MEMORANDUM FOR: I Chief, Regulations and Control Branch
FROM:
Assistant Legislative Counsel
Supergrade Personnel
SUBJECT: Proposed Revision of
Management of
I have discussed this proposed regulation with both George Cary,
Legislative Counsel, an his Deputy, It is our belief that CIA,
where possible, should adhere to general Government standards. I would
think that the subject of numbers of supergrade personnel would be an
area where we could follow common standards. The Office of Personnel has
informed me that the Agency has a very generous number of supergrade
positions. I feel the Agency is subject to criticism if it ranges too widely
from general standards where it is not justified, and that in the upcoming
revisions of the National Security Act and CIA Act, we could lose our
independence if we have abused it.
I recommend the consideration of adding the following phrase
after the sentence, "Such recommendations will be based on evaluated
here
position requirements" in paragraph 23. ?L. (2): " conforming w
possible to the basis for grading positions generally applicable to the
general schedule." It seems to me that this language would retain
sufficient flexibility for the Agency, while declaring our intent to
follow general standards if we can.
