MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
erector o Security
SUBJECT: Post-Mortem Review of Proven Failure Cases
1. As part of the recent tasking on Phase IV Long-Range
Plan action items, this Office was directed to consider the
organizational implications as well as the potential for
improving the efficiency, effectiveness and timeliness of support
to the Agency's mission. In that regard, I believe that those
offices primarily engaged in applicant selection processing could
gain valuable insight into the effectiveness of their respective
programs through a collegial review of cases where an employee
has been forced to resign for security, medical or personnel
reasons. Currently, there is no formal apparatus dedicated to
conducting post-mortem reviews and evaluating the resultant
data which may well serve to validate or invalidate current
procedures.
2. I also believe that there are more than enough proven
failure cases to occupy the time and justify the efforts of such
a body. From January 1982 through 1 June 1983, there have been a STAT
total of cases presented to the Personnel Evaluation Board.
In calen ar year 1982 there were= employees terminated on STAT
security grounds and" more have been terminated in calendar STAT
year 1983. These nu
s are not insignificant, and I believe
the time is now to begin a post-mortem program to see what
lessons may be learned from the past and how we may improve in
the future. With your approval, I will contact the Directors of
Personnel and Medical Services, and solicit their cooperation in
instituting this endeavor.
