Dear M~.-Price:
SEP - 2 1987
This letter is a follow-up to what I think was a very
productive meeting we had with you,
meeting. It went a long way toward sharpening our
understanding of your proposed pay, personnel management,
and compensation system. I hope that the reactions we gave
you and your associates, as well as the discussions you had
with Deputy Director Colvard, will assist in further
refining your proposal.
As you probably gathered from our reaction at the meeting,
we're excited about many of the innovations you propose, and
although we realize some of them may be changed as a result
of your staff reviews and Congressional consideration, much
of what you're trying to accomplish coincides with several
features of the Civil Service Simplification Act in which we
have an abiding interest.
As you work toward turning the Task Force recommendations
into a plan for an operational system, I urge you to pay
special attention to (1) the cost neutrality issues we
discussed; (2) the relative costs of incentive bonuses
versus increases to base pay which impact on computation of
"high three" for retirement computations; and (3) the
effects-of performance rating distributions on linkages to
other personnel actions.
We appreciate your sending us the preliminary report and
coming over to talk with us about it. As you work toward
final action on this project, please feel free to call me or
my staff for assistance.
Beecher
sistant Director
for Systems Innovation
and Simplification
