IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE TO RECOGNIZE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUR
SENIOR MANAGERS TODAY, AND I AM ESPECIALLY PLEASED THAT SO MANY
FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND THIS
PROMOTION CEREMONY.
IT IS OF COURSE A FAMILY EFFORT THAT IS BEING RECOGNIZED
TODAY, FOR INDIVIDUALS ALONE DO NOT ASSUME THE RISKS, COSTS,
AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF INTELLIGENCE WORK. THE ACHIEVEMENTS WE
HONOR ARE TESTIMONY TO THE SUPPORT, PATIENCE, AND ENCOURAGEMENT
FREELY GIVEN BY OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SO WE THANK YOU AS
WELL.
I'VE BEEN READING ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI'S BOOK, THE GRAND
FAILURE: THE BIRTH AND DEATH OF COMMUNISM IN THE 20TH CENTURY.
WHEN ZBIG SENT ME A COPY, HE WROTE: "BILL, THIS WILL BE CAUSE
FOR YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT."
WELL, I'M NOT SURE OF THAT. WITH ALL THAT'S GOING ON TODAY
IN THE COMMUNIST WORLD -- AND ELSEWHERE -- THERE'S PLENTY OF

WORK AHEAD FOR THIS AGENCY AND FOR THE ENTIRE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY. AND I KNOW THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN TRACKING
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SOVIET UNION, POLAND, CHINA, PANAMA, AND
ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES WE COVER WOULD AGREE THAT WHAT IS
EXPECTED OF US HAS SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED.
JUST RECENTLY I VISITED
AND CAME AWAY MOST IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY OF WORK WE ARE
DOING THERE. AND IN THE MORE THAN TWO YEARS I HAVE BEEN THE
DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE, I HAVE GAINED AN EVEN GREATER
APPRECIATION FOR THE TALENT, ENTHUSIASM, AND DEDICATION THAT
CAN BE FOUND IN OUR AGENCY. NO MATTER WHAT SOPHISTICATED
COLLECTION SYSTEMS WE DEVELOP, AND NO MATTER WHAT MACHINES WE
ACQUIRE, THE AGENCY'S SUCCESS OR FAILURE RESTS FUNDAMENTALLY ON
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PEOPLE WHO FULFILL ITS MISSION.
MUCH OF THE EXCELLENT WORK WE HAVE DONE DURING THE FIRST
SIX MONTHS OF THIS YEAR IS A RESULT OF INITIATIVES BY OUR

OFFICERS -- INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO CURRENT ISSUES AND
PROBLEMS. THESE INITIATIVES WILL BECOME EVEN MORE IMPORTANT AS
INTELLIGENCE REQUIREMENTS INCREASE, RESOURCES ARE STRAINED, AND
THE WORLD CONTINUES TO CHANGE.
I AM LOOKING TO YOU -- AS SENIOR MANAGERS -- TO PROVIDE THE
KIND OF LEADERSHIP THAT WILL CONTINUE TO FOSTER CREATIVITY AND
INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO OUR VITAL WORK. I'D LIKE TO SPEND
SOME TIME THIS AFTERNOON DISCUSSING SOME OF THE INITIATIVES
UNDERTAKEN THIS YEAR -- INITIATIVES THAT HAVE IMPROVED OUR
SUPPORT TO POLICYMAKERS, IMPROVED OUR ABILITY TO DO OUR JOB,
AND EXPANDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PEOPLE.
THE INITIATIVES WE HAVE TAKEN TO IMPROVE OUR SUPPORT TO
POLICYMAKERS HAVE RANGED FROM BRIEFING THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
TO CREATING A NEW CENTER TO SUPPORT OUR GOVERNMENT'S
COUNTERNARCOTICS EFFORT.

