The President has asked me to transmit to you the attached
directiv^ concerning control. off' Federal employment. Yau will
note that tree k~resident asks for px?orrrpt and personal action on
your ,part, wnd ti;at hP y~lans to re~riew each response personally.
The initial a,c~tion required is an identification of new end-of-year
ornploymcnt targets for FY 19fi~+ and 1965 below those allowed your
agency by the President's decisions on the 1965 budget. If you
ha~re not .yet been notified of that allowance, you will be advised
immediately.
t~ guides to tiro preparation of your report to the President, I
;could suggest the following:
1. That the nova targets for large agencies be broken
.own into subtr~rgets for each :,f the rra jar constituent
p?~.rts of the agency.
~. TYrat the targ~;ts differentiate between permanent and
other e~:~loyees.
That the new targets be achieved by methods which
E~roduce meaningful Goverrxaent economies, rather
than ly devices of a merely statistical mature.
~~. That this repo ~ be submit *.,ed to the President no
later thar. Janus.ry 1G, ~~, ~ ~ ~

by the rresident wi11 be the subject of a ft*tur~ mer..oraxrdtun.
