 if the gentleman v/ill permit me, to address myself to it. 



Mr. Gross. JMr. Chairman, I withdraw my reservation of objection. 



The Chairman. Without objection, the amendment is modified as 

 requested. 



There was no objection. 



Mr. Lexxox. I yield to the gentleman from Iowa for a question. 



]Mr. Kyl. As I understand it, the substitute simply restores the 

 money for the grant program which would have been eliminated by 

 my amendment, is that correct ? 



Mr. Lex'xox. That is in substance what it does, but I would like 

 to state that I have had quite a bit to say today about the administra- 

 tion position on this bill, and this is the only position that the admin- 

 istration has taken. I am not talking about agencies or departments 

 or bureaus, but the administration, and this is after consultation 

 through the Ofiice of Management and Budget. I appreciate the fiscal 

 situation we find ourselves in now after we have already entered into 

 fiscal year 1973, and what happened in fiscal 1972 and the potential 

 deficit for fiscal year 1973. We discussed this matter, and I read : 



The Administration proposes that the appropriation authorization be limited 

 to $6 million in fiscal year 1973; $24 million in fiscal year 1974; $22 million 

 in fiscal year 1975. These figures are based on pending grants of $6 million for 

 fiscal year 1973 and fiscal year 1974, and $4 million for fiscal year 1975 and 

 $18 million for fiscal year 1974 and fi.scal year 1975 for administrative grants. 



This constitutes the total authorization for the 3 years, and so I am 

 told, technically they are ball park figures of $67 million ; considerably 

 lees than one-half of what the authorization was.
