(Internal Policy recognizes organizational levels which create
ceilings for the secretarial positions. An employee of a lesser grade
could be assigned to the position, but not one with a higher grade than
the ceiling allows.)

(The Deputy Under Secretary level can be compared with the Agency
DO level. With that as a starting point, the Assistant Secretary level
equates to the deputy DD level, Deputy Assistant Secretary to Office
level, Office Director to Group level, and Division Chief to Branch level.
The grades of secretarial positions are directly comparable.)

(Foreign Service secretarial grades depend not only on the level
of the supervisor, but also the class of the mission. Some would insist
that the Chief of Station is on the same level as the Chief of Mission
and therefore the secretarial grade should equate to that of the
Ambassador's secretary. Others, however, recognize that the Ambassador's
position is of somewhat broader scope than that of the COS, and would
equate the position with that of the Section Chiefs. At this latter
level, Agency secretarial grades are again for the most part comparable.)
COMPARISONS WITH PRIVATE INDUSTRY
Though the attached figures are somewhat dated (1 August 1973), the
relationships are still valid in a comparison of weighted averages of
clerical salaries with GS- equivalents in the Washington, D.C. area.
Private salary information was derived from figures published by the
Executive Compensation Service, AMACOM, a division of the American
Management Association. GS grades were assigned to Agency positions
with descriptions similar to those in the AMACOM report. Agency secre-
tarial salaries are equivalent to the private industry salaries in all
cases, though not necessarily at the step one salary of the grade ranges.
