participation of employees in the formulation and implementation of personnel policies affecting them contributes to effective conduct of public business; and
the efficient administration of the Government and the well-being of employees require that orderly and constructive relationships be maintained between employee organizations and management officials; and
subject to law and the paramount requirements of the public service; employee-management relations within the Federal service should be improved by providing employees an opportunity for greater participation in the formulation and implementation of policies and procedures affecting the conditions of their employment; and
effective employee-management cooperation in the public service requires a clear statement of the respective rights and obligations of employee organizations and agency management:
, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the United States, by section 1753 of the Revised Statutes (5 U.S.C. 631), and as President of the United States, I hereby direct that the following policies shall govern officers and agencies of the executive branch of the Government in all dealings with Federal employees and organizations representing such employees.
