SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 6 September 1985
1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI:
None.
2. Items/events of interest:
25X1

25X1
a. The Office of Logistics (OL) is hosting the third annual Focal
Point Conference on 5 and 6 September. The conference will include
representatives from OL; Office of Finance (OF); Counterterrorism,
Paramilitary, and Narcotics Staff, Directorate of Operations (DO); Central
Cover Staff/DO and all the military services.
b. On behalf of the Analytic Support Group, Directorate of
Intelligence (DI), OL has contracted with Kurzweil Computer Products for the
acquisition of a state-of-the-art optical
"learning" new characters and type fonts.
The turnaround of this procurement
was 10 days in order for the DI to benefit from a 10 percent promotional
discount offered by Kurzweil for a limited time.
c. OL reports that surveyors have begun work on Routes 123 and 193
(and the George Washington Memorial Parkway) marking the new location of these
roadways near the Headquarters entrance. Design and construction drawings are
to be finished by early spring 1986 with construction to take place
immediately thereafter. Traffic control and routing during construction are
an integral part of this design effort to keep impact on traffic flow in the
area to a minimum.

d. A contract has been awarded by the Federal Highway Administration
to construct an acceleration lane on the George Washington Memorial Parkway
going west towards the Beltway and Cabin John Bridge. Work on the project
will start the week of 9 September and will be completed before winter sets in
this year. Completion of this improvement will eliminate a serious safety
hazard which presently exists in this area.
e. Representatives from Printing and Photography Division (P&PD/OL)
met with representatives from the DI on 30 August to discuss the DI's
initiative for electronic dissemination of current intelligence publications,
e.g., the President's Daily Brief and the National Intelligence Daily. In
turn, the DI representatives were provided a briefing of P&PD's Digital
Prepress System. It is apparent that the DI initiative should fit
hand-in-hand with P&PD's initiative to automate the publication process
throughout the Agency during the 1987-1990 fiscal years. In addition,
cooperation and coordination between the two components will directly benefit
the Agency's ability to distribute quickly electronic and printed intelligence
documents to policymakers.
g. OL assisted the EEO Hispanic Coordinator with insuring and posting
an exhibit of oil and watercolor paintings in the 1D Exhibit Hall,
Headquarters. The show, 'Artists Along the Border,' will be shown from
3 - 30 September.
h. Allied has awarded contracts to three companies to perform various
tasks needed to refurbish the DCI garage. Work will be completed after-hours
and is scheduled from 4 - 30 September.
j. The Non-Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA) Job Fair, held at
the Hyatt Regency Capital Hill, was attended by three office of Communications
(OC) representatives on 23 August. It was estimated that between 300 and 500
interested military personnel stopped by the booth to inquire about employment
with CIA.

M. The seventh increment of OSS records, consisting of 102 cubic feet
of Propaganda Charts, Algiers Files, Washington Field Office Miscellaneous
Records, and OSS Field Station Operations and Services Records, has been
transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). This
brings the total volume of OSS records transferred to NARA to 1,017 cubic
feet. A request to transfer an additional 214 cubic feet is being prepared.
n. The current Information and Privacy backlogs are: initial
requests, 2,091 and requests in administrative appeal, 175.
o. The Office of Training and Education (OTE) is offering another
running of the USSR Country Survey in the Chamber of Commerce Building from
3 - 13 September. The course is a broad-ranging survey of the history,
geography, economics, and politics of the Soviet Union, followed by an
examination of Soviet relations with various world regions and a class
exercise on Politburo decisionmaking on foreign affairs. Among the highlights
for this running are a discussion of life in the USSR today led by Chie
25X1 Soviet/East European Division/DO and
25X1
25X1 Some 35 applicants signed up
for the class, but 10 had to be put in the queue for the next running.
Maximum enrollment is held at 25 due to classroom facilities and course
activities.
p. The support segment of the Career Trainee Development Course
(CTDC), the instructional block that is designed to show the routine and
unique support the Directorate of Administration provides to the Agency, is
being especially well received by Career Trainees (CTs) in the July 1985
class. CT reactions have been especially strop to sessions by the DDA,
Director of Personnel, Director of Finance, and a security
officer who did a presentation on Overseas Security Support.

q. The Office of Personnel (OP) reports the following Career Trainee
items of interest:
(1) Letters were mailed to 36 U.S. Naval officers separating from
the service during September/October 1985 who meet initial CT selection
criteria. Also, letters were mailed to 145 Air Force Officers, bringing the
Air Force total up to 677. To date, 55 have completed resume forms as a
result of this effort.
(2) OP received 116 responses to a recent Spanish-language
advertising campaign in Puerto Rico. After an initial screening, 57 inquiries
remain under consideration.
(3) An OP representative visited nine universities in Idaho,
Utah, Montana, and Washington, speaking with Placement Directors and selected
faculty members at each. The contacts made and information gathered will be
used to set up programs in selected schools later this fall and/or in the
spring of 1986.
s. Publicity surrounding the 'pay freeze' signed by the President has
caused concern among Agency employees who mistakenly believed that this would
preclude PSIS and promotions. Many phone calls have come in from employees
and personnel officers asking for clarification on the freeze, the effective
date, and so on. Assurances were given that this 'freeze' applies only to
Legislative Pay Increases, and only until January 1987. A WWSB and Employee
Bulletin are being distributed to all employees explaining the President's pay
freeze action.
t. Efforts to enlist active support of our alumni association,
Central Intelligence Retirees Association (CIRA), moved forward this week when
five CIRA officials, two representing Florida Chapters, were provided a full
day of briefings on recruitment issues and updates by representatives from the
Directorates of Administration, Intelligence, Operations, and Science and
Technology. The Deputy Director for Employment hosted a luncheon for the CIRA
members in the Executive Dining Room which included the Deputy Director for
Administration, the Director of Personnel, and the Acting Chief, Recruitment
Operations Division. The CIRA members expressed appreciation and enthusiasm
for the time and energy devoted by the participants, and they left encouraged
that they will be able to act as spotters of potential applicants for the
Agency.
