CONDITIONS TO ALLOWANCE IN THE CASE OF ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAXES. “(a) Conditions.—No credit or refund shall be allowed or made, in pursuance of a court decision or otherwise, of any amount paid or collected as an alcohol or tobacco tax unless the claimant establishes (under regulations prescribed by the Secretary or his delegate)— “(1) that he bore the ultimate burden of the amount claimed; or “(2) that he has unconditionally repaid the amount claimed to the person who bore the ultimate burden of such amount; or “(3) that (A) the owner of the commodity furnished him the amount claimed for payment of the tax, (B) he has filed with the Secretary or his delegate the written consent of such owner to the allowance to the claimant of the credit or refund, and (C) such owner satisfies the requirements of paragraph (1) or (2). “(b) Filing of Claims.—No credit or refund of any amount to which subsection (a) applies shall be allowed or made unless a claim therefor has been filed by the person who paid the amount claimed, and, except as hereinafter provided in this subsection, unless such claim is filed after April 30, 1958, and within the time prescribed by law, and in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary or his delegate. All evidence relied upon in support of such claim shall be clearly set forth and submitted with the claim. Any claimant who has on or before April 30, 1958, filed a claim for any amount to which subsection (a) applies may, if such claim was not barred from allowance on April 30, 1958, file a superseding claim after April 30, 1958, and on or before April 30, 1959, conforming to the requirements of this section and covering the amount (or any part thereof) claimed in such prior claim.

No claim for credit or refund of any such amount which is barred from allowance on April 30, 1958, shall be allowed after such date in any amount. “(d) Application of Section.—This section shall apply only if the credit or refund is claimed on the grounds that an amount of alcohol or tobacco tax was assessed or collected erroneously, illegally, without authority, or in any manner wrongfully, or on the grounds that such amount was excessive. This section shall not apply to— “(1) any claim for drawback, “(2) any claim made in accordance with any law expressly providing for credit or refund where a commodity is withdrawn from the market, returned to bond, or lost or destroyed, and “(3) any amount claimed with respect to a commodity which has been lost, where a suit or proceeding was instituted before June 15, 1957. “(e) Meaning of Terms.—For purposes of this section— “(1) Alcohol or tobacco tax.—The term ‘alcohol or tobacco tax’ means— “(A) any tax imposed by chapter 51 (other than part II of subchapter A, relating to occupational taxes) or by chapter 72 Stat. 10 52 or by any corresponding provision of prior internal revenue laws, and “(B)

 in the case of any commodity of a kind subject to a tax described in subparagraph (A), any tax equal to any such tax, any additional tax, or any floor stocks tax. “(2) Tax.—The term ‘tax’ includes a tax and an exaction denominated a ‘tax’, and any penalty, addition to tax, additional amount, or interest applicable to any such tax. “(3) Ultimate burden.—The claimant shall be treated as having borne the ultimate burden of an amount of an alcohol or tobacco tax for purposes of subsection (a) (1), and the owner referred to in subsection (a) (3) shall be treated as having borne such burden for purposes of such subsection, only if— “(A) he has not, directly or indirectly, been relieved of such burden or shifted such burden to any other person, “(B) no understanding or agreement exists for any such relief or shifting, and “(C) if he has neither sold nor contracted to sell the commodities involved in such claim, he agrees that there will be no such relief or shifting, and furnishes such bond as the Secretary or his delegate may require to insure faithful compliance with his agreement.”

JOINT RESOLUTION To authorize the construction of certain water conservation projects to provide for a more adequate supply of water for irrigation purposes in the Pecos River Basin, New Mexico and Texas.

February 20, 1958

[S. J. Res. 39]

 Whereas there has been an inadequate supply of water for beneficial consumptive uses in the Pecos River Basin, New Mexico and Texas, for a number of years; and Whereas in recent years the shortage of water for beneficial consumptive uses in such basin has been aggravated by reason of the non-beneficial consumptive use of water by salt cedars in such basin and by reason of the infiltration of brine into such river; and Whereas the States of New Mexico and Texas, with the consent of Congress, entered into a compact in 1948 with respect to the Pecos River and one of the principal purposes of such compact was to provide for cooperation between the Federal Government and the States of New Mexico and Texas in studies and projects designed to make available a greater supply of water for beneficial consumptive uses in such basin; and Whereas the Bureau of Reclamation and the Geological Survey, after investigation of certain conditions causing the shortage of water in the Pecos River Basin, have made reports in which they have respectively considered, for the purpose of alleviating such shortage, engineering and other aspects of the construction of a water salvage channel in such basin and the construction of works for the alleviation of salinity in such basin; and 72 Stat. 18 Whereas the construction of such channel and works are estimated to cost $2,600,000 and $150,000, respectively, and the annual operation and maintenance costs for such channel and such works are estimated to be $55,300 and $4,300 a year, respectively; and Whereas the States of New Mexico and Texas are ready and willing to make substantial contributions to the cost of construction of such channel and works if the United States will join with them in bearing such costs; and Whereas State and local agencies in New Mexico and Texas are ready and willing to undertake equitably the financial burden of operating and maintaining such channel and works, and State and local agencies of Texas are ready and willing to undertake the financial burden of operating and maintaining the works for the alleviation of salinity in the Pecos River; and Whereas the Legislature of the State of New Mexico has authorized the appropriation of $290,000 to meet that State’s share of the construction costs of the works; and Whereas the value of benefits which will accrue to the United States from the construction of such channel and works, including restoration of the ability of water users in such basin to pay their contractual obligation of approximately $3,500,000 to the United States, are substantially in excess of the share of the costs of construction of such channel and works to be borne by the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Pecos River Basin, New Mexico and Texas.
That the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to construct a one thousand five hundred cubic foot per second water salvage channel, levee, cleared floodway, and spur drains sufficient to drain McMillan Delta in the Pecos Basin in New Mexico substantially in accordance with the plans described in the report of the Secretary of the Interior entitled “McMillan Delta Project, Pecos River Basin, New Mexico”, House Document 429, Eighty-fourth Congress, but with such modifications of, additions to, and deletions from said plans as the Secretary may find appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this joint resolution: Provided, however,That no money shall be appropriated for, and no work commenced on the clearing of the floodway called for in said report unless provisions shall have been made to replace any Carlsbad irrigation district terminal storage which might be lost by the clearing of the floodway: Provided further, That prior to construction of the water salvage channel the Secretary shall, unless clearance of the floodway is then assured, analyze the adequacy of the designed floodway levee and make such new designs therefor as will assure substantially the same standards of flood protection as would be achieved by the presently contemplated levee with a cleared floodway. The Secretary shall not proceed with the construction of such channel until (1) he has adequate assurance from the State of New Mexico that it will, as its share of the costs of construction of such channel, acquire such rights-of-way, complete such highway changes, and construct such bridges as may be necessitated by the construction of such channel and that it will build an access road to such channel, (2) he has adequate assurance from the Pecos River Commission or other State and local agencies in New Mexico and Texas that such commission or agencies in New Mexico and Texas will operate and maintain such channel and other works authorized in this section, and (3) he has adequate assurance in the form of contracts with the Carlsbad Irrigation District, New Mexico, and the Red Bluff Water Power Control District, Texas, that they will return to the United States each year during a fifty-year period from the date of completion of the works authorized by this 72 Stat. 19section, under terms and conditions satisfactory to the Secretary, such portion of the cost of constructing those works as is within their re-payment ability, said repayment ability to be determined by the Secretary from time to time, but not more often than every five years, after consultation with said districts.
Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to construct upon

Alleviation of salinity.

 a nonreimbursable basis, works for the alleviation of salinity in the Pecos River Basin, New Mexico, substantially in accordance with the report entitled “Possible Improvement of Quality of Water of the Pecos River by Diversion of Brine, Malaga Bend, Eddy County, New Mexico,” prepared by the Water Resources Division, Geological Survey, and dated December 1954, but with such modifications of, additions to, and deletions from said plans as the Secretary may find appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this joint resolution. The Secretary shall not proceed with the construction of such works until (1) he has adequate assurance from the State of New Mexico that it will, as its share of the costs of construction of such works, acquire such rights-of-way for wells, pipelines, and disposal areas as may be necessitated by the construction of such works, and (2) he has adequate assurance from the Pecos River Commission or other State and local agencies in Texas that Texas or local agencies therein will operate and maintain such works.
Sec. 3. The projects constructed under the authority of this joint resolution shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be governed by the Federal Reclamation Laws (Act of June 17,

43 USC 371 note.

 1902, 32 Stat. 388, and Acts amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto), to which laws this Act shall be a supplement.
Sec. 4. Nothing contained in this joint resolution shall be construed to abrogate, amend, modify, or be in conflict with any provisions of the Pecos River Compact.
Sec. 5. There are hereby authorized to be appropriated, out of any

Appropriation.

 moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, such sums as may be required to carry out the purpose of this joint resolution.

The person to whom the license may be issued shall file sworn answers to such interrogatories as the Superintendent may require. Before the Superintendent shall issue or renew a license to any policy-writing agent, soliciting agent, or salaried company employee, he shall require the company or policy writing agent desiring the appointment of such person to certify— “(a) that the person to be appointed, if not a salaried company employee, is a resident of this District, or that his principal office for the conduct of such business is in or will be maintained in the District; “(b) that he is personally known to the person making the certification; “(c) that he has had experience or instructions necessary to the proper conduct of the kind or kinds of business to which the license is to extend; “(d) that he has a good business reputation, is trustworthy, and is worthy of a license.

Before the Superintendent shall issue a license to any policy-writing agent, soliciting agent, salaried company employee, or resident broker, who has not previously been licensed under this Act, he shall personally, or through his deputy or any person regularly employed in the department, within a reasonable time, and in a designated place within the District, subject each such person to a personal written examination relating to such person’s knowledge of the kind or kinds of business to which the license may extend and his competency to act as such policy-writing agent, soliciting agent, broker, or salaried company employee. The Superintendent may in his discretion limit the scope of such examination to such particular kind or kinds of business in which the person to be licensed is to be principally engaged. The Superintendent shall issue or renew such license as may be applied for when he is satisfied that the person to be licensed is (a) competent and trustworthy and intends to act in good faith in the capacity involved by the license applied for, and that not more than 25 per centum of his commission income from business to which the license applies will result from policies the premiums on which are paid or are to be paid in the manner set forth m paragraph (f) of section 36 and (b) that he has a good business reputation and has had experience, training, or education, or is otherwise qualified in the line or lines of business in which the license would entitle him to engage, and, except in the case of a nonresident broker or salaried company employee, is a resident of the District, or maintains his principal office for the conduct of such business in the District; and (c) is reasonably familiar with the insurance laws of the District, and with the provisions, terms, and conditions of the policies he is preposing to solicit, negotiate, or effect, and is worthy of a license.

The Superintendent may also waive the examination requirement in the case of any person who has been licensed in the District prior to the effective date of this Act. The examination requirement shall be waived in the case of any applicant for a license under this section who holds a license under section 26 of the Life Insurance Act (D. C. Code, sec. 35–425), if the company desiring the appointment of such applicant certifies in writing to the Superintendent that such applicant will solicit only accident and health insurance on its behalf. Licenses may be issued in the names of individuals, or in the names of firms, partnerships, or corporations, including banks, trust companies, real-estate offices, and building and loan associations: Provided, That on such licenses in addition to the name of the applicant, there shall be listed the name of every member or officer of such firm, partnership, or corporation who solicits insurance or who countersigns policies: Provided further, That such named persons as well as the licensee shall be subject to all requirements of this Act, and that the Superintendent shall have authority at any time to require the applicant fully to disclose the identity of all stockholders, partners, officers, and employees, and he may in his discretion refuse to issue or renew a license in the name of any firm, partnership, or corporation if he is not satisfied that any officer, employee, stockholder, or partner thereof who may materially influence the applicant’s conduct, meets the standards of this section applicable to persons applying as individuals. No person shall be licensed as agent, broker, or salaried company employee when 72 Stat. 25it appears to the Superintendent that said license is sought primarily for the purpose of obtaining commissions on policies on which he on his own account pays or is to pay the premiums, or on which the premiums are paid or are to be paid by any person who receives or is to receive any benefit, direct or indirect, from the commissions obtained, or on which the premiums are paid or are to be paid by any partnership, association, or corporation of which he is a member.”

Upon application for renewal of an expiring license and the payment of the applicable fee prescribed in section 41, the Superintendent shall issue the license applied for when he is satisfied that the applicant therefor meets the conditions set forth in sections 32 and 36. Before the Superintendent shall refuse to renew any such license he shall give to the applicant an opportunity to be fully heard and to introduce evidence in his behalf. If the Superintendent shall refuse to renew any such license he shall give the applicant written notice thereof and he shall not, for a period of ten days from the date of that notice, take any action to stop the applicant from continuing in business, within which period the applicant may apply to any court as provided in section 45 hereof, for leave, in the discretion of the court, to continue in business until an appeal from such refusal is decided.”

If for any reason the aggregate of all diversions in a river section of the Upper Division does not equal the allocation of water thereto, the unused portion of such allocation shall be available for use in the other river sections in the Upper Division in the following order: (1) In the other river section of the same State in which the unused allocation occurs; and (2) In the river sections of the other State. No permanent right of use shall be established by the distribution of water pursuant to this paragraph e. “f. Water allocated to the several sections shall be distributed in each section in accordance with State law.
“2. Central Division “a.

When either the divertible flow as hereinafter defined for the Central Division is less than 870 second-feet, or the flow of the Bear River at Border Gaging Station is less than 350 second-feet, whichever shall first occur, a water emergency shall be deemed to exist in the Central Division and the total of all diversions in Wyoming from Grade Creek, Pine Creek, Bruner Creek and Pine Creek Springs, Spring Creek, Sublette Creek, Smiths Fork, and all the tributaries or Smiths Fork above the mouth of Hobble Creek including Hobble Creek, and from the main stem of the Bear River between Pixley Dam and the point where the river crosses the Wyoming-Idaho State line near Border shall be limited for the benefit of the State of Idaho, to not exceeding forty-three (43) percent of the divertible flow. The remaining fifty-seven (57) percent of the divertible flow shall be available for use in Idaho in the Central Division, but if any portion of such allocation is not used therein it shall be available for use in Idaho in the Lower Division.

“The divertible flow for the Central Division shall be the total of the following three items:

 “(1) Diversions in second-feet in Wyoming consisting of the sum of all diversions from Grade Creek, Pine Creek, Bruner Creek and Pine Creek Springs, Spring Creek, Sublette Creek, and Smiths Fork and all the tributaries of Smiths Fork above the mouth of Hobble Creek including Hobble Creek, and the main stem of the Bear River between Pixley Dam and the point where the river crosses the Wyoming-Idaho State line near Border, Wyoming. “(2) Diversions in second-feet in Idaho from the Bear River main stem from the point where the river crosses the Wyoming-Idaho State 72 Stat. 43line near Border to Stewart Dam including West Fork Canal which diverts at Stewart Dam. “(3) Flow in second-feet of the Rainbow Inlet Canal and of the Bear River passing downstream from Stewart Dam. “b. The Cook Canal, which diverts water from the main stem of the Bear River in Wyoming to irrigate lands in both Wyoming and Idaho, shall be considered a Wyoming diversion and shall be supplied from the divertible flow allocated to Wyoming. “c. Water allocated to each State shall be distributed in accordance with State law. “3. Lower Division “A. When the flow of water across the Idaho-Utah boundary line is insufficient to satisfy water rights in Utah, any water user in Utah may file a petition with the Commission alleging that by reason of diversions in Idaho he is being deprived of water to which he is justly entitled, and that by reason thereof, a water emergency exists, and requesting distribution of water under the direction of the Commission. If the Commission finds a water emergency exists, it shall put into effect water delivery schedules based on priority of rights and prepared by the Commission without regard to the boundary line for all or any part of the Division, and during such emergency, water shall be delivered in accordance with such schedules by the State official charged with the administration of public waters. “B. The Commission shall have authority upon its own motion (1) to declare a water emergency in any or all river divisions based upon its determination that there are diversions which violate this Compact and which encroach upon water rights in a lower State, (2) to make appropriate orders to prevent such encroachments, and (3) to enforce such orders by action before State administrative officials or by court proceedings. “C. When the flow of water in an interstate tributary across a State boundary line is insufficient to satisfy water rights on such tributary in a lower State, any water user may file a petition with the Commission alleging that by reason of diversions in an upstream State he is being deprived of water to which he is justly entitled and that by reason thereof a water emergency exists, and requesting distribution of water under the direction of the Commission. If the Commission finds that a water emergency exists and that interstate control of water of such tributary is necessary, it shall put into effect water delivery schedules based on priority of rights and prepared without regard to the State boundary line. The State officials in charge of water distribution on interstate tributaries may appoint and fix the compensation and expenses of a joint water commissioner for each tributary. The proportion of the compensation and expenses to be paid by each State shall be determined by the ratio between the number of acres therein which are irrigated by diversions from such tributary, and the total number of acres irrigated from such tributary. “D. In preparing interstate water delivery schedules the Commission, upon notice and after public hearings, shall make findings of fact as to the nature, priority and extent of water rights, rates of flow, duty of water, irrigated acreages, types of crops, time of use, and related matters; provided that such schedules shall recognize and incorporate therein priority of water rights as adjudicated in each of the signatory States. Such findings of fact shall, in any court or before any tribunal, constitute prima facie evidence of the facts found. “E. Water emergencies provided for herein shall terminate on October 15 of each year unless terminated sooner or extended by the Commission.

