correction is completed by November 15 so the Budget 

 Bureau will have time to compile the final estimates and 

 have them ready when Congress meets the first week in 

 December. 



After the appropriation bill is passed, which ordinarily 

 happens in March, the Budget Clerk notifies each of the 

 Division Chiefs of the amount appropriated for his division. 

 He then prepares a statement showing just how he expects 

 to spend the money, and the amount to be allotted to each 

 man. 



When this apportionment has been approved by the Chief 

 of the Bureau, the next duty of the division is to determine 

 the amount to be spent each quarter. Expenditures must be 

 kept within the quarterly allotment and an allotment for a 

 sub-appropriation cannot be exceeded except with the con- 

 sent of the Budget Bureau. However, transfers between 

 projects or spending agencies making up the sub-appropria- 

 tion are matters for bureau determination. In addition a 

 reserve is usually required by the Budget Bureau to be main- 

 tained for each project and which cannot be spent except 

 with authorization of the Budget Director. 



Personnel Administration: The activities of the Survey 

 require personnel with various types of training. The 

 Division of Biological Investigation and Food Habits Re- 

 search requires a personnel trained in biology. The Division 

 of Fur Resources, operating in somewhat of a new field, 

 has taken men with training in animal husbandry, while 

 Land Acquisition is staffed by civil engineers. The Divis- 

 ion of Game Management has recruited a personnel having 

 a general educational background and given it the special 

 training required for the work after entrance to the service. 

 The staff division of Administration is recruited principally 

 from the ranks of men and women having clerical training.
