Lion of Authority to Approve 1"F-Grade ;Appoi} rata
1. Paragraph 5 of this memorandum contains a recommendation for your
approval and requests your signature on the attached delegation of authority.
2. authorizes the Deputy Director
for Support to approve the appointment oi? new employees above the base of
the grade at which the employee is appointed. This is done in order to meet
the salary requirements of hard-to-get personnel with special talents who
should not be appointed at the next higher grade because they are not yet
qualified for, or would not fit properly into the staffing pattern at the
higher grade, or because their salary requirements lie between two grades.
3. Our experience with this in-grade hiring over the past several
years has been quite satisfactory. Valuable personnel have been obtained
without disrupting the star ling pattern, and Offices have had an opportunity
to test the performance and potential of these employees berore placing them
in positions of greater responsibility. The employees nominated for in-grade
hiring have been selected with care and each case is reviewed by the Director
of' Personnel, at which point appropriate screening or adjustment takes place. .
As a result the Deputy Director 1'or Support has not round it necessary to
disapprove any of the cases presented.
4. Often there is some urgency to make a salary commitment to prospec-
tive employees being considered for appointment above the minimum rate of a
grade. Competition is keen and a short period of time might be the deciding
factor in closing the case. It would save time and effort to place the
approving authority for in-grade appointments with the Director o.: Personnel.
5. authenticated by the Deputy Director of, Cehtral Intelli-
gence, therefore your action is required to change the delegation. granted
therein to the Deputy Director A`or Support. I recommend that you sign the
attached delegation to the Director of Personnel. changed
to show the new delegation.
