MEMORANDUM FOR:
Deputy Director/ORD
SUBJECT Career Service Panel
1. Per our discussion Friday, 13 May, I believe
that a three man panel should be established in lieu of the
present panel. These three would be yourself, 25X1A9a
25.X1A9a and The present panel is large and difficult to
con ro an due to the number of people handled by each
member, has lost any semblance of objectivity. A smaller
group could be more objective and would spend considerably less
time in "nit picking." It took the present panel several months
to establish the competitive evaluation list and the "sniping" at
the present method has not ceased since it was approved by the
Panel. The Panel has yet to establish a promotablity list that
is not governed by the current promotion recommendation, i. e.,
"Let's take the evaluation list and put so-and-so at the top and
call it a promotability list."
2. With the three man panel concept, a recommendation
for a personnel action would be presented to the Panel and defend-
ed by the Division Chief concerned. The Panel then meeting in
closed session would be able to make the most appropriate
recommendation, to Mr. Chapman. This would eliminate the
present subjective type consideration of promotion actions.
3. I have only mentioned promotion actions since these
and the comparative evaluation list are the only items that have
been discussed by the Panel during the past two years.

4. Due to the diminishing number of vacancies in ORD,
it might, perhaps, be advantageous if the Panel reviewed personnel
files of those applicants which the Division Chiefs wish to be
placed in process.
