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.
The experience of this early period of public action showed that constant vigilance and competent professional guidance are essential to prevent irreparable losses.
I am happy to join with you in the recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Civil Service merit system.
