15. (Continued)
Some of the highlight of the discussion:
25X1A9a
a. stated that the question of career development has
come up repeatedly over the past several years with no real action or
resolution. The ORD CSP has to define its mission and function
accordingly, i. e., promotion board or career board! 25X1A9a
25X1A9a commended for his efforts and initiative in preparing
a "straw man outlining his views of an active career program.
25X1A9a b. stated that he had talked to his senior people both
collectively and individually. He stated that these individuals feel
they don't know where they are going in the Agency; they see no sign
of the future. All have stated that they don't want to close out
their careers as project officers. These individuals feel they are
employees of the Agency, not a division or directorate. They cited
things happening on the divisional level with no communication between
ORD divisions. These individuals feel, instead of pulling together, ORD
divisions seem to be working against each other. They feel every Agency
office is self-contained. An example given was Office of Special Projects
which was completed with new people without even exploring the tasking
of sister offices. Individuals in other components had no opportunity
to make a move into this component. They felt that an employee cannot
move around within the DD/S&T which is a minimum-sized base for career
development.
25X1A9a c. stated that there is not enough interchange of possible
25X1A9a openings in other components. A lot of this is done informally. Mr.
cited that a program to handle internal transfers had been
set up, but to date ORD has never received formal notice from other
components about expected vacancies.
25X1A9a d. - stated that a rotation plan for S&T types might be advisable.
25X1A9a e. stated that a training system should be established to
make.ORD personnel eligible for other positions within the Agency. He
also suggested that when training is required by an individual that this
training should not be postponed by the supervisor citing workload as
an excuse.
25X1A9a f. stated that there is a stagnation of talent.

h. stated there is no interplay between the CSP and Senior
Career Service Board. He inquired of the Chairman if the ORD Panel
could. get an idea on how the Senior Board feels about this problem
as ORD doesn't even get the benefit of a report from them.
stated that the ORD Panel is much more active and concerned t an of er
Panels. stated that since no general approach to career
development exists our only alternative, a poor one at that, is to
operate a program in a vacuum at an office level.
i. stated that if ORD is not doin an thing, the Senior 25X1A9a
Panel is not going to do it for ORD. tated that 'there is
only a certain amount ORD can do within their authority. 25X1A9a
also stated that he didn't expect the Senior Panel to do anything for
ORD except assume their responsibility in considering the "career
development" of over 25% of ORD technical personnel under their
"control." An isolated ORD program must obviously be a limited one!
j. stated that members of the Panel should think about how
ORD can formulate a Career Development plan and make the adjustments
without cost to anyone. If the members think a training program should
be formulated for certain groups, he feels D/ORD would not stop requests
for training. He felt that if ORD was going to think about a serious
development program, as opposed to promotions, etc., the managers
will have to implement; the CSP will have to implement. He fell: that
the CSP members should write up what they believe an internal development
program should be so that it can be condensed which can be
sent to the Senior Board, Colonel White, etc. felt that this 25X1A9a
was the only way to do it, and there was no point of going to the Senior
Board and telling them that ORD has no Career Development program. He
felt the managers should try to state certain educational, technical,
language, managerial, and promotion goals for the people in their
divisions. suggested that since this program is so fundamental
that the CSP members spend some time on it during the next two months.
He also suggested that the February CSP meeting be devoted to this program.
At that time, the members could discuss how they can restructure the
CSP and come up with an individual program in six months. If it is
required that a representative go to management, would be glad
to do this.
k. also requested that prepare a summary of the
mobility of ORD employees during the last five years. The summary should
state the number of transfers to other components of the Agency,
identification of the components, and grade levels of the employees. He
requested that this summary be sent to the CSP members, EYES ONLY, for
their review.
16. The next meeting of the CSP was scheduled for 11 January 1970
at 0900 hours.

25X1A9a patent situation. It was suggested that give the
Staff Meeting a rundown on this subject and, if it is considered appropriate,
include it as an item on the Agenda for the next Career Service Panel
meeting in January.
