The carillon, a gift to the people of the United States from the people of The Neth erlands, has had no major Constellation II Typewriter maintenance since it was erected in 1960 and has become almost unusable. The biggest bells cannot be tolled because no one is certain it is safe to do so.

The balance of the money, to be drawn from regular maintenance funds over a four to five-year period, will go to repair the tower's deteriorating base and to clean and resurface the peeling, rusted plates, with $150,000 going toward restoring the mechanisms that play the bells. Dickenson's announcement came in response to inquiries from House minority leader Gerald R. Ford and two fellow Republican representatives from western Michigan, all of whose districts have large numbers of voters of Dutch descent. The congressmen learned of the carillon's dilapidated state from a story in the Washington Post.

Other Parks Service officials and engineers, who have studied the carillon, expressed doubt that the work could be properly done unless a firm experienced in complicated steelwork was called in. "I hope this won't be just camouflage designed to make it look better," one official said. "The carillon needs basic work, and it needs to be done by specialists." Dickenson said the project would have to be done piecemeal because he has been unable to secure an appropriation under the normal capital investment budget.
