SUBJECT: Non-Competitive Appointment of Agency Employees to Positions
in the Competitive Service
1. I telephoned Mr. Stan Berg at the Civil Service Commission
(101-26286) to inquire as to the status of action toward obtaining an
Executive Order.
2. Mr. Berg said he was embarrassed to answer my inquiry. He said
that he has in fact been unable to move ahead for lack of manpower in
his own unit. The one employee who will work on our proposal has been
concentrating on a similar request from AID. Stan said this was necessary
because "they asked for it first." Also -- they (AID) are "up against
losing some numbers of people." Mr. Berg indicated that there was some
more hope for action now because he has just recently filled a vacancy
which he had carried in his unit for some time. He stated that this has
been a big season for legislation and he wishes he had more staff to
handle it.
3. I told Mr. Berg that I was somewhat concerned in that the question
of such an "agreement" had come up several times in past years without
the issue being resolved. I told him I felt that it is important this
time to carry the proposal forward to completion. Stan expressed his
agreement, indicating that he, too, is concerned. He has simply been
unable to give our proposal the necessary attention due to other priorities.
4. I said I would pass this information on to D/Pers. I also asked
Stan to call on me if there is anything we can do to help move things
along. I observed that it was good at least for us to know that there is
no substantive problem thus far in connection with our proposal. Stan
confirmed this and said there is nothing we can do to assist him at this
point. He also expressed his wish to predict some timetable for progress,
but said he was unable to do so.
