Tables of Organization has been reviewed and the following
suggestions are offered:
(a) Due to the current need which is in line with the
limitation placed by the Bureau of the Budget on
personnel services and to assure that each request
is fully satisfied, it is suggested that paragraph
A. be strengthened to make clear the importance of
adequate justification. Paragraph A. might be supple-
mented as follows:
 Approved F 9r Rele M?1 f4 ~ IAA-RDP78-055a8A000100070048-2
It is the opinion of the undersigned that paragraph
B. (5) should be deleted in its entirety, All increases
in T/d should be approved by the DD/A. However, he may
delegate to his deputies if he so desires the approval
Of j761,5 not exceeding whatever limitation he desires
to make.
I do not concur with paragraph C. in its pree int form.
The entire paragraph should be rewritten and provisions
made for review by the Comptrollers Office as limita-
tions have been placed by the Bureau of the Budget on
funds and also on the number of positions contained in
the budget for overseas activities. It might be pre-
ferable to eliminate this item entirely and treat it
as a separate subject for later consideration,
it is the opinion of the undersigned that a separate
and distinct procedure should be established for the requesting
and approving of T/O slots for Grades 16 and 17. Grade 18 has
been omitted since approval is required by the Director. Regula-
25X1A tion M provides for the approval and processing of prsonnel
actions once the positions or slots are established on the T/Cis.
I would like to suggest that a Board or Committee be established
to review the present euperrade structure within the Agency and
that this same or similar Board or Committee review and recommend
approval or disapproval of future requests for the establishing
of positions in Grades 16 and 17. The Poard or Committee, if
establishhed,, would perform similar functions to that which the
Civil Service Commission now performs for all other Governer
Agencies in connection with the establishment of supergrades.
