has not demonstrated the per-
formance that would warrant a promotion to
GS-15 as compared to people on the GS-14
list. His performance is not sufficiently
25X1A9a outstanding to merit the promotion.

25X1A9a
not sufficiently demonstrated superior
performance in comparison to others.
Consideration must be given to the shortage
of headroom for GS-15's.
