The shop could be used to I better advantage if the equipment were brought and if more space were provided. In fact, a project usually can't be completed in the shop because equipment is broken down or because of a lack of equipment. As an example, the power hacksaw is in need of repair and can't up-to-da- te he used. The Automotive Hobby Shop, which operates as a Morale and Welfare Category III activity, is primarily for the benefit of active duty military personnel. Shop space is determined by the number of active duty military personnel assigned to the base in accordance with Air Force Manual 86-- Six thousand square feet of space is authorized, which is only 800 square feet more than the Shop presently occupies.

A The Security Police periodically monitor parking lot 1 to insure that no personnel are improperly parked. However, this lot is declared open parking and anyone with a proper parking decal, with the exception of parking lot 50, can park in subject parking lot.

Also, why has an investigation not been made into this matter? competitive positions, sufficiently alike in duties, responsibilities, pay systems and working conditions that the incumbent of any one of them could be readily shifted to any other position without undue interruption to the work program. Separate competitive levels are established where significant differences in duties, responsibilities, pay systems, appointment authorities, skills, training, experience, performance standards, etc, make it impractical to consider such positions as interchangeable. The above is the only basis for establishing separate competitive levels and certainly not for the protection of individuals during a period of reduction-in-forcDuring the months of August and September 1972 representatives of the General Accounting Office (GA(V made an investigation into the reduction-in-forc- e procedures used during the 1972 RIF caused through the reduction of 1,086 spaces.

First, in lieu of turning off every other bank of lights as has been suggested, and is already being implemented in some buildings in the 1200 zone, why not remove one or two fluorescent light tubes from every light fixture? This practice should result in a 25 to 50 per cent decrease in electricity consumption.

The power hacksaw referred to is excess equipment, and is so old parts cannot be located to repair it.
