3. Considerable discussion ensued as to the poor descrip- tions of jobs as presented in the Position Allocation Manual for 

Graded Civilian Jobs (ASF Manual 204). It was agreed that a subcommittee should be appointed to: 

a. Study the problem and reconnnend adequate work descriptions and titles for occupational groups, series and classes. 

b. Review the job descriptions in force at present in 

the various divisions and make recommendations for such changes 

as are deemed necessary. (Specific attention was to be paid to 

uniformity throughout the Agency and to concentrate only on 

those jobs that are peculiar to the work of the Agency, disregarding standardized types such as typists, stenographers, etc.) 

c. Coordinate and compare with other agencies to see 

that the allocation1or positions at this Agency are in keeping 

with those elsewhere. 

d. Review Army MOS and SSN numbers so as to bring consistency between civilian and military job specifications, and 

make necessary recommendations. 

e. Make the studies outlined above for graded positions 

first, and then proceed to ungraded positions.
