contact, to speak of, with the disposal agencies to determine the problems they would have to cope with. The Chairman of the Board was neither nominated nor confirmed at the time this estimate was originally gone into; it was worked up almost entirely, if I might use the expression, out of hand. Mr. TABER. Are we going to take up these items separately, or altogether? Mr. CANNON. We will take them up altogether. Mr. TABER. You have got in here a total of $1,398,000 as against an original estimate of somewhere around $1,000,000. Colonel HowSE. May I assist you there: I think we had an original estimate of $702,000, for 157 positions. Mr. TABER. Is that it? Colonel HowSE. Yes. Mr. TABER. And you are asking for $1,398,000? Colonel HowSE. That is correct, $1,398,000 for 318 man-years. Mr. TABER. And how much did you have this year; that is, how much do you have now, as of the present time? Colonel HowSE. You mean people actually employed? Mr. TABER. Yes, right now, how many have you actually got? Colonel HowSE. Approximately 100.. Mr. TABER. You have now about 100? Colonel HowSE. Yes. DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONNEL, 1945 Mr. TABER. And how are they distributed? In the office of the Board how many have you now? Colonel HowSE. Mr. Taber, may I file that for you? I do not have the information with me, but I will be glad to file it with the committec, if you like. (Information requested follows:) Mr. TABER. And in the Office of the Administrator? Colonel HowSE. Two. Mr. TABER. You have a Deputy Administrator? Colonel HowSE. I have one; yes. Mr. TABER. How many in his office; the Deputy, and the staff service. DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONAL SERVICES, 1946 Mr. TABER. I wonder if you could give us a break-down. I am not going to ask you to give us a detailed break-down of what you have on that administrative picture, although perhaps we ought to have it but I would like a break-down on that general division and the compliance division. I would like to have you give us a detailed break-down of what those 10 employees would be and what would be their duties. Do you have that? Colonel HowSE. It has been furnished to the committee. I think that Mr. Cannon has one in front of him. Mr. CANNON. All the functions of these various offices are given. Mr. TABER. Oh, yes. Mr. CANNON. They are all set out in detail. Mr. TABER. Yes; but there is not a detailed break-down of how you would get to this figure of 10, or the $42,000. We do not have anything in the nature of green sheets on the subject so that we can tell anything about it. Mr. MCNAMARA. It is in the chart that the chairman has. Mr. CANNON. Here is a chart of the number of persons and their functions and salaries. Mr. BURROWs. There is, in addition, a tabulation by grades. Mr. TABER. That covers the whole business rather than the individual items, so we cannot follow, that very well, can we? Mr. MCNAMARA. They relate back to the chart, though. The like grades are put together the same as they are on the green sheets. Do you have any more of these charts? I think it would be advisable if each member of the subcommittee had one. I do not see how we can handle this thing on the floor unless we have the picture in the record somewhere. Perhaps you can give it to us in tabular form. Mr. CANNON. I suggest that you break the chart down into tabular form and include it in your transcript. (The table is as follows:) |
