MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, Agency Retirement Board
THROUGH : Chief, Personnel Operations Division
SUBJECT : Proposal for an Agency Pre-retirement Program
REFERENCE : Your memo to C/POD dtd 21 Mar 60, same subject
1. I would encourage you to go right ahead with a counseling
program designed to meet the needs of persons as far away as ten
years from their anticipated age of retirement. It would seem to
me that any program of group discussion would be a natural out-
growth of individual counseling; in fact, I get the impression that
this is the way you would plan to get around to group work and I
fully agree with you on this point.
2. Now the very practical question arises: how do we kick
this off? I would suggest that we do so by sending a very digni-
fied communication to the people whom you intend to see in which
the purpose of your interview with them would be set forth and an
indication given that you will, at their convenience., arrange for
the time and place of the talk. You could then follow up on this
on the understanding that some people will say that they are not
ready to talk about such things yet.
3. It would be a good idea to set up a roster of the people
who do not yet want to talk and work this roster once every two or
three years. If we start early there is no reason why we should
not have a pretty relaxed schedule. In picking up the roster the
second time I would be inclined again to send a written communica-
tion to the individual and follow up much as you were planning the
first time.
