While it cannot be expected that the full cost of purchasing ($1,046,000) and maintaining ($234,000) the new equipment can be recovered in the first two years of operation, it can be expected that, over the expected five-year life of the equipment, savings on temporary assistance and overtime alone will offset that cost.

On that basis, additional appropriations would be required under sections 28I, General Services, Geneva, 29B, Conference Services Division, GenevaJ and 32, Construction, alteration, improvement and major maintenance of premises, as follows: I ...
