"Personnel is Policy"
Herbert E. Meyer

Back in the Reagan Administration, we had a saying that always drew sneers from the press and from the Washington establishment: "Personnel is policy." What we meant, of course, is that to execute the President's policies it was necessary to hire officials who supported these policies, and who would work to achieve the President's objectives rather than to undermine them.
