MEMORANDUM TO HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Attendance at Policy Briefings
IL
_
As previously indicated in a memorandum of April ll_, 1977, the
President has approved the conducting of briefings for new policy
executives. The U.S. Civil Service Commission, Office of Manage-
ment and Budget, and the Presidential Personnel Office have desi?=ted
a two-day program: 1) to aid the new executives to begin their
jobs with maximum understanding of current Administration polieie;,
especially as they relate to the Executive Office, Congress, anc'
the media; and 2) to make them feel a part of this Administration's
team.
The briefings are directed to the new policy executive in the
Executive Levels II-V. While we initially invited Presidential
appointees only, we want to stress that Secretarial as well as
Presidential appointees are welcome. In short, you may choose
to send any Executive Level or supergrade noncareer officia' with
substantial managerial responsibility who might benefit from thee!
programs. We urge you to communicate to your new policy execute=s
the importance of this effort and encourage them to participate
fully in the program.
The remaining sessions are scheduled for June 24 and 25; and Jul B
and 9. Please let Thomas Garcia, General Management Training Curter,
U.S. Civil Service Commission (632-5662), know which officials will
be coming on which dates.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 11, 1977
I am concerned that Presidential appointees and othu
key policy executives receive authoritative briefingr
as soon as possible on those major laws and policies
which affect the way in which they do their jobs. I:(_ us-
tratively, they need to know about budgetary and civa&_
-service laws, our policies on ethics and conflict-o`'-
interest, the privacy and freedom of information ac_.._
and similar statutes. They also need to be thoroughjv
acquainted with our policies in working with Con4res_.
and the media.
I have asked the U.S. Civil Service Commission, the
Office of Management and Budget and the Presidentias_
Personnel Office to develop a series of briefingts
for this purpose. You will soon be receiving from
the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission a scheciti e
of briefing meetings together with a request that yca
designate those individuals you wish to particip=ate :n
each session. I have asked that these meetings :)e
scheduled outside the tegular working day so than. it
will be possible to have the full participation of your
associates in this program. There is, in my judgement,
nothing more important to successful government operations
than having a well-informed leadership.
