BINGHAMTON, May 21—
Unanimous approval of the pro-
posal to amend the constitution
of the Association of State Civil
Service Employees to admit to
membership county and munict-
pal employees of New York State
(exclusive of the five boroughs of
NYC) was given by the Central
New York Conference of State
Association Chapters, convened at
the Elk's Club.

An extensive analysis of this
subject was made by Laurence J,
Hollister, Field Representative of
the State Association, who point-
ed to the greater strength of As-
sociation activities which would
result from the combined efforts
of county and municipal empley-
ees with State employees.

Also under discussion was the
Halpern-Rapp minimum retire-
ment allowance bill. The Confer-
ence placed itself on record as
favoring this plan, that extra time

The State
Employee

By Frank L. Tolman
President, The Asyociation of
State Civil Service Employees

State Needs Morale Builders

WE DO NOT know nearly enough about morale. We talk about
it @ good deal but we do not know exactly what it 1s, how it Js
engendered and developed and what its true value ts, Like salt, we
recognize it chiefly when it is lacking, where operations slow down |

badly or break down completely and the taste of the office in flat|
or oVer-spicy.

Roughly speaking, morale is the spirit of the service or office, |
It represents the contributions of the driving forces of faith, belief,
confidence, emotion, fellow feeling, ete.. to the collective life of an
enterprise or office. Morale is more potent than rules or organiza-
tion charts or penalties or efficiency experts in getting things done.
This does not mean that rules, etc., are not needed, It means that |
morale 15 @ first and fundamental need, a Tull partner in the firm. |

The Army marches on its stomach or its feet, but it wins vic- |
tories on its morale, Army officers recognize the full importance of |
morale, and make adequate provisions to cultivate and cherish it.
Business and government alike might profit from the experience of
the ‘morale officers in building esprit de corps

USE OF UNDERSTANDING NEEDED

Morale is the quality or life of a group held together by social
forces. The group is merely an aggregation if morale is wanting, if

there is no unity, ho spirit of one for all and all for each one, If|
morale binds the individuals of the group together, the group obtains
the strength of the pack, the unity of the team, the spirit of the |
service,

We use the expert knowledge of the psychologist and of tie
psychiatrist in the administration of institutions dealing with the |
mental and moral misfits of our time. Why not use the same kind
of understanding and knowledge in dealing with normal people in
their business relationships and associations? |

A new relationship between management and employee is in |
Process of development. Employees are no longer a minor or inert
factor in the total efficiency of the plant or office, They offer the
major opportunity for improvement of methods and procedures, If
neglected, the employee can offer the greatest resistance to change
and progress. The more the employee shares in good human rela-

tionship, the more he becomes in a real sense a partner rather than
merely a wage-earner, and to the degree morale ix cultivated, the |
enterprise succeeds |

WHAT IT TAKES

War developed some great industrial leaders like Henry Kaiser.
How was he able to multiply his successes in many essential indus-
tries? Not so much perhaps because of his technical knowledge as
because he was above all a great morale builder with human under- |
standing and fellow feeling beyond any of his peers in the industrial
field.

The State service needs morale builders in the Civil Service
especially in the strategic Civil Service Commission, but also in every
department and in every bureau of government.

‘The Association of State Civil Service Employees needs equally
morale builders in ev: chapter and in every department,

Kings Park Workers Ask
More Pay or Job Rotation

By M. J. CORLEY

jorresponding Seeretary, Kings

Park Chapter, Association of State
Civil Service Employees

When the bonus bill granting |
additional compensation to all|
employees assigned to hazardous)
wards in the State mental Institu-
tions was signed by Governor
Dewey and the necessary funds
appropriated over & year ago, it
was, of course, intended to apply
to all those workers whose duties
were considered excessive or dan-
gerous through accident or disease,
But so far the employees of the
tubercular service are the only
ones to benefit by the 10 per cent
increase; while we of the disturbed
and other difficult services are still
outside the law and naturally
wonder why.

Granted, the tuberculur service,
with its coughing dormitories and
morgue-like atmosphere where you
toil in hourly dread of the teem-|
ing microbes, where hundreds of |
wasted bodies await the final hour,
and where death's awful majesty
casts its grim shadow perhaps
dozen times in the course of the
working day, is surely no ideal
place in which to earn a livell-
hood. New employees are always
fearful of being assigned to this
service, and those already there
are none too happy with their lot

wracking than an assignment
amongst the active suicidals where
you are ever and always on the
jump.

