MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC)
FROM: Daniel C. King
Director of Logistics
SUBJECT: Printing and Photographic Production Personnel
1. The purpose of this memorandum is to propose that NPIC and the
Office of Logistics (OL) explore the career management and economic benefits
that might accrue to this Agency?by creating a single career service for
our printing and photographic production personnel.
2. As you know, Office of Personnel, Position Management and Com-
pensation Division (OP/PMCD) recently completed a position management
survey of our respective printing and photographic production facilities.
It is my understanding that PMCD favors the consolidation of the two career
management systems. Indeed, PMCD is in the process of developing a single
Agency job description for all photographic production personnel. Such a
standard already exists for printing personnel, who fall under standards
developed by the Government Printing Office (GPO), as the executive agent
for the Joint Committee on Printing.
3. It appears that there is a sufficiently large population in each
craft to justify the establishment of a consolidated career management
program. OL has formal apprentice training programs for both printing and
photographic personnel in existence. The publications technology that is
being acquired as part of the NPIC Development Program will further blur
past distinctions between printing production personnel at NPIC and OL.
We will both be utilizing the same composition and printing production
processes. I believe the same situation exists in the photographic
production process. A sound management approach to this situation would
be to ensure that all craft personnel receive the same technical training
and perform to uniform management standards. Such a course of action would
also create opportunities for professional growth for your craft personnel.
I also believe that economies of scale could be achieved in terms of
production and material costs through a consolidation of these production
responsibilities.
4. Given the high cost of printing and photographic production support
to the Agency and the need to ensure that production personnel receive the
best training and career management possible, I believe we, as responsible
senior managers, must make every effort to optimize career structure and
production processes. I would appreciate meeting with you on this subject
at your earliest convenience.
