SUBJECT:
Competitive Promotion Program
1. This is is response to your memorandum dated 1 March 1957
requesting a report on the progress of the Office of Security in implement-
ing the Competitive Promotion Program.
A staff study made by the Office of Security Career Service Board
providing ground rules for implementing the program in this office was ap-
proved by me on 21 February 1957. (Tab A)
3. ? The Office of Security Competitive Promotion Program provides
establishment of four evaluation panels for rating employees from
7 through GS-12, and one panel for rating employees in the GS-13 and
GS-14 grades. Employees in grades GS-l through GS-6 will be rated by
supervisors. The required panels have been appointed and instructed to
commence operations, immediately upon receipt of necessary data from our
Administration and Training Staff. (Sample appointments-- Tab B and Tab
C). Supervisors will be instructed in the process for rating GS-1 through
GS-6 employees soon after the panels get into operation.
4. The Administration and Training Staff of this Office is now pre-
paring rosters of employees within the acme of promotion eligibility for the
use of each of the panels concerned and guides and instructions for the use
of each panel in carrying out the evaluation processes.
S. It is estimated that all eligible GS-14s will have been evaluated
and placed in a listing in order of merit for promotion consideration by
UU March; all eligible GS-13a will have been similarly processed by 30 April.
Grades GS-12 and below will follow within target dates to be established as
soon as the work load entailed can be estimated. These lists will be used
by the Office of Security Career Service Board in considering recommenda-
tions for promotions which will come to them from supervisors.
