Texas Unemployment Cozapensation CourIssion, -ace 4
It will be noted from the foregoing that the Texas
Legislature to the fullest extent accepted the provisions and
conditions set forth in the federal aot and designated the
Texas Unemployment Compensation Oomlission as the agenoy to
operate the enployaent service in Texas and as the agenoy to
oooperate with the United States mAployment Servioe in every
respect. The answer, therefore, to your first question is
that the Texas Unemployment Co;Lpensation Camission can ad-
minister an employment service in aooordanoe with the provi-
sions of the Aot of June 6, 1933 (48 STAT 113) and can submit
a plan to the proper federal agenoy in connection therewith.
Sinoe the creation of the United States hployment
service, the functions of this bureau have been consolidated
at different times with the duties of various departaLents of

this Act oorresponded with tlhoce of the Aot of June 6, 1933,
with the exceptions that it pertained particularly to veterans,
(29 USCA Sec. 695a). In other words, the functions of the
United States employment Service was broadened so as to deal
specifically with veterans.
Upon the dissolution of the War Lanpower Comission,
the functions of the United Statos Employment Service was trans-
ferred to the Department of Labor, and it is through this de-
parti-ent that the federal government is returning the employment
service to the states. The Labor-Fe eral Seourity A propriation
Bill, 1947, which provides for the return of this service to the
states provides in part as follows:
"For grants to the several States (including
Alaska and Hawaii), beginning November 16, 1946,