WHEN I SPOKE AT THE S.I.S. PROMOTION CEREMONY A YEAR AGO, I
MENTIONED THAT ONE OF OUR MAJOR TASKS WOULD BE SERVING THE
INTELLIGENCE NEEDS OF THE NEW ADMINISTRATION TAKING OFFICE IN
JANUARY. THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY -- AND THE ENTIRE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY -- HAS WORKED HARD TO ACQUAINT THE BUSH
ADMINISTRATION WITH THE KEY ISSUES IT IS NOW ADDRESSING. AND
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO ENSURE THAT SENIOR POLICYMAKERS CONTINUE
TO RECEIVE TIMELY, POLICY-RELEVANT, AND OBJECTIVE INTELLIGENCE.
BEFORE THIS YEAR, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
RECEIVED OUR PREMIER CURRENT INTELLIGENCE PRODUCT, THE
PRESIDENT'S DAILY BRIEF, VIA HIS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.
PRESIDENT BUSH DECIDED THAT HE WISHED TO RECEIVE THIS PRODUCT
DIRECTLY FROM A CIA OFFICER. ACCORDINGLY, BEGINNING ON 21
JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, HIS DAILY BRIEF HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO HIM
PERSONALLY BY A SENIOR MEMBER OF OUR P.D.B. STAFF IN THE OVAL
OFFICE EACH MORNING. I SIT IN FAIRLY REGULARLY ON THESE

BRIEFING SESSIONS -- WHICH USUALLY INCLUDE
-- AND I CAN ATTEST TO THE
HIGH INTEREST AND VALUE THE PRESIDENT PLACES ON THIS PERSONAL
DELIVERY OF HIS MAIN DAILY INTELLIGENCE BRIEF. THIS NEW
BRIEFING RELATIONSHIP, I BELIEVE, HAS MADE US EVEN MORE
EFFECTIVE.
DURING THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE HAVE PROVIDED INTELLIGENCE
SUPPORT TO POLICYMAKERS ON SOME MAJOR ISSUES --

WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING VITAL SUPPORT IN ASSESSING THE
UNPRECEDENTED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SOVIET UNION. OUR SUPPORT TO
POLICYMAKERS HAS NEVER BEEN MORE RELEVANT AND HAS NEVER BEEN
BETTER. IN RECENT MONTHS, OUR OFFICE OF SOVIET ANALYSIS
ASSESSED THE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY IMPLICATIONS OF GORBACHEV'S
POLICY INITIATIVES. WE COMPLETED MAJOR STUDIES OF HIS DOMESTIC
REFORM PROGRAM WITH PAPERS ON THE NEW STATE STRUCTURE, THE
REORGANIZATION OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY, THE DRIVE TO RESTRUCTURE
THE K.G.B., AND THE GREATER OPENNESS OF SOVIET SOCIETY.

GORBACHEV'S INITIATIVES
ANOTHER OBJECTIVE -- SUPPORTING OUR NATION'S ANTI-DRUG
EFFORTS -- WAS ADVANCED BY THE CREATION OF THE DCI
COUNTERNARCOTICS CENTER IN APRIL. IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS, THE
IDEA OF SUCH A CENTER WAS TRANSFORMED FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY.

NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS CAN TAKE PRIDE IN
THEIR ROLE IN CREATING THE COUNTERNARCOTICS CENTER. THE
CENTER'S DIRECTOR, WHO IS FROM THE D.O. , AND THE DEPUTY
DIRECTOR, WHO IS FROM THE D. I . , HAVE QUICKLY SHAPED THE NEW
CENTER, BRINGING SPECIALISTS TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE NARCOTICS
PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO ALSO DESERVE CREDIT FOR
SETTING UP THIS CENTER. THE OFFICE OF LOGISTICS DESERVES
SPECIAL MENTION FOR FINDING SPACE, RENOVATING IT, AND MOVING
CENTER PERSONNEL INTO THAT SPACE. IN ADDITION, THE OFFICE OF
INFORMATION RESOURCES AND THE OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
DID AN EXTRAORDINARY JOB IN EQUIPPING THE AREA FOR OUR HIGH
TECH NEEDS.
ANOTHER INITIATIVE WE'VE UNDERTAKEN TO SUPPORT POLICYMAKERS

