Eric Johnston, who has resigned

very high praise" for Federal

to say about Governemnt workers:
"One of the rewarding things
of this job to me has been my as
sociation with the Government
and its employees. I have found
they are very loyal group OF
people who work very hard at
their job. There may be some ex-
ceptions, but there are exceptions
in private industry as well. And
I think that by and large they
will stack up with those in pri-
vate employment at any time.
1T has been one of my re-
warding experiences to have
known them, to have worked with
them, and to have found out for
myself that they are a very ef-
fective group of people who have
the interest of their country at
heart. I think too frequently we
forget that when we talk about
Government employees"
