S PD Daily Report - 15 November 1973
1. It may be of interest to know that we learned from Security
today that the following organizations routinely polygraph applicants:
CIA, NSA, Seven-Eleven, and Dart Drug.
2. I attended on behalf of the D/Pers the IAG meeting in Civil
Service Commission today. Four topics of interest were discussed:
The discussion on EEO emphasized upward mobility. The
Civil Service Commission is going to make life difficult for
agencies whose EEO plans do not contain meaningful, definitive
upward mobility programs. One member of the group commented
that the fact that HEW was allowing up to 20 hours per week
sponsored external education for upward mobility candidates was
giving his agency a problem in that their upper limits were 9 hours
and 12 hours. Mr. Posen's response to this was that the Commis-
sion preferred not to quantify guidelines in this area. Most of
the group seemed to accept the lack of quantification.
A human engineering expert from DOD who has headed a
'task force of eight people for the Commission for the past 'ten
months reported on his progress in developing a new fitness
report. He calls it is performance evaluation program. The
intentions and -the words and the goals are all beautiful; i. e. ,

employees will participate in fitness reports, managers will
no longer avoid rendering fitness reports, fitness reports
will be relevant to work being performed, and everybody will
be happy. The group listened skeptically. On Monday,
20 November at 1:00, another meeting is being held solely
on this subject. All agencies were encouraged to select a
knowledgeable representative to attend the meeting and participate
in the development of a test program. Although we may choose
not to participate in this depth, I suggest we keep a fairly close
eye on this activity. My bet is that an improved performance
evaluation system will come out of this project.
A. presentation was made demonstrating the fact that the
Commission has computerized information on the subject of
management /labor union negotiations. It is now in use to a
limited degree. By the summer of 1975 agencies may query
the system to determine all kinds of things about management/
labor union agreements.
A. presentation was made on the subject of the President's
Executive Interchange Program. Over the past years the
program has expanded each year. This year there were 92
nominations from government; 45 were assigned to industry.