THE INITIATIVES WE HAVE TAKEN TO IMPROVE OUR SUPPORT TO
POLICYMAKERS HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. BUT JUST AS SUCCESSFUL
ARE THE INITIATIVES WE HAVE TAKEN TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO DO
OUR JOB.
IN THE AREA OF INFORMATION HANDLING, THE OFFICE OF
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HELPED ACHIEVE AN AGENCY CONSENSUS ON AN
INFORMATION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN FOR THE YEAR 1993. THIS MASTER
PLAN PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR HOW OUR COMPUTERS CAN BEST WORK
TOGETHER TO COPE WITH ALL THE INFORMATION WE ARE COLLECTING. I
MIGHT ADD THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A CONSENSUS HAS BEEN
REACHED ON A DIRECTION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE
AGENCY. AND IT IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP IF WE ARE TO COLLECT AND
PROCESS THE KIND OF INTELLIGENCE WE WILL NEED IN THE NEXT
DECADE.

DURING THE LAST YEAR, WE HAVE INCREASED OPPORTUNITIES FOR
ROTATIONAL ASSIGNMENTS. THE DIRECTORATE OF SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS INCREASED THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS
AVAILABLE IN ITS CAREER DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNMENT PROGRAM FROM
LAST YEAR TO
THIS YEAR. CAREER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH
ROTATIONS OR REASSIGNMENTS DOES MUCH TO ELIMINATE
PAROCHIALISM. IT ALSO HELPS MANAGERS IDENTIFY, SELECT, AND
PROMOTE THE MOST TALENTED EMPLOYEES.

EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AND MORALE IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME,
AS I KNOW IT IS TO YOU. AN OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE
IN THIS AREA HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE FOREIGN BROADCAST
INFORMATION SERVICE. IN F.B.I.S. PRODUCTION GROUP, MANAGERS
HAVE LAUNCHED A TWO-YEAR PILOT PROGRAM AIMED AT ENHANCING
EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AND MORALE. THIS PILOT PROGRAM GIVES
MANAGERS MORE FLEXIBILITY AND REWARDS INITIATIVE. IT ALSO
CONTAINS A NEW PERSONNEL STRUCTURE DESIGNED TO HELP KEEP
UNIQUELY SKILLED OFFICERS.
ANOTHER INITIATIVE -- WHICH IS GOOD FOR BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL
AND THE AGENCY -- IS THE OFFICE OF TRAINING AND EDUCATION'S
EXITO PROJECT. EXITO IS AN INTERACTIVE VIDEO LANGUAGE TRAINING
COURSE IN
DEVELOPED ALMOST ENTIRELY BY 0.T.E.'S
LANGUAGE TRAINING DIVISION. THUS FAR, TEST DATA ON THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS PROJECT SHOWS THAT EXITO ACCOMPLISHES IN
TWO WEEKS WHAT TYPICALLY TAKES MUCH LONGER TO MASTER IN THE

VIDEO LANGUAGE COURSES ARE BEING PLANNED, AND OUR PEOPLE WILL
BENEFIT.
WE WILL ALL BENEFIT, AS WELL, BY BEING PART OF AN AGENCY
THAT RECOGNIZES TALENT AND PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL MEMBERS
OF OUR SOCIETY. TO THAT END, THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL HAS
ESTABLISHED A SPECIAL RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES BRANCH TO PLAN,
COORDINATE, AND FACILITATE THE RECRUITMENT, SELECTION, AND
HIRING OF COMPETITIVE MINORITIES BY THE AGENCY. THE
DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE'S MULTICULTURAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
HAS ALSO BEEN VERY ACTIVE DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THIS
YEAR.
RECRUITMENT TEAMS RECEIVED SPECIALIZED
TRAINING AND THEN FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH VISITS TO HISTORICALLY
BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND TO SCHOOLS WITH SIGNIFICANT
STAT MINORITY POPULATIONS. ONE RESULT OF THIS EFFORT IS THE
NEW
MINORITY UNDERGRADUATES WORKING IN THE INTELLIGENCE DIRECTORATE
THIS SUMMER, A NEARLY FOURFOLD INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR'S NUMBER.

