SUBJECT: FY 1984 Staffing - Continuing Resolution Factors
1. On 6 October 1983 I spoke with (C/AG/COMP) concerning the
limitations the Agency faces in recruiting and staffing under the FY 1984
continuing resolution. Following a discussion of the factors outlined below,
it was Dave's opinion that the Agency should recruit and EOD employees for the
first three months of FY 1984 as though the Agency's FY 1984 on-duty ceiling
has been increased b . He also indicated that he would favor a
relatively even EOD rate as the prudent approach. Dave stressed, however,
that this question would seem to call for a policy determination at a level
higher than himself.
2. Dave explained that the controls placed upon the Agency were
essentially to control fund expenditures and year-end on-duty strength. In
terms of staffing levels, Dave opined that it was possible that: (1) the
Agency could possibly spend all of FY 1984 under a continuing resolution with
a year-end on-duty ceiling of II, (2) the Congress could pass an
appropriation bill incorporating only the currently known reduction of
which would result in a year-end on-duty ceiling of 0 or (3) the
D
Congress could pass an appropriation bill with a greater reduction than EJ
which would result in a year-end on-duty ceiling at some number higher than
The worst that any of these alternatives would impose on Agency
staffing would be the need to reduce later FY 1984 EODs to meet a restricted
on-duty ceiling of 0 by 30 September 1984.
3. Since there were no staffing restrictions to hold the Agency to a
particular level during the fiscal year, the only difficulty in high FY 1984
EOD levels would funding restrictions. Dave felt that these could be handled
for at least three months at a level that assumed an FY 1984 staffing increase
ofI I explained to Dave that I had developed an FY 1984 requirements
projection, based on this assumption, and agreed to send him a copy.
