contributions to legislative debate.” Myers also was praised by Rep. Florence P. Dwyer of New Jersey, ranking Republican on the House Government Operations Committee of which Myers is a member. Mrs. Dwyer commended Myers for his incisive questioning of witnesses and for his “hard work on legislation.” The Committee oversees the economy generally and the efficiency of government activities. Myers has supported Republican efforts for a thoroughgoing, top-to-bottom reorganization of the Executive Branch, Congresswoman Dwyer noted. He

is a co-sponsor of a measure designed to improve the accounting systems in each Federal Department, a move that would save millions of tax dollars. Myers also won commendation from Rep. Page Belcher of Oklahoma, ranking Republican on the powerful House Agriculture Committee.
