MEMORANDUM FOR THE DDCI
SUBJECT Agency's Entry on Duty Processing System - Inspection Report
REFERENCE: Your memo dated 13 January 1983, same subject
1. Referent memorandum addresses both the Career Trainee program and EOD processing
~~across-the-board, and calls for a status report. The Inspector General's report on EOD
processing has been received and will be sent to you separately. It contains eleven
recommendations, eight of which represent improvements to the existing system, are not
controversial and are being implemented or are easily implementable. The remaining

processing system, . with. which there are strong reactions from OP, OS or OMS. Certainly
decisions on these recommendations will affect future CT processing as well as your
charge to streamline the whole system.
Status: CT Task Force
2. Sam has been working full time for one month now. Phy?,,ical consolidation in
Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for February, with the DO/CMS branch of ten moving
into the EEO space. [Those peripatetic souls will go first to Ames, then finally to
fied 2 DI, 1 DA and 2/3 more DO officers plus 3/4 clerical to add to the Task Force.
Secure phones are available, but one green line addition for the vacated OEEO space is
required. A temporary fan account has been established for Sam to control, which will
include both the extant OP and CMS accounts; Sam estimates a need for an additional
$3-400,000. DDA cooperation on administrative details has been superb.
3. As of 20 January, files in process numbered this will rise to 0 as 25X1
of 31 January (when all data are in), or about 10% a'Dove December. The impact of the
advertising campaign and more aggressive recruiting begun before formation of the Task
Force is beginning to show. The two DI additions will increase the "academic associates"
program undertaken now by two DO officers; currently 132 faculty members from 60 univer-
sities are involved. Only 13 faculty members contacted . refused to help, and none of
them angrily. Sam plans to lean more heavily on these academic contacts than on
advertising. He plans to head for Boston and New York in about three weeks, after
co-location occurs; then travel every several weeks to other, locations.
4. Sam projects that we will not reach 190 by 1 October but do expect to do so
by the end of the calendar year. Given the success of putting DDI applicants in the
pipeline, this is probably fortuitous, since if we did get them all in FY 83, we'd
probably have to hold off on some of Gates' people. Then, too, there are classroom and

billeting capacity problems, currently being used at 90' capacity. Had we 25X1
got them, we could have trained 120 CTs. [But also, we could go back to three
classes at 60 each over a 15 month period.]
5. Retirements and reassignments will address the faculty issues a~ OTE 25X1
is having difficulty lining up 22 instructors and the DDO must get behind that effort.
Future staffing planning should ensure that half the staff doesn't turn over at one
time.
Overall Applicant Processing
6. Attached is a brief report from Jim Glerum,.summarizing the visible beginnings
of changes introduced in the-existing EOD processing system. Included are a reflection
of better focused requirements, a reduction in the.pipeline of 35%, OMS reduction in
PATB processing time, gain.from'the security expeditor effort and a doubling of OS
polygraph capability beginning.. this month.
7. Also relevant to streamlining, of course, is the planned location of inter-
Building. I have told Sam and Jim 25X1
that a desirable goal would be. to have-made sufficient progress on the CT front (as
well as other processing.`areas) that we could abolish the Task Force at about the time
the last unit moves into the 0 Building, assuming that will occur toward the 25X1
end of the calendar year.
