MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Committee Members
FROM: Executive Assistant to the Executive Director
SUBJECT: Minutes of 22 and 23 June 1983 Executive
Committee Meetings: Review of 1985 Program
1. The Executive Conanittee met on 22 and 23 June 1983 to
review the Office of the Comptroller's proposed 1985 CIA
Program. (ExDir) chaired the session;
participants included Messrs. Fitzwater (DDA); Stein (DDO);
Hineman (DDSE~I'); Gates (DDI); Taylor (IG); Glerum (D/OP), Childs
(Comptroller);~~(Deputy Comptroller).
2. opened the meeting by stating that he wanted
an open discussion of the proposed 1985 program to permit the
Comptroller to incorporate Directorate suggestions into a program
which would be reviewed at the next dav's executive session. The
Comptroller summarized the ro r ' sues, noting that it
called for at the-DCI Over-
Guidance level, provided a strong, defendable program consistent
with DCI instructions and the CIA strategic plan, and is
generally responsive to the Deputy Directors' resource
requirements. While the program first of all tops off
initiatives which have been in effect for several years, it calls
for a 12 percent growth at the DCI Guidance Level:. There are
in new initiatives inside DCI Guidance,. among them
some pressing support requirements and new sensitive technical?
activities. The Comptroller noted that it may be necessary to
take a close look at the program's effect on the out-years: OMB
has indicated that there may be cuts in 1985 and beyond; some
caution is in order when considering new initiatives in order to
leave room for new requirements that may be overlooked. The
Comptroller suggested that the EXCOM should be involved in more
frequent reviews of high cost items and noted that if money is
scarce it may be necessary to go hack and closely examine base
programs. The NPIC upgrade, whether in the CIAP or not, is
pushing and will have a substantial impact; ADP has
grown to 11 percent of the budget; the Reserve is in a tenuous
position in the ranking; DESIST, a new DDI requirement, and power
plant improvements all require committee attention.

3. tasked whether there was agreement on
protecting the new building's 5th place ranking and noted that
funding had not been included previously for a local area network
(LAN) data system for the building. Mr. Hineman observed that
the building, communications, and.NPIC upgrade were high cost
items which could not be dropped. NPIC will be faced with
processing ten times as much data he emphasized,
represent an investment of each. A discussion
followed on the relative merits of moving the NPIC upgrade to the
NRP but it was agreed that all funding comes from the same pot
and the result would be an equal reduction in the CIAP.
4. Mr. Gates noted that the Headquarters building, NPIC,
communications--all buildings and technical things--were driving
the budget. No matter how much is collected, the DDI needs to go
through a recapitalization similar to that for the building and
NPIC. It does not make sense to have a 50 percent growth in
collection and not add to the program for analysis. The
production theme includes people to process and plan collection
but it falls at Mid-Guidance. We have been saying for years that
we need to place analysis and collection in sync
asked whether it is realistic to have
other technical collection activities where they are
or whether they should be dropped to move analysis higher.
on time. Mr. Briggs concluded that everyone seemed to be saying
that the new building is needed and that continuing the NPIC
upgrade is a valid requirement.
6. Mr. Glerum noted that he would like more protection for
the Career Trainee Task Force initiative as well as for the
package which adds pay specialists to the Office of Personnel.
He noted that CIA has to be more imaginative in its recruitment
efforts and that market researchers are needed if we are to
develop pay scales for high tech, clerical and other categories
of personnel. At present, PMCD is working on pay scales with the
result that certain position classification surveys have been
delayed. Mr. Stein observed that there is progress in getting
more CTs but he asked for assurances that there would be growth
in the Office of Training to ensure it could prepare them for
their work.
7. tasked whether there are any unique analysis
or collection activities the Administration could be asked to
assign to other agencies. He also asked whether there are
sufficient resources for Agency narcotics, terrorism, and
counterintelligence programs. Mr. Gates noted that Senators
Benson and Wallop would like Commerce to do more in the economic

area but that nobody would let Commerce do technical transfer
analysis and Comneree has not asked for funding. Commerce has
been told that the DDI will do no more foreign industrial
analysis unless there is a national defense component involved.
For CIA to do analysis it needs to have a technology transfer or
national security aspect to it. Mr. Stein interjected that the
PFIAB should get the Department of Defense to collect overt
intelligence. Mr. Gates added that the Military Advisory Groups
and Defense Attaches are in the best position, worldwide, to
collect military related information.
8. Mr. Fitzwater said he believed it wauld be dreaming to
expect funding beyond DCI Guidance. He has trouble with the NPIC
upgrade; it is four times the size of the Head ~zarters
building. He further noted that more than and about
in his initiatives were not favorably ranker?. He
wou ice o move people up out of the first support package--
the DA CI theme is ranked low, in 90th position. He advised the
committee that new capabilities required electrical power and at
some point the powerhouse needs to be upgraded. He suggested
that the committee reach a consensus to permit him to shape the
support packages.
9. Jim Taylor said he liked the ranking. It is balanced
and gives the Deputy Directors flexibilit to carry out their
programs; NPIC upgrade could take a cut and nat feel
it. Ranking is strong on plumbing items and these is a need to
keep pushing them while the climate is right and before we move
into a cycle of.tighter budgets; for example, the Smithsonian
would like to have our antiquated payroll system. Mr. Taylor
presumed he was the only person resent who hopes personnel
increases are coming to an end. shared this
sentiment. The Executive Committee then adjourned until 23 June
to permit the Comptroller to revise the program ranking.
10. When the Executive Committee reconvened on 23 June, the
Comptroller presented a new ranking (attached) which took into
consideration the previous day's comments. The committee agreed
that for the present the Agency should strongly support an Over
Guidance request for resources. It also decided that money
($1 million) for a LAN study for the old building ~rvoul.d be
consolidated with the request for LAN funds for the new
building. The personnel enhancement package was moved
inside of DCI Guidance. Fitzwater noted that the power plant is
a disaster waiting to happen. After further consideration,
funding for powerhouse improvements were deferred to 1986 and it
was agreed that a letter would be sent by the DCI to GSA
proposing that CIA assume responsibility for owerhotise
operations. It was also agreed that the new ~ initiative
.for provides the potential to collect important
intelligence and should move up from its Over Guidance position
and be combined with the on-going initiative.
Mr. Hineman agreed to look for in S&'I' mone'v and
Mr. Stein acknowledged that he possibly could divert

the following years.
11. The Deputy T~irectors agreed to review their programs
and to advise the Comptroller by the following day as to how thee
could shift funding. The final result of these reviews is
contained in the Comptroller's memorandum, CIA Program for 1985-
1989 of 28 June 1983, attached.
