like to express our thanks and appreciation to. you for
addressing the 23 August 1989 Council FORUM. Your candid
remarks were extremely well received by the audience. Without

genuinely interested in the plans and programs of the
Directorate and the well being of its employees.

RE: Your remarks to the
Directorate of Operations
23 August 1989 11:00 a.m.
HQS Auditorium
PAO 89-0244
9 August 1989
The Deputy Director for Operations and the DO Career Management Staff have
worked with us to develop themes for your address to the Directorate of
Operations.
In these remarks you comment on the importance of the work of the
Directorate and observe, "Today I want to talk about some of the concerns of
the Directorate of Operations and the issues you face as you do the work of
the Agency." Among those concerns: protecting sources and methods,
protecting against leaks, our relationship with Congress and the
Administration, maintaining our own independent Inspector General, and the
difficulties of determining priorities for our limited resources. You discuss
a range of additional issues from providing greater opportunity for those in
the Directorate to the role of leadership in the Agency.
These remarks have been fully coordinated within the DO and reflect the
DDO's view of those themes he wishes reinforced. The DO is expecting a full
house for your address. If you wish to answer questions from the audience,
you might make that offer at the end of
your remarks.
Your proposed remarks
25X1
are attached.

I WAS PLEASED TO BE INVITED TO TALK WITH YOU TODAY. DICK
WROTE ME A NOTE AND PASSED ALONG THE INVITATION, AND I'VE
LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH YOU. I'VE BEEN
A NUMBER OF PLACES OVERSEAS AND HAVE ALWAYS COME AWAY IMPRESSED
WITH THE JOB WE'RE DOING. THERE'S NO MORE EXCITING NOR MORE
IMPORTANT WORK AND IT'S CLEAR TO ME WHY WE HAVE SUCH A STRONG
SENSE OF PRIDE AND A STRONG SENSE OF MISSION.
TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF THE
DIRECTORATE OF OPERATIONS, AND THE ISSUES YOU FACE AS YOU DO
THE WORK OF THE AGENCY.
ONE OF THOSE CONCERNS IS HOW TO HELP THE ADMINISTRATION
AND, AT THE SAME TIME, CONTINUE TO PROTECT THE TOOLS OF OUR
BUSINESS. WE ARE REALLY QUITE FORTUNATE TO HAVE AS PRESIDENT A
FORMER DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE. PRESIDENT BUSH KNOWS
WHAT WE DO, HE KNOWS HOW TO/USE INTELLIGENCE, AND HE KNOWS WHAT

TO ASK FOR. THIS GIVES US JUST THE RIGHT SORT OF CHALLENGE.
BUT KNOWING THE BUSINESS OF INTELLIGENCE AND HOW BEST TO USE IT
IS NOT TRUE OF ALL THE PLAYERS, THIS IS STILL EARLY IN THE
ADMINISTRATION AND THERE ARE MANY WHO HAVE TO LEARN NOT ONLY
THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT WE DO, BUT A WHOLE CULTURE OF NOTIONS
THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR TO THEM. PROTECTING SOURCES AND METHODS
AND RESPECTING COMPARTMENTATION ARE ALL ESSENTIAL, BUT THOSE
WHO ARE NEW MAY NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THEIR -- OR OUR --
RESPONSIBILITIES. IT IS OUR JOB TO TEACH THEM, AND THAT TAKES
TIME.
WE NEED TO TEACH THEM AS WELL ABOUT COVERT ACTION. NEW
PLAYERS -- AND WITH COVERT ACTION THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW
PLAYERS -- THESE PLAYERS DON'T ALWAYS REALIZE THAT C.A.
PROGRAMS CAN'T BE CREATED OVERNIGHT. WE NEED TO MAKE THAT
POINT. WE ALSO NEED TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT LEAKS.
UNFORTUNATELY, LEAKS ARE PART OF THE POLITICAL PROCESS -- USED

