ANMs'11tONG / After Mr. Gray wes designeted Acting Director of the FBI, the Civil Division of the Department forwarded his Officiat Personnel Folder (OP F) to the Buresu sud jadicated it could be maintained by the FBI. Upon review of the OPF we conclude Alr. Gray's Service Cormyutation Date (SCD) ezrried officially by the Pepartment should be revised (ordinarily the SCD is that date which records an employve's totcl creditable Government service for purposes of determining leave earning caiegory end service towerd civilian retirement; however, there ere quelifieptions on this venerel epplicability where the civilian employee is retired from the military as in the case of Mr. Gray.) In the meantime, John Duffner, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Attorney General, telephonically advised thet the OPF for each head of a bureau in the Department is maintained in the Deputy's office. He stated this is done because the bureau heads are appointed by the Attorney General, the folders arc needed for ready reference purposes, and the Attorney General or Deputy shouid be the custodian. Accordingly, we should forward Mr. Gray's OPF to the Depart ment. It was observed to him that we are making certain corrections with respec to Mr. Gray's SCD and Duffner advised it would be satisfactory to forward the folder when completed. As a matter of interest, Mr. Duffner advised he continues to maintain the OPF for Mr. Hoover. When asked as to what disposition was intended con- cerning Mr. Hoover's folder Duffner advised that he planned to maintain it indefinitely and not retire it to the Personnel Records Center in St. Louis as is customary with other folders of former employees of the Department. It was observed that FBi nas specifie authority set forth in the Federal Personnel , Manual to retain all OPFs of former FBI emplcyees. Mr. Duffner requested to be furnished a copy of this citation so that he may place it in Mr. Hoover's OPF for reference purposes should consideration ever be given toward releasing Mr. Hoover's folder. 1 - Mr. Marshall 1-Mr. Feeney Mey i - 3fr.
