overseas, namely the Supply Technician position at and this 25X1A6a
would not mean a promotion in either responsibilities or grade. The
Acting Executive Secretary also assured the Members that would 25X1A9~
be replaced by a Medical Career Designee. The Board Members approved the
request for transfer of Career Service Designation.
7. Assignment
25X1A6a The Acting Executive Secretary asked the Members to consider the
assignment of a Medical Technician to- as a replacement for'5X1A9a
25X1A9a GS-8, Medical Technician. The following three candidates were
25X1A9a r., GS-8, Medical Technician
GS-8, Medical Technician
GS-6, Medical Technician
The Acting Executive Secretary strongly recommended the assignment of Mr.
25X1A9a - to this position. However, C/TSD did not feel that Mr._ would25X1 A9
be technically competent for this position and preferred that he remain
in Headquarters for additional technical training. C/TSD added that a
technician due to EOD in the near future would appear to possess the qual-
ifications desired for this assignment and recommended action be held in
abeyance pending a review of the new technician's proficiency. CAS
asked that this matter be decided outside of the Career Service Board
Meeting.
8. Career Preference Outlines
The Board again discussed the purpose of the Career Preference out-
lines and the reasons for their review. Reference was made to CIA Regu-
lation 20-115 and also to the Career Service Board Meeting of 19 December
1956. The timing of the review of the Outlines was also discussed.
In connection with this discussion, CMS asked the Members' opinions
regarding the procedures of the Board. It was decided that, while it is
necessary to consider individual case actions, too much time is spent
reviewing and discussing matters not immediately pertinent to the careers
of Medical Staff personnel. Accordingly, the Acting Executive Secretary
was requested to prepare and disseminate to the Members prior to the next
meeting a more effective means of presenting such matters as Fitness
Reports, Training Evaluation Reports, and Periodic Step Increases.
The subject of Review of Career Preference Outlines is to be placed
on the Agenda for the next Career Service Board Meeting.
