
|
Senate Finance Committee, could have possibly gotten the
|
|
14
|
budget out of Committee two weeks prior to the time it
|
|
15
|
did. Now, I have said this to them also, because what they
|
|
16
|
did, they tied themselves up with hearings on such minutia,
|
|
17
|
special fund agencies like your Examining Boards, and they
|
|
18
|
had them come down there for hearings. They wasted whole
|
|
19
|
mornings, just having these people there, when they could
|
|
20
|
have been considering something more important. The law
|
|
21
|
sets up these Examining Boards and dedicates their funds
