..  Dear Senator Proxmire:

         This is in response to your request of January 18, 1972,
    for a report on a script sent to you by station WLUK-TV,
    Green Bay, Wisconsin. The script related to the employment
    of a janitor and of civilian mechanics at the Green Bay Na-
    tional Guard Armory. It said that seven full-time mechan-
 / ics (civilian technicians) were employed to maintain a fleet
    of 142 military vehicles which were used only once a month.
    The need' for these mechanics was questioned.

         We met with representatives of the National Guard Bureau
    and requested information on the number and duties of techni-
    cians assigned to janitorial and maintenance functions and on
    the quantity and ty-pe- 6f°'quipment---s1'gnedto the Green Bay
    armory. The information furnished to us by the Chief of the
    National Guard Bureau has been reviewed and is summarized be-
    low.

         National Guard manning documents do not provide for
    janitors. When janitors are employed, as at the Green Bay
    armory, they are not paid from Federal funds.

         At the Green Bay armory, the headquarters of the
    1st Battalion, 127th Infantry Division, 12 Army National
    Guard civilian technicians are employed.

         --Seven technicians are assigned to positions in the
           battalion headquarters to perform the daily work load
           in administration, training, and supply for all person-
           nel and materiel of the entire battalion.

         --Five technicians (not seven, as stated in the script),
           including one shop chief and four general mechanics,
           are employed in the organizational maintenance shop.
           The average annual salary of these technicians, paid
           in accordance with the Coordinated Federal Wage Sched-
           ule for Milwaukee, is $10,241.
