Potential Questions to Elicit Nominees' Views on Agencies' Management Challenges

Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "GAO provided a list of potential questions that Senate committees could use to help determine the leadership and management experiences and capabilities of nominees to leadership posts in major executive branch agencies. These questions cover a wide range of management-related issues in different organizations within each agency and, therefore, would not be relevant to all nominees. GAO suggests that these questions be used to prompt informal and formal discussions on management challenges."

Oral History Interview with John Unger, January 18, 2001

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with John Unger. Unger was born in 1920 in Austria and immigrated to Missouri when he was a child. In 1939, he joined the Navy and trained as a hospital corpsman. After various schools and duty stations in the US, Unger volunteered to go to Wake Island in late 1941. He recalls the Japanese assault on the island and his activities prior to being captured and made a prisoner of war. The Japanese used Unger to care for their wounded and eventually shipped all American military personnel to a POW camp China. Unger served in the camp hospital combatting illnesses such as dysentery and malaria. Sometime around early 1945, Unger and his bunch were shipped to Japan. Upon being liberated, Unger developed appendicitis and was taken aboard a hospital ship that returned to California. Unger also mentions being reunited with his wife and seeing his 4-year old son for the first time.
