"amp" or serious problem cases, which have caused diffi-

reports which, to the greatest possible degree, will
prevent the reCurrence of a siniJsw problem. We also believe there is a tenden-
cy to provide for every contiagency in draining field regulations, procedures,
and reports This latter effort menu to contribute to the delay in getting

rules, and guidance, would permit expeditious action in the field and would
greatly reduce the weber of time consuming and expensive individual cases sub-

stations marling regulations and procedures which cause difficulty because o
exammive vork burden, or complexity of detail, bave been popularly mieconstrued
as a oomplaint *spinet all regulations. In practice, the problem of field
stations are greatly reduced by having at hand the baste regulations and pro-
cedures which tell then What they can do. With spa besic material at hand, the
prpper exercise of administrative Nigment will take care of the peculiarities
of individual ewes. We strongly recommend the review and revision of
regulatory material which unnecessarily restricts expeditious action. At the

7. We believe the DO has done, end is doing, a good Job of
of its persomnel, and while the Office of Persomnel does not act in au
tattle position with regard to rotation and reansigoment, a major portion
effort is directed toward assistance to DD/P Career Service* Ann officials who
are in authority. We believe the carter repayment in DD/P, the advancement and
development of its employees, and the career opportunities which are available
here greatly contributed to the good morale of its employees and the success of
its operatiems. With this in mind we are somewbat surprised at the IC's state-
ment that key DD/0 officials hove implied clearly that the Office of Personnel
is neither equipped nor qualified to be the personnel office for the Clannestine
Services. Invever, we believe this statement may offer a valuable clue en to the
nature of complaints repwrdingFereonnel. In the context of other statements we
believe the statement referred to above must include functions of rotation and
reassisnnent. If this is so, vs believe there Should be a review of the dele
gated functions and amtborities, and the responsibilities, of the various
elements concerned with persimmon. administration.
3. The Personnel employeea assigned exclusively
heve been eepeololly chosen for their attitude, in
potential ability. We are not mare of a corplaint against a
by DD/P officials. We are *were that eupervisors' requests (cot only in )
for npgrading positions labia cannot be accommodated under Agency standards
frequently result in dissatisfaction.'However, we do not believe that respon-
sible officiels of the DD/P would vent, or permit, us to take the easy end
temporarily agreeable way of granting each request, to the ultimate ruination
of the Organisation, just to avoid criticism.
9. It is not our intent to disclaim shortcomings OT er . On the
contrary, we are aware of many areas ober* improvement is needed and Where action
has been token to effect ImprOvements. It would be most helpful if other prob-
lem asses eould be identified (including thane where there may be at
regarding authority and responsibility) in order that Appropriate action
can be taken. We believe this might be aocomplisbed by informal discussion with
the Inspector General and PD/P.
IQ. It is suggested that the DOG arrange an informal discussion h a
repreeMOtila ve of the Inspector General/ the /P, and the Office of Personnel
for the pompom., of identifying the areas and the mature of the shortcomings whiah
lead to the all inclusive indictment contained in the We report. It is ea-
pbasised that it is not our purpose at such a meeting to refute or defend.
bope to identify shortened and Ultima* corrective action.
