The purpose of this paper is to provide a
historical account of the personnel and training
function in the Office of Logistics.
Because any personnel management and admin-
istration function is created simultaneously with an
Office or organization, the period covered by this
report begins with the establishment of the Procure-
ment Office on 15 November 1950, which marked the
beginning of. the Office later to be known as the
Office of Logistics. The report begins with a brief
account of the background leading to the establishment
of the Office and of the transitional period from
1950 to 1954, during which the functional responsibil-
ities of the Office were expanded from the handling
of Agency procurement and supply matters only to the
encompassment of all of the logistical functions
under the jurisdiction of the Office of Logistics
as of 1969. Following that is a historical chronology
of the organizational placement of the personnel

and training function from the initial establishment
of the Office in 1950 to the establishment of the
Personnel and Training Staff as it currently (1971)
exists.
The paper relates some of the personnel
management problems encountered in the early days
of the Office and some that have continued and will
always exist in an Office of the size and complexity
of the Office of Logistics. The report examines
the objectives, methods, actions, and developments
related to the problems confronted. Included are
overall statistics that reflect the total numbers
and types of personnel in the Office of Logistics
and the distribution of employees throughout the
Logistics Career Service. These data should give
the reader a better understanding of the total range
and scope of the personnel and training activities
over the years.

PERSONNEL AND TRAINING IN LOGISTICS
I. Background
The Office of Logistics, in which the Per-
sonnel and Training Staff is located, is charged
with responsibility for providing logistics support
to all Agency components, both overt and covert,
domestic and foreign. The creation of this Office
developed from decisions to centralize responsibil-
ity for all Agency logistical support functions
within one component under the Executive, CIA, and
began with the establishment of the Procurement
Office on 15 November 1950. 1/* Responsibility for
all Agency materiel procurement was assigned to the
Procurement Office and transferred to it were the
covert procurement and supply functions then under
the former Procurement and Supply Division of the
Special Support Staff and similar overt procurement
and supply functions of the Services Division of

the Administrative Staff. Before that date, be-
ginning with CIG days in 1946, the Agency had tried
a variety of organizational arrangements to perform
the logistical service functions required to support
world-wide expansion of Agency operations, usually
creating separate administrative components to sup-
port the overt and covert activities.
The newly established Procurement Office
consisted of the Procurement, Supply, and Procurement
Planning Divisions. This was the beginning of several
organizational changes implementing the concept of
centralization of logistical functions in CIA.
At various times during the next four years addi-
tional functions were added to the Procurement
Office (later called the Procurement and Supply
Office and re-designated the Logistics Office in
March 1953). 2/ The last major transfer of logis-
tical service functions was completed when the Print-
ing and Reproduction; Mail Control; and Space,
Maintenance, and Facilities functions were integrated
into the Logistics Office on 15 February 1954. 3/
As of that date, then, centralized within the Logistics

These functions still (1971) exist in the Office
of Logistics. 4/ The number of positions in the
Office Table of Organization (T/O) had increased
as of 21 December 1950, immediately after
the Office was originally established, to a total
as of 16 February 1954. The ceiling
authorization had increased to ~~ and the total

II. Role of the Personnel and Training Staff
A. Origin and Mission
The Personnel and Training Staff (the name
was changed from Personnel Staff on 20 December 1966)
is a staff element of the Office of Logistics
reporting directly to the Director of Logistics.
It was established on 1 March 1965 5/ for the pur-
pose of providing the Director of Logistics with
professional, administrative, and technical per-
sonnel support in developing, recommending, coor-
dinating, implementing, and administering an
effective Logistics personnel management, training,
and career service program. This program includes
maintaining, improving, and developing employees
to the fullest extent and ensuring the availability
of trained logistics specialists in the several
functional logistics fields for assignment to other
Agency components as required.

came into being, the personnel administrative
function was performed for the most part by
the Office Chief and his immediate staff, con-
sisting of a Deputy, an Assistant to the Chief,
and two Secretaries.
2. Establishment of Administrative
Officer Position
On 23 March 1951 a request was made
to the Advisor for Management to add an Administra-
tive Officer to the T/O of the Office of the Chief
of Procurement. This was approved; 6/ and effective
25X-1A 13 May 1951,
from the Administrative Staff of the Medical Division
to the Procurement Office as the first incumbent of
the position. The Administrative Officer, serving
under the Assistant to the Chief (the title was
changed to Executive Officer in early 1952), was
responsible for personnel administration and for
other general administrative duties, including budget
and fiscal, training, security, and registry.
In early 1952 an Administrative Assistant was
assigned to assist in handling the personnel actions,
paperwork, and record keeping.

3. Creation of Administrative Staff
On 27 March 1953, in a reorganization
of the Procurement and Supply Office (which changed
its name to the Logistics Office 7/), an Admin-
istrative Staff was established and assigned respon-
sibility for the Office personnel and training, budget
and fiscal, registry, security, and management-
analysis functions, which were previously handled
by the Executive Office. To cover the personnel
and training functions, its T/O of positions
included one personnel officer, one training officer,
and three clerical positions.
4. Establishment of Personnel and Training
Branch
In March 1954, after the last major
transfer of Agency logistical functions into the
Logistics Office, a management and classification
survey of the Office resulted in a new T/0, pub-
lished on 27 July 1954, which set up the Admin-
istrative Staff with five Branches:
(a) Personnel and Training Branch
(b) Budget and Fiscal Branch

5. Assumption of Additional Functions
Effective 3 September 1957, without
an increase in personnel strength, the Personnel
and Training Branch assumed responsibility for
action on all cable and dispatch traffic to and
action, that is, that concerned Logistics careerists.
This had been performed by the
of the Far East Division of the DDP. In connection
with the assumption of these functions, the following
is an excerpt from a memorandum to the Deputy
Director (Support) from the Chief, Far East Division,
dated 12 September 1957:

The Director of Logistics has recently
taken responsibility (subject only to FE
review) for the preparation of all communi-
cations pertaining to Logistics personnel
throughout the Far East field establishment.
Beyond this, he is handling all other as-
pects of the Personnel management of his
own careerists, which is not only appro-
priate and desirable from his own stand-
point, but a considerable time-saving con-
tribution to this Division when you consider
that we employ upwards of 0 Logistics
personnel in field capacities. We are
most appreciative of Mr. Garrison's coop-
eration in this matter. 8/
To cope with the increased workload and records
required by additional Office of Logistics personnel
strength and increased number of logistical personnel
being processed to other Agency components, one
additional personnel officer and one additional
clerical position were added to the Personnel and
Training Branch on 1 August 1963. This raised its
total ceiling and T/O to Q

was elevated to the level of Staff to report directly
to the Director of Logistics. It was first called
the Personnel Staff, and the name was later changed
to the Personnel and Training Staff.*
On 24 August 1965 one more personnel
officer position was added to the Personnel and Train-
ing Staff. This additional person was necessary
as the result of an increased workload stemming in
the main from new reporting requirements, new average
grade controls, and pressures exerted within the
Agency to accelerate the number of retirements under
both the new CIA Retirement and Disability System
approved in 1964 and the existing Civil Service
Retirement System, especially of those employees
who had been eligible for retirement and had con-
tinued on duty with the Agency under one or more
extensions beyond their retirement eligibility
dates. These pressures were brought to bear in
order to comply with Presidential and Bureau of the
Budget instructions to effect a cost reduction

