AND -/; COMPENSATION DIVISION6 B-160672 JUN 2 6 1973 The Honorable Byron Ve Pepitone Director of Selective Service System (>7 Dear Mr. Pepitone: We have reviewed certain aspects of the Sa1g tiygvSevxce-System (SSS) convertn~o 4na#ejiien wekess a pJ ~iAn acyve-ordtandby-ystem. We obtained information from the National Headquarters; service centers in Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, and Alameda; State headquarters in Hawaii, Minnesota, and Colorado, and from both the State headquarters and selected local boards in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and California. Many of the weaknesses we noted are in process of correction. --Your recent simplification of local board procedures and redesign of their records should eliminate a large number of cumbersome and duplicative steps nationwide. --Your staff and budget reductions planned by December 31, 1973, are cutting a surplus of staff at many sites and at all organizational levels, --The transfer of medical determinations to the Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Stations removed certain difficult medical considerations from the SSS structure, --Actions taken on recommendations of the Management Evaluation Group of SSS appear to be adequate to correct a range of problems in the Alternate Service Program and operation of local draft boards. We also noted continuing management weaknesses in registration and organizational structures These are discussed below. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES Registration is the initial step in processing a man through the Selective Service System* The system cannot operate fairly unless all eligible males register in a timely manner and have an equal chance of being selected for induction should the need arise.
