MEMORANDUM FOR: Chiefs of Clandestine Service Components
SUBJECT Preparation of Fitness Reports for Senior
Officers
REFERENCE Memo for Division and Staff Chiefs, from
DDP, 1 June 1965; Subject: Rating Officers
for Fitness Reports (attached)
1. The procedures for rating Senior Officers of the Clan-
destine Service established by.Mr. Helms in referent memorandum
will be continued.
2. I feel strongly that reports on our senior officers must
be prepared accurately and submitted according to schedule. Fit-
ness Reports for GS-15 and above officers in Headquarters assign-
ments are due in the Office of Personnel no later than the end of
April, and reports for field officers of these grades are due no
later than the end of May.
3. Inasmuch as the Evaluation Board for GS-14 Officers
convenes on 1 June 1971, we have requested in Book Dispatch 768.7
that GS-14 Fitness Reports be completed and available in Head-
quarters by 15 April 1971. This timing is necessary to permit
home base components to complete their review and evaluation of
officers preliminary to action by the Evaluation Board.
4. Fitness Reports for Station Chiefs which are prepared at
Headquarters must be sent to the field for the information and
signature of the officer concerned after having been reviewed by
the Division Chief or the ADDP, whichever is appropriate. In
these cases, the report should be prepared immediately following
the end of the rating period to assure that deadline for submission
to the Office of Personnel is met. In the special case of GS-14
officers noted in paragraph 3 above, if the report has not been
returned from the field at the time the Evaluation Board meets,
provide a copy (without COS signature) to CSPS for use of the
Evaluation Board.
