Room FEDERAL CIVILIAN DISTINGUISHED Miss Holmes SERVICE AWARD Miss Gandy Reference is made to my earlier memorandum this morning. relative to the "alternate group" meeting this morning at the Civil Service. Commission to weed out all but five of the recommendations concerning the Federal Civilian Distinguished Service Award.. I have now learned there were thirty-one award recommenda-. tions all total. All but seven were weeded out. This group decided to recommend seven instead of five to the principle Awards Board inasmuch. as they felt that the remaining seven were all outstanding. Of the seven Ieft, Mr.lfolson heads the list. He is the only. attorney and only law enforcement executive among the seven. The remaining. recommendations included Messrs. New of NASA, Rowlett of NSA, Tresise (ph.) of State, Irons of Civil Service Commission, McCandless'of Budget and. Greives of Commerce. REC-143 The final meeting of the principle Awards Board will be held. within the next several days. It appears rather obvious that Mr. Tolson stands an excellent chance of being among the top five..
