SUB,~CI': Preparations for the First
Quarterly Review of FY-1984
1. The following are suggested as the significant objectives
related to CRD that may be discussed oxally during the Quarterly
Review:
a. CRD and the review of the SAES
b. The prospect for historical review and CRD involvement.
2. Milestones to be covered in writing:
a. A written proposal for centralized review was not
prepared. Tt was preempted by the Director-sponsored historical
review proposal stemming fxom possible FOIA relief. The goal
now is to have the Agency accept centralized review of historical
~matexial, prove through that program the value and efficiency of
the centralized review concept, then move to centralize all review
for public release;
b. The guidelines for CRD/OIS review of SAES have been
updated. ~ copy of the new guidelines is attached;
c. CRD has written an initial proposal for possible use
in implement~.ng the new historical review program.

FROM: Chief, Classification Review Division
SUBJECT: Updated Guidelines for Review of Sumrnaxies
o~ Agency Employment (SAE)
1. CRD has been reviewing Summaries of Agency Errzployment (SAES)
for about one year. Now it is time to review and surrm~arize the exper-
ience we have gained and on that basis to reformulate our guidelines.
We began the reviews of SAES in a very conservative posture and we
have been able, by coordinating specific questions with the responsible
components; to adjust and hone those guidelines in many areas. Listed
below are guidelines from the following offices:
a. The use of common generic professional titles is allowed,
such as:
(7.) Aiechanical engineer
(2) Chemist
(_3) physicist
(4) psychologist
~S) Graphic artist
(6) Linguist
(7) Etc. (See the attached brochure on the
CIA mission for additional examples)
(Attachment A)
b. In the SIGINT field, one can mention SIGINT collection/
processing, Morse/Non-Morse and voice collection disciplines,
and signal analysis. (See the ClA recruitment advertisement from
the Washirigtori Post (Attachment B)

c. One may associate the National Photographic Interpretation
Center (NPTC) with the CIA. Mention may also be made of the Technical
Services Operations Support Group in the NPTC. General discussion
of imagery as one of the nation's key sources of military and economic
intelligence is also permitted. (See the attached NPTC Career
Opportunities booklet.) (Attachment C)
d. One can mention the role of the Office of Scientific and
Weapons Research (OSWR) which is responsible for determining the nature
and scope of foreign scientific and technical programs and activities,
as well as the performance capabilities of foreign weapons and space
systems. Furthermore, one may note that specific areas of research and
analysis include science policy, the physical and life sciences, military
technology, nuclear energy and weapons, nuclear proliferation, offensive
and defensive strategic weapons systems, tactical and general purpose
weapons, anti-submarine warfare, space systems and technology transfer.
Other specific fields that may be mentioned are:
0 microelectronics: chip technology, microprocessors
0 ballistics missile systems: propulsion systems, missile
modeling
0 aircraft, SAM, and ABM systems
0 directed energy: laser and particle beam weapons
D nuclear technology: warhead technology, reactor design
and technology
0 naval weapons and sensors: acoustic and non-acoustic
detection, anti-ship and ASW weapons
