Now, we contribute to members of the CabinH the same way. Cabinet officers as much in the way of automobiles and ex I refer again to our distinguished Commanding General of penses incident thereto as we do in salary. the -Army, a man ~or whom I entertain the highest esteem I call attention to the report of the Attorney General, for and respect and regard. We furnish him four automobiles,' and instance, which is now befare me. I qu-0te: the cost of those automobiles is put down at $32,000, and the Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General, Washington, D.

NoTE A.-Tbis report covers the latest quarter year for wbieh returns have been received. The fiscal year 1922is not taken as a basis for this report for the reason that many cars in use during the year are not now in use, while some now in use were not in use during that year. Variations in cost of upkeep and operation are due to differ ences iJ?. mileage .and. character and extent of repa.i!s during the quarter. Chaufieurs operate different oars as required. All cars are over 4 years old, and consequently expensive to mamtam and operate. The law forbids purchase of new cars. NOTE B.-Passenger automobiles are not assigned exclusively to any official or person, and no names are therefore reported. The following instrnctions are in force: April 2, 19I 7. The bureau (Yards and Docks) bas been directed by the Acting Secretary of the Navy to inform commandants that all passenger-carrying aut-Omobiles are to be used for official purposes of the navy yard or station, and a.re t-0 be available for the use of any of the officers or employees whose official duties require the service of the automobile, and that they are not to be considered as having been furnished for the exclusive use olthecommandant. 2·946 CO:N GRESSION AL RECORD-SENATE.
