NOTE: Acting Deputy Director for Administration
Subject: Recommendation for Accomplishment Award
1. You asked my opinion, so here it is;

a. I question the philosophy of granting cash
awards to senior management personnel (such as Jim
for doing their jobs. I think that initi-
at ves, creative ideas, and improvements in operating
procedures should be expected of such people. That's
one of the reasons people with leadership ability and
management responsibility are paid higher salaries.
b. I feel that ODP personnel who worked on
GAS deserve as much recognition for its success as
their Office of Finance teammates. (Again, though
I exclude senior component managers such as
I believe our co-project leader
STATINTL
STATINTL
deserves as much recognition as the OF co-project
leader, should be STATINTL
recognized along with if STATINTL
the proposed awards are approved without some similar
recognition of the ODP contribution, I'm sure it will
have some adverse morale impact in ODP.
co There are some minor inaccuracies in the
writeups and they tend to emphasize the OF role and
down-play the ODP role.
d. ODP and OF have already recommended Cer-
tificates of Distinction and Merit for all the people
involved in GAS, which is appropriate recognition, in
my opinion. These were recommended in an OF/ODP joint
action and approved on 13 October 1977.
2. My recommendations are as follows:

a. Disapprove the recommended cash awards.
b. However, if you approve the recommended awards,
I would like to be allowed to prepare similar recom-
mendations for STATINTL
3. Finally, if these are approved, I believe I should
submit similar recommendations for other ODP project personnel
who have developed or are developing significant new systems
such as TADS, CMMS, and PERSIGN. I believe this would be
desirable to ensure similar recognition for comparable
accomplishment.
