NARRATIVE HIGHLIGHTS
1. GENERAL
50X1
The NPIC Internal Management Survey got underway in February and involved 50X1
a ?rodi ious effort throughout the Center. A Staff Study prepared by 50X1
proposed the organization and method of operation of this manpower
an ysis program and the survey was approved and initiated by on
6 February 1964. A Steering Group composed of as Chairman
as Vice-Chairman, as
members, and as Executive Secretary held 14 meetings during
February at which the basic assumptions and planning factors to be utilized
by Center components in determining future manpower needs of the Center
were prepared and approved. Completion of the survey is anticipated by the
middle of March, 1964.
2. BUDGET & FISCAL
a. At the two-thirds mark of Fiscal Year 1964, the Center has obligated
45 per cent of its allocated funds. The primary area of concern is with
the Research & Development Program and as shown on the attached table, the
Plans & Development Staff has obligated just 19 per cent of available funds.
Establishment of new procedures for project approval by the DD/I and DD/CI
together with renewed insistence by the Office of Logistics that all R&D
contractual action be completed by the end of April indicate that intensive
action will be required in the Center in the next several months if R&D
program objectives are to be achieved. Assurances have been given by P&DS
that the R&D package will be completed within the specified time limits.
b. The Spring Charity Fund Drive got under way during the latter part
of February and the Budget & Fiscal Branch was assigned responsibility for
coordinating this campaign within the Center. Keymen were designated and
assistants were assigned to collect contributions within each Division and
Staff. A meeting conducted by Budget & Fiscal Branch personnel was held
on 27 February with Division and Staff representatives to pass out materials
and discuss procedures. The Drive runs until the end of March.
c. Overtime continued to increase during February reflecting greater
inputs to the Center during the month. A total of 10,833 hours of overtime
were worked during two pay periods in February as contrasted with 9,062
hours in January and 7,014 hours in December. As a result of a policy
directive from Mr. Kirkpatrick calling for a 25 per cent reduction in
overtime use, the Budget & Fiscal Branch made several studies and analyses
of overtime usage in the Center as the first step in supporting the
Executive Director in formulating a revised overtime policy for NPIC.

(I)) 3. LOGISTICS
a. In response to an Agency directive, contract actions proposed for
the last quarter of the Fiscal Year were reviewed with Division and Staff
Chiefs and a schedule of these actions was forwarded to the Procurement
Division on 3 March 1964. The review showed that major proposed fourth
quarter contract actions totaled
is for R&D items. The most significant factor of this review was
the fact that Center components are planning to prepare and forward 31
major contract actions during the month of April alone. Based on past
experience this will be an exceedingly difficult objective to attain.
c. An improvement in the Center's supply and requisition system
was achieved in February by the establishment of a more effective follow-
up system. In order to insure timely delivery of supplies and equipment
and to inform requisitioning offices of the status of overdue items,
procedures were established in the Logistics Branch setting deadlines for
follow-up action and scheduling regular reviews of outstanding requisitions.
d. Planning and preparation for various alterations and renovation
programs in the building continued to take a large amount of time of
Logistics Branch personnel responsible for coordinating the many activities
involved. The major alteration package which has been in the works for
nearly a year has reached the point where contract negotiations by GSA
are getting underway after final funding approval was received from the
DD/S for the $153,000 package. A second major alteration program to
provide for the installation of a high speed electronic plotter in TID
has passed the planning stage and necessary paper work has been forwarded
to the DD/S via the DD/I. This project will cost $20,000 and has an
estimated completion date of 1 August. The third alteration program
currently in the planning stage involves fourth floor renovations to
accommodate recent changes in the PD, CSD, and P&DS areas. On the sixth
floor" planning is underway with Mr. Taylor, Chief, GSA, Anacostia Group
Forces, to replace all windows with thermo glass this summer. This should
provide a final solution to the condensation problem.

