Excerpted from: Never A Finished Thing: A Brief Biography of Arthur Joseph Altmeyer--The Man FDR Called "Mr. Social Security"
https://www.ssa.gov/history/bioaja.html

Arthur J. Altmeyer became one of the seminal figures of the Social Security program in America. He was:
- part of the President's Committee on Economic Security that drafted the original legislative proposal in 1934.
- a member of the three-person Social Security Board created to run the new program, and
- either Chairman of the Board or Commissioner for Social Security from 1937-1953.

"This enormously able man was a guide and inspiration to all of us who knew him well, and his shaping of the social security program and its administration entitle him to high rank among the outstanding public servants of all time."
-- Bob Ball--1972
