Harry Truman: “I do hereby proclaim Saturday, May 17, 1952, as Armed Forces Day;”

I feel the Committee has done a thorough job of investigation and I wish to call your attention to these suggestions, some of which, I am sure, would be helpful.

I have great faith and confidence in our civil servants.

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

The course of action you recommend has my approval.
