This function represents the staff and resources for the traditional care, maintenance, operation services provided by the Architect. A great deal of central staff support is utilized for this function, although for purposes of separation of functions, the cost of such support staff is not allocated to this category.

This function represents the staff and resources for the custodial services, 1.e., cleaning and associated activities, provided by the Architect. Also included in this function are various auxiliary services, such as: garage and parking attendant services; health and physical fitness services; furniture and furnishing services; public address system services; and occupant services for ice delivery and room set ups.

This function represents the occasional special projects that have been undertaken by the office, such as master planning, and furniture and interior studies of certain buildings. At the present time, minimal staff, and dollars are being specifically designated or allocated to the Special Projects function, but it is nevertheless an integral responsibility and activity of the office.

This function represents the overall central office administrative staff and resources responsible for overseeing all of the Architect's duties. This includes top management staff and such administrative staff as accounting, payroll, personnel, budget, legal, information resources management, miscellaneous central staff, and the key architectural and engineering staff responsible for overseeing all of the specialized functions under those areas. Included in the activities engaged in by central support staff are, by law, functions associated with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, the District of Columbia Zoning Commission. In addition, the office participates in the National Building Museum, art selection for the regional metro system, and generally engages in helpful assistance to the local museum community.

This function represents the staff and resources devoted to caring for those portions of the
Capitol Art collection under the Architect's jurisdiction, including conservation and maintenance
of the wall paintings and sculpture in the Capitol, decorative arts, historical architectural and
engineering drawings, and the like. In addition, this function provides archival care for the
invaluable art, construction and historical records for scholars' use. Finally, an educational

function is performed to respond to Member, media and public inquiries concerning room histories
and significant architectural, artistic or historic features of the Capitol complex.

The Architect of the Capitol, acting, by law, under the policy direction of the House Office Building Commission, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, the Joint Committee on the Library, and with direction from the Committees on Appropriations is responsible for the Capitol Complex, and under the policy direction of the Chief Justice of the United States and the Commission for the Judiciary Office Building, with direction from the Committees on Appropriations is responsible for the Supreme Court Building and Federal Judiciary Building, all of which have a conservatively estimated value of $3.8 billion. This does not include the value of the 286 acres of property comprising the Capitol Complex, which is estimated at $3.2 billion. In reality, however, these buildings and facilities are priceless when thought of as historic symbols of our democracy. A primary function of management is therefore to continue to improve the office's traditional role, and to responsibly augment our services as new roles develop.

The funds requested for fiscal year 1994, i.e., $215 million, represents less than six percent of the total conservatively estimated asset value, of the buildings and improvements of the Capitol Complex, the Supreme Court Building, and the Federal Judiciary Building, excluding the estimated value of the land. Of that $215 million, approximately $120 million represents the ongoing annual and cyclical maintenance cost for the Capitol Complex, the Supreme Court Building, and the Federal Judiciary Building, or three percent of total asset value.

The summary tables that accompany this brief introduction to the Function Budget outline the functions divided into organizational units, the staffing associated with the functions, the fiscal year 1993 appropriations for those functions, the requested budget for fiscal year 1994, the estimated value of non-appropriated funding for the functions, "units" where applicable to explain a number or type of activity, and finally the estimated replacement value of the function. This latter value is significant because it serves as a general bench mark against which replacement cost versus maintenance cost analyses may be made.
