DRAFT OF REMARKS FOR THE PRESIDENT
ADVISORY COUNCIL ON FEDERAL REPORTS - October 14, 1952
I am glad to be with you on your tenth anniversary, even if only
for a few minutes, to express the appreciation of your Government for
the fine work which the Advisory Council on Federal Reports has done
in the past decade.
Good statistics are an important tool of management both in
business and in Government. Neither could function effectively
unless it had at hand a fund of reliable information on which to draw
in making important decisions. In many instances business and Govern-
ment use the same fund of basic information. It is important that
that information be as complete and accurate as we can make it. The
Council's contribution toward this end has been extremely valuable
and I am sure that all of you will continue your fine work in seeking
to improve our method of gathering statistics and the manner in which
we use them.
This Council is unique in many ways, but principally because it
shows the way in which Government and business can sit down together,
and with their combined talents, work out problems and procedures
that benefit both. From these flow efficiency and economy from which
all the American people benefit.
I wish we could somehow get the message across to the American
people that such organizations as this Council can and do work
effectively here in Washington. Making Government more economical
