use of vaea y 'notices have been favorable. the other
hand, vtevr vacancy notices as one of a number of approaches that shoald
be used to increase ability vitbin the Agency, and I share the apparer
view of the Executive Director-Comptroller that both subjects are so
?losely interrelated that they should be dealt with jointly. By doing
so, vs would avoid the burden of having to sell separate systems. ro-!-,
a 3 stification standpoint, each is supportive of the other.
To ccmbini . t s fora tion on vacancy notices with i. teriaal on

am Agency notice on this subject, and I deter to them regarding whatever
ificattions might be required.
With respect to increased aobility and rotation, the Executive

Each Career Service should annually devise its own mobi
and rotation plan and report to the Deputy Direetor concerned
'progress made. Me point here is to get them to routinely do soa':ee-
thia and have the Deputies review and post-audit their actions.
b. Provision be made for Career Service ead>a to negotiate
transfers across Career Service lines with Deputy Directors andd,
cutive Director-Comp-troller resolving controversies an re-
quired. (This is nothing unusual, but engineering a climate f'acili-
tati.n actual efforts in this direction is beAly needed, however
difficult.)
e. The Director of Personnel should provide better job coun-
seling service and be required to negotiate a change in assignment
for an eeaployeee whenever the Director of Personnel believes that
the emplayee is a potential loss or can be used more advantageously
in the Agency. (I believe the time is not yet right for the D/Fers
to uni,l.aterally, invoke actions compelling the reassignment of ins i-_
vid ,ls against the wishes of a Career Service or Career Services.
It may be that we can do this later on after first establishing a
more favorable climate for moving people across Career Service lines
than x w exists.. In any event, this subject deserves careful
separate development, that can, probably beat be rationalized in
connection with can i mployeees' Services Center.)
re to achieve, for the first time, a significantly it--
pro rax in the Agency, ve will have to attack the basic
inhibitions against it; namely, the relative autonoa of Career ^ervlees
and the skepticism in this Agency that rotation can York. We do not need
new concepts or for iatas, we need a strong statement of intent by the
Agency's senior officers and a simple requireent placed upon the Career
