Even before Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was concerned about American intelligence deficiencies. He asked New York lawyer William J. Donovan to draft a plan for an intelligence service. The Office of Strategic Services was established in June 1942 with a mandate to collect and analyze strategic information required by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and to conduct special operations not assigned to other agencies. During the War it supplied policymakers with essential facts and intelligence estimates and often played an important role in directly aiding military campaigns. But the OSS never received complete jurisdiction over all foreign intelligence activities. Since the early 1930s the FBI had been responsible for intelligence work in Latin America, and the military services protected their areas of responsibility. In October 1945, the OSS was disbanded and its functions absorbed by the State and War Departments. But the heed for a postwar centralized intelligence system was clearly recognized. Eleven months earlier, Donovan, by then a Major General, had submitted to President Roosevelt a proposal calling for the separation of OSS from the Joint Chiefs of Staff with the new organization having direct Presidential supervision. Donovan proposed an "organization which will procure intelligence both by overt and covert methods and will at the same time provide intelligence guidance, determine national intelligence objectives, and correlate the intelligence material collected by all government agencies." Under his plan, a powerful centralized agency would have coordinated all the intelligence services. He also proposed that this agency have authority to conduct "subversive operations abroad," but "no police or law enforcement functions, either at home or abroad." Donovan's plan drew heavy fire. The military services generally opposed a complete merger. The State Department thought it should supervise all peacetime operations affecting foreign relations. The FBI supported a system whereby military intelligence worldwide would be handled by the armed services and all civilian activities under its own jurisdiction. In response to this policy debate, President Harry S. Truman established the Central Intelligence Group in January 1946, directing it to coordinate existing departmental intelligence, supplementing but not supplanting their services. This was all to be done under the direction of the National Intelligence Authority composed of a Presidential representative, and the Secretaries of State, War and Navy. Rear Admiral Sidney W. Souers, USNR, who was the Deputy Chief of Naval Intelligence, was appointed the first Director of Central Intelligence. Twenty months later, the NIA and its operating component, the CIG, were disestablished. Under the provisions of the National Security Act of 1947 (which became effective on 18 September 1947) the National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency were established. 1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Most of the statute's specific assignments given the CIA, as well as the prohibitions on police and internal security functions, closely follow both the original 1944 Donovan plan and the Presidential directive creating the CIG. The 1947 Act charged the CIA with coordinating the nation's intelligence activities and correlating, evaluating and disseminating intelligence which affects national security. In addition, the Agency was to perform such other duties and functions related to intelligence as the NSC might direct. The Act also made the DCI responsible for protecting intelligence sources and methods. It was further stated that both the Director and the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence were to be appointed by the President, subject to confirmation by the Senate. An amendment of 4 April 1953 authorized such appointments to be made either from individuals in civilian life or from commissioned officers of the armed services, either in active or retired status, provided that "at no time shall the two positions . . . be occupied simultaneously by commissioned officers." In 1949, the Central Intelligence Agency Act was passed supplementing the 1947 Act. Congress enacted additional provisions permitting the Agency to use confidential fiscal and administrative procedures and exempting CIA from many of the usual limitations on the expenditure of federal funds. It provided that CIA funds could be included in the budgets of other departments and then transferred to the Agency without regard to the restrictions placed on the initial appropriation. This Act is the statutory authority for the secrecy of the Agency's budget. In order to further protect intelligence sources and methods from disclosure, the 1949 Act exempted the CIA from having to disclose its "organization, functions, names, officials, titles, salaries, or numbers of personnel employed." Under these acts of Congress, the Director serves as the principal adviser to the President and the National Security Council on all matters of foreign intelligence related to the national security. CIA's responsibilities are carried out subject to various directives and controls by the President and the NSC. Today the CIA reports regularly to the Senate and House Select Committees on Intelligence and the Senate and House Appropriations Committees. 2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 INDEX OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES (Identify your major discipline, note the directorate or directorates that hire people with your major.

