C.
That's why the Kennedy ad-
ministration Is expected to
ask that a number Of these
jobs be put under schedule c.
Actually, the requests proba-
bly, won't number more than
several hundred additional po-
sitions. but they are the key
ones. Most career employees,
even those in top jobs. won't
be affected.
The csc has given every in
dication that it intends to CO.
operate wholeheartedly with
the new administration. OF
course, the csc will insist that
standards are met so that those
appointed to the political
schedule c jobs at least meet
the minimum requirements of
the job.
AS far as the present 1900
political schedule c jobs that
already are in existence are
concerned. the Kennedy team
Is wasting no time in filling
them with its own appoint
ees. In the case Of these Jobs
also, the CSC's approval Is
needed to determine that the
appointees meet the required
standard. No trouble is antici-
pated on this score. however.
