ATTENTION
SUBJECT Briefing of Personnel Scheduled for Overseas Duty
1. The Office of Personnel is currently reviewing its program for
assisting and briefing employees scheduled for overseas duty. In addition to
mandatory informal procedural requirements on matters such as transportation,
passports, documentation, travel advances, security, etc., the Office of Per-
sonnel tries to render useful assistance and guidance on matters which are
predominantly the personal responsibility of the individual.
2. We believe there is probably a great deal of practical advice that
can and should be given to employees but which is not provided at the present
time. Most of this information seems to fall in the area of legal advice or
at least to have such predominant legal overtones as to lead us to seek your
assistance in developing a listing of topics for possible inclusion in our
briefing material. Even though we recognize that no two persons may have the
same problems or the same need for assistance, a checklist with appropriate
explanatory text would seem desirable. Some of the topics we have in mind are:
a. The need for a will - why and when important. How to
prepare and execute a simple will appropriate to most
situations. Where to find examples of sample wills.
How to recognize special problems warranting an
individually tailored will.
b. Powers of Attorney - purpose and significance - situations
recommending prior establishment of power of attorney.
c. Preplanned and arranged guardianship for children in
event of common disaster to husband and wife.
d. Designation of an executor in a will. Who should
executor be? Importance of having executor a resident
of probating State. Advantages of an institutional
executor. Use of your personal bank as an executor.
e. Joint bank accounts - pros and cons. Joint home ownership.

f. State and D.C. income taxes - How to accomplish a change
of domicile which will be acceptable to tax authorities.
3. In summary, we are suggesting the ultimate development of a check-
list of briefing materials which will induce people to take inventory of
their own personal affairs and which will incite them to take foresighted
action when appropriate. Further, we would want to tell them what office in
the Agency will give them further assistance or where else they should go
for specific action. To develop such material one must have awareness and
knowledge of the problems and difficulties encountered by the unfortunate
individual because he did not anticipate the eventuality which came his way.
We presume members of the Legal Staff can collectively recall numerous cases
representing all of the major pitfalls. We therefore ask whether you ca%TATINTL
and will undertake the initial identification of subjects worthy of coverage
and then work with us in the development of effective briefing materials.
