8. "Preoccupancy" consists of the direct cost of selection of initial tenants and deficits in operating revenues (otherwise referred to as operating capital) up to a date 1 year after

9. "Architects and engineering" consists of fees fixed by contract for architectural and engineering services, including fees for engineers and landscape architects, other professional
fees for consultants and similar advisers, cost of the clerk of the works, inspectors, and other costs of inspection paid by the local authority. It also consists of sundry costs, such as

Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. Also the table appearing on page 405 showing "Funds advanced by United States Housing Authority to local authorities and borrowings by local authorities from other sources for United States Housing Authority-aided projects." I should appreciate it if you would bring that up to date also. Mr. KEYSERLING. We will put that in the record.
