§ Mr. H. G. Williamsasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department how many persons are employed in the grade of chief clerk of commercial diplomatic offices; and how many of these are established officers?
§ Mr. R. S. HudsonThere are no established chief clerks but there are 15 un-established officers who have this title. There are, however, eight established assistants to commercial diplomatic officers. Their duties are practically the same as those of chief clerks.
