MEMORANDUM FOR. Director of Training
Matt:
At the request of the Director, the Inspector General
did a survey of personnel security in the Agency last fall and came up with
five recommendations. Action has been completed on two of them and is
well along toward completion on two others. We are probably going to need
some help from you in satisfying the fifth, which says: "It is recommended
that the Agency initiate a formal program for indoctrination and periodic
re indoctrination of supervisory personnel in their responsibilities as super-
visors--particularly as regards personnel security."
The several suggestions we have received seem to
fall short of the general idea of "a formal program". It occurs to me that
you already offer a couple of courses in supervision several times a year,
and I wonder if there is some way these could be modified or adapted for
presentation to large audiences in the auditorium in something considerably
less than a forty-hour week. Since we will want to reach large segments of
the supervisory population, II at a time, we will have to make our 25X9
presentations not longer than an hour or two and offer them at intervals of
a week or two over a period of several weeks.
One of the primary objectives, of course, would be
to emphasize the supervisor's responsibility for personnel security in re-
sponse to the IG's recommendation. However, the need goes beyond the
responsibility for personnel security and includes the total scope of the
responsibilities of supervisors. It is also very important that our emphasis
on personnel security does not give the audience cause to speculate or gen-
erate rumors about our reasons for starting such a program and definitely
must avoid giving the impression that the Agency has lost confidence in its
people.
We might also consider developing a policy paper
which would establish quotas for each Deputy Director to meet each time
your regular courses in supervision are offered, keeping in mind that our
objective is to reach supervisors at all levels in the Agency.
Would you please put somebody to work on this im-
mediately, because I am obligated to present something to Mr. McCone
when he returns from his current trip.
