# 29 U.S.C. § 556 - Chief clerk; other employees
## Text
There shall be in said department a chief clerk and such other clerical assistants, inspectors, and special agents as may from time to time be provided for by Congress.
(Mar. 4, 1913, ch. 141, § 2, 37 Stat. 736; Ex. Ord. No. 6166, § 4, June 10, 1933.)
## Notes
Editorial Notes
Codification The words “a disbursing clerk” were omitted from text on authority of Ex. Ord. No. 6166, which transferred all functions relating to the disbursement of moneys of the United States to the Treasury Department. See section 3321 of Title 31, Money and Finance. Section was formerly classified to section 615 of Title 5 prior to the general revision and enactment of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees, by Pub. L. 89554, § 1, Sept. 1, 1966, 80 Stat. 378.
Executive Documents
