as we execute our separation procedures more effectively. Also we
should be fully prepared for the time when our Early Retirement Legis-
lation is enacted into law.
2. In particular I wish to make certain that we will be able to
handle quickly and effectively the cases of all individuals who will
require this assistance. I would like to know how many individuals are
assigned full time to the Placement Branch. how many cases the Branch
currently handles each month, how many additional cases it could handle

By following a practice of complete honesty and objectivity, various
employers will, over a period of time, come to welcome the oppor.

is enacted, there will be a considerable increase of men and women

important one, I believe we should make certain that our placement
program will be equal to the job. Please advise me of any suggestions
you have on how our separation program can be improved and of any
special problems encountered. I would like to receive your comments
and suggestions by 13 May.
