Returned herewith your memo-
randum on the grievance claim of
with a copy of
our precis o? 1 e 0GC opinion
relative to the CSC requirement
for promotion to grade of position
occupied if assignments exceeds
120 days. While the subject is
not the exact point brought up by
Mr.~ the rationale is
applicable. The 0GC opinion on
which the precis is based is OCC
76-6048.
To repeat my comment on the
authority for a promotion freeze
. . . . our regulations do not
address promotion freeze, nor as
far as I know, do the CSC rules.
There is no authority, however, to
promote without appropriate and
available headroom. The lack of
headroom, I believe, is the current
problem in the DDO at the GS-07
level, ergo, a freeze on promotions.
For that matter, there is no
requirement in Agency regulations
that promotions be effected; it is;.
RPREMEM EEO
Officer
3C-43, Hqs.
a management decision (now panels!
based on competitive evaluation.
The Agency is exempt from the
Federal Classification Act and,
CSC rules which flow from that.;:
The Director's authority. for
personnel management is in the CIA
Act (Section 8(a),) and where we
follow CSC rules for the manage-
ment of our GS personnel, it is a
matter of selection, elction or
option. We are bound only by our
own law and re ations (and
common sense) in this area.
