MEMORANDUM FOR: Colonel White ~._
THROUGH : Mr. Lloyd
SUBJECT Revised Regulation No.~ "Honor Awards"
1. The attached subject Regulation has reached you for written
concurrence prior to being returned to the Director of Personnel for
final preparation leading toward the DCI's signature.
-Lull Quionel
25X1A9a nn Chairman, Honor 25X1A9a
+tee
with
,
of the Office of Personnel, and with
Chief, Career Staff, to see if all of th
i
kl
e wr
n
es had been
aken out of this paper in the course of its l
th
eng
y preparation and co-
ordination. The background facts are these:
a. On 15 March 1954.9 the DCI approved the original draft
of the Regulation, which spelled out the various proposed awards.
Thus, he approved the granting of the various awards in princijle,
as well as the language and conditions thereof.
b. However, General Cabell was not happy with the various
names assigned the awards, and asked that Colonel study 25X1A9a
the problem further and make recommendations to him. On 21 April
25X1A9a 1954, Colonel
- made his recommendations for changes in the
designation of the medals, and as nearly as I can reconstruct it
without being able to locate the original papers, on or about 25
or 27 May 1954, the DDCI approved the new names and discussed
25X1A9a with Colonel the actual design of the medals, plaques and
ribbons for the awards. I do not believe that the DCI was drawn
actively into the problem after 15 March 1954
25X1A9a c. Mr. - called my attention to the fact that Sec-
tion 4.a of the proposed Regulation does not provide for the%
selection of three alternates to serve on the Honor Awards Board,
as well as the three principal members, and that it was the inten-
tion of the Director of Personnel to incorporate that provision
in the Regulation, though it seems to have been overlooked. There-
fore
if
ou
th
,
,y
o
erwise approve the Regulation as it stands, you
may wish to qualify your approval to the extent that you would
say: "Approved subject to the inclusion in Secti

3. As additional information, Per. - contends that
since the old CIA Career Service Board had a share in the idea
of granting these awards in the first place, the CIA Career Council
should be cut in to approve actual design of medals, etc., and he
recommends that this topic be brought up at the 2L February meeting
of the Council.
b. RECOMMENDATION: In view of the facts presented above, I
recommend your concurrence, with the possible inclusion of the quali-
fication in paragraph 2oc, above.
