MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 25 October 1985
1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI:
None.
2. Items/events of interest:
a. The Director of Personnel (D/OP) and Deputy Director of Personnel
for Employee Benefits and Services met with Charles Battaglia and John Nelson
of the SSCI Staff regarding retirement legislation. The D/OP briefed the
staffers on why Agency employees are different from other civil servants and
defined why we propose to treat these differences in a retirement benefits
package. Based upon input from the SSCI staffers, we are drafting language
for an amendment to CIARDS that would be introduced by Senator Durenberger as
an addition to the Roth/Stevens retirement proposal. A similar amendment is
being tacked on to the Roth/Stevens Bill for State and Foreign Service
employees. Present plans are to obtain Agency management's approval of the
draft legislation prior to presenting it to the SSCI staffers on
25 October.
b. Earlier last week, Employee Benefits and Services' representatives
and our retirement consultant met with Russ Neeley, our office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Examiner, to discuss the Agency's proposed retirement
legislation and to provide clarification on the methodology used to obtain
estimated cost figures for our proposal. The meeting was extremely beneficial
because we were able to inform and correct some misunderstandings related to
the structure of our proposal and its basic contents. Biweekly meetings will
be scheduled to keep our Examiner updated on our retirement proposal.

c. The OP/Hispanic Employment Program Manager recruited at eleven
colleges and universities in the Southwest and also attended three Career
Fairs. Discussions were held with over 300 students, 55 were specifically
interviewed, and 75 PHS packages were given.
d. The OP/Asian Pacific American (APA) Program Manager visited six
universities and four APA cultural centers in the San Francisco area. In
addition, other Equal Employment Opportunity representatives made trips to the
Universities of Virginia and Arkansas to attend Career Fairs where 30 PHS
packages were given.
e. Representatives from the Career Trainee Division and the Office of
Training and Education (OTE) travelled to Puerto Rico to interview 125 Career
Trainee (CT) prospects in response to campus recruitment efforts and media
advertising. Special PATB's were arranged for 40 aspirants, and 12 PHS
packages were distributed. The CT prospects whose English was very good
looked competitive with the majority of the students from the university
majoring in engineering, law, pre-medicine or business. With a favorable
response to the PATB, this experience might suggest future annual visits to
Puerto Rico. To date we have received 308 responses to the ad campaign, and
more are being received each week.
f. Approximately 300 letters with an accompanying CT flyer and the
Clandestine Service brochure were sent to department heads and chairpersons of
political science/international relations at colleges and universities across
the country. Early calls of inquiry from about eight students from various
campuses indicate that the CT mail campaign is on target and producing the
desired result. Our plan is to continue mailing such letters to all the
chairpersons in the catalog furnished by the American Political Science
Association.
g. Responses from the Newsweek advertisement are continuing to
increase and totaled 339 as.of 18 October. Regional Recruitment Activity
Centers have received 166 resumes for follow-up, 23 have been sent directly to
the CT Division for action, and the remaining 150 have been rejected.
14 October through the use of radio broadcasts announcing employment
opportunities to the Hispanic communities in the Southwestern part of the
h. Another milestone in recruitment was achieved during the week of
reported receiving approximately 40 resumes and averaged approximately 1-10
telephone calls per day.
United States. As of 18 October,

i. Retirement Division/OP is now gearin up for its annual year-end
25X1 surge of retirements. Thus far, approximately at
the SIS level) have either signed or expressed an intent to sign applications
to retire during the period October through 3 January 1986. Of that number,
the vast majority will be retiring on 3 January. For comparison urposes,
25X1 last year during this period there were F-Iretirements of which were SIS.

