SUBJECT : Management Problems, Successes and Experiences
suggest this be answered in general terms only.
Problems are generally those of others youth,
communications, personnel and dollar constraints. We have no brilliant
solutions. There are problems unique to this Agency, of course. But
we also have some unusual authorities with which we can solve some of
them.

six questions by 12 February, the purpose being that

FROM: Warren F. Brecht, Acting Chairman //_~ %J
SUBJECT: Facilitating the Exchange of E~coer; ence Among
E_xecutive Officers Group embers
The Steering Committee of the Executive Officers Group, at a
recent meeting, discussed the opportunities we have to play e
greater role in facilitating the exchange of experience among our
members. One potentially important -ay is through EOG members and
their staffs providing direct assistance and advice to other ECG
members on specific administrative management problems. I believe
the availability of such assistance can be particularly helpful to
those of us who are relative new,,-comers. to the Federal Goverment or
at least are relatively new in our present positions.
Such in~.-erchar;Ee? of inf'o'_m3 ,.-15on an'll ideas, of course, has been
possible on an informal basis in the past and has been an is o, taint
feature of the Annual Spring; Conference. What we hone to do now is
to establish a more systematic rnecans of bringing the parties togethe~?.
To this end tre ask that you take thetii~e to respond to the
following questions:
1. What management problems are you ha 'v-ing difficulty coping
with, or thi_ } pc--z' .' p s c'.11 resol'. '_ in a is Le way sI an
at present? (You should particularly spell cat those
problems you believe some of your fellow EO members may
also have.)
2. What particular man_a;ementsuccesses do you wish to con-.ve-,j
to others?
3. What management e._eriences might you have do- - differe_.Ztly?
Are you willing to ,hare the "lessors learned 4?P.tn s?
1 . What major rr__ n :.gE moat problems o_~ sohati oils do you be!-
are `ruflic1.?.e" to egen,'y: (It :LS Si -v is ^.' h' Of e
situations we may consider unique are really com..rron to
a_1other agency. )

Your responses to these questions need not be long; they may be
answered with a topical outline only.
Based. on our compilation of your responses, we will then attempt
to bring together those members seeking help and those members who
may be able to offer help on specific problem areas. In other words,
we will serve as a broker or clearinghouse.
Hopefully this project will produce other benefits as well.
For example, the re sults off this survey should be usefal-in pr par n
for the discussions at ous__..Anlnval Sprirgonference at Charlottesville
in April.
So that IT-- can move ahead on this project, I would appreciate
your responding by February 12. The potential value of this exercise
will depend to a large e:_tent, on the care and quality of your response
