materials.
The following items are provided for under this allotment, and
require increases. The continued installation of office automation
equipment throughout the Senate has increased the amount of
electrical work performed and electrical supplies required for
maintenance of electrical systems. The increasing number of requests
for items constructed or provided by the Carpenter Shop calls for
more materials and accessory items. The age of installed plumbing
systems has continued to require additional replacement valves,
fittings, pumps, tanks, etc. Deterioration of building hardware
requires greater expenditure in this area. An expanded program of
hardware repair and replacement is underway for aesthetic and
operational concerns. Finishes have worn, mechanisms are worn and
much hardware needs general upgrading. Additional space within the
central wing of the Hart and Dirksen Senate Office Buildings has
increased the requirement to stock and replace bulbs and tubes.
general, there is greater concern for lighting maintenance and the
replacement of burned out tubes and bulbs. Increased public traffic,
especially for evening events, within the Senate Office Buildings has
generated increased use of toilet facilities. The increasing variety
and complexity of projects and programs has required many
miscellaneous needs as well as the specific item categories
enumerated above. In general, the increasing emphasis on upgrading
the levels of maintenance in the Senate Office Buildings requires
that these levels of expenditure be allowed for Fiscal Year 1989.
