PENSION BUREAU Other [Business relating to pensions was being conducted under the War Department as early as 1792. pensions were paid from the navy pension fund, which from 1799 to 1832 was administered by a commission composed of the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of War. In 1832, the management of this fund passed into the hands of the Secretary of the Navy. An act of Mar. 2, 1833 (Stat. L. v. 4, p. 622), provided for the appointment of a commissioner of pensions to "execute under the direction of the Secretary of War such duties in relation to the various pension laws as may be prescribed by the President of the United States." This office was continued by succeeding acts. By act of Mar. 4, 1840 (Stat. L. v. 5, p. 369), the pension business theretofore transacted in the Navy Department was transferred to the office of the commissioner of pensions, and the commissioner was directed to "execute under the direction of the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy such duties in relation to the various pension laws as may be prescribed by the President." The office of the commissioner of pensions was transferred to the Interior Department by the act organizing that Department, Mar. 3, 1849, and since about 1890 it has been termed Bureau of Pensions.] I 24.1: (date) I 24.2: B321 B322 Annual reports [See, for annual reports 1826-48, addressed to Secretary of War, W1.1: From 1840 to 1848, the commissioner also made to the Secretary of the Navy an annual General publications Battles.
