MEMORANDUM FOR: Director,
SUBJECT Midcareer Executive Development Course
1. I have reviewed jour memorandum on the subject
and those from OCI, OER an coTrcur in the
recommendations in paragraph 4 of your memorandum; i.e.,
a. That the reference date for age and time in
grade be the closing date of the course in question.
b. Age 32 through 42.
c. GS-13 or promoted to GS-14 within the last
year.
d. GS-13 candidates are within the zone of
consideration for promotion to at least GS-14 and
GS-14 candidates have the potential for eventual
promotion to GS-15 or higher.
e. The candidate preferably should not have
had the Management Grid Course as this is part of
the Executive Development Course and maximum bene-
fit would be derived by participating in the full
six-week course. (This criterion may initially
cause some difficulty, but midcareerists should be
identified in time so that the Grid can be deferred).
2. If there are to be exceptions to these criteria,
I would prefer to have them favor younger professionals
with proven ability and considerable promise for the
future. I also realize that there is a need for broaden-
ing and refresher training for older analysts in the
GS-14 and GS-15 grades, but I do not feel that they
should be put into the Midcareer Executive Development
Course. OTR has just started another course, Advanced
Intelligence Seminar. This is a good course and should
be used for the older professionals that are at or
approaching the limit of their professional development.

3. You also recommend that the Directorate quota
for the Midcareer Course be increased from seven to nine
for each session. I believe that we can supply about
25 to 30 very high quality participants a year. On this
basis our quota for each session would depend on the
number of times a year OTR plans to run the course. If
it is three times a year, we should have a quota of nine,
or ten. If four times, we should hold to seven or eight.
If five times, our quota should be six. Please use this
as your guidance.
