<br />~<::tvv <br /> <br />at all, but I just want to make this point. <br />Although there have been projects completed <br />which won't require any further work by the <br />Bureau, when they had several projects that <br />they were working on out of the Durango <br />office with an appropriation of,say, a half I <br />million dollars and they had a staff of <br />employees in the Bureau office that was <br />doing that work, they would generally con- <br />centrate on gertain projects with their <br />entire staff' and then when they would get <br />through with a certain phase of that, they <br />would be able to transfer that crew over to <br />.work o~ another project, so the projects <br />that were getting primary consideration and <br />investigation were getting the benefit of <br />the entire staff of the office at a much <br />larger investigation appropriation figure <br />than they would if they cut the appropria- <br />tion down and used a fewer number of men <br />working on a fewer number of projects. <br /> <br />What we hope can be done is that these <br />offices can be maintained at the general <br />level that they have had as far as their <br />personnel is concerned so that they can <br />concentrate that entire force of effort on <br />the remaining projects that still have to <br />be completed. Now the problem that we are <br />so concerned with is that we are so far be- <br />hind our neighbori~g states in the comple- <br />tion of the investigation reports and the <br />authorization reports that we feel that these <br />offices shouldn't Pe cut as a project is fin- <br />ished and leave a fewer number of men to <br />work on the remaining projects but should <br />leave the entire staff of the office to wind <br />them up in the shortest possible time. <br /> <br />That's the reason 1 was saying that 1 <br />thought that the restoration of the cut at <br />the Durango office would run over $200,000 <br />and like 1 say, 1 didn't mean to be arguing <br />the point. I just wanted to make my thought <br />on the matter clear." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"1 might say, Bill, that we apparently <br />have different information, 1 am not sure <br />on what. Mr. La~son said this morning <br />that he misinformed you on certain cuts. <br />Now 1 don't know what he had reference to. <br />He said that the cut, the actual cut, was <br /> <br />" <br />