But of all the Services in the
State hospitals, the acute or re-
ception group is by far the most
dangerous and nerve-wracking of
all, In this service are handled—
sometimes for long periods—any
and every case admitted to the
Institution, and they include
every known type of insanity and
every other human malady known
to the medical profession. The
roaring, nerve-wracking maniac,
the highly dangerous homicidal,
| the unpredictable catatonic, the
chattering paranoid, the brooding
suicidal, the eternal runaway, the
bedridden with their many con-
tagious forms of disease and, of
course, the active tuberculosis
cases—all are here in the early
and therefore the worst stage of
thelr awful maladies.

Bonus on Rotation

The great trouble with the
State hospital employee is the fact
that, despite our many protests,
those who determine our salaries
know little or nothing about our
duties. Few of them have ever
been within the walls of a mental
institution, and yet they decide
the compensation for the services
rendered. Never, even to this day,

Vet Preference Applies
To Reinstatement, Too,
Goldstein Advises Board

speeias to ur LEADEN

Attorney-General Nathanel 1. |

Goldstein, in an opinion rendered
to the Department of Civil Serv-

ice, has ruled that veteran pref-|
erence in the civil service applies |

to the right to preference in re-| wh, tl
instatement from preferred lists | Whose Positions were eliminated

established pursuant to Section
31 of the Civil Service Law,
The right to preference in re~
instatement, is not specifically
provided by statute, the Attorney-
General said, holding that such a

preference is a necessary part of |

any plan recognizing a right of
fetention In the civil service.

The Right of Preference
Preference in retention is not

effectually accorded a veteran by |

merely retaining him longest in
service when suspensions become
necessary, Mr Goldstein stated.

“The right to be first rein-
stated Is a sequel to the right to
be longest retained when the

number of positions ts curtailed,” |

he wrote, “Together, these rights
constitute the preference in reten-
tion.”

Accordingly, the opinion held
that it follows that the seniority
preferences granted by Section 31
must now be modified by the con-
stitutional preferences In reten-
tion given to veterans, and that
disabled veterans and non-dis-
abled veterans must be preferred
in that order for reinstatement
from preferred lists established
under Section 31.

Period of Benefit

The right to preference in re-
instatement does not apply to pre-
ferred lists in existence on Janu-
ary 1, 1946, the date on which
the constitutional amendment be-
came effective, the Attorney Gen-
eral declared. He referred to a
prior opinion holding thet the
preference in appointment and
promotion applied to eligible lists
no matter when established, and
went on to say that “the right to
preference in retention cannot
arise unless there has been em-
ployment subsequent to the ef-
fective date of the amendment.
+» . Since the Constitution did

not require ratention of veterans,
over non-veterans senior in serv-
jlee, prior to January 1, 194, the
right of veterans to preference
in remstatement from preferred

| Limitation Emphasized

Mr. Goldstein summarized his
holding to mean that where posi-
tions are abolished or eliminated
after January 1, 1946, veterans
are not only entitled to be the
last to be suspended, but are also
to be the first to be reinstated
from the preferred lists upon
which their names are entered,
with the limitation, however, that
this preference docs not apply as
against those whose names were
placed on such lists because of
suspension from employment in
the civil service prior to January
1, 1946.

WHAT EVERY STATE EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

Policy and Law Covering Veterans’ Time Off to Attend
Conventions and to Observe Memorial Day

By THEODORE BECKER

THE ATTENTION of all State
department heads has been called
to the fact that Governor Dewey
desires @ continuation of the
policy, expressed in 1943, of al-
lowing State employee veterans
time off to attend conventions of

thelr military and naval organiza-
tions,

In a memorandum recently is-
sued by Judge J. Edward Con-
way, President of the State Civil
Service Commission, the declara~
tion of the Governor's policy on
this subject, as contained in his

June 9, 1943, memorandum, is
quoted as follows:
“Many State employees are

members of recognized military
and naval veterans’ organizations.
These organizations from time to
time hold State and National Con-
ventions and some of our State
employees desire to meet with
their comrades at these conven-
tions

Vacation and Time Off Protected

“Heads of State departments
should give such employees who
actually desire to attend these
conventions and who may be es+
caping th eservice of their de-
cused from duty without handi-
partment, permission to do 50.
Where such permission ts granted,
absences to attend veterans’ con-
ventions are not to be charged
against vacation time, nor levied
against war velerans employed by
the State.”

