TENTH ANNUAL AWARD TO OUTSTANDING FEDERAL EMPLOYEES Announcement for 1959 Awards The Foundation was established in 1950, in honor of William Ashby Jump, a distinguished career public servant and a pioneering leader in the improve- ment of governmental administration. At Mr. Jump's untimely death in January 1949, after 42 years of government service--27 years as Budget Officer and Director of Finance for the Department of Agriculture--he left a heritage in the ideals he fostered and a challenge in the memory of his devotion to democratic public service. The William A. Jump Memorial Award is presented annually in recognition of outstanding service in the field of public administration, and for notable contributions in this field to the efficiency and quality of the public service. It will give special recognition and encouragement for sustained interest, growth, and development in the field of public administration. Such public recognition should be an incentive to young people for increased interest and high level performance in this field, and will add quality and integrity to the public service. The award includes a gold key and certificate of merit. One such award is made each year unless unusual situations, such as especially meritorious candidates, make it desirable to make more than one such award. In order that wider recognition and encouragement may be given to exemplary achievements in public administration, and especially to the younger group of administrative personnel who indicate greet potential as future executive leaders in the field of public administration, the Foundation will grant, in addition to the principal award, not to exceed three honorable mention awards each year. This award will be a special honorary certificate and citation. A special recognition certificate will be given to all other nominees for the award who, in the judgment of the Awards Committee, meet the qualifications prescribed by the Foundation. AU ",ploy" of the Federal Government who is not over 36 years of age, aa_of December 31, 1958, and whose performance over a considerable period of time demonstrates unusual competence and interest in public adminis-111 tration,.,endowment for leadership- ,.creative thinking.. and,close.adherence to the basic principles of enlightened public service, as generally described above, shall be eligible to compete for the 1959 Award. A "William A. Jump Memorial Award Committee" is named annually by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees to make the final decision of the individual, or individuals, to receive the award. Approved For Release 2007/02/16: CIA-RDP80B01676R003200200018-8 All Federal agencies (Executive, Judicial, Legislative) are invited to nominate candidates for the award. In order to facilitate the selection of a candidate it is suggested that each agency establish such internal procedures as may be appropriate and effective. One candidate only may be nominated by each department and agency. It is suggested that this announcement be given wide circulation at every level of organisation in order that there will be the widest possible opportunity for participation and to assure the selection of the most deserving candidates. The recommendation should give full particulars concerning the nominee, as follows: 1. Name and address. 2. Bureau and department or agency. 3. Date of birth. 4. Salary, grade and title of present position. 5. Resume' of employment experience and educational background. 6. Statement of past and present work performance, including evidence of progressive development or specific accomplishments, personal qualities for leadership, and other factors indicated. above under "Awards" and "Eligibility" that warrant nomination for the award. The recommendation should be signed by the head of the department or agency or other responsible official. In addition to the information requested above, the Award Committee may, to the extent deemed nedessary, personally interview the candidates or if they are located outside of Washington, the Committee may make special arrangements for interviews at the candidates' field stations. All nominations to be eligible for the 1959 Award suet be received no later than February 2, 1959. The Foundation recommends that department and agency nominations for the award be given wide recognition in appropriate agency publications and otherwise for their achievements and exceptional services. We believe such action would help to stimulate active interest in fostering a more effective public service. The award will be presented in May or June 1959 at the time of the annual Department of Agriculture Honor Awards Ceremony, or at such other time or place as the Board of Trustees may determine to be appropriate.

The CIA Career Council discussed at its meeting on 23 July 1958 the need for a uniform Overtime Compensation policy in the Agency and agreed that a system of identifying persons in particular categories relative to eligibility for overtime compensation should be established. 2. Subsequent to the dispatch of referenced memorandums, I met with representatives of your Career Service to discuss special problems involved in granting or denying payments for overtime to persons in your Service. 3. I have come to the conclusion that probably the most feasible way of identifying individuals or groups of individuals who will or will not receive overtime compensation is to establish a grade level as the basic cutoff point. This Ls with the understanding that Heads of Career Services will identify by name, members of their respective Services who should be considered as exceptsons because of the nature of their work or particular circumstances involved. 4+. Attached is a proposed statement which I believe would be accept- able as an Agency overtime policy and would also be relatively easy to administer. However, prior to proposing a policy to the Career Council, I wish to determine wh:.ch persons in each of the Career Services would be identified as exceptions in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 4 of the attached policy statement if such a statement were to be implemented today. 5. Please forrnird to Mr. before 1 December a list of25X1 the people in your Career Service and their present jobs who would be identified in accordance with the attached policy statement; e.g. (a) the persons in grades GS-11 and above who would be authorized to receive overtime pay and (b) the persons in grades GS-10 and below who would not be authorized to receive overtime pay.

Persons in grades GS-10 and below may be directed by appro- 25X1 prate supervisory authority to work overtime and to receive either overtime pay or compensatory time off according to Regulation No. 0. Exceptions to this policy are noted in paragraph 2 below. 2. A person in grade GS-10 or below may be identified by the Head of his Career Service as a career trainee who will not be directed to work overtime and receive overtime pay. 3. Persons in ,grades GS-11 and above will not be directed to work overtime and will therefore not receive overtime pay. Exceptions to this policy are noted in paragraph 4 below. 4. A person in grade GS-11 or above may be identified by the Head of his Career Service as one who may be directed to work overtime and receive overtime pay providing that the normal duties of the individual involve special circumstances and conditions which make it necessary for him to work more than the 40-hour week regularly or with recurring frequency. 5. The identification of persons in paragraphs 2 and 4 will be made by the Heads of Career Services., approved personally by the Deputy Director concerned,, and reviewed by the Director of Personnel. They will be docu- mented in Personnel Actions (Form 1150). The identification will be valid only while the person concerned is in the same grade and same position as he was at the time of identification. A promotion or transfer to another position will automatically cause the identification to be reviewed. 6. The administration of compensatory time off at Headquarters and in the field will continue essentially as it is at present.