AND FOR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NEARING THE END OF THEIR CAREERS,
THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL HAS INITIATED PRERETIREMENT CAREER
TRANSITION SEMINARS, OPENED A CAREER TRANSITION CENTER, AND
INCREASED PRIVATE SECTOR CONTACTS FOR POSTRETIREMENT EMPLOYMENT.
I'VE MENTIONED ONLY SOME OF THE INITIATIVES WE HAVE TAKEN
THIS YEAR TO IMPROVE OUR SUPPORT TO POLICYMAKERS, IMPROVE OUR
OWN ABILITY TO DO THE JOB, AND IMPROVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR
PEOPLE. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS, AND I THINK WE CAN BE PROUD OF
ALL OF THEM.
BUT AS I MENTIONED AT THE OUTSET, THE CHALLENGES BROUGHT ON
BY A CHANGING WORLD AND LIMITED RESOURCES WILL DEMAND MORE
INNOVATION AND MORE CREATIVITY AS WE APPROACH THE 1990S. THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'VE CONSIDERED ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS
OF PLANNING, AND THEY REPRESENT OUR COLLECTIVE INGENUITY AND
OUR SHARED DEDICATION TO THE MISSION OF INTELLIGENCE. THERE IS
MUCH AHEAD OF US, AND I DEPEND ON YOUR LEADERSHIP AND EXPERTISE

AS WE ADDRESS THE CRITICAL ISSUES AND PROBLEMS FACING THIS
COUNTRY.
IN SUSSEX, ENGLAND, THERE IS AN INSCRIPTION THAT WAS CARVED
ON A CHURCH IN 1730. IT READS, "A VISION WITHOUT A TASK IS BUT
A DREAM, A TASK WITHOUT A VISION IS DRUDGERY, BUT A VISION WITH
A TASK IS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD."
WHAT I ASK OF YOU NOW, AS YOU ASSUME POSITIONS OF GREATER
LEADERSHIP, IS TO HELP US FIT THE TASK TO A VISION, TO USE OUR
KNOWLEDGE TO SERVE THE FUTURE.
I HAVE SEEN THE EFFECT OUR INGENUITY, OUR VISION, AND OUR
RESOURCEFULNESS HAVE HAD ON THE NATION'S POLICY. AND I KNOW OF
THE CONTRIBUTIONS WE HAVE MADE TO THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM AROUND
THE WORLD.
ALL OF YOU BEING PROMOTED TODAY HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE
QUALITIES THAT HAVE MADE THIS THE FINEST INTELLIGENCE AGENCY IN
THE WORLD. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE WELL SERVED BY HAVING YOU
IN THE SENIOR INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. AND I CONGRATULATE YOU ALL.

STAT FROM:
Chief, Action Group/ES/OSWR
SUBJECT: Input for DCI's Speech at 14 July
SIS Promotion Ceremony
8 June 1989
1. As requested, I am providing some brief examples of recent OSWR
accomplishments and leadership initiatives that I hope will be suitable
for use by the DCI in his speech at the SIS promotion ceremony on 14
July. Because the ceremony will be conducted at the unclassified level,
the wording of these examples is necessarily somewhat general. (U)
2. Managers and analysts in .our Technology Transfer Assessment
Center have shown commendable initiative in developing innovative ways
to attack a problem that has long troubled US policymakers: How to
prevent the transfer of militarily significant Western technology to
Soviet Bloc countries while at the same time avoiding unnecessarily
strict export controls on other, less sensitive technology. Using the
latest computer tools, our analysts have developed a very promising new
methodology to help US policymakers decide which technologies must be
protected and which may be transferred without harming US interests.
The applications of the new methodology are diverse:
-- The US export control community can develop a more
rational export control strategy that will have enhanced
credibility both at home and abroad.
-- Export control enforcement officials can focus their limited
resources toward the goal of building "higher fences" around
technologies and equipment of greatest value to the Soviets.
The new methodology recently was demonstrated to policymakers for the
first time, and their initial reactions have been positive. (U)
3. As was highlighted earlier this year by the DCI's testimony in
open session before the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and its
subcommittee, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation, the
Intelligence Community has been working busily to apprise US
policymakers of rapidly changing developments in the worldwide
proliferation of chemical and biological weapons. Nowhere is the rapid
pace of these developments more evident than in the Agency's Office of
Scientific and Weapons Research, where our analysts and managers
literally have been working overtime to stay abreast of them. I am very
pleased to report that a Meritorious Unit Citation recently was awarded