FOR BARGAINING, INFLUENCE, WEAKENING ONE'S OPPONENTS. WE
CANNOT STOP LEAKS. WE CAN -- STRONGLY, CONSTANTLY, AND
CONSISTENTLY -- EDUCATE. WE MUST BETTER PROTECT THOSE THINGS
THAT TRULY COUNT. PROTECTING SOURCES AND METHODS IS COMPLEX,
AND THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION WE PROVIDE CONGRESS IS
STAGGERING. WE ALL NEED TO FOLLOW ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES
CLOSELY.
I HAVE TALKED TO A NUMBER OF GROUPS IN ALL PARTS OF THE
COUNTRY, AND PEOPLE ARE CONSISTENTLY INTERESTED - AND
CONCERNED -- ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CONGRESS AND WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION. THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT WE ARE BOUND BY AND ARE
FOLLOWING THE LAW. WHEN I TALK TO PUBLIC GROUPS, I ASSURE THEM
THAT WE TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR OBLIGATIONS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AND I'VE NOTICED THAT MANY ARE NOW MORE WILLING THAN THEY HAVE
BEEN TO EXPRESS PRIDE IN WHAT WE ARE DOING. LAST SUMMER, I
SPOKE TO 1,500 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS ON
THE WEST COAST. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT OUR APPLICATIONS WERE

COMING IN AT THE RATE OF 1,000 A MONTH THEY BROKE INTO
APPLAUSE. THAT TOLD ME SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT WHERE
THOSE BUSINESS LEADERS PLACE THIS AGENCY.
WHILE WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THE PUBLIC, WE ALSO HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO OURSELVES -- TO PRESERVE THE TOOLS OF OUR TRADE
I WILL PROTECT YOUR
DEFENSE OF INFORMATION THAT MIGHT REVEAL SOURCES AND METHODS,
BUT I DEPEND UPON YOUR CANDOR. AS AN AGENCY, WE MUST BE
TRUTHFUL WITH CONGRESS. AS AN INDIVIDUAL, IF YOU ARE CALLED
UPON TO TESTIFY, YOU MUST REPRESENT THIS AGENCY BY RESPONDING
TRUTHFULLY TO ALL QUESTIONS ASKED OF YOU, I KNOW THAT WHERE WE
DRAW THE LINE MAY VARY DEPENDING ON OUR AUDIENCE -- AN
UNCLASSIFIED BRIEFING IS NOT THE SAME AS TESTIFYING IN A CLOSED
SESSION. AND I ASSURE YOU THAT I, AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE, MAKE JUDGMENTS EVERY DAY TO PROTECT ESPECIALLY
SENSITIVE INFORMATION.

PROTECTION OF INFORMATION GOES BEYOND SOURCES AND METHODS.
YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE OPPOSED THE PROPOSAL TO APPOINT AN OUTSIDE
INSPECTOR GENERAL TO THIS AGENCY. THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES,
THE PRESIDENT, AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MUST BE INFORMED WHEN
OUR I.G. UNCOVERS WRONGDOING. THAT IS THE LAW, AND WE OBEY
IT.
BUT MUCH OF THE WORK THE INSPECTOR GENERAL DOES IS PART OF
THE INTERNAL MANAGEMENT OF THE AGENCY. THE INSPECTION OF
COMPONENTS, THE STUDY OF ISSUES, THE HANDLING OF PERSONNEL
GRIEVANCES CAN ONLY BE EFFECTIVE IF EVERYONE HERE CAN BELIEVE
IN THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND FAIRNESS. I DO NOT
BELIEVE AN OUTSIDER, APPOINTED BY CONGRESS, CAN DO THE JOB THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE. I KNOW THAT THIS ISSUE IS OF PARTICULAR
CONCERN TO A DIRECTORATE THAT OPERATES, LARGELY, UNDER COVER.
I WILL CONTINUE TO REPRESENT OUR VIEWS ON THIS MATTER AS
FORCEFULLY AS I CAN.

ANOTHER ISSUE THAT CONCERNS ALL OF US IS HOW TO GET
EVERYTHING DONE THAT WE'D LIKE TO DO. THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS
THAT WE TRY OUR BEST. WE SET PRIORITIES, OFTEN WITH
DIFFICULTY, AND THEN SET ABOUT TO FULFILL THEM. IT BECOMES
PARTICULARLY FRUSTRATING WHEN RESOURCES ARE CONSTRAINED, AS
THEY ARE NOW AND WILL BE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.
DICK STOLZ AND I, WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE, TRY TO WEIGH THE SUBSTANTIVE MERIT, LEGITIMATE
POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS, AND RESOURCE TRADE-OFFS FOR EVERY NEW
REQUIREMENT WE ACCEPT. I KNOW THAT SOME OF YOU GIVE UP
RESOURCES YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE WHEN NEW PROGRAMS AND
INITIATIVES ARE DEVELOPED. IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE LIKE THAT.
I LOOK TO THE DEPUTY DIRECTORS TO DECIDE WHERE TO ROB PETER TO
PAY PAUL, BUT I ALSO EXPECT THEM TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, IF
NECESSARY, IN WHAT IS ASKED OF A PARTICULAR WORKING GROUP --
ESPECIALLY IF THAT GROUP HAS LOST RESOURCES.

