SUBJECT: Proposed Standards for Employee and Agent Selection
1. A meeting was held this date with ADCS/MO, C/TSD,
C/PD and the undersigned., at which it was recommended that
the following categories of physical standards be utilized:
qualification Assignment
Full Duty (General) Ordinary Agency Duties in
All Geographic Areas
Full Duty (Special) Unusual Demanding Duties in
All Geographic Areas (IN, etc.)
Departmental Duties Confined to Lest. Arduous
Types in ContinentaI U . S.
2. In addition, the following recommendations are submitted:
a. All new employees should be evaluated for potential
overseas qualification, regardless of the immediate proposed
assignment indicated by the Personnel Office. It should be
the function of the Medical Office to evaluate the individual
as a physical and a psychological entity available to Agency-
wide assignment; therefore, assignment should be the responsi-
bility of the Personnel Office based upon the Medical ?'ffice's
stipulations.
b. Maximum interpretive latitude should be effected through
use of the waiver device, since this is the only means by which
necessary standardization can be reconciled with the heterogenous
demands of various field assignments.
c. Standardization of career physical qualifications should
be deferred until such time as the professional Selection Panel
has defined its objectives, and beyond that point the 'edical
Office should reserve the prerogative of reconsidering every
career candidate proposed by the Personnel Office, regardless
of the individual)s previous physical qualification.
