Mrs. Jayne Baker Spain, who became Vice Chairman
of the Civil Service Commission on 14 June, spoke on the
importance of training. Mrs. Spain indicated that she will
take a special interest in aiding women, minorities, and the
handicapped. She commented specifically on the Federal
Executive Institute and the Executive Seminar Centers
sponsored by the Civil Service Commission and the fact that
few women have attended these programs. She commented
on the President's message of 21 April regarding the recognition
of the equality of women by making use of their skills and
calling for a significant increase in the number of women in
middle management positions. Mrs. Spain believes that the
first step in reaching this goal is to have more women in
mid-level training programs.