It is highly selective. It offers career opportunities in all four Directorates (i.e. Collection, Analysis, Science & Technology and Admin- istration). It provides broad exposure to a wide range of Agency programs through lectures as well as intensive skills training. It enables the Career Trainee to gain valuable work experience in a truly challenging environment with professionals who are the best in a variety of fields. The Career Training Program seeks applicants from a wide variety of academic fields of study and life experiences. Candidates with majors in all academic disciplines?Agriculture through Zoology?are welcome. All qualified applicants have: ? First and foremost, the drive to achieve. They are oriented towards action and results. ? Force of personality and a gift for dealing effectively with people. ? Bachelor's degree (at least) with a consistently high level of academic performance. ? Exceptional skill in both written and oral communications. ? Impeccable standards of personal and professional ethics. ? U.S. citizenship. Maximum age 35 Upon entry on duty. The Career Training Program curriculum involves approximately one year of formal training and internship for each of its participants, depending on their ultimate Directorate assignment. Career Trainees entering the Operations Directorate can expect additional training as appropriate in foreign languages and area familiarization to prepare them for overseas assignments. Selection for the Career Trainee Program involves an extensive and interactive assessment of each candidate, including multiple interviews and testing. The assessment process is designed to insure the best possible match between the capabilities and needs of the applicant and the requirements of the Agency. This process takes time, but for those who succeed it has historically produced careers that provide a high level of personal satisfaction and fulfillment.

The DCI is the primary foreign intelligence adviser to the President and the National Security Council, the principal intelligence officer of the Government, and the head of the Central Intelligence Agency. The DDCI is the DCI's principal deputy; by law he acts for and exercises the powers of the DCI during his absence or disability. The Executive Director is responsible for acting on behalf of the DCI and the DDCI in the overall management of CIA. Although these offices are ordinarily staffed by experienced personnel from within the Agency, some staff are recruited externally by independent offices in the DCI Area and the History Staff in the Executive Secretariat. Separate descriptions of opportunities in each of these offices follow. History Staff Office of the Director The CIA History Staff, in the Office of the Director of Central Intelligence, has three principal objectives: to help preserve the Agency's historical records and institutional memory, to provide a specialized reference service, and to research and write the history of CIA. The Chief Historian is responsible to the Director of Central Intelligence for developing and implementing the Agency's History Program. The History Staff writes classified histories of CIA, its activities, development and role in government. It is also CIA's principal point of contact for other U.S. Government historical offices, especially those that need access to CIA records. As a result of the CIA Information Act of 1984 the History Staff has an important role in the Agency's new Historical Review Program, which reviews older records for declassification and transfer to the National Archives. The History Staff is responsible for liaison with the historical profession on this program, and for advising on the selection of historically important records for declassification review. The History Staff has a strength of four staff historians in addition to its Chief, Deputy Chief and support personnel. Although these historians work principally on extended historical studies, their duties also include a wide range of related work in response to the needs of the Agency. History Staff Office of the Director GENERIC LISTING OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES STAFF HISTORIANS: A Ph.D. degree (preferably in recent U.S. diplomatic or military history) is required. Staff Historians work in the Washington, D.C. area, writing classified histories of CIA. First-class historical research and writing skills are required, while editing, archival or official history experience are desirable. Grade range: GS-12 to GS-13. 17 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL The General Counsel is responsible for counseling the Director of Central Intelligence on all legal matters relating to his leading role within the Intelligence Community and his duties as head of the CIA. The General Counsel also is responsible for advising CIA employees on legal issues concerning the conduct of Agency activities. When the responsibilities of the General Counsel and his role in CIA activities greatly expanded in the 1970's, so did the size of the Office of General Counsel. Partially as a result of this large expansion and the relative rapidity with which it took place, the attorneys in the Office are relatively young. The majority of the current staff have joined the Office either from private firms, or positions with the U.S. military or other civilian government agencies, although about a fifth of the attorneys have come to the Office directly out of law school or from a judicial clerkship. The background of the attorneys in the Office are quite diverse, with nearly half having worked in some other profession either before or following law school. The law schools represented in the Offices are also wide-ranging: nearly half of the attorneys graduated from the University of Virginia, Georgetown, George Washington or American University; the others graduated from a