Build shelves or racks to hold various types of paper to
provide a better flow of work and economy in motions.

The General Services Office has supplied the following
evaluation:
". . .suggestions are a reiteration and testimony to the need

The suggester proposes the removal of the piles of empty boxes
previously containing air-conditioning sets from the proximity of
"QII & "M" Buildings and prevent similar accumulations in the future
in.order.to reduce the hazards of fire and/or injury. He indicates
that the accumulation of crates near the rear entrance of nQ" Bldg.
have been there more than a week, thus creating a fire hazard since
it is composed of irregular piles of rough dry lumber.
C. Evaluation:
The Chief, General Services Offices has advised that "The above
condition has prevailed from time to time due to the current program
of air-conditioning installations in these buildings. Action is
being taken with General Services Administration to prevent a
reoccurence of these conditions." .

B. Summary of the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes that alterations to the loading area between
Wings 3 and 4 , L Building, to improve access of vehicles to the
loading platform as well as egress of personnel from the door of Wing 3
in order to ;provide for the safety of employees.
C. Evaluation:
The Chief, General Services Office has supplied the following
information relative to evaluation and adoption, in part, of the
suggestion.
"Inasmuch as the recommended changes would involve a considerable
expenditure, it is the opinion of this Office that such action is
not justified. In the interest of safety, however, steps have been
taken by the guard force to allow personnel to enter and exit through
the loading platform door, during periods when vehicles are blocking
the normal exit. Strategically placed signs in the wing corridors
provide ample: warning to personnel in emergency instances."
D. Note:
It is believed that the suggester merits consideration for an
award since the suggestion resulted in corrective action being taken
to bring about an improvement in safety measures. Therefore, it
is recommended that an award be considered by the Committee in
keeping With the Scale of Awards With Intangible Benefits.

B. Summary of the Sugestion:
The development of posters and instructional material for the
efficient operations of duplication equipment of the DD/P Offices.
The Office of General, Services has indicated that the placing of
posters, while being helpful, would not correct the real problems of
poor utilization of equipment, personnel and supplies. The Committee
has been more recently advised by the Office of General Services that
parts of this suggestion will be incorporated into the overall plan
for the operation of duplicating facilities in the DD/P Offices.
The Chief, of Administration, DD/P has stated that "posted instructions
certainly would assist, and, in conjunction with Suggestion No. 153
areWorthy of consideration.
D. Note:

aspects with the same general problem of duplicating facilities. It
is recommended that a token award to the suggester by considered by

B. Summary of the Suggestion
The suggester proposes that the area surrounding the outside entrances
to "I" to ttL" Buildings be cleaned of mud, dust, wet plaster board and
other sources of dirt that are tracked into the building. If this dirt
is eliminated, it will result in an improvement in the cleaniness of the
corridors and offices. Further the suggester noted that the door mats
furnished at the entrances are very often not used.
CE-ua ti?n=
The Chief? General. Services offices indicates the following:
"A recent inspection was made as a result of the above suggestion
and conditions in the area were noted as being very much improved, with
the exception of some muddy conditions existing at a few of the rear
entrance gates. Apparently, considerable building material scraps were
present in some of these areas during recent periods of building renovation.
This debris, however, has been removed and it is our intention to prevent
further such accumulations by ensuring that a thorough clean-up is
accomplished by the responsible party.
As a further measure, this Office has initiated a request to have
the roadway and the entrance approaches through the various gates
resurfaced with asphalt topping by the Public Buildings Services
approved, the present muddy condition will be alleviated materially.
Regarding the failure of personnel to utilize the cocoa mats
furnished, steps have been taken to provide signs at the required
entrances requesting their use."
D. Note
Since a beneficial action has resulted from the submission of the
suggestion, it is recommended that an award be considered by the Committee
with the amount to be determined in keeping with the Scale of Awards
for Suggestions With Intangible Benefits.

B.. Summary of. the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes that "Efforts be initiated with proper
authorities to secure cinder surfacing (or similar) of the part
running from (sate 4 (I Bldg.) to Independence Avenue. This t
25X1A is used daily by hundreds of personnel to and from Qts. I, 25X1A
M, etc. - and I & J Bldgs. In inclement weather it is impossible
leading to trampling down of new paths on either side; consequent
damage to Park area, and the creation of further eye sores." The
suggester indicates that monetary savings would be niile;, but would
save time of waiting for shuttle, or round about.travel plus con-
tributing considerably to morale of those unfortunates presently
using path.
C. Evaluation-
The Chief, General Servies Office has advised that an asphalt
surfacing was recently applied to the subject path and is considered
to be sufficiently raised and crowned to provide passage during
inclement weather.
D. Note:
It is recommended that an award to the suggester be considered
by the Committee for this suggestion resulting in a beneficial
action being taken.