“article v “A.

Existing storage rights in reservoirs heretofore constructed above Stewart Dam are as follows:

“Idaho 324 acre-feet
“Utah 11, 850 acre-feet
“Wyoming 2,150 acre-feet

Additional rights are hereby granted to store in any water year above Stewart Dam, 35,500 acrefeet of Bear River water and no more for use in Utah and Wyoming; and to store in any water year in Idaho or Wyoming on Thomas Fork 1,000 acrefeet of water for use in Idaho. Such additional storage rights shall be subordinate to, and shall not be exercised when the effect thereof will be to impair or interfere with (1) existing direct flow rights for consumptive use in any river division and (2) existing storage rights above Stewart Dam, but shall not be subordinate to any right to store water in Bear Lake or elsewhere below Stewart Dam. One-half of the 35,500 acrefeet of additional storage right above Stewart Dam so granted to Utah and Wyoming is hereby allocated to Utah, and the remaining one-half thereof is allocated to Wyoming, but in order to attain the most beneficial use of such additional storage consistent with the requirements of future water development projects, the three Commissioners for Utah and the three Commissioners for Wyoming are hereby authorized, subject to ratification by the legislature of Utah and the legislature of Wyoming, to modify by written agreement the allocations of such additional storage.

 “B. The waters of Bear Lake below elevation 5,912.91 feet, Utah Power & Light Company Bear Lake datum (the equivalent of elevation 5,915.66 feet based on the sea level datum of 1929 through the Pacific Northwest Supplementary Adjustment of 1947) shall constitute a reserve for irrigation. The water of such reserve shall not be released solely for the generation of power, except in emergency, but after release for irrigation it may be used in generating power if not inconsistent with its use for irrigation. Any water in Bear Lake in excess of that constituting the irrigation reserve may be used solely for the generation of power or for other beneficial uses. As new reservoir capacity above the Stewart Dam is constructed to provide additional storage pursuant to paragraph A of this Article, the Commission shall make a finding in writing as to the quantity of additional storage and shall thereupon make an order increasing the irrigation reserve in accordance with the following table:
Additional storage acre-feet Luke surface elevation Utah Power A Light Company Bear Lake datum

Water rights acquired for out-of-state use shall be appropriated in the State where the point of diversion is located in the manner provided by law for appropriation of water for use within such State. “B. Any signatory State, any person or any entity of any signatory State, shall have the right to acquire in any other signatory State such property rights as are necessary to the use of water in conformity with this Compact by donation, purchase, or, as hereinafter provided through the exercise of the power of eminent domain in accordance with the law of the State in which such property is located. Any signatory State, upon the written request of the Governor of any other signatory State for the benefit of whose water users property is to be acquired in the State to which such written request is made, shall proceed expeditiously to acquire the desired property either by purchase at a price acceptable to the requesting Governor, or if such purchase cannot be made, then through the exercise of its power of eminent domain and shall convey such property to the requesting State or to the person, or entity designated by its Governor provided, that all costs of acquisition and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever incurred in obtaining such property shall be paid by the requesting State or the person or entity designated by its Governor. “C. Should any facility be constructed in a signatory State by and for the benefit of another signatory State or persons or entities therein, as above provided, the construction, repair, replacement, maintenance and operation of such facility shall be subject to the laws of the State in which the facility is located. “D. In the event lands or other taxable facilities are acquired by a signatory State in another signatory State for the use and benefit of the former, the users of the water made available by such facilities, as a condition precedent to the use thereof, shall pay to the political subdivisions of the State in which such facilities are located, each and every year during which such rights are enjoyed for such purposes a sum of money equivalent to the average of the amount of taxes annually levied and assessed against the land and improvements thereon during the ten years preceding the acquisition of such land. Said payments shall be in full reimbursement for the loss of taxes in such political subdivision of the State. “E. Rights to the use of water acquired under this Article shall in all respects be subject to this Compact.
72 Stat. 46
“article viii “Stored water, or water from another watershed may be turned into the channel of the Bear River in one State and a like quantity, with allowance for loss by evaporation, transpiration, and seepage, may be taken out of the Bear River in another State either above or below the point where the water is turned into the channel, but in making such exchange the replacement water shall not be inferior in quality for the purpose used or diminished in quantity. Exchanges shall not be permitted if the effect thereof is to impair vested rights or to cause damage for which no compensation is paid.

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That this Act, providing for the disposition of property

District of Columbia.

Uniform Simultaneous Death Act.

Where the title to property or the devolution thereof depends upon priority of death and there is no sufficient evidence that the persons have died otherwise than simultaneously, the property of each person shall be disposed of as if he had survived, except as provided otherwise in this Act.
survival of beneficiaries Sec. 3. If property is so disposed of that the right of a beneficiary to succeed to any interest therein is conditional upon his surviving another person, and both persons die, and there is no sufficient evidence that the two have died otherwise than simultaneously, the beneficiary shall be deemed not to have survived. If there is no sufficient evidence that two or more beneficiaries have died otherwise than simultaneously and property has been disposed of in such a way that at the time of their death each of such beneficiaries would have been entitled to the property if he had survived the others, the property shall be divided into as many equal portions as there were such beneficiaries and these portions shall be distributed respectively to those who would have taken in the event that each of such beneficiaries had survived.
joint tenants or tenants by the entirety Sec. 4.

Where there is no sufficient evidence that two joint tenants or tenants by the entirety have died otherwise than simultaneously the property so held shall be distributed, or descend as the case may be, one-half as if one had survived and one-half as if the other had survived. If there are more than two joint tenants and all of them have so died the property thus distributed or descended shall be in the proportion that one bears to the whole number of joint tenants.

The term “joint tenants” includes owners of property held under circumstances which entitled one or more to the whole of the property on the death of the other or others.
insurance policies Sec. 5. Where the insured and the beneficiary in a policy of life or accident insurance have died and there is no sufficient evidence that they have died otherwise than simultaneously, the proceeds of the policy shall be distributed as if the insured had survived the beneficiary.
act does not apply if decedent provides otherwise Sec. 6. This Act shall not apply in the case of wills, living trusts, deeds, or contracts of insurance, or any other situation where provision is made for distribution of property different from the provisions of this Act, or where provision is made for a presumption as to survivor 72 Stat. 68ship which results in a distribution of property different from that here provided.
act not retroactive Sec. 7. This Act shall not apply to the distribution of the property of a person who has died before it takes effect.
uniformity of interpretation Sec. 8. This Act shall be so construed and interpreted as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law in those States which enact it.
short title Sec. 9. This Act may be cited as the “District of Columbia Uniform Simultaneous Death Act”.
repeal Sec. 10. All laws or parts of laws inconsistent with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed.
severability Sec. 11. If any of the provisions of this Act or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Act which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application, and to this end the provisions of this Act are declared to be severable.

It is therefore the purpose of this section to provide musing credit for veterans living in such rural areas and such small cities and towns. “(b)

Housing credit shortage area.

Whenever the Administrator finds that private capital is not generally available in any rural area or small city or town for the financing of loans guaranteed under section 501 of this title, he shall designate such rural area or small city or town as a ‘housing credit shortage area’, and shall make, or enter into commitments to make, loans for any or all of the following purposes in such area— “(1) For the purchase or construction of a dwelling to be owned and occupied by a veteran as his home; “(2) For the purchase of a farm on which there is a farm residence to be owned and occupied by a veteran as his home; “(3) For the construction on land owned by a veteran of a farm residence to be occupied by him as his home; or “(4) For the repair, alteration, or improvement of a farm residence or other dwelling owned by a veteran and occupied by him as his home.

Requirements.

With respect to any loan made to an eligible veteran under this subsection, the Administrator may make advances during the construction of the dwelling, up to a maximum in advances of (A) the cost of the land plus (B) 80 per centum of the value of the construction in place. 72 Stat. 76 “(3)

Loan referral for private lenders.

After the Administrator has entered into a commitment to make a veteran a loan under this subsection, he may refer the proposed loan to the Voluntary Home Mortgage Credit Committee, in order to afford a private lender the opportunity to acquire such loan subject to guaranty as provided in paragraph (5) of subsection (d) of this section. If, before the expiration of sixty days after the loan made to the veteran by the Administrator is fully disbursed, a private lender agrees to purchase such loan, all or any part of the commitment fee paid to the Administrator with respect to such loan may be paid to such private lender when such loan is so purchased.

“If a private lender has not purchased or agreed to purchase such loan before the expiration of sixty days after the loan made by the Administrator is fully disbursed, the commitment fee paid with respect to such loan shall become a part of the special deposit account referred to

38 USC 694m.

in subsection (c) of section 513 of this title. If a loan is not made to a veteran for the purchase of a dwelling, the commitment fee paid with respect to such dwelling shall become a part of such special deposit account.

 “(4)

Exemptions and requirements.

 The Administrator may exempt dwellings constructed through assistance provided by this subsection from the minimum land planning and subdivision requirements prescribed pursuant to subsection

38 USC 694d.

(b) of section 504 of this title, and with respect to such dwellings may prescribe special minimum land planning and subdivision requirements which shall be in keeping with the general housing facilities in the locality but shall require that such dwellings meet minimum requirements of structural soundness and general acceptability. “(f)

Expiration date.

 The authority to make loans under this section shall expire July 25, 1960, except that if a commitment to a veteran to make such a loan was issued by the Administrator before that date the loan may be completed after that date. “(g)

Processing of application.

 (1) The Administrator shall commence the processing of any application for a loan under this section upon the receipt of such application, and shall continue such processing notwithstanding the fact that the assistance of the Voluntary Home Mortgage Credit Committee has been requested by the Administrator for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not such loan can be placed with a private lender. “(2) If the assistance of such Committee has been requested by the Administrator in connection with any such application, and the Administrator is not notified by such Committee within (A) twenty working days after such assistance has been requested, or (B) twenty working days after the date of enactment of this subsection, whichever is the later, that it has been successful in enabling the applicant to place such loan with a private lender or expects to do so within ten additional working days, the Administrator shall proceed forthwith to complete any part of the processing of such application remaining unfinished, and to grant or deny the application in accordance with the provisions of this section. “(3) As used in this subsection, the term ‘working days’ means calendar days exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays.”

funds authorized under the provisions of section 108 of this Act, to which the national policy and the agreement apply, shall be increased by one-half of one per centum of the total cost thereof, not including any additional cost that may be incurred in the carrying out of the agreement: Provided, That the increase in the Federal share which is payable hereunder shall be paid only from appropriations from moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, which such appropriations are hereby authorized. “(d) Whenever any portion of the Interstate System is located upon or adjacent to any public lands or reservations of the United States, the Secretary of Commerce may make such arrangements and enter into such agreements with the agency having jurisdiction over such lands or reservations as may be necessary to carry out the national policy set forth in subsection (a) of this section, and any such agency is hereby authorized and directed to cooperate fully with the Secretary of Commerce in this connection. “(e) Whenever a State shall acquire by purchase or condemnation the right to advertise or regulate advertising in an area adjacent to the right-of-way of a project on the Interstate System for the purpose of implementing this section, the cost of such acquisition shall be considered as a part of the cost of construction of such project and Federal funds may be used to pay the Federal pro rata share of such cost: Provided, That reimbursement to the State shall be made only with respect to that portion of such cost which does not exceed 5 per centum of the cost of the right-of-way for such project.”

“ARTICLE V

“The State of Connecticut agrees to reimburse the Commonwealth of Massachusetts forty (40) per cent of the amount of taxes lost to their political subdivisions by reason of acquisition and ownership by the United States of lands, rights or other property therein for construction in the future of any flood control dam and reservoir specified in Article IV and also for any other flood control dam and reservoir hereafter constructed by the United States in the Thames River Valley in Massachusetts.

“Annually, not later than November first of each year, the commission shall determine the loss of taxes resulting to political subdivisions of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by reason of acquisition and ownership therein by the United States of lands, rights or other property in connection with each flood control dam and reservoir for which provision for tax reimbursement has been made in the paragraph next above. Such losses of taxes as determined by the commission shall be based on the tax rate then current in each such political subdivision and on the average assessed valuation for a period of five years prior to the acquisition by the United States of the site of the dam for such reservoir, provided that whenever a political subdivision wherein a flood control dam and reservoir or portion thereof is located shall have made a general revaluation of property subject to the annual municipal taxes of such subdivisions, the commission may use such revaluation for the purpose of determining the amount of taxes for which reimbursement shall be made. Using the percentage of payment agreed to in this Article, the commission shall then compute the sum, if any, due from the State of Connecticut to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall send a notice to the treasurer of each signatory state setting forth in detail the sum, if any, Connecticut is to pay and Massachusetts is to receive in reimbursement of tax losses.

“The State of Connecticut on receipt of formal notification from the commission of the sum which it is to pay in reimbursement for tax losses shall, not later than July first of the following year, make its payment for such tax losses to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts wherein such loss or losses occur, except that in case of the first annual payment for tax losses at any dam or reservoir such payment shall be made by the State of Connecticut not later than July first of the year in which the next regular session of its legislature is held.

“Payment by the State of Connecticut of its share of reimbursement for taxes in accordance with formal notification received from the commission shall be a complete and final discharge of all liability by the state to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for each flood control dam and reservoir within that state for the time specified in such formal notification. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall have full responsibility for distributing or expending all such sums received, and no agency or political subdivision of the Commonwealth shall have any claim against the State of Connecticut or against the commission relative to tax losses covered by such payments.

“The two states may agree, through the commission, on a lump sum payment in lieu of annual payments and when such lump sum payment has been made and received, the requirement that the commission annually shall determine the tax losses, compute sums due and send notice thereof to the treasurer of each state shall no longer apply with respect to any flood control dam and reservoir for which lump sum payment has been made and received.

“On receipt of information from the Chief of Engineers, United States Army, that request is to be made for funds for the purpose of preparing detailed plans and specifications for any flood control dam72 Stat. 367 and reservoir proposed to be constructed in the Thames River Valley in Massachusetts, including those specified in Article IV, the commission shall make an estimate of the amount of taxes which would be lost to the political subdivisions of that state by reason of acquisition and ownership by the United States of lands, rights or other property for the construction and operation of such flood control dam and reservoir and shall decide whether the flood control benefits to be derived from such flood control dam and reservoir, both by itself and as a unit of a comprehensive flood control plan, justifies, in the opinion of the commission, the assumption by Connecticut of the obligation to make reimbursement for loss of taxes. Such estimate and decision shall thereafter be reviewed by the commission at five-year intervals until such time as the United States shall have acquired title to the site of such flood control dam or plans for its construction are abandoned. The commission shall notify the governor, the members of the United States Senate and the members of the United States House of Representatives from each signatory state and the chief of engineers as to the commission’s decision and as to any change in such decision.

“On receipt of information from the Chief of Engineers that any flood control dam and reservoir is to be constructed, reconstructed, altered, or used for any purpose in addition to flood control, including those flood control dams and reservoirs heretofore constructed and those specified in Article IV, the commission shall make a separate estimate of the amount of taxes which would be lost to the political subdivisions of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by reason of acquisition and ownership by the United States of lands, rights or other property for construction and operation of such dam and reservoir in excess of the estimated amount of taxes which would be lost if the dam were constructed and operated for flood control only and the commission shall decide the extent to which, in its opinion, the State of Connecticut would be justified in making reimbursement for loss of taxes in addition to reimbursement for such dam and reservoir if constructed and used for flood control only. Such estimate and decision shall thereafter be reviewed by the commission at five-year intervals until such time as such dam and reservoir shall be so constructed, reconstructed, altered or used or plans for such construction, reconstruction, alteration or use are abandoned. The commission shall notify the governor, the members of the United States Senate and the members of the United States House of Representatives from each signatory state as to the commission’s decision and as to any change in such decision.

