tion of lower priority activities.

1. Employment security operations.-The Bureau of Employment Security provides national leadership in the development, improvement and operation of a nationwide Federal-State employment security system. Through its unemployment insurance service the Bureau is responsible for the direction of the national unemployment insurance system comprising three major income maintenance programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment insurance for ex-servicemen, and unemployment insurance for Federal employees. Direction is provided for State operation of the training allowance provisions of the Manpower Development and Training Act. The Bureau gives national leadership, direction, and coordination for programs and operations of a nationwide system of public employment offices providing local manpower services. Responsibilities in this area include the basic employment service functions provided under the Wagner-Peyser Act as well as additional programs required by the Manpower Development and Training Act, Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, and the Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act. In 1966 the Bureau will emphasize services to youth by directing and coordinating the expansion and improvement of youth employment services in all major metropolitan areas; improve the quality, form and collection of job vacancy data; and continue to expand the automation of Bureau operation and management.

2. Apprenticeship and training operations.-The Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training provides promotion and technical assistance to employers, trade associations, labor unions and other national and community groups to develop, install and conduct apprenticeship and other onthe-job training programs. Programs designed to develop all-round skills of craftsmen, refresher training for journeymen and operators, and remedial and upgrading training for unemployed or underemployed workers are promoted by contact at national levels, and by cooperation with State and community agencies concerned with manpower development. In programs voluntarily subscribed to and administered by management and labor, more than 230,000 apprentices, journeymen, and allied industrial workers receive training each year. About 2,000 new programs are initiated and 3,000 improvements in training system ad

MANPOWER ADMINISTRATION-Continued

General and special funds-Continued

SALARIES AND EXPENSES-Continued ministration, practices and content are obtained annually. The Bureau, working with employers, applicant training groups and other participating organizations, develops Manpower Development and Training Act on-the-job training projects for the unemployed. To assure effective projects, field representatives evaluate training facilities and needs, review and approve project proposals, and inspect training in progress to assure compliance with standards and training agreements. The Bureau arranges for the performance of similar promotional and technical services by appropriate State apprenticeship agencies. Skill requirements and training needs within particular industries are identified and training research is performed to develop information on the nature and extent of training in American industry as well as characteristics of trainees. In 1966 the Bureau will give emphasis to increasing the number of on-the-job training projects.

3. Manpower Administration operations.-This activity provides for the executive direction, supervision, overall planning, evaluation and coordination of the Department of Labor's Manpower Administration carried out by the Office of the Manpower Administrator. Through the Office of Manpower, Automation and Training, this activity provides a program of automation and manpower research. The research program includes, among others, studies of current and prospective manpower requirements and resources, skill requirements and supply, job opportunities and occupational outlook, factors which tend to impede labor mobility, manpower utilization, and occupational training problems of youth. This activity also funds manpower research contracts with other Government agencies and in academic and other private institutions. The Manpower Report of the President and the Secretary of Labor's Report on Manpower Requirements, Resources, Utilization, and Training are prepared and issued annually as required by the Manpower Act and a program of experimental and demonstration training projects is administered.

Through the Office of Financial and Management Services, the activity provides total administrative staff support to the Office of the Manpower Administrator and the Office of Manpower, Automation and Training, financial management of the Manpower Development and Training Act including contract administration, and personnel administration for the Manpower Administration.

Assistance to workers.-The Secretary is responsible for the administration of the provisions of the act for assistance to workers in industries in which an affirmative determination of injury due to tariff concessions has been made. This involves certification of the eligibility of groups of workers to apply for adjustment assistance and advising the President on termination of eligibility; administering adjustment assistance through State employment security agencies; and providing training and relocation for eligible workers. The Tariff Commission has not made any affirmative findings to date and none appear imminent. The need for a separate appropriation account has therefore not materialized and the minimum standby activities will be financed in the future as a part of the Bureau of International Labor Affairs.
