P J E1ARNCE Action Memorandum t\.-)r-3G dated 23 January Ly65
1. This memorandum contains a recommendation for your approval in
paragraph 6.
2. Action Memorandum A-436 states there shall be nu upgradin;;s until
an appropriate monetary and grade control system is established. In view
of the stringent average salary controls that have been levied on the
Agency, it is necessary to maintain a very prudent approach to the Agency's
grade structure and any changes thereto.
3. Upgrading of posi.tiu;rs is but one of several ways in which the
average grade level may he rMsod. Others arc: cs Lahlishrrrunt of a new
position above the average grade, deletion of a position below the average
grade, simultaneous establishment and deletion of positions at d_ifL'er?ent
grade levels, and overall reorganization of a component.
4. It is undesirable, however, to deny for any length of tian all
adjustments of individual position grades or otherwise approved and neces-
sary organizational changes. We propose therefore that, at least an long
as the current average grade and salary restrictions are in force,
the following guides apply:
U. Individual position upgradings be made only when compensating
downgradings on an equivalent grade-for-grade basis are made.
b. New positions be established only with corresponding deletions
of positions of equal or higher grade.
C. Addition of new positions without corresponding deletions
must be at the average grade and salary level or below.
d. Overall reorganizations must be accomplished within the
existing average grade and salary level.
e. There shall be no increase in the total nurnbcr of po;_ ions
at GS-fir and above, including supergrades and Scientific Pay Eichedule
positions.
