Mr. ROONEY. How much will you get for the ones that will be replaced by these? Mr. TRONE. We have a total program, and if I may Mr. ROONEY. I asked how much will you get for the old ones that will be replaced? Mr. TRONE. May I explain that? Mr. ROONEY. If the answer is so much, let us have it. Mr. TRONE. We plan proceeds of $322,300 from the sale of replaced passenger-carrying vehicles. We also plan $94,225 proceeds from the sale of replaced trucks. This makes a total of $416,525. Mr. ROONEY. Where is that going to go? Mr. TRONE. That is going to be used to round up the total program. Mr. ROONEY. This is something new, is it? Mr. TRONE. No, sir. This has been going on for years and years and years. Mr. ROONEY. Well, all I can say is it looks as if you will have enough money to buy any vehicles you may need without any appropriation. Mr. TRONE. No, sir. The total program anticipates the acquisition of 400 vehicles; 160 would be funded from S. & E., which is this appropriation, and Mr. ROONEY. We are only talking about this appropriation. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL Mr. ROONEY. The next tab is entitled "Office of Personnel" beginning at page 300 of the justifications. I must say, Mr. Rosen, you are about as patient a gentleman as we have had for a long time. You have been sitting here and listening to this hearing since 10 o'clock this morning. It is now 4:15 in the afternoon. We shall see if we can expedite your appearance. Mr. ROSEN. Thank you. Mr. ROONEY. We shall at this point insert in the record pages 300 through 314 of the justifications. (The pages follow :) Increase-decrease statement, fiscal years 1964 and 1965 1964 availability.. 1965 estimate.. Difference... Explanation of difference: Adjustments to the base: Nonrecurring costs of 1 day's pay in excess of Justification ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BASE Nonrecurring costs for 1 day's pay in excess of 52-week base--- This decrease represents the amount of the basic salary and related costs for 1 less working day in 1965 of all positions carried forward from the fiscal year 1964. Pay act costs____. INCREASES REQUESTED FOR 1695 In fiscal year 1965, $156,300 will be required to put pay act increases which are to take effect Jan. 5, 1964, on a full-year basis. The increase represents 52 percent of a full-year cost. Within-grade salary costs---- In fiscal year 1965, $81,400 will be required for within-class increases which will become effective during the year. The increase is based on an average increase in annual salary rate of $100-plus benefits for each position carried forward from fiscal year 1964 into fiscal year 1965. It reflects the actual Department-wide experience for fiscal year 1963 and takes into consideration anticipated savings from personnel turnover and grade-to-grade or class-to-class promotions. Improved support----- Bureau of Employees' Compensation, increase, $12,900.-This increase is required under sec. 209 of Public Law 86-767 for compensation benefits (total of $22,900) paid to employees from the employees' compensation fund during the fiscal year 1963 on account of injury or death, subsequent to Dec. 1, 1962, of Department of State employees paid from this appropriation. This law required that each appropriation shall be charged on a postfacto basis for the expenses involved in injury or death. International travel, increase, $1,801,000.-In fiscal year 1965. funds will be required for the following additional trips above the number provided in 1964: 347 post-to-post transfers with home leave, 122 post-to-U.S. transfers with home leave, 51 round-trip home leave. The cost of the additional trips is offset in part by a reduction in average trip costs resulting from greater use of economy air travel. Travel regulations are being amended to expand the use of economy-class accommodations. This new policy will reduce total costs of international travel by an estimated $457,000, resulting in a net increased requirement of $1,801,000. Medical program, increase, $41,200.-This increase of $41,200 is required to pay increased hospitalization costs at military hospitals due to revised rates for per diem charges for employees and dependents resulting from the Military Pay Act of 1963.
