	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Public Sector Pensions in the United States
		To support the movement in the United States, proponents of universal old-age pensions pointed out that by the early twentieth century, thirty-two countries around the world, including most of the European states and many regimes considered to be reactionary on social issues, had some type of old-age pension for their non-military public employees.
		On the one hand, this summary of state and local pension plans suggests that of all of the political units in the United States, the states themselves were the slowest to create pension plans for their civil service workers.
		Although the maintenance and operation of the state and local pension funds varied greatly during this early period, most plans required a contribution from workers, and this contribution was to be deposited in a so-called "annuity fund." The assets of the fund were to be "invested" in various ways.

	Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The federal bureaucracy in the years after the Civil War was generally undistinguished, because the system of selecting officials and supervising their work was irrational.
		By end of the Civil War the number had increased to 53,000; by 1884, 131,000; and by 1891, 166,000.
		A civil service movement started in New York in 1877, and although it developed considerable public support, the politicians refused to go along.

		Civil Service systems were designed with the goal of preventing corruption and patronage in government employment; they were not designed to be efficient or well-managed systems.
		The concept at the heart of the civil service reforms was to institute a system using objective examinations to determine the suitability of prospective employees for the job in question, and award positions to the most qualified applicants rather than an official’s most ardent political supporter.
		Civil service rules should must be made in light of the operational realities of a personnel system in a large, modern organization.

	Theodore Roosevelt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Theodore Roosevelt (October 27, 1858–January 6, 1919) was the twenty-fifth (1901) Vice President and the twenty-sixth (1901-1909) President of the United States, succeeding to the office upon the assassination of William McKinley.
		Roosevelt was born at 28 East 20th Street in the modern-day Gramercy section of New York City on October 27, 1858 as the second of four children of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr (1831-1878) and Martha Bulloch (1834-1884).
		He made such a concerted effort to root out corruption and "machine politics" that, it is said, Republican leaders in New York advanced him as a running mate for William McKinley in the 1900 election simply to get rid of him (at the time becoming Vice President generally marked the end of a political career).

		The creation of the two new agencies--the Office of Personnel Management and the Merits System Protection Board--is necessary because the present commission has failed both to manage the system and to monitor government workers, Campbell said.
		He added that a key to reform is the establishment of a "senior executive service," to consist of the 9200 top executives in the federal government.
