A. With regard to the proposal to raise the T/O of the
Junior Officer Training Program from- it was agreed that
the JOT program was fuiftuing a highly essential need in the
Agency and would be supported in all possible ways. It was agreed,
however, that to raise the T/O by such a large increment at this
time was not desirable . As recruitment progresses and as slots
become obligated the T/O should be gradually increased to provide
room for expansion of the program. It was agreed that the Office
of Training, the Office of Personnel and the Office of the Deputy
Director (Administration) would prepare a staff study that would
put these principles into effect.
5. The proposed regulation "Employee Welfare Fund" was
distributed for reference in connection with Mr. Kir Patrick s re-
asks on Welf are Funds. After considerable discussion of the various
ways in which this ratter could be handled it was agreed that such a
?ogulation should not be issued. Controls, authorities and procedures
necessary to the handling of Welfare Funds should berestablished shr
than
staff study or memo anda approved by compeUzt
by regulatory issuances. A brief notice on Financial Assistance for
issuance to all employees should be prepared by the Office of Personnel
in conjunction with the General Counsel and returned to the Career:
Council for approval, It was agreed that the two funds, representing
an the one hand Government Services, Lie, money and on the other hared
cozvributiCns to the specialized organized corporation of friends of
'the Agency, would not be commingled. It was felt that the Credit
Daion was the proper organization to make small loans to needful
aFloyeea. It was agreed that the Career Council itself would serve
