Approved For Release 2002/08/28 : W, MINUTES DD/S STAFF MEETING 3 September 1968 - 1030 Hours 2. 1968 Fund Drive spoke about the 1968 Fund Drive which will take place 19 September - 17 October. He noted that the Combined Federal Campaign goal is 11.7% greater than last year's; the Agency goal is higher by the same proportion. Our drive will also encompass the Public Service Aid Society and the Education Aid Fund. This year we will be seeking more funds for EAF and a separate Employee Bulletin will be published on this subject. The requirement for scholarship fund money continues to grow and we fall well short each year of being able to meet all of the requests made. It was also noted that there are six full tuition scholarship grants each year to MIT under a separately funded program outside of EAF. Mr. Meloon commented that in establishing quotas, consideration should be given to the fact that Rosslyn employees must pay parking fees. 3. Survey by Mr. Bross Mr. Bannerman said that there is a possibility that Mr. Bross may be temporarily detached from his present assignment to conduct a survey within the Agency. He plans to meet with Mr. Bross on 4 September. 4. Candidates for the Midcareer Program Mr. Bannerman noted that of the 13 recent candidates from Support offices, seven have no college degree. While job success depends a great deal on the individual, he feels that the man with a college education has a better chance of success. Office Heads were asked to take a good hard look at where individuals may expect to be several years in the future when the occasion arises to consider candidates for advanced training courses.

Workload Mr. Bannerman commented that with Congress back in session, and people returning from vacations, we can expect the pace of activity to step up. He noted that a number of surveys and projects are now underway, and said that the space survey prepared by the Office of Logistics had been read by higher authQ rity. 6.

Mr. Richardson: The Training Selection Board met to consider nominations for the Federal Executive Institute. During this process Colonel White commented that nominees should normally be no older than 50 years (the same comment applies to the Advanced Management Program at Harvard); the grade level of nominees should be about GS-16, and he prefers that nominees be engaged in interaction with outside agencies. Personnel engaged solely in internal activities should be of less interest for these courses. Eight nominations are in hand for the September NIS . f. Mr. Bush: The 1 September tax increase for the District of Columbia will have no effect on the payroll. The Office of PPB has received a set of questions from the Bureau of the Budget.
