SUBJECT CIA Recruiting
RENEE POUSSAINT: There's a certain company in
Washington that's looking for local recruits. It's the Company,
.also known as the Central Intelligence Agency.
But News 7's Carlos Ramirez says, despite high
unemployment, some people still refuse to spy.
[Clip of CIA commercial].
MAN: To you we say these are times to put your training
and ability to work where it really counts, at the CIA.
[End of clip].
CARLOS RAMIREZ: That's part of a commercial running on
two Washington area radio stations this week. The Agency is
looking for new recruits. But if what we found downtown is any
sample, the Agency may have problems.
MAN: The CIA? No. I wouldn't even consider it.
RAMIREZ: Why not?
MAN: Things they've done in the past.
SECOND MAN: I don't think I'd be interested in working
for the CIA.
RAMIREZ: But according to the Agency's Deputy Director
for Personnel and Recruitment, recently they've been swamped,
2,000 applicants a week, 1,000 resumes.
OFFICES IN: WASHINGTON D.C, ? NEW YORK ? LOS ANGELES ? CHICAGO ? DETROIT ? AND OTHER PRINCIPAL CITIES

Can you tell me how large the Agency is? How many...
DEP. DIR. FOR PERSONNEL & RECRUITMENT WILSON: I'm
sorry. I can't answer that question.
RAMIREZ: Can you tell me how many people you're hoping
WILSON: I'm sorry. I can't answer that question.
RAMIREZ: Well, there are some things you can't discuss.
You know, top secret and all stuff. But Wilson did say there are
openings in 104 different positions ranging from economic
researchers and electronic technicians, to agents, you know,
spies.
WILSON: I would rather not use the word spy. But, in
effect, it is an individual who is trained to go abroad in
various foreign countries and to collect human intelligence...
RAMIREZ: Wilson says the Agency has suffered no RIFs
recently, and these attempts to bolster the staff were aimed at
broadening intelligence world-wide. Starting salaries range from
ten to twenty-five thousand dollars, depending upon the job and
the experience.
And so, if you're interested in joining the CIA, the
number to call is [beep]. Oh, that's right. They asked us not
to give out the number, for security reasons. You're asked to
write.
Carlos Ramirez, News 7.
DAVID SCHOUMACHER: We'll keep their secret. You can't
write 7 -- you can't call Paul Berry, you can't call the CIA.
