Finally, the remaining $124,000 is required for inflationary cost increases associated with normal operations of the White House Offices which includes printing, office supplies and various contractual services.

Concurrent with our fiscal year 1984 request, we are also requesting funding in the amount of $640,000 for the fiscal year 1983 pay supplemental. These monies are required for the October 1982 4 percent general schedule pay raise, the January 1983 executive pay cap lift and the government's share of contributions for the Medicare tax and the two health insurance increases. For this request we were able to identify $200,000 in savings which represents a 24 percent absorption of the total estimated cost.

In closing, the budget requests before you were designed to provide for the continuance of essential support and assistance to the President and are vital in the conduct of his diverse duties and responsibilities as President of the United States.

I am grateful to this committee for their recognition, understanding, and support of these paramount activities during this past

year.

Mr. Chairman, this concludes my statement. I would be glad to answer any questions you or any other members of the committee may have again this year.

ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSES

Mr. ROYBAL. Thank you, Mr. Rogers. You explained in general what expense accounts are available to the President for entertainment expenses within the Office of the President. Now, what other appropriations are available in the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and other executive agencies?

Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. It is my understanding that the Department of State provides to the Executive Residence at the White House funding to cover state dinners. That portion of so-called entertainment is covered by the State Department.

Within the Executive Office of the President there is no other account, with the exception of the $20,000 that is appropriated for White House entertainment, and that is primarily for staff entertainment rather than solely for the use of the President.

Mr. ROYBAL. What about the Department of Defense?

Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. The Department of Defense, to my knowledge, sir, does not provide any entertainment expense.

Mr. ROYBAL. If there is any entertainment, they do it directly? Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. Exactly.

Mr. ROYBAL. Can you tell the committee how the White House is now organized?

Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. Yes, I would be happy to present for the record our current organization chart.

Mr. ROYBAL. This will be made part of the record at this point. [The organization chart follows:]

Mr. JOHN F. W. Rogers. The organization chart which you have now is actually the same chart you saw last year with very minor changes, those being the personnel that have departed. It has continued to be the way we have organized into three functional areas. One, policy; two, execution; and the third being the direct support of the President-his scheduling and advance work. There is really no basic change from what I discussed last year.

Mr. ROYBAL. You talked about some savings. Still, there is an increase in the budget of $1.4 million. Can you further explain the savings?

STANDARD LEVEL USER CHARGE

Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. Yes. I will take one area for example. In the area of SLUC, in last year's request, prior to your decision to put a freeze on the GSA charges, we had proposed an increase closer to $3 million with the rate increase. What we found, and actually this was the first time it was ever done, was through examination of our overhead costs in that particular area. GSA provides a very complicated bill of all their space rentals and how they determine their charges. We examined that very carefully and found that we were being overcharged in a number of areas, or paying other agencies' bills, or that the classification for a particular office was mislabeled. For example, they were calling certain offices lab or clinic space, and therefore the charge for that space was douled, and in our effort to reduce costs, we corrected those invoices and so on, and that dramatically lowered our costs so that what ou have in front of you today, $672,000 as an increase, is much ess than what we proposed last year.

In fiscal 1982 as a result of the 16 percent reduction, we made a major effort to reduce costs in every single area. This resulted priarily in postponement of a lot of projects that we feel we have to ontinue with from 1983 to 1984.

WHITE HOUSE PERSONNEL

Mr. ROYBAL. Is it possible for you to provide the committee with he names of the personnel in the White House, or is that too large list?

Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. I will be happy to provide you with it. It a full-time complement of 322 people, but I would be happy to rovide you that listing.

Mr. ROYBAL. All right. We would like to have a listing of the pernnel assigned to the staff of the First Lady and the cost of that,

0.

Mr. JOHN F. W. ROGERS. Of the 322 full time permanent staff of e White House Office 71 are commissioned by the President of e United States. I will provide for the record a list of the Comissioned Officers and a breakdown of the staff of the First Lady's ffice.