B, SunnaEZ of the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes the periodic issuance of a Registry and
Message Center Directory. This directory would contain the up-to-date
room and building numbers where mail for various organizations is
received and dispatched. The suggester believes that such a directory
would save a great deal of time in the delivery of mail and it would also
be beneficial in the sorting of mail to the various organizations that
have it done in the mail room. By having the proper addressees on the
mail , this would assist the couriers in their deliveries.
Cs Euationval :
The Chief, General Services Office states that It is our opinion
that the suggestion has considerable merit in that it would expedite
the delivery of mail by courier to the various registries. Also, a
check made with several of the larger registries to determine what
effect the adoption of this suggestion would have on their internal
operations indicates that some saving of time would be realized in
the addressing of outgoing mail.

B. Summary, of _the Suestions
The suggester proposes that an additional cafeteria be made
available for employees in I,J,K, & L Buildings or as an alterna-
tive in providing another cafeteria suggests that the present
K Building cafeteria be enlarged, sound-proofed, and that plastic
dishes be provided to minimize the noise. The suggestor believes
that this suggestion will bring about an improvement in employee
morale as well as save time of employees away from their desks.
C. Evaluation:
In a memorandum dated 17 April 1953, the Chief, General Services
Offices advised that the suggestion is correct and to the point and
that they have been aware of the situation for the past year and
contemplate the following changes:
a. The use of plastic dishes has finally been approved and
will be placed in use as soon as the necessary amount of
equipment can be obtained.
b. Provided expenses are justified, it is planned to extend
the present north wall of the cafeteria approximately five
feet into the present wide corridor, thus providing an
additional twenty-five tables or one hundred additional
chairs.(provides the serving of an additional 400 persons
during the hours of 11:30 - 1:30)
Since the receipt of the above mentioned memorandum the Committee
has been advised that part of the suggestion contained in paragraph b
above has now been carried out. Mr. of the Office of Space,
Maintenance, & Facilities Division has stated that the receipt of this
suggestion, while not an original idea, prompted them into taking
action now rather than at some time in the future.
:
D. Note:
Since the above suggestion prompted the concerned office to
initiate action which will result in improvement of service to
employees and will result in a greater number of employees being
served in the K Building cafeteria within a shorter period of time
a nominal award is recommended based upon the Scale of Awards for
Suggestions With Intangible Benefits.

B. Summary of the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes that multiple use of manila envelopes be
effected in order to provide economy in the use of envelopes. If the
sender would write the address on the side of the envelopes (as in a
chain envelope) instead of in the middle, the envelope can be used
many times.
C. Evaluation:
The Logistics Office recommends a nominal award since the subject
suggestion has resulted in the initiation of action by that Office
designed to re-institute the use of messenger chain envelopes already
stocked and available through governmental supply sources. This item
formerly was used extensively within the Agency. The logistics office
further states that "Savings which may be realized through re-stocking
and issuing this item cannot be estimated because of a lack of knowledge
of the prevalance of the practice mentioned in subject suggestion.
Cost of manila envelopes pertinent to subject suggestion is as follows:
9J inch by 12 inch plain craft envelope, $7.80 per thousand
10 inch by 15 inch plain craft envelope, $10.10 per thousand
10 inch by 15 inch printed messenger craft envelope (standard
item), $11.83 per thousand 25X1A
In order to obtain information on the prevelance of addressing
envelopes through the center and by multiple use, the Secretary contacted
the Central Mail Room to obtain information. Mr.MMM Mail Room
Supervisor ran a full day's survey on 23 June 1953 which he considered
a typical days mail. The results were as follows:
Chain envelopes transmitted through mail room
59
Assorted manila envelopes
633
White envelopes of miscellaneous sizes
151
Mr.~ further states that many envelopes contain two items 25X1A
thus effecting considerably the report on the number of envelopes used.
D. Note:
Since this suggestion has resulted in the Logistics Office initiation
of action to effect savings in the use of manila envelopes, it is recom-
mended that the Committee consider the suggester for an award. In view
of the difficulty in estimating the savings, it is believed that the
Scale of Awards for Suggestions with Intangible Benefits would be most
appropriate in determining any award considered by the Committee.

