U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
WORKPLACE STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20110
OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR
November 6, 1970
MEMORANDUM #88
To: ALL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING AGENCIES
As part of our policy of informing the contracting agencies of significant
actions taken by the Department of Labor which affect our joint responsi-
bilities in administering the various government contracts programs, we
are calling to your attention a recent reorganization which consolidates
into one Office of Government Contracts Wage Standards, all the Department's
wage determination functions under the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, Service
Contract Act, and Public Contracts Act. This office will also handle
matters regarding interpretations, regulations, and exemptions relating
to the various laws which provide wage standards for government contracts.
The office will be under the direction of Mr. E. Irving Manger, formerly
head of the Division of Wage Determinations, who will have as his Deputy,
MY. Warren D. Landis, formerly Assistant Administrator, Wage and Hour
Division.
Enforcement matters relating to the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts which
in the past were addressed to Mr. Landis should now be addressed to
Mr. Francis J. Costello, Assistant Administrator, Wage and Hour Division.
This reorganization, which becomes effective immediately, is part of the
consistent effort by the Department to make improvements in the quality
and efficiency of the services it has statutory responsibility to provide.
We thank you for cooperation in the past and look forward to your con-
tinued cooperation in areas of mutual concern.
Robert D. Moran
Administrator
