SUBJECT : Uniform Fitness Report Schedules
1. The uniform Fitness Report schedule to support the uniform
promotion system has come a cropper . . . and we will either need a
Solomon or a Napoleon to work it out.
2. DDO has reviewed and massaged the proposed schedule, which
adjusts to Office of Comimmication's concerns and is acceptable to
everyone else, and claims not to be able to live with it. Overlapping
review sessions cause problems of physical space and the close-on
schedule of GS-13 and GS-14 uses up too many of the same; graded panel
members during the summer when there is also shortage EE-dan't:-tbink
of candidates for panel membership due to transfers
and rotations. DD0/GS has come up with a schedule they like, but which
hays defeats the entire purpose of sequential movement ending
with the GS-14 to GS-iS promotion exercise coming last in the fiscal
year. (Unfortunately, the fiscal year ends in September, not June, and
is not subject to DDO preferences.)
3. I have discussed the problem with
I I and company and 6iifTINTL
are adamant DDO cannot live with our propose original schedule, even
with a some small adjustment of the GS-13 review. I can. see only two
ways to go:
a. Have IXDCI order them to use the schedule agreed to by all
others. (This might create some few changes in their panel system, but
I doubt earth shaking.)
b. Allow DDO to match the promotion dates of the rest of the
Agency, but rum their own Fitness Report schedule. This apparently would
satisfy them. I am not quite sure how they would work it, but suspect
their panel reviews and recommendations would go on mucJt as the schedule

is now, and action to implement would be held up until the promotion date.
I would'think the delayed action would create even more employee discon-
tent . . . e.g., "I was evaluated six months ago and turned down, and in
the mean time I've recruited 7 agents . . . why is this not considered
now" - or alternatively, a highly ranked person could bomb.
4. I have a memorandum ready for the DCI finessing the Fitness Report
schedule with a recommendation that when we get agreement you could approve.
However, if we have to go the route of differing schedules, I would think
this should be indicated. Could we discuss?