“A signatory state may, in agreement with the commission and the Chief of Engineers, acquire title or option to acquire title to any or all lands, rights or other property required for any flood control dam and reservoir within its boundaries and transfer such titles or options to the United States. Whenever the fair cost to said signatory state for such titles or options, as determined by the commission, is greater than the amount received therefor from the United States, the State of Connecticut shall pay its share of such excess cost to said signatory state, such share to be determined by the commission.

“Whenever the commission shall not agree, within a reasonable time or within sixty days after a formal request from the governor of any signatory state, concerning reimbursement for loss of taxes at any flood control dam and reservoir heretofore or hereafter constructed by the United States in the Thames River Valley in Massachusetts, or concerning the extent, if any, to which reimbursement shall be made for additional loss of taxes caused by construction, reconstruction, alteration or use of any such dam for purposes other than flood control, the governor of each signatory state shall designate a person from his72 Stat. 368 state as a member of a board of arbitration, hereinafter called the board, and the members so designated shall choose one additional member who shall be chairman of such board. Whenever the members appointed by the governors to such board shall not agree within sixty days on such additional member of the board, the governors of such signatory states shall jointly designate the additional member. The board shall by majority vote decide the question referred to it and shall do so in accordance with the provisions of this compact concerning such reimbursement. The decision of the board on each question referred to it concerning reimbursement for loss of taxes shall be binding on the commission and on each signatory state, notwithstanding any other provision of this compact.
“ARTICLE VI “Nothing contained in this compact shall be construed as a limitation upon the authority of the United States.
“ARTICLE VII “The signatory states agree to appropriate for compensation of agents and employees of the commission and for office, administration, travel and other expenses on recommendation of the commission subject to limitations as follows: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts obligates itself to not more than seven thousand ($7,000) dollars in any one year and the State of Connecticut obligates itself to not more than five thousand ($5,000) dollars in any one year.
“ARTICLE VIII “Should any part of this compact be held to be contrary to the constitution of any signatory state or of the United States, all other parts thereof shall continue to be in full force and effect.
“ARTICLE IX “This compact shall become operative and effective when ratified by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Connecticut

Notice by President.

 and approved by the Congress of the United States. Notice of ratification shall be given by the governor of each state to the governor of the other state and to the President of the United States, and the President of the United States is requested to give notice to the governors of each of the signatory states of approval by the Congress of the United States.”

Small Business Act.

67 Stat. 232.

15 USC 631.
That title II of the Act of July 30, 1953 (Public Law 163, Eighty-third Congress), as amended, is hereby withdrawn as a part of that Act and is made a separate Act to be known as the “Small Business Act”.
Sec. 2. The Small Business Act is amended to read as follows:
“Sec. 1. This Act may be cited as the ‘Small Business Act’.
“Sec. 2.

Policy of Congress.

 (a) The essence of the American economic system of private enterprise is free competition. Only through full and free competition can free markets, free entry into business, and opportunities for the expression and growth of personal initiative and individual judgment be assured. The preservation and expansion of such competition is basic not only to the economic well-being but to the security of this Nation. Such security and well-being cannot be realized unless the actual and potential capacity of small business is encouraged and developed. It is the declared policy of the Congress that the Government should aid, counsel, assist, and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small-business concerns in order to preserve free competitive enterprise, to insure that a fair proportion of the total purchases and contracts for property and services for the Government (including but not limited to contracts for maintenance, repair, and construction) be placed with small-business enterprises, to insure that a fair proportion of the total sales of Government property be made to such enterprises, and to maintain and strengthen the over-all economy of the Nation. “(b) Further, it is the declared policy of the Congress that the Government should aid and assist victims of floods and other catastrophes.
“Sec. 3.

Definition.

 For the purposes of this Act, a small-business concern shall be deemed to be one which is independently owned and operated and which is not dominant in its field of operation. In addition to the foregoing criteria the Administrator, in making a detailed definition, may use these criteria, among others: Number of employees and dollar volume of business. Where the number of employees is used as one of the criteria in making such definition for any of the purposes of this Act, the maximum number of employees which a small-business concern may have under the definition shall vary from industry to industry to the extent necessary to reflect differing characteristics of such industries and to take proper account of other relevant factors.
“Sec. 4.

Small Business Administration.

 (a) In order to carry out the policies of this Act there is hereby created an agency under the name ‘Small Business Administration’ (herein referred to as the Administration), which Administration snail be under the general direction and supervision of the President and shall not be affiliated with or be within any other agency or department of the Federal Government. The principal office of the Administration shall be located in the District of Columbia. The Administration may establish such branch and regional offices in other places in the United States as may be determined by the Administrator

The Administrator shall not engage in any other business, vocation, or employment than that of serving as Administrator.

new section 13a of interstate commerce act Sec. 5. The Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, is amended by

49 USC 13.

 inserting after section 13 thereof a new section 13a as follows:
“discontinuance or change of certain operations or services “Sec. 13a. (1) A carrier or carriers subject to this part, if their rights with respect to the discontinuance or change, in whole or in part, of the operation or service of any train or ferry operating from a point in one State to a point in any other State or in the District of Columbia, or from a point in the District of Columbia to a point in any State, are subject to any provision of the constitution or statutes of any State or any regulation or order of (or are the subject of any proceeding pending before) any court or an administrative or regulatory agency of any State, may, but shall not be required to, file with the Commission, and upon such filing shall mail to the Governor of each State in which such train or ferry is operated, and past in every station, depot or other facility served thereby, notice at least thirty days in advance of any such proposed discontinuance or change. The carrier or carriers filing such notice may discontinue or change any such operation or service pursuant to such notice except as otherwise ordered by the Commission pursuant to this paragraph, the laws or constitution of any State, or the decision or order of, or the pendency of any proceeding before, any court or State authority to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the filing of such notice the Commission shall have authority during said thirty days’ notice period, either upon complaint or upon its own initiative without complaint, to enter upon an investigation of the proposed discontinuance or change. Upon the institution of such investigation, the Commission, by order served upon the carrier or carriers affected thereby at least ten days prior to the day on which such discontinuance or change would otherwise become effective, may require such train or ferry to be continued in operation or service, in whole or in part, pending hearing and decision in such investigation, but not for a longer period than four months beyond the date when such discontinuance or change would otherwise 72 Stat. 572have become effective. If, after hearing in such investigation, whether concluded before or after such discontinuance or change has become effective, the Commission finds that the operation or service of such train or ferry is required by public convenience and necessity and will not unduly burden interstate or foreign commerce, the Commission may by order require the continuance or restoration of operation or service of such tram or ferry, in whole or in part, for a period not to exceed one year from the date of such order. The provisions of this paragraph shall not supersede the laws of any State or the orders or regulations of any administrative or regulatory body of any State applicable to such discontinuance or change unless notice as in this paragraph provided is filed with the Commission. On the expiration of an order by the Commission after such investigation requiring the continuance or restoration of operation or service, the jurisdiction of any State as to such discontinuance or change shall no longer be superseded unless the procedure provided by this paragraph shall again be invoked by the carrier or carriers. “(2) Where the discontinuance or change, in whole or in part by a carrier or carriers subject to this part, of the operation or service of any train or ferry operated wholly within the boundaries of a single State is prohibited by the constitution or statutes of any State or where the State authority having jurisdiction thereof shall have denied an application or petition duly filed with it by said carrier or carriers for authority to discontinue or change, in whole or in part, the operation or service of any such train or ferry or shall not have acted finally on such an application or petition within one hundred and twenty days from the presentation thereof, such carrier or carriers may petition the Commission for authority to effect such discontinuance or change. The Commission may grant such authority only after full hearing and upon findings by it that (a) the present or future public convenience and necessity permit of such discontinuance or change, in whole or in part, of the operation or service of such train or ferry, and (b) the continued operation or service of such train or ferry without discontinuance or change, in whole or in part, will constitute an unjust and undue burden upon the interstate operations of such carrier or carriers or upon interstate commerce. When any petition shall be filed with the Commission under the provisions of this paragraph the Commission shall notify the Governor of the State in which such train or ferry is operated at least thirty days in advance of the hearing provided for in this paragraph, and such hearing shall be held by the Commission in the State in which such train or ferry is operated; and the Commission is authorized to avail itself of the cooperation, services, records and facilities of the authorities in such State in the performance of its functions under this paragraph.”
amendment to section 15a of the interstate commerce act Sec. 6. Section 15a of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, is

49 USC 15a.

 amended by inserting after paragraph (2) thereof a new paragraph (3) as follows: “(3) In a proceeding involving competition between carriers of different modes of transportation subject to this Act, the Commission, in determining whether a rate is lower than a reasonable minimum rate, shall consider the facts and circumstances attending the movement of the traffic by the carrier or carriers to which the rate is applicable. Rates of a carrier shall not be held up to a particular level to protect the traffic of any other mode of transportation, giving due consideration to the objectives of the national transportation policy declared in this Act.”

 Commerce Act, as amended, is amended by striking out the semicolon at the end thereof and inserting in lieu thereof a colon and the following: “Provided, That the words ‘property consisting of ordinary livestock, fish (including shell fish), or agricultural (including horticultural) commodities (not including manufactured products thereof)’ as used herein shall include property shown as ‘Exempt’ in the ‘Commodity List’ incorporated in ruling numbered 107, March 19, 1958, Bureau of Motor Carriers, Interstate Commerce Commission, but shall not include property shown therein as ‘Not exempt’: Provided further, however, That notwithstanding the preceding proviso the words ‘property consisting of ordinary livestock, fish (including shell fish), or agricultural (including horticultural) commodities (not including manufactured products thereof)’ shall not be deemed to include frozen fruits, frozen berries, frozen vegetables, cocoa beans, coffee beans, tea, bananas, or hemp, and wool imported from any foreign country, wool tops and noils, or wool waste (carded, spun, woven, or knitted), and shall be deemed to include cooked or uncooked (including breaded) fish or shell fish when frozen or fresh (but not including fish and shell fish which have been treated for preserving, such as canned, smoked, pickled, spiced, corned or kippered products);”.

(c) Subject to the provisions of section 210 of the Interstate Commerce Act,

49 USC 310.

 if any person (or its predecessor in interest) was in bona fide operation on May 1, 1958, over any route or routes or within any territory, in the transportation of property for compensation by motor vehicle made subject to the provisions of part II of that Act by paragraph (a) of this section, in interstate or foreign commerce, and has so operated since that time (or if engaged in furnishing seasonal service only, was in bona fide operation on May 1, 1958, during the season ordinarily covered by its operations and has so operated since that time), except in either instance as to interruptions of service over which such applicant or its predecessor in interest had no control, the Interstate Commerce Commission shall without further proceedings issue a certificate or permit, as the type of operation may warrant, authorizing such operations as a common or contract carrier by motor vehicle if application is made to the said Commission as provided in part II of the Interstate Commerce Act and within one hundred and

49 USC 301.

 twenty days after the date on which this section takes effect. Pending the determination of any such application, the continuance of such operation without a certificate or permit shall be lawful. Any carrier which on the date this section takes effect is engaged in an operation of the character specified in the foregoing provisions of this para-72 Stat. 574graph, but was not engaged in such operation on May 1, 1958, may under such regulations as the Interstate Commerce Commission shall prescribe, if application for a certificate or permit is made to the said Commission within one hundred and twenty days after the date on which this section takes effect, continue such operation without a certificate or permit pending the determination of such application in accordance with the provisions of part II of the Interstate Commerce Act.

C. 1177), is amended by inserting at the beginning of the first two paragraphs of subsection (d) thereof the designations “(1)” and “(2)”, respectively, and by inserting at the end of such subsection (d) the following new subdivisions: “(3) (A) Upon application of the contractor, the Secretary of

Investment of contractor’s funds.

 Commerce, in his discretion, may permit the contractor to transfer not exceeding 50 per centum of his capital reserve fund and 50 per centum of his special reserve fund to a trustee which is incorporated as a bank or trust company under the laws of the United States, or of any State, and which is approved by the Secretary of Commerce, in trust nevertheless for the benefit of the contractor and of the United States as their interests are stated in this section (1) to hold in separate trusts the principal of the capital and special reserve funds so transferred, one trust for the capital reserve fund and one trust for the special reserve fund; (2) to invest and reinvest the principal of such trusts in such common stocks of corporations organized and existing under the laws of the United States or of the District of Columbia or of any State of the United States which are currently fully listed and registered upon an exchange registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a national securities exchange, and which would be acquired by prudent men of discretion and intelligence in such matters who are seeking a reasonable income and the preservation of their capital; (3) to accumulate the income from the capital reserve fund trust in such trust, to pay the income from the special reserve fund trust into the capital reserve fund trust, and to invest and reinvest such income in common stocks in which the trustee is authorized to invest principal under this subdivision (3); and (4) to pay to the contractor and the Secretary of Commerce, as trustees of the special reserve fund and the capital reserve fund, after reasonable notice, from the principal and accumulated income of the trusts such amounts, in cash, as the contractor and the Secretary of Commerce direct. “(B) Consent by the contractor to an investment which is not authorized by this subdivision (3) shall not be a defense to the trustee. Such common stock trusts shall be revocable by the Secretary of Commerce at any time and upon notice of the revocation, the common stock trustee shall reduce the principal and accumulated income of such trusts to cash and shall pay such cash to the contractor and the Secretary of Commerce as trustees of the capital reserve fund and special reserve fund. In the administration of such common stock trusts, capital gains, stock dividends, and rights to purchase stock shall be considered principal; cash dividends, whenever earned, shall be considered income. At the end of the contractor’s recapture period, however, after satisfaction of the contractor’s recapture obligations, an amount of the special reserve fund trust equal to the value of the capital gains made (whether realized or not), the stock dividends declared, and the rights to purchase stock issued to the special reserve fund trust during such recapture period, to the extent the special reserve fund trust contains this amount, shall be transferred (in cash or in stock) to the capital reserve fund trust. For the purpose of deter-72 Stat. 593mining the 50 per centum of the capital reserve fund and the special reserve fund the transfer of which to a common stock trust the Secretary of Commerce may approve, the market value of each such fund as of the date of such transfer shall be used. The common stock trusts authorized by this subdivision (3) shall at all times remain a part of the capital reserve fund and the special reserve fund. “(C) If immediately before a deposit is made in a capital or special reserve fund, 50 per centum or more of the value of such fund is invested in common stock, the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to approve, upon application of the contractor, the transfer of not exceeding 50 per centum of such deposit to the common stock trustee upon the trusts authorized in this subdivision (3). When payments are made, or funds are withdrawn, from a capital reserve fund or a special reserve fund, as authorized in this section, if 50 per centum or more of the value of such capital reserve fund or special reserve fund, as of the date of such payment or withdrawal, is invested in common stocks, such payment or withdrawal shall be made from the common stock trust in the proportion that the value of such common stock trust bears to the value of the entire capital reserve fund or special reserve fund. If, however, less than 50 per centum of the value of such capital or special reserve fund, as of the date of such payment or withdrawal, is invested in common stocks, the Secretary of Commerce is authorized, upon application by the contractor, to approve the allocation of the payment or withdrawal entirely to the portion of such capital or special reserve fund not invested in common stocks, or to approve the allocation of such payment or withdrawal between the common stock trust and the remainder of such capital or special reserve fund in any proportion, so long as the value of the common stock trust immediately after such withdrawal does not exceed 50 per centum of the value of such capital or special reserve fund, and if the contractor makes no such application or if the allocation requested in such application is not approved by the Secretary of Commerce, then such payment or withdrawal shall be allocated in the manner above provided for when the value of the common stock trust is 50 per centum or more of the value of the entire capital reserve fund or special reserve fund. “(D) Trust indentures executed under the authority of this subdivision (3) may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with this subdivision (3), as the Secretary of Commerce determines are desirable to protect the interests of the United States. The authority of the Secretary of Commerce to grant approvals, give directions, make determinations, and make regulations under this subdivision (3), and to act as trustee of the capital reserve fund and special reserve fund under this section may be delegated to the Maritime Administrator.”