ABOVE ALL, WE NEED TO PROTECT THE RESOURCES WE HAVE -- AND
HERE I'M TALKING ABOUT OUR PEOPLE. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED
ABOUT PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY TO EVERYONE AT THE AGENCY. IT HAS
NOT ESCAPED MY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE MEN THAN
WOMEN IN THE EXECUTIVE RANKS. THERE ARE
THROUGHOUT THE AGENCY,
S.I.S. WOMEN FROM
FROM THE DIRECTORATE OF
OPERATIONS. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT AS IT SHOULD BE. WE CAN HELP
CHANGE THIS THROUGH OUR HIRING, OUR TRAINING, AND THROUGH
RECOGNIZING PERFORMANCE. I KNOW THAT THE RATE AT WHICH THE
D 0. HAS BEEN HIRING PROFESSIONAL WOMEN HAS DOUBLED IN A LITTLE
OVER TEN YEARS, AND A PARTICULARLY STRONG GROUP OF WOMEN
OFFICERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO JOIN THE SENIOR RANKS IN A FEW
YEARS. DIRECTORATE MANAGERS MUST GIVE THESE OFFICERS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCES THEY NEED TO
CONTINUE TO BE COMPETITIVE.

NOT LONG AGO, DICK STOLZ APPROVED A NEW PROGRAM THAT WILL
HELP PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITY.
WOMEN, REPRESENTING
WERE RECENTLY SELECTED AS PARTICIPANTS
IN THE PILOT RUNNING OF THE D.O. WOMEN'S EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM IS PATTERNED AFTER AN EXCELLENT 0.P.M.
PROGRAM AND WAS DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR D.O. WOMEN WHO,
COULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN 0.P.M.'S
PROGRAM. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SORT OF EFFORT WE NEED AND I
SUPPORT IT.
THE DIRECTORATE OF OPERATIONS IN GENERAL NEEDS TO MAKE
TRAINING ONE OF ITS TOP PRIORITIES. WE STILL NEED OPERATIONS,
LANGUAGE, AND TECHNICAL TRAINING, BUT WE ALSO NEED TRAINING
WHICH DEVELOPS MANAGEMENT SKILLS AND PROVIDES A BROADER,
AGENCY-WIDE PERSPECTIVE. WE NEED TO HELP ALL OF OUR PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND TO THE INTELLIGENCE NEEDS OF THE
NATIONAL SECURITY COMMUNITY WHICH WE SERVE.

THERE MUST BE A GREATER EFFORT, AS WELL, TO INCREASE THE
SKILLS WE WILL TAKE INTO THE NEXT DECADE AND THE NEXT CENTURY.
WE WILL ALL NEED A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENTIFIC AND
TECHNICAL ISSUES. NOT ONLY WILL THESE ISSUES AFFECT THE
STRATEGIC MILITARY BALANCE, BUT THEY HAVE INCREASING
APPLICATION IN THE THIRD WORLD. IN FACT, NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL
AFFECT NEARLY EVERYTHING FROM WEAPONS AND WEAPON SYSTEMS TO
ECONOMIC COMPETITION.
AS AN AGENCY, WE WILL BE COMPETING IN ANOTHER AREA --
COMPETING FOR A TALENTED WORKFORCE. ONE OF MY PARTICULAR
CONCERNS IS THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT MINORITIES ARE A
REPRESENTATIVE PART OF OUR WORKFORCE. I WAS PLEASED TO HEAR
THAT THE D.O. HAS MORE MINORITY APPLICANTS NOW IN PROCESS THAN
AT ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE DIRECTORATE. I
UNDERSTAND THAT
, AN OPERATIONS OFFICER WHO HAS
BEEN WORKING WITH THE CAREER TRAINING DIVISION, IS THE KEY

PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I WANT TO HEAR OF MORE
INITIATIVES LIKE BILL'S.
I SEE IN THIS ROOM A TREMENDOUSLY DEDICATED GROUP OF
PEOPLE. THE AGENCY NEEDS YOU, AND I NEED YOU, TO CONTINUE YOUR
WORK IN SPITE OF PROBLEMS OF SPACE, IN SPITE OF LOSING
RESOURCES. YOUR WORK IS TOO IMPORTANT TO BE LEFT UNDONE.
AND I ASK ONE MORE THING OF YOU. I ASK THAT SOME OF YOU
SEEK ASSIGNMENTS WHERE YOU WILL GAIN EXPERIENCE OF THE WHOLE
AGENCY. IT IS CLEAR THAT DICK STOLZ NEEDS SPECIALISTS IN THE
BUSINESS OF CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS. YOURS IS A FIELD WHERE
CORPORATE AND REGIONAL MEMORY IS IMPORTANT, WHERE SKILLS CANNOT
BE EASILY TAUGHT, AND WHERE OUR ADVERSARIES CAN READILY SPOT
AMATEURS. AT THE SAME TIME, IN TODAY'S WORLD, THE D.O. NEEDS
SOME OF YOU TO BRANCH OUT TO LEARN TO REPRESENT US TO CONGRESS,
TO FIGHT FOR THE RESOURCES YOU NEED TO DO YOUR JOB, AND TO WORK

WITH THE OTHER DIRECTORATES. I KNOW THAT THE D.D.O. IS
COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT THOSE WHO ARE SELECTED FOR
ASSIGNMENTS OUT OF THE OPERATIONAL MAINSTREAM ARE REWARDED FOR
THEIR EFFORTS.
MANY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOW IN SENIOR POSITIONS HAVE HAD
BROAD AGENCY EXPERIENCE, AND I RECOMMEND SUCH EXPERIENCE TO
YOU. ONE WAY PEOPLE ARE GETTING BROADER EXPERIENCE AND MEETING
KEY INTELLIGENCE REQUIREMENTS IS BY SERVING IN ONE OF OUR
CENTERS. COUNTERINTELLIGENCE, NARCOTICS, AND TERRORISM ARE
THREE ISSUES THAT ARE HIGH ON THE PRIORITIES LIST OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION -- WHICH MEANS THEY ARE HIGH ON OUR LIST AS
WELL. THE CENTERS WE HAVE ESTABLISHED TO WORK ON THESE PROBLEMS
ARE MULTIDISCIPLINARY. YOU CAN LEARN THE MISSION AND FUNCTIONS
OF ALL FOUR DIRECTORATES AND HOW RESOURCES ARE ACQUIRED AND
MANAGED, AS WELL AS LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE
AGENCY IN THE COMMUNITY. I AM PLEASED WITH THE WAY THESE

CENTERS ARE WORKING. THE CONSOLIDATED, CONCENTRATED APPROACH
TO ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES SHOULD MAKE US MORE EFFECTIVE.
RECENTLY, WE HAVE MADE A NUMBER OF CHANGES IN SENIOR
MANAGEMENT POSITIONS. THIS AGENCY'S BUSINESS HAS BECOME SO
BROAD AND COMPLEX, WITH FAR GREATER IMPACT FROM OUTSIDE THAN IN
THE PAST, THAT WE NEED A DIFFERENT PROFILE OF LEADERSHIP -- A
BROADER PROFILE.
LAST OCTOBER I MET WITH THE SENIOR MANAGERS AT AN OFF-SITE
CONFERENCE. WE TALKED ABOUT LEADERSHIP AND WHAT WE SEE AS
ESSENTIAL IN DEVELOPING FUTURE LEADERS. OUR OWN LEADERSHIP, I
BELIEVE, MUST FOCUS PARTICULARLY ON OUR PEOPLE: HOW THEY ARE
SELECTED, THEIR TRAINING, THEIR EXPOSURE TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES,
AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT WE PROVIDE TO THEM.
I KNOW THAT THE TERM "ONE AGENCY" MEANS A LOT OF THINGS TO
A LOT OF PEOPLE. WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS DEVELOPING A
QUALITY BOTH OF MANAGEMENT AND OF UNDERSTANDING THAT MAKES IT
