Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. The committee has Commissioner
Collier, of the Indian Service, here this morning. Mr. Commissioner,
do you desire to make a brief general statement?
Mr. COLLIER. It will be exceedingly brief.
The budget which we are presenting is about $1,350,000 below this year's appropriations, and it is a little more than $4,000,000 below the 1940 appropriations.
Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. And how much is it below the request.
of the Indian Service, if you have that figure?
Mr. COLLIER. It is $7,468,000 below our budget request.
Mr. JOHNSON of Oklahoma. That is, you asked for seven million more than the Budget allowed?
Mr. COLLIER. That is correct.
I would mention as perhaps especially important that no new money for land acquisition has been allowed by the Budget at all; the authority to contract for land purchases in the fiscal year 1942 has been left out.
