Also present were the following members of the Little Hoover Commission: Mr. Joseph Rosenblatt, Mr. Bruce Jenkins, Mr. John Rackham, Mr. Evan Michelson, and Mr. Heggstron, Project Engineer of Booz, Allen & Hamilton.

A revised statement of the State Road Commission was distributed to the members of the committee. Rep. Munson, as chairman of the Health and Welfare subcommittee, led the meeting and welcomed the interested groups. After introductions were made, Carlyle F. Gronning, Chairman of the Industrial Commission and Utah Labor Relations Board, distributed a. written statement which outlined the program of the Employment Security Department, and stated the department should remain under the Commissioner of Labor and Commerce because the program is not a welfare program and would tend to produce bad relations with the people concerned if they were connected with the Welfare Department. The statement also pointed out what benefits the program offers the employment situation, including Youth Opportunity Centers, Youth Employment Services, Agricultural Employment Services and the Veterans Employment Service. Mr. David K. Holther, Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Industrial Commission of Utah, made a presentation and distributed a written statement which presented the feelings of the council. He stated the council voted unconditionally its disapproval of the recommendation that the Department of Employment Security be moved from the Industrial Commission or Labor Department to a Department, of Health and Welfare Services. The council members representing workers made it clear that those they represented would be incensed if compelled to apply for unemployment benefits or for work through an agency which had any attachment to a welfare program. Discussion proceeded and it was pointed out that the unemployment benefit is an insurance fund for people who have been working and have lost their job for some reason and who qualify for the payments. The benefits are given based upon previous employment and on the desirability and inclination to take another job. Mr, Holther explained that those persons who abuse the benefits are in the minority and the department discontinues payments as soon as this type person is discovered. The matter of the federal government entering into the state's control of the Department of Employment Security was discussed. It was stated the Department resists the federal control as much as possible, but the Department does receive funds from 17 different federal sources. Commissioner Gronning stated there is a direct connection between the Department of Employment Security and the Commissioner of Labor and Commerce
