MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Personnel
SUBJECT : Annual Report - Fiscal Year 1969
The following activities are reported for Fiscal Year 1969 for the
Special Activities Staff:
A. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS PROCESSED
(1) During the year forty-five (4+5) employees were placed on
probation for a variety of reasons involving performance and/or
conduct. In all such cases, warnings or reprimands of some descrip-
tion were issued and in 29 cases, as delineated below, Step Increases
were withheld. In assisting offices in placing employees on probation,
this Staff reviews each case carefully, advises the office concerned
of applicable policies and procedures, and takes the necessary formal
action relating to a particular case.
(2) At some time during the year the Step Increases of twenty-
nine (29) employees were withheld under the "acceptable level of
competence" standard. At the end of the year these cases had been
disposed of as follows:
10 - still withheld
11 - granted on a deferred basis after improvement
8 - employees resigned or retired
(3) Twelve (12) suspensions for security infractions were
processed upon recommendation of the employing offices. In addition,
there was one suspension for other than security reasons. This is
six less than the number for the preceding year.
(4) Our records show that 109 change to lower grade cases were
processed, 108 of them not involving salary retention and one involving
salary retention. This is twenty-one (21) less than the number of
such cases for 1968.
(5) During Fiscal Year 1969 twenty (20) requests for Fitness
for Duty examinations were reviewed and forwarded to the Office of
Medical Services, compared with twenty-nine (29) such requests for
the preceding year. Most of these cases required some sort of ad-
ministrative action following receipt of the medical report.

(6) Four (4) Notcies of Levy involving delinquent Federal
income taxes were handled during Fiscal Year 1969. This is six (6)
less than in 1968. In addition, there were ten (10) delinquent
State tax cases involving Agency employees and eight (8) inquiries
regarding delinquent State taxes of former Agency employees. In
line with Federal Government policy applicable to such cases, this
office cooperates with State tax bodies in these matters, and assists
them when employees do not take prompt action to eliminate these
delinquencies.

(2) An additional fifteen (15) cases referred by the Office of

C. APPLICANT REVIEW PANEL

25X9A2
(1) During Fiscal Year 1969 the Applicant Review Panel met on
an average of twice a week and reviewed a total of 750 cases. Two
hundred and sixty-four (264) individuals were recommended for approval,
318 cases were rejected or withdrawn, and as of the end of the Fiscal
Year 168 cases were deferred for further medical or security review.
This is an increase of 24 cases over the preceding year.
(2) As a closely-related activity, the Staff reviewed "white
envelope" information submitted by 540 applicants. As a result of
this review, processing was discontinued in twenty-one (21) cases.
Twenty-four (24) cases were referred to the Director of Personnel
for decision.
D. OVERSEAS CANDIDATE REVIEW PANEL
(1) The Overseas Candidate Review Panel screened a total of
Mrp assignment candidates during the period, as compared
with s for the preceding year. Of the cases actually dis-
cussed by the Panel, 69 persons were considered to be of questionable

suitability for overseas assignment. Upon further evaluation of
the 69, the Panel recommended approval of 64, and three (3) were
either disapproved or withdrawn. Two (2) cases were deferred as
of the end of the Fiscal Year for further medical or security review.
(2) The Overseas Candidate Review Panel conducted five (5)
"post mortems" involving employees who returned to Headquarters
prior to the completion of their overseas tours. The Panel has one
additional case in the process of review. The six (6) cases were
selected for review from a total of approximately 230 cases of em-
ployees returning from the field short of tour completion for all
reasons. A continuing problem in this area involves our getting
sufficient information on such cases on which to base a determination
as to whether or not a formal post mortem review would be useful.
The CIA Personnel Evaluation Board met twelve (12) times
during the Fiscal Year and discussed fifteen (15) cases. Personnel
Evaluation Board action led to the resignation of two employees, the
disability retirement of three, written warnings and/or probation
in five cases, the reassignment of one employee, with final action
pending in four cases.
(1) The Staff reviewed over 622 files of employees who became
eligible for conversion to Career Employee status during the year.
In addition to reviewing the employee files, "Eyes Only" information
concerning these candidates was also carefully reviewed and in
selected cases summarized for the Head of the appropriate Career
Service.
(2) As a result of the Staff's reviews and recommendations,
508 employees were converted from Career Provisional status to
Career Employee status. Heads of Career Services deferred action
pending further evaluation in the case of sixteen (16) otherwise
eligible employees.
