A working capital fund of $400,000 is established without fiscal
year limitation, for the payment of salaries and other expenses
necessary to the maintenance and operation of (1) central duplicating,
photographic, and tabulating services, (2) a central motor-transport
service for the maintenance, repair, and operation of motor-transport
vehicles and other equipment, (3) a central supply service for the
purchase, storage, handling, issuance, packing, or shipping of
stationery, supplies, equipment, blank forms, and miscellaneous
materials, for which stocks thereof, not to exceed $200,000 in value
(except for the value of blank forms) at the close of any fiscal year,
may be maintained sufficient to meet, in whole or in part, requirements
of the bureaus and offices of the Department in the city of Washington
and elsewhere, and (4) such other services as the Secretary, with the
approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget,
determines may be performed more advantageously as central services;
said fund to be credited with advances or reimbursements from applicable
funds of bureaus, offices, and agencies for which services are performed
on the basis of rates which shall include estimated or actual charges
for personal services, materials, equipment (including maintenance,
repairs, and depreciation) and other expenses: Provided, That such
advances shall not be available for any period beyond that provided by
the Act appropriating the funds: Provided further, That such central
services shall, to the fullest extent practicable, be used to make
unnecessary the maintenance of separate like services in the bureaus,
offices, and agencies of the department.
