From the Paper "One of the 13 major operating components of what is now the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Communicable Disease Center officially began operations in a modest building in Atlanta, Georgia. A descendent of the Roosevelt administration's Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA) agency, the CDC's initial mandate was to win the fight against malarial mosquitoes. With an initial budget of under $10 million, the CDC waged its war against malaria with fewer than 400 employees, millions of gallons of DDT, and a paucity of trucks, sprayers and shovels (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDCweb], 2007)."