Said refunding bonds may be exchanged privately for and in payment and discharge of any outstanding bonds of a municipal or public-utility district or school district. Refunding bonds payable from the revenues of a municipal or public utility may be exchanged for a like or greater amount of outstanding bonds payable from the revenues of such municipal or public utility, and the principal amount of such refunding bonds may exceed the principal amount of such outstanding bonds to the extent necessary or advisable to fund interest in arrears or about to become due on such outstanding bonds. The holder or holders of any outstanding bonds need not pay accrued interest on the refunding bonds to be delivered in exchange therefor if, and to the extent that interest is due or accrued and unpaid on the outstanding bonds to lie surrendered. Refunding bonds payable from the revenues of a municipal or public utility may be issued at any time to retire the bonds to be refunded when such bonds are payable or redeemable, in an amount sufficient to pay not only the principal of and interest on the bonds to be refunded but also any redemption premiums required to be paid in connection with the redemption of the outstanding bonds, and may also be issued in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of and interest on and any redemption premiums with respect to the redemption of general obligation bonds issued for the acquisition of the municipal or public utility. No election shall be required to authorize the issuance and sale of such refunding bonds and the issuance and sale thereof may lie authorized, and all proceedings with reference thereto prescribed by ordinance or resolution of the common council, or the board of directors, or other governing body, of the municipal corporation or public-utility district or school district, as the case may be, at any legally called meeting thereof. Refunding bonds issued under authority of this section72 Stat. 626 which are payable solely from the revenues of a municipal or public utility shall not be subject to the limitations on bonded indebtedness prescribed by any debt-limitation law applicable to municipal corporations or public-utility districts in the Territory of Alaska; but refunding bonds issued under authority of this section which constitute general obligations of a municipal corporation or a public-utility district or school district shall be subject to the limitations of bonded indebtedness prescribed by any debt-limitation law applicable to municipal corporations or public-utility districts or school districts in the Territory of Alaska, except as provided in section

Terms, maturity, interest, etc.

 6 of the Alaska Public Works Act, as amended (48 U. S. C. 486d).
“Sec. 2. Bonds issued pursuant to this Act shall bear such date or dates, may be in such denominations, may mature in such amounts at such time or times, not exceeding thirty years from the date thereof, may be payable at such place or places, may be sold at either public or private sale, or exchanged as above provided, may be redeemable (either with or without premium) or nonredeemable, may carry such registration privileges as to either principal and interest, or principal only, and may be executed by such officers and in such manner, as shall be prescribed by the common council or board of directors or other governing body of the municipality or public-utility district or school district issuing the bonds. In case any of the officers whose signatures appear on the bonds or coupons shall cease to be such officers before delivery of such bonds, such signatures, whether manual or facsimile, shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officers had remained in office until such delivery. The bonds so issued shall bear interest at a rate to be fixed by the governing body of the municipality or public-utility district or school district issuing the same, not to exceed, however, 6 per centum per annum payable semiannually. Such bonds shall at all times be, and shall be, treated as negotiable instruments for all purposes. In case such bonds are sold rather than exchanged, the purchase price thereof shall be not less than par plus accrued interest, and said refunding bonds may be delivered to the purchasers thereof not more than ninety days prior to the date upon which the bonds to be refunded mature or are to be redeemed.
“Sec. 3.

Taxes.

 It shall be the duty of the governing body of every municipal corporation or public-utility district or school district which issues such bonds under the authority of this Act to levy or cause to be levied each year during the life of such bonds taxes in amounts sufficient seasonably to provide for payment of and to pay all interest on and the principal of such obligations as they respectively accrue and mature: Provided, however, That the provisions of this section shall not apply to bonds which by their terms are to be paid from the revenues of a public utility owned or operated by such municipal corporation or public-utility district and are not general obligations of the municipal corporation or public-utility district. Such refunding bonds which are to be paid from the revenues of a municipality or public utility shall be secured by a lien on or a pledge of the revenues of said utility which shall be equal to or greater than the lien pledge of said revenues which secures the outstanding bonds to be refunded. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the issuance of refunding bonds payable solely from the revenues of a municipal or public utility which bonds are issued for the purpose of refunding general obligation bonds issued for the acquisition of such municipal or public utility.”
Sec. 2. All bonds which have heretofore been issued by any municipal corporation or any public-utility district or any school district in the Territory of Alaska and all proceedings for the authorization72 Stat. 627 and issuance of such bonds and the sale, execution, and delivery thereof hereby are validated, ratified, approved, and confirmed, notwithstanding any defects or irregularities in such proceedings. Said bonds heretofore issued and sold are declared to be and shall be in the actual form in which such bonds have been issued and shall be the binding and legal obligations of the municipal corporation or public-utility district or school district issuing the same.

Whenever any such disposal is contemplated by any executive agency, such agency shall transmit promptly to the Attorney General notice of such proposed disposal and the probable terms or conditions thereof. If such notice is given by any executive agency other than the General Services Administration, a copy of such notice shall be transmitted simultaneously to the Administrator. Within a reasonable time, in no event to exceed sixty days, after receipt of such notification, the Attorney General shall advise the Administrator and any other interested executive agency whether, so far as he can determine, the proposed disposition would tend to create or maintain a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws. “(b) Upon request made by the Attorney General, the Administrator or any other executive agency shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Attorney General such information as the Administrator or such other executive agency may possess which the Attorney General determines to be appropriate or necessary to enable him to give the advice required by this section, or to determine whether any other disposition or proposed disposition of surplus property violates or would violate any of the antitrust laws. “(c) This section shall not apply to the disposal of— “(1) real property if the aggregate amount of the original acquisition cost of such property to the Government and all capital expenditures made by the Government with respect thereto is less than $1,000,000; or “(2) personal property (other than a patent, process, technique, or invention) with an acquisition cost of less than $3,000,000. “(d)

Investigation and reports on imports impairing national security.

 Upon request of the head of any Department or Agency, upon application of an interested party, or upon his own motion, the Director of the Office of Defense and Civilian Mobilization (hereinafter in this section referred to as the ‘Director’) shall immediately make an appropriate investigation, in the course of which he shall seek information and advice from other appropriate Departments and Agencies, to determine the effects on the national security of imports of the article which is the subject of such request, application, or motion. If, as a result of such investigation, the Director is of the opinion that the said article is being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security, he shall promptly so advise the President, and, unless the President determines that the article is not being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security as set forth in this section, he shall take such action, and for such time, as he deems necessary to adjust the imports of such article and its derivatives so that such imports will not so threaten to impair the national security. “(c) For the purposes of this section, the Director and the President shall, in the light of the requirements of national security and without excluding other relevant factors, give consideration to domestic production needed for projected national defense requirements, the capacity of domestic industries to meet such requirements, existing and anticipated availabilities of the human resources, products, raw materials, and other supplies and services essential to the national de-72 Stat. 679fense, the requirements of growth of such industries and such supplies and services including the investment, exploration, and development necessary to assure such growth, and the importation of goods in terms of their quantities, availabilities, character, and use as those affect such industries and the capacity of the United States to meet national security requirements. In the administration of this section, the Director and the President shall further recognize the close relation of the economic welfare of the Nation to our national security, and shall take into consideration the impact of foreign competition on the economic welfare of individual domestic industries; and any substantial unemployment, decrease in revenues of government, loss of skills or investment, or other serious effects resulting from the displacement of any domestic products by excessive imports shall be considered, without excluding other factors, in determining whether such weakening of our internal economy may impair the national security. “(d) A report shall be made and published upon the disposition of

Publication of reports.

Report to Congress.

 Departments and Agencies and with the approval of the President, shall by February 1, 1959, submit to the Congress a report on the administration of this section. In preparing such a report, an analysis should be made of the nature of projected national defense requirements, the character of emergencies that may give rise to such requirements, the manner in which the capacity of the economy to satisfy such requirements can be judged, the alternative means of assuring such capacity and related matters.”
(b) The amendment made by subsection (a) shall not affect any action taken or determinations made before the date of the enactment of this Act.

On the filing of said application, the coal deposits in such lands covered thereby shall be temporarily set aside and withdrawn from all forms of disposal under this Act. The Secretary of the Interior shall, after posting notice of the pending application in the local land office, conduct public hearings on said application or applications for additional acreage. After such public hearings, to such extent as he finds to be in the public interest and necessary for the applicant in order to carry on business economically, the Secretary of the Interior may, under such regulations as he may prescribe, permit such person, association, or corporation to take or hold coal leases or permits for an additional aggregate acreage of not more than five thousand one hundred and twenty acres in such State. The Secretary may, in his own discretion or whenever sufficient public interest is manifested, reevaluate the lessee’s or permittee’s need for all or any part of the additional acreage. The Secretary may cancel the lease or leases and permit or permits covering all or any part of the additional acreage, if he finds that such cancellation is in the public interest or that the coal deposits in the additional acreage are no longer necessary for the lessee or permittee to carry on business economically or if the lessee or permittee has divested himself of all or any part of the original ten thousand two hundred and forty acres or no longer has facilities which in the Secretary’s opinion enable him to exploit the deposits under lease or permit. No assignment, transfer, or sale of any part of the additional acreage may be made without the approval of the Secretary.”

“Sec. 315. (a) The provisions of this section shall be effective,

Fire and sun cured.

 where applicable, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act. Within thirty days after the date this section is enacted into law, the Secretary shall conduct a special referendum of farmers who were engaged in the production of the crops of type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco or type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco which was harvested immediately prior to the referendum. The provisions of the regulations issued by the Secretary governing the holding of referendums on marketing quotas authorized under section 312 of this Act shall apply, insofar as applicable, to the holding of the special referendum provided for in this section. The purpose of such special referendum is to determine whether those persons eligible to vote therein favor the establishment, as hereinafter provided in this section, of a single combined tobacco acreage allotment for the 1958–59 and subsequent marketing years for any farm for which both a type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco acreage allotment and a type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco acreage allotment have been established for the 1958–59 marketing year. “(b) If two-thirds or more of the persons voting in the special referendum provided for in this section favor the establishment for the 1958–1959 and subsequent marketing years of a single combined tobacco acreage allotment for any farm having both a type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco acreage allotment and a type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco acreage allotment for the 1958–1959 marketing year, the Secretary, through local committees, shall establish for each of such farms a single combined tobacco acreage allotment for the 1958–1959 marketing year and subsequent marketing years applicable to one kind of tobacco, either type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco or type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco, whichever kind of tobacco the owner of such farm or his representative designates with respect to the 1958–1959 marketing year and notifies the local committee of such designation within a period of time as determined and fixed by the Secretary. In the absence of such a designation and notification by the owner or his representative of any farm for which a single combined tobacco acreage allotment shall be established as provided in this section, the Secretary shall designate such combined allotment for such farm as either a type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco acreage allotment or a type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco acreage allotment after taking into consideration the prevalent kind of tobacco grown in the area in which such farm is located, the curing facilities on such farm, and the proximity and nature of marketing outlets. The single combined tobacco acreage allotment determined as heretofore provided for each farm for the 1958–1959 marketing year shall be in lieu of and shall equal the total of the acreage of the type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco allotment and the acreage of the type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco allotment for the 1958–1959 marketing year established for such farm. No contract entered into under the acreage reserve program for the 1958 crop of type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco or of type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco shall be 72 Stat. 704 affected by the establishment of a single combined tobacco acreage allotment for a farm as provided in this section. If the establishment of farm acreage allotments as provided in this section are approved in the special referendum as heretofore provided in this section, and thereafter two or more farms, of which one or more has a type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco allotment and another or more has a type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco allotment, are combined and operated as a single farm, a single combined tobacco acreage allotment designated for either type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco or type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco as heretofore provided, shall be established for the combined farm in lieu of and shall equal the total acreage of the allotments for type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco established for the farms comprising the combined farm for the marketing year for which such single combined tobacco acreage allotment is established. For marketing years subsequent to the marketing year for which a single combined tobacco acreage allotment is first established for a farm as provided in this section, the history of past marketing or of past harvested acreage from such farm of both type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco shall constitute the past marketing of tobacco or the past harvested acreage of tobacco of such farm in determining a single combined tobacco acreage allotment therefor. “(c) Notwithstanding the national marketing quotas for the marketing year beginning October 1, 1958, announced by the Secretary for each of the two kinds of tobacco described as type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco, each of the State acreage allotments for such kinds of tobacco apportioned by the Secretary to the State of Virginia for the marketing year beginning October 1, 1958, shall be increased or decreased respectively by the amount of acreage equivalent to the corresponding net total change in farm acreage allotments for each of such kinds of tobacco for such marketing year which result from the establishment of single combined tobacco farm acreage allotments as provided in this section. In determining and announcing the amount of the national marketing quotas for type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco, and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco in terms of the total quantity of each of such kinds of tobacco which may be marketed during the marketing year beginning October 1, 1959, and during each of the four succeeding marketing years thereafter, the Secretary shall increase or decrease such national marketing quotas determined as provided in section 312 (b) and the Virginia State acreage allotments for type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco to reflect correspondingly the changes which previously have occurred in the total acreage allotted for each of such kinds of tobacco pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding any marketing quota determined and announced for type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco for the marketing year beginning October 1, 1959, and for each marketing year thereafter, each of the State acreage allotments for such kinds of tobacco apportioned to the State of Virginia for any such marketing year shall be increased or decreased respectively by the amount of acreage equivalent to the corresponding net total change in farm acreage allotments for each of such kinds of tobacco for such marketing year which results from the combination of farms and the establishment of single combined tobacco farm acreage allotments as provided in this section. The sum of the State acreage allotments for type 21 (Virginia) firecured tobacco and type 37 Virginia suncured tobacco determined for any marketing year as 72 Stat. 705provided in section 313 shall not be increased or decreased by reason

[H. R. 6701]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Tennessee River Basin Water Pollution Control Compact.

