3. stated there would be more discussion on SPG
employees if there is a decision made on the status of SPG/ORD. He went
on to review the following employees:
SPG cannot do anything for him at this time. There is a possibility
that he can go back for more training to bring up his capabilities or
he-can transfer to OSI if there is a right spot where he can continue
doing the work he is now doing for SPG.
Advise transfer to AP/ORD in a program management job. Give him
an assignment that is not as extensive as what he has been doing. If
this fails, further discussion will be necessary.
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
Should be set up as an aerodynamicist in a division and should be
some division chief's responsibility. He should be used as a consultant
in ORD.
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
Has a great deal of mobility. He could work in any office in ORD
or the Agency. He has a solid forefront and he will be promotable in
another year. He has attended the Advanced Management (Planning)
in June 1971.
Was looking at other job aspects but decided to stay in ORD. He
wants to get away from project monitoring. He is taking leadership.
Right now he is drifting into administration support - is seeking
managerial aspects. He is being encouraged in the field of weather
modification. Plan to schedule him for the Advanced Management
(Planning) Seminar.
Will keep in the same capacity. He is action-oriented. He would
be excellent for the Watch Office or where things are happening. No
specific training is planned at this time. Later, he will probably be
scheduled for the Advanced Management (Planning) Seminar.
pointed out that had transferred 25X1A9a
to OSP/DD/S&T. This could be considered mobility. 25X1A9a
is now under the direction of DD/S&T)

5. (Continued)
Very good in follow-up and works well with other people. Will
continue to handle staybehind black box systems. He should go on to
a GS-15 without too much trouble. Attended the Midcareer Development
Course this year.
He needs to show me iniative and to improve his competence in
correlating with tasks and people. Rather than look for the solution
25X1A9a of a problem, he tends to look for confirmation of a solution. Briefings
are very good. He is supervising His strength is his
technical knowledge and experience. His major weakness is that he
operates as a company staff type. He is not pushing hard enough as a
25X1A9a project manager. stated he has set schedules up with
him, talked with him and is trying to keep him on schedule on projects
for which he is responsible. Probably will schedule him for Advanced
Management (Planning) seminar in the future.

6.
25X1A9a
Very personable and makes contacts very well. Does his job well.
Waited to see him develop some of our low dollar level projects. Needs
broader job responsibilities and is capable of doing it. Major change
has been gained maturity in dealing with people. Long-term problem is
that he is a Biological Scientist. After he serves as Congressional
Operations Fellow, he could come back as an Agency management employee.
It would be a horrendous mistake to forget him for the year and not
25X1A9a follow closely his progress plan for his return. -stated he will
come back as a manager.
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
25X1A9a
Biggest problem is that he doesn't communicate well in some of the
things he is doing. He has good basic ideas. He cannot sell his programs.
Has come up'with some good ideas in the past year or so. Really don't
expect him to make GS-15 level. Will give him an opportunity to change.
Have sent him to Advanced Management Seminar (Planning) and he is on
schedule for Briefing Techniques course. He is not the strongest in his
technical field but strong enough if he changed his approach to things.
He would do a much better job if he did. Ile gets caught up in details,
other than technical. If he would stress the technical side, this would
help. stated he felt that did not understand Agency
needs which are clearly useful. stated - has 25X1A9a
applied fora patent and a suggestion award would be considered from this.

for possible assignments but nothing has resulted. 25X1A9a
