To the Congress of the United States:

mendation on the claim of Equity Advertising Agency, Inc., 810 7th Avenue,
New York, N.Y. 10019, for $19,256.94. -The claim arises from a recruitment
advertisement placed in nine newspapers, listed below, through Equity
Advertising by the Environmental Protection Agency without prior written
approval by proper authorities.

     Philadelphia Inquirer               $2,119.26
     Chicago Tribune                      2,917.20
     San Franciso Examiner                2,305.50

     The claim for services rendered without a formal contract was

tion of 44 U.S.C. 5 3702 rhich states as follows:

     executive department of the Goverrment, or for a

     lished in a newspaper except under written authority
     from the head of the department; and a bill for
     advertising or publication may not be paid unless
     there is presented with the bill a copy of the
     written authority.
