"For its part, the Federal Government must be 

 a good employer. It must offer challenging op- 

 portunities to its employees. It m^ust be prompt 

 to recognizee and re^vard initiative. It must pay 

 w^ell to attract and keep its share of dedicated and 

 resourceful workers. It must ^velcome fresh 

 ideas, ne^v approaches, and responsible criticism. 



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

 service into the finest instrument of public good 

 that our ^vill and ingenuity can forge." 



Lyndon B. Johnson