Congressional consent.
That the consent and approval of Congress is given to the Tennessee River Basin Water Pollution Control Compact, as hereinafter set out. Such compact reads as follows: “TENNESSEE RIVER BASIN WATER POLLUTION CONTROL COMPACT
“Article I “The purpose of this Compact is to promote effective control and reduction of pollution in the waters of the Tennessee River Basin through increased cooperation of the states of the Basin, coordination of pollution control activities and programs in the Basin, and the establishment of a joint interstate commission to assist in these efforts.
“Article II “The party states hereby create the ‘Tennessee River Basin Water Pollution Control Commission’, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Commission’, which shall be an agency of each party state with the powers and duties set forth herein, and such others as shall be conferred upon it by the party states or by the Congress of the United States concurred in by the party states.
“Article III “A. The party states hereby create the ‘Tennessee River Basin Water Pollution Control District’, hereinafter called the ‘District’, which consists of the area drained by the Tennessee River and its tributaries. “B. From time to time the Commission may conduct surveys of the Basin, study the pollution problems of the Basin, and make comprehensive reports concerning the prevention or reduction of water pollution therein. The Commission may draft and recommend to the parties hereto suggested legislation dealing with the pollution of waters within the Basin or any portion thereof. Upon request of a state water pollution control agency, and in a manner agreed upon by such agency and the Commission, the Commission shall render advice concerning the various governments, communities, municipalities, persons, corporations or other entities with regard to particular problems connected with the pollution of waters. The Commission shall present to the appropriate officials of any government or agency thereof its recommendations relating to enactments to be made by any legislature in furthering the intents and purposes of this Article. The Commission, upon request of a member state or upon its own instance may, after proper study, and after conducting public hearings, recommend minimum standards of water quality to be followed in the several areas of the district.
“Article IV “The Commission shall consist of three Commissioners from each state, each of whom shall be a resident voter of such state. The 72 Stat. 824Commissioners shall be chosen in the manner and for the terms provided by the laws of the state from which they are appointed, and each Commissioner may be removed or suspended from office as provided by law of the state from which he is appointed.
“Article V “A. The Commission shall elect annually from its members a Chairman and a Vice Chairman to serve at its pleasure. It shall adopt a seal and suitable by-laws for its management and control. The. Commission is hereby authorized to adopt, prescribe and promulgate rules and regulations for administering and enforcing all provisions of this Compact. It may maintain one or more offices for the transaction of its business. Meetings shall be held at least once each year. It may determine duties, qualifications and compensation for and appoint such employees and consultants as may be necessary and remove or replace them. “B. The Commission shall not compensate the Commissioners for their services but shall pay their actual expenses incurred in and incidental to the performance of their duties. “C. The Commission may acquire, by gift or otherwise, and may hold and dispose of such real and personal property as may be appropriate to the performance of its functions. In the event of sale of real property, proceeds may be distributed among the several party states, each state’s share being computed in a ratio to its contributions; and in the event of dissolution of the Commission, the property and assets shall be disposed of and proceeds distributed in a like manner. “D. Each Commissioner shall have one vote. One or more Commissioners from a majority of the party states shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but no action of the Commission imposing any obligation on any party state or any municipality, person, corporation or other entity therein shall be binding unless a majority of all of the members from such party state shall have voted in favor thereof. The Commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and disbursements, and shall submit to the Governor and the legislature of each party state an annual report concerning its activities, and shall make recommendations for any legislative, executive or administrative action deemed advisable. “E. The Commission shall at the proper time submit to the Governor of each party state for his approval an estimate of its proposed expenditures. The Commission shall subsequently adopt a budget and submit appropriation requests to the party states in accordance with the laws and procedures of such states. “F. The Commission shall not pledge the credit of any of the party states. The Commission may meet any of its obligations in whole or in part with funds available to it, from gifts, grants, appropriations or otherwise, provided that the Commission takes specific action setting aside such funds prior to the incurring of any obligation to be met in whole or in part in this manner. Except where the Commission makes use of funds already available to it, the Commission shall not incur any obligations prior to the making of appropriations adequate to meet the same. “G. The accounts of the Commission shall be open at any reasonable time to the inspection of such representatives of the respective party states as may be duly constituted for that purpose. All receipts and disbursements of funds handled by the Commission shall be audited yearly by a qualified public accountant, and the report of the audit shall be included in and become a part of the annual report of 72 Stat. 825the Commission. The Commission shall appoint an Executive Director. The Commission shall also appoint a Treasurer who may be a member of the Commission. The Executive Director shall be custodian of the records of the Commission with authority to attest to and certify such records and copies thereof under the seal of the Commission. The Commission shall require bonds of its Executive Director and Treasurer in the amount of at least twenty-five per cent of the annual budget of the Commission.
“Article VI “Each of the Commission’s budgets of estimated expenditures shall contain specific recommendations of the amount or amounts to be appropriated by each of the party states. In determining these amounts, the Commission shall prorate one-half of its budget among the several states in proportion to their land area within the district, and shall prorate the other half among the several states in proportion to their population within the District at the last preceding Federal census.
“Article VII “A. It is recognized, owing to such variable factors as location, size, character and flow and the many varied uses of the waters subject to the terms of this Compact, that no single standard of sewage and waste treatment and no single standard or quality of receiving waters is practical and that the degree of treatment of sewage and industrial wastes should take into account the classification of the receiving waters according to present and proposed highest use, such as for drinking water supply, industrial and agricultural uses, bathing and other recreational purposes, maintenance and propagation of fish life, navigation and disposal of wastes. “B. The Commission may establish reasonable physical, chemical and bacteriological standards of water quality satisfactory for various classifications of use. It is agreed that each of the signatory states through appropriate agencies will prepare a classification of its interstate waters in the district in entirety or by portions according to present and proposed highest use, and for this purpose technical experts employed by appropriate state water pollution control agencies are authorized to confer on questions relating to classification of interstate waters affecting two or more states. Each signatory state agrees to submit its classification of its interstate waters to the Commission for approval. It is agreed that after such approval, all signatory states through their appropriate state water pollution control agencies will work to establish programs of treatment of sewage and industrial wastes which will meet standards established by the Commission for classified waters. The Commission may from time to time make such changes in definitions of classifications and in standards as may be required by changed conditions or as may be necessary for uniformity and in a manner similar to that in which these standards and classifications were originally established.
“Article VIII “A. A state pollution control agency of any party state may certify to the Commission an alleged violation of the Commission’s standards of quality of water entering said state. Upon such certification the Commission may call a hearing at which the appropriate state pollution agencies shall be represented. If the Commission finds a violation has occurred, is occurring or is likely to recur, it shall make recommendations as to the manner of abatement of the pollution to 72 Stat. 826the appropriate water pollution control agency of the party state within which the violation has occurred, is occurring or is likely to recur. In the event that Commission recommendations made pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Article do not result in compliance within a reasonable time, the Commission may, after such further investigation if any as is deemed necessary and proper and after a hearing held in the state where a violation occurs or has occurred, issue an order or orders upon any municipality, person, corporation or other entity within said party state violating provisions of this Compact by discharging sewage or industrial wastes into the waters of the District which flow through, into or border upon any party state. Such order or orders may prescribe the date on or before which such discharge shall be wholly or partially discontinued, modified or treated or otherwise disposed of. The Commission shall give reasonable and proper notice in writing of the time and place of the hearing to the municipality, person, corporation or other entity against which such order is proposed except that when the Commission shall find that a public health emergency exists, it may issue such an order pending hearing. In all such instances, the hearing shall be promptly held and the order shall be withdrawn, modified or made permanent within thirty days after hearing. No order prescribing the date on or before which such discharge shall be wholly or partially discontinued, modified or treated or otherwise disposed of shall go into effect upon a municipality, person, corporation or other entity in any state unless and until it. receives the approval of a majority of the Commissioners from each of not less than a majority of the party states, provided that such order receives the assent of not less than a majority of the Commissioners from such state. “B. It shall be the duty of the municipality, person, corporation or other entity within a party state to comply with any such order against it or him by the Commission, and any court of competent jurisdiction in any of the party states shall have jurisdiction, by mandamus, injunction, specific performance or other form of remedy, to enforce any such order against any municipality, person, corporation or other entity domiciled, located or doing business within such state; provided, however, such court may review the order and affirm, reverse or modify the same in any appropriate proceeding brought and upon any of the grounds customarily applicable in proceedings for court review of administrative decisions. The Commission or at its request, the Attorney General or other law enforcing official of the appropriate state shall have power to institute in such court any action for the enforcement of such order.
“Article IX “Nothing in this Compact shall be construed to limit the powers of any party state, or to repeal or prevent the enactment of any legislation, or the enforcement of any requirement by any party state, imposing any additional conditions and restrictions to further reduce or prevent the pollution of waters within its jurisdiction.
“Article X “A. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be construed so as to conflict with any provision of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Compact or to impose obligations on any party state inconsistent with those which it has undertaken or may undertake by virtue of its membership in said Compact; provided that nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to limit the Commission’s power to set higher standards for the waters of the Tennessee River Basin Water 72 Stat. 827Pollution Control District or any portion thereof than those required for the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation District. “B. Nothing contained in this Compact shall be deemed to give the Commission any regulatory power or jurisdiction over any aspect of pollution abatement or control within the district unless existing or future pollution of such waters does or is likely to affect adversely the quality of water flowing among, between, into or through the territory of more than one party state.
“Article XI “Any two or more of the party states by legislative action may enter into supplementary agreements for further regulation and abatement of water pollution in other areas within the party states and for the establishment of common or joint services or facilities for such purpose and designate the Commission to act as their joint agency in regard thereto. Except in those cases where all member states join in such supplementary agreement and designation, the representatives in the Commission of any group of such designating states shall constitute a separate section of the Commission for the performance of the function or functions so designated and with such voting rights for these purposes as may be stipulated in such agreement; provided that, if any additional expense is involved, the member states so acting shall appropriate the necessary funds for this purpose. No supplementary agreement shall be valid to the extent that it conflicts with the purposes of this Compact and the creation of such a section as a joint agency shall not affect the privileges, powers, responsibilities or duties of the member states participating therein as embodied in the other articles of this Compact.

Out of the charges so collected an amount not in excess of one-half of 1 per centum of such unpaid principal obligations shall be deposited in and become a part of the fund. The remainder of such charges collected shall be deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Secretary and may be transferred annually to the administrative expense account of the Farmers Home Administration and become merged therewith. Each such loan shall he sold at the full amount of the unpaid balance thereof at the time of sale, but no loan shall be sold if such balance exceeds 99 per centum of the amount certified by the county committee to be the value of the farm, less any prior lien indebtedness at the time the loan was made or upon a determination of such fact by the Secretary at the time of sale; “(4) To make loans out of moneys in the fund for the purpose of insuring and selling the same under this section: Provided, however, that no loan made under this item (4) shall be in excess of 90 per centum of the amount certified by the county committee to be the value of the farm less any prior lien indebtedness: And provided further, That no loan shall be made under this item (4) unless the Secretary has reasonable assurance that it can be sold without undue delay.

The amount of the principal obligations on any other loans made by the Secretary and insured under this section shall not be included in computing said aggregate amount. “(d) Loans made from funds advanced by lenders other than the United States may be insured by the Secretary upon terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of this section. Loans made or insured under this section shall be subject to all the provisions of this title except as otherwise provided in this section. “(e) Any loan heretofore or hereafter made or insured under this title may be converted to an insured loan under this section at the discretion of the Secretary, and any expenses in connection with such conversion may be paid out of funds available for administrative expenses. “(f) The Secretary is further authorized to sell any loan heretofore or hereafter made or insured under this title without insurance thereof upon the written consent of the borrower, or without such consent when the borrower has failed to comply with his agreement to refinance the indebtedness at the request of the Secretary. Such loan shall be sold at the full amount of the unpaid balance thereof, and upon such sale the Secretary is authorized to assign the security instrument and evidence of debt in such manner that the United States shall have no further right or obligation with respect to the loan.”

The amount of the principal obligations on any other loans made by the Secretary and insured under this section shall not be included in computing said aggregate amount. “(d) Loans made from funds advanced by lenders other than the United States may be insured by the Secretary upon terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of this section, but no such loan, except loans to associations (including corporations not operated for profit and public or quasi-public agencies), shall be in excess of 90 per centum of the value of the security less any prior lien indebtedness.

August 27, 1958

[H. R. 8308]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Humane methods of slaughter.
That the Congress finds that the use of humane methods in the slaughter of livestock prevents needless suffering; results in safer and better working conditions for persons engaged in the slaughtering industry; brings about improvement of products and economies in slaughtering operations; and produces other benefits for producers, processors, and consumers which tend to expedite an orderly flow of livestock and livestock products in interstate and foreign commerce. It is therefore declared to be the policy of the United States that the slaughtering of livestock and the handling of livestock in connection with slaughter shall be carried out only by humane methods.
Sec. 2. No method of slaughtering or handling in connection with slaughtering shall be deemed to comply with the public policy of the United States unless it is humane. Either of the following two methods of slaughtering and handling are hereby found to be humane: (a) in the case of cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep, swine, and other livestock, all animals are rendered insensible to pain by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical or other means that is rapid and effective, before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut; or (b) by slaughtering in accordance with the ritual requirements of the Jewish faith or any other religious faith that prescribes a method of slaughter whereby the animal suffers loss of consciousness by anemia of the brain caused by the simultaneous and instantaneous severance of the carotid arteries with a sharp instrument.
Sec. 3. The public policy declared herein shall be taken into consideration

Procurement, etc., by U.S. after June 30, 1960.

 by all agencies of the Federal Government in connection with all procurement and price support programs and operations and after June 30, 1960, no agency or instrumentality of the United States shall contract for or procure any livestock products produced or processed by any slaughterer or processor which in any of its plants or in any plants of any slaughterer or processor with which it is affiliated slaughters or handles in connection with slaughter livestock by any methods other than methods designated and approved by the Secretary of Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the Secretary) pursuant to section 4 hereof: Provided, That during the period of any national emergency declared by the President or the Congress, the limitations on procurement required by this section may be modified by the President to the extent determined by him to be necessary 72 Stat. 863to meet essential procurement needs during such emergency. For the purposes of this section a slaughterer or processor shall be deemed to be affiliated with another slaughterer or processor if it controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such other slaughterer or processor. After June 30, 1960, each supplier from which any livestock products are procured by any agency of the Federal Government shall be required by such agency to make such statement of eligibility under this section to supply such livestock products as, if false, will subject the maker thereof to prosecution, title 18, United States Code,

62 Stat. 698.

 section 287.
Sec. 4. In furtherance of the policy expressed herein the Secretary is authorized and directed—

Authority of Secretary of Agriculture.

 (a) to conduct, assist, and foster research, investigation, and experimentation to develop and determine methods of slaughter and the handling of livestock in connection with slaughter which are practicable with reference to the speed and scope of slaughtering operations and humane with reference to other existing methods and then current scientific knowledge; (b) on or before March 1, 1959, and at such times thereafter as he deems advisable, to designate methods of slaughter and of handling in connection with slaughter which, with respect to each species of livestock, conform to the policy stated herein. If he deems it more effective, the Secretary may make any such designation by designating methods which are not in conformity with such policy. Designations by the Secretary subsequent to

Publication in F. R.

 March 1, 1959, shall become effective for purposes of section 3 hereof 180 days after their publication in the Federal Register; (c) to provide suitable means of identifying the carcasses of animals inspected and passed under the Meat Inspection Act (21 U. S. C. 71 and the following) that have been slaughtered

34 Stat. 1260.

 in accordance with the public policy declared herein. Handling in connection with such slaughtering which necessarily accompanies the method of slaughter described in subsection (b) of this section shall be deemed to comply with the public policy specified by this section.
Sec. 5. To assist in implementing the provisions of section 4, the

Advisory Committee.

 Secretary is authorized to establish an advisory committee. The functions of the Advisory Committee shall be to consult with the Secretary and other appropriate officials of the Department of Agriculture and to make recommendations relative to (a) the research authorized in section 4; (b) obtaining the cooperation of the public, producers, farm organizations, industry groups, humane associations, and Federal and State agencies in the furtherance of such research and the adoption of improved methods; and (c) the designations required by section 4.

JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for a Joint session of Congress for commemorating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.

August 27, 1958

[H. J. Res. 648]

 Whereas Thursday, February 12, 1959, will mark the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of the United States; and Whereas Mr. Lincoln is our best example of that personal fulfillment which American institutions permit and encourage; and Whereas his memory endures in the hearts and minds and strivings of his own people in every generation; and Whereas his actions, words, and deeds and their meaning bring hope, fortitude, and renewed conviction to the freedom loving people who are in mental and physical agony all over the world; and Whereas he declared: “I wish all men to be free.”; and Whereas a century ago he said: “Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms. Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere.”; and Whereas he wrote: “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the differences, is no democracy.”; and Whereas he once admonished us: “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.”; and Whereas he calls upon us: “Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor; let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children’s liberty. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges: let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the Nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.”; and Whereas “it is for us the living ... to be dedicated here” to the principles of those who, like Mr. Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion”; and Whereas he was himself once a member of this honorable body; and Whereas on Monday, February 12, 1866, in the presence of the President of the United States, the members of his Cabinet, the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps, officers of the Army and Navy, assistant heads of departments, the governors of States and Territories, and others in authority, the two Houses of Congress convened in joint session to hear “an address upon the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States,” pronounced by an eminent historian, the Honorable George Bancroft: Now, therefore, be it 72 Stat. 933 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Abraham Lincoln Sesquicentennial commemoration, 1959.

That on Thursday, February 12 next, the sesquicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln shall be commemorated by a joint session of the Congress, and to that end the President of the Senate will appoint four Members of the Senate and the Speaker of the House will appoint four Members of the House of Representatives jointly to constitute a Committee on Arrangements.

The Committee on Arrangements shall plan the proceedings, issue appropriate invitations and select a distinguished Lincoln scholar to deliver the memorial address; and be it further

Resolved,
That the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, Secretaries of departments, heads of independent agencies, offices and commissions, the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps, assistant heads of departments, and the members of the Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission be invited to join in this commemoration.

