But last Dec. 31 leg islation previously passed by congress became effective. It prohibited pro-hibited use of treasury funds to pay for the paperwork involved in postwar lend lease pipeline shipments. The state department then collected col-lected from the recipient countries, coun-tries, including Russia, money to pay for the paperwork but the general accounting office ruled it ' 4. 1 .
