MR. ECHOLS: Let's take a look at the Minutes of the
last meeting. Any additions or corrections? (No response.) Okay, we
will accept the Minutes as presented.
Let me give you a fast report on where we stand
right now. We have a total of seven cases pending action by Career Service
Boards. Five of them are cases that are special cases, I think, which will
be taken care of today. One is a case that was held out pending decision with
regard to marriage to an alien. This will be easily processed soon. And
one is a Commo case where there is some question about some service --
ish't that right, Harry? But we're down, really, to our last seven cases.
MR. - Well, I've sort of given them a deadline and
said to red-line them after that point. This was service with OSA overseas,
on which they seem to have no records - - we know the kid was over there.
MR. ECHOLS: We're almost through with the initial go-around.
We're going to start immediately on getting a machine run on all of those who
have entered the zone of eligibility. Our last call-up was in January, 1966.
The volume probably will not be very great. Then when we clean that up we
will have to decide whether our future call-ups should be done annually or
quarterly. I have no views on this. I don't know what the volume is likely
to be.
MR. - These are people coming of age--

MR. ECHOLS: Age 25, yes.
So if it's agreeable with you, we will just wait and get
this first call-up out of the way, and then, let's say, at the end of a quarter we
will call for one and see whether we have two or three names or whether it's
worthwhile to have quarterly call-ups.
Our first batch of cases here are those who acquire
a vested interest. There are 17 of them. Any discussion on any of these
17 cases?
25X1A9a
MR. Move their approval.

MR. This is the kind of guy we're trying to recruit.
MR. ECHOES: I just have the Biographic Profile in my book.

GREE
Does the Career Service have a recommendation on this retirement? --
Oh, yes - excuse me - here it is--
25X1 A9a MR. What is "OD"?
25X1A9a
MR. It should be "ID" - Office of Central
MR. ECHOLS: His request for voluntary retirement has
been approved by the Director of Central Reference -- so I guess that is that.
Any objections to this retirement request?
25X1A9a
MR. I vote we accept it.

25X1A6a MR. Emmett, I'm just hesitating here
because I know that in-we have been hard up for translators. I don't

know anything about this man's background, or anything of that sort, but--
MR. ECHOLS: Do you want to hold this up to investigate his
qualifications for transfer--
MR. Can we hold it up until our next
meeting, without any difficulty?
MR. ECHOLS: Oh yes--
MR. _ He doesn't go until spring.
This relates to the point I raised at our last meeting
as to how much option the Agency has. Theoretically the Agency has the option
at this point, but in practice we say: What good is a disgruntled employee if
we turn him down?
MR. I don't know whether he was
disgruntled- -
MR. - Well, if the guy applies the idea would be he
wouldn't apply if he didn't want to get out, and if you turn him down when he has
a chance to get out this early--
MR. On the Biographic Profile it shows him
working for DD/P--
MR. That was seven years ago.

MR. Grade 10.
MR, It may be if somebody offered him something
better, and overseas, that he might be interested.

MR. You say he's OCS?
MR. Yes.
MR. et me look into it.
MR. ECHOLS: Could you (indicating and Ger2 X1A
get together and explore the facts -- and maybe we can salvage an employee.
MR. Or make some retirement deal with
him, or something, maybe. But I'd like to investigate it.
MR. ECHOLS: Okay - - a good point.
Any other business? (No response.) If not, we
will adjourn.
