Catalog" and "Monthly List of Russian Accessions"
1. The subject project submitted by the Office of Collection
and Dissemination proposes continued support to the Library of
Congress during fiscal year 1954 and will require new funds in the
amount of A178,3)44 over the amount of 15117,615 budgetted, or a
total of 8295,959 for the fiscal year.
2. The estimate submitted by the Library of Congress is
broken down as follows:
a. Development of biographic and institutional
information cards . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. Within the total 1954 requirement the sum of 1257,800
represents personal services costs of 60 employees, (1 Wage Board
and 59 GS-2 through GS-13). The balance of $38,159 is broken down
as follows: 10% overhead costs ("26,904), travel, repairs, supplies
and equipment ($11,255).
4. It should be noted, however, that appropriations for the
fiscal year 1954 have not been approved and it is not known whether
funds requested will actually be made available to this Agency, and
further as our 1954 budget provides only the sum of $117,615 for
work to be performed by the Library of Congress, it will be necessary
if budget is approved to obtain from the Bureau of the Budget a
release of A178,344 from the Reserve for Contingencies. Prior
release of A136,000 in fiscal year 1952 and 1314,698 in fiscal 1953
