MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Science and Technology
SUBJECT : Office of Computer Services
1. Qualified systems analysts and programmers are difficult to replace.
Therefore, at my direction, Mr. Echols, the Director of Personnel, personally
looked into the circumstances surrounding the resignation of a GS-12 professional
from the Office of Computer Services, rather than depend on the routine exit
interview. Mr. Echols' report is attached. You will see that it raises a number
of questions which I am confident you will wish to explore.
2. Quite aside from the Personnel aspects of the problem, I am deeply
concerned about the future prospects for the Support Directorate automatic data
processing requirements which at considerable expense and effort are now being
analyzed and integrated in preparation for programming. The DD/S program is
large; probably as large as the CHIVE program. It will serve all Directorates
and the Executive Staff in planning, programming, and budgeting activities,as
well as provide an automated system for management of personnel, property,
and financial resources. I should like reassurance that we are properly organized,
both within the Support Directorate and in the Directorate of Science and Technology,
to bring about the working relationships and cooperative effort necessary to achieve
our ADP goal.

3. Since this has Agency-wide ramifications, I am providing a copy of
this memorandum to the Executive Director-Comptroller with the thought that
resources available to him might usefully be focused on a re-examination of our
organizational and procedural problems.
