STANDARD FORM NO. 64 Office Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT : Chief/PPS/0TR FROM : Chief/RTP/AES/OTR -01826R001 W070013-3 DATE: 3 February 1961 suBJECT: AES Participation in a Review of Agency Clerical Usage 1. One recommendation made by the Inspector General, as a result of his survey of Agency training, is a review of "clerical usage," with a view to developing a "more effective system." This review is to be made by "the Directors of Personnel and Training together with represent- atives from operating components." 2. As you know, AES provides extensive services to the Office of Personnel in the testing of clerical applicants and new clerical employees. The testing of applicants is quite short and intended solely for rather coarse screening. The testing of clerical employees at the time of EOD is more extensive, requiring about two hours, covers a greater variety of skills than the applicant testing, and is presumably a useful tool in effecting optimum placement of clerical employees. 3. It is our understanding from the persons responsible for clerical recruitment, selection, and placement that our testing is serving its purposes well. Nevertheless, as part of the review recommended by the Inspector General it would seem very pertinent to make a more rigorous examination of how well the testing is serving its purposes and whether it could serve the purposes better. We would welcome the opportunity for such an examination and would be most interested in contributing 25X1A Approved For Release 2002/05/07 : CIA-RDP80-01826RO01100070013-3 Approved For Release 2002/05/07 : CIA-RDP80-01826RO01100070013-3 Shown-to Mr. Echols 7 Mar 61,' Agreed to delay action until DCI acted on I0&s report on training and at that point., assuming recommendation re survey of clerical usage would be approved,, to undertake as a project and invite A&E participa- tion. lv Approved For Release 2002/05/07 : CIA-RDP80-01826R001.100070013-3 Approved For Release 2002/05/07 : CIA-RDP80-01826RO01100070013-3 Ti .UNCLASSIFIED ^ INTERNAL CONF'"ENTIAL SECRET ONLY ROUTING AND RECORD SHEET C/RTB/AES/0TR Rm. 1331, R&S Bldg.