to this organization for its outstanding achievements in analyzing and

work cannot be discussed in an unclassified presentation, suffice it to

top US officials with the best available information to support policy
deliberations. , (U)

1. SOVA has undertaken a substantial effort to assess
Gorbachev's guns-to-butter policy initiative. It has set up a
number of teams and-centers to track and verify implementation of
changes promised by Gorbachev and others within the leadership and
to assess the impact of such changes on current and future
military capabilities. (U)

Soviet/Warsaw Pact military forces. Working closely with Admiral
Crowe's Joint Staff, our analysts provided new and valuable
insights on important questions about the military balance. As a
result of CIA's unprecedented and independent analytical role,
Admiral Crowe soon will send to Congress a comprehensive net
assessment that offers a more accurate picture of the balance.
Moreover, the Joint Staff will seek even greater CIA involvement
in the next iteration of the Admiral's study. (U)

domestic reform program--with papers on the revitalized state
structure, the reorganization of the CPSU and redefinition of its
role, the drive to restructure the KGB, the attempt to move toward
a "state of law," the expansion of glasnost to open Soviet society
to increased contact with the outside world, and the
implementation of some economic reforms and postponement of
others. We assessed tensions this program created in Soviet
society--with papers on how Gorbachev's reforms affected different

subjects on Soviet television consisted of a stultifying parade of
cheery milkmaids, ever-upward charts of economic indicators, and
factories full of the latest technologies, manned by enthusiastic,
productive workers. After Gorbachev became General Secretary and
launched his campaign of glasnost and economic renewal, all that
changed. The daily news program Vremya actually became

fourfold increase over last year's number. In addition, the
Multicultural Management staff arranged for the visit to
Headquarters in May of Presidents of minority schools as
part of the Directorate's effort to improve its image and to
explain requirements for professional employees.
o To strengthen relations with the academic
community and to further the goal of hiring an increasing
number of minority professionals, the Intelligence
Directorate sponsored an academic colloquium that brought to
Headquarters professors of minority students from
colleges and universities around the country. These
educators were briefed on substantive issues and the
opportunities that exist for professional careers in the
Directorate. Preliminary feedback suggests that this
initiative was well received by those present, and that the
colloquium will help attract minority professionals to the

On 31 May 1989, you asked us to send up a paragraph or two
on office accomplishments during the past year. Since I suspect
that you will put together a blend of organizational achievements
and individual efforts, let me offer up two possibilities from an
OGI perspective--the first, an organizational effort, and the
second, an accomplishment by an individual manager.
Organizational Initiative
Shortly after the Bush Administration came into office, OGI
refocused its efforts to respond to the needs of the new
Administration. The office re-emphasized the importance of
economic intelligence by upgrading its economic and technology
divisions. At the same time the Of '
? ?
The totality of these changes, plus other less fundamental
shifts within the office, are indicative of how the Agency is
willing to respond to the changing needs it perceives, both in
the external environment and in the interests of the policymaker.
Individual Accomplishment
Sometimes the Agency's full potential to help policymakers
is not realized unless an individual takes the initiative to
ensure that our analytical product is seen by those who matter.
Recently the Agency was involved in providing a fair degree of
support to the FSX issue. A pair of typescripts were prepared
that laid out the key issues faced on both the political and the

