It shall then undertake the drafting of civil service rules necessary to implement and supplement such legislation.

When the Bureau is given responsibility, it should be given corresponding authority.

Its final report shall summarize the recommendations contained in the report of the survey made by the Budget Commission, listing the recommendations which have been implemented and those which have not been implemented and the reasons therefor.
The Committee may secure records, data and information or draw personnel to assist it in its work from any bureau or office of the Government.
