MR. RENNIE: Well, let me tell you of another
|
|
3
|
experience. When the National Association of Budget
|
|
4
|
Officers was formed, about eighteen, twenty years ago, they
|
|
5
|
had nineteen or twenty sessions, now, they wanted a repre-
|
|
6
|
sentative from Maryland to attend the initial incorporation
|
|
7.
|
meeting in Chicago. Kirkman was a purchasing man primarily
|
|
8
|
He had been President of the National Association of
|
|
9
|
Purchasing Agents and one thing and another. He said,
|
|
10
|
Rennie, I'm not going up there. He said, those people turr
|
|
11
|
over so fast. You meet one group and teach them all you
|
|
12
|
know and go back the next year and they have had an electic r
|
|
13
|
in the State and you have an entirely new group to face and
|
|
14
|
work with . He said, you go up. He said, I'll stick to the
|
|
15
|
purchasing agents. So, he sent me to the meeting.
|
|
16
|
I went to the meeting and during that initial
|
|
17
|
meeting I asked the question of the group assembled there,
|
|
18
|
and I think there were about twenty some States that
|
|
19
|
appeared at that first meeting, I asked, I want to know
|
|
20
|
what your state of employment is, as to the budget officer
|
|
21
|
here, whether you are subject to political vicissitudes or