technical side of the question. As the issue began to heat up,
the Branch Chief in OGI whose unit had been responsible forthe
technical related typescript did some double checking to ensure
that the key consumers had indeed seen the DI product before an
upcoming Cabinet meeting. The Branch Chief's calls to the
Department of Energy revealed that both the technical and the
political typescripts had been misplaced. At his own initiative,
the OGI Branch Chief made extra copies of both typescripts and
personally took them down to the individuals at the Department of
Energy who were putting together material for the Secretary of
Energy. This extra effort allowed the Secretary to go to the
meeting much hiore prepared and ensured that the analysis of the
Agency was available in a timely manner.

Accordingly, beginning on 21
January of this year, his daily brief has been presented to him
personally by a senior member of our PDB Staff in the Oval
Office each morning. I sit in fairly regularly on these
briefing sessions?
Hand I can attest to the high
interest and value the President places on this personal
delivery of his main daily intelligence brief. This new
briefing relationship, I believe, has brought our current
intelligence support mission to a new high level of
effectiveness, and I am delighted that the President's desire
to receive his information directly from us has not flagged
over the first six months of the new arrangement.

1. Per your request for examples of leadership
initiatives--and at the risk of being considered presumptuous--
I believe the creation of the DCI Counternarcotics Center is a
prime example of leadership initiatives taken by numerous
individuals in the Agency. Obviously in the first instance
initiative was displayed by the DCI himself in first
commissioning the Executive Director to study what should be done
in CIA on counternarcotics and then deciding to create the DCI
Counternarcotics Center. That 'initiative included the innovation
of including representatives from the NFIC agencies and f
counternarcotics law enforcement and policy communities.
2. I believe the Center's management team also deserves
credit for initiative in translating the DCI's intention to
create a Counternarcotics Center into reality in short order.
That involved the design of the Center--again involving a good
deal of innovative thinking in designing the Community
Coordination Group--and the rapid establishment of a
counternarcotics program moldInaeffectively the efforts of DO,
DI, DS&T, and DA personnel.

4. In translating the Center from a concept to a reality,
many other organizations in the Agency have displayed initiative
and creativity as well. The Office of Logistics deserves special
mention for its accomplishments in identifying space in the
Headquarters compound, renovating that space as required, and
expeditiously moving the Center personnel into that space. All
that was accomplished in a scant four months for the CIA units in
the Center; the area identified for community representatives
will be available shortly as well. In addition, officers in OIR
and OIT evidenced, in my view, extraordinary performance in
ensurin that ?reparations were made to adequately equip the
Center.

Directorate senior management established a Minority
RecTudtment-Task Force to coordinate Directorate-wide efforts
and to identify techniques and procedures that will result in
the successful achievement of minority recruitment goals. As a
result of a Task Force recommendation, the Office of Personnel
has established a Special Recruitment Strategies Branch to

and hiring of competitive minorities by the Agency. The
Chairman and members of this task force are commended for their
aggressiveness and imagination in pursuing the Five-Year
Affirmative Action Plan goals.
The Office of.. Financial Management continued their
Financial Management Improvement Project by a) implementing
performance and measurement standards for commercial audit
activities, thus permitting more frequent audits; b) adding
safeguards to limit vulnerability to waste/abuse; and c)
implementing an invoice tracking and statistical sampling
system to facilitate commercial vendor invoice audits/payments,
thus facilitating compliance with the Prompt Payment Act.
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) achieved the
following: a) improved the delivery of mainframe computer
services by automating many manual functions, thereby reducing
errors and improving availability and processing throughput; b)
improved the delivery of software development services by
including customers in planning and standards development
sessions or sending OIT development teams to customer
components to coordinate project requirements; and c) created a
prototype on-line capability for electronic forms and
implemented automated telephone and terminal request forms and
Document Courier Receipt forms which are cost- and
user-efficient and facilitate tracking and record keeping.

