Harry Truman: “I am going to tell you just what these forces are.”

I believe that the report is of great value.

The people of the United States have a very great asset in this force.

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

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.
