Analysis or Techniques & Methods Proposed T/O
15 October 1952
1. I have reviewed the proposed organization for Techniques &
Methods and submit to you the following observations and recommendations*
as To the first recoem,endation of the paper, that of
organizational structure, I would subscribe to fully*
b. To the second recommendation of the paper, the
following reservations are hold. There are no borrowed
slats for Techniques & Methods Division since the 20
August T/4 approval. Their total T /O allows
25X_~~6A departmental positions
-LOA Their present recruitment
25X1 A
and 12 vacancies. The staff study has asked for an
additional 11 new positions to be added immediately.
To allow 11 new positions within the current 1036 T/0
will require either (1) a requested increase of T/a or
(2) the transferring of position slots from other divisions
in ORR. Either step would involve a review by Management
and Classification & Ware Division. In view of your justi.
fications set forth at the time the present T/0 was re-
quected two months ago, the Techniques & Motes proposal
presents a problem of re-definition of your objectives in
this aroa to Management. It would seem more justified to
25X1 A ask the organization to o'er; to within it current framework
_ departmental positions and to re west on a pro eat
basis at overseas slots necessary
25X1 B4D
c'inc a the l)-54 budget provided for
25X9A2 increases as against the 43 requested in the oc qu s :
Met ods pro osal: I would suggest that careful examination
of that be made to see whether it could not fulr
25X1 A fill the objective adequately for 1954. It is not rocom?
mended that the 1951 budget be resubmitted at this time.
Incidentally, current recruitment trends and lose trends
through separation and in process declinations indicate
until January, 1954 to come anywhere

o. To the third recommendation, it should be
noted that any chanjre in classification of present
T/O slots must come about by a classification sur-
v+ary. A survey on the present T/4
has been scheduled by S,// to take p as in a u
three weeks. I have advised that office to prepare
the necessary functional sta esents and job descrip-
tions and St/t. plans to spend considerable time going
over each position in an effort to get the requested
grades. However, I feel that in some oases the grades
are too high compared with other similar positions in
the Aeenopr and that the proposed schedule will be very
difficult to justify at this timer. When the organisa-
tion is in full steam, relation of the grade
structure would be timely.
2. I will be at your disposal for any doom entatim you may
need to come to ur decision on the matter. As a personal comments
I would add Q that should pet all the support we can
give him to get the opera on producing.