Rules for filing.

 the approval of the Judicial Conference of the United States, rules, which so far as practicable shall be uniform in all such courts prescribing the time and manner of filing and the contents of the record in all proceedings instituted in the courts of appeals to enjoin, set aside, suspend, modify, or otherwise review or enforce orders of administrative agencies, boards, commissions, and officers, to the extent that the applicable statute does not specifically prescribe such time or manner of filing or contents of the record. Such rules may authorize the agency, board, commission, or officer to file in the court a certified list of the materials comprising the record and retain and hold for the court all such materials and transmit the same or any part thereof to the court, when and as required by it, at any time prior to the final determination of the proceeding, and such filing of such certified list of the materials comprising the record and such subsequent transmittal of any such materials when and as required shall be deemed full compliance with any provision of law requiring the filing of the record in the court. The record in such proceedings shall be certified and filed in or held for and transmitted to the court of appeals by the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned within the time and in the manner prescribed by such rules. If proceedings have been instituted in two or more courts of appeals with respect to the same order the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned shall file the record in that one of such courts in which a proceeding with respect to such order was first instituted. The other courts in which such proceedings are pending shall thereupon transfer them to the court of appeals in which the record has been filed. For the convenience of the parties in the interest of justice such court may thereafter transfer all the proceedings with respect to such order to any other court of appeals. “(b) The record to be filed in the court of appeals in such a proceeding shall consist of the order sought to be reviewed or enforced, the findings or report upon which it is based, and the pleadings, evidence, and proceedings before the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned, or such portions thereof (1) as the said rules of the court of appeals may require to be included therein, or (2) as the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned, the petitioner for review or respondent in enforcement, as the case may be, and any intervenor in the court proceeding by written stipulation filed with the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned or in the court in any such proceeding may consistently with the rules of such court 72 Stat. 942designate to be included therein, or (3) as the court upon motion of a party or, after a prehearing conference, upon its own motion may by order in any such proceeding designate to be included therein. Such a stipulation or order may provide in an appropriate case that no record need be filed in the court of appeals. It, however, the correctness of a finding of fact by the agency, board, commission, or officer is in question all of the evidence before the agency, board, commission, or officer shall be included in the record except such as the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned, the petitioner for review or respondent in enforcement, as the case may be, and any intervenor in the court proceeding by written stipulation filed with the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned or in the court agree to omit as wholly immaterial to the questioned finding. If there is omitted from the record any portion of the proceedings before the agency, board, commission, or officer which the court subsequently determines to be proper for it to consider to enable it to review or enforce the order in question the court may direct that such additional portion of the proceedings be filed as a supplement to the record. The agency, board, commission, or officer concerned may, at its option and without regard to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, and if so requested by the petitioner for review or respondent in enforcement shall, file in the court the entire record of the proceedings before it without abbreviation. “(c) The agency, board, commission, or officer concerned may transmit to the court of appeals the original papers comprising the whole or any part of the record or any supplemental record, otherwise true copies of such papers certified by an authorized officer or deputy of the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned shall be transmitted. Any original papers thus transmitted to the court of appeals shall be returned to the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned upon the final determination of the review or enforcement proceeding. Pending such final determination any such papers may be returned by the court temporarily to the custody of the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned if needed for the transaction of the public business. Certified copies of any papers included in the record or any supplemental record may also be returned to the agency, board, commission, or officer concerned upon the final determination of review or enforcement proceedings. “(d) The provisions of this section are not applicable to proceedings

Such bond or insurance may limit the liability of the surety or insurer on any one judgment to $10,000, for bodily injuries or death, and $5,000 for damage to property, and on all judgments recovered upon claims arising out of the same subject of action to $20,000 for bodily injuries or death, and $5,000 for damage to property, to be apportioned ratably among the creditors according to the amount of their respective legal obligations. The liability of an insurance company in any policy of insurance or of any indemnity company in a bond issued pursuant to this Act shall, within the limits of coverage required by this Act, become and be absolute for damages adjudged against the insured on account of injuries to or death of persons or damage to or destruction of property resulting from the insured’s ownership, maintenance, or use of the motor vehicle or vehicles described in the said policy or bond.
“Sec. 2. (a) Any policy of liability insurance required by this Act

Insurance companies and sureties.

shall be issued only by such insurance companies as may have been authorized to do business in the District of Columbia, and any bond or undertaking required by this Act shall be secured by a corporate surety approved by the Superintendent. “(b) No insurance company or corporate surety shall engage in or conduct the business of insuring or bonding any risk arising out of 72 Stat. 953the operation of any passenger motor vehicle for hire required to be insured or bonded under this Act unless the Superintendent shall find that the management of such company is capable, by experience or otherwise, of conducting such business in the public interest and unless such insurance company or corporate surety shall possess a certificate of approval issued by the Superintendent for such business. Every such insurance company or corporate surety, whether or not it shall be a mutual company, shall have and shall at all times maintain reserves for losses, unearned premiums, and all other liabilities as will meet the requirements of any regulation issued by the Superintendent applicable to such company or such classifications of companies. The Superintendent is empowered to make reasonable rules and regulations governing the writing of such insurance, and the making of such bonds, and the business of insuring or bonding such risks, including the expenses of management, administration, and acquisition of business and the rates to be charged. “(c) The Superintendent is authorized and empowered, after hearing, to withdraw his certificate of approval of the business of insuring

 or bonding taxicab risks of any insurance company or corporate surety violating any provision of this Act or the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder. “(d) No bond or policy of insurance required by this Act may be canceled unless not less than twenty days prior to such cancellation or termination, notice of intention so to do has been filed in writing with the Commission, unless such cancellation is for nonpayment of premiums, in which event five days’ notice as above provided shall be given.
“Sec. 3. It shall be unlawful to operate any vehicle subject to the provisions of this Act unless such vehicle shall be covered by an approved bond or policy of liability insurance as provided in this Act.

Sinking fund.

 Commission may require, but not to exceed $75,000, and deposit the same, in trust, for the payment of any judgment recovered against such owner, as provided in this Act, with such person, official, or corporation as the Commission shall designate. Such sinking fund shall not be created unless the Commission is satisfied that such owner is possessed and will continue to be possessed of financial ability to pay judgments obtained against such owner. If such a fund has been created, the Commission shall have authority to require whatever evidence of such owner’s financial status may be necessary to satisfy the Commission that such owner is possessed and will continue to be possessed of financial ability to pay judgments obtained against such owner, and may at such time or times as. in its discretion, may be necessary, require such owner to submit in affidavit form detailed information from which such ability may be determined. When upon not less than five days’ notice and a hearing pursuant to such notice (unless the right to such hearing is waived in writing by such owner) the Commission 72 Stat. 954finds that any such owner having created and maintained a sinking fund is not possessed or probably will not continue to be possessed of financial ability to pay judgments obtained against such owner the Commission shall require that such owner file with the Commission a bond or policy of insurance as described in this Act in lieu of such sinking fund and shall thereafter return to the owner the amount of such sinking fund when the Commission is satisfied that the maintenance thereof is not needed to assure the payment of any claim or judgment then outstanding against such owner. Failure to pay any judgment within thirty days after such judgment shall have become final shall constitute a reasonable ground for a finding by the Commission that the owner is not possessed of financial ability to pay judgments. “(b) If any owner elects to comply with paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a) of this section, he shall first file with the Commission an admission of liability, in conformity with the principle of respondeat superior, for the tortious acts of the driver or drivers of such vehicle or vehicles displaying the trade name or identifying design of the company or owner. “(c) Any cash or collateral deposit and/or any sinking fund provided for in this Act shall be exempt from attachment or levy for any obligation or liability of the depositor except as provided in this Act.

 promulgated thereunder shall be deemed a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $300 or by imprisonment for not more than ninety days, and/or cancellation of license.”

 “(a) The numbers of women officers on the active list in the line of the Navy holding permanent appointments in the grades of commander and lieutenant commander may not exceed, respectively, 10 percent and 20 percent of the number of women officers on the active list in the line of the Navy. The Secretary of the Navy, whenever the needs of the service require but at least once annually, shall compute the number of women officers authorized under this section to hold permanent appointments in each of these grades. The number so computed for each grade is the number of women officers on the active list in the line of the Navy prescribed for that permanent grade. The Secretary may, however, determine a lesser number for each grade and, if he determines a lesser number for the grade of commander only, he may determine a number for the grade of lieutenant commander that exceeds the computed number for that grade by the amount of the difference between the computed and determined numbers for the grade of commander. The numbers so determined become the prescribed numbers for the grades concerned until the next computations and determinations are made. “(b) During the period between one computation and the next, the number of officers prescribed for the grade of lieutenant commander under subsection (a) is temporarily increased by the number of officers of that grade for whom vacancies exist in the grade of commander but whose promotion to the grade of commander is delayed for any reason.”

The actual number of Reserve officers in active status at any time shall not exceed these authorized numbers unless the Secretary shall determine that a greater number is necessary for planned mobilization requirements, or unless such excess shall result directly from the operation of mandatory provisions of this or other laws. “(b) The authorized number of officers of the Coast Guard Reserve in active status in each of the grades below the grade of rear admiral shall be a percentage of the total number of such officers in active status below the grade of rear admiral, and shall be 0.6 percent in the grade of captain. 3.5 percent in the grade of commander, 25 percent in the grade of lieutenant commander, 37 percent in the grade of lieutenant, and 33.9 percent in the combined grades of lieutenant (junior grade) and ensign, except that when the actual number of Coast Guard Reserve officers in active status in any grade is less than the number which is so authorized, the difference may be applied to increase the authorized number in any lower grade or grades.

No officer shall serve on two consecutive selection boards when the second of such boards considers any of the officers who were considered but not recommended for promotion to the same grade by the first selection board upon which he served. “(d) Each selection board shall be composed of not less than five members which number shall constitute a quorum. Every officer who is appointed a member of a selection board will swear or affirm that he will without prejudice or partiality and, having in view both the special fitness of officers and the efficiency of the Coast Guard, perform the duties imposed on him as a member of such board. Not less than a majority or the total membership of any selection board must concur in each recommendation made by the board. “(e) Any officer eligible for consideration for promotion by any selection board shall have the right to forward through official channels a written communication inviting attention to any matter of record in the Armed Forces concerning himself which he deems important to his consideration which must arrive at a time not later than the convening of the selection board. The communication may not criticize or reflect upon the character, conduct, or motive of any officer.
“§ 776.

If any or all of such sections are suspended by the President under this section, the Secretary of Defense, prior to the sections suspended being again placed in operation, shall recommend to Congress necessary legislation designed to adjust the grades of Reserve officers and such legislation shall be, insofar as practicable, comparable to any similar legislation recommended for adjustment of the grades of officers of the Regular Coast Guard.
“§ 779. Sea or foreign service requirements “There shall be no requirement for sea or foreign service for the promotion of Reserve officers under this subchapter.
“§ 780. Promotion; recommendations of selection boards “(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all promotions of Reserve officers shall be effected pursuant only to the recommendation of a selection Board. “(b) Selection boards shall be convened from time to time so that Reserve officers in the promotion zone for a particular grade will receive consideration for promotion concurrently with, or as soon as practicable after, their running mates. Separate boards may lie convened to consider officers in one or more grades: or one board may be convened to consider officers in all grades, whichever is most practicable, provided that all members of such boards shall be senior to all officers to be considered by the board. “(c) Each selection board, from among those officers whose names are submitted to it as determined by section 783 of this title, and without regard to existing precedence or seniority, shall recommend for promotion those officers whom it considers to be qualified to assume the duties of the next higher grade. Such officers shall receive consideration in the order of their relative seniority and when the number of officers found to be qualified equals the number of vacancies to be filled, the board need not consider any officers junior to the last officer found to be qualified and recommended for promotion. “(d) Any such junior officers not considered pursuant to subsection (c) of this section shall not be considered to have failed of selection, and the names of such officers shall be again submitted to the next ensuing selection board. “(e) The law and regulations now or hereafter existing relating to the selection for promotion of commissioned officers of the Coast Guard to the grade of rear admiral shall apply to officers of the Reserve except that no officer in the grade of captain shall be eligible for consideration who has not completed a minimum of twenty years of total commissioned Coast Guard or Coast Guard Reserve service. Until January 1, 1963, for purposes of this subsection, in addition to actual commissioned service, a Reserve officer initially appointed in a grade above that of ensign shall be allowed a period of constructive service equal to that of the regular officer next senior to him in precedence who has served continuously on active duty and who has not lost numbers or precedence, computed from the date of such regular officer’s first appointment as ensign up to the date of original appointment of such Reserve officer. “(f) The report of each promotion board shall be submitted to the Commandant for review and transmission to the President for approval. In case any officer or officers recommended by a board for promotion are not acceptable to the President, the final action by the President will disapprove their selection for promotion. 72 Stat. 1551 “(g) The recommendations of promotion boards, as approved by the President, will constitute promotion lists from which promotion of officers of the Reserve will be made, subject to establishment of physical qualification and verification that service subsequent to the convening of the promotion board has remained of satisfactory character. Officers on a promotion list will remain thereon until promoted unless removed by the President for due cause. If an existing promotion list has not been exhausted by the time a later list has been approved, all remaining officers on the older list shall be tendered appointments before use of the later list is commenced. “(h) The procedure of selection boards and the procedures for effecting the promotion of those officers selected shall be as determined by the Secretary.
“§781. Precedence “Officers of the Reserve shall have rank and take precedence in their respective grades among themselves and with officers of the same grades of the Regular Coast Guard respectively in accordance with the dates of rank as stated in their commissions. When Reserve and Regular officers have the same date of rank in a grade, such officers shall take precedence as determined by the Secretary.
“§782. Running mates “(a) Each officer of the Reserve in an active status shall have a running mate who shall be the officer of the Regular Coast Guard of the same grade, exclusive of extra numbers, who is next senior to him in precedence as determined in the manner prescribed in section 781 of this title. “(b) When necessary, new running mates shall be determined at the times and in the manner set forth below: “(1) If a running mate is retired, dies, or otherwise is separated from the service, suffers loss of numbers, or fails to qualify for promotion, the new running mate shall be the officer of the Regular Coast Guard of the same grade who was next senior to the old running mate, exclusive of extra numbers, or if there be no such Regular officer then the most senior Regular officer in the grade. “(2) If an officer of the Reserve suffers loss of numbers, the new running mate shall be the officer of the Regular Coast Guard, exclusive of extra numbers, who is the running mate of the Reserve officer next senior to the officer concerned after the loss of numbers has been effected. “(3) If an officer of the Reserve fails of selection or fails to qualify for promotion and his running mate is promoted, the new running mate shall be the senior officer of the Regular Coast Guard remaining in that grade, exclusive of extra numbers, whose name is not on a promotion list. “(4) If a running mate is retarded in rate of promotion or has attained the highest rank to which he may be promoted, the new running mate shall be the officer of the Regular Coast Guard who is next senior to the old running mate, exclusive of extra numbers, or if there be no such Regular officer then the Regular officer of the same grade who is next eligible for promotion. An officer shall be considered to have been retarded when another officer in his grade junior to him is eligible for promotion ahead of him. If subsequently the old running mate is promoted and is restored to the precedence, he would have held but for the retardation, he shall be reassigned as the running mate of the Reserve officer concerned.
72 Stat. 1552
“§ 783. Promotion zone “Subject to the provisions of section 774 of this title— “(a) an officer of the Reserve shall be deemed to be in the promotion zone when his running mate is in the promotion zone and shall then become eligible for consideration by a selection board for promotion to the next higher grade at approximately the same time as his running mate is considered for promotion; and “(b) an officer whose name is on a promotion list, shall, unless his promotion is withheld pursuant to applicable laws or regulations, be tendered an appointment in the next higher grade at the same time, or as soon thereafter as practicable, as a similar appointment is tendered to his running mate.
“§ 784. Date of rank upon promotion; entitlement to pay “When an officer of the Reserve is promoted to the next higher grade under the provisions of this subchapter either for temporary service or for service in permanent grade, he shall be assigned the same date of rank as that assigned to his running mate for either and/or both types of service and a Reserve officer so promoted shall be allowed pay and allowances of the higher grade for duty performed from the date of his appointment thereto.
“§ 785. Limitation on consideration for promotion “No officer of the Reserve shall receive consideration for promotion or be promoted under any provision of law unless he has attained the minimum number of points prescribed by the Secretary. Such number of points shall not exceed fifty points per anniversary year.
“§ 786. Qualifications for promotion “(a) No officer of the Coast Guard Reserve shall be promoted to a higher grade until he has been found to be mentally, morally, professionally, and physically qualified therefor. “(b) Subsection (a) of this section shall not exclude from the promotion to which he would otherwise be regularly entitled any Reserve officer in whose case a medical board may report that his physical disqualification for duty at sea or in the field was occasioned by wounds received in the line of duty, and that such wounds do not incapacitate him for other duties in the grade to which he shall be promoted.
“§ 787. Failure of selection and elimination “(a)

A Reserve officer not above the grade of lieutenant after failing of selection for promotion to the next higher grade for a second time may be retained in or eliminated from an active status in the discretion of the Secretary. Other Reserve officers whose names are not on a promotion list after failing of selection for promotion to the next higher grade a second time shall be given an opportunity to apply for transfer to the Retired Reserve if qualified, but unless so transferred shall be discharged on June 30 of the fiscal year in which they have completed the following periods of total commissioned service for the grades specified:

Grade Total commisioned service
Captain 30 years
Commander 26 years
Lieutenant commander 20 years

For the purposes of this subsection, the total commissioned service of an officer who shall have served continuously in the Coast Guard Reserve following appointment therein in the grade or rank of ensign shall be computed from June 30 of the fiscal year in which he accepted 72 Stat. 1553appointment. Each Reserve officer initially appointed in a grade above that of ensign shall be deemed to have for these purposes, as much total commissioned service as any officer of the Regular Coast Guard who has served continuously since original appointment as ensign, has not lost numbers or precedence and who is, or shall have been, junior to such Reserve officer, except that the total commissioned service that such Reserve officer shall be deemed to have shall not be less than the actual number of years he has served in commissioned officer status above the grade of commissioned warrant officer.