On 4 May 1967, as part of a total

staff to the former total of 0 This has remained

III. Problems and Developments
A. Rapid Expansion of Office Functions and
Overseas Responsi ility
The decision to centralize responsibility
for logistics support was a step toward solving many
overall Agency problems, but much remained to be
done in determining and clarifying the actual re-
quirements of the Clandestine Services (DDP) for
logistical support personnel. Many people over-
seas who did not possess logistics qualifications
and had not been trained to perform such functions
had previously been placed in logistics positions.
Logistics positions were still being established
by DDP and employees assigned to them without
coordination or concurrence of the Chief of Pro-
curement. It was difficult to obtain reliable
forecasts of personnel requirements, accurate in-
formation on the number of people performing logis-
tical functions, or anticipated dates for the
rotation of logistics employees back to headquarters.
Some people were returning to headquarters with no
specific assignments awaiting them and, in some
cases, the Procurement Office was expected to

absorb people who were not qualified for positions
in the Procurement Office. During the period from
1950 to 1954, this lack of definitive personnel re-
quirements for field activities and the paucity of
information regarding overseas personnel placed
the Chief of Procurement (the title was changed
to Logistics in March 1953) in a very difficult
situation. Many problems confronted him with
respect to reorganizing and staffing his head-
quarters functions and at the same time planning
for sufficient flexibility in his new Table of
Organization (T/O) for obtaining or developing
qualified logistics specialists for future over-
seas assignments.
B. Diversified Types and Categories of Per-
sonnel and Positions
In establishing his logistics organization
and policies for carrying out his mission, the
Chief of Logistics had to provide for a wide di-
versity of personnel required to staff the varied
functions of the Office of Logistics. These ranged
from such professional personnel as engineers,

printing production, and telephone communications
functions. Supporting all of these experts re-
quired a host of service personnel,* such as ware-
housemen, storekeepers, mechanics, couriers, truck
drivers, chauffeurs, telephone operators, and
laborers.
Also unique to the personnel management
function in the Office of Logistics was the admin-
istration of regulations, procedures, and practices
associated with the several wage-board pay plans
used in classifying many of the service positions,
in addition to the regular General Schedule (GS)
pay plan. Those positions consisting of profession-
al, scientific, administrative, clerical, and
fiscal functions were classified under the GS
schedule. Those consisting of duties involving

skilled, or skilled manual labor occupations fell
under one of the wage-board pay plans. The wage-
board positions included such positions as printer,

driver, chauffeur, laborer, carpenter, and mechanic.
Separate grade structures apply to each wage-board
pay plan, and each has its own peculiarities regarding
night differential, overtime, and within-grade

retirement, and leave entitlements under these
plans are the same as those under the GS schedule.

islative action, whereas the wage-board schedules

industry in the prescribed locality of the work
being performed. Amore detailed explanation
of each of the wage-board pay plans used in the
Office of Logistics (1969) is included in Appendix A.
At the time of the Inspector General's
survey of the Office of Logistics in 1955, OL had
higher percentages of low-graded employees, black
employees, and wage-board employees than any unit
in CIA. 13/ This condition is believed to have
continued to the present time (1971). Traditionally,
it is recognized that lower grade employees generate
personnel management problems not normally asso-
ciated with the higher GS grades.
C. Early Recruitment Problems
The recruitment of qualified specialists
and technical logistical personnel was a p roblem
in the early days. Many of the GS positions in
OL were neither competitive nor commensurate with
other Government Agencies or with private industry
as to grade and salary levels. Also, the particular
categories required, with military logistics back-
grounds, were in short supply. For the most part

such personnel were either already employed by the
Defense Department or the Department was in compe-
tition with CIA in recruiting them. In addition,
Agency policy precluded direct acquisition of any
personnel from other Agencies without letters of
availability. Some who did make application\to
the Agency on their own initiative in an attempt
to better their positions were given promotions
when they sought releases from their employing
offices; this resulted in their loss of interest
in making a change. As of 28 May 1952 twenty-
three recruitment requests were outstanding for
professional personnel in grades GS-09 through
GS-14 for the Procurement Office, and three re-
cruitment officers were devoting full time to
Procurement Office needs. 14/ This intensified
recruitment effort did produce people; on
5 February 1953 the Chief of the Administrative
Staff of the Procurement and Supply Office stated
that since June 1952 "The professional-technical
staff, on the other hand, has increased by over

50 percent." At the same time, however, it was
reported that the problem of maintaining an ade-
quate staff of clerical and typing personnel was
critical. 15/ The rapid recruitment of the pro-
fessional-technical personnel, however, did not
prove to be satisfactory enough to meet long-
range objectives of the Office of Logistics be-
cause qualifications in some instances were too
restricted to a particular specialty and lacked
the flexibility needed for rotation within the
logistical fields.
Another problem of recruitment that
existed then and is continuous in any organization
with functions such as OL was that of personnel for
the lower grade, service functions -- like clericals,
this group represented high-attrition personnel
for which continuing recruitment plans are necessary.
In this Agency a higher number of declinations
after clearance comes in this group because low-
salaried people cannot wait the required time for
security processing before employment; and high
attrition is the result of the fact that such

on 29 February 1952 that in a four-and-one-half-
month period 70 individuals were processed for
unskilled and semi-skilled laborer positions, and
14 were cancelled for security or personal reasons,
27 resigned after entering on duty (on a pro-

D. Action Required to Satisfy Overseas
Staffing 0 ligations
The Chief of the Procurement and Supply
Office recognized that the problems confronting
him in connection with overseas personnel require-
ments would not disappear until he was able to
develop and establish policies and an overall
plan whereby (1) operational logistics personnel
requirements could be better anticipated and

(2) Qualified personnel could be selected from
within the logistics ranks, competent employees
could be trained, or Qualified specialists could
be recruited to fill such requirements. Simul-
taneously, he had to establish policies and pro-
cedures for adequately carrying out his personnel
management responsibilities to his employees with-
in the Procurement and Supply Office, as well as
to those employees in associated functions in
other Agency components, with respect to their
assignments, rotation, career development, and
progression. In the early years many personnel
had not been confronted at the time of their
appointments as Agency employees with any obliga-
tion to serve overseas; and a roster of those
logistics employees available and willing to accept
assignment to such duty had to be compiled.
Some policy was also needed on employee obliga-
tions to accept overseas assignments. Agency pol-
icy on these problems at that time was either non-
existent or unclear.

To accomplish these things, it was
necessary to bring under the technical control of
the Procurement and Supply Office all logistics
positions and personnel assigned to operating
elements of the Agency. Up to this time, the
Procurement and Supply Office had an informal
agreement with the DDP to accept logistics per-
sonnel for rotation upon their return from
foreign duty, but there was no basis for planning
nor any means of implementing this until PSO's
representative could participate in the establish-
ment of logistics positions and the initial
selection of incumbents for those positions. 17/
E. Establishment of Career Service Program
On 19 June 1952 CIA
announced the inauguration of the CIA Career
Service Program and required the establishment
of a Procurement and Supply Office Career Service
Board. The Board was to serve in an advisory
capacity to the Office head on all matters per-
taining to the Career Service Program and was to
implement the Career Service Program within the
Office. This included the training, assignment,

