t committees have gained an : additional year of : experience working with the -combined staff.. iThis report =is made~inklight of this L

experience.

I Based on the two years:. worth of experience with a combined staff, l

the. Committees remain-satisfied with ; thel l support,they: are receiving.

. Procedures and' practices developed"overtthe past30 g

.-years for ACRS operations provide " a ~ basis' for e conduct of'.- ACNW-activities with which > staff: and< Committee : members;: are familiar.

p Sharing a combined staff has placedianiincreased b'urdenion; staff members because J of, expanded ACNWLactivities,- but has,resulted. in.

o' an economica) :use of manpower. : Although' the LProject Branches are Ldistinct,' many of J the supporting functions for ACRSlneed 'not be duplicated'.by s'aparate staff L aembers and : facilities? for, ACNW.

Examples of shared = functions! include:! receipt.and distribution:of

. documents, maintenance; of. files, : travel ~ arrangements, complying with FACA requirements, personnel actions, and~ budget' preparation..