variety of law schools located throughout the United States, including Boston University; Dickinson; Florida State; Harvard; Santa Clara; Tulane; the Universities of Chicago, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin; Wayne State; William and Mary; and Yale. A number of our attorneys were members of their law review or journal, and several hold advanced degrees in law and related subjects. The function of an attorney in the Office of General Counsel is primarily that of in-house counsel, similar to many corporate law departments. Our job is to use the law to protect secrets and, as such, much of our practice is aimed at preventing the disclosure of information that will damage our national security. We also participate in the defense of the CIA against attempts to obtain sensitive information and provide counseling on the legality of activities which other components of the CIA wish to undertake. In this role, CIA attorneys operate reasonably independently and are assigned substantive responsibilities as soon as they demonstrate their capability to handle those responsibilities. The nature of the assignments tends to be such that attorneys work individually on specific matters and are responsible for all of these matters. In addition to performing legal research, writing opinions, and drafting and reviewing proposed regulations and legislation, attorneys serve as advisers to CIA boards and panels, and represent the CIA in negotiations with federal, state and private organizations. Although the Central Intelligence Agency has no independent litigating authority, CIA lawyers participate extensively with Department of Justice Attorneys in litigation involving the CIA. The Office of General Counsel has a broad and diverse practice which is divided into six substantive areas of responsibility; Intelligence Community Affairs, Intelligence Law, Litigation and Legislation, Operations Support, Administrative Law, and Logistics and Procurement Law. Assignments handled by these divisions frequently involve substantive areas covering several legal subjects; thus, close coordination among several of the Office's attorneys is required. Attorneys are assigned to one of the six divisions, and from time to time are reassigned to other 18 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 divisions depending on the Office's needs and an attorney's interests. Each division handles a wide range of issues, some of which might very likely be encountered in a legal practice outside the government. The Office of General Counsel has no overseas positions, but has occasional requirements for travel both inside and outside the United States. These trips typically are for a few days, but occasionally span several weeks. GENERIC LISTING OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES ATTORNEY ADVISOR: A J.D. is required. Attorneys will work in the Washington, , D.C. area in a comfortable office environment. Incumbent will provide legal advice to CIA employees concerning the conduct of Agency activities. Grade range: GS-11 to GS-15. SUMMER CLERKSHIP/PART-TIME CLERKSHIP: Two years of law school must be completed. Clerks will receive assignments from several Office divisions providing a diverse summer experience. Grade: GS-09. PARALEGALS: Paralegals must have received certification in a recognized paralegal program. Incumbent will provide all legal assistance to the attorneys in the Office. Grade range: GS-07 to GS-13. LEGAL SECRETARIES: Secretaries must have passed the Agency shorthand (80 wpm) and typing (40 wpm) requirements, and have worked for an attorney for one year. Grade range: GS-05 to GS-07. 19 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 INSPECTOR GENERAL'S AUDIT STAFF Responsible for both audits of financial compliance and electronic data processing systems to assure that resources are used effectively to achieve Agency objectives. Audit activity spans every component and program within the Agency. As such, it provides auditors with a broad understanding of the intelligence professional and a solid foundation for a successful career. Work assignments satisfy experience criteria for CPA certification in some states, and for CIA, and CISA certification in all states. Financial assistance is available for educational purposes. The Audit Staff offers challenging and interesting audit assignments with some worldwide travel (not more than 30% of each year) and excellent opportunities for advancement both within the Staff and within other Agency career tracks. The Audit Staff is based in the Washington, D.C. area. It reports directly to the Agency's Inspector General who in turn reports to the Director, Central Intelligence. GENERIC LISTING OF CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AUDITORS: A Bachelors Degree in accounting, computer science, information science, or equivalent is required.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND CHALLENGE The CIA budget and its financial activities are classified, disclosure of which would pose a threat to the scope, sources and methods of intelligence collection, and the security of our nation. In order to provide proper checks and balances, these activities are closely monitored by no less than four congressional committees and the Office of Management and Budget. The trials and uncertainties engendered by such watchful care are substantially offset by career possibilities available in the Office of Finance that provide both stimulating challenge and personal reward. The very nature of our organization presents many unique opportunities to financial professionals. As a staff member, one could be responsible for developing and maintaining sophisticated accounting systems, financial operations of a given region, financial regulations and procedures, and implementing a variety of financial agreements with other agencies.

