"provisional" clearances are used only when they produce a net gain in overall
recruitment efforts. With this in mind, the Recruitment D vision has made a
careful study during the past year to determine what changes can be made in its
practices to minimize "provisional" clearances.
Results of the study indicate that, except in rare situations, secretaries
can be obtained in adequate numbers without offers of interim employment, but
most typists and clerks can be expected to continue seeking such employment un-
less they already have other jobs or will remain in school while v Ling full
clearances. Acting on this information, the Recruitment Division is instructing
field offices that secretarial applicants are not eligible for "provisionals,"
and every effort is to be made to hold down "provisionals" for typists and clerks
by (1) soliciting student applications sufficiently in advance of their gradua-
tion to allow time for investigation, and (2) giving greater attention to sources
where applicants do not require "provisional" employment.
2. POSITION AND SALARY ADMINISTRATION
Identification of Support Positions Acting on the DDCI's decision 16 Novem-
ber that all Agency "positions substantially involved with the performance of
ort-type functions will be filled from the Support Career Services," the
Salary & Wage Division is assisting Component and Career Service Heads in a sur-
vey of Agency staffing complements to identify positions affected by the new
policy. 15 January is the target date for completing the initial survey.
3. MANPOWER PLANNING AND CONTROL
DDP Surveys Availability of Clericals for Overseas Dut A recent survey
among GS- ;and 7 secretaries and clerks in DDP revealed that only 1 in 4 is
currently interested in and available for overseas duty. Most of those not
available cited family responsibilities as their reason.
ustments in Ceili Accounting Bei Studied BPAM has indicated recep-
tivity an adjustment Personnel will propose in our ceiling controls that is
designed iron out seasonal distortions. Under present accounting methods, a
replacement moves to a new component to "overlap" an incumbent is charged to
the new compone 's ceiling on arrival there. Months may elapse before the dis-
placed employee is ficially reassigned; meanwhile the host component must pro-
vide ceiling for him so. This "double burden" which reaches its apogee in early
summer falls most heavi on DDP. The temporary "advant ' from such accounting
proce ores goes to compone (p riLy in DDS) which, on balance, supply re-
placements. But it is an ill ry tage because ceiling "vacancies" thus
created cannot be used; they mus ?he held open to accommodate displaced employees
rotating back to the parent service.'
To smooth out seasonal ceiling distortions -- and alleviate an acute problem
for DDP -- Personnel will propose a simple credit and debit system that recognizes
the realities involved in cross-component rotations.' No changes will be necessary
in current transfer or strength accounting procedures. However, on 30 Vnen.e (and

of intervals if desired) ceiling control figures will be adjusted by crediting
recei components for employees on "overlap" and biti the components that
supplie hem. This arrangement, in effect, will permit the Agency to control
ceiling on Career Service as well as a component basis. Whether its adoption
will generate problems for components (such as Logistics and Finance) that
characteristica_ll apply large numbers of annual replacements is still being
studied; but it is be ved that if problems do arise they can be resolved fairly
Personnel's proposal is expe d to go to DDS and the Executive Director-
Comptroller for approval before the of December.
