Minority Report as of 30 June 1963
1. This memorandum submits for your information an interim report
concerning the utilization of Negro employees to supplement the statistical
data contained in referenced memorandum. A follow-up report will be sub-
mitted when the review of the cases discussed in paragraph 3 has been com-
pleted.
2. The utilization of Negro employees has been examined in three ways:
a. The Official Personnel Folders have been analyzed for all
Negro employees whose biographic profiles indicated that they pos-
sessed at least an undergraduate degree and whose grade was under
GS-9. The name, grade, position title, service designation, age,
and years of Agency service of the 40 persons in this group are
listed in the attachment.
b. A spot check was made of ten Official Personnel Folders of
Negro personnel who have been with the Agency for more than ten
years regardless of the extent of their education.
c. Conferences were held with counseling and placement officers
to obtain their estimates. These officers were of the opinion that
good utilization is being made of Negro employees and that problems
are minimal. Cases in which discrimination is alleged are referred
by the Counseling Branch to the Office of the Inspector General.
Counseling officers estimate that five or six cases have been
referred in the past two years.
3. It is our judgment that in the aggregate the first group reviewed,
i.e., Negro personnel with at least an undergraduate degree, comprise a
group of competent employees whose qualifications are being satisfactorily
utilized. This review showed that opportunities are afforded these
employees for Agency training and that reassignments for career progres-
sion are effected when warranted. There are several instances in which
more advanced training has been recommended by the supervisor. However,
there were seven files in this group that suggested that the individuals
concerned had not advanced proportionately to their educational attainment,
age, and length of service. These cases, indicated by double asterisks
(**) on the attached list, have been referred to supervisory and placement
officers for further study and a report.
4. The spot check of the second group of Negro employees, i.e., those
with more than ten years of service regardless of grade, did not reveal

any case in which, in our judgment, the qualifications of the individual
are not being satisfactorily utilized.
5. Except for the seven cases noted in paragraph 3 above, our review
indicates that Negro employees are being utilized in positions commensurate
with their individual qualifications. We will submit a further report on
the seven individuals whose formal records raise questions regarding their
utilization and advancement.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (support)
SUBJECT : Minority Report As Of 30 June 1963
1. In response to your request, information is presented in Tabs A,
B, C, and D regarding employment of minority groups in the Agency:
Minority Group Employment Report - Agency - 30 June 63 (TAB A)
This report presents on an Agency-wide basis the employment of minority
groups in accordance with pay category, (i.e., Classification Act, Wage
Board, and other pay plans). The format used is comparable to that pre-
scribed by the Civil Service Commission for the Annual Report requested from
all other agencies for the President's Committee on Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity. A comparison with the same report made last year shows that the
number of negro employees in the Agency increased from 61.6 to 744 or 12%
between 30 June 1962 and 30 June 1963 while the number of negro employees
grade GS-7 and above increased from 73 to 120 or 6L.% during the same period.
Nero On Duty Strength (Percent & Number) - B Extent of Education -
By Grade As Of 30 June 63 - Agency DCI DD I DD/S, DD /P Groups) (TAB B)
Under this Tab, the negro population of the Agency is distributed over
nine levels of educational achievement ranging from "Less Than High School
Graduate" to the possession of a "Doctor's Degree." The alignment of extent
of formal education to GS grade indicates that, in all directorates, utiliza-
tion is being effected at grades generally commensurate with the extent of
education. In 1955, 7.7% of all negro employees in GS positions were at
grade GS-7 or higher. This percentage increased to 22% by 1963.
Staff Personnel On Duty Strength - B Race - B Sex - By Agency Components

personnel by race and sex.
Percent Of On Dut Strength - enc - By Agency Components - By Race

C and D, with information presented in a similar manner several years ago
