SUBJICT: Proposed Bill on Deserve of "Less thew lineentive Level"
RIPMEMICI: Tour Memoranda", lk January 1959, SSW Subject
1. I have carefully reviewed. the subject bill. There are several
would
features which/give us some concern from the standpoint of establishing a
reserve' Vbs. this Agency, composed of selected individuals having
specialised skills who are cleared and ready to augment our staff at very short
notice.
a. Section2 of this latest draft prevents reservists froa being
_ _or becoming employees or officers of the Federal Government by reason
of civilian reserve status. We are Appointing these people to our
rolls in a fashion which reqgires only the issuance of travel orders
to bring on duty either for pre-emergency training or for
emergeDAYItatY.
b. Section 3b places a 20% limitation on number on duty in orgy
status at one time. /his restriction would lead to administrative and
training problems, particularly idth a amall group. Since it is our
plan to recruit only people having the basic qualifications, this
period of pre-emergeacy training would be restricted to refresher
training only. A two weeks a year limitation would not be unriesonslae
if it ems felt necessary to place same kind of restrictive eleuse in
the legislation.
