Suggester designed and proposed the use of a new WD form 43,
"Individual Earnings Records Card".

B. Mmaxx_gL,E aluation ,
On 5 November 1958, Chief, Technical Accounting
Staff, stated:
"Investigation shows that the proposed form has been approved
for use by the Agency. Also, it has been approved by the
General Accounting Office as required. A supply has been
printed. The revision constituted a rearrangement of the for-
mat, omitting some obsolete material and adding some new items,
but (lid not include any significant contribution. Use of the
new form in lieu of the old has certain advantages enumerated
by the suggester, but these are of such slight significance
that no monetary evaluation can be made of them.
"The development of Form 1488, Individual E.r-nings Record, is
not considered by this Offi;.e as resulting from a suggestion
by an employee. The Chiefs of the Fiscal Division stated that
during a conversation he had with the suggester on the problems
of using the old earnings record - WD Form 43 - the suggester
was instructed to draft a proposed revision for Agency use.
Since the revision resulted from a direct assignment, it should
not be considered as a suggestion."
25X1A
replied to our question
about "suggester was instructed to
draft a proposed revision, as fol-
lows: Suggester went to her
supervisor and explained that she
had some ideas to improve the In-
adequate Form WD-43, and he told
her to draft a new farm..
25X1A
believed that she does
deserve an award; that the changes
are minor; and that the award
should be based on slight-local
intangible benefits.

Suggester proposed that the present book microfilming and
photostating techniques of the Agency be speeded by the use of an
improved type book holder, with foam rubber padding (sketch on
file in suggestion folder).
B. SUMXX- of EY4l at ons
On 26 November 1958 Acting Chief, Admin Staff,
OL, stated:
"The suggestion of using an improved type of bookholder when
microfilming or photostating documents has been tried and
adopted. The testing period proved that by using this book-
holder books, magazines, etc, were copied faster than by the
method previously used and with less fatigue to the operator
of the photostat machine or microfilm camera.
"Six bookholders as designed by the suggester have been ordered.
Slight modifications from the original submitted were made.
When the modified bookholders arrive the original device may be
returned to the suggester or it may be modified to conform to
the new ones.
"Intangible Benefits are derived from this suggestion. It is
recommended that the suggester receive an award based on
local application of moderate benefits."
The Office of Logistics informed this Staff that the estimated cost
of the six bookholders is $410.00.

able to --v facilities nor personnel was availa-
provide such a service Agency-wide.
Records Management Staff, at the time of the original suggestion,
sta-ted that Records Center did have the facilities and could supply
the service. Evidently, RMS" statement was overlooked and final
Conclusion was based on comments of OS and DD/P.
Suggestion No. 58-325 reopened the subject. 05 stood firm on
its previous statement of lack of personnel and facilities in their
area, and that "facilities for handling these are available through
each employee"s administrative office". DD/P-rejected'this last
statement in a comment by ExO, DD/P, who stated that
"there are no such facili es except on an informal and personal
basis. When an Admin Officer has accepted this unofficial respon-
sibility and then been transferred himself, the problem of what to
do with the files remains unsolved."
Casualty Affairs Branch, CAP, published a notice in the July 1958
pamphlet "Financial Benefits for Agency Employee,". See TAB A for
excerpt.