The granting of time off to
tend veterans’ conventions calls
attention to the provisions of a
1946 law—Chapter 481—which
grants public employee veterans
of World War U1 the same rights
and privileges with respect to
taking off Memorial Day and
Armistice Day enjoyed by veter-
ans of World War 1

Under the new provisions of

Section 63 of the Public Officers
Law, as amended by the new Stat-
ute, it is the duty of the head of
every State department or agency
to give a leave of absence with
pay for 24 hours on May 30, or
such other day as may be ob-
served as Memorial Day, and on
November 11, known as Armistice
Day, to every person in the sery-
jee of the State who was honor-
ably discharged after service |
either (1) in the regular or vol-
unteer Army or Navy or the Ma-
rine Corps of the United States
during the Spanish-American
War or during the Philippine In-|
surrection, or (2) in the Army or
Navy or Marine Corps of the
United States during World War
Tor World War U1, or (3) in the
Army or Navy of a foreign coun-
try allied with the United States
during World War 1 or World
War TI, or () In the regular
Army or Navy or Marine Corps
of the United States at any time.

The law insures against loss of |
pay by the veterans covered by
providing that all such veterans
who are compensated on a per
diem, hourly, semi-monthly or
monthly basis, with or without

ary allowable number of working
a shall be made in lieu there-
o

Tt is also provided that a re-
fusal to grant the leave of ab-
sence to an employee entitled
thereto shall be a neglect of duty.
Regular Per Annum Employees
Regular per annum employees
will, of course, continue to be
paid for Memorial Day and Ar-
mistice Day, as in the past, even
though they are granted time off
on these days. This point was
made in a memorandum issued
by the State Civil Service Com-
mission with respect to leaves on
Armistice Day under the old pro-
visions of Section 63 of the Public
Officers Law. Such memorandum
indicated that the special refer-
ence to the rights of per diem
employees under the law is not
intended to affect or change ex-
isting departmental practice with
relation to the granting of legal
holiday privileges to employees
on Armistice Day, The same
would appear to apply to Memo-~
rial Day.

They are paid at lower rates

Pay Discrimination Charged

Here is how the Association
puts it

“If a per diem employee works
260 days a year, be get approxi-
mately the same annual campen-
sation as a per annum employee
holding the same title, but the
per diem employee must work 260
Gays in order to get the same
compensation that is paid a per
annum employee for 230 to 247
days of employment. This means
‘that per diem employees receive
from 66 cents to $1.09 leas for
each day of employment than
per annum employees, and this
amounts to an annual salary dis-
crimination of as much as $400
per annum.”

The letter said bluntly that the
effects of the war emergency
conrpensation have been nullified
by departmental rulings.

The Association holds that the
only fair way to end the serious
discrimination is to abolish the
per diem system and to pay these
employees an @ per annum basis,

At presstime, Mr. Maltbie had
not indicated his response to the
letter. But the Association said

that it would follow through on
its recommendations, which it
feels to be the only legal and fair
way to deal with the s uation

State Policy Unsound
On Vet Vacations

HE LEGISLATURE wisely sought to give veterans in

the civil service every advantage or privilege they
would ordinarily have acquired except for their absence
in military service. They have been properly given the
right to salary increments accorded to those who were
able to remain in the civil service; promotion rights were
reserved and their pensions protected. "

}t is difficult to understand, therefore, the attitude
of the State Civil Service Department in advising the State
officials that returning veterans are not to be granted
vacation leave unless they have served the full time in
their civil service positions as required of all other civil
service employees. The Commission seems to rely on an
opinion of the Attorney-General which the Commission
construes as precluding department heads from granting
full annual vacation leave to veterans.

