VI Finally, S. 722 would also create a new Federal agency and would, in consequence, mean many unnecessary additions to the Federal payroll and a considerable delay in the program before the new agency could be staffed and functioning effectively. None of this is necessary, for all that needs to be done can be done-much better and immediately-by the existing Department of Commerce. Again, I strongly urge the Congress to enact new legislation at this session-but without those features of S. 722 that I find objectionable. I would, however, accept the eligibility criteria set forth in the bill that first passed the Senate even though these criteria are broader than those contained in the administration bill. Moreover, during the process of developing a new bill, I would hope that in other areas of past differences solutions could be found satisfactory to both the Congress and the Executive. My profound hope is that sound, new legislation will be promptly enacted. If it is, our communities of chonic unemployment will be only the immediate beneficiaries. A tone will have been set that would hold forth, for the remainder of the session, the hope of sound and rewarding legislation in other vital areasmutual security, wheat, sugar, minimum wage, interest rates, revenue measures, medical care for the aged, and aid to education to mention but a few. Only this result can truly serve the finest and best interests of all our people. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER. THE WHITE HOUSE, May 13, 1960.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MONUMENT COMMISSION ON FREEDOM MONUMENT The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs: To the Congress of the United States: I am enclosing for the consideration of the Congress a report of the National Monument Commission submitted as directed by the act of August 31, 1954. I have requested the Secretary of the Interior to submit to the Congress a proposed bill embodying the Commission's recommendations. The Commission's report recommends an approved design for the Freedom Monument, asks that the Commission be authorized to erect the monument, suggests that the number of private citizens serving on the Commission be increased from four to eight, asks the Congress to authorize the appropriation of $12 million as the Federal share of the cost of construction, and requests that the Commission be authorized to solicit private contributions for the remaining cost of the monument. The act of August 31, 1954, created the National Monument Commission for the purpose of securing designs and plans for a useful monument to the Nation symbolizing to the United States and the world the ideals of our democracy as embodied in the five freedoms-speech, religion, press, assembly, and petitionsanctified by the Bills of Rights adopted by Congress in 1789 and later ratified by the States. I believe it important that the story of the noble ideas which shaped our country's beginning, its course, its great moments, and the men who made it possible, be ever present in the minds of Americans. This purpose can be furthered in a variety of ways, but the simplest and most effective of all methods in my judgment is to present it impressively in visual form. The erection of the Freedom Monument would accomplish that objective. The National Capital area is adorned by a galaxy of memorials to individuals but nowhere in the Nation's Capital or this Nation can one find a memorial to the principles and ideals upon which our Government is based. The Commission, since its creation, has placed the ideas I have mentioned on the drawing board. It is intimately acquainted with the problems involved in the erection of the monument; it has advanced the memorial; and I recommend that the Commission be authorized to complete the task. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER. (Only copy of report was transmitted to the House of Representatives.) REPORT OF NATIONAL CAPITAL HOUSING AUTHORITY The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia: To the Congress of the United States: In accordance with the provisions of section 5(a) of Public Law 307, 73d Congress, approved June 12, 1934, I transmit herewith for the information of the Congress the report of the National Capital Housing Authority for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1959. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER. THE WHITE HOUSE, May 14, 1960. REPORT OF U.S. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION ENTITLED "EMPLOYEE TRAINING FOR BETTER SERVICE" The PRESIDENT pro tempore laid before the Senate the following message from the President of the United States; which, with the accompanying report, was referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service: To the Congress of the United States: The Government Employees Training Act (Public Law 85-507) directs the Civil Service Commission to submit annually to the President for his approval and transmittal to the Congress a report with respect to the training of employees of the Government under the authority of the act. I am transmitting to you with this letter the Commission's report entitled "Employee Training for Better Public Service." It is my firm conviction that training has long been essential for the successful operation of Federal agencies. Today's demands, however, bring a new urgency to training, especially for our career managers. I have, therefore, recently asked all agency heads to strengthen their programs for the selection, development, and training of these key officials. This directive is in addition to that issued in 1955 which supported all types of training. The action of the Congress in broadening authority to train Federal employees was a healthy and progressive move. The Commission's report shows that Federal officials have made intelligent use of their authority under the act and that it has helped to meet an urgent need. I was particularly interested in the Commission's comments on "The Future," which point out two important areas needing improvementplanning, and budgeting and scheduling for training activities. The Commission's report is encouraging and its suggestions to the agencies sound. A good beginning has been made under the authority granted by the Congress. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER. THE WHITE HOUSE, May 14, 1960.
