Honorable Allen A . Dulles
director of Central Intelligence
This administration is committed to establish and maintain a
standard of public service which will be a real source of pride to our
nation. Our success will depend upon the skill with which we use all
the resources at our command. Cf these, our human resources are
'by far the most important.
;'%e must make sure that the people selected for government
positions are men and women of integrity and. devotion and competence.
e must also make sure that ermm,ployees are trained to do their
work in the most effective ways. = e must create conditions which will
help them do their best work, with the greatest satisfaction to the pub-
lic they serve. We nust continue to provide, and to improve, the means
by which they can maintain and increase their competence in their ?.A/ork.
Training of this kind repeatedly proves its effectiveness in in-
dl.ustry and in the military services. To establish clearly our intentions
with respect to employee training in the civilian activities of the Govern-
nient and to stimulate appropriate constructive action, a training policy
for the executive branch has been formulated. A statement of this
policy is enclosed.
I strongly urge, for the President, that you use this statement as
a guide in establishing and conducting needed employee training in your
department or agency.
