Vital topics of realignment, RIF, contracting 'out discussed
Realignment (or reorganization),
reduction-in-force (RIF), and contracting
out - three subjects of vital interest to
Naval Weapons Center employees - were
discussed during a Tuesday noon meeting of
members of Chapter 28 of the National
Association of Supervisors that was held at
the Shuttle (Enlisted Club).
The speaker was Capt. Frederic H. M.
KInley, NWC Vice Commander, who was
joined by Capt. W. F . Daniel, head of the
Public Works Department, in answering
questions from the audience following the
presentation by Capt. KInley.

with the employees affected by such a
consolidation, this is not an isolated action.
Carrying out the Center's mission - those
programs, projects, studies and testing

mander stressed. " Support services
essential to our direct programs are just
that - essential - and any downward
adjustments required at China Lake will not
be achieved by looking exclusively to the
support side of the house," the speaker
commented.
At the present time, Capt. KInley con

conduct a reduction-in-force concurrently
keep the organization 'in step' with the work
it is expected to do. If the roles and
responsibilities of the organization change,
or if its facilities and services are
restructured, then the organization bas to
be flmble enough to adjust to those
changes. If it isn't, that organization's
customers eventually will forsake it for
competitors who are adaptable," the Vice
Commander elaborated.
It was his view, Capt. KInley stated, that
''too much emphasis is placed on 'status
quo,' when there is just about no such thing
in defense research and develOjllllent.
Budgetary imbalances, unmanageable
overbead costa and personnel reductions
