"Recent studies made by the Personnel Advisory Committee and
the staff of the Commissioner of Personnel indicate some pressing
problems that require urgent attention, " Governor Agnew said.

"I have asked the Committee to make an objective and compre-
hensive study of the laws, regulations and practices of the State as an
employer. "

Included in the areas under study will be:

1. Organization for personnel management

2. Recruitment examination and selection

3. Position classification

4. Performance evaluation and promotion policies

5. Grievance procedure

6. Compensation in all forms

7. State Retirement System

"I have further asked the Committee to give top priority to the
subject of the structure of the personnel management system so that
any recommendations in this area requiring Constitutional considera-
tion can be placed before the Constitutional Convention, " the Gov-
ernor said.

He said the study may take up to two years. The final report is
expected to contain specific recommendations for the full development
of an efficient and economical operation of the State personnel system
in the light of present and projected conditions.