The Office of Training and Education (OTE) recently
completed a project that is unique in the field of language
training. The EXITO Project (EXITO is the Spanish word for
success) represents outstanding leadership in the design and
development of a first-ever interactive video language training
course to teach, in this case, The project was a
three-year investment of time and talent developed almost
entirely by OTE's Language Training Division. Thus far, test
-data-on the -effectiveness of this project shows that EXITO
accomplishes in two weeks what typically takes much longer, to
master in the classroom. The program is also much less
instructor intensive; an instructor is required only one hour
daily versus 3 to 5 hours in the traditional course. Because
of this break through in technology, other interactive video
language courses will soon follow.

Leadership Initiatives
Closely associated with the automation of the Office of
Security's field offices is the initiative taken by a junior
instructor in the Office of Training and Education (OTE) to
train field investigators in the use of the Laptop computer. A
pilot course was designed and conducted for a group of field
investigators. An instructor from OTE was asked to critique
the first running. During the first few days of the course,
the OTE instructor realized that students were not
understanding the material and were unable to use the terminal
properly. In order to get the course on track, the instructor
took the course manuals back to her hotel in the evening to to
identify how the course could be altered. By the end of the
course, the OTE instructor had all but taken over the class and
the field investigators understood how to use the laptop
,terminals.

Promotion Ceremony
1. The following information is being provided as
requested for possible inclusion in the DCI's July SIS speech.
The information includes a brief summary of the mission of the
Directorate of Science and Technology which serves to highlight
areas of significant accomplishment, and provides the proper
context to focus on the examples of exemplary leadership
initiatives discussed below. A discussion of the role of
strategic planning in the directorate and some of_the major
challenges confronting the directorate, which strategic
planning is designed to help meet, also are provided. It
should be noted that much of what is being provided has not
changed significantly over the past six months.
Major Accomplishments
2. The major accomplishments of the Directorate of Science
and Technology over the past six months reflect the overall
mission of the directorate: to provide technical support to
the intelligence collection process. This technical support is
provided in a number of ways including the research, develop-
ment, and acquisition of technical collection and processing
systems; the collection of intelligence by technical means; the
processing and analysis of technical intelligence data for use
by the Intelligence Community; and by providing research and
development services and technical support for a variety of
intelligence activities.

rotational assignments is encouraged. Employees gainexposure
and valuable experience in many different kinds of work through
rotations. Career development through rotations or reassign-
ments does much to eliminate parochialism while providing a
mechanism for identifying, selecting, and promoting the most
talented employees.
7. The DS&T, in order to induce such career-enhancing
assignments that benefit the individual employee, office,
directorate, and Agency, instituted the Career Development
Assignment Program in 1988. In 1989, the number of positions
STAT available in this program increased to including positions
from .a new office participant in the program, the Office of
Scientific and-Weapons Research (OSWR) from the Directorate of
Intelligence, increasing the opportunity for cross-directorate
assignment.
Community Affairs
8. As members of the Agency senior management team,
SIS-level officers carry the weight of increased leadership
responsibility, reflecting the Agency's confidence in their
abilities. _As part of the increased responsibilities, SIS-level
officers participate in Agency public service programs. This
type of community leadership was illustrated by the "Make-a-Wish
Foundation" visit in March 1989 by two terminally ill boys who
wanted to see where the "spy gadgets" are made. The Agency
hosted the visit with the Office of Technical Service from the
DS&T providing many of the gifts and presentations to the boys.
The visit proved to be a gratifying experience for the boys and
the Agency.
Challenges for the Future
9. Leadership initiatives ?and innovative approaches to
problems will become increasingly important as intelligence
requirements increase, resources are strained, and the world
continues to tchange. While the list of potential challenges
for the future is quite extensive, the DS&T has identified
several key issues which will challenge the leadership skills of
Agency senior management. These challenges include:

