Harry Truman: “Vote for the interests of the United States.”

No more than one National Security Medal shall be awarded to any one person, but for subsequent services justifying an award, a suitable device may be awarded to be worn with the Medal.

The ultimate responsibility is mine in any event.

The course of action you recommend has my approval.

I am happy to join with you in the recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Civil Service merit system.
