Political Quotes

“I want to particularly thank the chairman of this committee, the gentleman from Missouri, [Mr. Bill Clay], my friend, who has been the chairman of this committee for some time now. I served on the committee when he was a member, of course, and he has always been in the forefront of legislation for rational personnel policy for the Federal Government. This bill accomplishes that and I am pleased to support it. As I said, I am going to support as well the Penny-Burton-Solomon amendment which the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Myers], was also very much involved in formulating, to make sure that we do what we are saying we are doing.”
