Approved For Release 2003/08/04: CIA-RDP74-OOO05R000 ,00060049-4 25X1A9A Approved For Release 2003/08/04: CIA-RDP74-00005R000200060049-4 A great deal of the business of the Central Intelligence Agency is done through correspondence and this, of course, be- comes the written record. To do an efficient job of maintaining a thorough and complete record, it is essential that the proce- dures for the preparation of official correspondence be uniform, and that the styling, routing, and filing of it be done according to a given pattern or plan. The purpose of this Manual, therefore, is to present, in a simple way, these rules and regulations to the secretarial and stenographic personnel of the Agency. There is really nothing difficult about any of the procedures, and with a little study and practice they are easily mastered. The instructions given here are only general in scope, and do not cover all cases. Should special problems arise, they should be brought to the attention of the immediate supervisor or Administrative Officer for a solution.

If the body of a memorandum or letter is completed so near the bottom of a page that there is no room for the signature, at least two lines of the last paragraph are carried over to the last page. This is done so that the signature will not become separated from the text. Page Numbering No number is placed on the first page. Subsequent pages are numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. The number is centered and typed about one inch above the bottom of the sheet, as, -2-. The classification is stamped as specified in the current CIA Security Regulations.

Routing Slips The official routing slips (Nos. 36-8 and No. 30-4+) are used when correspondence is referred through one official to another. They are also used at times for the transmission of informal com- ments on the basic correspondence. It is unnecessary to use rout- ing slips to transmit correspondence from one office to another. Chain envelopes are used for this purpose.

C. Mr. William F. Schaub 132 Old State Building Washington 25, D. C. Reference is made to Mr. Miller's recent discussion with Mr. Saunders relative to,a change in the schedule of work hours for the Central Intelligence Agency. On the basis of experience during the last few months in conforming with the schedule of hours previously ap- proved by the Bureau of the Budget, it has been determined that a change in the schedule of hours from 8:30 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. will be more practical and advantageous to the Agency. Also, a recent survey] indicates that the employees of the Agency are overwhelmingly in favor of returning to these hours of duty. T_t is, therefore, requested that the hours of duty for this Agency be changed from 8:00 A. M. - 4+:30 P. M. to 8:30 A. M. - 5:00 P. M. on a permanent basis. Yours very truly, JOHN R.
