MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief
.DDl OCI Admin
SUBJECT: Overtime for Personnel Assigned to the Situation Room
Per my conversation with of your office,
we have reviewed the overtime requirements for the eight
CIA personnel assigned to the White House Situation Room
in light of Bulletin No. 67-3 from the Director. Bureau of
the Budget.
In the case of the five junior officers who provide
around-the-clock coverage on a shift basis, their hours can
be adjusted to avoid overtime except where necessary to fill
in because of unexpected illness or in cases where two or
more employees must be absent. Overtime for these employees
would be the exception rather than the rule, and would occur
only in extreme emergencies.
Because it is in the interest of national security that
a senior officer be available for the entire Z4-hour period of
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, it is our opinion that the
8-hour per pay period average overtime for each of the three
senior officers is essential and should be continued. The only
other alternative would be to employ additional personnel.
A review of the cost-benefit ratio between doing this and
authorizing overtime indicates overtime would be the
appropriate choice.
