SUBJECT: Critique of OCA Handbook
1. Dave Gries asked that I comment on the newly compiled
handbook. I think the book is quite comprehensive, and have
only a few suggestions.
a. Under Tab 3 is a memorandum on the subject of
hearing preparation, dated 7 July 1986. It mentions a sign-in
sheet required for hearings/briefings. If a sample sheet could
be provided which has been filled in, I think it would be
useful.
b. Under Tab 9 is a listing of Congressional
Quarterly courses. A short description of each, along with a
recommendation as to which courses should be taken by which
employees (and the order in which they should be taken) would
be quite helpful.
c. For those employees who do not have extensive
knowledge of the workings of each component of the Agency, a
listing of Agency courses given by various components,
accompanied by a description of each and when each is given,
would help ensure that those officers entrusted with
safeguarding the Agency's equities can do so with some degree
of confidence.
d. Lastly, when all the "bugs" are ironed out, I
suggest a copy of the handbook be provided to each employee.
Updated sheets can be provided as necessary.
2. As I become more familiar with the workings of OCA, I
may have more suggestions. If so, I will pass them on to you.
