Minutes of the Committee on
Job Evaluation
January 17, 1978
"I I
The meeting, chaired by Paul A. Katz, Chief, Standards Division, covered
two main topics on the agenda -- (1) Freedom of Information Developments
and (2) Plans for a Pay Comparability Survey by the International Civil
Service Commission.
Discussion of developments under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
centered around the May 5, 1977, letter of Attorney General Bell's
establishing criteria which will be considered by the Justice
Department in determining whether a suit against an agency under the
FOIA will be defended in the courts. The discussion elicited varied
reactions from committee members regarding the implications of the
Attorney General's guidelines as they might relate to the standards
development program. These possible implications and agency viewpoints
will be considered further at a future meeting of the Committee.
Paul Katz spoke about his work with the International Civil Service
Commission and their plans to conduct a "pay comparability" survey of
Federal agency positions. Detailed documents were distributed describing
the plan to visit selected agency classification chiefs during March 1978.
Executive Director Roger Barnes and Classification Section Chief Terry
Slater will conduct a detailed briefing of the agencies at our next
IAG Committee meeting, at 1:30 p.m. on February 14, 1978. Attached to
these minutes is one of the distributed documents. (The others are too
voluminous for general distribution.) That document "Proposed Selection
of U.S. Government Departments to Produce Job Descriptions," generally
indicates the level of effort the ICSC would like agencies to provide.
In addition to sample job descriptions, they would like to spend about
a half day with each of the selected agencies.
A significant portion of the UN payroll is contributed by the American
tax paying public. This study will help insure fair UN pay, thus
keeping our UN contributions to an effective minimum. Your support
of the ICSC study will help achieve U.S. diplomatic and financial
objectives.
Mr. Katz requested that a representative from each agency listed under
"U.S. GOVT DEPARTMENT" on the attachment be present at the February 14
meeting. Other agency representatives are also invited to attend and
to lend all possible support to the study.

Discussion of the future organization and activities of the IAG
Committee was begun, but at the suggestion of several members, it
was decided that full discussion of these matters would be postponed
to a later meeting. Members were urged to give thought to possible
committee and sub-committee objectives so that they might be
considered by the entire membership.
