MEMORANDUM FOR: General Counsel
FROM: Deputy Director for Planning and Coordination
SUBJECT: Personnel Evaluation Board (PEB)
1. During my service on the PEB for over two years, I
developed both a great respect for the process and a concern
that too few of the lessons learned' are brought to bear in
management training and employee development. Further,- I am
struck by the notion that most PEB cases are brought because
corporate equities are involved, rather than narrow concerns
about poor performance, etc.
2. I have raised informally with the Executive
Committee members the notion that the PEB be reconfigured
and that its 'chain of command" be revised. The lower level
Employee Review Panel might remain as presently constituted,
but the PEB would have a voting member from each Directorate
to share formally in the interpretation of Agency policy,
regulations, and precedent. (The current PEB members might
remain as "members," or might become the senior staff
present to advise a Board of only directorate
representatives.) The Chairmanship of the Board would be
the Deputy Director for Planning and Coordination, in order
to represent the PEB as a corporate body. (Chairmanship by
the D/OP with D/OMS, D/OS, DC/CIC, D/EEO, GC, etc., as
members makes the process look more like a DDA technical
review, even though the head of a career service ultimately
must sign off on recommended action.)

3. Is there anything in the above notion that is
prohibited by regulation? Would there be any abridgement of
due process? Any confusion of command authority or of right
of appeal? I'd appreciate your views.
