MEfiflORANDUM,M FOR: PERSONNEL DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Permanent Appointments under
Executive Order 10180
1. Executive Order 10180, effectuating the purposes of
Section 1302 of the Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1951
(Public Law 813, 81st Congress), specifies that all appoint-
ments in the Executive Branch of the Government shall be made
on a nonpermanent basis, provided that permanent appointments
are authorized whenever, in unusual circumstances, the head
of an agency determines that permanent appointments for
positions outside the competitive service are in the interest
of the Government.
2. Nonpermanent appointments are excluded by Executive
Order 10180 from the Civil Service Retirement Act and would
have to be reported by name to the Social Security Adminis-
tration. This would create a most serious security hazard.
Furthermore, nonpermanent appointments would be inimical to
the career recruitment program which I deem essential to the
future of this Agency. I have therefore determined that
permanent appointments to staff positions in the Central
Intelligence Agency are in the interest of the Government.
3. You are therefore authorized and directed to assure
that all personnel appointments for the Agency are made on
a permanent basis, except in cases where you determine that
temporary appointments are appropriate for special needs.