 “(b) A Reserve officer who is eliminated from an active status under this section— “(1) shall be afforded an opportunity to request transfer to the Retired Reserve, if qualified; and “(2) if qualified, and he elects transfer to the Retired Reserve, shall be so transferred; or “(3) if not transferred to the Retired Reserve under (1) and (2) above, he shall be transferred to the Inactive Status List or discharged in the discretion of the Secretary. “(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), a reserve commissioned officer, other than a commissioned warrant officer, who is assigned to the Selective Service System may be retained in an active status in that assignment until he becomes 60 years of age.
“§ 788. Effect of removal by the President or failure of consent of Senate “The President may remove the name of any officer from the promotion list. An officer whose name is so removed from the promotion list, or one whose appointment to flag rank is rejected by the Senate, shall continue to be eligible for consideration for recommendation for promotion. The next ensuing selection board may recommend the officer concerned for promotion, and thereupon, with the approval of the President, the name of such officer shall be replaced on the promotion list, without prejudice by reason of its having been temporarily removed therefrom, and when promoted such officer shall take the same rank and date of rank that he would have had had his name not been so removed. If such officer is not so recommended by such next ensuing selection board or if the President shall again remove his name from the promotion list or if the Senate shall again reject his appointment, he shall be held for all purposes to have twice failed of selection for promotion.
“§ 789. Maximum ages for retention in active status “(a) A Reserve officer, if otherwise qualified, shall be transferred to the Retired Reserve on the date upon which he becomes sixty-two years of age, except that a Reserve officer initially appointed prior to January 1, 1953, at such age that completion of twenty years of satisfactory Federal service tor retirement purposes cannot be accomplished by age sixty-two may be retained in an active status not later than the date upon which he becomes sixty-four years of age. “(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary may authorize such classes or categories of Reserve flag officers as he may designate to be retained in an active status not later than the date on which the officer concerned becomes sixty-four years of age. “(c) Except as provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, a Reserve officer shall, unless transferred to the Retired Reserve, be discharged effective upon the date he reaches sixty-two years of age.
72 Stat. 1554
“§790. Type of promotion; temporary; permanent “(a) Notwithstanding any other law, if a Reserve officer is promoted when his or her running mate in the Regular Coast Guard is promoted and such promotion of the Regular running mate is on a temporary basis, the promotion of the Reserve officer concerned shall be on a temporary basis, and if subsequently the Regular running mate is reverted to a lower grade (for reasons other than disciplinary or for incompetence or at his own request), the Reserve officer shall likewise revert to the same lower grade in the same manner as his running mate in the Regular service and take corresponding precedence. “(b) An officer of the Reserve shall be promoted for temporary service or promoted permanently dependent upon the character of the promotion extended to his running mate. Subject to satisfactory service, under such appointment for temporary service, the appointment of the officer of the Reserve will be made permanent when that of his running mate is made permanent or would have been made permanent if his temporary service in the higher grade was found to have been satisfactory.
“§ 791. Promotion of officers on active duty “While serving on extended active duty, an officer of the Reserve may be promoted for temporary service in the same manner as an officer of the Regular Coast Guard. If so promoted by reason of being on active duty, the officer concerned will be considered an extra number in the higher grade of the Reserve and when released from such active duty, unless permanently promoted while on extended active duty, shall resume his permanent rank and status in the Reserve. Such officers shall also be considered by promotion boards for officers of the Reserve if they otherwise meet the requirements of this subchapter and the regulations of the Secretary and may be promoted in the normal manner for Reserve officers if qualified under the provisions of this subchapter.
“§ 792. Appointment of former Navy and Coast Guard officers “Former officers of the Navy or Coast Guard who are appointed in the Reserve in the same grades or ranks held in the Regular Navy or Coast Guard as a result of application therefor, made within one year from date of resignation from the Navy or Coast Guard, shall be given the same date of rank as that held by them in the Navy or Coast Guard.
“§ 793. Grades upon relief of retired officers “(a) Reserve officers of the Retired Reserve or officers on a Reserve retired list, when recalled to active duty, shall be recalled in the grades authorized or which may hereafter be authorized for the recall of Regular retired officers. “(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subchapter, any officer recalled to active duty pursuant to subsection (a) of this section and who is advanced to a higher grade under a temporary appointment shall, upon relief from active duty, if his performance of duty under such temporary appointment was satisfactory, be advanced on the retired list to the highest grade held while on active duty.
“§ 794. Regulations “The Secretary may prescribe such regulations, not inconsistent with this subchapter, as he may deem necessary and appropriate in the premises.

It depends as well upon the discovery and development of new principles, new techniques, and new knowledge.</p> <p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">We must increase our efforts to identify and educate more of the talent of our Nation. This requires programs that will give assurance that no student of ability will be denied an opportunity for higher education because of financial need; will correct as rapidly as possible the existing imbalances in our educational programs which have led to an insufficient proportion of our population educated in science, mathematics, and modern foreign languages and trained in technology.</p> <p class="indent0 firstIndent0 fontsize10">The Congress reaffirms the principle and declares that the States and local communities have and must retain control over and primary responsibility for public education.

JOINT RESOLUTION Providing for the construction of demonstration plants for the production, from saline or brackish waters, of water suitable for agricultural, industrial, municipal, and other beneficial consumptive uses.

September 2, 1958

[S. J. Res. 135]

 Whereas official Government reports show unmistakably that the United States population is multiplying at a rate which by 1980 will triple the demand for supplies of fresh water, which if not available will adversely affect the national defense by jeopardizing the economic welfare and general well-being of vast segments of the population of the United States, as well as the population of some of our Territorial possessions; and Whereas many cities, towns, and rural areas are already confronted by shortages of potable water that imperil health; and Whereas the expanding population, industry, and agriculture of the United States are becoming increasingly dependent upon an assured augmented supply of fresh water while the future welfare and national defense of the United States rest upon increased sources of fresh water; and Whereas research by governmental agencies, educational institutions, and private industry has brought about the evolution, on a limited scale, of methods of desalting sea water and the treatment of brackish water which give promise of ultimate economical results; and Whereas the United States Government has the responsibility, along with safeguarding the national defense, and protecting the health, welfare, and economic stability of the country, to transform these experiments into production tests on a scale not possible of achievement otherwise; and Whereas the Congress recognized its responsibility in this field by the

42 USC 1951 et seq.

enactment in 1952 of the Saline Water Act (66 Stat. 328), reaffirmed its position by the amendments to such Act in 1955 (69 Stat. 198); and the legislative history of such Acts reveals that the Congress recognized even then that the time had arrived for tackling the problem more realistically and effectively, but unfortunately the program was limited to such an extent that concrete results are not possible of attainment under the provisions of existing legislation; and Whereas the Congress now finds it is in the national interest to demonstrate, with the least possible delay, in actual production tests the several optimum aspects of the construction, operation, and maintenance of sea water conversion and brackish water treatment plants: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled

Saline water research.

Demonstration plants.

66 Stat. 328.

,
That (a) the Secretary of the Interior shall, pursuant to the provisions of the Act of July 3, 1952, as amended (42 U. S. C. 1951–1958), and in accordance with this joint resolution, provide for the construction, operation, and maintenance of not less than five demonstration plants for the production, from sea water or brackish water, of water suitable for agricultural, industrial, municipal, and other beneficial consumptive uses. Such plants shall be designed to demonstrate the reliability, engineering, operating, and economic potentials of the sea or brackish water conversion processes which the Secretary shall select from among the most promising of the presently known processes, and each plant shall demonstrate a different process. A decision with respect to the process to be utilized in the first of these five plants shall be made by the Secretary within six months after the date of approval of this joint resolution and decisions with respect to the processes to be utilized in the 72 Stat. 1707 other plants shall follow at intervals of not more than three months.

Report to Congress.

 Each such decision shall be reported promptly to the Congress and the construction of the plants shall proceed as rapidly as is possible. (b) The construction of the demonstration plants referred to above shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) Not less than three plants shall be designed for the conversion of sea water, and each of two plants so designed shall have a capacity of not less than one million gallons per day; (2) Not less than two plants shall be designed for the treatment of brackish water, and at least one of the plants so designed shall have a capacity of not less than two hundred and fifty thousand gallons per day; and (3) Such plants shall be located in the following geographical areas with a view to demonstrating optimum utility from the standpoint of reliable operation, maintenance, and economic potential— (A) At least one plant which is designed for the conversion of sea water shall be located on the west coast of the United States, at least one such plant shall be located on the east coast thereof, and at least one such plant shall be located on the gulf coast thereof; and (B) at least one plant which is designed for the treatment of brackish water shall be. located in the area generally described as the Northern Great Plains and at least one such plant shall be located in the arid areas of the Southwest. (c) As used in this joint resolution, the term “demonstration plant” means a plant of sufficient size and capacity to establish on a day-to-day operating basis the optimum attainable reliability, engineering, operating, and economic potential of the particular sea water conversion process or the brackish water treatment process selected by the Secretary of the Interior for utilization in such plant.
Sec. 2. The Secretary of the Interior shall enter into a contract

Contracts.

 or contracts for the construction of the demonstration plants referred to in the preceding section, and the Secretary shall enter into a separate contract or contracts for the operation and maintenance of such plants. Any such operation and maintenance contract shall provide for the compilation by the contractor of complete records with respect to the operation, maintenance, and engineering of the plant or plants specified in the contract. The records so compiled shall be made available to the public by the Secretary at periodic and reasonable intervals with a view to demonstrating the most feasible existing processes for desalting sea water and treating brackish water. Access by the public to the demonstration plants herein provided for shall be assured during all phases of construction and operation subject to such reasonable restrictions as to time and place as the Secretary of the Interior may require or approve.
Sec. 3. The Secretary is authorized to accept financial and other

Public assistance.

 assistance from any State or public agency in connection with studies, surveys, location, construction, operation, or other work relating to saline or brackish water conversion problems and facilities for such conversion, and to enter into contracts with respect to such assistance, which contracts shall detail the purposes for which the assistance is contributed. Any funds so contributed shall be available for expenditure by the Secretary in like manner as if they had been specifically appropriated for purposes for which they are contributed, and any funds not expended for these purposes shall be returned to the State or public agency from which they were received.
Sec. 4. The authority of the Secretary of the Interior under this

Termination of authority.

 joint resolution to construct, operate, and maintain demonstration plants shall terminate upon the expiration of seven years after the date on which this joint resolution is approved. Upon the expiration 72 Stat. 1708 of such seven-year period the Secretary shall proceed as promptly as practicable to dispose of any plants so constructed by sale to the highest bidder, or as may otherwise be directed by Act of Congress. Upon such sale, there shall be returned to any State or public agency which has contributed financial assistance under section 3 of this Act a proper share of the net proceeds of the sale.
Sec. 5. The powers conferred on the Secretary of the Interior by

Administration.

 this joint resolution shall be in addition to and not in derogation of the authority conferred on the Secretary by the Act of July 3, 1952, as amended (42 U. S. C. 1951–1958). The provisions of such Act, except as otherwise provided in this joint resolution, shall be applicable in the administration of this joint resolution.
Sec. 6. When appropriations have been made for the construction

 or operation and maintenance of any demonstration plant under this joint resolution, the Secretary may, in connection with such construction or operation and maintenance, enter into contracts for construction, for materials and supplies, and for miscellaneous services, which contracts may cover such periods of time as he shall consider necessary but under which the liability of the United States shall be contingent upon appropriations being available therefor. Unobligated appropriations heretofore made to carry out the Act of July 3, 1952 (66 Stat. 328), as amended (42 U. S. C. 1951 and following) shall be available for administrative and technical services, including travel expenses and the procurement of the services of experts, consultants, and organizations thereof in accordance with section 15 of the Act of August 2, 1946 (60 Stat. 806), as amended (5 U.

[H. R. 8735]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

D. C. teachers’ retirement annuities, increase.
That (a) the annuity of each retired employee who, on August 1, 1958, is receiving or is entitled to receive an annuity from the District of Columbia teachers’ retirement and annuity fund based on service which terminated prior to October 1, 1956, shall be increased by 10 per centum, but no such increase shall exceed $500 per annum. (b) The annuity otherwise payable from the District of Columbia teachers’ retirement and annuity fund to— (1) each survivor who on August 1, 1958, is receiving or entitled to receive an annuity based on service which terminated prior to October 1, 1956, and (2) each survivor of a retired employee described in subsection (a) of this section, shall be increased by 10 per centum. No increase provided by this subsection shall exceed $250 per annum. (c) No increase provided by this section shall be computed on any additional annuity purchased at retirement by voluntary contributions.
Sec. 2. The unremarried widow or widower of an employee— (1) who had completed at least ten years of service creditable for retirement purposes under “An Act for the retirement of public school teachers in the District of Columbia”, approved August 7, 1946 (60 Stat. 875), as amended. 72 Stat. 1769 (2) who died before May 1, 1952, and (3) who was at the time of his death (A) subject to an Act under which annuities granted before May 1, 1952, were or are now payable from the District of Columbia teachers retirement and annuity fund or (B) retired under such Act, shall be entitled to receive an annuity. In order to qualify for such annuity, the widow or widower shall have been married to the employee for at least five years immediately prior to his death and must be not entitled to any other annuity from the District of Columbia teachers retirement and annuity fund based on the service of such employee. Such annuity shall be equal to one-half of the annuity which the employee was receiving on the date of his death if retired, or would have been receiving if he had been retired for disability on the date of his death, but shall not exceed $750 per annum and shall not be increased by the provisions of this or any other prior law. Any annuity granted under this section shall cease upon the death or remarriage of the widow or widower.
“Sec. 3. (a) An increase in annuity provided by subsection (a), or clause (1) of subsection (b), of the first section of this Act shall take effect on August 1, 1958. An increase in annuity provided by clause (2) of such subsection (b) shall take effect on the commencing date of the survivor annuity. “(b) An annuity provided by section 2 of this Act shall commence on August 1, 1958, or on the first day of the month in which application for such annuity is received by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia or their designated agent, whichever occurs later. “(c) The monthly installment of each annuity increased or provided by this Act shall be fixed at the nearest dollar.
“Sec. 4. The annuities and increases in annuities provided by the preceding sections of this Act shall be paid from the District of Columbia teachers retirement and annuity fund. Such annuities and increases in annuities shall terminate for each fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 1960, for which the Congress has failed to make provision for the payment of like annuities and increases in annuities under the Act approved June 25, 1958 (72 Stat. 218), for such fiscal year. For any fiscal year for which such annuities and increases in annuities shall terminate for the reason set forth in this section, the preceding sections of this Act shall not be in effect and annuities and increases in annuities shall be determined and paid as though such sections had not been enacted. Nothing contained in this section shall be held or considered to prevent the payment of annuities and increases in annuities provided by the preceding sections of this Act for any fiscal year for which the Congress shall have made provisions for the payment of like annuities and increases in annuities under such Act approved June 25, 1958 (72 Stat. 218).”

