Subjecti Ent ablisshing a System for Identifying Agency E loyeees
who are Ineligs le for Overseas Assignment because of
x'Ledical Lqeiren ents
1. on -19 June 1962, I disce*szssad the above subject with
Dr. John T jen, Chief, Medical Staff .ef',.cal Support Staff and
Dr. Ti jen bas in mind a general p3An Bch would provide for
the identification of Agency employees tho cannot be assigned
to different geographic areas became of medical impairements and
other related medical problei s. At this time be is not sum

include4 the opportunity to ca$ iize on the system for certain

This information can now be obtained only by individual
3. I proposed to Dr. Tien that he consider these three basic

b. Establish a simple card system to identity Only those
Agency en loyaea O have a known medical impairem nt. We
system would not be flexible and would not provide
opportunity for the collection of statistical data.
c. Use a xfte Key Sort Type System. This would provide
for the Coding of $ertain basic information and incorporate
it into a card vhich is mechanically noted,. After this, basic
data an well, as statistical information could be extracted, from
this file.