k. Because of the current emphasis on diet and fitness that affects
even CIA employees, we were surprised to note recently the enormous amount of
candy being purchased by our employees. A recent review of the EAA Store's
records revealed that from last December through June 1985, over four tons of
Russell Stover Chocolates had been sold, a record in the metropolitan area
exceeded only by the Dart Drug chain. We realize our candy prices are
competitive but can you imagine such a sweet tooth!
m. The Office of Logistics (OL) has been requested to photograph the
portraits of Central Intelligence Agency Directors. The 8- by 10-inch
negatives of the photographs will be sent to the National Archives

for their "Official Portraits" collection. Because of the need for archival
quality, special black and white film and developer had to be acquired.
p. A milestone was reached on 16 October when the last two circuits
using vintage KW-26 cryptographic equipment were converted. While the KW-26s
served the Office of Communications (OC) well for more than a quarter century,
no time was wasted in removing these last units from the equipment inventory.
s. On 21 October, at the request of the FBI representative to the
Security Awareness and Educators Subcommittee, an OS representative provided
an overview of OS to three FBI security program staffers. In an effort to
obtain guidance for restructuring its security element, the FBI sought
information from OS on how the Office is structured to handle its missions and
functions.

v. During the office records survey of the Office of Legislative
Liaison (OLL) by the Office of Information Services (OIS), approximately 60
feet of records relating to the Church Committee were located. OIS will
review the material to see if it qualifies for inclusion in the RIMS data base
(a computerized data base of released/withheld information).
w. The backlog of initial FOIA and Privacy Act requests continues
downward. It now stands at 1,909. A researcher asking for records on
Amelia Earhart suggests we check records concerning the liberation of a
Japanese prison camp by the OSS in China in 1945. Evan Hendricks of PRIVACY
TIMES was sent copies of the Agency's two semi-annual reports to Congress in
response to his request for information indicating CIA's progress in reducing
the FOIA backlog.
x. A member of the Office of Medical Services (OMS) addressed the
Personal Security Course and the DOS's FSI Coping With Violence Abroad Seminar
on 'Hostage Survival.' Also, a member of OMS addressed a group of senior
Pakistani officials at the DOS's Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program.
y. Because of interest from several offices in the Agency, the Office
of Training and Education (OTE) is videotaping selected speakers of the Soviet
Realities Course. On 21 October, two speakers--Michael Voslensky, a prominent
Soviet historian, graduate of Moscow University and author of a book entitled
The Soviet Nomenclatura and Boris M. Bochstein, a former journalist of
Moskovskaya Pravda, spoke in Russian. Copies of the tapes will be available
in OTE.
Z. This running of the Introduction to CIA Course will premier a new
exercise designed to demonstrate how all four Directorates function in
response to a U.S. policy directive for intelligence on an area of strategic
importance. The exercise, based on a fictional country, requires students to
analyze how each Directorate would contribute to or support intelligence
gathering efforts and then analyze that intelligence for policymakers. This
project was designed to give new employees a comprehensive look at the scope
of Agency missions and capabilities as well as provide a mechanism for
integrating all the speakers within the course.
aa. The Executive Development Program's three-day seminar on
'Program/Project Management' was held 15 - 17 October. Highlights of the
Seminar were the sessions with two Vice-Presidents from the Lockheed Missile
and Space Corporation, Robert Kohler and Robert Crotser, and with
Dr. Barry Stein, management consultant, who did much of the research for the
book The Change Masters dealing with innovation and entrepreneurship in the
American corporation. A common theme that surfaced throughout the Seminar was
the importance and impact of human behavioral differences and personalities on
the success of large programs/projects for both the contractor and the
customer.

bb. The eight-day S&T segment of the Career Trainee Development
Course (CTDC) concluded on 18 October with an intra-Directorate,
interactive exercise which has counterterrorism as its theme. Earlier in the
instructional block, class sessions were focused on imagery and signals
collection, emerging technologies, research and development efforts that are
under way within the Agency, and S&T support to the Directorate of Operations.
cc. The Editorial Board of Studies of Intelligence met
18 - 19 October to review 27 submissions for publication in
the quarterly. (Five years ago at the fall meeting of the Board, there had
been none!) The fall issue of Studies of Intelligence will mark the 30th
anniversary of the journal.
