. Car pa Locator Optem
We have recently followed up with Logistics on their progress in
obtaining the equipment for our car pool locator system. We were advised that

and the system Should be ready for installation at an early date.

3. Exnhansp of Career Officers with State Department
have been in touch with Mr. Welker at State Department concerning
the proposal for exchange on a tour-of-duty heals of career officers between
our service and the Foreign Service and we have also discussed this program
with We learned that Sherman Kent has been in touch with
Department officials regarding one facet of this program for some time,
an exchange between ONE and Policy Pleneing Staff at State. He advisee that
it has been agreed to defer further discussions until 1 July due to lack of
candidates and space problems at State. The Deputy Director of Personnel will
be in direct liaison with the Chief of Assignments in the Department to
develop the program further.
4. Accurate DeOspatien Of Plaiition Titles on Personnel Actions
For some years the Agency has followed the praitiee of shoving the
official jela title on personnel actions to describe both the position held
and the incumbent's occupational title. In most cases this presents no
problem; however, there are a significant number of assignments "for slotting
purposes' and this practice leads to a misleading assignment record on later
review of an individeel's official personnel file. We are working on procedures
which will permit us to identify the slot accurately in our records system
but will also reflect the incuMbent's correct occupational designation.
5. Hazardous Duty Pay
We have obtained a copy of the House Committee report on H.R. 1159
which would authorize hazardous duty per in special situations. This Bill
has been passed by the House and referred to the Senate. (A. similar Bill was
also passed by the House in the last session but not acted on in the Senate
and we do not have a good prediction as to its chances of passage in this
liession.) This proposal assumes that hazard which is a normal part of an

individual's position will be recognized in the classification of hie position.
Accordingly, the Bill provides for premium pay only in those situations where
an employee is temporarily exposed to hazardous conditions. Responsibility
for developing standards of administration will rest with the Civil Service
Commission. We have learned through informal inquiry that the Commission has
no specific proposal under consideration in this connection at this time. We
will continue to follow up on the progress of this Bill to ensure that adequate
provision is made for Agency personnel who might qualify for hazardous duty
