3. The Council considered the report of the Chairman of the Ad
Hoe Committee, Foreign Language Development Program, dated 14 November
and discussed the findings and recommendations with the Committee.
With regard to the three reommeandations of the Committee's report
(paragraph 3)0 the Council took the following action
(a) "Nligibility for awards shall not be conditioned by
meMbership in the Career Staff" - Approved except that persons
who do not apply when eligible for msmbership or vhose applications
are deferred or denied shell not be eligible for awards.
(b) "The Leagues* Specialists Program should be deleted from
the current program and should be treated separately'- Approved
(c) In identifying the language requirements of specific
positions, each Deputy Director will be permitted flexibility
and individual discretion, identifying those positions wherein
language competence is an essential characteristic of the
position and directing possession and acquisition of language
competence for such additional assignments as is consistent with
operational needs ane plans."- Approved
With respect to theoalternative policies identified by the
Committee reverie* eligibility of award for proficiency acquired during
duty time, the Council decided that there be a seals of achievement
awards for those who enquired language training through directed
assignment versus those who acquired language training voluntarily
on their cm time. This scale perhaps would be in the nature of 1 to
2. It was further eased that the Agency announcement would be based
an the voluntary acquisition of language proficiency in order to
emphasize the incentive factor. The reduced rate of award for those
who achieved proficiency on Agency time would be added as a qualifi-
cation to the basic level award.
4. With more to the proposed, headquarters
assignments for the signature of the Director, theilslarproved
it in principle and accepted the offer of the DD/S to mike final
revisions and present it to the Director for his approval. It was
also agreed that paragraph 4 would not be included in the proposed
notice but that the Directoriemela be asked at a regular meeting of
the Deputy Directors to approve such a policy and direct them to put
it into effect.
5. The Council briefly reviewed the status of the SiograPhic
Profile project and eepressed their preference for photostat rather
thansetex copies.
