CMS informed the Members of his conversation with the Deputy Director
of personnel wherein it was noted that the Medical Staff is in competition
with other Government agencies for the procurement of physicians and the
request was made that consideration be given to the granting of authori-
ties and advantages, specifically those benefits granted the Veterans
Administration, to this Agency. On the basis of this discussion, the
Position Evaluation Division has been requested to undertake a study of
these benefits and their possible application to our recruitment program.
Upon completion of this study, additional discussions will be held with
the Deputy Director of Personnel.
C/IBS also inquired if the DCI had authority to establish wage stan-
dards or if this Agency must comply with the standards established by
the Civil Service Commission. He was informed that the DCI definitely
does have such authority.

Veterans Administration will introduce additional legislation to extend
the benefits granted medical personnel. C/MS stated he has already
requested investigation into this matter.
C/PD informed the Board that the American Psychiatric Association
has appointed two committees, one to study the means of maintaining
adequately-trained psychiatrists in the armed services, and another to

look into the problem of 300 positions remaining unfilled within the
Veterans Administration. It is understood the latter committee will
recommend the establishment of a single federal medical service to
handle medical personnel, thus removing the competitive aspects of the
various agencies in the recruitment of psychiatrists. C/PD will keep
the Board informed of developments in these matters.
C/PD recommended the development of liaison with officials of the
Veterans Administration in order to determine future plans with regard
to career programs for medical personnel and the nature of the proposed
legislation. CMS will discuss this matter with the Director of Person-
nel and, if he concurs in such contact, will request C/PCD to initiate
appropriate clearances.
The subject of the recruitment of physicians is to be placed on the
Agenda for the next Career Service Board Meeting at which time the
Members will discuss their experiences in this regard.