B. Sumraary_of._the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes a revision of the voucher form to be used
at field stations. One station voucher be prepared to cover a one
month period. This voucher would include all purchases and/or services
for overhead. Receipts attached to this type of voucher would constitute
the subvouchers and would be numbered in chronological order.
C. Evaluation:
The Deputy Comptroller in evaluating this suggestion, states that:
"The principle of the suggestion is very good, however, it is
the opinion of this office that its practical application would require
some modification of its form and use. . . Application of the suggestion
to particular types of expenditures would appear to be practicable and
should result in some savings. The staff of this office is at the
present time in the process of preparing an appendix to the regu-
lations. . . In order that the form, as revised , may include a best
features and ideas of all proposals, a copy of the subject suggestion
is being retained for consideration in relation to the revised
t?egulations. . . Although we do not feel that the suggested form is
-acceptable for adoption in its present form, we believe that the idea
is of such merit as to warrant recognition in the form of at least
a nominal award..
D. Note:
In view of the above evaluation , by the Deputy Comptroller, it
is recommended that an award be made to the suggester, with the amount
to be determined in keeping with the Scale of Awards for Suggestion With
Intangible Benefits.

B. Summary of the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes that the Central Processing Branch of the
Personnel Office include the services of a Notary Public in order to
notarize documents of Agency travelers.
C. Evaluation:
The Research & Planning Staff, Personnel Office has submitted the
following comments:
"At the present time it is necessary to refer requests for
notary service to members of the Personnel Relations Branch, Personnel
Office. . . Inasmuch as Agency employees traveling or stationed abroad
have need, on occasion, to delagate power of attorney to facilitate
the cashing of checks and other legal matters during their absence from
ho'jb, it would no doubt be feasible to have a qualified member of the
Central Processing Branch designated as a Notary Public. A conference
with the Notary Public in the Personnel Relations Branch in eye bldg.
has confirmed the points brought out by the suggester, i.e., that
notarizint documents for CPB affects the time this individual can
devote to her duties within her own Branch, and conferences and inter-
views have made it difficult, at times, for her to provide immediate
notary service for the Central Processing Branch. The Chief, Central
Processing Branch has been apprised of the suggestion, is of the
opinion that it should be adopted, and has agreed to initiate whatever
action may be required to put the suggestion into effect. With respect
to savings, it is believed that an estimate in monetary terms is
impracticable. The staff member in Personnel Relations Branch is a
GS-11, the employee in the CPB who will assume the Notary Public duties
is a GS-7 " The Research & Planning Staff states that" There is litt;ele
doubt that adoption of the suggestion will result in an improvement in
CPB operations, both in terms of convenience to the traveler and time
required in processing."
D.Note:
Since it is difficult to estimate any monetary savings it is
recommended that the Committee consider an award for a suggestion
with intangible benefits.

B, Summary of the Suggestion:
The suggester proposes that signs be erected at the head of each
wing (wing-corridor junction) directing one to the proper rear exit.
Such signs might read: "SHUTTLE - GATE 15
.south exit"
He states that "I" to"L" are constructed in such a fashion that wings
extend north to southfrom one single corridor running east and west
parallel to the Reflecting Pool. Exits are clearly discernible on the
Pool side, but guarded exits to the shuttle stops and the parking area
at the rear (south) of these buildings are quite obscure. For one who
is even relatively familiar with these buildings, it is necessary
either to guess the proper wing or inquire of a passer-by which wing
will take him to a guarded rear exit. Further the suggester has
supplied a diagram of the suggestion.
C. Evaluation-:
The Chief? General Services has supplied the following evaluation:
"In our opinion, the suggestion has value in that it would
eliminate confusion and lost time on the part of building occupants
and visitors desirous of leaving by south exits for parking areas and
shuttle bus stops.
Accordingly, action has been initiated to have PBS furnish and
install the suggested signs at appropriate locations.
Although no estimate can be made of the direct monetary savings
to be realized, we believe that employee morale and efficiency would
be benefited."

D. Evaluation:
The Deputy Comptroller has supplied the following evaluation:
"Since the need for revision of the voucher form has been under
consideration for some time, the subject suggestion was submitted
at a most appropriate time. Our review indicates that, although
it is deficient and requires some minor alterations, basically it
is a good form and appears to meet the major objections to the pre-
sent form. Accordingly, we have retained a copy of the form, and
with minor adjustments, intend to initiate action to adopt it as an of-
ficial Agency form.
With respect to savings which may be reasonably expected to be
realized from adoption of the revised form, we believe that the
estimate of the suggestor may be accepted as a fair estimate."
The Chief, Finance Division was contacted by the Secretary
of the Committee relative to the eligibility of the suggestor and
was informed that was in a trainee position and the
development of such a form should not be considered as part of
her duties.
