MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief. _ .dministration and Training Staff
SUBJECT : Cooperative Work-Study Program
1. Please refer to the attached copy of a memorandum
from the Director of Personnel to the Deputy Director (Support),
dated 14 February 1963, subject as above.
.2. We have analyzed the plan proposed by the Director of
Personnel and considered its possible use in obtaining engineers
for the Technical Division. We are not interested in participating
in such a program as:
a. It would tie up one or more slots for some
five years=
b. Unlike TSD and Commo, the main work of the
Technical Division is at overseas locations, and it would
not be feasible to send an unqualified GS-3 or GS-4 trainee
to various foreign Stations and Bases simply to receive
on-the-job training as any contribution he could make would
be but minimal. Too, we could not condone the security
risk involved in exposing these trainees to covert overseas
installations and operations when there is no assurance that
they would remain with the.-.gency;
c. To institute a program to train these people at
Headquarters would take the greater part of the time of one
or more qualified technicians whose services would be
sorely needed in making routine inspections overseas.

d. The stated Army retention rate of 70% would
probably not be applicable to an Agency program as the
military would be in a position to use pressures connected
with the draft. We have, I believe, two engineers trained
by the military under such a program who desired a change
after receiving the training offered. Too, we have noted
applications from others who participated in the military
program.
3. In the event a surplus of engineers results from the
participation of TSl7 and Commo, as mentioned as a possibility in
pargaraph 7 of the referenced letter, an effort should be made to
obtain some of these for the Technical Division. After a short
period of indoctrination and training these would become fully
qualified to perform inspections on a world-wide
basis.
