MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Personnel
SUBJECT : Personnel Issues Expected to iberge from PHMP 70's
Project
1. The successful launching of the R W 70's project, by succes-
sive briefings at various echelons of the Agency, has created a general
awareness of the need for concerted effort in identifying the future
direction of personnel management in the Agency. If the potential re-
salts of the project are largely realized, e.g., quality review of pro-
fessional caree4stss; intensification of personal development (geared
tune upward movement); and identification of personnel problems at
Career Service, Directorate and Agency levels, it may be assumed
hat the Director of Personnel will be looked to for increased leader-
ship in policy and program formulation.
2. In the coming months, we should seek to maintain the project's
,tum, achieved by extensive briefings of Agency officials, and try
to anticipate issues that may arise from the Agency-wide review of per-
sonnel needs in the current decade. On the assumption that mat of the
Career Services will make their Situation Reports toward the end of the
tat fiscal Year, or shortly thereafter, there remains relatively
time to identify key personnel problems and perform the necessary
2 and deliberation required for meaningful responses, when called
or advice and guidance.
3. The attached listing is my first out at some problems that I
believe we should think about in the coming months. They are not yes
eerily the most important or immediate questions confronting the Office
of Personnel in its daily operations, and some could be criticized or
rejected as difficult to resolve. Nevertheless, we must consider new
approaches If we are to become a strong, positive force in the future
personnel management of this Agency, and I believe having the time to
weigh the difference between innovative and fanciful ideas will be im-
portant to our success.
