§ 313c
1 So in original. Probably should be followed by a comma.
vided: ‘‘That the Chief of the Weather Bureau is au-
thorized and directed to study fully and thoroughly the
internal structure of thunderstorms, hurricanes, cy-
clones, and other severe atmospheric disturbances, par-
ticularly the degree of turbulence within such storms
and the development, maintenance, and magnitude of
updrafts and downdrafts with a view to establishing
methods by which the characteristics of particular
thunderstorms may be forecast and methods by which
the characteristics of such storms may be determined
on visual observation from outside of the immediate
thunderstorm area. Such study shall be concluded at
the earliest practicable date and a final report sub-
mitted to Congress.
‘‘SEC. 2. The Chief of the Weather Bureau is empow-
ered to make such expenditures at the seat of govern-
ment and elsewhere as may be necessary to carry out
the purposes of this Act and as from time to time may
be appropriated for by Congress, including expenditures
for the development and purchase of special meteoro-
logical instruments and other equipment (including
motor vehicles and aircraft), without regard to the pro-
visions of section 3709 of the Revised Statutes [now 41

priated such sums as are necessary for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Act.

Chief of the Weather Bureau in carrying out the pur-
poses of this Act, and for such purposes may lend or
transfer to the Chief of the Weather Bureau any officer
