A FAREWELL MESSAGE

April 10, 1953

To My Friends and Fellow Workers:

It is hard to say good-bye to the work of a life-time; but it is even harder to say good-bye to all of you who have made a living reality of these great social measures entrusted to us for administration. However, my sadness at leaving is tempered by my realization that these programs are now firmly established as a part of the American way of life and that you who remain will carry on as you have in the past, serving the people of this country loyally and efficiently. Words cannot express my gratitude to all of you. Good-bye and God bless you.

Arthur J. Altmeyer
