SUBJECT : Inspector General's report of survey of the
Office of Personnel
REFERENCE DD/S Memorandum to DDCI 5 October 1964,
same subject
1. I have read with interest the response to the IC survey of the
Office of Personnel. I have a few comments which I believe might be
useful in following through on the action on this survey. With regard
to Recommendation No. 2 in which the IC suggests the Director of Per-
sonnel review clerical requirements in all components, it is my
impression that the response is not directly to the point, or perhaps
I see something in addition to what the inspectors saw. It is my sug-
gestion that the Office of Personnel look behind clerical requirements,
old as well as new, to insure that the requirement is justified. I am
not at all sure in my mind that we make the most efficient and complete
utilization of our clerical personnel, and I think careful analysis might
reduce the requirements.
2. The response to Recommendation No. 8, in which it is sug-
gested that the DD/S give priority to developing a cadre of trained and
qualified administrative assistants, makes the comment that there
are many positions in the Clandestine Services carrying the title
Administrative Officer or Assistant which are in fact "senior steno-
graphic and secretarial positions rather than junior professional Support
positions. " If this indeed is true, then I think steps should be taken to
change the situation and to prevent this type of false positions title.
3. The response to Recommendation No. 9 on personnel counsel-
ling makes the comment that the conselling facilities are in being but
not widely known. It doesn't say what is being done to make the knowl-
edge of these counselling services widely known, and inasmuch as I

exceedingly concerned about our overtime policy and feel that we should
immediately get a consistent Agency-wide policy which we are certain
is in keeping with the Government system and can be supported both to
the Bureau of the Budget and to the Congress. Would you take the
necessary steps to expedite this and let's not coordinate it through the
usual laborious and time-consuming system, but handle it at the highest
levels directly.
agree that .we have good counselling services I would urge that a cam-
paign be, undertaken to expand knowledge of their existence.
4. Finally, in the comment on Recommendation No. 12 the
statement is made that the regulations on hours of work were delayed
pending a determination of Agency policy about overtime. I am
