We returned the paper to Personnel and they have sent it back to us without changing either of these passages. Having no strong feeling about either, I recommend that you initial and forward to the Executive Director.

I suggest that you spell out the activities of the Placement Branch and clearly indicate your capability in handling the outplacement program. As 1 recall, the inspector General's report questioned the size of the Placement Branch as being in excess of its requirements. Please consider this aspen in your preparation of a reply. Further. your judgment on the volume of outplacement actions would be pcr- tincut, and particularly whether you feel Action Memorandum No. A-410 of 27 July 1964 will appreciably increase the volume of actions.

Although the reference contains considerable data and figures on Placement Activities, I am still not convinced that the Agency is supporting a Placement Program that is fully capable of meeting the challenge t it will shortly be facing. Action Memo No. A-410, which I signed on*"3uiy 1964, calls for a greater reduction in on-duty strength levels. If we are effectively to accomplish this and maintain our strength levels through sound management procedures, it is essential that we have a first-rate placement program. This means that we must be able to offer all the help possible to each individual who is leaving the Agency for whatever reason. 2. The type of action (the survey hart the Chief of Operational Services is undertaking strikes me as very constructive because it will lead to placement actions that will meet some of our unique requirements. This is the type of action I have in mind. 3. 1 do not feel that paragraph 4 of Action Memorandum A-367 has been adequately answered. Please let me know precisely what the charter of the Placement Branch is and precisely what services the Placement Branch is prepared to offer the various categories of departing personnel. How does this program measure up to the one SUSPENSE DATE: P" M C) R A .25X1 I) M Approved For Release p, IQW0780R000600120003-2 Approved For Release 2002/11/15 : CIA-RDP84-00780R000600120003-2 conducted by the Department of State ? Basically, I wish to know is we are really preparing ourselves to give the type of placement service that our management policies call for. In addition please let me have your recommendations on how we can more effectively approach the various problems of placement. 4. This memorandum is in i way intended to find fault with the present activity of the Placement Branch. What I am questioning is whether the Office of Personnel and Agency management is setting its sights sufficiently high in regard to a placement programs.

The ceiling table at the present time is and by 30 June 1965 the Agency must reduce to 25X1 This represents a reduction in strength of onlyIositions during e 25X9 remainder of this Fiscal Year which, in my opinion, will easily be met by normal attrition. I see no mass exodus. The further ceilin limitation for Fiscal Year 1966, to be accomplished by 30 June 1966, is which 25X1 represents a further reduction of onlv0positions. I feel that t is can be 25X9 absorbed by normal .attrition, all other requirement factors remaining equal. On top of this, the action alone within the DD/S in the printing service-type functions on a contract basis will be a significant step in meeting the ceiling reductions. Paragraph 2.c. of Kirk's Action Memo A-410, "Substandard Performance, " will generate some action but this will be limited and these are cases that are hand-tailored all the way. My analysis of this may be faulty, but I feel that we are being asked to make reports or render studies of what I consider to be a faulty premise, namely, a stepped-up outplacement program. I think judgment from the Office of Personnel in this matter might clarify the air and perhaps elimi- nate some memoranda trying to answer a possibly unanswerable question. 25X1 Attachments: As Stated tlRQG4' f Waded from autdmatc downgrading and d^i:r;lr1,: Approved For Release 2002/11/15 : CIA-RDP84-00780R000600120003-2 R T Approved For Release 2002/1171:5 CIA-RDP84-0078OR000600120003-2 XEMOPAX= 'OR Executive Dire tur ortl3trc l?r 9 8 MAY Duty Otz' t-.)r or ct port /C/ -V the enc Qutpl e z t Pro. 1.

I would like to review at this time our placement capabilities and procedures since I foresee the growing importance of this Program. as we execute our separation procedures more effectively. Also we should be fully prepared for the time when our Early Retirement Legis- lation is enacted into law. 2. In particular I wish to make certain that we will be able to handle quickly and effectively the cases of all individuals who will require this assistance. I would like to know how many individuals are assigned full time to the Placement Branch, how many cases the Branch currently handles each month, how many additional cases it could bandle without increased personnel and how effective the Branch has been in placing our people in various types of jobs. In particular what is the record of the Placement Branch in finding jobs for individuals who left the Agency in the 701 Program? M E M N 3. A point that should receive special attention in your response J) is the extent to which the Placement Branch seeks, and receives, the assistance of various Agency offices having contacts with potential 1J employers; such offices might be OO/Contact Division, 1% A ?5X1 25X1 tc.

By following a practice of complete honesty and objectivity, various employers will, over a period of time, come to welcome the oppor r tunity to review our candidates. Once Early Retirement Legislation is enacted, there will be a considerable increase of men and women leaving the Agency who will have considerable attraction for various commercial firms, government agencies, and educational and *the- institutions. 4. Since the Agency placement effort will be an mere important one, I believe we should make certain that our placement program will be equal to the job. Please advise rues of any suggestions you have on how our separation program can be improved and of any special problems encountered. I would like to receive your comments and suggestions by 13 May.

This memorandum is for information only. 2. During the briefing of yourself and your staff on the activ- ities of Personnel Operations Division, you asked me to provide some figures on the activities of the Outplacement Branch. 3. Attached are copies of reports prepared to show the activities for fiscal year 163 and the first half of fiscal '64+. In that 18-month period, uccessful placements were accomplished. It should be noted that many o the self-referral clients (as in the "701" exercise) know in advance that they will become management referrals; hence, though they might have become an official referral, the fact that they jumped the gun gets them recorded as self-referrals. Our statistics do not specifically identify the number of such cases unfortunately. 4+. It is also worth noting that the Outplacement Branch furnished reference support and examination answering service dditional Agency employees who found employment in other Fede ties during the past 18 months. These are people who are not assisted by Outplacement and on whose cases some action had to be taken--often for cover reasons.
