The Independent Offices Appropriation Act of 1944 (57 Stat. 170) provided "That the National Resources Planning Board is abolished effective August 31, 1943, and the functions exercised by such Board shall not be transferred to any other agency and shall not be performed after such date except as hereafter provided by law or as authorized in the ensuing proviso of this paragraph with respect to winding up the Board's affairs: Provided further, That the Director of the Board is authorized after August 31, 1943, and until January 1, 1944 to perform such duties and to exercise such administrative authority as may be incident to the effectuation of the discontinuance of the Board." 4. Liaison Office for Personnel Management.. Established within the Executive Office of the President by Executive Total, Executive Office (except war agencies) 1943. 6. War agencies (Office for Emergency Management)... Executive Order 9347 of May 27, 1943, created the Office of War Mobilization within the Office for Emergency Management. Its purpose was to provide for the "more effective coordination of the mobilization of the Nation for war." Executive Order 9361 of July 15, 1943, expanded the role of the Office of War Mobilization in foreign economic affairs. The result of these Orders was, for all practical purposes, to shift control and direction of the war effort from the Office for Emergency Management to the Office of War Mobilization. When the President, by letter of Nov. 3, 1943, accepted the resignation of the Liaison Officer for Emergency Management, he appointed no successor-thus terminating the liaison activities of the Office for Emergency Management. The 1943-44 winter edition of "The United States Government Manual" reports on p. 61 that "The Office for Emergency Management is primarily a framework within the confines of the Executive Office of the President, within which framework various civilian war agencies have been established. It has served as a major device for organizing the war program." Since the Office for Emergency Management existed in the Executive Office after Nov. 3, 1943, as a paper organization only, performing no staff, administrative, or liaison function for the President, it cannot thereafter be considered a principal division of the Executive Office within the spirit of the Reorganization Act of 1939 (53 Stat. 561) or Executive Order 8248 of Sept. 8, 1939. 7otal, Executive Office (including war agencies), 1943. 1 The Budget (for the fiscal year ending June 39, 1945), pp. 42-46. 2 Ibid., p.

The Budget for fiscal 1945 does not itemize NRPB employees for 1943. However, of the $1,159,946.58 expended by NRPB in 1943, $631,577.22 was for "Salaries and expenses." "This compares with $644,157.15 expended by NRPB for salaries and expenses in 1942 (The Budget for fiscal 1944, p. A 30). Since the Director of NRPB had until Jan. 1, 1944, to effect the final abolishment of the Board, it is likely that its employee total for 1943 was not far below the 1942 total of 174. Also, The Budget for fiscal 1944 reported an estimate of 220.1 employees for NRPB in 1943. 5 Allotted to the Liaison Office for Personnel Management from the "Emergency fund for President, national defense." 6 Plus an estimated 170 from the NRPB (see note 4 above) for an approximate total of 723.4. 7 Excludes Executive Office expenditures of $75,000 and $15,000 for the salaries of the President and the Vice President respectively; $145,620.39 for maintenance of the Executive Mansion and grounds. 8 Not calculated. Besides OEM, this figure includes the expenditures of the Office of Censorship, Price Administration, and Strategic Services, and the Petroleum Administration for War, the War Refugee Board, and miscellaneous accounts. However, OEM agencies account for the overwhelming percentage of this total. 10 Since the war agencies' expenditures rose from $288,475,912.36 in 1942 to $1,643,055,451.60 in 1943, it is reasonable that the number of war agency personnel would increase proportionately from its 1942 total of 547.984.2. Thus, something over 2,000,000 employees might be a fair guess for the entire Executive Office, including the war agencies, in 1943.

Besides agencies within the Office of Emergency Management, this figure includes war agencies that for the purpose of this report are not considered to be within the Executive Office of the President.

While for budgetary and organizational purposes the National Security Council and National Security Resources Board appear to have been considered a part of the Executive Office from the time of their creation by Congress in 1947 (61 Stat. 496), they were formally transferred to the Executive Office of the President by Reorganization Plan 4 (63 Stat. 1067) of 1949, which became effective Aug. 20, 1949. 7. Office of Government Reports...... 1 The Budget (for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, pp. 43-49). With this edition of The Budget, positions within the various organizational units of the Federal Government began to be reported in 2 ways for each unit: (1) total number of permanent employees, and (2) average number of all employees. 2 Ibid., pp. A 35-A 36. 3 Excludes Executive Office expenditures of $108,437 for the salary and expenses of the President; and $240,032 for the Executive Mansion and grounds (including $14,992 for an addition to mansion and for improvement of the mansion and grounds). The Office for Emergency Management continues an enigma. The U.S. Government Organization Manual for 1949 reports that "at present the Office for Emergency Management consists of the Philippine Alien Property Administration." If that is the case, then OEM had 126 positions in 1949 according to The Budget for fiscal 1951 (p. 49). Table 8 of that same budget, however, reports on pp. A35-A36 that OEM continues to act as a sort of holding company for war agencies in the process of liquidation or reconversion. Although OEM no longer casts a disproportionate shadow over the Executive Office in terms of its personnel and expenditures, it will continue to be listed separately because of its dubious connection with the Executive Office.

Pursuant to the authority granted in the Defense Production Act of 1950, approved Sept. 8, 1950 (64 Stat. 798), the President issued Executive Order 10193 creating the Office of Defense Mobilization in the Executive Office of the President. Executive Order 10193 vested in Office of Defense Mobilization the functions contained in the provisions of Executive Orders 10161 of Sept. 9, 1950, and 10172 of Oct. 12, 1950.

This figure accounts for the employees of the Philippine Alien Property Administration, which officially composes the Office for Emergency Management. This figure includes expenditures of the Office of Defense Transportation, Office of Temporary Controls, and Philippine Alien Property Administration, all of which are listed in The Budget for fiscal 1952 (p. 47) as components of the Office for Emergency Management.

Office for Emergency Management+ By Executive Order 10254 of June 15, 1951, effective June 29, 1951, the Philippine Alien Property Administration was abolished and its functions transferred to the Department of Justice. Since the Administration was the sole component of the Office for Emergency Management the abolishment left the latter without any function. It remains inactive. Total, Executive Office, 1951. 1 The Budget (for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953), pp. 59-65. 2 Ibid., p. 59. 3 Although the Office of Defense Mobilization had no appropriations for 1951, it was funded by $5,953 from "Expenses of defense production, Executive Office of the President," and $358,270 from "Emergency fund for the President, national defense." (See The Budget for fiscal 1953, p. 64.) Although the Office for Emergency Management became inactive on June 29, 1951, when Executive Order 10254 took effect, it continued to exist as a dormant organizational unit within the Executive Office of the President. Like the Liaison Office for Personnel Management, it accounts for no employees nor expenditures in The Budget. It continued to be listed as a component of the Executive Office in the U.S. Government Organization Manual until the June 1956 edition, after which time it has been listed as 'inactive" in app. A of subsequent manuals. 5 Excludes Executive Office expenditures of $150,000 for compensation of the President; and $259,687 for the Executive Mansion and grounds. |