rotation, and promotion of employees; the new
intake of personnel, especially at the junior
professional level; and ensuring that rotation
appointees detailed from the Office were not
overlooked for warranted promotion. 18/ Accord-
ingly, on 14 August 1952 a Procurement and Supply
Office Career Service Board was established to
assist in developing a means of coping with or
resolving some of the problems facing the Chief
of the Office. Board membership included Colonel
' 25X1A
as Chairman;
25X1A and Division
Chiefs (to serve on an
individual and monthly
rotating basis) as members; and
25X1A
Secretary. The first meeting of
the Board was held on 25 October 1952 with the
Chief of the Supply Division
as the first rotating member. Monthly meetings were
to be held thereafter. In preference to having ro-
tating membership among Division Chiefs, the Board
was expanded to include all Division Chiefs as
members, as it was felt that they were best

c{ualified to present and discuss cases of personnel
in their respective components. 19/ Over the years
the Board tried various methods of organization,
operation, utilization of panels and committees
to study and recommend solutions to various pro-
blems, adoption of various procedures in selecting
personnel for both headc{uarters and overseas assign-
ments, reviewing and ranking Logistics Careerists
for promotion, and recommending policy. Matters
acted upon in formal Board meetings ranged from
routine personnel proposals, selecting personnel
for overseas assignments, length of overseas tours,
acceptances into the Career Staff, and nominating
personnel for internal and external training to
formulating OL personnel policies.
In May 1963 the Director of Logistics
decided that the Board should be relieved of
routine personnel considerations and devote greater
attention to long-range planning and career de-
velopment of selected careerists with the potential
for ultimate progression to senior-level positions. 20/
Later -- in October 1964 -- he determined that the
Board would be relieved of its action responsibility.

The Chief of the Personnel and Training Branch
was at that time given responsibility for actions
necessary to promote the best interest of the
Logistics careerists. The Branch was established
as the focal point for the origin of plans for
career development, assignments, and training of
members of the Logistics Career Service, collab-
orating directly with the Division and Staff Chiefs
regarding employees under their areas of concern
and submitting final coordinated proposals for
Director of Logistics approval. 21/ Competitive
promotion reviews consisted of individual rankings
by Division and Staff Chiefs, with final selections
by the Director of Logistics depending upon the
promotional headroom available within the overall
Logistics Career Service Grade Authorization.

was "CD-L0." 22/ In considering a few nominations
for the OL designation, questions were raised about
the placement of individuals who were performing
certain overseas functions that did not exist at
headquarters. In accordance with the Career
Board's recommendation, a decision was made that
OL career designations would be based on the in-
dividual's then current duties rather than on
whether or not there might be a similar position
for him on his return. An example of one of these
types of positions was that of field post mainte-
nance and public works officer -- a job of great
importance to field stations and requiring special
training and skills, but the functions were lo-
cated only at field installations. It was later
decided that for the most part these and similar
types of field positions would be staffed by the
recruitment and use of contract employees who were
willing to accept the condition of indefinite
assignment to overseas areas. By June 1955 a
25X9 total of
employees had been assigned Logistics
career designations.

G. Ac uiring Career Co nizance for Lo istics
Positions in Ot er Components
It was not until sometime in 1955 that
it was possible to obtain factual information re-
garding logistics positions and personnel overseas.
Also, the new Office of Logistics T/0, resulting
from the management and classifications surveys
completed in 1955, brought the OL T/0 into balance
with the OL personnel ceiling authorization and
provided current position descriptions and qual-
ifications required to fill positions within OL.
These items provided essential personnel management
tools with which more orderly planning for over-
seas rotation, recruitment, and career service
activities became possible.
Efforts were continued to accomplish
the objective established by the Chief of the
Procurement and Supply Office* to obtain juris-
diction over logistics positions in other Agency
components. The first step toward accomplishment
of this objective within the Support Directorate

came in the fall of 1955 when Logistics Career
Service Designations were assigned to those logistics
positions that were in the Office of Training. 23/
The next move in this direction was in December 1958,
when the Office of Logistics received a list from
the Office of Personnel's Position Evaluation
Division of all positions to which the Logistics
designation would be applied in implementing Agency
(14 November 1958) , which
prescribed a revised system for Agency manpower
authorization and control. The p rincipal charac-
teristics of the new system were listed in the
regulation as follows:
(1) Differentiation between manpower
assigned to carry the day-to-day
operation workload and manpower
not so assigned.
(2) The identification of personnel
rec{uirements according to the Career
Service which will be responsible
for filling the rec{uirements.
(3) Establishment of personnel ceiling
according to Career Service rather
than component. Personnel ceilings
are established to limit the number
of persons who may be assigned to
each Career Service and will be
administered by the Heads of Career
Services.

H. Overseas Rotation and Directed Assignments
Beginning in 1955 it was possible for
the Office of Logistics to plan in advance more
effectively for the orderly selection and training
of replacements for overseas positions and to plan
for and advise field employees, prior to comple-
tion of their field tours, of their next assignments.
A quarterly report of career service activities
covering the period ending in December 1955 noted
that such rotational assignments were being planned
six months in advance; and in each case overlap
time was allowed in the field for adequate on-the-
job orientation of the new arrival before the re-
turnee departed.
From the time of the establishment of
the Office the selection of logistics personnel
for overseas assignments presented difficulties.
Many employees had entered on duty before the
career service concept, and -- for family or other
personal reasons -- they were not interested in
serving overseas. Many employees with reservations
about overseas duty had to be persuaded, reassigned,

or released to other components where such service
was not required; and there also were a few resigna-
tions, transfers to other Government Agencies, and
terminations -- the terminations were pursuant to
the authority given the DCI in Section 102(c)
of the National Security Act of 1947.* One ex-
ample of such termination resulting from the refusal
of an SL designee to accept first an overseas
assignment and then a domestic assignment is
summarized as follows:
In March 1956 subject, married with no
children, GS-11, member of the Career
Staff, was selected for an overseas
assignment which he de-
clined to accept since his mother was
ill and aged. The Logistics Career
Board considered subject's reasons and
accepted them on compassionate grounds.
In March 1957 subject was requested to
acce t an assignment
He declined on the premise
that such assignment would "thwart my
primary intention, viz., of seeking
employment outside of Logistics."
Efforts to locate a suitable reassignment
for subject had been unsuccessful and

of any officer or employee of the Agency whenever
he shall deem such termination necessary or advis-
able in the interests of the United States ."

he had been so notified. In April 1957,
the Director of Logistics requested that
subject be separated. His employment
with the Agency was terminated effective
21 June 1957.
There were other instances in which employees -
after reluctantly accepting an initial assignment
overseas -- found that they preferred additional
field tours to serving in Headquarters. As employees
became aware of the OL policy regarding overseas
service and its effect upon career progression,
and after rotation was made a condition for recruit-
ment into certain positions, some of these problems
lessened.
I. Development of Logistics Training Program
In evaluating logistics personnel require-
ments against available logistics personnel between
1950 and 1953, it became apparent to the Director
of Logistics that many of the available personnel
either were not qualified for their positions or
their qualifications were so limited that reassign-
ment or rotation was impossible. As a result,
emphasis was placed on developing a long-range
training program to prepare personnel for assign-
ment to overseas positions.

