Mr. EISENHOWER. Mr. Chairman, I have brought with me some. statistics which you may wish to insert in the record, concerning the various activities of the Department. Starting with 1935 and coming down to and including 1941, these statistics show the constant efforts of the Department to decentralize they show for each year how many were in Washington and how many in the field. I also have the data you asked about a moment ago covering Government-owned buildings and rented buildings in Washington; also information on space we occupy in the field. For example, in 1941, we occupied in the field 6,386,211 square feet of either Government-owned or rented space. In addition, we also occupied quite a bit of free, non-Federal space which does not show up in these figures. For example, some space is furnished by the land-grant colleges. Mr. ELLIOTT. Can you place in the record a break-down showing how much free space is furnished the Government? Mr. EISENHOWER. I have the amount exclusive of that figure. Mr. EISENHOWER. We have the amount of Government owned and rented space. Mr. ELLIOTT. And in addition to that could you also furnish the figures showing the amount of space furnished free. Mr. EISENHOWER. Rehabilitation agents are often provided with free space in the counties. Occasionally, various local officials are located in courthouses or other public, though of course non-Federal buildings. At the State level, the colleges sometimes provide free space. It is only the roughest sort of estimate, but I would say that about 3,000,000 square feet of space is provided free. The CHAIRMAN. I think the tables you have referred to it would be well to have in the record.
