MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Support)
SUBJECT : Executive Inventory
1. Attached for your information is the memorandum on
the Executive Inventory which I mentioned to you on the tele-
phone.
2. Kirk and I agreed 10 February 1958 that
would continue to compile a roster of individuals of interest
under the terms of the Agency Management Development Program.
This is an assignment I gave to Rud a week or so ago and one
which will take several months to complete. It amounts to
getting from the various Career Service Chiefs and operating
officials an idea of who the bright young men at various
grade levels may be, separating the people with general
capacities from specialists and technicians, and coming up
with a workable roster. Once we have done this work, we
will then consider whether these materials should be
presented to the suggested Committee or whether we would
use the Career Council and the Supergrade Board for review
purposes.
3. The purposes to be served by the senior, middle and
junior executive inventories are, of course, quite different.
Kirk feels that a senior executive inventory should be drawn
up and then reviewed by those senior officials in the Agency
whose duty it is to advise the Director from time to time
about key appointments. The middle executive inventory
should be maintained as a backstop in making appointments
in the higher professional grades and should be used by
the Supergrade Review Board in promotion actions involving
movement from GS-15 to GS-16. The junior inventory would
serve to keep bright young men from being buried in the
machinery of the Agency.
