T~MORAZ'tDUl`~Z FOR THE H^ DS OF DEPARTMEPITS A1~D AGEI~TCIES
Subject: Control of federal 3~'nployment
The Budget which I will send to the Congress next month z~rill not
only halt the groirth in Federal employment, but will actually make
a small reduction from this year's level.
Fven though nothing like this has happened in the last decade, I
am still unconvinced-that we are getting the maximum possible out-
put per employee. 2 believe we can do better.
The Budget Director will shortly notify you of the year-end maximum
l
emp
oyment levels which result from my final budget decisions for
both fiscal years 1964 and 1965. ?
Let me make it clear that these end-of-year figures are ceilings,
not goals.
As soon as these figures reach you, T want you personally to re-
examine your employment situations and to establish new end-of-year
targets below these maximums. I want you to report these targets
to me promptly. I will review them personally..
' en I approve near targets for your agency, you will put them into
effect and make strenuous efforts to achieve them through tighter
management, redeployment of personnel, simplification of procedures,
and stripping work to essentials.
I will expect you to make quarterly reports to me, beginning
April 1, 1964, on what you have accomplished under this effort.
Finally, once I have given my approval to your new targets, they
are nat to be exceeded without my explicit approval.
