Equal Employment Opportunity--Overview
The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity was created in July 1975
and was placed in the DCI area as an independent office. In August 1983,
when the Office of Personnel was incorporated into the DDA structure, the
EEO Office was placed under the Office of Personnel for general guidance,
25X1 tasking, and accountability.
The CIA's equal employment opportunity and affirmative action program
is a multifaceted effort. Since the program's inception some 13 years ago,
it has focused on recruitment and retention of women and minorities, and on
the development of their careers through skills training and
awareness-building efforts. In recent years the EEO office has taken maior
steps to broaden awareness and sensitivity training for managers and
employees, and covers a comprehensive spectrum of minority and women's
issues. We are continuing to make progress in these areas but we still have
25X1 a way to go.
During FY-87 the Director of EEO, three. specific Program Managers
(Hispanic Employment, Black Affairs, and Asian-Pacific-American), as well as
the four Directorate EEO representatives aggressively participated in the
minority recruitment effort while providing assistance to the Age
25X1 regionally based recruiter facilities. In FY-87, the Agency hired
25X1 minorities (doubling the FY-86 figure of and women for fu ume
25X1 permanent employment.
SPECIAL EEO ORIENTED PROGRAMS
Three EEO oriented programs--Minority Student Symposium, Summer
Fellowship, and Minority Undergraduate--are in direct support of the
minority recruitment effort. These programs are being expanded and, with
greater administrative support from the Office of Employment, should play an
important role in helping the Agency develop recruitment feeder groups and
recruitment networks at the Historically Black Colleges and Universities
25X1 (HBCUs) and other schools with significant minority enrollments.
-Minority Student Symposium
This promising effort was introduced in FY-86 and was continued in
FY-87. On 27-28 April 1987, the Office of EEO sponsored a second "minority
symposium" that attracted 35 minority students and 10 placement
representatives from 10 different colleges/universities. The group received
a series of indepth briefings concerning our mission and objectives. The
students were enrolled in science, engineering, political science, and
economics study p rams at HBCUs and two universities with high Hispanic
25X1 representation.

-Summer Fellowship Program
This program, which began in 1980, has proven to be an excellent
developer of supportive contacts at the HBCUs and at the same time offers
opportunities for staff personnel at these schools to strengthen their own
skills. By placing a small number of faculty and administrators of HBCUs,
regardless of their ethnic background, into regular Agency assignments
during the summer months, the participants gain valuable experience in their
fields and the Agency improves its relations with the schools. Since the
program's inception, we have averaged about six per year. However, in
FY-87, we EOD'd 11 academicians from 10 colleges/universities for summer
25X1 employment. This represents a near 50% increase over our FY-86 effort.
-The Student Scholar Program
In response to a Congressional directive in section 506 of the
Intelligence Authorization Act, the Agency developed an undergraduate
training program that will lead to baccalaureate degrees and intelligence
careers for high school students interested in and capable of developing
skills critical to the Agency's mission. This program, designed
particularly for minorities and the disabled, will provide tuition
assistance and CIA work experience to students pursuing intelligence-related
studies with the understanding that they will become full-time CIA employees
upon graduation. We began implementing this program in April 1987 with a
goal of bringing 5 students on board. Our efforts attracted some 107
applications with 26 students being placed in process. Of these, 19 were
fully cleared to EOD and 11 entered on duty on 28 September 1987. These
students, with an average SAT score of 1000 and a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale,
25X1 represented 7 schools from 5 states.
-Minority Undergraduate Program (MUPS)
This novel program was first introduced in the Directorate of
Intelligence in 1984 and has since been expanded to two other Directorates.
Under this program, promising minority undergraduates receive an early
introduction to the CIA through a summer work experience linked to their
formal academic studies. Also, the program affords the Agency an
opportunity to evaluate potential future employees and guide them into
course work that will prepare them for careers within our various
25X1 components.
In FY-86 six students, out of some 25 applicants from HBCUs,
participated in the summer program, and were hired for full-time staff
employment. The program for FY-87 was expanded in two ways. Two of our
major components--the Directorate of Administration and the Directorate of
Science and Technology--joined the Directorate of Intelligence in

