Campbell and Bert Lance announced plans citing goals of improved productivity and smoother operations amid questions about hiring, firing, and potential agency changes. The study aims to assess whether the Civil Service Commission should modify or retain its roles in appeals and retirement administration while keeping politics out of the process.

Soak That Barge! Kilpatrick calls for user charges on barge ops
James J. Kilpatrick argues that U S taxpayers subsidize inland waterways at about 4 billion dollars for construction and 4 billion for maintenance while barge operators pay no user fees. He urges the Senate to adopt a phased charges plan, starting 1980, reaching full costs by 1989. He compares subsidies to trucks and rail and ridicules opponents as resisting fairness. He cites big corporations and coal traffic to stress burden on the public.
