Research Facilities Act of July 22, 1963 (P.L. 88-74) . Funds were first 

 made available to the State agricultural experiment stations under this 

 Act in fiscal year 1965, and were earmarked for pesticides facilities. 

 Funds appropriated in subsequent years do not carry this restriction. No 

 funds were appropriated for this program in fiscal years 1969, 1971, 1972, 

 and 1973. 



Grants for Scientific Research, Act of August 4, 1965 (P.L. 89-106) . This 

 Act authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to make grants, for periods not 

 to exceed five years 1 duration, to State agricultural experiment stations, 

 colleges, universities, and other research institutions and organizations 

 and to Federal and private organizations and individuals for research to 

 further the programs of the Department of Agriculture. Grants executed by 

 the Cooperative State Research Service under this Act in fiscal year 1973 

 are listed on Pages 22 through 27. $15.4 million were appropriated to the 

 Cooperative State Research Service under this Act in fiscal year 1973. Of 

 this amount $10,883 million were earmarked for the land-grant colleges of 

 1890 and Tuskegee Institute. 



In addition to the funds administered by the Cooperative State Research 

 Service, Congress appropriated approximately $296 million in 1973 to other 

 research agencies of the Department of Agriculture. A substantial portion 

 of these funds is spent in the States on direct Federal research, but the 

 State agricultural experiment stations and other participating institutions 

 derive considerable support from these other Departmental agencies which 

 work cooperatively with them. The State agricultural experiment stations 

 and other participating institutions derive additional support from grants 

 and contracts from agencies other than the Department of Agriculture, and 

 reported $27 million from non-governmental sources such as foundations and 

 industry. 



Reports on the work and results of agricultural research in a given State 

 are available by writing to the Director of the State agricultural experi- 

 ment station, the Administrative-Technical Representative of institutions 

 eligible under the Mel ntire-S tennis program, the Research Coordinator of 

 the 1890 land-grant colleges, and Tuskegee Institute. Locations of the 

 institutions are listed in various Tables and on Pages 31 and 32.