Before the close of fiscal year 1954
an extensive training program was underway.
Individual indoctrination programs were developed
for 48 administrative and logistics personnel
ranging from grade GS-07 to GS-15 from other
Agency components. These ranged in time from
one-half day to two or more weeks, based on the
individuals' particular interests and responsi-
bilities. Group orientation training programs
of one day's duration were developed for OL
employees to increase their knowledge of head-
quarters and field responsibilities of the Office
of Logistics. Each session consisted of lectures
by the training officer and a tour of the
25X1
warehouse. Other miscellaneous specialized
training was arranged for individuals.
A major highlight among the early
training activities was the development in 1953
of a six-week Logistics Support Course 27/ with
the primary objective of providing headquarters
and field training in field supply procedures

for Logistics Officers destined for overseas
duty. A secondary objective was to provide them
with a well rounded picture of headquarters
logistical operations. The course was divided
into two phases: the first three weeks were
held in Headquarters and approximately 30
Logistics personnel served as part-time instructors.
The last three weeks were held
and 25X1 A
consisted of on-the-job training in stock control
and warehousing, operational training in caching,
air support, and maritime support. The first
course began on 9 November 1953 with a total of
seven students. The plan for the course was
changed in September 1955 to include a greater
emphasis on formal logistics training at Head-
quarters. This phase was lengthened to four
weeks, and the Field Phase was revised and condensed
into a two-week program. Between November 1953
and January 1957 the course was given a total of
11 times. A total of 171 students attended the
program. Successful completion of the course
was by then a basic requirement for all .Logistics

personnel prior to overseas assignment. It was
revised over the years to meet changing require-
ments.
Added emphasis was placed on training
activities in 1955 when General Charles P. Cabell,
Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, established
the policy that five percent of all Agency personnel
would be in some type of training status at all
times. 28/
Because of the increasing need for
coverage of administrative support subjects in
various courses conducted by the Office of Training
(OT R), the DDS determined in 1955 that an adequate
supply of instructors trained and qualified to
teach subject matter peculiar to the DDS organ-
ization would be transferred to the Office of
Training as full-time instructors. Each such
instructor was to remain with OTR's Intelligence
School for a period of 30 months, after which he
would return to his parent office and be replaced
by a designee from the same career service.
The DDS asked the Director of Training to furnish
him with a statement of present and foreseeable
requirements for such special instructors; and --

because of the increased need for additional logis-
tical coverage in basic, advanced, and specialized
courses -- one qualified instructor from OL was
included in the requirements. In his memorandum
to the D/L dated 16 March 1955, the DDS formally
requested the nomination of a candidate. 29/

Although OL had been making increasing
use of both Agency and non-Agency training facil-
ities and had shown a steady increase in both the
number of personnel engaged in training activities
and the total amount of time spent in training, it
fell short of the five-percent requirement. As a
result on 24 January 1957 the Director of Logistics
established quotas for each OL Division and Staff

courses at all times. 30/ OL finally met the
five-percent requirement in September 1957.
After several years of enforcing the Agency policy,
individuals who had previously resisted educational
opportunities or training assignments began to seek
these training opportunities in the interest of
broadening their own career possibilities. In-
dividuals who had been considered specialists began
to see that their specializations restricted their
flexibility and development; as a result they
sought to broaden the scope of their qualifications
by taking advantage of available training oppor-
tunities.
The Logistics Support Course was conducted
within the Office of Logistics until April 1966,
when the thirty-first course was given. An OTR
catalog description of the course content as it
had been revised to that date is included in
Appendix B. During the 1953-66 period a total
of 327 students attended the Logistics Support
Course. As a result of the assignment of a logistics

the logistics coverage in the various courses
conducted by OTR had been revised and expanded;
and a new course was developed called Field
Finance and Logistics. This course included a
full week of logistics coverage and was targeted
toward support and administrative personnel being
assigned to overseas stations. As a result
it was determined in March 1967 that the logistics
coverage included in that course was adec{uate
for logistics rotatees and that the Logistics
Support Course could be discontinued.

develop individual employees and to improve the
c{uality of logistics support personnel. These

1964 and was attended by 24 people. This seminar
examined the principles of contract negotiation,
administration, termination, and legal responsibilities.
Other programs provided subject matter and training
of a more general logistics nature, such as the
Logistics Orientation and the Logistics Seminar.*
As shown in Appendix B, training programs were
also developed to improve the quality of service
personnel, those serving in courier, telephone
operator, printing, warehousing, and clerical
functions.
Employees were also scheduled for internal
OTR courses in administrative procedures, super-
vision, and management and in external training
* See Appendix B, pp. 117-118, for description of

as appropriate for their present or projected
assignments. By 1959 it was reported that 4.4
percent of the total SL Career Service had com-
pleted basic and advanced writing courses con-
ducted in the Agency, approximately 6.8 percent
had already completed courses in supervision, and
8.2 percent had completed management courses of
various types. During the 1954-70 period a
ISL careerists had been enrolled in
some type of supervision or management training.
By 1970 some of the individuals included in this
count had retired, resigned, or transferred to
other Career Services; but it was estimated by
the OL Training Officer,
that 75 to 80 percent of those employees in
supervisory and management positions in 1970
had had some training in those fields. Some of
the courses used were the following:
1. Internal OTR Courses:
a. Administrative Procedures.

these individuals were in the grade range from
GS-04 through GS-09 and were selected by their
supervisors.
b. Supervision. A total of 227
SL careerists (GS-04 through GS-10) attended from
1954 through 1970. They were selected for the
most part by OL Division, Staff, Branch, and
Section Chiefs. In addition, 18 employees of
Supply Division, attended a
special supervision seminar given by the OTR
Support School at thel I The length
of this seminar was 12 hours.
c. Management. A total of 151
SL careerists (GS-11 through GS-14) attended
during the period from 1954 through 1970.
These individuals were selected for attendance
by OL Staff, Division, and Branch Chiefs.
d. Managerial Grid Seminar.
Forty SL careerists (GS-12 through GS-16) attended
during the 1967-70 period. Selections were made
by OL Staff and Division Chiefs and, in the case
of GS-16's, by the Director of Logistics.

3. Senior Service Schools and Other
Prestige Training Courses:
Senior SL careerists were also sent
to senior service schools, as shown in Appendix D.
Selection criteria for attendance at these courses
is established by the sponsoring institution and
senior management of the Agency. An invitation
to submit nominations to senior officer schools
is received from the Chairman of the Training
Selection Board through the Senior Training
Officer of DDS, usually a year in advance of the
actual school starting date. Exceptions to this
are the Armed Forces Staff College, which has two
five-month sessions per year (February-June and
August-January) and the Advanced Management
Program at Harvard University, which has two
13-week sessions per year (spring and fall).
Upon receipt of the invitation, a list of all
SL careerists who are eligible by established
criteria is prepared by the OL Training Officer,
and a copy of the Biographic Profile of each is
attached. OL Division and Staff Chiefs are
invited to submit any nominations they feel are

appropriate. The names of the eligible candidates,
together with the nominations suggested by the OL
Division and Staff Chiefs, are submitted by the
OL Training Officer to the Director of Logistics
for approval. Those officers approved by the
Director of Logistics are nominated to the DDS
after discussions have been held by the OL
Training Officer with the individuals concerned to
ensure that they are interested and want to attend.
The DDS conducts a screening exercise of all DDS
nominees. Those selected as a result of this
screening are then nominated by the DDS to the
Agency Training Selection Board (consisting of
the Director of Training as Chairman and one
member from each of the Directorates -- Intel-
ligence, Plans, Support, and Science and Technology)
for their action. The Training Selection Board
makes its selections and then sends them to the
Executive Director-Comptroller for approval.
After action by the Executive Director-Comptroller,
notification of approval or disapproval of the
OL nominations comes back through the Executive

Director of Logistics.
In some instances, when personnel
recruitment efforts failed to produce c{ualified
people for specialist assignments and during
periods when OL was faced with tight personnel
ceilings, competent employees were selected and
arrangements were made for them to be trained in
the specialties for which rec{uirements existed.
One example of developing specialists was the
Ordnance Technician field, where employee qual-
ifications were developed through internal
training and by scheduling external training
in certain facets of ordnance operations.
Some of the training courses given to develop
Ordnance Technicians were
1. Internal:
a. Supervision or Management - 1 week
b. Operations Support - 3 weeks
c, - 4 weeks

Another example of specialist positions
for which competent employees were trained and
developed was in the procurement and contract
negotiator fields. There are probably more
different courses and seminars offered and utilized
in the procurement/contracting field than in any
other profession in the Office of Logistics.
For purposes of economy and value received, OL
made great use of those offered by other government
Agencies. Appendix F includes detailed descriptions
of the courses most frequently used by OL, which
are listed as follows*:
1. Contract Law - two-week course given
y t e Department of Air Force at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
* The first three courses listed have been used by
OL as a package to train new people for the procure-
ment/contracting field, as well as to update those
employees with some experience. From 1953 through
1970 a total of 35 SL careerists attended them.

