ORGANIZATION

During the fiscal year certain organizational changes were effected in accordance with the Commission's policy of continuing review of its organization and functional alignments:

Reference has already been made to the reallocation of certain functions relating to investment companies from the Division of Corporation Finance to the Division of Corporate Regulation. The change was designed to concentrate responsibility in the latter division for administration of the securities laws as they apply to investment companies, and to enable the Division of Corporation Finance better to assume and discharge its increased responsibilities under the Securities Acts Amendments of 1964. In related action, two new branches and an Assistant Director were added to the Division of Corporate Regulation to assist in handling the increased duties resulting from the assumption of its additional functions and from the increased responsibilities in recent years in administering the regulatory provisions of the Investment Company Act.

In addition, several new branches were created in the Division of Trading and Markets, and certain statistical activities were transferred from that Division to the Office of Policy Research.

PERSONNEL AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

An important development in the Commission's personnel management program in fiscal 1965 was the adoption of a Management Intern Program under a formal training agreement approved by the Civil Service Commission. The main objective of this program is to recruit and train persons of proven ability and high potential for top level supervisory and administrative positions.

Candidates are selected from lists of eligibles established by the Civil Service Commission as a result of the written and oral Management Intern Examination. The academic training and backgrounds of persons chosen vary according to the long-range needs of the Commission and include law, finance and other disciplines in addition to public administration.

The first intern under this new program was appointed on April 12, 1965. Following 12 to 15 months of specialized management training, he will be assigned to one of the operating divisions of the Commission.

During fiscal 1965, within-grade salary increases in recognition of high quality performance were granted to 92 employees. These awards are authorized by Section 702 of the Classification Act of 1949, as amended by the Salary Reform Act of 1962. Also during fiscal 1965, cash awards totaling $960 were made to 18 employees for adopted suggestions, and cash awards for superior performance amounting to $4,000 were presented to 24 employees.
