1. Attached herewith is a DD/A Advisory Group memo of 28 March 1974,
which suggested that consideration be given to publicizing promotion and
QSI lists within this Directorate in order to recognize employees' achieve-
ments.

SUBJECT Publicizing Promotions and QSI's
2. On 22 April 1974, the Office of Personnel stated that they have
been doing this on promotions and they feel it is also a good idea for
QSI's. They hold it to-the GS-8 and above on the theory that there are too

3. This issue came up for discussion when you met with AAG on September,
and there was some su estion that it might be covered during the D/A Manage-
ment Conference at ~? It obviousl;r did not get on the agenda, but
there was an interesting related discussion o:n the pros and cons of letting
"comers" know whether they are listed on ?the PDP.
4. At this point our monthly meeting with Office Directors is scheduled
for 25 October, and it is anticipated that you will meet with AAG on 31 October.
Possibly you will want to raise the issue at the monthly meeting and get some
expression of views from the Office Directors? Otherwise, if you wish, I could
float the suggestion with a suspense, and a.sk for comments.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director far Management and Services
SUBJECT Publicizing of Promotions and QSI's
1. The MSAG has been asked "Why prorr.otions and QSI's are
whispering campaigns in most of the Agency?" We are aware that
several. of the DD/M&S offices publish promotion lists and believe
this policy should be consistent throughout the Directorate.
People are motivated by seeing their name in print and being
complimented by their fellow workers for their accomplishments.
Publication of promotion lists will a,.1so elimi_r_ate the embarrass-
ment caused same employees by the "ru:mox mi11" when congratulations
are extended to an employee who has not been promoted. Some
employees may not wish to have their promotions publicized, but
since a.nyone's grade can be established through several channels
in the Agency, this does not seem to be a valid complaint.
2. Based on the above, MSAG suggests that consideration.
be given to publishing promotior_ and QSI lists within the DDMa~S,
which we feel is in keeping with the Agency's general desire
to recognize employee's achievements.
