League Picks Top Ten
An astronaut, a housing economist, an agricultural researcher, a
diplomat, a communications lawyer--these are among the ten outstand-
ing federal government employees whom the National Civil Service
League named today for honor. They will receive the League's 1970
Career Service Award--sometimes called the "Nobel prize in govern-
ment"--when the League holds its 16th yearly awards banquet on
May 8 at the Washington Hilton.
Announcing the Awardees in a reception today at the Federal City
Club, NCSL President Mortimer M. Caplin commented on the great
variety of occupations represented by these government career Award
Winners. Mr. Caplin noted that--in pursuing their varied careers--
"these winners have contributed in many important ways to improving
the quality of our national and international life. " "These people,"
he said, "have walked on the moon, developed fairer housing programs,
modernized our tax collecting system, devised ways to deliver the
mail quickly and cheaper, all as a part of performing their duty as
career employees of the United States government".
The ten 1970 Award Winners are:
Vernon D. Acree, Assistant Commissioner (Inspection) , Internal
Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury for his distinguished
service and for the development of the IRS internal security operations;
Dr. Beatrice Aitchison, Director, Transportation Economics Branch,
Post Office Department, for her accomplishments in gaining economic
transportation of the mail;
Neil A. Armstrong, Astronaut, National Aeronautics and Space Admini-
stration, for his pioneering in space;
Ned D. Bayley, Director of Science and Education, Department of
Agriculture, for his expertise in administering a research program
and bringing its results to the people;
Henry Geller, General Counsel, Federal Communications Commission,
for his work in many areas of national communications policy, among
them, regulations for community antenna television and the develop-
ment of a policy for the use of communications satellites;
Philip C. Habib, Member and Senior Advisor, Paris Peace Talks,
Department of State, for his lifelong work in international relations,
particularly for his work in Saigon and now in Paris;

Lawrence R. Houston, General Counsel, Central Intelligence Agency,
for his design of CIA's legal structure and his expertise in intelligence
law;
Henry L. Newman, Regional Director, Southwest Region, Federal Aviation
Administration, Department of Transportation (Ft. Worth), for his high
efforts to advance aviation safety and growth and his ability to interpret
these issues to the community;
William I. Page, Director of Field Coordination, Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, for his extraordinary ability to administer many
programs involving many levels and jurisdictions of government--most
recently seen in his work as Regional Director of HEW in Atlanta;
William B. Ross, Deputy Under Secretary for Policy Analysis & Program
Evaluation, Department of Housing and Urban Development, for his major
role in shaping new directions within the area of housing and related
programs.
At the Awards Program, each winner will receive $1,000, an inscribed
gold watch and a plaque of honor.
Since 1955 the National Civil Service League has yearly paid honor to
ten top federal career employees. The program's purpose is not only to
honor these employees but to:
*encourage others in government to pursue excellence
*promote public appreciation of quality in government
*stimulate able young people to choose careers in government
Many of the more than 1, 000 expected at the May 8 banquet at the
Washington Hilton will be from the ranks of the 150 former Awardees. Also
expected are community business and professional leaders and high govern-
ment officials.