Logistics Career Service. That year the Office
of Logistics ranked first in total numbers of
students in internal training and second in
total numbers in external training among the
Offices of the DDS. During calendar year 1968
almost one of every two SL Careerists was enrolled
in some kind of training. During Fiscal Year 1969
a total of 430 individuals were in training courses.
J. Junior Logistics Officer Development
Young college graduates had been re-
cruited directly for OL "specialist" positions,
such as architect, engineer, contract negotiator,
and freight traffic officer; but, for the most
part, other logistics positions were filled by
promotion from the ranks or by applicants with
military or civilian experience in the particular
phases or field of work involved, such as supply,
cataloging, stock management, and warehousing.
* See Appendix G for a special report of employees
of the DDS Offices who were engaged in various cat-
egories of external training during FY-67 and
FY-68, and Appendix H for a list of the external
training courses attended by SL careerists during
the Jan-Jun 1970 period.

For the most part the latter had only high
school educations; therefore, although with
experience and training on the j ob they were
able to progress upward, they lacked the talents
required to rise to "generalist" and senior
managerial positions in the Office of Logistics
and the Logistics Career Service.
OL management officials recognized the
fact that the Logistics Career Service could
expect to lose a considerable number of careerists
in generalist and senior managerial positions
because of retirement in the coming years , and
they foresaw the need to establish a broader,
more comprehensive program for the recruitment,
training, and development in general logistics
functions of young officers to replenish the
professional ranks in the Logistics Career
Service and to provide a reservoir of qualified
officers for ultimate selection to fill senior
managerial positions. On 16 November 1961,
therefore, the Office of Logistics launched

submitting a request to the Office of Personnel
for the recruitment of young college graduates
between the ages of 21 and 36 with degrees in
business administration, law, accounting, or
engineering; major or specialized courses in
transportation, marketing, or economics were
also desirable. The goal was to recruit and enter
on duty annually up to ten such junior officers
who would constitute the prime source for long-
range career development as potential "generalists"
in the logistics field. This quota was based on
projections designed to maintain a healthy age
curve as well as to contribute to the vitality
of the Logistics Career Service. This became
the only recruitment for OL professional personnel
being done at that time.
The grades at which the LOT recruits
were brought on duty ranged from GS-07 to GS-10,
depending upon their academic and experience
qualifications. Their willingness to serve
wherever and whenever required on either TDY or
PCS was also a condition of their employment.

Upon entrance on duty they were assigned to the
Headquarters area; and following a period of
approximately nine months, during which they were
engaged in indoctrination and in formal and on-
the-job training, they were placed in OL operating
components for full-time duty. Atypical training
program for an LOT is as follows:
Formal Training Courses:
Introduction to Intelligence 2 weeks
Introduction to Communism 2 weeks
Operations Support 4 weeks
Field Finance and Logistics 3 weeks
Logistics Support 3 weeks
Writing Workshop 4 weeks
(parttime)
Supervision 1 week

the GS-09 level, they entered the Logistics Career
Service competitive area and were considered during
the Logistics Career Service regular competitive
promotion reviews along with all other Logistics
careerists at the same grade level.
The first LOT entered on duty in OL
on 28 January 1962, and during that first year
a total of seven reported on board. Nine entered
on duty during 1963, and by the end of 1964 a
total of 22 had entered on duty under the LOT
Program. The program was proving to be successful;
the LOT 's demonstrated an interest in logistics
as a career, and they contributed substantially
to the conduct of the logistics mission. In December
1964 nine of the total of 22 were serving in logis-
tics support positions in other Agency components.

overseas positions during the summer of 1965.
Up to that date, only five had left the Agency --
one to enter military service, one because of
family illness, and three to seek other employment.
During 1965 two more LOT 's entered on
duty, during 1966 four, during 1967 three, and
the last one reported 19 February 1968. This
brought the total number to come on board under
the LOT Program to 32. As of 31 December 1969,
17 were still with the Agency; 13 of these were
still members of the Logistics Career Service,
and four had applied, been accepted, and trans-
ferred into the Agency Junior Officer Training
(JOT) Program under the Office of Training.
The LOT Program became less active,
and the number of LOT's brought on board de-
clined early in 1965. This was initially the
result of the Office of Logistics getting severe
personnel ceiling cuts -- 15 in FY 1966, 32 in
FY 1967, and an additional 2-percent cut of 18
in FY 1968. During this same period, however,

(from which the Support Officer Career Trainee
Program emerged) was providing more individuals
to the Support Offices. Before that time only
one JOT had been assigned to OL -- in 1957.
Since the beginning of the JOT Program,
which was inaugurated in 1951, it had been oriented
more toward the development of generalists for
basic intelligence assignments; and the JOT
graduates, for the most part, were assigned to
DDP or to the Office of Current Intelligence
' 25X1A or the
with a very limited number assigned to the Offices
of the Support Directorate. As the JOT program
was later expanded, the DDS quota of JOT's was
increased; and as JOT training courses were
designed that would be more effective for the
Support Offices, more JOT's became available
to OL.
The Office of Logistics received its
second JOT in 1964, two more in 1966, eleven in
1967, eight in 1968, and four in 1969. In 1968
OL determined that the increased input of JOT's

would be sufficient in the future to satisfy the
OL requirement for junior officers and that the
LOT Program would be discontinued. By 31 December
1969, of the total of 27 JOT 's (now referred to
as CT's) brought into OL, only seven had resigned
from the Agency. Fifteen of the 20 remaining on
duty were still SL careerists.
Because the CT's were fully trained as
far as formal training courses were concerned
when they were assigned to OL, no formal OL
training programs, as such, were established for
them other than briefings, orientation, and periods
of on-the-job training in each of the various OL
components. Upon arrival in OL the CT received
a briefing by the Director or Deputy Director of
Logistics and was given orientation by the Chief
of the Personnel and Training Staff and the OL
Training Officer. He was then scheduled to spend
some time in each OL Staff and Division, the
length of time in each being determined by his
assignment. For example, a CT expected to report
to OL for assignment to the Supply Division, might
have been scheduled for the following:

