There were about-250 persons employed in the Military Department. In 1957, the chief of the Military Department was Brig Gen WALUCHOWSKI, (fnu).

The Military Department of the Planning Commission did not concern itself with the determination of military needs, but only with procurement based on the Bill of the Council of Ministers concerning the Supply of the Armed Forces (Uchwala Rally Mnistrow 0- Dostawach dla Sil Zbrojnych). The only information about the deter- mination-of military requirements was that it was the function of some agency within the Rear Services (Sluzba glow) under the Ministry of National Defense (MON).' The Military Department of the Planning Commission received the determined needs of the military from MON in letter form (List Zapotrzebowania)9 and used it as`a basis for its demands before the. Planning Commission. After the Planning Commission had reviewed the military demands and the civilian requests and made its recommendations to the Council of Ministers; the Council of Ministers acted on these recommendations, making them law. The law or bill relating to the military was called the Bill of the Council of Ministers Concerning the Supply of the Armed Forces. Once this bill was passed,, it was the job of the Military Department of the Planning Commission to keep close account of the fulfillment of the terms of the billo from_1948 to 1950, there were only 40 to 50 persons in the Military Department of the Planning Commission. During this time it was called a department (Departament Wojskowy) and was headed by civilian engineer Fryderek TOPOLSKI. In 19519 this small depart- ment was replaced by the larger organization (Zespol Wojskowy),, headed by Brig Gen JAROSZEWICZ9 (fnu), who expanded the size to about 300 persons. After that time; however; there were several drives to out the number of personnel employed in government administrative work. By 19579 the number was reduced by one-sixth. the top secret laws referred to on page 5 of referenced report Uchwala Rady Ninistrow 0 Dostawach dla Sil Zbrojnych). the complete law was kept in only three places.- In the op ecre records library of the Military Department of the Planning Commission; in the Top Secret records library of the Office of the Council of Ministers? and in the Ministry of National.
