EXTERNAL PLACEMENT BRANCH 1 July 1966
1. Fiscal Year 1966 Activities
During this past fiscal year, the EPB has undergone a reorganization
which involved the transfer of certain support functions (routine employ-
ment reference work and liaison and correspondence preparation on various
types of detailed personnel) and the reassignment of the Retiree Placement
Service to EPB.
During the year, the professional staff was curtailed 50% with an em-
ployment counselling workload decrease of approximately 38%. Under this
reorganization, it is anticipated that the staff will be able to devote
more time to employment counselling and job search efforts. However, since
the functional transfers were not effected until near the end of the fiscal
year, a greater emphasis on counselling has not been possible.
2. Fiscal Year 1967 Plans and Objectives
Fiscal year 1967 plans and objectives are mainly concerned with con-
centrating on employment job searching and counselling for both retirees
and involuntary separatees.
With respect to retiree placement activities, there appears to be
some general expression of interest in the early retirement clauses of
the pending pay act. If passed, the RPS probably will have a number of
additional CSC retiree placement cases in addition to the anticipated
CIA retiree workload.
Judging by last year's experience with handling Agency personnel
(both staff and contract employees) who refused to make themselves avail-
able for assignment to Vietnam, EPB may find itself with an increasing
workload especially if world conditions get more tense. The three gen-
eral types who seemed to emerge from the Vietnam situation were: (1) 20
year military retirees under Agency contracts; (2) younger COTs who had
limited career investments with the Agency; and (3) heads of families
who chose not to be separated from their families for even 18 months.
