MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Meeting of the DDA Personnel Resources Board
on 20 September 1974
The purpose of the meeting of the DDA Personnel
1
.
Resources Board on 20 September 1974 was to evaluate and
rank the officers who had been recommended for supergrade
promotions by the Office Heads. However, the Chairman,
Mr. John N. McMahon, discussed his ideas and plans for
certain future activities and responsibilities of the Board.
The following are, in outline form, the areas which Mr.
McMahon covered:
a. Once a year the Board will review and rank
all the GS-15 officers in. the Directorate. This
will be accomplished by subpanels, composed of Board
members, which will look at various groupings of GS-15
officers. The rankings from the subpanels will be
submitted to the Board where they can be discussed and
a consolidated ranking list be made.
b. Office Heads will continue to rank their
personnel through the GS-15 level and to recommend
their officers for promotion to supergrade. These
recommendations will be reviewed by the Board in the
context of the Board's ranking of all the Directorate's
GS-15 officers; each Office Head will also explain the
ranking criteria and promotion policies used by his
Sub-group's Board in selecting candidates for super-
grade promotions.
c. The Board will also review and rank all GS-16
and GS-17 officers in the Directorate. Recommendations
romotions to GS-17 will be examined and ranked in
for
p
the context of the Board's rankings of all GS-16 officers
in the Directorate. At the time the Board is ranking the
GS-16 and GS-17 officers, consideration should be given
to over-all career direction and assignments.

d. However, Office Heads are responsible for
recommending assignments for the supergrade officers
in their Offices. Supergrade assignments proposed
by Office Heads will be submitted to the ADD./A for
concurrence, who may refer the action to the Board
if deemed appropriate. The Board's responsibility
will be to recommend career directions and changes
for an officer, especially if the recommended action
would cut across Office boundaries.
2. Various Board members made the following recommendations
concerning the mechanics of the Ranking Exercises for supergrade
promotions:
a. Simplify the paper work required for the
Board to consider a recommendation for supergrade
promotions. It was suggested that the formal
recommendation to the DCI not be prepared until the
recommendation had been approved by the DD/A; this
would eliminate considerable paper work for those
officers who are not recommended for promotion.
It was felt that a simple sheet containing pertinent
data would suffice for the Board's consideration..
b. It was also recommended that the Board members
be advised ahead of the meeting of the Projected Head-
room for Promotion.
