Since we are noting various historical anniversaries on June 6th . . . .

Today is the 92nd birthday of Elmer B. Staats, former Comptroller General of the United States.  I had the pleasure of arranging a reception and producing historical exhibits and videos here at GAO to mark Mr. Staats's 90th birthday in 2004.   Mr. Staats truly is an admirable person and a model public servant!
