September 26, 1980 CHAIR MAN MEMORANDUM FOR:
Executive Direptor for Operatio,ns FROM:
Joh'n Ahearne L
SUBJECT:
DELEGATIONS 0 AUTHORITY As of October 1,1980, in accordance with the President's Reor-ganization Plan No.1 of 1980, you as EDO are delegated the following functions :
1.
Administrative funct'ons of the Commission; 2.
Distribution of business among personnel and among administrative units and offices of the Commission; 3.
Preparation of the following estimates and proposals:
Proposals for the reorganization of the major offices within a.
the Commission;
,7 b.

4.

It is anticipated that you may delegate the authority to appoint, remove and supervise the staff within major organizational units to the heads of such units.

2 With regard to functions previously delegated to the staff by the Commission, such delegations are now made through the Chairman speaking for the Comission.
Unless instructed otherwise on specific matters, it is understood that these functions continue to be delegated to the staff and that you should continue to delegate them to their present levels.
Finally, you will be responsible, through the Chairman, for insuring that the Commission is. fully and currently informed about matters within its functions.
I would prefer that Commissioners' requests for infonna-tion be made through the Chairman's office.
However, in view of the split on the Commission on this issue, Commissioners may still make requests directly to the staff.
Unless the Commission provides other-wise, the following procedure should be followed:
All such requests should be honored on a timely ~ basis unless in your opinion they would require a level of resource expendi-ture which would impact on Commission priorities governing ongoing programs.
You should bring those requests to the Chairman along with the resource estimate and any alternate proposal which might satisfy the request at a lower level of resources.
If no alternative can be worked out between the Chairman and the Ccamissioner making the request which avoids a resource problem, the Commissioner may bring the' question before the full Commission which will make the final determination.
It must be emphasized that any determination by the EDO not to give priority attention to a Commissioner request must be based on the ED0'.s judgment that the level of impact requires a Commission decision on the matters appropriate for priority attention by the staff, and is not an evaluation on the merits of the request.
