LEVELLAND (SN-NS)— Rep-
resentative George Mahon pre-
dicted today that Congress at
this session will reduce Uie Pre-
sident's request for funds inex-
cess of six billion dollars.
Mahon reported that the pres-
ent Congress has devoted a
great majority of its timetothe
battle of the budget, in his ca-
pacity asChairmanoftheHou.se
Appropriations Committee, Ma-
hon has been in the thick of the
spending battle since the Presi-
dent submitted his budget in
January.
He pointed out that during the
past two years Congress trad ap-
proved many new and expensive
programs—too many according
to Mahon. He thinks the present
Congress deserves credit ra-
ther than criticism for its de-
cision not to embark on exten-
sive additional ventures in gov-
ernment programs. A number
of programs have been renew-
ed and some have been expand-
ed. but on the whole Mahon
