SUBJECT: Presidential Recognition Program
I am pleased to announce that ten individuals and one group have
been selected to receive 1978 Presidential Management Improvement
Awards. The names of the recipients are listed on the enclosure.
Collectively, their achievements have saved the Government more
than $50.5 million and have contributed significantly to advance-
ments in science and technology, improving our national security,
and providing better services to the public.
The winners were selected from a field of some 2,900 outstanding
candidates. Since this program began two years ago, more than
4,200 employees and military members have been recognized for
contributions which have saved the Government more than
$479 million.
These gratifying results demonstrate my belief that Federal
personnel are willing and able to contribute significantly to
improving Government operations and services. Those serving in
management positions can help provide the necessary motivation
and incentive by listening to employee ideas and giving prompt
recognition to exceptional performance.
I urge each of you to use our various awards programs to bring
out the best in those who serve with you. So that I can continue
to add my personal congratulations and thanks, I ask that you
continue to provide me with the names of persons within your
organization who contribute significantly to increasing pro-
ductivity, improving services, conserving energy and other vital
resources, eliminating paperwork, and developing and applying
new and existing technology.
