WASHINGTON
October 14, 1975
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
I have appointed Secretary of Commerce Rogers C.B.
Morton as Chairman of the Interdepartmental Savings
Bond Committee. He succeeds Secretary of Agriculture
Earl Butz, who has served in that capacity with great
distinction since 1972.
The Savings Bond Program offers a convenient way for
every American to build financial security.
The success of this vital program owes much to the
broad acceptance by Federal employees of the Payroll
Savings Plan. It is essential for each of us to
provide effective leadership by encouraging every
employee to buy Savings Bonds regularly.
Secretary Morton has my full support as he undertakes
this new responsibility. I know he can count on your
fullest personal interest and cooperation in attaining
new high levels of participation in the Payroll Savings
Plan throughout the Federal establishment.
Herald R. Ford
