years which the Armed Services
and the Foreign Operations Administration
had not gotten around
to spending, according to
the frtate Chamber atudy. It
added,
'It 1* the huge balance of unexpected
tind largely committeed
appropriations, that the Elsenhower
Administration Inherited
when it came Into office, which
has made impossible- the reduction
o' expenditures as rapidly
as appropriations have been
out."
