production due to time required in processing the employees into the
Agency. For example, physical examinations required several hours per
person with a resultant loss of time in the plant. Photographing for
badges, security briefing, Building 13 process, etc., all caused some
production loss. However, most of this type of processing is now
completed and no further major interruptions are expected.
5. This Office is now surveying all positions in this plant to
determine those which require filling. Recruitment actions have been
initiated for replacements for those personnel returning to the
Government Printing Office. Determination is being made regarding
changing certain slots from journeyman to helper and apprentice slots.
In general, however, the personnel situation in this plant it good and
will be constantly studied to assure maximum utilization of all skills.
To date only 12 employees have indicated a desire to return to the
Government Printing Office while have transferred to the Agency.
Two employees are on extended sick leave and are to be retired. Eine
vacancies exist in this plant.
6. The plant continues to perform work for other agencies on a
reimbursable basis. For the period from 14 January to 31 January 1957,
such work produced amounted to $5,163.41. A tabulation was submitted
to the Office of the Comptroller showing the amount of such work produced
for each Agency with information required for requesting reimbursement.
7. This Office plans to prepare for the signature of the DCI a
letter to the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Printing giving a
final accounting of the transfer. This letter will be prepared after
the transfer of funds is completed and will be in accordance with the
Committee's request in the Chairman's letter of January 4, 1957, that
it be "kept advised concerning the steps involving the transfer, as well
as its final consummation." This letter will constitute a final report
on the transfer of the GPO-State Service Plant to the Agency. It is
suggested that no further hi-monthly reports be submitted and that
problems of an unusual nature which may arise in connection with the
operation of this plant be reported as they occur.
