"H.R. 20 would effectively repeal the Hatch Act's essential prohibitions on partisan political activity by Federal civil servants."
"After all the debate, no real need to repeal the existing Hatch Act has been demonstrated."

"The Hatch Act has upheld the integrity of the civil service by assuring that Federal employees are hired and promoted based upon their qualifications and not their political loyalties."