IV. Career Planning and Progression of Logistics
Employees
A. Reassignments Between Career Services
As their Agency employment continued,
some employees naturally developed qualifications,
education, or interests outside of the logistics
field. In these instances the Personnel and
Training Staff attempted to locate and place
them in career fields in which they were best
qualified. Likewise, employees of other career
services developed qualifications and interests
in Logistics careers. During the period including
Fiscal Years 1960 through 1969, a total of 205
Agency employees changed their careers to Logistics,
and 207 were transferred from SL to other career
services. As shown in Table 3,* this movement of
Agency employees between the Logistics and other
Career Services involved all Directorates of the
Agency. It included employees from the Grade
GS-03 and wage-board grades up through the GS-15
level. Among these were several logistics des-
ignees who had progressed and broadened their

had moved to the Support Career Service where there
were greater growth possibilities. The Office
of Logistics also was able to pick up several
engineers and contract negotiators from other
career services, as well as clericals and junior
level employees, to fill various vacancies.
B. Career Progression of Logistics Designees
1. Development to Senior Levels
The establishment of the Career Service
Program in the Agency and the rotational assignment
of officers among the several career services enabled
the Office of Logistics to organize and carry out
a successful career training, development, rotation,
and progression program for its careerists. Many
people have been developed in this program and have
progressed to senior level positions in the
Logistics Career Service.
As of 31 December 1969 there was
a total of 18 supergrade positions assigned SL
service designations. Of this total, only three,
in addition to those of the Director and Deputy

All of the SL careerists occupying supergrade
positions at that time had completed overseas
Office of the Office of Logistics. With the
exception of three who had entered the Logistics
Career Service at the GS-14 level, all SL in-

2. Courier Reassignment and Progression
Program
An example of efforts to plan assign-
ments and career progression of lower grade employees
is the courier reassignment and progression program
started before 1954. The purpose of this program
was to benefit (1) the Office and Agency by re-
taining high-attrition personnel, and (2) the
employees by providing career opportunities for
them. This program, administered by the Personnel
and Training Staff of OL and the Chief of the
Mail and Courier Branch of OL, was based upon the
conclusion that the courier service was a training
ground for new Agency employees of the GS-03
and GS-04 levels. A courier position was considered
a good place to learn the Agency organization
and the location of various components, and it

was a good job for young men while they were
continuing their education at night to increase
their qualifications for future service with
the Agency.
Courier positions were established
at grades GS-03 through GS-05 (and later GS-06,
also, with three at the GS-07 supervisory level)
based upon progressively more responsible duties
at each higher level, which provided a promotion
ladder for courier development and advancement.
Positions at and above the GS-OS level were
filled, with a very few exceptions, by promotion
from within the courier service; and recruitment
was at the GS-03 and GS-04 levels.
The qualifications for couriers were
a minimum of high school graduation, satisfactory
scores on clerical aptitude tests, and possession
of valid driving licenses and good driving records.
Good physical condition was also a prerequisite
because the job required considerable walking,
carrying of heavy briefcases and bundles of mail,
climbing stairs, and heavy lifting of mail bags or

bulk mail on and off the mail trucks. OL desired
applicants with potential for movement to other
than courier positions after they had served a
reasonable period so that each time anew courier
entered on duty one courier could be released for
reassignment.
High school graduates were brought in
at the GS-03 level; if they had completed their
military service obligation, they were hired at
the GS-04 level. The GS-03 couriers became eli-
gible for promotion after completion of a minimum
of three months satisfactory service in the Mail
and Courier Branch, the GS-04's after a minimum
of six months; and at least one year in grade was
required for promotion to GS-06 and higher.
Advancement above the GS-04 level was also depen-
dent upon vacant positions at the higher grades.
Selection for promotion to such vacancies was
based on the following factors:
(1) Best qualified with respect
to experience, training, per-
sonality, dependability, con-
duct on the job, and demon-
strated overall effectiveness
in performance .

(2) Length of satisfactory service
in grade.
(3) Length of satisfactory service
in the Agency.
Factor (1) increased in importance with the grade
and the importance of the job to be filled.
Factors (Z) and (3) were the determining factors
if factor (1) was considered equal. All courier
personnel were given to understand, however, that
no promotion would be made based solely on senior-
ity; employees with longer service might be passed
over if their performance had not been satisfactory.
A list of couriers was maintained in
the Personnel and Training Branch, arranged in
the order in which they had reported for duty in
the Mail and Courier Branch; the list included
information regarding their promotions, educational
and other qualifications, marital status, interest
in overseas, career interests, and any other infor-
mation useful in their placement in other assign-
ments. Positions were sought for each as his
name came up on the list -- first within the

satisfactory or appropriate assignment did not
exist there, attempts were made to locate positions
in other Agency components through other component
personnel officers or the Office of Personnel
placement officers. Assignments were arranged
in advance so that as replacements reported for
duty to OL the couriers would be released for
their new assignments. This system became
known to other Agency components after several
couriers were placed; and as a result the Personnel
and Training Branch would be called directly by
components expecting a vacancy for which OL might
have a courier who would qualify. If such a
vacancy required special skills =- drafting,
for example -- OL would review the listing of
those couriers who had been on duty more than
one year to determine if anyone qualified.
Referral of candidates was made without regard
to the order of release list. Likewise, if an
unexpected and urgent need arose to fill a supply
clerk or other type of position in the Logistics
Career Service, the couriers would be considered

If those on the top of the list did not qualify
because their grades were too high, their per-
formance deficient, or they were not interested,
the next ones down the list would be considered
until someone was selected.
When applicants were interviewed
for courier positions, they were advised of the
duties of the positions, the progression oppor-
tunities available within the courier service,
and the courier reassignment program. They were
advised that they were being recruited for courier
positions initially but that this could be con-
sidered a stepping stone to positions leading
to other careers in the Agency, depending on
their qualifications and the positions available
when their turns for reassignment came up.
Because of the possibility of recruitment diffi-
culties at times, applicants had to agree to
remain as couriers for at least a year, with the
understanding that their reassignments would be
subject to replacements in the Mail and Courier
Branch.

The biggest problem in administering
the program was the difficulty in recruiting
enough couriers and maintaining a continuous
flow of replacements for courier losses. The lack
of adec{uate replacements sometimes has made it
impossible to release couriers for reassignment
when positions have been available for them.
In October 1969 a cursory review
of the career progression of some former OL courier
personnel still on duty with the Agency revealed
that there were 67 who had advanced from GS-03
and GS-04 to grades GS-07 through GS-15. Fifty-
two of these were still members of the SL Career
Service in various logistics fields located in
both the United States and overseas; and 15 had
advanced in various other career fields. 31/
An outstanding example was the movement of one
former OL courier:
This individual entered on duty
in OL (SL Career Service) as a GS-3
Courier on 2 February 1953 and was
promoted to GS-4 in May 1953. He
transferred to the Office of Cur-
rent Intelligence and the IC Career
Service as a GS-4 courier in~Febru-
ary 1954 and, while with that Office,

obtained an LLB degree in 1955.
By July 1956 he had advanced to
the GS-9 level as an Intelligence
Officer and then returned to the
Office of Logistics and the SL
Career Service and was placed in
the Procurement Division as a
Contract Administrator. As of
18 August 1966 he was assigned
as a GS-14 to the position of
Chief, Procurement
Office, of the Office of Logis-
tics, Procurement Division. He
received a promotion to GS-15
effective 29 December 1968 and
is scheduled in the summer of
1971 for reassignment to the
GS-17 position of Chief, Procure-
ment Division, OL.
3. Progression of Wage-Board Employees
The laborers, bindery workers,
and other wage-board employees also presented
a problem for OL management. With their very
limited educational backgrounds (many had not
completed grade school) , opportunities for job
progression were limited, and attrition rates
climbed as morale declined. It was decided by
OL management and personnel officials that
qualification requirements for recruiting these
employees should be revised upward in the ex-
pectation that the people were trainable and
that they would be attracted to stay if

