'Tor its part, the Federal Government must be 

 a good employer. It must offer challenging op- 

 portunities to its employees. It must be prompt 

 to recognizee and reward initiative. It must pay 

 well to attract and keep its share of dedicated and 

 resourceful ^vorkers. It must ^welcomie fresh 

 ideas, new approaches, and responsible criticism. 



"... The timie is at hand to develop the Federal 

 service into the finest instrument of public good 

 that our will and ingenuity can forge." 



Lyndon B. Johnson
