MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT : Office of Personnel Report - Week Ending
23 May 1975
1. Refreshing Approach: We were pleased to receive an
information copy of a letter from Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr.
The letter was sent to an applicant on the West Coast who has been
rejected by our recruiter because he lacked the necessary qualifications.
After we rejected the applicant, he appealed to Congressman Goldwater's
office and the reply from the latter stated that Congressman Goldwater
agreed with President Ford that Federal jobs should be offered to people
on a strictly competitive basis, not because of pressure being applied
from political figures in Government? He further explained to the applicant
that he did check with CIA's Personnel Office and found out that "you did
not meet their educational requirements, and you were reluctant to relocate
in Washington, D. C. "
2. Recruiting by Other Government: Agencies: College placement
publications report that the National Security Agency expects to hire 75
electronic and 10 mechanical engineers in the next year; Atomic Energy
Commission is increasing its technical intern program and plans to hire
100 chemical, mechanical, nuclear and electrical engineers, with oppor-
tunities best for electronic, electrical and mechanical majors. Opportunities
will also be good for aerospace, civil, industrial and nuclear engineers, and
naval architects. In this regard, the Engineering Manpower Commission has
noted that freshman enrollments in engineering may be 15 percent higher this
year than last, reversing a long downward trend. The 1973 freshman class in
engineering was the smallest since 1952. This suggests that 1977 will be a
tough year indeed for recruiting engineers.
3. Handicapped Program: NPIC advises us that they have interviewed
our referral to them of a man with cerebral palsy who was sent to us by the
Maryland Rehabilitation Center. NP:[C plans to place him in a job concerned
with the running of reproduction equipment and other duties.