The Office of Finance hires a person for a career? not just a job. The rotation policies of the Office of Finance allow, and encourage, a professional to grow in diversity and expertise as well as serve in many different components. Training, as an essential ingredient to professional development, is heavily emphasized to prepare the individual for a succession of challenging assignments. If one has an aptitude for computers, we will develop it?both on large systems and through the application of personal computers. On-the-job training is complemented by courses within the Agency, university courses, and courses from public and private institutions. The individuals we need are those who can accept challenges and change direction quickly; who are interested in travel and can be consultants when visiting overseas operations; who can live overseas and accept responsibility for all financial operations; who can work independently, yet contribute to the team effort of the Agency; who relate well to other professionals; and who have the ability to communicate both orally and in writing. Rarely, in either industry or academia, do financial professionals have such a variety of complex, important, and career enhancing responsibilities.

We select these individuals carefully to provide broad administrative support to the employees of the CIA in their efforts to collect, evaluate, and report on foreign intelligence. Administrative Officers are key members of the management team and serve as principal managers of the human and material resources of each component. They are relied upon to develop new perspectives and directions in management practices, often in response to complex, sensitive situations. While supporting Agency personnel, assets, programs, and operations they perform or manage such diverse functions as budget, accounting, personnel, security, logistics, training, and information management. The paramount qualifications required are extensive experience or knowledge of management principles, practices, methods, techniques, and skills in integrating management practices with the goals and objectives of the Agency. Flexibility toward assignments and a strong interest in overseas service are important ingredients for success. Administrative Officers are provided extensive training and a variety of work experiences. During the first year they attend the Career Training Program to provide a broad understanding of intelligence work. They also receive specialized training in the various DA disciplines. This training is interspersed with several brief interim assignments designed to acquaint them, through experience, with the challenging work performed in the other career disciplines. A period of full- or part-time language training directed to a specific assignment or other specialized training may follow. After training is completed, the Administrative Officer is normally assigned overseas for six to nine years. There then follows a mixture of Headquarters and Field assignments with emphasis being placed on providing maximum exposure and experience in support of a variety of Agency functions. The ultimate goal is senior management positions where ability, training, and experience enable the Administrative Officer to play an important role in the future of the Agency and our country. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS M.B.A. or B.A. degree from a four-year college, and related work experience are normally required. Areas of primary interest include Business, Public Admin- istration, Personnel Administration, Operations Research, and other management related fields. Candidates should have good analytic and problem solving skills, the ability to communicate easily both orally and in writing, excellent interpersonal skills, and potential supervisory talent. Interest in extended periods of overseas living experience is desired. Entrance grade range is GS-08 through GS-1 I with progression available to senior levels. 43 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 SECTION IV DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE The Directorate of Intelligence (DI) is the CIA's analytical arm. What we do is provide policymakers with facts and analysis about a wide variety of subjects that are or will be of concern to them. We work on literally all significant issues worldwide. It is here, in short, where all of the information available to the U.S. Government on foreign affairs comes together, gets analyzed, and is written up into reports for policymakers. What data do we use? Some are collected by the most sophisticated technical and clandestine means available. Some come from other departments in government?State, Defense, Commerce, and Treasury, among others?and from political officers and military attaches. And some come from open literature?the national and foreign press, television and radio broadcasts, books, journals, magazines, and so on. With a large and talented group of people, a massive amount of information, and a concentration on supporting the intelligence needs of senior policy officials, we are in a position to respond quickly to urgent needs or to undertake major research on complex topics of long-term concern. Who do we work for? Our directorate works first and foremost for the President, other members of the National Security Council, and the NSC staff. Meeting the intelligence requirements of these policymakers is a challenging process and a dynamic one because needs change as the situation develops. We keep in touch at all levels of the policy community to make sure that we are devoting attention to the issues and topics that matter most to these consumers. We also depend on policymakers to give us their own unique insights. All of this contact helps us "fine tune" the system to get information