As we understand the opinion of the Attorney-Gen-
eral, his ruling only precluded accrued vacation periods
accumulated during the war period; that is, a veteran
could not accumulate all the vacation leave time during
his absence in military service and seek to have an ex-
tended vacation period now. Surely the Attorney-General
did not intend that veterans should be penalized and de-
prived of vacation leave this summer because of their
absence in military service part of the time. Se

We agree with the views expressed by H, Eliot
Kaplan, Executive Secretary of the Civil Service Reform
Association, that the State could afford a more generous
policy toward vacations for veterans than the rigid, tech-
nical interpretation made by the State Civil Service De-
partment of the Attorney-General’s opinion. _

To the credit of the O’Dwyer administration, veter-
ans in the NYC service, similarly situated, are to be ac-
corded regular summer vacations on the sound premise
that their service in time of war is essentially government
service and that they should not be deprived of vacation
privileges accorded to other civil service employees.

The State administration should revise its policy as a
matter of plain justice, to give veterans in the civil service
vacation opportunities they deserve.

Unions Vex Board Members

The Board of Estimate at an
executive session considered is-
suing a statement about extrava-
gant claims made by some NYC
employee unions for getting the
pay increases and other adyan-
tages granted by revision of the
City Budget, although these
changes were made mostly at the

reomal suggestion of Mayor

"Dwyer, in which his fellow
Board members fully concurred,

Three weeks sgo this column
reporled the opinion of Budget

Director Thonyas J. Patterson that
some organizations should tone
down their claims to a more nearly
factual level. He made these re-
marks after reading a publicity
release of the State, County and
Municipal Workers of America,
CIO. Other unions and employee
groups had-also claimed credit
for the budget changes,

The Board members don’t mind
employee unions increasing their
membership by issuing enthusi-
astic appeals, and make allow-
ances for a bit of extravagance in
claims, but they do feel that the
limit has been exceeded. (This is
what you might call official!)
They do think that the Board
should get some credit when it

ives the municipal employees &

weak,

The Board decided to let it ride
this time, but will issue a state-
ment if any such flamboyant
claims are made in the future.

Retires Above Full Puy

A rare case in which a NYC
employee's retirement pay is more
than his salary will come before
the Board of Estimate this Thurs-
day. Patrick J. McBride, a Court
Attendant in the City Magistrate's
Court, is retiring from the service
after 46 years, at the age of 72.
His average salary for the best 5
years was $2,368.55, and his
annual retirement will come to
$2,464.52, in addition to insur
ance of $3,000, The high allo’
ance is the result of Mr. Mo-
of approxi-
pay to the

pension’ fund,

JOSEPH J. SCANLON
ONE OF THE FIRST men in
the Fire Department whom the
new probationary Fireman meets
is Acting Deputy Chief Joseph J.
Scanlon of Fire Headquarters, He
is in charge of the office of the

Chief of Department. Chief Scan-
lon stipervises the activities of the
30 uniformed men at the Depart-
ment’s executive offices.

When new men are appointed,
they meet Chief Scanlon, Prior to
filling their first assignment they
get friendly tips from Fire Com-
missioner Frank J. Quayle, to get
them started off on a firefighting
career.

Chief Scanion has been favor-
ably impressed with the calibre of
men—all veterans—added to the
Department in recent months.

A Desperate Task

Only a few days after his
transfer to Fire Headquarters last
February, Chief Scanion went out
to answer a Sth alarm and had
one of the busiest days of his flre-
fighting career.

The blaze was at a big brewery
building in The Bronx, While
three companies of Firemen were
on the fifth floor, the floor col-
lapsed, at the same time breaking
ammonia pipes and filling the
building with deadly vapors, Chief

canion took command of the
situation and had the twenty
trapped men removed by an aerial
ladder, One Fireman couldn't be
reached until three hours later,
but he’s now recovering from his
injuries.

A 20-year man in the Depart-
ment, Chief Scanlon was ap-
pointed on November 27, 1925,
and assigned to Engine 230 in
Brooklyn, In December ‘34 he
was made a Lieutenant and on
January 1, 1938 promoted to Cap-
tain of Hook and Ladder 146,
Brooklyn.

World War I Veteran

In March, 1938 he was trans-
ferred to the busy downtown
Manhattan H&L 20 and on Sep-
tember 1, 1939 reached the rank
of Battalion Chief and was as-
signed to the 3rd Battalion in the
same division where he had served
as Captain.

He was assigned to his head-
quarters post on February 4 last

His only outside activities are
bowling and membership in the
Uniformed Fire Officers Associa-
tion, which he joined early in its
existence. He lives in Flatbush
with his wife and two daughters,
one 8, the other 13.

