RICHARDSON, SECRETARY JAMES B. CARDWELL, ASSISTANT SECRETARY, COMPTROLLER LEWIS H. BUTLER, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PLANNING AND EVALUATION CHARLES MILLER, ACTING DEPUTY BUDGET ASSISTANT Mr. FLOOD. The committee will come to order. SECRETARY, We have with us Mr. James B. Cardwell, the Assistant Secretary, Comptroller for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and he is accompanied by Mr. Lewis H. Butler, Assistant Secretary for Plannning and Evaluation, whom we have seen here before, and Charles Miller, the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget, whom we also have seen many times. The first part of the hearing will be the regular chart presentation generally made to give us an overall picture of the Department's budget. We usually listen and don't consider this an examination period unless there is some one item here and there that a Member wishes to have clarified. After the chart presentation we will hear, and of course question, the Secretary. Is this your first appearance, Mr. Cardwell, in your new capacity? Mr. CARDWELL. Yes; it is, sir. Mr. FLOOD. We have known you long and favorably and well, and we think the powers that be had excellent judgment in elevating you to our friend Kelly's spot. There is no doubt in our minds, or Kelly's either, that you will do the job adequately and well. So you can take the curtain up and prove I am right. Mr. CARDWELL. I will give it a try. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MR. JAMES BRUCE CARDWELL Mr. FLOOD. Before you do that we would want to have you place a biographical sketch at this point in the record. Mr. CARDWELL. I am James B. Cardwell. I have worked for the Federal Government since 1942. I started in general administration in the Public Housing Administration, in fact in its predecessor agency, the old U.S. Housing Authority. |
