trator until November 30, 1943; and the funds provided for administrative expenses to carry out this purpose were continued available for administrative expenses until June 30, 1944 (act of June 22, 1943, c. 138, 57 Stat. 161; act of July 12, 1943, c. 229, title I, 57 Stat. 537, 541; and act of December 23, 1943, c. 380, 57 Stat. 611, 617).

Positions in the Work Projects Administration were not covered into the classified civil service under the Ramspeck Act (act of November 26, 1940, c. 919, sec. 1, 54 Stat. 1211), since they were expressly excepted from the application of the provisions of section 1 of the statute.

The appointment papers of the administrative employees of the Work Projects Administration contain the following provision:

"This appointment is for emergency work for such period of time as your services may be required, but limited to a period not to extend beyond the expiration of the emergency appropriation from which your salary is paid.”

APPENDIX III

NATIONAL YOUTH ADMINISTRATION

The National Youth Administration was established within the Works Progress Administration pursuant to the provisions of Executive Order 7086, dated June 26, 1935, and the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, approved April 8, 1935 (c. 48, 49 Stat. 115). The program was enlarged by the provisions of Executive Order 7164, dated August 29, 1935. The principal purpose of the Administration was to provide employment and work training for unemployed youth and part-time employment for needy students.

The National Youth Administration was placed under the general supervision of the Administrator of the Works Progress Administration and under the immediate supervision of the Executive Director of the National Youth Administration, provided for in Executive Order 7086. The Executive Director was authorized by the order to appoint, without regard to the provisions of the civil service laws, such officers

and employees as may be necessary, and prescribe the duties and responsibilities and, without regard to the Classification Act of 1923, as amended, fix the compensation of any officers and employees so appointed.

The work of the Administration was carried on with funds allocated to the Administration by the President from appropriations made to him by the act of April 8, 1935, and the work was further carried on to June 30, 1938, under subsequent authorizations and appropriations, including the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1936 (approved June 22, 1936, c. 689, title II, 49 Stat. 1597, 1608) and the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1937 (approved June 29, 1937, c. 401, title I, 50 Stat. 352, 353). See Executive Order 7396, dated June 22, 1936 (1 F. R. 651) and Executive Order 7649, June 29, 1937 (2 F. R. 1136).

By Executive Order 8028, dated December 24, 1938 (3 F. R. 3161), the title of Executive Director of the National Youth Administration was changed to Administrator of the National Youth Administration.

The Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1938 (approved June 21, 1938, c. 554, sec. 1 (2), 52 Stat. 809, 810) appropriated funds to the Works Progress Administration for the use of the National Youth Administration. Section 4 of this statute extends the National Youth Administration until June 30, 1939.

Effective July 1, 1939, the Administration "and its functions and personnel (including its Administrator)” were transferred from the Works Progress Administration and were consolidated with certain other agencies and functions under a new agency termed the Federal Security Agency (Reorganization Plan No. 1, part 2, sec. 201, 53 Stat. 1423, 1424; act of June 7, 1939, c. 193, 53 Stat. 813). Subsection (d) of section 201 of the Plan provides that the agencies and functions consolidated by section 201 into the Federal Security Agency shall carry with them their personnel. Section 206 of the Plan provides that the National Youth Administration and its functions shall be administered by the National Youth Administrator under the direction and supervision of the Federal Security Administrator.

The National Youth Administration was extended by the

following statutes: until June 30, 1940, by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1939 (approved June 30, 1939, c. 252, sec. 2 (d), 53 Stat. 927, 929; to and including June 30, 1941, by the Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1941 (approved June 26, 1940, c. 428, title II, par. 1, 54 Stat. 574, 590); to and including June 30, 1942, by the LaborFederal Security Appropriation Act, 1942 (approved July 1, 1941, c. 269, title II, par. 1, 55 Stat. 466, 487); and to and including June 30, 1943, by the Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1943 (approved July 2, 1942, c. 475, title II, par. 1, 56 Stat. 562, 571).

The act of June 26, 1940, supra (title II, par. 15, 54 Stat. 592) authorizes the National Youth Administrator, subject to the approval of the Federal Security Administrator, to appoint and compensate officers and employees without regard to the civil service laws or the Classification Act of 1923, as amended. This provision was reenacted in the act of July 1, 1941 (title II, par. 16, 55 Stat. 490) and in the act of July 2, 1942 (title II, par. 15, 56 Stat. 573).

