Senator MCCARRAN. Senator, I think that you are not reading comparable columns.

Chairman McKELLAR. I am giving what they sent me.

Senator MCCARRAN. I may be wrong, and if so I want to be corrected.

Chairman McKELLAR. I am taking the total of each one.

Senator MCCARRAN. Just take the first one, Afghanistan. There are 7 nationals of Afghanistan and 6 other employees, of which 4 are Americans, making a total of 13.

Chairman McKELLAR. That is right.

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right.

Mr. WILBER. That is in Washington only, at their Embassy. Senator MCCARRAN. Going on to Argentina, the nationals of Argentina are 61, and there are 18 other employees, of which 2 are Americans.

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right.

Senator MCCARRAN. A total of 79.

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right, sir.

Senator MCCARRAN. I want to clear up the figures that the Senator is reading.

Chairman McKELLAR. Take Argentina; it is 117 total.

Senator MCCARRAN. No. Well, yes; 117, but that includes all the installations in Argentina. I want to get myself straight here. Chairman MCKELLAR. That is what I want to do.

Will you get the others that are here, so that we can make a comparison?

Senator MCCARRAN. I did not want to interrupt you, Senator. Chairman MCKELLAR. That is all right. I believe we have already inserted this in the record.

At the close we find 3,375 for these other countries, and ours is 8,603. Can we not have a little economy?

Senator MCCARRAN. Taking the totals now, nationals of other countries, 2,581, and then other employees, 794, of which 425 are Americans, or a total of 3,375.

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right-in Washington.

Senator MCCARRAN. In Washington.

Mr. HUMELSINE. Yes, sir.

Senator MCCARRAN. Now, abroad-and see if I am right in reading this abroad, 3,169 Americans, 3,272 of the locals, making a total of 6,441 altogether.

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right.

Senator MCCARRAN. That is in the embassies?

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is in the embassies.

Senator MCCARRAN. You come down to the other posts; total Americans, 875, locals, 1,287, or a total of 2,162?

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right.

Senator MCCARRAN. That gives you then this sum total of all, 4,044 Americans; and the locals, 4,559, or a total employed in the foreign posts of 8,603?

Mr. HUMELSINE. That is right; yes, sir.

DEFINITION OF LOCAL PERSONNEL

Chairman McKELLAR. While there are 4,044 Americans, you call them locals here. I do not know what you mean by "locals," 4,559 or a total of 8,603. What are the locals that you have?

Mr. HUMELSINE. Sir, I did not get your question.

Chairman MCKELLAR. Locals?

Mr. HUMELSINE. Alien employees.

Chairman MCKELLAR. You have more alien employees than you have American employees?

Mr. MARTIN. Custodial employees.

Senator ELLENDER. Cooks?

Mr. MARTIN. Yes, sir. These are charwomen, cleaners, and custodial people, used for that type of service, not engaged in confidential work.
