Interagency Advisory Group Committee meeting on Development and Training
sponsored by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on 23 September.
OPM outlined their understanding of the status of the tax provisions of
employer-provided educational assistance. OPM advises that...
"Training that is clearly job related is not taxable...Agencies
should not treat those tuition payments as income and should not
withhold taxes from them...
Programs that could have tuition payments taxed are cooperative
education and apprentice programs because they prepare the
employee to meet the entrance requirements for a new career
field."

SUBJECT: Weekly Report
1. On 22 September, Chief, Secretarial Training Branch, at
the request of C/ISTD, a non-tempest Wang PC
280s we .are holding to OIT/PCERIC (Physically
Challenged Employees Resource n orma ion Center> for a
one-month period. is working on a project to
increase the size o e e ers on the CRT for those employees
who are visually impaired by using a special board which can be
placed inside of a non-tempest Wang PC. If this project proves
successful, OIT will make a proposal to include this adjustment
in the terminals of employees with this handicap. We are happy
to be a part of .this project.
2. Chief, STB attended a Secretarial Policy Coordination
meeting on 21 September to discuss some problems which st.i,.ll.
concern the Office of Personnel:
a. Standard policy should be issued in writing on
conversions of secretaries between the IS and the GS
system. An example was given where one employee made a
$3,000 increase by this method.
b. OP is asking for volunteers among secretaries at
the IS-04 level to accompany personnel officers in making
audit/enrichment visits to those offices where positions
are submitted for upgrading.
c. Discussion continues on changing the form and
effective date for announcing Performance Awards which now
coincides with Professional Secretaries' Week.
d. The problem of IS-03's blocking IS-04 positions is
a reality. DS&T allows their secretaries one year to
qualify for the IS-04 position. If not, the employee is
moved to another position or the position is downgraded.
There should be an overall policy on this subject. `

e. The DS&T Secretarial Coordinator gave a report on
the DS&T Secretarial Conference in which several excellent
suggestions were discussed:
(1> The possibility of a directorate or Agency
school for secretaries. The secretary would enter on
duty with the Agency and then spend several weeks or
months being intensively trained to be a competent
Agency secretary.
(2) Secretaries may be more willing to seek
positions in other offices if they were more familiar
with the offices in question. A tour of the building
and offices where one might be transferred would be
helpful.
(3) The possibility of rotational and directed
assignments in the future was discussed by Mr.
Hineman. Many secretaries generally supported
rotational assignments but there was little support
for directed assignments.
(4> Secretaries were encouraged by Mr. Hirsch to
assume more responsibility for the IS program_by
managing the program and fully participating in the
panels.
3. Chief, STB had the opportunity to meet her counterparts
in secretarial training from NSA and DIA at the Headquarters
Learning Center Conference sponsored by DDC on 23 September
1988. DIA is getting ready to launch a their first
secretarial training program. They were interested in many
aspects of our program. It was a most beneficial Conference to
all.
4. Two instructors from the Communication Training Branch
tives from the Intelligence Training Division, observed a
writing lab at the Woodbridge Campus of Northern Virginia
Community College on Wednesday, 14 September. The lab is
arranged in the same configuration as the proposed Writing
Center for the South Building. The visitors were impressed
with the quality of writing and instruction that they observed.

students. We had five no-shows and 12 drop-ins. One of the
presenters from the Office of the Comptroller brought five of
the drop-ins. He said they were not registered because the
course was not well advertised. Chief/ASTB outlined the
following sources of information about the course: the
Electives for Managers posters and flyers currently posted, the
online OTE catalog, the Notes to Training Officers, and the
Newsletter for Agency Managers. He did not have any
suggestions for additional advertising!