we know policymakers need. And it helps us get feedback?critical as well as favorable?on what we produce. Perhaps here is the place to say that being in touch with policymakers and supporting their needs does not equal telling them what they want to hear. As one of our Office Directors said in a recent paper: In judging the quality of analysis, a number of factors have to be considered. Accuracy (on both facts and judgments) is one key ingredient. Timeliness is another?if the analysis does not arrive before the critical U.S. decisions are made, it serves no useful purpose. Effective delivery?a clear message forced to the attention of the people who need it?is another essential. Finally, objectivity is the characteristic that separates intelligence analysis from advocacy or from catering to the policy preferences of our customers . . . We try to take a multidisciplinary approach in most of the analysis we do. We deliberately put people with different analytical specialities together?most of the political analysts, the economists, and the military analysts on a given country sit together, for example. When the problems are major and complex, we can bring together people representing dozens of different analytical specialities and subspecialties in our effort to make sure we have looked at all sides of the issue. DI analysts are in touch also with analysts in other agencies in a variety of ways. The articles we write for CIA's Daily are?and have to be?"coordinated" with working-level analysts in other agencies of the Executive Branch that have intelligence functions. We call this group of agencies and departments the Intelligence Community. And the articles we write for the Daily reflect the views of 47 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 the Community's principal members. Briefing teams are often made up of analysts from several agencies, and on occasion two or more agencies may collaborate on specific papers. The DI also works with Community members in a more formal way through the National Intelligence Council (NIC), which is part of the staff of the Director of Central Intelligence. The Council is made up of members of the Intelligence Community, other agencies of government, and the private sector. It includes National Intelligence Officers (NIOs) who are responsible for guiding the Community's production on certain regions or topics, and a small staff of analysts. Among their functions, NIOs supervise the drafting of National Intelligence Estimates, which are in-depth looks at key issues. DI officers are often principal drafters of these papers. The NIOs are also responsible for alerting senior officials to new developments that may pose a particular threat to U.S. interests. What does our product look like? It takes many forms. Sometimes we write a brief memorandum within hours to meet a "short fuse" request on a specific topic a senior policymaker needs to know about. Other times we put together an assessment with maps, charts, and photos to review developments on a subject of less immediate interest to a policymaker. And on some subjects we may be engaged in lengthy research that takes months to develop?but may or may not require a lengthy report. Our daily task is a report for top policymakers that interprets foreign events and trends of current interest. Our publications include: ? a daily on foreign developments. The format for this publication has varied over the years, but the analytical, writing, and publishing pressures are the same. -- Weekly, monthly, and quarterly periodicals on a variety of regional and topical issues like the USSR, international economic and energy developments, terrorism, and political instability ? Ad hoc reports from task forces or from our 24-hour operations center. ? Biographic publications on foreign leaders and other personalities. ? Research reports on everything from soup to nuts. ? Maps, maps, and more maps?ranging from the whole world to sections of cities or mountain-top poppy fields. ? A raft of reference aids, including a "How To" for new analysts and our own Style Guide. We don't only write. We give oral briefings to a single policymaker or to a wider audience on request. We also spend tours in other government departments and have opportunities to travel abroad. Travel and Training Opportunities. Most analysts work in Washington but virtually all of them have opportunities to travel to the areas they are following. This travel can be either for area familiarization?or refamiliarization?for a number of weeks or months or it can be for an extended tour of duty overseas. We encourage analysts to demonstrate analytical flexibility and offer you ample opportunities for further training in your own discipline or in disciplines related to yours. The Work Environment and How We Are Organized. The Directorate's computer capacity is vast and we have a lot of experience with quantitative methodologies that lets us manipulate large amounts of data that other government 48 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 agencies may be unable to exploit. More and more, analysts and managers are learning they can communicate faster with a computer terminal on their desk than by memo, even though the paperless office is not yet in sight. The working environment is informal. Space at the moment is in short supply and will be until our new building is complete. We are made up of ten units called offices. Five of them are geographic. They specialize in a major country like the USSR or a major region like Europe or East Asia. Of the remaining five offices, some concentrate on issues that cross regional boundaries like weapons development, grain production, oil and energy developments, technology transfer, foreign industrial competition, and terrorism. Others concentrate on imagery