Program Executive Office National Security Personnel System Attn: Bradley B. Bunn 1400 Key Boulevard Suite B-200 Arlington, VA 22209-5144 Dear Sir: I am a career civilian employee of the Department of Defense and I have serious problems with the “National Security Personnel System” as proposed in the February 14 Federal Register. My concerns relate to the proposed new rules on Pay and Pay Administration (Part 9901 Subpart C). I can’t believe that after 30 years plus that the government want to take a giant step backwards with this new system. Over time you will have a bigger problem then you do now. Under this new system nobody will take any chances to improve the system. This is the fastest way that you can to get a YES staff, with no questions asked. In my view, no changes should be made to the current pay system used by Department of Defense agencies until complete and detailed proposals are provided, and a full comment and review period is completed, followed by a full collective bargaining process with the unions representing DoD employees. Sincerely, Michael T. Raley
