Personnel Holdinr, and TrMninn: Pool. Problems of roralo in the unclassified training and holding pools are all centered in the pool under the jurisdiction of the Personnel Division. The Personnel Division is aware of the problens in this pool and initiated in Novenber 1951 a survey which resulted in findin::s and recomendations sub? ratted approximately 15.Deceuber to hr. roloon? Goneral Davisents deputy. This survey vas a thorough and thoughtful piece of Tork. All of its findings aro justified. Specific reco-litendations have been rade to solve the probicLis disclosed by the survey, and, within certain litthatiens discussed below, substantially all the romlInndations are al.),:reved. It is unreasonable to c'...c.eot these receenda.tions to have been carried out only three weeks after they were made, particularly 1.4-len ten days of this period coveted the long holiday ween-,unds. The principal liJiitltione of the survey are the inadequate consideration of tht.: probleAs raised by the presence in the pool of a substantial number of covert and temicovert eoloyees of_zrades iron GC-7 and up. A paper on this problem is being prepared, however, by the covert offices who have discussed the problon with the Trainin..,; and Security Divisions. As these recom-iendations are alh.03t ready, I will reserve my on rcery;..rendations until I sec this paper. There 18 also a substantial group of co=o employees Awaiting clearance in this pool but there is no problem with them because they are now fully occupied in practice and training mph.
