MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD OF THE CLARK COMMITTEE
Office of Personnel
1. Colonel Miller stated (i~, reference to his proposed visit to
the DCI's office) that he wished to save this until the end of his tour,
as there were others he wished to visit s~gain before the conclusion of
his observations. Among these he listed Dr. Kent, to clarify some
questions on ONE and Mr. Kirkpatrick for, as he said, "My first visit
with the IG was so cloaked in secrecy that I got not one iota of in-
formation from him.
2. In regard to his visit is the IOr, Colonel Miller will be part-
icularly interested in exit interviews, what purpose they serve, and
what use is made of comments obtained.
3. During their tour of Personnel, horses were exchanged rapidlg
in mid-stream! Miller and Mc(irudar attended the entire first day.
McGruder attended-alone the first half of the second day, and then left
for good (overseas); Miller took up the "duty" at 1100 the second day.
1~. McGruder felt that there should be a freer exchange of person-
nel experience between CIA and the Services. He felt that CIA was nat
giving enough in return for what it was necessary in the way of "free
experience"obtained from the armed forces, due to overly strict
security regulations on our part. He felt that since we were obtaining
"free information" on personnel management and control it should release
funds for other endeavors.
5. At least three hours ware spent tossing about the pros and cons
of divided responsibility for fob designation, classification, and wages
between Personnel, Management, and the responsible end-office concerned,
with as many justifications raised and ideas aubmi,.tted as time would al-
low - with no d?finite sutr?nations or conclusions reached: McGruder and
Miller, although they profess to be at least partially knowledgeable of
this subject (and at most, elctremely interested in the subject} came up
with no profound recommendations for improvement, although they did not
indicate they approved of all that was being done. Colonel Miller later
told me he was not a$i- all convinced that the Agency had been able to
properly classify all positions according to grade, and that in his es-
timation the "grey area" (where a dab could well slip into the next
higher or lower grade without any dti.fficulty} was far higher than we
cared to admit. He feels this 3.s especially serious in light of our

this situation to promote and. free-Yhe~l according to their own
dictates.
6, Colonel Mi.]..3.er, an the subject of personnel procurement,
played his old theme of time-lad between contact ana actual employ-
ment. From a financial viewpoint (and loss of qualified manpower)
he feels this is a liability of no mean proportion which should be
seriously considered.
