"In the promotion of the general welfare, Federal employees should not be neglected."

"Important as it is for Members of the Congress to have adequate clerical assistance, it is at least of equal importance to have men of ability in the key executive positions in the Government."

"The best of laws can be ruined by poor administration."

"In this they play a role similar in character to that of the various units of the Executive Office of the President."
