Agency Off! ce Hours,
The Acting Secretary recommended that the Agency approve closing of
the Agency offices between the hours of 12:00 and 1:00 P.M. because of
the limited number of telephone calls or visitors to the office at that
time and because of the reduced number of staff, making It difficult to
arrange lunch schedules. Discussion followed, in which several of the
Members expressed opposition to closing the offices. Mr. Barnard suggested
that this matter be deferred for a month and that the Acting Secretary
conduct a survey of all Inc~ing calls and visitors to the office during
the noon hour. The Acting Secretary stated that he would do so and
present the survey findings to the Members at a later meeting.
