ME'*MORANDUM TO THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
To assure that those portions of President Johnson's Budget Message
of January 21 that are of particular importance to all Federal em-
ployees are brought to their attention, I am requesting that each
agency distribute the following excerpts from that Message to each
of its employees:
EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT
I call upon all Government employees to observe three para-
mount principles of public service:
First, complete fairness in the administration of governmental
powers and services;
Second, scrupulous avoidance of conflicts of interest; and
Third, a passion for efficiency and economy in every aspect
of Government operations.
For its part, the Federal Government must be a good employer.
It must offer challenging opportunities to its employees. It
must be prompt to recognize and reward initiative. It must
pay well to attract and. keep its share of dedicated and re-
sourceful workers. It must welcome fresh ideas, new approaches,
and responsible criticism.
For 33 years I have been in Government service. I have known its
challenge, its rewards, and its opportunities. But all these will
multiply in the years to come. The time is at hand to develop the
Federal service into the finest instrument of public good that our
will and ingenuity can forge.
Controlling Employment. -- Although both our population and our
economy are growing and placing greater demands upon the Govern-
ment for services of every kind, I believe the time has come to
get our work done by improving the efficiency and productivity
of our Federal vork,;orce, rather than by adding to its numbers.

Salary Reform and Adjustment.-- !although this budget is deliber-
ately restrictive, I have concluded that government economy will
be best served by an upward adjustment in salaries. In the last
year and a half the Federal Government has taken far-reaching steps
to improve its pay practices. The Federal Salary Reform Act of
1962 and the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1963 established the
principle of keeping military and civilian pay generally in line
with pay in the private economy. This is a sound principle, and
it is reinforced by the sound procedure of annual review. This
principle is fair to the taxpayer, to Government employees, and
to the Government as an employer.
