D/CO Staff Monthly Report - July, August and
September 1983
1. Reports of D/CO staff activities were not submitted for
the months of July and August. This report contains the significant
events of July and August as well as those of September.
2. Concurrent with the establishment of the OC Management
and Liaison Staff in July, the OC Programs and Budget Staff and
the OC Planning Staff were abolished. There will be no further
individual monthly reporting from these former D/CO staff elements.
Likewise, the OC/OL/IMC and the Safety Officer have been absorbed
by the Administrative Management Division. Consequently, there
will be no further individual reports from those activities.
3. Senior Support Assistant
The SSA position has not been staffed since January 1983,
but reporting under the SSA caption continued because some of
the former incumbent's functions were performed by the Chief of
the D/CO Budget Control Staff. However on 26 September, the
Budget Control Staff was abolished as a separate organizational
entity and its responsibilities were transferred to the newly
created Budget and Fiscal Branch of the Administrative Management
Division. As a consequence of these events there will be no
further reporting from this former D/CO staff element.
