Nothing shall deny the right of Federal employees to organize or be fully represented by their unions, I repeat. That is all. That is all it deals with here. It does not say they can get a nickel from the taxpayers to do that. That is not the intent of it. But on these task force things like the Japanese method, which Mr. Demming gave to our people and our people turned down and he went over and gave to them, where the workers come in and say they could probably save a little money if you tilt those Venetian blinds and not blind the people all afternoon, that kind of thing, that is the whole purpose of this.
