1. 5ibmittd herewith is report of progress on the Logistics
Offic.e survey 'lag the period 26 April through 30 April 1954.
2. As of the close of business on Friday, 3 May 1954, com-
pleted job questionnaires had been received from seven of the
eleven organisational components of the Logistics Office. These
questionnaires cover 85% of the positions being surveyed. Remain.
ing questionnaires are scheduled to be received the early part of
this week, Sufficlent material is on hand to permit the individual
survey analysts to begin coverage of their respective assignments,
and no delay is being occasioned by the missing questionnaires.
Pre Aelnary review of the questionnaires indicates that they are
of average quality, neither outstandingly good nor outstandingly
bad. In certain cases, insufficient Information vas presented,
but the percentage of questionnaires completely inadequate is
relatively small (i.e. anpreximately 2% of the total received to
date). In a number of cases, the questionnaires were based on
previone job descriptions dating from various periods, some of
them quite rement; in these areas sufficient individual desk audits
will be conducted to assure that the information continues to
represent current duties and responsibilities.
3# The survey team leader met with the Chief of the Technical
Review and Policy Staffs Logistics Office, to discuss specific
procedures covering the participation of that component in the fact
finding phases of the classification survey. The basic provisions
under which the arrangement was adopted were reaffirmed, i.e. non-
interference with the survey schedule and non...intervention in grade
determinations. During the week most of the olassification analysts
had an opportunity to confer with key Logistics Office personnel
and discuss the individual organizational assienments in general
terms. The Logisties Office team members are to be apprised of the
work audit schedules of the classification ans/yets in sufficient
time to permit their participation if desired. No difficulties are
foreseen at this time in connection with these arrangements. The
first two or three days of actual audits should indicate whether
the plans laid down so far are workable..
