General Statement on the Concept of the New NSPS. After serving in the US Army for 22 Years starting my service in 1959 and then serving with the Government Federal Service since 1983 (22 Years) I have nothing but the deepest respect for our past Government Leaders, Military Leaders, Government Civil Service Leaders and fellow workers. I have never served with a person in the Armed Services or the Government Service that I personally did not have the deepest respect and admiration for. Every one of them had the highest morals, ethics, and ideals of what it was to be a person, an American, a soldier, or a government civil servant. They truly believed in these ideals and lived with these ideals and put them into practice everyday. They did this and carried out their responsibilities without the need for a repressive old boy, retaliatory, dictatorial personnel system. They had leadership and true believe in the American way. They set the example, espoused the highest American and public service ideals. Everyone had representation, input, and whole heartedly participated in the system. It is with the deepest concern, that I see that these past ideals are no longer considered true or factual, that we now think we have to drive people, yes even herd them, with the use of a repressive, non-participatory, and dictatorial personnel system that has been put forth by the present administration. It has never been necessary in the past to use such repressive personnel system to meet the needs of this country; there is no conceivable way that such a restrictive personnel system will be necessary in the future. Using the present personnel system past administrations have done right to achieve Government requirements with the present Civil Service System without any degradation of either the personnel system or the highest outcomes for the Government’s need.