developmental opportunities were open to them.
In 1959 or 1960 the minimum education-
al requirements were advanced to require completion
of high school. This proved successful, and men
who entered on duty as laborers were advanced to
higher grade wage-board positions such as fork-
lift truck operator, packer, crater, and ware-
houseman; bindery workers were advanced to other
positions in the printing field such as photo-
grapher, photostat operator, and offset press
operator; still others, depending on their capa-
bilities and interests, were advanced to clerical
work such as property and supply clerk, store-
keeper, courier or to other positions in the Office.
The change in minimum qualifications
also made it possible to place employees in other
components where positions more to their liking
existed, thus salvaging more employees to the
Agency -- and saving the Agency's investment in
the initial clearance processing. Many of the
employees who entered on duty after this change
in qualification requirements are now scattered

throughout the Logistics Career Service -- in
addition to those in OL, some are serving in
other Agency components at headquarters
vanced in grade up to and including GS-09.
One bindery worker, in fact, had advanced to
GS-12 as of 7 September 1969. Other wage-board
employees have been converted to GS and have
been trained and promoted in new fields such as
from chauffeurs to couriers, and from mechanics
to space maintenance and administrative services
positions. In the latter group some have even
served tours in logistics positions overseas.
The Office was forced to reduce
the qualification requirement levels somewhat
in 1966 because of the extreme shortage of
available young, qualified, male applicants and the
loss of young male employees who were called to
active military service.
These progression plans for couriers
and wage-board personnel, together with the Logis-
tics Officer Training Program,* resulted in the

majority of positions in OL being filled by
promotion from within, thus limiting outside
recruitment to the lowest levels and to junior
officer personnel.
4. Minority Groups in the Office of
Logistics
The Office of Logistics has always
included members of minority groups, but specific
programs were not devised exclusively for these
personnel. The programs just described included
people of all races, and personnel considerations
have been based on qualifications. Requests for
recruitment levied upon the Office of Personnel
for employees for OL have not -- with one exception
mentioned later -- discriminated among races.
All applicants have been given the same consider-
ation for employment by the Personnel and Training
Staff; all applicants with the basic qualifications
sought were given equal consideration.
Over the years, however, recruitment
has resulted for the most part in black employees
entering on duty in the clerical, wage-board,
printing, and lower graded positions. Blacks rarely

they were very rarely referred for Office of
Logistics consideration. One black applicant,
however, was referred for a position of Elec-
trical Engineer and was interviewed and placed
in process at the GS-09 level on 19 February 1969.
When his full clearance was completed and he was
contacted to establish an entrance-on-duty date,
he declined for personal family reasons. In August
1969 a specific rec{uest was levied upon the Office
of Personnel for a young black college graduate
with a degree in printing management, age 21 to
35, who could be brought on duty at the GS-07 to
GS-09 level to be trained and developed for ul-
timate progression to a managerial position in
the Printing Services Division. As of 30 May 1971
this recruitment rec{uest had not been filled.

ability retirements, three regular resignations,

During this period thirteen white employees also
resigned in lieu of termination. During this

V. Fluctuations in Total Office Ceiling and Strength
The scope of Personnel and Training Staff func-
tions is determined and influenced by the logistics
support requirements placed upon the Office as they
affect personnel staffing needs, the problems
generated by the various categories and levels
of personnel employed, the ceiling restrictions
imposed within the Agency as a result of external
pressures, and world situations in areas where
there are Agency logistics support activities.
Increases and reductions in the numbers of employees
authorized and on duty in the Office of Logistics
and in the Logistics Career Service are shown

and ceiling changes affecting the total Office
personnel strength since the completion of the

Fluctuations in personnel ceilings necessitated
periodic adjustments of the T/O's of the various
Divisions and Staffs of the Office, and the lack
of funds for logistics purposes required periodic
"belt tightening" to a point that paradoxically
required getting more work out of fewer people.
Programs had to be streamlined; new production
techniques had to be developed in various logis-
tical activities; and, wherever possible, ceiling
objectives had to be met by attrition and reduced
recruitment. The intake of new employees had
to be limited to the service personnel required
for Agency he adquarters support and a few highly
specialized categories not available from within

VI. SUMMARY
As in any staff function, the success of
personnel management and training functions can
be measured only by the relative success and over-
all accomplishments of the organizational elements
in which they are located. In retrospect it
appears that the multitude of early problems of
the Office of Logistics stemmed from the rapid
reorganizations and organizational growth and the
lack of a well defined career service program in
the Agency. The career service concept proved to
be a valuable, but a far-sighted, long-range con-
cept; and several years were required to maneuver

As related in this paper it must be apparent
that the Office of Logistics as it existed in 1969
was the result of a very humble, confused, frustrated
beginning which, over the years, developed into a
relatively well organized operation. It has provided
career development, training, and progression for
its employees; and the Office has successfully met
its personnel obligations and requirements both
within and outside the Office.

ment wage board or similar administrative author-
ity in accordance with prevailing rates in com-
parable industry in a prescribed wage locality.
Such employees are exempt from coverage of the
Classification Act.
B. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING AGENCY WAGE
ADMINISTRATION PAY PLANS:

Government agencies, to assure equal pay for sub-
stantially equal work; and maintain pay distinctions
in keeping with work distinctions.
2. The Director of Personnel, through his
Position Management and Compensation Division, is
responsible for selecting appropriate Wage Admin-
istration Pay Plans, for approval of the Wage
Schedules for use by the Agency, and for issuing
current prevailing basic rate schedules for
Agency employees.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING (GP)
1. DEFINITION OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING (GP) SCHEDULE:
This is a general full journeyman printing
salary schedule which establishes rates according
to job title, trade, or craft, rather than by grades.
The GP rate schedule used in CIA is based on wage
rate determinations made in the Government Printing
Office, which is the largest single employer of
printers (6,000 to 8,000) in the D. C. metropolitan
area.
2. GP POSITIONS IN OFFICE OF LOGISTICS:
The GP positions existing in our Printing
Services Division are categorized as follows:
a.
Foreman and Shift Supervisors
b.
Journeymen,
visors
Specialists and Super-
c.
Apprentices
and Sub-Journeymen
d.
Printing Plant Workers - Skilled
Laborers (Bindery Workers and
Operatives)

3. DESCRIPTION OF ABOVE POSITIONS:
a. A Journeyman is a fully c{ualified worker
in an apprenticeable trade recognized as such by
the Joint Committee on Printing. He is compensated
at a flat rate for the speciality involved and no

step increases are authorized.
b. In accordance with GPO pay administration
guides the positions of working leaders, supervisors
and specialists, and Foremen are allocated to rates
that, for administration, are usually a percentage
above the Journeyman trade and craft positions.
These positions require journeyman qualifications
and experience and include supervisory, staff, or
planner-type responsibilities.
c. Apprentices are trainees required to work
a total of four years in their particular craft
and are compensated at a percentage of the journey-
man rate based on previous experience, i.e. 1st
1/2-year 550, second 1/2-year 60%, 2nd year 700,
3rd year 80%, and 4th year 900 of their assigned
craft rate. After completion of one year at the
900 level the apprentice may, upon certification
by his Foreman and subject to an available vacant
Journeyman position of his craft, be advanced to
Journeyman level (100%).

