MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM : F. W. M. Janney
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT Supergrade PRA Promotions
REFERENCE . Your memo; subject: Supergrade Promotions;
dated 7 July 1976
1. In paragraph 3 of referent memorandum, you directed that I
challenge those supergrade promotions which would result in a Personal.
Rank Assignment; that we obtain justification and rationale for each
of the recommendations; and that there be a clear plan for the
eventual assignment within two years of each of the individuals
to positions equivalent to the rank involved.
2. Attached are new recommendations for each of the individuals
concerned in response to the requirements levied on the components
involved. We have carefully reviewed each recommendation, and I
believe that the justification and rationale submitted warrants
your approval. The planned future assignments of the individuals
concerned suggest that we should have only temporary PRA situations
for this group of officers.
3. Accordingly, I recommend that you approve these recommendations.
4. I might add that we have found this additional step in our
supergrade promotion exercise both useful and productive. In the
future we will ensure that adequate justification is initially
submitted for any proposed recommendations involving a PRA.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Personnel
SUBJECT : Supergrade Promotions
1. I am returning herewith your memorandum of
29 June 1976 concerning supergrade and Scientific Pay
Scale promotion recommendations. I have approved your
recommendation in 4.a. and most of 4.b. as well.
2. In the future, promotion recommendations in these
categories are to be addressed directly to me and prepared
for my approval or disapproval as DDCI.
3. Among the envelopes attached is envelope (A) which
contains individual recommendations I have approved.
Envelope (B) involves recommendations for grgmotions. in
circumstances which would involve PRA arrangements. ~I ask
that you challenge these proposals. We need-justification
and rationale for each of the recommendations. There, of
course, should be a rather clear plan for the eventual
assignment of each of these individuals in positions equi-
valent to the rank involved.
4. Envelope (C) involves two recommendations that I am
not now prepared to approve or disapprove. Each should be
returned to the Career Service involved with no prejudice
attached to this action.
