25X1A 2. of the Office of Training was present
during the first part of the meeting. She had been invited. to provide
the Group feedback regarding our participation in the Trends and High-
: lights course which she had directed during the past year. She advised
that there is interest at the.DDA level that ADAlAG make a presentation
to the course and she felt for that and other reasons we would continue
to be invited to participate. She conunented that our presentations tended.
to be disorganized and lacked direction; we rambled with no conclusions.
25X1A She said that had done a very good job last time and that his
format might be use in the future. She suggested we discuss more of
our successes and failures and. that we keep it "short, simple and sexy".
We agreed. that 45 minutes is about the length of time we should spend.

Ask for their gripes and complaints on paper and. unsTtined
Billy also provided the roue with t:he collection of the "gripes and
complaints" he and had received.. That collection will be
typed .and distributed to all members of the Group. ,
4. It was agreed that the l~acancy Notice paper as finally dxafted
would be fo nvarded to the DDA.
5. It was agreed. that the 16 June 1976 redraft of the paper discussing
a "Non Profit Transportation f~ssociation" would be forwarded to the DDA.
The paper ~tiill be forwarded with. a buck slip not explaining interest
may have lessened due to the availability of gas today as opposed to the
availability of gas even a year ago.
6. lluring the past six months .AD}~IAG has discussed several topics
that have not meritted separate papers. Some of the topics were generated
by participants of the Trends and Ilighlights courses. The following
are statements regarding those topics:
Information Services directory or list to aid in locating
certain services in the Agency. ADAIAG believes the current telephone
director is sufficient for this pu2~~ose as it covers the majority of all
needs. It may be helpful to new employees at );OD to be provided a special
list of phone numbers and. room locations of activities and services that
may be of particular interest to them
Ttivo Grade Promotions has been the subject of numerous studies
throughout the years. Staying with the one grade promotion. is a conscious
management decision and is apparently intended to hold dawn the average
grade in the Agency. The decision does not rule out all possibility of
two grade promotions but it does make it necessary to specially support
and. request such promotions.
P~ianagement_Training courses are available within the Agency
under the sponsorship of OTR and t}iere are external courses also avail-
able. Individuals feeling they are :in need of this type training should
address the matter to their Career 14~anagentent Officer, Training Officer,
etc. It is also a responsibility of "I~ianagement" to monitor the needs
for this type training and tools such as the APP and PDP are available
and being used for this purpose.
Small Car Lanes have been considered as a possibility for
providing additional parking spaces within the Headquarters complex and
we have been advised by a representative of the Office of Logistics that
there would not be a saving of space sufficient to warrant the action.
ADMAG feels this idea deserves a second review expecially with the declining
interest in car pools and the apparently increasing popularity of small
cars for home to work transportation.

Car Pool Pa.sscs arc undoubt.ed:l.y being abused by some as
is the case in many "privilege" programs. ADI`}AG feels most problems with
car poo]. passes and all parking permits rests in the methods of admin-
istering the parking programs at the Office level and should be addressed
within the Offices as opposed to being a.. matter of Directorate or.,Agency
conee:rn.
Flexible Hours are currently :in operation within certain
Agency componants a.nd the Agency has stated officially its support. of
the proposed legislation on this subject.
Employee Briefings are provided to summer only emphyees
by Office Heads and it has been ehZ~ressed by some employees at many grade
levels that the summer only knows more about what is going on than many
permanent employees. There is great empathy at all levels for increased
substantive communication as to what is goring on within the "Office" and
within the Agency. This is one more as}~~ect of the suggestion made b~-
ADNUIG to the DDA in a memo dated 15 April :L976 the subject of which was
"Employee Pride in Agency Accomplis}vnent.s",
Exercise Facility in Rossl~n would create many problern_s
re location, cost and etc. This is a matter that could be better ad-
dressed. by EAA whose responsibility it, is to run and maintain the IIe d-
quarters exercise facility. f'~~~~~P~' ?'~~ ~~'~ ~~~ ~ ?f `f ~'~ ~~~Q`"~'~`~~/
