MENJRANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
1. The attached Annual Personnel Plan (APP) contains two parts:
a plans section and a reports section. The former concentrates upon
the formulation of numerical targets that reflect desired program levels.
It also has a few key questions, designed to facilitate review of the
APP of each Career. Service by the Deputy Director concerned. The re-
ports section is restricted to a limited number of one-page, analytical
reports covering topics that should be considered at the same time progress
on APP is discussed in order to accomplish an overall management review.
Reports are confined to issues of management concern that are not easily
subjected to a planning approach.
2. Other basic characteristics of the APP draft are the following:
a. It is oriented toward the measurement of managerial and
program effectiveness. The actions and data elicited by APP
should be comparable with and contribute to other Agency pro-
grams (present and future) seeking more effective management,
e.g., Program Call administration, management by objectives,
and productivity measurements.
b. It can be used, also, by divisions and other lower
organizational units in planning their annual personnel
activities.
c. As both a planning and review mechanism, it is a system
for preventive and corrective personnel management.
3. Background data, in available machine runs, will be given to
the Career Services to help them prepare the first APP for FY 1974. We
intend to seek, with your assistance if needed, a computer-produced data
base for future use by Career Service Heads in doing the planning required
to complete APP. Once this assistance is available, their efforts could
be largely directed to developing projections and establishing goals.
I+. We kept the APP format as simple as we could in order to make
the work burden as easy and acceptable as possible. We hope that Career
Service Heads will be able to visualize the advantages of having an APP
prepared within their areas (with computer help) that would enable them

personally to do a better job of personnel managing -- influencing
events and avoiding personnel problems.
5. After gaining some actual experience with APP, it should be
possible to install an Agency-wide evaluation system entailing periodic
checks on progress achieved in meeting recognized objectives, pursuant
to planned goals and standards.
6. Before proceeding to finalize APP, I would appreciate your
review of the attached draft and your comments whether or not it is
responsive to your desires.
