MEMORANDUM FOR SENATOR CHARLES E. GOODELL
Subject: PCB Expansion
Thank you for your status report of April 11, concerning PCB
expansion and areas where you feel need attention.
OMB has made repeated calls to all agencies to insure that
they meet the PCB personnel requests. As a result, 21 of the
22 agencies, including FEA, NLRB, Interior, have indicated
that they will complete these requirements by the end of this
week. We have been informed that Larry Baskir is negotiating
an understanding with DoD that will appreciably alter their
commitment. I also understand your staff is negotiating altera-
tion of personnel plans with other agencies.
As you know, my memo to the agencies was based on a total
detailee staff of 458. I am not prepared to increase that
request now for a number of reasons. First, I believe that
training and organizing 458 people into an efficient organiza-
tion at one time is about at the outer limits of feasibility
given the compressed time frame in which these detailees must
be absorbed. Secondly, I think personnel requirements should
be matched against a detailed case production plan described
in terms of case and time targets. Thirdly, it is imperative
that the staff seek improvements in productivity in the entire
work process. Simply adding more personnel creates serious
management problems given the short anticipated lifetime of the
PCB and threatens serious impacts on the missions of Federal
agencies who must loan the staff. I believe that any increase
in the total detailees requested must await evidence that the
450 detailees have been successfully absorbed, that productivity
improvements have been exhausted and that a staff this size
cannot do the job by September 15.
I understand that the Clemency Board is now moving into 1206
New Hampshire Avenue and that GSA has also made 1325 K Street
available for overflow activities as necessary. GSA continues
to state that 2033 M Street will be available on or about the
4th of May for your planning purposes.
-2-
We stand ready to assist your staff in designing the produc-
tivity improvements necessary to meet the target date.

RE:
PCB Expansion
Attached you will find the Board's latest status report on the expansion
effort. As you can see, there are two soft spots which need your
attention.
First, we have received as of today, a total of 69 new attorneys and
32 support as against our immediate goal, due next Tuesday, of 265
attorneys and 104 support. As I mentioned today, any delay in meeting
our staffing goal translates into a requirement for that much more
personnel to make up the slack. I By the same token, any delay in
requesting and receiving personnel to our ultimate 600 figure, will
also force an increase in that requirement.
The attached sheet describes the breakdown of agencies and their
responses thus far. In addition to DoD, you might want to call Interior,
FEA, and NLRB, which have not responded at all.
Second, we understand that VA and GSA can not advance the vacancy
of 2033 M Street before May 4. Every effort should be made to speed
our occupancy before that date so that lack of space does not affect
our utilizing our new personnel.

MEMORANDUM FOR CHARLES E. GOODELL
Subject: Status Report on Personnel for the Clemency Board
As you know, OMB has made repeated calls to all agencies to
insure they meet the PCB personnel request. Attached for
your information is a summary of what each of the agencies
have indicated they have provided to the PCB as of COB
April 17, 1975.
Our analysis of agency records indicate 268 people on board,
plus 19 slots provided by four agencies as indicated, for
a total obligation of 287.
We have been informed by DoD, NASA, and FEA, that they are
negotiating with your top staff to reduce or change person-
nel plans previously agreed to. I understand that these
agencies are awaiting guidance from the CB staff before they
proceed further. These negotiations total another 64
detailees.
We will continue to call those agencies which CB staff in-
dicate are delinquent.
I would appreciate knowing what the outcome of CB staff
negotiations are with Dod, NASA, and FEA.

PERSONNEL STATUS
I. OMB has failed to provide the detailees required to complete
processing the Clemency Board's caseload by September 15, 1975.
The O'Neill tap memo requested a total of 368 detailees (268
professional and 100 support) which were to have arrived by
April 15, 1975. Of that number, only an additional 172 have
arrived (107 professional and 65 support) as of 18 April, 1975.
Thus, OMB's success rate has been 40% for professionals and 65%
for support (47% overall).
Chart 1 and its schedules detail by name and tapped agency all
personnel on board as of 27 March, 1975, and all personnel who
have arrived as of COB, 17 April, 1975. The "owed" column on
Chart I credits the tapped agencies with slots which they have
offered to, and which have been accepted by, the Clemency Board,
even where those slots have yet to be filled. People not listed
on either schedule have not reported to the Board, although they
may indeed have left their parent agencies.
II. Each agency was tapped to provide a certain number of man-days,
professional and support, so that the Board staff may complete its
work by 15 September, 1975. The personnel requirements reflected in
the O'Neill memo were based upon the reporting dates specified there-
in. Since the agencies have not responded on schedule, they must
detail additional personnel beyond those requested in the O'Neill
memo in order to provide the Board with the man-days required to do
the job.
Chart 2 lays out the personnel required of and provided by each
agency, and the agencies' resulting personnel deficit in both
man-days and personnel, professional and support. The person-day
deficit is calculated as of 18 April, 1975, and the personnel de-
ficit is also calculated as of 18 April, 1975. In other words, if
all 35 professionals and 12 support staff arrived on 21 April, 1975,
the deficit would be eliminated. Since this cannot happen, additional
deficit calculations will be needed as the weeks go by. Calculations
of personnel deficit are made by dividing the person-day deficit by
the sixty working days between 02 May, 1975, and 01 August, 1975,
rounding to the nearest person.
