Comments:

I recommend that the pay, performance, and classification concepts be withdrawn in its entirety and published for comment and recommendations only when: 1) the Agencies are willing to disclose the entire system to DoD employees, affected unions, Congress, and the American public; and 2) the Agencies devise a more reasonable approach to testing any radical new designs before they are implement on any wide-spread basis. I simply cannot accept systems that establish so few rules and leave so much to the discretion of current and future officials. I want to be protected from vague systems, built on discretionary authority that is subject to abuse.