A Marine in World War I, he
maintains membership in the
F.D. Legion post and his wife Is
active in the auxiliary.

What It Takes

To Rise from Lowest to Highest
Position in a NYC Dept.

By William J. Powell
Commissioner of Sanitation, NYC

I AM the second member of the uniformed force to
be Commissioner of the Department of Sanitation. The
other member of the uniformed force similarly honored
was the late Alfred A. Taylor.

I have found through my
years of service in the De-
partment that there is no
royal road to success, The
way is hard and steep and
many obstacles lie along the
path tempting one to follow
some detour sign that prom-
ises greater ease. Keep
straight on and up, for hope
and courage and ambition
will help you to gain the top
of the hill of progress and
wil crown your efforts with
success,

Anxiety Remembered

I remember only too well
the anxiety caused me in
Preparing for the various |
examinations I was required
to take in order to elevate ©
sap in g “e ‘ respective
grades, an urther re-
member that after the re- Neder lads ha
sults of the examinations were published the desire within
me to be appointed. a

_ In this respect I want to give the assurance that T
will exert every effort at my command to prevail upon
the Budget Director to approve appointments in the
respective ranks-as vacancies occur,

What the future holds for the men in the Department
to be selected as career men depends entirely upon the
success IT meet with while in office. To attain that end &
need the undivided cooperation of every man in the
Department. It is my desire to administer the functions
of the Department as its head in a manner that will not
alone redound to my credit but will also serve to prove
the capabilities of the men in the uniformed force to ad-
minister the duties of the Department in an efficient and
intelligent manner, so that those who follow me can and
will receive similar recognition.

Information obtained by The LEADER from the files of the
Municipal Civil Service Commission show that Commissioner Powell
has the distinction of rising from the lowest rank in the Department
to the highest,

He started on November 11, 1906 as an Extra Driver and was
transferred to Stableman on June 1, 1910. The Commission's records
do not disclose what the pay was for these two positions, On
March 1, 1911, he becamé a Foreman, 2nd Grade, at $900 a year.
On the first day of 1913, he was promoted to Section Foreman at
$1,200 and by July 19, 1919 he had become a District Superintendent
at $1,920. By December, 1934, he was earning $4,500,

On August 27, 1936 he was appointed to the exempt position
of Deputy Commissioner at $6,000. In December, 1938, his position
was placed in. the competitive class, title Assistant to the Commis-
sioner, no salary change,

On June 1, 1945, he received an increase to $6,850 and when
Mayor O'Dwyer took office he appointed him Commissioner at
$10,000 a year.

‘The Commissioner lives at 73-28 193rd Street, Flushing.

Pensions Unstable

If They're Taxed

By H. Eliot Kaplan
Executive Secretary, National Civil Service League

THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX on pensions Is short-sighted and
socially and economically indefensible. It works both a hardship and
an injustice to public servants retired after long, faithful service.
A pensioner’s allowance ought not to be subjected to the instability
and uncertainty of changing tax schedules, for he is no longer in a
Position to compete for higher income.

Such taxation compels an employee who planned to retire on «
fixed allowance to work years longer than he had counted on, in
order to increase the allowance sufficiently to defray the cost of
the tax, and maintain the originally intended pension income. Other-
wise It reduced an income which already has been at least halved
and still further reduces the pensioner’s standard of living
i gers gue PARC 0 opportunities for those desiring
0 enter ic service, and also restricts promotion opportuniti
of incumbents. bs a ms

%, It imposes a tax which the State would probably not impose,
The State taxes Federal pensions presumably only in retaliation for

the Federal taxation of pensions of pensioners of the State and ita
civil divisions,

4. The tax is on Incomes that are unproductive,
5. The tax discriminates against public employees, because the
Social Security pensions and Railroad Retirement Law pensions are
exempt from taxation, up to the pension ceilings of $1,020 and
$1,440 respectively, Hence, nearly 60,000,000 prospective pensioners
would have tax-free pensions, while the 6,000,000 public employees
would pay, and many thousands do pay, Federal tax on their
pensions.
Pensions and annuities should be tax-free. There should be no
drain upon intended fixed pension income, neither upon any pay
ments the pensioners made on behalf of themselves or their desig~
nees, Hor upon any part of the pension income for which the em-
ployer paid. As a minimum present attainment the first $1,440 of
public pensions should be exempt from tax in recognition of the
same principle for the benefit of public employees, who constitute 10

per cent, as is recognized for the other 90 per cent beneficiaries
under Social Security and Railroad Retirement pensions,

Pension Hardship
Editor, The LEADER:

As a retired NYC employee I
am heartily in favor of your policy
to aid pensioners in the reduction

of thelr income tax payments.
Out of a pension of $92.48 a
month I have to pay Federal
taxes.