analysis, biographic and reference services, our daily report on foreign developments, and other support for analysts. There are also a number of staffs that do managing, planning, evaluation of the product, and computer support. Advancement is rapid, and in the course of a career, you might move around a lot or you might stay put in one office?depending on our needs and your preference. We like to think of ourselves as less rigid than other government departments but not yet as flexible as we'd like to be. An important and exciting part of a DI analyst's job is the opportunity for contact with high-level policymakers. This contact?which ranges across the board in terms of subject matter?involves the analyst in giving a briefing or writing a memorandum in response to an ad hoc request from a policymaker. Such requests can reflect a policymaker's interest in a front-page issue or his or her interest in an issue of longer range concern. That the requests are frequent reflect not only policymaker's needs but also the DI's ability to meet those needs. In addition to contact with policymakers and with other analysts in the Intelligence Community, we encourage continuing analyst contacts with the academic world through visits, contracts, and attendance at or participation in professional meetings and conferences. We consider such contacts part of an analyst's job in keeping up with new developments in his or her field and in devising solutions to problems. We do all we can to encourage such contacts and exchanges. The DI makes use of a wide diversity of disciplines and experience. If you have a Bachelor's degree, a Master's, or a Doctorate, the chances are good that we can offer you an interesting career, and we encourage you to get in touch with us.

Credo, Central Intelligence Agency The Clandestine Service . . . the cutting edge of American intelligence. Its operational terrain is the human mind, where people?alone or together?make decisions, develop intentions, decide to go to war, make peace, change history. It is the human intellect dealing with problems?not computers, economic infrastructure, or defense budgets?that changes the destiny of nations and the world. Equipped with the best operational skills and training, and supported by the Agency's administrative and communications personnel, Clandestine Service men and women venture forth to seek information that defines intentions, fills gaps, predicts events, makes a difference. Besides its primary job of collecting intelligence, the Clandestine Service?also called the Directorate of Operations?seeks to change adversaries into friends or neutrals through covert operations by political, psychological, or paramilitary means. It works with friendly intelligence services toward mutual goals. It also defends itself and the government against hostile penetration and attack. This, then, is the reach of the Clandestine Service. Whatever its elements?espionage, covert action, counterintelligence, liaison? its operational techniques are standard, with variations according to individual talents and local conditions. Clandestine Service operations officers?also called case officers?develop, recruit, and manage agents. They work with contacts on a confidential basis to gather intelligence, change minds, defend the service, guard the nation. The main factor is secrecy, clandestinity. All of it taken together is as wonderfully simple and as amazingly complex as the closest friendship. It is an ancient art that is expanded and modernized each day. It is highly individual, ever- changing, creative, dynamic, exciting way of life. "I like independence, variety. . . I consider myself patriotic, action oriented. . . I am attracted by the mystique of the work, and I see it as a unique situation, one that can be found nowhere else in our society." Career Trainee, female, paramilitary trained, awaiting first assignment The Clandestine Service is relatively small. Its effectiveness does not come from numbers but from the quality of its people. Its officers are dedicated to the service of their nation and the American public. They are well-educated, both academically and in the ways of the world. Courage?physical, intellectual, moral?is a common trait. They set high standards for themselves and others. 55 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 The men and women of the Clandestine Service fulfill their lives through this service to their country. As a group, they are adventurous, well-trained, highly skilled in operational tradecraft and interpersonal relations, adept at oral and written communications. They have a rare opportunity to do immensely worthwhile work with their talents, with everything that is uniquely their own. Clandestine Service people must be adaptable and well-disciplined. They exchange an anonymity in the ordinary world for recognition from their peers within the service. They are an elite, but are known only to an elite of a very special world. "Employees and their families confront the more diffuse crises associated with civil disorder, terrorism,and other local circumstances which are not even remotely comparable to life in the typical American suburban setting. . ." CIA Director of Personnel's testimony before Congress, May 2, 1985 ". . . All they guarantee is you won't die of boredom." Operations Officer, GS-12, male, now on third field assignment There is risk, of course, to officers in the Clandestine Service. Statistically, the risks are slightly higher than for police or firemen in a large city. The Agency does not make national policy?but implements it, and the Clandestine Service is the Agency's action arm. It does not seek danger?but accepts the necessary risks of its mission. "We are going after the real stuff, things that count. . . We are in a position to do