In addition, I have with me a series of 8 charts that have been prepared to present graphically this analysis. In utilizing these charts, it must be emphasized that the employment of the fleet varies from month to month, and to be consistent, and to obtain the best comparable data, the employment for each year covered was pegged as of the last day of each calendar year. The committee may desire to insert these charts in the record at this point. I would like to offer that for the record. I want to thank the chairman for his patience with all of these charts. Senator POTTER. Not at all. They will be made a part of the record at this point. (The charts referred to are as follows:) | zv. US.