(a) A food additive shall, with respect to any particular use or intended use of such additives, be deemed to be unsafe for the purposes of the application of clause (2) (C) of section 402 (a), unless— “(1) it and its use or intended use conform to the terms of an exemption which is in effect pursuant to subsection (i) of this section; or “(2) there is in effect, and it and its use or intended use are in conformity with, a regulation issued under this section prescribing the conditions under which such additive may be safely used. While such a regulation relating to a food additive is in effect, a food shall not, by reason of bearing or containing such an additive in accordance with the regulation, be considered adulterated within the meaning of clause (1) of section 402 (a). “Petition To Establish Safety “(b) (1) Any person may, with respect to any intended use of a food additive, file with the Secretary a petition proposing the issuance of a regulation prescribing the conditions under which such additive may be safely used. “(2) Such petition shall, in addition to any explanatory or supporting data, contain— “(A) the name and all pertinent information concerning such food additive, including, where available, its chemical identity and composition; “(B) a statement of the conditions of the proposed use of such additive, including all directions, recommendations, and suggestions proposed for the use of such additive, and including specimens of its proposed labeling; “(C) all relevant data bearing on the physical or other technical effect such additive is intended to produce, and the quantity of such additive required to produce such effect; “(D) a description of practicable methods for determining the quantity of such additive in or on food, and any substance formed in or on food, because of its use; and “(E) full reports of investigations made with respect to the safety for use of such additive, including full information as to the methods and controls used in conducting such investigations. “(3) Upon request of the Secretary, the petitioner shall furnish (or, if the petitioner is not the manufacturer of such additive, the petitioner shall have the manufacturer of such additive furnish, with- 72 Stat. 1786 out disclosure to the petitioner) a full description of the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the production of such additive. “(4) Upon request of the Secretary, the petitioner shall furnish samples or the food additive involved, or articles used as components thereof, and of the food in or on which the additive is proposed to be used. “(5) Notice of the regulation proposed by the petitioner shall be published in general terms by the Secretary within thirty days after filing. “Action on the Petition “(c) (1) The Secretary shall— “(A) by order establish a regulation (whether or not in accord with that proposed by the petitioner) prescribing, with respect to one or more proposed uses of the food additive involved, the conditions under which such additive may be safely used (including, but not limited to, specifications as to the particular food or classes of food in or in which such additive may be used, the maximum quantity which may be used or permitted to remain in or on such food, the manner in which such additive may be added to or used in or on such food, and any directions or other labeling or packaging requirements for such additive deemed necessary by him to assure the safety of such use), and shall notify the petitioner of such order and the reasons for such action; or “(B) by order deny the petition, and shall notify the petitioner of such order and of the reasons for such action. “(2) The order required by paragraph (1) (A) or (B) of this subsection shall be issued within ninety days after the date of filing of the petition, except that the Secretary may (prior to such ninetieth day), by written notice to the petitioner, extend such ninety-day period to such time (not more than one hundred and eighty days after the date of filing of the petition) as the Secretary deems necessary to enable him to study and investigate the petition. “(3) No such regulation shall issue if a fair evaluation of the data before the Secretary— “(A) fails to establish that the proposed use of the food additive, under the conditions of use to be specified in the regulation, will be safe: Provided, That no additive shall be deemed to be safe if it is found to induce cancer when ingested by man or animal, or if it is found, after tests which are appropriate for the evaluation of the safety of food additives, to induce cancer in man or animal; or “(B) shows that the proposed use of the additive would promote deception of the consumer in violation of this Act or would otherwise result in adulteration or in misbranding of food within the meaning of this Act. “(4) If, in the judgment of the Secretary, based upon a fair evaluation of the data before him, a tolerance limitation is required in order to assure that the proposed use of an additive will be safe, the Secretary— “(A) shall not fix such tolerance limitation at a level higher than he finds to be reasonably required to accomplish the physical or other technical effect for which such additive is intended; and “(B) shall not establish a regulation for such proposed use if he finds upon a fair evaluation of the data before him that such data do not establish that such use would accomplish the intended physical or other technical effect. 72 Stat. 1787 “(5) In determining, for the purposes of this section, whether a proposed use of a food additive is safe, the Secretary shall consider among other relevant factors— “(A) the probable consumption of the additive and of any substance formed in or on food because of the use of the additive; “(B) the cumulative effect of such additive in the diet of man or animals, taking into account any chemically or pharmacologically related substance or substances in such diet; and “(C) safety factors which in the opinion of experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety of food additives are generally recognized as appropriate for the use of animal experimentation data. “Regulation Issued on Secretary’s Initiative “(d) The Secretary may at any time, upon his own initiative, propose the issuance of a regulation prescribing, with respect to any particular use of a food additive, the conditions under which such additive may be safely used, and the reasons therefor. After the thirtieth day following publication of such a proposal, the Secretary may by order establish a regulation based upon the proposal. “Publication and Effective Date of Orders “(e) Any order, including any regulation established by such order, issued under subsection (c) or (d) of this section, shall be published and shall be effective upon publication, but the Secretary may stay such effectiveness if, after issuance of such order, a hearing is sought with respect to such order pursuant to subsection (f). “Objections and Public Hearing “(f) (1) Within thirty days after publication of an order made pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this section, any person adversely affected by such an order may file objections thereto with the Secretary, specifying with particularity the provisions of the order deemed objectionable, stating reasonable grounds therefor, and requesting a public hearing upon such objections. The Secretary shall, after due notice, as promptly as possible hold such public hearing for the purpose of receiving evidence relevant and material to the issues raised by such objections. As soon as practicable after completion of the hearing, the Secretary shall by order act upon such objections and make such order public. “(2) Such order shall be based upon a fair evaluation of the entire record at such hearing, and shall include a statement setting forth in detail the findings and conclusions upon which the order is based. “(3) The Secretary shall specify in the order the date on which it shall take effect, except that it shall not be made to take effect prior to the ninetieth day after its publication, unless the Secretary finds that emergency conditions exist necessitating an earlier effective date, in which event the Secretary shall specify in the order his findings as to such conditions. “Judicial Review “(g) (1) In a case of actual controversy as to the validity of any order issued under subsection (f), including any order thereunder with respect to amendment or repeal of a regulation issued under this section, any person who will be adversely affected by such order may obtain judicial review by filing in the United States Court of Appeals for the circuit wherein such person resides or has his principal place 72 Stat. 1788of business, or in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, within sixty days after the entry of such order, a petition praying that the order be set aside in whole or in part. “(2) A copy of such petition shall be forthwith served upon the Secretary, or upon any officer designated by him for that purpose, and thereupon the Secretary shall certify and file in the court a transcript of the proceedings and the record on which he based his order. Upon such filing, the court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to affirm or set aside the order complained of in whole or in part. The findings of the Secretary with respect to questions of fact shall be sustained if based upon a fair evaluation of the entire record at such hearing. The court shall advance on the docket and expedite the disposition of all causes filed therein pursuant to this section. “(3) The court, on such judicial review, shall not sustain the order of the Secretary if he failed to comply with any requirement imposed on him by subsection (f) (2) of this section. “(4) If application is made to the court for leave to adduce additional evidence, the court may order such additional evidence to be taken before the Secretary and to be adduced upon the hearing in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as to the court may seem proper, if such evidence is material and there were reasonable grounds for failure to adduce such evidence in the proceedings below. The Secretary may modify his findings as to the facts and order by reason of the additional evidence so taken, and shall file with the court such modified findings and order. “(5) The judgment of the court affirming or setting aside, in whole or in part, any order under this section shall be final, subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United States upon certiorari or certification as provided in section 1254 of title 28 of the United States Code. The commencement of proceedings under this section shall not, unless specifically ordered by the court to the contrary, operate as a stay of an order. “Amendment or Repeal of Regulations “(h) The Secretary shall by regulation prescribe the procedure by which regulations under the foregoing provisions of this section may be amended or repealed, and such procedure shall conform to the procedure provided in this section for the promulgation of such regulations. “Exemptions for Investigational Use “(i) Without regard to subsections (b) to (h), inclusive, of this section, the Secretary shall by regulation provide for exempting from the requirements of this section any food additive, and any food bearing or containing such additive, intended solely for investigational use by qualified experts when in his opinion such exemption is consistent with the public health.”

General.

The following tables are designed to serve as a guide to prior laws and other Federal instruments which are patently amended, repealed, referred to, or otherwise cited by the textual provisions of the public laws and reorganization plan contained in this volume. Beginning with Volume 71 of the United States Statutes at Large, these tables are being published as an integral part of each volume. They were initiated as a separate pamphlet accompanying Volume 70, covering the enactments of the 84th Congress, second session.

From time to time the tables will be cumulated and made separately available as a convenience to users. Coverage and arrangement are subject to change with a view to improved usefulness.

The arrangement of the tables is outlined above. There are two basic groups: (1) Tables 1–10 cover amendments, repeals, and other actions directly affecting prior laws and other Federal instruments; and (2) Tables 11–19 cover all citations and other references to prior laws and other Federal instruments.

Details of Arrangement.

Tables 1–9 are limited to cases in which prior laws and other Federal instruments are expressly affected.

Table 10 is a catch-all table designed as a finding aid to relationships which are expressed in general terms. Listed in this table are all public laws in this volume which contain such provisions as “notwithstanding any other provision of law,” and “all laws in conflict with this law are hereby repealed.”

1803 1804

Tables 11–19 cover all cases in which prior laws or other Federal instruments are mentioned in the text of the public laws and reorganization plan in this volume, without regard to the purpose underlying such reference. Hence there is some coincidental duplication of items carried in the first group of tables.

In each of the basic groups the first and largest table is entitled “General Legislation,” and contains listings of all laws affected which have not been codified in the Revised Statutes, the Internal Revenue Codes, or in those titles of the United States Code which have been enacted into positive law. Succeeding tables cover these codified provisions, as well as other instruments such as reorganization plans, veterans’ regulations, Executive orders and proclamations, and treaties and international agreements. The numbering of the tables in the two groups is parallel. Thus Table 2 and Table 12 both relate to the Revised Statutes; Table 7 and Table 17 both relate to veterans’ regulations.

Table 1 is arranged chronologically. In preparing this table the “basic act” principle has been followed. Under this principle the key listing of amendatory legislation will be found under the basic act affected, rather than under intervening amendments thereto. Furthermore, all laws included are treated as if tables covering prior volumes of the United States Statutes at Large were in existence. Thus, no attempt is made to give an historical picture of a law, and only the latest amendment in the chain will be reflected. Occasionally, to promote clarity, cross references have been supplied at key points.

Users of Table 1 should, therefore, look under the date or statutes volume and page number of the basic act affected, in order to determine whether changes have been made by the public laws contained in this volume. Although a given section of any act may have been added at a later date, the section is carried under the date and statutes citation of the basic act. For this reason the page numbers in the column headed “Statutes volume and page” are the numbers of the page on which each act begins.

All tables are arranged chronologically, except where the existence of a system of codification makes possible a sequential arrangement from the lowest to the highest title or section number. In Tables 1–10 there is a “Comment” column, in which the nature of the affecting action is described. These are editorial comments, intended to reflect what is patent in the laws reviewed, and every effort has been made to avoid interpretations.

In Tables 11–19 the “Comment” column is unnecessary, since in each instance the comment would be “Cited” or “Referred to.” In these tables, moreover, the number of columns has been held to a minimum in the interest of brevity. Thus Table 11 contains only three columns listing the date and number of the law referred to, and the page number in this volume at which the reference may be found.

Caveat.

All the tables are editorially compiled and presented as reference guides only. Hence they have no evidentiary status or legal effect. Indirect or implied relationships are not included. These may be found through use of the Subject Index or through research based on the text itself.

The Office of the Federal Register invites criticisms or suggestions with a view to improving the tables wherever possible.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICE

Any person in Government service should:

1. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country above loyalty to persons, party, or Government department.

2. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion.

3. Give a full day’s labor for a full day’s pay; giving to the performance of his duties his earnest effort and best thought.

4. Seek to find and employ more efficient and economical ways of getting tasks accomplished.

5. Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not; and never accept, for himself or his family, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the performance of his governmental duties.

6. Make no private promises of any kind binding upon the duties of office, since a Government employee has no private word which can be binding on public duty.

7. Engage in no business with the Government, either directly or indirectly, which is inconsistent with the conscientious performance of his governmental duties.

8. Never use any information coming to him confidentially in the performance of governmental duties as a means for making private profit.

9. Expose corruption wherever discovered.

10. Uphold these principles, ever conscious that public office is a public trust.

62 Stat. 1248.

 Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624), the Secretary of Agriculture advised me there was reason to believe that tung oil is being, and is practically certain to continue to be, imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price-support program undertaken by the Department of Agriculture with respect to tung nuts and tung oil, or to reduce substantially the amount of products processed in the United States from domestic tung nuts or tung oil with respect to which such program of the Department of Agriculture is being undertaken; and WHEREAS, on March 21, 1957, I caused the United States Tariff

Theodore Roosevelt Centennial Year
October 27, 1957–October 27, 1958

October 22, 1957

[No. 3208]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

Theodore Roosevelt loved America with impassioned devotion and served her greatly in public office and as a private citizen. As President of the United States, his name is associated with epochal readjustments in the relations of government and industry, with the policy of conservation which he established, with the building of the Panama Canal, and with the peace that ended the Russo-Japanese War. His appeals to conscience sank deep into the American heart and mind and wrought enduring changes.

A man of rich gifts in many fields, at home alike in the world of books, the world of politics, and in the wild waste spaces where adventure called, he was historian and ranchman, huntsman and naturalist, Rough Rider, preacher, family man, and explorer. His contemporaries cherished him as a two-fisted fighter who loved life, loved people, feared nobody, and was as much at ease with kings as with cowboys, a wielder alike of the winged phrase and of the sledge hammer, a dangerous antagonist, and an unforgetting, unforgettable friend.

Upon us who stand outside the circle of time in which men felt his personal spell, Theodore Roosevelt exercises a different and, perhaps, a deeper power. We see, and claim for our own, the word, the spirit, and the example that survive for us in this teacher of the principles underlying democratic institutions—this summoner to participation in the procedures of free government, adjuring us, as he entreated the men and women of his own time, to accept the responsibilities of free 72 Stat. c12 citizenship. He was a man on fire for his country, who kindles fires in our hearts. He was a prophet, calling upon us to fulfill our responsibilities not only for the sake of our own Nation and people but for the sake of those, throughout the world, who look to us for hope, inspiration, and leadership.

Theodore Roosevelt Centennial Year, 1957–1958.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, in consonance with a request made by the Congress in its joint resolution approved by me on

71 Stat. 617.

 September 4, 1957 (Public Law 85–297), do hereby call upon the American people to observe the one hundredth anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s birth throughout the centennial year beginning October 27, 1957, by appropriate activities and ceremonies, by the study of his life and teachings, and above all, by individual, personal rededication to those responsibilities of American citizenship which he so zestfully fulfilled.

At the autumnal season of the year our hearts move us to follow the wise and reverent custom, inaugurated by our Pilgrim Fathers more than three centuries ago, of setting aside one special day for expressions of gratitude to a merciful Providence for the blessings bestowed upon us.

It behooves us to dwell upon the deep religious convictions of those who formed our Nation out of a wilderness, and to recall that our leaders throughout the succeeding generations have relied upon Almighty God for vision and strength of purpose.

As a Nation we have prospered; we are enjoying the fruit of our land and the product of our toil; we are making progress in our efforts to translate our national ideals into living realities; and we are at peace with the world, working toward that day when the benefits of freedom and justice shall be secured for all mankind.

For such blessings let us be devoutly thankful, and at the same time let us be sensitive and responsive to the obligations which such great mercies entail.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President

Thanksgiving Day, 1957.

of the United States of America, having in mind the joint resolution of Congress approved December 26, 1941, which designates the

Let the happiness which stems from family reunions on Thanksgiving Day be tempered with compassion and inspired by an active concern for those less fortunate in our own country and in other lands; and let us ask God’s continuing help and guidance in our conduct, both as individuals and as a Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

3252 August 1, 1958 NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER, 1958 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation
72 Stat. c51 National Day of Prayer, 1958

August 1, 1958

[No. 3252]

 by the president of the united states of america A PROCLAMATION

Our fathers trusted in God, and they were not confounded. Believing that all men are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,” they conquered the wilderness, built homes, charted the course of free institutions, and defended their liberties against forces which threatened from within and from without.

In our time, buffeted by unprecedented changes and challenged by an aggressive denial of Divine Providence, we have continuing need of the wisdom and strength that come from God, and we shall always find our highest satisfaction in a steadfast purpose to know and to do His will.

In this spirit, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved April 17, 1952 (66 Stat. 64), has provided “That the President shall set aside and

36 USC 185.

proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.”

It is a privilege to carry out this resolution, and I accordingly set

National Day of Prayer, 1958.

aside Wednesday, the first day of October 1958, as a National Day of Prayer; and I call upon my fellow Americans and all who may be visitors in our country, each according to his own faith, to join in prayer for our Nation and for all mankind, and especially:

 First, that we may be humbly mindful that this Nation, under God, arrived at its present position by the toil and sacrifice of many citizens who subordinated personal interests to the common welfare and passed on to us a heritage with which we are singularly blessed; Second, that we may have Divine guidance in our efforts to lead our children in the paths of truth and to provide a healthy environment in which they may grow in body, mind, and spirit; Third, that we may ever exercise a compassionate concern for human suffering, whether at home or in distant lands, and that we may strive to alleviate hunger, eradicate disease, and advance the well-being of our neighbors; Fourth, that we may be saved from blinding pride and from any act hurtful to the concord of free nations joined in building a just and durable peace under the guiding hand of Almighty God;

And, finally, that we may have courage to move forward in the unconquerable spirit of a free people, strong in faith, having a will to endure the burdens which have been given us to carry in our day, and to work toward goals of human betterment which may be attained only beyond our span of years.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

DONE at the City of Washington this first day of August in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, and of [seal] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-third.

I also direct the appropriate agencies of the Federal Government to assist in this national effort to reduce the loss of life and property resulting from fires.
