The Chairman of our Commission, Dr. Frederick Burkhardt on my left; Executive Director, Mr. Alphonse F. Trezza on my right, and Mr. Jerry Manolatas, who has been helpful in planning previous White House Conferences, and Mrs. Mary Alice Hedge Reszetar our Associate Director. They are all here hopefully to answer any questions which the committee has. Mr. FLOOD. You understand, it's been made very clear to you now, for obvious reasons, we are covering the supplemental and the 1978 request. And I see you have a prepared statement. How are you going to handle that? Mrs. MOORE. I will read a brief statement. Mr. FLOOD. You are going to submit it for the record? Mrs. MOORE. Submit it for the record, yes. Mr. FLOOD. Won't you have two statements? OPENING STATEMENT Mrs. MOORE. Yes; I will submit them both and make a correction in one of them before I submit it.

We are here today to testify on two budgets: The regular appropriation for support of the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, and the budget request for the White House Conference on Library and Information Services, and the preceding State conferences, which the National Commission will conduct with the aid of an advisory committee. We have submitted budget justifications for each of the requests. In the interest of saving time, I will not read the testimony I have prepared for the National Commission's regular budget but will summarize the highlights. With the chairman's permission, may we ask that the complete testimony be inserted in the official hearing record. This year, the Commission's request is for $563,000, a $55,000 increase over fiscal year 1977. The increase includes funds for one additional secretarial position and funds to cover normal cost-of-living increases in salaries and in such items as telephones, postage, maintenance, etc. This committee, last year, approved our request for two additional secretaries. You will recall that in the House-Senate Conference Committee, based on recommendation of the Senate, there was a compromise, and we were allowed only one secretarial position. We |
