Mr. Chairman, before proceeding with my prepared statement I should like to indicate for the record that Mr. Nelson A. Rockefeller, the Under Secretary, and Mr. Roswell B.

Also present to assist in answering technical questions are Mr. Arthur Kimball, Acting Deputy Director of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, and Mr. Donald Dabelstein and Mr. Joseph Hunt, who are also from that Office.

I wish you would extend to her our compliments and the compliments of the chairman and the full committee for this commendation.
