MEMORANDUM
October 21, 1968
TO:
RN
FROM:
Glenn 01ds
So
SUBJECT:
Items in Manpower Development, Staffing and Transition
In pursuit of my assignment in policy and manpower development,
I have enlisted the best thinking of key leaders in all areas
of executive responsibility. They have given me their ideas on
policy and people which represent balance and distribution
ideologically, regionally and professionally. In addition we
have (1) prepared profiles and backup material on manpower contact-
ed and recommended; (2) identified key sources of manpower recom-
mendations; (3) ordered and coordinated manpower recommendations
into preliminary categories; and (4) considered priorities and
problems in transfer of government. Recommendations are being
compiled and evaluated for your review.
Because of political sensitivity in the campaign, we have not
established formal liaison with staff, party, or external sources,
nor with the Civil Service Commission or other agencies. Properly
handled, however, these relationships can insure a comprehensive
base of support for your leadership and provide needed strength
to implement policy. No doubt you have given thought to how you
wish to coordinate and consummate this effort. May I recommend
the following for your consideration, and implementation at the
appropriate time.
Accompanying this memorandum is the provisional working model I
have used from the beginning to organize my effort in manpower
development.
-2-
1. Assign responsibility for coordination of manpower recommen-
dations from all sources--RN organization, Republican Party, and
external sources. (See Section II of working model for scope.)
2. Designate the man you choose to monitor the transition in
government in order that those working on manpower may have access
to the data on positions, personnel, and Civil Service super-grade
positions essential to presidential appointment.
3. Establish a method for integrating political considerations into
the total manpower effort, including Congressional, gubernatorial,
and party inputs. (Critical for implementing support on the Hill,
building party unity, and long term leadership.)
4. Determine the model for organizing departments, agencies, and
commissions into manageable groups for delegation of responsibility
and review in manpower development. (See Sections I and III of
model.)
5. Authorize operational teams to be established immediately following
the election for each cabinet office and major group of agencies. The
teams would review the 90-day memoranda, policies, personnel needs,
and priorities in their respective areas and make recommendations to
RN and chief appointees. Each team should contain a coordinator
(who might continue in an administrative post in the agency) and a
key person in (a) administration, (b) budget, and (c) legislation.
6. Utilize Nixon on the Issues as a guideline for operational teams'
review of executive departments' and agencies' needs and personnel.
7. Designate staff to review budget to determine how policy and
legislative proposals will affect manpower requirements and prospects
of implementing RN's policies.
8. Identify 85-100 key positions for immediate or early appointment
after election in order to achieve working control of the government.
Establish calendar of priorities for other appointments.
9. Determine funding allocations for interregnum costs, and logistics
for carrying through this task.

SECTION I - CATEGORICAL DESIGN
BRIEF EXPLANATION
A. The Presidential Responsibilities Form groups the responsibilities
into six broad functional categories. This form has been used in
interviewing key persons. regarding their policy concepts and
manpower recommendations.
B. The government Units Chart places the Executive Department units
of the Executive Office of the White House, and selective agencies
and Commissions into six broad, functional categories of Presidential
Responsibilities. It is helpful in explaining the functional concept.
C. Each major unit of the Executive Branch has a file arranged by
organization chart, organization, and job description. The job
descriptions apply to the Executive Level jobs open to Presidential
appointment in the respective units. The space to the right of the
job descriptions is for recommendations to that post.
D. The Executive Schedule positions, as of January 31, 1968, are
arranged by Level - not by unit. These positions are above Civil
Service jobs and are filled by Presidential appointment.
E. Within the Civil Service job classifications, there are positions
which, because of their policy-determining or confidential nature, are
exempt from Civil Service testing and competition. These positions
are available for Presidential appointment.