something about things. . . It is a place for action?oriented people who want a chance to implement their ideas, put their creativity to full use." Operations Officer, GS-14, male, four tours overseas "We produce timely and high quality intelligence for the President and Government of the United States. . . We measure our success by our contribution to the protection and enhancement of American values, security and national interest." Credo, Central Intelligence Agency Operations officers, intelligence assistants, reports officers, secretaries, and support personnel work as a team under cover in the Clandestine Service "Station" overseas. It is no nine-to-five day or five-day week. 56 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 The call may come in the middle of the night or a rainy Sunday morning, or it interrupts a dinner party or a daughter's graduation. If it is urgent, the case officer exits his social and cover life to make a meeting with an agent in a corner of a deserted park, at a table in a bistro, in a safehouse. If the agent or operation is very sensitive, messages are exchanged through a "dead drop," a place of concealment. That is only the beginning. Other members of the Station team will be involved in processing and transmitting the report to Intelligence Directorate analysts at Headquarters. If the report is urgent or critical, the field processing may take only minutes. The Clandestine Service is dynamic forceful, and imaginative. It gets the job done. It recruits agents, gathers their data, processes it?all within the disciplined framework of clandestine tradecraft. "In this career you can count on moments of absolute excitement, you will have experiences you will never know in the corporate board room . . ." Operations Officer, GS-13, male, four overseas tours "They give you all you can handle, and more than you think you ever could. But you do it, you respond to the challenge. . . You get greater responsibility earlier than anywhere else I know. . . It's up to you. . . It's what you make of it." Operations Officer, GS-11, male, paramilitary trained, on second overseas tour "What drew me to the work was the prospect of adventure, travel, meeting people, getting information that is important . . . I wanted to serve my country. . . Intelligence is one of our most important defenses." Operations Officer, GS-11, female, paramilitary/airborne trained, now on third overseas tour Operations personnel are single, married, have families - sometimes large ones. A spouse fully supportive of an officer's work and committed to it is a valuable asset. Children must be as adaptable as parents to new, sometimes exotic environments. A career in the Clandestine Service is not always easy, but there are advantages; opportunities to see new places, live in foreign cultures, learn languages, be in the forefront of international affairs. There are also substantial financial rewards for overseas service. Before Clandestine Service personnel are sent abroad, they are trained intensively in agent-handling skills, operational tradecraft, paramilitary techniques, a foreign language if required. They serve brief assignments in Headquarters in hands- on support of field operations. They are briefed and trained on cover duties they will perform abroad. 57 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Clandestine Service careers are a blend of intelligence work and cover jobs. The responsibilities will be different, perhaps radically different, in the two career compartments. Good and lasting friends will be made in both areas, and when the time comes, Clandestine Service people often retire under cover status. "Qualified applicants have: ? First and foremost, the drive to achieve. They are oriented toward action and results. ? Force of personality and a gift for dealing effectively with people. ? Bachelor's degree, at least, with a consistently high level of academic performance. ? Exceptional skill in both written and oral communication. ? Impeccable standards of personal and professional ethics. ? U.S. citizenship. Maximum age 35 upon entry on duty."

Develop skills and professional discipline to produce results in conditions of stress. . . "The Reward: The satisfaction of meeting and mastering exceptional challenges . . . The prospect of adventure while doing a job that calls on the deepest resources of intelligence, professional skills, and personal commitment." CIA newspaper advertisement The Clandestine Service demands the best. Many applicants fail to qualify. They undergo a rigorous battery of tests?intelligence, psychological, medical?and there is a detailed security investigation into past activities and present attitudes. The Career Training Program, from which the Clandestine Services selects its officers, is thirty-five years old. It began in January 1951, and a remarkable 58.6% of its graduates are still on the Agency's payroll. Few corporations can match that record. Evidently, our selection process is on the mark, and our people must find a full measure of satisfaction in their careers. Let's explore whether the Clandestine Service is for you. Our recruiters will focus on your goals as you see them, determine who you are, and how well you know yourself. It will be worth the investment of your time, and may lead to a world-class career in the Clandestine Service. When you contact the Agency do not mention your interest in the Clandestine Service. Tell this only to the recruiter in your first interview. Guard the secret of your intention to try for the Clandestine Service even from your closest friends. There are two reasons for this. It keeps confidential your intent to become an operations officer, and thus contribute to your overall cover security. And it is your first training assignment in the Clandestine Service.

