DRAFT
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Personnel
SUBJECT : Promotion Policy
REFERENCE : Your Memorandum of 29 May 1963
1. I appreciate your explanations as given in reference, and
look forward to the study referred to in paragraph 4+ thereof.
2. Certainly I agree that a person who is promoted from GS-7
to GS-8 in one year, then to GS-9 in the next, is financially better
off than the person promoted directly from GS-7 to GS-9 after two
years. The problem as posed, however, concerned the claimed policy
e
other Government agencies a@ promot~g from GS-7 to GS-9 after
one year in grade.
3. The OCR Survey reveals that the Agency's field recruiters
often make the statement that the Agency's promotion policies are
"the same as other agencies and in conformity with standard Civil
Service practice." Your memorandum would indicate that such is not
the case. Undoubtedly we have other good selling points in our
recruiting program, and do not have to rely upon speed of promotion
alone to gain the high caliber of personnel we need.
)+. I recommend that you inform all field recruiters of the
Agency licy..,-&n promotions';'which, requires transition thro_, hr /
