Digitized from Box 11 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
MAY 27, 1975
Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President today announced the appointment of Rogers C.P. Morton,
of Easton, Maryland, as a member of the National Commission on
Productivity and Work Quality. He succeeds Frederick Dent who resigned
effective March 26, 1975, to become Special Representative for Trade
Negotiations.
Secretary Morton served as Secretary of the Interior from January 29,
1971, until President Ford appointed him to be Secretary of Commerce
on May 1, 1975.
The statute establishing the National Commission on Productivity and
Work Quality provides that the Commission shall advise the Congress
and the President with respect to Government policy affecting productivity
and quality of work, and requires the Commission to report annually on
its activities both to the Congress and the President. In view of these
requirements and the interest of the General Accounting Office in measuring
and enhancing public sector productivity, the Comptroller General of the
United States, Elmer B. Staats, was invited to work closely with the
Commission.
The Commission was originally established in 1970 and acquired its
present name and charter in Fublic Law 93-311 of June 8, 1974.
