17expended under such appropriations in the prior fiscal year which ended June 30.

20expended or obligations incurred unless there shall be adequate revenues to meet the
21expenditures therefor. For such reason the committee may make reductions of such
22appropriations as in its judgment will secure sound financial operations of the
23administration for said state agencies and at the same time interfere least with their
24services and activities.".
