RETIREMENT OF SIR REGINAL SWARTZ - STATEMETN BY THE PRIME MINISTER, THE RT HON WILLIAM MCMAHON CH MP

EMBARGO: 7 TUESDAY. 92
FOR PRESS: PM. No. 7C/ 19) 72.
RETIREMENT OF SIR REGINALD SW1ARTZ
Statement by the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon
William McMahon, M. P.
I deeplv regret that Sir Reginald Swartz has decided not
to stand at the next elections for understandable personal reasons.
Sir Reginald has given long and dedicated service to
Australia in a number of portfolios. He has a fertile min and is
a master of tactics and has left his mark on each of the portfolios
he has administered. His experience and ability both as Minister
for National Development and Leader of the House will be missed.
He is one of the most popular " embers in the House and
Members of all parties will regret his decision to stand down.
I wish him and Lady Swartz many years of enjoyable
retirement. CANBERRA, 24 July, 1972. .972.
