OrPICE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTIC FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION WASEINGTON, D.C. 20535 Mr r Mr June 24, 1969 Mr.R Mr. Mr. Tele. Room Miss H imes MEMORANDUM FOR MR. TOLSON Miss Gandy MR. MOHR MR. TAVEL MR. TROTTER I have noted numerous instances where incompetent employees, particularly in the Identification Division and in the Files and Communications Division, have been retained in the service for many months even though case in the Files and Communications Division in which Mr. Tavel just recently suggested that the employee's resignation be obtained. The employee had been in the service of the Bureau for fourteen months and there certainly had been sufficient information concerning her inability to properly perform her duties many months ago, yet we retained her. I think that the Assistant Directors in charge of these divisions (should be able to ascertain within a period of three months the capabilities of a new employee and if they are not average or above, then their resig- nations should be promptly requested. We should not palliate incompetency and inefficiency. Very truly yours, Johr Edgar Hoover Director ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS UNCLASSIFIED DATE y/y/82 BYsD/Gs/ee
