MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
Chairman, Administration Management
Advisory Group (ADMAG)
SUBJECT ADMAG Suggestions for the DCI
1. Action Requested: None - FYI only - background
notes for your meeting with ADMAG.
2. Background: During our meeting with you on 27 May
you requested that we further address the issue of personnel
"flow-through" and suggest improvements or solutions to con-
cerns identified.
a. We believe that the existing personnel
system, e.g., DDA Personnel Management Handbook
dated 1975, provides an efficient and effective
vehicle to handle the full range of personnel
matters.
b. However, we also believe that the achieve-
ment of a personnel management system prescribed
in existing regulatory issuances, handbooks, and
studies, e.g., Personnel Approaches Study Group
Report dated 1973, as well as the Annual Personnel
Plan and the Personnel Development Program may be
often frustrated through a spotty implementation.
3. Recommendations.

a. Employees with the least potential in
all grade levels should be identified and appro-
priate career or adverse action should be taken.
This policy is presently in existence, but is not
yet being uniformly enforced. It is our suggestion
that the DCI take appropriate action to ensure the
enforcement of this policy. In the event of adverse
action we approve of the present procedure for
centralized reviews and recommendations by the
Director of Personnel. We feel through this
mechanism, positions will be made available for
new employees and for the advancement of the employees
already on board, provided the Agency personnel
ceiling remains relatively constant.
b. We endorse the use of the three year
probationary period for new employees and urge
that careful consideration be given during the
period as to whether the individual should be
retained.
perspectives of members of the ADMAG.
c. Seek approval for continued use of the
25 year discontinued service retirement option.
This would be especially attractive to those
employees enrolled in the CIA Retirement and Dis-
ability System.
4. It is noted that the suggestions and recommendations
presented above are based upon the personne,X experience and