helpers in composing, press and bindery operations.
These include Bindery Assistant Worker positions
classified in grades 1 through 4 at single rates
with no step pattern, and Operative positions from
Grade 1 through Grade 5 with three steps in each
grade.
4. HOW ADJUSTMENTS ARE EFFECTED IN GP PAY RATES:
a. Under authority of the Kiess Act (U.S.C.
Title 44, Sec 40), the Public Printer conducts
wage conferences and negotiations with employee
committees made up of 10 or more Journeymen from
within the Government Printing Office and the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing representing
each craft. The Public Printer makes wage offers
based on the weighte d average furnished by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on union scales in
book and job shops of the graphic arts trades for
the 25 largest cities by population which includes
employer contributions for welfare and pension, or
the local Washington, D. C. book and job scale,
using the same formula, whichever is the larger.

for a wage conference, or when the Bureau of Labor
Statistics furnishes inadequate information, or when
the information available is based on pay for work
that is dissimilar to that done in the Government
Printing Office, the craft concerned is paid the
hourly rate of the largest group of GPO Journeymen
for which adequate data is available.
b. The results of the conferences are sub-
mitted to the. Joint Committee on Printing which
approves the rates to be applied. Skilled Laborer
rates are determined by the Public Printer without
referral to the Joint Committee on Printing.
c. Notification to CIA of the approved
adjusted rates is usually by a copy of the Public
Printer's Order granting the increases, which is
forwarded to CIA by GPO.

LITHOGRAPHIC WAGE BOARD (LB)
1. DEFINITION OF LITHOGRAPHIC WAGE BOARD (LB):
a. This is a graded schedule, like GS,
consisting of grades from LB-1 through LB-34, with
3 step rates within each grade (OL currently
uses grades LB-4 through LB-23). The middle rate
is keyed to the prevailing rate pay line and a
4 percent difference is established between the
separate step rates.
b. This schedule covers lithographic
positions located within a printing plant which
have been previously determined by the Civil
Service Commission, as a result of past Government-
wide surveys of such positions to be appropriately
excluded from the Classification Act. These include
positions involving duplicating, offset reproduction,
and map plant printing done in independent Agencies
(such as Federal Trade Commission, Interstate
Commerce Commission, Federal Power Commission, etc.)
and Government Departments (State, Navy, etc.).

Board, in coordination with the Civil Service
Commission, conducts surveys, releases standards

who are charter members - primarily map reproduc-
tion agencies (i.e., Army Topographic Service,
Coast and Geodetic Survey, Geological Survey,
Soil Conservation Service/Department of Agricul-
ture, General Services Administration, and the
Hydrographic Office/Department of Navy), plus
elected representatives from 2 large, 2 medium,
and 1 small administrative printing plant.
The Post Office Department, which has few employees
in these fields, is considered among the small agen-
cies. ILWB distributes advance copies of the pro-
posed revised wage rate schedule to participating
member agencies for their budgetary or other con-
siderations and comment prior to establishing an
effective date. After their reviews ILWB grants
final approval, establishes the effective date,

and the revised rate schedule is published by
the DOD Wage Fixing Authority, from whom CIA
receives an official copy. (To guard any
figures which would reveal Agency numbers of
positions or personnel, CIA, like FAA and
other organizations with fewer such positions,
does not participate as a full member of ILWB
and therefore does not receive an advance copy
but must wait until the schedule is given an

COORDINATED FEDERAL WAGE SYSTEM (CFWS)
1. DEFINITION
a. The Coordinate d Federal Wage System
provides common policies, systems, practices and
job grading standards for uniform application by
all executive departments and agencies in fixing
pay for wage board employees in recognized trades
or crafts, other skilled mechanical crafts or in
unskilled, semiskilled, or skilled manual labor
occupations, and other employees including fore-
men and supervisors in positions having trade,
craft, or laboring experience and knowledge as
the paramount requirement. Ordinarily, regular
wage schedules set the pay of all wage board
employees in a local wage area for jobs which
are common to both industry and Government and
job descriptions are keyed to industrial work
situations and are also representative of wage
board occupations and work levels in the Federal
service.
b. Regular schedules (nonsupervisory, leader
and supervisory), including basic wage rates and

night shift differentials, are established for
each local wage area. Special schedules or rates
are established where they are necessary and
justified due to existing conditions. Unless
specifically excluded by the CSC under the special
schedule criterion, all wage board employees
within a local wage area are paid rates from the
appropriate regular wage schedules, including
food service, custodial, and laundry occupations.
A local wage area is a geographic area defined
by CSC within which a single set of wage schedules
is applied uniformly by Federal installations to
covered occupations.
c. The regular locality wage schedules
(which are currently used in OL) have grade
structures as follows:
Nonsupervisory or Worker (W) Grades 1 through 15
schedule (3 step rates in
each)
Leader schedule (L) Grades 1 through 15
(3 step rates in
each)
Supervisory schedule (S) Grades 1 through 17
(5 step rates in
each)
The Nonsupervisory or Worker (W) and Leader (L) wage
schedules each have 3 step rates of pay in each grade

level, with the second step as the determined
prevailing rate payline and the first and third
step rates at 96 percent and 104 percent, respe c-
tively, of the second step rate. The Supervisory
(S) wage schedule has 5 steps, the third step
being the prevailing rate payline, with 5 percent
difference between each step, making the first
step 90 percent and the fifth step 110 percent
of the prevailing rate payline.
d. Basis for wage rates:
(1) Wage rates for nonsupervisory
schedules reflect the general level of rates paid
by private employers in the same local wage area
for kinds and levels of work performed in the
Federal service.
(2) Wage rates for leader and super-
visory schedules are derived from the rates of the
regular nonsupervisory schedules by means of
established formulas which, when used in conjunc-
tion with the separate leader and supervisory
grading plans and structures, provide pay differ-
entials above the rates of workers led or supervised
which are reasonably in line with those in private
industry.

(3) Each regular wage schedule also
contains separately stated night shift differen-
tials which are paid in addition to basic wage
rates for work on second and third shifts.
The amounts of the differential are determined in
accordance with prevailing industrial practices
in the local wage area.
e. Within the Office of Logistics the W,
L, and S schedules have been applied to the following
types of positions:
Automotive Mechanic Chauffeur
Box Assembler Forklift Truck

for the system.
b. The Civil Service Commission prescribes
standard practices and procedures for conducting
local wage surveys, for analyzing wage survey
data, and for developing authorized wage schedules
under the CFWS.
c. The CSC defines the boundaries of in-
dividual local wage areas; designates the lead
agency for each such area; prescribes requirements
for the statistical design and accomplishment
of wage surveys and for the establishment of pay
schedules; establishes occupational grouping,
titling and job grading system; develops and
issues job grading standards; and provides for
a continuing program of systems maintenance and
improvement designed to keep the wage system fully

d. A nationwide schedule of local wage
surveys to be conducted during each fiscal year
is developed jointly by the Commission and the
lead agencies indicating the month in which each
wage survey is scheduled to commence, taking
into consideration the best time in terms of
timing of wage adjustments in the principal
local private enterprise establishments, reasonable
distribution of workload of the lead agency,
timing of surveys for nearby or related local wage
areas, and scheduling relationships with other
salary and wage survey programs.
e. A designated lead agency (usually the
primary employer or agency with largest population
of Federal wage board employees in the local wage
area) plans and schedules wage surveys, analyzes
wage survey data, and develops and issues all
required wage schedules for the local wage area.
It collaborates with BLS on survey scheduling in
