Table showing comparison of receipts, expenditures, and losses for the period 1941-60 Mr. Bow. When will the new dining room in the East Front be in operation? Mr. STEWART. The new dining room should be equipped and in operation sometime the latter par of the summer of 1961. Mr. Bow. About a year from now? Mr. STEWART. We are shooting for September 1961 for final completion of our interior. This is a part of the interior, but of necessity, I will be slowed down with my work on the interior when the inauguration is going to take effect and I cannot go full speed ahead until after the 15th of February. Mr. Bow. But, you will be in the new dining room at that time? Mr. STEWART. I would say that in my own judgment it is anticipated that will be equipped and ready to go next year. Mr. Bow. What will that do to our budget when it becomes operational? Is that going to help or hurt? Mr. STEWART. If the present techniques and mode of operation are continued in the handling of this food, with the addition of some new facilities that we will be able to install and the addition of the cafeteria, I would say that if any material difference in costs results, it would be a further decrease-not an increase. Mr. Bow. What is the difference in your profit and loss operations insofar as the House cafeteria and House dining room is concerned? From where does your loss come? Mr. ZMAYUSKI. All of the loss comes from the dining room. Mr. Bow. That dining employees? room is used by both Members and Mr. Bow. Do you make a profit on the cafeteria? Mr. Bow. How much is your profit over there? Mr. Roof. In the first 6 months of this fiscal year it was $10,766. Mr. Bow. No, in the East front of the Capitol. occupancy Mr. STEWART. That will come along around September of next year. This year we will move as fast as we can to get it finished. Mr. Bow. Do you think we will be able to move some of the Appropriations subcommittees in by then? Mr. STEWART. I would say so. It all depends-and there is no way I can anticipate how much of a drag there will be on this work with the inauguration going on. On the interior work, I do not worry about carrying on the work itself; but getting material and equipment into the building during the construction and removal of the inaugural stands is the real problem. Mr. Bow. Thank you very much. Mr. NORRELL. Are there any further questions? If not, we appreciate your coming before us and thank you so much. Mr. STEWART. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the courteous hearing you have accorded us. Mr. NORRELL. The committee will stand adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WITNESSES APRIL 25, 1960.
