SUBJECT Staffing of the OEEO
1. As I stated during our conversation, the TO
the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity would more
accurately reflect CSC concepts as well as the mission and
staffing needs of the OEEO if all but the appointed (DEEO
and DDEEO-FWPC) positions were redesignated as "EEO
Specialists." This change will be reflected in the final
version of the TO soon to be worked out by the Office of
Personnel, PMCD, the DDA, and approved by the DCI.
2. Pending this final version and its approval, I have
informed the DDA and the DCI on 2 December that I would
proceed to hire and fill vacant positions in the OEEO with
persons I have selected from those responding to the vacancy
notices we circulated for the positions of EEO Assistant
and EEO Specialist. My understanding with the DDA and PMCD
is that the positions"and grades of the OEEO finally worked out
by the PMCD will be no lower than the current grades of those
selected. Further, the final Office organization will provide
for "head room" to prevent the dead-ending of the members of
the OEEO Staff and provide opportunity for promotions which
may be warranted by performance and the level of responsibilities.
In any case, we would agree to a reassessment of the organization
and positions after a year or so of operation. Both the DDA
and I further agreed that the grades of the DEEO and DDEEO and
probably the Assistant to the DEEO are not negotiable and
shall remain as initially proposed. These were set by the
DCI and reflect his intent and commitment.
3. As you already know, I have selected STAT
to fill the position of EEO Assistant (now EEO Specialist).
I request that you initiate the ste-ps necessary to bring on
board STAT
andi as STAT
"EE Specialists." These latter two persons will fill the
slots previously described in the initially approved TO as
"Hispanic Program Coordinator" and "EEO Specialist."

4. My assessment of the effect that our improving
propagation in the Agency of the understanding of the
spirit and machinery of the EEO complaint mechanism indicates
a probable increase in the load of complaint cases that will
reach the "investigation" level. At the same time we are
increasing the probability of overseas investigations. It
will he a couple of months before staff members other than
are ready to function in this capacity domestically.
I-C bably be about a year before they are trained to
con overseas investigations. I intend, therefore, to
ad one)more EEO Specialist to the OEEO Staff. This Specialist
wik-have the primary duty of full-time investigator, both
'domestically and abroad. I propose to acquire the services
of F__ I the most experienced Agency EEO investigator.
She is now assigne in DDO. Should available slots or the
average employment level be prohibitive perhaps we could work
out a "TDY" assignment for
