Mar. 3-4, 1960. 82.72 164.19 ADDITIONAL POSITION FOR FLAG FLYING Mr. STEWART. The GS-4 clerk-typist is required for the office under the Architect responsible for flying American flags over the Capitol at the request of Members of the House and Senate, preparation of the necessary certificates, and keeping identification and other records. Because of the tremendous increase in the number of flags being requested to be flown each year over the U.S. Capitol, it is no longer possible for the one employee now assigned to this work to carry the load in this office. The need for the position can best be justified by citing the following statistics relating to flying the flags over the Capitol: For the entire period 1937 to 1954, 3,207 flags were flown. For calendar year 1956, 2,192 flags were flown. It is true that some of the increase in 1959 and 1960 was due to changing the flag as a result of Alaska and Hawaii being admitted to the Union as States, but even if the flags flown on July 4, 1959 (1,070) and July 4, 1960 (5,131) -the dates the 49-star and 50-star flags became official-are subtracted from the totals in those years, the number to be flown regularly continues to rise rapidly each year. During the first 3 months of the calendar year 1961, 3,500 flags have already been flown. We can foresee no reason to expect this trend to change. Mr. STEED. Will this new clerk devote his entire time to that? Mr. STEED. How do you do that? Is that a separate operation! Mr. STEWART. Yes. We were fortunate in having the Speaker give us a little space in the terrace which we made available for what we call the flag room. We have established a regular process for flying these flags. This involves receipt of the flags from the stationery room, properly identifying each flag by name and number, storing flags both before and after flying, actual flying of the flags over the Capitol, preparation of appropriate certificates for my signature, and releasing flags and certificates to Members' offices. The certificates are prepared in the flag office and cleared by my personal secretary for language and accuracy, because I try very religiously to make the certificates factual and dignified. It requires a great deal of work. Mr. STEED. This would, then, mean two people assigned to this? |
