3, DDS Staff Meeting.
a. Proposals to Employ People after Retirement. We should be
very clear about the absolute need for employing Agency officers after
retirement. We should give extremely serious consideration to this
matter; we should not be doing it for humanitarian reasons. Contribution
of such persons should be definite and certainly not a convenience to the
individual. In other words, he must have some particular skill that
clearly meets the need.

market against rabies. The Agency is not adopting it yet.

Group (IRG). A lengthy discussion was held on the SIG, FitzGerald asked
the Division Chiefs their impressions of the IRG. Lhought it proved
useful, The Division Chiefs hold a meeting once a week with the Assistant

crises. 25X1C

spaces. He reporte -- evenly divided CI, CA, FI. So
far they have recruited 58 of the 75. Vacancies are mainly in the CA

the CA field are usually over-priced for us. He reporte

5. Language Development Committee. reported the follow-
ing Directorate's representatives on the Language Committee:
DDS&T; DDP. The DDI representative
has not yet been named. The DDTR, as chairman of the Committee, plans
to have a meeting this week. Mr. Richardson said a good agenda item
for the first meeting would be clarification of the sentence in the CIA
Foreign Language Training Program that a CT has to have an "Elementary"
knowledge of a foreign language before he is assigned to his career
service. Mr. Richardson assumes this does not necessarily mean that
he stays with us and meets the requirement before he is assigned to a job.
The DTR wonders if every officer going to the DDI would have to have an
"Elementary" proficiency.
