A. Should the system provide for the identification of supervisory person-
nel and/or positions?
Yes, this seems desirable. The C/PMCD has been assigned the
task of setting up levels and types of supervision. We will
contact you when we have progressed further.
B. Should the Agency adopt a system of unique position numbers which would
identify a position regardless of subsequent changes in location on the
staffing complement?
No, the advantages are more apparent than real. Unless there
is an overriding need from a mechanical standpoint, the, Office
of Personnel does not need this.
C. Should provision be made to record subordinate designations of recognized
official Career Services for both personnel and positions?
D. Should the Staffing System identify positions designated as "rotational"
(positions of one Career Service or "home base," list attached, to be
filled by personnel of another Career Service or "home base") and show
them as such on the Position Control Register?
No. Rotational positions will change and trying to keep them
up-to-date would be a problem. In DD/P we can show home base
positions by the Career Designation (DX, etc.) If they really
feel it necessary we can show the rotational positions the
same way.
E. Does the designation of supergrade, Chiefs of Stations and Bases and
project positions as "SG" and "00" serve a valid purpose? If not, may
it be discontinued?
Question has been put to the Deputy Directors and the Executive
Director-Comptroller.
F. Should the Manpower Control System establish controls on the duration of
assignment to the Development Complement by providing for expiration
dates on the Request for Personnel Action? How should the Development 25X1
Complement be reported on the PCR and strength tabulations?
individuals should be slotted against the Development Com;.emer:t
'n accordance with the Regulations, and the Personnel Action
should reflect the proper reason for the action and the ex;ect~:1
duration (NTE). Such procedures will enable the monitoring of
the Development Complement by the Central Office.

G. Should the Request for Personnel Action be designed to include provision
for designating the employee to be replaced by the individual on whom
the action is being processed?
Yes, but for all overlap cases.
H. Should Midcareerists be identified uniquely in the system? If so,
(1) when is an individual a Midcareerist - when identified by his Career
Service or when he completes the Midcareer Executive Development Course,
and (2) what are the potential reporting requirements?
1. Provide for identification of those who complete the Midcareer
Executive Development Course.
2. Information requirements similar to CT's.
I. Should Staff personnel separated for active duty with the Armed Forces
be retained in the Manpower Control System in an active non-strength
status?
Yes, except recommendation 3 (Distribute notifications of eligi-
bilities for step increases).
J. Should applicants in process for staff positions be reflected on the PCR?
If so, where should they be shown?
No, applicants should not be on PCR.

by a change in present procedures or who may have a particular
interest in the subject.

We realize that while most of these questions have been
raised in one form or another in the past, the impact of any
change from the present system may require additional study.
Nevertheless, we would appreciate your best estimate as to
when we might expect your reply on this set of subjects.
Twenty or more other problem areas have been identified which
will require policy decisions. These will be forwarded in
subsequent books.
We shall be happy to furnish additional copies of the
attached if it would be of assistance.
