7. Recommendations for Promotion
25X1A9a a. GS-11, Medical Service Officer. The Executive
25X1A9a Secretary reviewed a request from Dr. _ for the promotion of Mr.
25X1A9a - to GS-l2 and a very fine Fitness Report which was attached in
support of the request. At the last Competitive Evaluation of GS-11
25X1A9a personnel, Mr.llllllllllllllllllllllllllwas ranked equally with another person for No. 3
on the list; since that time, the person ranked No. 1 has been promoted
25X1A9a and. Mr. ~lllllllllLs now tied for second position. In view of this, the
Executive ecre ry recommended consideration of the promotion be deferred
until another Competitive Evaluation of GS-ll personnel is accomplished.
25X1A9a DC/MS pointed out that the position now held by Mr. - is graded
GS-11 and recommended the field be made aware of this fact so that con-
sideration might be given to upgrading the position. C/MS concurred in
this recommendation and requested the Executive Secretary to prepare a
dispatch to this effect which will be forwarded through command channels.
b. At this time, the Board was requested by C/MS to comment on the
Competitive Evaluation Panel, its membership and effectiveness. It was
pointed out that there have been very few instances in which the Board
was in disagreement with the Panel's rankings. C/OD and C/CD felt that
it would be well to have as members of the Panel those Staff Members who
have had the majority of the technician-administrative personnel under
their supervision at one time or another so that the rankings would be
performed on the basis of personal observation rather than limited to a
paper review. In this context, COD suggested the Panel be composed of
C/CD, C/SD, and C/OD; however, CMS pointed out there would be little
need for the Panel if it were composed of most of the Members of the
Career Service Board. C/MS added that he would prefer to have C/OD and
C/CD as Members of the Career Service Board and stated the Board is not
required to accept all the rankings submitted by the Panel. Having
accepted C/MS' statements, the Board voted to retain the Panel as it is
presently constituted.
In answer to C/MS' query, the Executive Secretary stated a pro-
cedure for accomplishing the evaluations is established by CIA Notice
and the rankings are to take place during the quarter following the
receipt of Fitness Reports.
25X1A9a

C/MS asked the Executive Secretary to extend to the Panel
Members the Board's appreciation for their evaluations and to inform
them the Members of the Board will be glad to meet with the Panel at
any time, if such is felt necessary.
c. GS-8, Medical Technician. The Executive
Secretary reviewed a request from the Chief Technician for promotion of
Mr. to GS-9; this request was endorsed by C/CD. At the last
Competitive Evaluation of GS-8 personnel, Mr. was ranked No. 7 25X1 A9a
of 9 individuals; however, since that time, three persons have
moted and 4ast-heigk Is %. be considered shortly. Therefore, Mr. WW_25X1A9e

25X1A9a The Executive Secretary recommended approval of the request from
25X1A6a GS-13, Medical Officer, for extension of his tour of
duty at NUM from September 1960 to September 1961. The Board Members
concurred in this recommendation.
10. Request for Training
The Executive Secretary reminded the Members that the Board had
25X1A9a approved the request of GS-9, Medical Technician
(Supply), for external training in order to obtain his degree in
25X1A9a Pharmacy. When originally approved, the Members felt that in providing
a summer session of schooling for Mr. - both his interests and
those of the Agency would be served. However, upon investigation, it
has been determined he will require full-time attendance from June 1960
25X1A9a to Fall 1961 in order to obtain his degree. Mrs accordingly,
has been informed by cable that the external training has been disapproved
25X1A6a and will be assigned to Headquarters on return from assignment at