These positions, and most positions below the GS-14 level, do not require managerial responsibilities. Contacts are maintained with other elements of the Agency as well as other Intelligence Community organizations and the Department of Defense. CHALLENGE A career with OD&E offers the opportunity for management and technical experience in the development of "state of the art" collection systems. Employees manage complex technical contracts, oversee system concept designs, develop specifications, evaluate design performance, monitor system operations, provide system analysis and technical direction for advanced intelligence collection technical studies, serve as contracting officers' technical representatives for collection system analysis, and develop study plans, briefings and reports relating to a number of subjects within the technical collection field. A few OD&E employees are under cover, and must therefore live with this constraint in their private lives; however, most OD&E employees are overt. The most difficult part about being either covert or overt in OD&E is the fact that we cannot acknowledge publicly our wide range of "front-page" news accomplishments. The excitement and challenge offered to an individual where he or she is not working on just a small part of a big system cannot be underestimated. The opportunity to participate in the full range of system development activities from the identification of evolving intelligence needs and the formulation of collection system requirements through the acquisition, acceptance, deployment and operation of these systems is a unique opportunity that is not to be found in the private sector. The calibre of individual that OD&E seeks will want such an opportunity even if the restrictions imposed by security and compartmentation prevent us from revealing more substantive detail prior to actual employment.

This dual coverage is part of the transitional retirement legislation enacted by Congress pending its development of a new retirement program to supplement Social Security. Under transitional legislation, newly hired federal employees contribute 5.7 percent of their salary to Social Security, 1.3 percent to Medicare, and a reduced rate of 1.3 to the Civil Service Retirement System for a combined total of 8.3 percent of gross annual salary. Social Security and Medicare withholdings are applied up to a specific amount of your annual salary. The new supplemental program is expected to be established by Congress before 1 January 1986 and will cover all new federal employees. It is intended that the supplemental retirement program, when combined with the benefits of the existing Social Security plan, will provide you with an adequate overall level of retirement income. Employees with five years of service in foreign countries or other qualifying service are eligible under certain circumstances for early retirement under the CIA Retirement and Disability System. VOLUNTARY INVESTMENT PLAN This IRS-approved plan is designed to offer you an opportunity to build a "nest egg" to supplement your Social Security and retirement annuity. Participants pool their contributions to invest regularly in a tax-sheltered investment program; there are no employer contributions. 85 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/30: CIA-RDP90-00530R001002390003-9 HIRING INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR EMPLOYMENT THE BASIC PACKAGE FOR ALL APPLICATIONS MUST INCLUDE 1.

If you do not have a prepared resume, write to the field office and ask to have one of our short application forms sent to you. You may also go to your college placement office and complete one of their prepared forms and send a copy of this to our field office. When your resume is received in our field office it will be reviewed by a professional personnel recruitment officer and assessed against our current recruitment needs. If he/she finds a match you will be contacted to arrange an interview time and place to discuss your qualifications and specific career opportunities. If there is a mutual agreement that you should officially apply to the Agency you will be given a full set of application forms to complete. If the position you apply for requires you to take our Professional Applicant Test Battery you will be given an admission ticket to a specific examination site closest to your place of residence.

You may then expect a screening telephone call covering matters of security interest pertaining to your background. When these have been clarified your file will be duplicated and a copy will be sent to all offices that might have an interest in a person with your training, talents, and experience. If an office responds with a request that your application be considered further you will be sent a letter advising you of this interest. The background investigation will then be initiated. In the course of the processing you will be invited to Washington, D.C., at our .expense, for personal interviews with each of the components that have requested them.
