DD/S STAFF MEETING
12 May 1970
25X1
Leave schedules are not to interfere with continuity. Either
the Chief or his Deputy is to be on duty. First consideration is to be given
to those who have been working long hours and under pressure. This applies
to all levels of command.
3. Papers Signed by Office Heads
There have been cases wherein Office Heads have signed papers
and then, upon questioning/reconsideration, they have reversed themselves.
In other situations, the DD/S will move on the paper and later it is discovered
that subordinates in that Office were unaware of the position taken by their
Office Head or not in agreement with it.
Concerning Funds:
Proposals have been submitted and action taken on them with
PPB and EDC. When action is returned to the originating office, another
and higher cost estimate is re-submitted to the DD/S causing re-involve-
ment in the action process.
Mr. Bannerman cautioned the Office Heads to be careful and
attentive in these matters and to be sure that their juniors who are the
action people know of the first submission. He stressed these points
and will expect full support from the Office Heads for the positions taken
in their papers.

6. Cafeteria Proposals
Mr. Bannerman has discussed our proposals to seek outside
interest in our cafeteria operation with Mr. Sampson of GSA. GSA which
is completely behind GSI cafeteria operation in federal buildings takes a
negative position on our proposal. The recent GSA survey was favorable
to GSI and our Cafeteria Committee approved it. We have no further
complaints and will withdraw our proposals to seek interest from outside
contractors. However, if GSI does not maintain the level of service, we
will renew our request.
In response to questions about the briefing of summer employees,
Mr. Bannerman asked Mr. Wattles to see to it that they get a professional
briefing with a message - that we are a part of the Government, not
independent. He wants a central briefing, in groups of 50 or so, and
not to wait until they are on the job for several days. The briefing
should be on a speaker basis - not films. The subject of dress should
be handled on individual ,not group basis.
Mr. Wattles said tha ill be in charge of this
briefing program.
Mr. Bannerman stated that he wanted to repeat the procedure
of exit interviews by a team of summer employees, and also to have
someone talk to them once or twice during their employment.