b. In order to provide necessary management control during this
period of uncertainty regarding NPIC's staffing authorization, temporary
internal ceilings were developed for each of the Center components in
keeping with the total temporary ceiling of The temporary ceilings 50X1
for each Division and Staff were approved by the Executive Director and
memoranda were prepared notifying each component of its temporary ceiling.
c. A summary of the first Competetive Evaluation Review of the
Career Service Board was prepared and forwarded to the Office of the
Director. The first stage of competetive evaluations of all GS-13
personnel is currently underway.
d. As part of the program to provide employee services to Center
personnel, representatives of the Personnel Branch secured background
information on the credit union facility of the Naval Weapons Plant. This
information was distributed to employees by an NPIC notice which set forth
the procedures by which government employees in the Building may use this
facility. In addition, Staff and Division chiefs were advised that
Building 213 employees in grades GS-12 and above are entitled to use the
facilities of the Navy Officer's Club at lunch time. Each component has
been solicited for a list of their employees who qualify and are interested
in using the Club.
e. During February, 26 new employees attended the NPIC Indoctrination
Course and 59 persons who recently entered on duty attended the Director's
Briefing. The next running of the NPIC Indoctrination Course is tentatively
scheduled for April.
5. SECURITY
a. At the direction of (BSO/CIA), the Director, NPIC, and 50X1
Commanding Officer, DIA/NPIC, were briefed by the Chief, Security Branch
on an important development involving the security of an operational project
for which a number of NPIC personnel hold a clearance. The Security
Branch then arranged a meeting of all NPIC persons holding this clearance
to enable the Director, NPIC, to give required instructions and guidance.
Of the 154 cleared NPIC personnel, 148 attended the Director's briefing,
and the remaining 6 who were not able to attend were briefed the following
day.
b. During February, extensive efforts were made in converting the
Security Branch clearance records to IBM. Completion of the input phase
of this project is expected in early March and will materially improve the
timeliness and accuracy of Security Branch records. An example of how the
IBM system will work was demonstrated in convening the special briefing
mentioned in the above paragraph. In a little over 10 minutes an IBM
printed runout was obtained which listed all the current NPIC holders of
the particular operational clearance involved, making it possible to
promptly convene the special briefing.

c. The Security Branch gave extensive support to the P&DS for two
meetings held in Building 213 in February. One involved a Bidders' Conference
which was attended by representatives from 16 commercial concerns interested
in submitting bids on a prospective NPIC contract and the second involved
support of the Joint Procurement Meeting held in the Main Briefing Room on
27-28 February. Security certifications were obtained and detailed briefings
given to 61 representatives from 11 different government agencies and 13
representatives from 8 commercial concerns.
d. On the fifth of February an announced fire drill was conducted in
Building 213 to test the building evacuation procedures. This fire drill
was put to good use on 20 February when a fire in an electric motor in the
vertical vault conveyor system necessitated the evacuation of the building.
This "live" experience indicated the need for improvement in the building
evacuation plan as well as changes in certain of the alarm procedures.
Security Branch is working with Staff and Division representatives, the
CIA Safety Officer and the District of Columbia Fire Department to make
necessary changes.
e. During February, 4 internal security violations and one Agency
violation were discovered and investigated by Security Branch personnel.
Reports were submitted in each case to the Executive Director, NPIC, and
the Director of Security, CIA, for action or information as appropriate.
6. TRAINING
a. As a first step in developing a management/supervision training
program, arrangements were completed with the Office of Training for a
special running of the Management Training Course. Fourteen
candidates have been nominated from within the Center including 2 from PD,
2 from PSD, 3 from CSD, 4 from CIA/PID, 2 from TID and 1 from P&DS. The
original plan to conduct a part-time course at Building 213 was changed
at the suggestion of the Chief, Management Training, OTR, to a full time
one-week course away from the office. Representatives from other components
of the Agency will also attend this course.
b. The special Card Punch Operating training course given in Building
213 utilizing the new PerceptoScope was completed. Six new employees were
given 80 hours of instruction as card punch operators utilizing instructors
from CSD. The course was considered to be very satisfactory and interest
has been expressed in this training program by the Office of Computer Services.
c. This month marks the first anniversary of the Voluntary Language
Program at Building 213. In recent discussions with representatives of
the Language and Area School, OTR, the students from NPIC were singled out
as being unique in the high levels they have maintained in their motivation
and performance in the program. Enrollment for the next twenty-week
instructional period now stands at 25 necessitating three sections for the
program including two beginning sections and one intermediate section.
