Restrictions on Employment and Travel
FY 1967
10EIRXNCE t Memorandum from he President to Reads
of Executive Departments and Agencies,
Subject: Further Restrictions on
Employment and `ravel, dated 20 May 1966.
1. In response to the Prosident'e memorandum directing
ti tl Department and Agency to adopt form programs for the
-.c-rncnt of the filling of vacant positions and reductions
in planned travel durinY 1967, the following information
is submitted:
a. Deferment of the yillin of Vacant Positions:
I nm reaso iy cc xtain that in view o - e curren
ccr:petition for scientifically and technologically
trained individuals, position vacancies will exist in
this Directorate Whether we withdraw authorization for
the filling 02 vacancies or we do not, It is impossible
to forecast where each of these vacancies will
located.
As has been pointed out before, the Science
and Technology Directorate has been striving for the
pn st three years to acquire the staff personnel, both
in quality and quantity, who are essential to the
achievement of the levels of performance and
accomplishment which were foreseen at the time the
Agency established this organization. Any directed
r c`uction, either through the authorization of lower
cewlings or the designation of positions which must
re:iain vacant, would seriously affect not only the
ability of my officers to carry out their approved

on (00 per coat of its approved budget
nL .orization), additional travel will be authorized
o14ii with~ thenpeersonal -approval of myself, my Deput 1,
p 'U;raas, but would also have an unfortunate impact
on the nomentu:a of our recruitment efforts which
.:ny be now just begiunin& to bear results..
As you are well aware, while some iuereases
ire Y 1957 ceilings were approved, the DDC1 was
uzx ble to approve other, which were also felt to
be Justified. The failure to receive authorizations
for the position levels which were contained in our
iz'_i.tial iiY 1087 budget proposal will affect the
ac: ivit.ie:3 of at least two Off ices in this Directorate.
I %.n. becoming, increasin ly concerned that project
o ai tars and case off icera will be spread too thinly
over a wide number of projects to afford maximum
overview and direction to the contractors with when we
are doing business. I am giving this a great deal of
attention and will discuss this with you further if I
feel we have reached the point where further exi union
of our R&D program within vital and e zsentiai areas
could not be unriertnb.-en because of either the lack of
authorized positions- or? available scientifically
trained personnel. Our Office of Computer Services
may also soon experience a similar problem with respect
to the requirements placed upon them for automatic data
processing support In relationship to the availability
of qualified personnel and authorized ceiling..
b. Curtailment in Dudgete Travel: I share the
:Preside s concern c~vc~r ale for #3aY 3 i5.k money spent for
travel. While I am not prepared to commit irrevocably
this Directorate to a travel budget below the sum
authorized in our l 1907 budget, I intend to instruct
each Office Director to plan travel, both domestic and
overseas, at a level 10 per coat below his authorized
buy get figure. The necoasity for ea+r trip will be
severely evaluated and unless a net benefit can be
demonstrated, the travel will not be authorized. In
the event an Office, during the year, expends its travel
