1. The following information is submitted to you for assistance in
the preparation of a report designed to assure the DCI that Procurement
Officers are appropriately recognized and compensated in light of their
value and contribution to the Agency's responsibilities.
2. We have reviewed various personnel management factors, as they
apply to Procurement Officers, during the 5-year period, 1961 - 1965.
We have considered such matters as average grade of position and people,
promotion rates, awarding of Quality Step Increases, external training
opportunities, and rotational-development assignments. Our review pro-
duces the following statistics:
a. Within the Office of Logistics the average grade of Pro-
curement Division positions is 10.224 and the average grade of
the employees is 9.816. This compares to an average Agency
figure of 9.91+ for positions and 9.521 for employees, and an
average Office of Logistics figure of 8.709 and 8.510 respec-
tively.

e. Of the total of officers mentioned,
=have received external training at Agency expense, such
25X1
training having been taken at U.S. Government, private academic,
or professional institutions.

3. During the same 5-year reporting period, seventeen individuals
at the officer level have left procurement-type positions. Two of these
individuals were internal Agency transfers; one to the Career Trainee
Program and one to FE Division. Of the remaining fifteen individuals,
we would estimate that approximately twenty-five percent left on the
belief that they had opportunities offered which presented greater em-
ployment or career potential; two of this total of fifteen associated
themselves with private industry, two others left to engage in the
private practice of law, five took positions with other Government
agencies, and the others left for various reasons.
ii. In terms of opportunities offered career employees of this
Agency for both advancement and rotation we submit that the above set
of figures represents a most favorable environment. It is also worthy
of note, in connection with that raised by the DCI, that certain per-
sonnel developments in the Procurement Division which may occur in the
near future will continue to afford the continued progression of the
body of Procurement Officers on duty. In connection with plans for
future utilization of senior officers within the Office of Logistics,
it is possible that in the near future the Chief, Procurement Division
may be assigned to other duties. The Deputy Chief of that Division will
soon meet the requirements to retire under the Agency administrative
policy. Accordingly, the two senior procurement positions within the
Office of Logistics may be vacated in the near future which, obviously,
offers continued opportunity for promotion and advancement for Pro-
curement Officers.
