2 There is not space here for a proper bibliographical listing, but such a list would surely include the studies by David, and Pollack, on Executives for Qovernment (1957)Google Scholar, Bernstein, on The Job of the Federal Executive (1958)Google Scholar, Henry, on Presidential Transitions (1960)Google Scholar, Stanley, on Professional Personnel for the City of New York (1963)Google Scholar, The Higher Civil Service (1964), and Changing Administrations (1965) and Kilpatrick, et al., The Image of the Federal Service with its accompanying Source Book (1964)Google Scholar.

3 It will by no means conclude the Brookings contributions. Probably to be published this year is a study by Stanley, Mann, and Doig, tentatively entitled Men Who Govern: A Biographical Profile of Federal Political Executives, 1933–65.
