OF:  William H1. Baumann - Remedial Order Issued by
     Foreign Service Grievance Board

1.  Foreign Service Grievance Board created special
    retention category for imployee separated in
    reduction in force (RIx) and directed his rein-
    statement with backpay. Agency regulations pro-
    vided that matters subject to final review outside
    of agency or for which other review machinery was
    provided were not within Board's jurisdiction.
    Although Board had authority to ensure correctness
    of employees' records, its order may not be imple-
    mented since employee's retention category was
    necessarily part of RIF procedure, employee had
    right to appeal P1F action within his agency and
    to Civil Service Commission, and such appeal rights
    removed matter from Board's jurisdiction.


          2.  Incident to grievance filed by employee concerning
              reduction-in-force action, Foreign Service Grievance
              Board issued remedial order requiring Agency for
              International Development (AID) to: establish new
              retention register limited in competitive area to
              Saudi Arabia instead of world-wide area; place
              grievant on such list; and reinstate him with
              backpay. Remedial order may not be implemented
              since AID regulations require competitive area to
              be worldwide and head of agency may not waive such
              regulation.

     This matter involves a request on 1ay 30, 1975, by the Assistant
Administrator, Bureau for Program and Management Services, Agency
for International Development (AID), for a decision as to whether
the agency has authority to implement a remedial order issued by
the Foreign Service Grievance Board in view of a decision by the
Civil Service Commission's Federal Tmployee Appeals Authority on
the same matter.  Both decisions were issued as a result of pro-
ceedings instituted by Mr. William H. Eaumann incident to his
separation from AID by reduction-in-force (RIF) action.

     Mr. Baumann was a Foreign Service Reserve officer, FSR-3,
holding an Agency Occupational Specialty Code (AOSC) of 0083.05
