Proclamation 3496
EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF CIVIL SERVICE ACT
By the President of the United States of America
A PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, January 16, 1963, marks the eightieth anni
versary of the signing of the Civil Service Act of 1883; and
WHEREAS, the Civil Service Act has stood the tests of
time in providing the excellence in civil service which is
required for successful execution of Federal programs and
policies which have deep significance to all Americans and
all citizens of the free world; and
WHEREAS, the Act of 1883 has been strengthened by
subsequent laws, interpretations, and executive actions to
create an even more effective and highly qualified Federal
work force; and
WHEREAS, the life of every American is touched direct
ly or indirectly every day by the services which Federal
public servants perform; and
WHEREAS, public esteem for career civil servants is a
prerequisite for attracting well-qualified citizens to compete
for Government service, a fact which requires greater pub
lic awareness of the value of the merit system, the achieve
ments of Government workers, and the career opportunities
offered in Federal service:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President
of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the
people of the United States to participate in the observance
of the eightieth anniversary of the Civil Service Act during
the month of January 1963.
I also call upon the heads of Federal departments and
agencies, as well as leaders of industry and labor and mem
bers of all public-spirited groups, to arrange appropriate
ceremonies in honor of the public services performed by our
able and devoted Federal civil servants throughout the
country.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be
affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this twenty-eighth day
of September in the year of our Lord nineteen

of the United States of America the one hundred
