c. When candidates are surfaced for participation in the
Program, the Junior Officer Training Program would screen can-
didates first and the Panel would cooperate with the Junior
Officer Training Program in assisting in this screening (much
as the individual Support offices have done in the past).
d. The individual Support offices would be called upon
to make determinations in regard to the suitability of indi-
vidual candidates as the Pam,l determined appropriate.
The group felt that this approach vou..1d provide a more objective review of
qualifications and would ensure that, one chosen, individuals would be
equipped to benefit fully from Program participation.
5. 1a The Chairman then briefed the Panel In regard to recent contacts
with the Clandestine Services Persontsel Division of the Office of Personnel
wbi b hopefully will lead to establishment of require *nts for a number of
the trainees who are now attcnding the Support ?ervices Course. He also
informed the group that as a result of these contacts agreement was reached
that Support Junior Officer Tz inees in general would net be assigned to
:txtremsly small fie.d stations (two or three employees) --that small station
experience would be at those stations where there: is sufficient activity in
the areas of finance, personnel and logistics to afford the young officers
a significant Support-oriented experience." He then requested that each
Panel member examin.o the situation in his ova component with a view toward
derv lopncent of specific require wants for as many of the Program participants
as his component might need in the foreseeable future, These requirrents
would specify the duties and responsibilities to be assigned each trainee
ruqusste:d.