participating, and thereby significantly increased the number of summer
placement opportunities. Also, minority students--Hispanics, Asian-Pacific
Americans, Native Americans, and Blacks--from all colleges and universities
(not just HBCUs) are being invited to participate. In FY-87 we entered on
duty some 16 students, thereby more than doubling our FY-86 effort. We plan
to continue to broaden and expand the Minority Undergraduate Program in
25X1 future years.
Tuition Assistance Program
This program, managed exclusively by the Office of Personnel, was
established to assist students currently enrolled in one of the Agency's
student programs, to help defray the high cost of receiving a college
education. Eligible students can receive tuition payments up to $2,000
provided they return to the Agency as a staff employee upon graduation. An
additional sum of up to $500 will be provided each student with 3.5 or
higher G.P.A. Financial assistance has already been _provided to over 103
25X1 students from 42 different academic institutions.
Upward Mobility
The Agency's Upward Mobility Program offers career opportunities to
male and female technical and clerical employees at grades GS-09 and below.
25X1 From its inception in 1980 through 1986, some. 100 employees
female) were moved into technical and officer positions through this
25X1 program.
In FY-87 we dipped below expectations, placing 12 employees; of this
number, 9 were female and 5 were minorities. In FY-86, no minorities
25X1 participated in the program.
Training Opportunities
The ()EEO office participates actively in formal Agency training
courses. A new and comprehensive management training program has been
developed by the Office of Training that will now help all new managers to
become familiar with EEO issues. It is an effort to further sensitize and
25X1 educate our next generation of supervisors and managers.
In FY-87 the Urban Awareness Seminar conducted by Dr. Charles King,
President of the Urban Crisis Center in Atlanta, Georgia, was offered nine
times, reaching approximately 250 employees. Since 1980 the EEO Office has
contracted with Dr. King to provide these seminars in an effort to help
participants develop a better understanding of how differences of race,
culture, ethnicity, and socio-economics impact on the day-to-vrlations
25X1 between whites, blacks, other minorities, and men and women.

The OEEO's Federal Women's Program sponsored three training courses
offering 26 different runnings in FY 1987. The Professional Women's Course
in 10 sessions trained 250 women, the Professional Men's Course trained 200
male managers in 10 training sessions and the new Women's Executive
Leadership Development Course was offered in 6 sessions and trained 150
women. These courses provide substantive training, information, and role
experiences from different perspectives to teach leaders of both sexes to
understand and accommodate gender differences and leadership styles in the
work place. The desired result is a more effective utilization of the
talents and human resources available to the Agency in its female work
force. These courses also prpidareness training for an increasing
25X1 number of Agency employees.
In FY 1987, the Office of EEO offered a pilot running of a new EEO for
Managers course. This one-day program emphasized the active role and
responsibility a manager must play in order to avoid and correct problems
that lead to discrimination complaints. The course was attended by 40
employees who are managers or in some way affect employees' careers, and
their reaction to it supported our plan to offer the course three times in
in FY 1988. This is part of a continuing effort to prevent situations that
give rise to complaints of discrimination and to help managers and others to
25X1 understand their role in EEO matters.
25X1
The Office of Logistics--one of our principal employers of wage grade
workers and minorities--has devised a Blue Collar Mid-Career course,
paralleling a similar Agency-wide course for professional employees. The
"Blue Collar" course is intended to provide a broadening experience and new
insights on career opportunities for workers with demonstrated potential for
advancement. In the first two runnings of the course, some thirty percent
of the participants were represented by women and minorities. This high
level of minority and female participation is expected to continue.
Contract with Minority-Owned Business
The General Services Administration (GSA) has been closely involved in
every aspect of the construction of the New Headquarters Building. Working
through GSA and the Small Business Administration, the Agency awarded a
contract for $5.7 - $7.0 million to Robert Clay Corporation of Baltimore.
According to GSA, this was the largest single contract which had been
25X1 awarded to date to a minority-owned small business.

COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
PURPOSE AND PROPOSAL
The Agency proposes to establish a college scholarship program for
high-aptitude high school students as mandated by Sections 505 and 506 of
HPSCI's Intelligence Authorization Bill. This program will target
students whose field of study matches areas of critical Agency recruiting
needs. In addition, the program will concentrate on significant minority
participation, and where possible, the disabled.
PROCEDURES
The Agency will enter into a contractual arrangement with Scholarship
Selection Services of Educational Testing Services (ETS), Princeton, NJ,
to identify high-aptitude high school students, especially those from
minority groups, from which we will select candidates for this program.
We plan to hire five students the first year and expand by five students
a year to a maximum of 20 students per year. Those students hired in
this program must meet Agency medical and security requirements and begin
their first work period the summer following high school graduation.
They will be hired as a GS-02 and be promoted yearly, based on
satisfactory course work and job performance. After college graduation,
they will be eligible for promotion to a general professional entry grade
level not lower than a GS-07.