Just to show what a pensioner
has to do to get money enough
to live on and pay the tax: On
Thanksgiving Day I put in 16
hours shoveling snow from 4 p.m
to midnight. The next day, I
worked from midnight till 8 a.m,
on the Willis Ave, Bridge,

‘Then I slipped on the rails in
the roadway and broke my right
ankle and foot, Today I am a
crippled man of 76 and my pen-
sion stays the same.

Congressman Keogh knows that
with everything so high, a retired
person can't live on $500 a year,
During the past five years my
tax has been about $100 a year.

After 30 years of service on the
City's bridges, I find that I can't

among the first to enter cham-
pionship competition back in 1941

habit which has been going on

proud of their range record of
safety, not a single accident, or
near accident in five years of
constant shooting, both in prac-
tice and in tournaments. All the
members are well versed in shoot-
ing safety and have been com-
mended for their range conduct
and sportsmanship many times.

All who entered the armed

body is grateful,

Veteran's Pension Cost
Editor, The LEADER:

I have just returned to my job
as an employee of New York State
after a military leave of three and
one-half yeara

I am now faced with the choice
of paying the Retirement System
$380.77, or working three and one-
half years past the age at which
T would have been able to retire.

During the war period, the
State acquired a surplus of $500,-

Several bills were presented to
the Legislature during the session
that just adjourned, to provide
that the State should make the
annuity contribution for the pe-
riod of military leave, instead of
the returning service man or wor

man,

These bills did not pass.

‘The members of the Senate ang
the Assembly will learn that
veterans have not been depriv

of our right to vole.-F, H. Q.

Jobs of the Week |

Most of the jobs we heard about

Preparing a Resume

Lester C. Lyons, consultant at)
the American Management As~-
sociation, tells us that too many
vets are aiming at personnel work.

“Interviewing and classification
experience in the armed forces
-doesn't necessarily make qualified
personnel workers,” he said.” In~
dustry wants personnel men with
industrial experience in job anal-
ysis and evaluation, time-motion
study, merit rating and wage-
incentive systems.

“Many vets don't know how to
Prepare a summary of their back~
ground, The resume should be
succinct, pointing up achieve-
ments and experience, readable,
and it should be typed double-
spaced. The best resumes do not
run longer than two pages.”

If your supervisor is approach-
able it may be good strategy to
discuss promotional opportunities
with him. If he is aloof and un-
friendly, it may be best to discuss
your problem with the Personnel
Director of your firm. The Per-
sonnel Director will be interested
in placing you ir the kind of job
from which the firm will get the
greatest benefit. Before you visit
him prepare a statement summar-
izing your skills, training and
anything else which you believe
qualifies you for a better job. He
is interested in concrete proof of
your abilities and not merely your
complaints, Tell him specifically
the kind of tb you want and why
you believe the firm will profit
frbm your transfer. If you really
do not have «nything special to
offer, you will be skating on pretty
thin ice. So, weigh all the factors
carefully before deciding on any
plan of action.

Acting on the suggestion of
Mayor O'Dwyer, the larger NYC
departments have started train-
ing programs to help prepare the
1,700 NYC employee veterans who
ave filed applications to take
special military examinations for
promotion. °

Promotion tests to Clerk, Grade
3 and 4 will be held this Satur-

| day, and other tests later, spread

over many months.

These special military tests are
given by the Municipal Civil Serv-
ice Commission because the em-

missed the regular promotion

| tests.

Public Works

In the Department of Public
Works, a novel training program
was evolved after consultation
with employees. A series of
home-study booklets was prepared
from material of previous in-serv-
le training courses given in the
Department, Thirty sets were dis-
tributed to the veterans. On
Thursday of this week a round-
table discussion question-answer
session will be held at which de-
partment officials will describe
the functions of the various divi-
sions of the Department.
