All this, however, would have little meaning for the country, were it not for the quality, the intrinsic value of the product supported. It has often been said that the arts and excellence in them deeply affect the quality of our lives. Recently a friend of the arts put it this way: "It is not surprising that there is an increasing public interest in the arts. They enhance the quality of life, renew the senses, remind us that we are vital. We have begun to reevaluate their importance, to accept without apology their ability to quicken the mind and refresh the spirit, not as a privilege of the few but as a right of the many-the pursuit of happiness." We have discussed the many tangible values of the arts. These are the intangible values. In the past they were extolled by the few. Now they are clearly rec ognized by millions of Americans, by growing numbers who seek to enhance their lives. We ask from the Congress the opportunity to welcome tomorrow's challenge, with the means at hand to carry forward the work we have begun. APPENDIX A ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT The Endowment established the Office of the Assistant Chairman for Management in January of this year and consolidated under that office, a number of responsibilities that had been previously located in various areas of the Endowment. All of the following activities now report to the Office of the Assistant Chairman for Management-Budget, Planning, Research, Evaluation and Audit Liaison, Program Information, Administration, and Secretary of the National Council on the Arts. In addition, the Grants Office, which is physically located in our building but is technically a part of our Foundation's Shared Staff, also reports to the Chairman through the Assistant Chairman for Management. The results of this recently undertaken reorganization have been most gratifying. There has been a noticeable improvement in many of our administrative and managerial procedures including smoother grant application handling, quicker cash requests response and faster resolution of many administrative problems. Our internal communications have been strengthened under the direction of the Assistant Chairman for Management through the designation within each office of a Program Administrator and the establishment of regular Program Administrator meetings through which flow the kinds of administrative and managerial information that the agency needs to operate at peak efficiency. We are optimistic that this reorganization of staff, which has only been in effect a few months, will continue to have a more positive impact on our efficiency and productivity. In Fiscal Years 1975 and 1976, the Endowment had 130 permanent positions and 70 part-time and temporary positions.
