MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Management and Services
SUB ECT s Office of Personnel Report -- Week Ending
25 ianuary 1974
1. Minority Rocin*mersts
recruiter, reports some progress in attempting to
reach qualified minority candidates. H. has made contact with the
Regional Director of the Civil Service Commission, Mr. Ruben
Holder (Black) who is proving to be very cooperative. Mr. Holder
has introduced Jim to the Placement Director of the National
Urban League, Mrs. Ruth Atben King (Black). The League has a
large skills bank of minority personnel. Mrs. King has also
indicated that she would be happy to assist Jim in identifying qualified
black candidates for employment. In Addition, Jim says be has
received several referrals from the now Deputy Mayor of New York
City, Mr. Paul Gibson (Black) through the good offices of Mr. Holder.
Jim will be sending some excellent cases in as soon as they are
complete.
2. Test Site Problems
a. A summary of the supergrade policies and system including
the Supergrade Evaluation System together with statistics relating to
supergrade structure throughout the Agency over a period of years has
been developed for the Office of the Comptroller end the Director. A
position survey of all supergrade positions in the Agency is in process
at this time.
25X1A recruiter reports that the testing facilit
previously used in Madison. Wisconsin, is no longer available. The
Postmaster for Madison has informed him that the rooms in the Post
Office heretofore used are being renovated and will be used for Post
Office functions. The problem is that the Post Office in Madison is
the only Federal facility in the city. The testing lab at the
University of Wisconsin in which our tests are conducted has agreed
to use their facilities for administering the tests on a one-tine basis.
Ken is afraid that using University space on a continuing basis would
come to the attention of the radical elements at the University And
therefore might become a target for demonstrations. He will us* them
for the next test period but will then attempt to make other arrangements.

preparation of the survey report. Discussions were held with
Department of Labor personnel in the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration for comparative data relating to the OS
Safety Branch.
c. In the survey of the Office of Medical Services all
audits have now been completed and information is being evaluated

4. Military Contingent Dro ds WH Support has advised
us that the Army Guard (six positions) will be
dropped as of the end of the current fiscal year; however, there
will be a requirement for their services through September 1974.
Hopefully, we can get the Department of Army to carry them in
"detailed for duty" status for the short period I July - 30 September
1974 so that they will not be reflected on the Agency's rolls.
5. Briefing of Inspector: We met with
of the IG staff this week to discuss with her our exit and follow-up
interview programs.
6. Retiree Homecomings Status of Homecoming Day
plannings Printing Services Division has now completed preparation
of self-addressed envelopes for us; Clerical Staffing Branch has
completed preparation of the envelopes which will contain the
letters to the invitees; OMS has completed its screening of the list of
retirees and has suggested five deletions; Central Cover Staff and
Security are still working on their screening of the list; the program
outline I. with the Director today and we are awaiting its approval.
'STATSPEC 7. Co-Op Programs An encouraging development took
place this week in the Cooperative Education Program. The Office
of Economic Research
have decided to join the Co-op Program. The encouraging part is that
the primary thrust of the recruiting will be for minority students,
specifically blacks. Schools that are the most likely source of students
with the desired qualifications have been identified. Both offices are now
developing co-op work programs for the Co-op Coordinator to send to
these schools.
