EXCEPTIONAL CIVILIAN SERVICE DECORATION AWARDED - The following was sub- mitted by Mr. Ray A. Witnik and serves as an example of an award of this decoration. It was obtained from "News Release No. 105-68" of the office of Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs).

Army Chief of Staff Harold K. Johnson today’presented the Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service to Mr. Leonard W. Hoelscher upon the latter’s retirement after twenty-seven years of government service. The presentation, the third such award Mr. Hoelscher has received from the Department of the Army and its predecessor the War Department, was made at a mid-day ceremony in General Johnson’s office. During the past fifteen years Mro Hoelseher has been the Deputy Comptroller of the Army, serving under nine Comptrollers in that capa- city. His primary function was to conceive systems for program and fi- nancial management within the Army and to direct Comptroller activities. Before coming to work with Department of the Army, Mr. Hoelseher was with the United States Bureau of the Budget. In 1961, Mr. Hoelscher presided over a board of sixty-three Army of- ficers and civilians in a comprehensive study of the functions, organiza- tion and procedures of the Department of the Army. Based on recommenda- tions of the study, the Department of the Army undertook the most exten- sive reorganization in its history° Mr. Hoelseher received the Depart- ment of Defense Distinguished Civilian Service Award for his role in the study. The Comptroller of the Army, LTG Frank J. Sackton, will host a re- tirement dinner in honor of Mr. Hoelscher at Patton Hall, Fort Myer, on Thursday evening (February I, 1968). Guests will include former Comp- trollers of the Army and members of the Army Secretariat. After retirement Mr. Hoelscher will serve for several months as a consultant with the Public Administration Service for the University of Hawaii, following which he and Mrs. Hoelscher will reside at Tallahassee, F]nrida.
