MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: Office of Personnel Weekly Report -
Week Ending 22 August 1979
1. We now have a total of 587 persons who have either
retired or have signed to go before the end of FY 1979; thus,
we have already exceeded the range of estimated retirements
originally projected for FY 1979 which was 550 to 575. There
also appears to be a good chance that enough additional people
will sign to go by 30 September so that we also will exceed
the 600 actual retirements which took place in FY 1978. The
number of persons who retired under the special retirement
options during the period 1 May through 31 July 1979 was less
than projected. However, the announcement of the 6.9o
cost-of-living increase effective 1 September appears to
have triggered enough additional voluntary or optional
retirement activity to more than make up for the shortfall
under the special retirement option.
Total retirements by fiscal year since the record
exodus in FY 1.973 are as follows:
FY
1974
- 614
FY
1975
- 514
FY
1976
- 583
FY
1977
- 456
FY
71978
- 600
FY
1979
- 587
(definite to date)
*Includes the transitional quarter (1 July through 30 September)
when. we converted to the new 30 September-1 October fiscal
year basis. (C)