Paragraph 15 of title II of the Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1942, supra, prohibits any part of the appropriations to the National Youth Administration to carry on its functions and any part of the appropriations for salaries and other administrative expenses to be used to pay the compensation of any civil service employee, except persons so appointed who are already employed by another agency of the Government and are assigned or detailed to the National Youth Administration. A similar provision is contained in paragraph 14 of title II of the Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1943, supra.

Positions in the National Youth Administration were not covered into the classified civil service under the Ramspeck Act (approved November 26, 1940, 54 Stat. 1211).

Effective September 17, 1942, the National Youth Administration and its functions, duties and powers were transferred from the Federal Security Agency to the War Manpower Commission in the Office for Emergency Management of the Executive Office of the President, to be administered under the supervision and direction of the Chairman of the Commission (Executive Order 9247, September 17, 1942, 7

F. R. 7379). Paragraph 2 of the order transfers to the Chairman of the War Manpower Commission all functions, duties and powers of the Federal Security Administrator relating to the administration of the National Youth Administration or its functions. Paragraph 3 of the order transfers to the War Manpower Commission for use in the administration of the National Youth Administration and its functions, duties and powers all personnel used primarily in the administration of the National Youth Administration and its functions, duties and powers, including officers whose chief duties relate to such administration.

The next annual appropriation act made available an amount from the unexpended balances of certain prior National Youth Administration appropriations for all expenses necessary to enable the National Youth Administrator to provide for the liquidation of the National Youth Administration and the conservation and disposition of property in use by the Administration. The statute provides that "said liquidation shall be completed as quickly as possible, but in any event not later than January 1, 1944" (Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1944, approved July 12, 1943, c. 221, title VII, 57 Stat. 494, 517-518. See also act of July 12, 1943, c. 229, title I, 57 Stat. 537, 539).

Liquidation of the Administration was not entirely completed by January 1, 1944. The duty of completing the liquidation was transferred to the Office of the Federal Security Administrator (First Supplemental National Defense Appropriation Act, 1944, approved December 23, 1943, c. 380, title I, 57 Stat. 611, 615). This statute made available to the Federal Security Administrator until June 30, 1944, an amount from the unexpended balances of certain prior National Youth Administration appropriations to enable the Federal Security Administrator to complete the liquidation of the National Youth Administration. (See H. Rept. 822, 78th Cong., 1st sess., pp. 23-24; S. Rept. 570, id., p. 3; and H. Rept. 959, id., amendment No. 17, pp. 1 and 4.)

Thereafter, not to exceed the sum of $78,000 of the unexpended balances of certain prior National Youth Administration appropriations was continued available to the Office of the Federal Security Administrator until June 30, 1945,

for all expenses necessary to enable the Federal Security Administrator to liquidate the affairs of the National Youth Administration (Labor-Federal Security Appropriation Act, 1945, Public Law 373, 78th Cong., 2d sess., approved June 28, 1944, c. 302, title II, 58 Stat. 547. See S. Rept. 965, 78th Cong., 2d sess.; 90 Cong. Rec., pp. 5952, 6485).

APPENDIX IV

CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS

The Civilian Conservation Corps was organized pursuant to the provisions of the act of March 31, 1933 (c. 17, 48 Stat. 22) and Executive Order 6101, dated April 5, 1933. The Executive order provides for a Director of Emergency Conservation Work and an advisory council to the Director, to consist of representatives appointed by the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Labor. As the program developed, the purpose of the Civilian Conservation Corps was to provide employment, as well as vocational training, for youthful citizens of the United States who were unemployed and in need of employment and, to a limited extent for war veterans and Indians, through the performance of useful public works in connection with the conservation and development of the natural resources of the United States, its territories, and its insular possessions.

By a later Executive order the Director of Emergency Conservation Work was given full authority over the operations of the Emergency Conservation Work (Executive Order 6200, July 11, 1933).

From the beginning of the Emergency Conservation Work it was the general policy to use already existing governmental agencies for every function that they were already prepared to perform. The principal agencies that cooperated actively in carrying out the work were the War Department, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor and the Veterans' Administration. (See Executive Order 7677A, July 26, 1937, 2 F. R. 1346; Executive Order 7717, September 29, 1937, 2 F. R. 2087;
