Mr. Duane Gibson 4 



It is difficult to separate field employees from office employees. All of our 

 field personnel at one time or another perform tasks in the office, and many 

 of our office personnel travel to the field for various tasks connected to 

 their jobs. What we have provided is a breakdown of employees who work out of 

 or are supervised from the Regional Office, and the remainder of the total, 

 who work under the Tongass National Forest and/or the Chugach National Forest. 

 Again, these figures are 1) number of employees, not FTEs; 2) RIO permanent 

 employees only, excluding FSL; and 3) exclusive of temporary employees. 



We hope we have been of assistance in providing these facts and figures. 

 Should you need more information, we shall be happy to accommodate. 



Sincerely,
