handle is hein.gao/gaobadvgp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Watchdog Reports The following items from past issues of The Watchdog, the monthly newspaper of the GAO Employees Association, are republished for the interest of GA0's present professional staff. Weitzel Sworn in as Assistant Comptroller November 1953 Frank H. Weitzel, appointed by the President as Assistant Comptroller General of the United States, was sworn in October 12 at 10 in the General Accounting Office auditorium by Judge James R. Kirkland of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Comptroller General Lindsay C. Warren, in pres- enting Mr. Weitzel to take the oath of office, said: On June 29, 1953, Frank L. Yates, the Assistant Comptroller General of the United States, unexpectedly passed to his final reward. It was a crushing blow to all of the personnel of the General Accounting Office, who loved and admired him. His memory will long be treasured here for he was a noble public servant and a friend of man. In selecting his successor we feel honored and proud that the President came to this office to fill the vacancy. There were several of our officials who were finely equipped for this impor- tant post, but I think all of us will agree that no one could have been chosen who would have met with greater approbation than Frank H. Weitzel. There is no finer example of the career public servant which he has so brilliantly typified. His appointment has thrilled not only the General Ac- counting Office but the Government as a whole. Closely associated with him as I have been over the years, I know him to be a man of lofty character, great integrity, outstanding ability, and high ideals. He is fair, patient, stead- fast, and unafraid. I know him to be dedicated to the preservation of the independence of the General Account- ing Office, to its nonpartisan and non- political status, and to its position as the agent of the Congress and a part of the legislative branch of the Gov- ernment. Shoald those who have the responsibility for the Office, either now or in the future, ever fail to follow any one of these principles, the effectiveness of our work will be de- stroyed. In his new office, Frank Weitzel will be the same unspoiled, unaffected, modest young man as we work daily side by side with the exec- utive branch for a better and more efficient Government.