JUDGE:
As you requested, we have prepared outlines for your speeches at the SIS
Promotion Ceremony on 14 July and the Eighth Circuit Judicial Conference on
21 July.
In the SIS speech outline, you mention that you expect SIS officers -- as
senior managers -- to provide leadership that will continue to foster
creativity and innovative approaches to intelligence issues and problems. You
also address some initiatives undertaken this year -- jnitiatives that have
improved the Agency's support to policymakers, improved our ability to do our
job, and expanded opportunities for our people.
The Eighth Circuit Judicial Conference speech will explore how the rights
and freedoms of the Soviet citizen have changed under Gorbachev, the
possibility that these changes will be institutionalized throughlegal reform,
and the obstacles Gorbachev faces in instituting such reform. . It will discuss
the role of intelligence in assessing the implications for the United States.
Analysts in the DI's Office of Soviet Analysis are currently drafting
papers on human rights and legal reform in the Soviet Union. These papers
will serve as the basis for your proposed speech, and the preliminary findings
are reflected in the outline. The outline was coordinated with
Bob Blackwell, NIO/USSR, and with SOVA.
I would appreciate your comments on the attached outlines so we can begin
drafting the speeches.

PROPOSED OUTLINE
REMARKS TO EIGHTH CIRCUIT JUDICIAL CONFERENCE
I. Introduction
As part of his policies of perestroika and glasnost, Gorbachev has
allowed Soviet citizens more rights and individual freedom. Legal
reform efforts have the potential of institutionalizing these
changes, but Gorbachev faces many obstacles in implementing such
reforms. Intelligence plays a role in assessing the implications of
such changes for the US.
Changes in individual freedom under Gorbachev
A. Gorbachev's statements on importance of increasing individual
freedom and protecting those freedoms with law.
B. Freedom of expression and free movement of ideas -- The
official media is reporting on many issues that were previously
taboo. Soviet citizens also have greater access to information
from unofficial sources and from the West. Some criticism of
officials is being tolerated.
C. Freedom of association -- Thousands of informal groups, some
with political objectives, have formed in the USSR. Some of
them displayed influence during the recent elections to the
Congress of People's Deputies.
D. Freedom of assembly -- During the Gorbachev era, Soviet
citizens have demonstrated in unprecedented number's for a wide
range of human rights and nationality causes.
E. Freedom from arbitrary arrest and the right to procedural due
process -- The regime has taken steps to improve due process
guarantees, especially concerning psychiatric incarceration.
Other measures are being considered, including proposals to
restrain the authority of the KGB and to provide legal counsel
in criminal investigations.
F. Freedom of movement -- More Soviets are emigrating this year
than ever before.
f
G. Freedom of religion -- The regime has been more tolerant toward
believers, as evidenced during the 1988 celebration of the
millennium of Christianity. It has opened churches and granted
other concessions.
H. Limitations remain. Authorities still crack down on some groups
and demonstrations. Political prisoners still exist despite
Moscow's claims to the contrary.

The role of law
A. Most of the steps to inrease individual freedoms under Gorbachev
have not been institutionalized by law. Such efforts are under
way but face many obstacles.
1. The difficulty of drafting clear laws and overcoming
resistance to implementing those laws.
2. The increase in political activism and civil unrest, which
can erode support for reform.
3. The need to overcome the tradition of the use of law as a
political instrument.
B. Laws now under consideration will indicate how far the regime is
willing to go in granting individual rights.
IV. Role of intelligence
A. US interests are affected by Soviet reforms to the extent that
they affect Soviet military and economic capabilities and
foreign policy. Areas of cooperation that may be affected
include arms control, trade and joint ventures, scientific
exchanges, and discussions on human rights.
B. Need for intelligence to assist US policymakers in formulating
appropriate policies.
C. Challenges for US intelligence
1. Information explosion -- more information to collect,
process, and analyze than ever before.
2. Need to distinguish between what is real and what Moscow
wants us to hear.
D. Challenges specific to these reforms
1. Much of Soviet law is unpublished and some is even secret.
2. We must distinguish between the relaxation of policies and
the enactment of legal guarantees.
V. V. Conclusion
How far legal reform and the granting of human rights in the Soviet
Union will go is uncertain. The government and people of the US need
intelligence to assess these changes and how they will affect the
world they live in.
