DWIGHT A. INK

Dwight A. Ink as Assistant Director of the Bureau, in charge of the Office of Executive Management, with primary responsibility for undertaking steps to improve management and organization in the Federal Government.

He is a career federal executive.

Director Mayo said that President Nixon is very much concerned with overlapping activities in the Federal Government and has asked the Bureau of the Budget to make a determined effort to eliminate the waste caused by duplication of effort. He is also deeply concerned about the complexity of governmental procedures, particularly with respect to programs assisting States and local communities, and has expressed gratification with Mr. Ink's appointment as an important step toward achievement of his objectives.

The Office of Executive Management is established to provide leadership in strengthening management throughout the executive branch. Mr. Mayo said this office will give high priority to assisting department and agency heads with interagency and intergovernmental management problems, especially in domestic programs where there is an urgent need to develop better systems for carrying out projects involving a number of agencies in different levels of government. Mr. Ink also will be concerned with day-to-day operational coordination problems and ways in which interagency bottlenecks can be broken and actions expedited.

Mr. Ink has had diversified management experience in the local, national, and international levels. He served the past three years as Assistant Secretary for Administration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he helped merge five semi-autonomous agencies into the new Department. From 1959 to 1966, he was Assistant General Manager of the Atomic Energy Commission. While there, Mr. Ink was engaged in a number of international activities and special assignments from the President and the Bureau of the Budget. He was Chairman of the White House Task Force on Education in 1965 and Executive Director of the Cabinet-level Commission created by President Johnson to help rebuild Alaska after the disastrous 1964 earthquake. Mr. Ink last year chaired a Presidential interagency Task Force which has recommended ways of cutting in half the processing time for a large number of Federal grant-in-aid programs.

Mr. Ink entered Federal service with the Bureau of Reclamation in 1950 to work on municipal water and sewage problems. He joined the Atomic Energy Commission in 1951 at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Before entering Federal service, Mr. Ink was Budget and Personnel Officer of Fargo, North Dakota.

In 1961, Mr. Ink received the Arthur Flemming Public Service Award, and in 1966 received both the Distinguished Service Award from AEC and the Career Service Award from the National Civil Service League.

A native of Des Moines, Iowa, Mr. Ink received a B.S. degree from Iowa State University in 1947 and an M.A. degree in Public Administration from the University of Minnesota in 1950. He is married to the former Margaret Child of Grinnell, Iowa, has four children, and lives with his family in Rockville, Maryland.

In 1942 he entered the army, and served as an intelligence officer with the 35th Infantry Division in Europe. He rose to the rank of Captain and won the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. While still in the army, he received a Guggenheim fellowship for work in medieval history.

In the fall of 1946, Mr. Keeney went to Brown as an assistant professor, and became a full professor in 1951. In administrative posts at Brown, he served in succession as Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Dean of the Graduate School, Acting Dean of the College, and Dean of the College, before becoming President of the University in 1955.

Mr. Keeney is the author of "Judgment by Peers" and of several articles on history, education and other subjects.
