pour in this recommendation.
2. The two chief resume advaneed for the proposal that two
or aor *lasses of field offieee be established ere: first,
that the burden of reeponsibility is not equal in all offices,
end mond, that the present structure provides no flexibility
for progressive assignmente.
3. It *en readily be conceded that the ehief of a large field
office has more administrative responsibility than the ehief
of a smeller office; however, administrative responsibility is
only one basis for the valeation of a field ehicif, nor is it
his ms4or responsibility. Essentielly, it is his nission to
represent the Agemey in hie areal to convey to business and
stucsational leaders the nature and importance of the Ageneyte
mielsionl and to obtain and maintain their eoperation and
sepport. It is thus quite as important to the Agemey that ite
mission be wellW vented at the highest possible level to the
for example, as it is that the

=eh organisations ley be higher.
Am Also it hes never been felt that either the Agency or an indi
vin:1d
field ?hie would profit from progressive field assign-
Tc the highest degree possible field chiefs were
Oelootsd because dr their stature in, :nd knowledge of, their
own areas, and the value of eontinnity of *outset over the

a life-long resident of 111111111111 for examples for
* to a totally strange area such as i
transfer of a 'Lief having life-time
interepto in the lir last, to the would appear
obvious. To the Agency it would mean the loss of the value of
long personal associations; to the individual it would provide
ne aftaneement or advantage whatsoever. Nost of the field
thief' joined the Ageney at a considerable fleanelal sacrifice,
eeneequently a promotion of one grads would hardly be a factor.
t should also be pointed out that a field objet, whatever the
se of his offices, is required to establish and maintain
cordial end workable relationships with most of the federal and
legal governmental and military elements in hie area. Theme
