3. DDA Quarterly
The DDA's Quarterly Review of the Office of Security will
be held on Monday, 4 February. This review will focus on
PTAS. announced that in the future, the schedule
will be standarized as follows: all presentations will be in
January, April, July, and October and they will always take
place on Wednesday morning. The OS Directorates will make
their presentations in chronological order as follows: P&M -
the first Wednesday in the month, PSI - the second Wednesday in

4. The John Doe Case
I advised staff meeting attendees that an
admitted ma a omosexual, recently fired from the Agency under
the DCI's authority to hire and fire employees, has brought
suit against the Agency. A lower court judge ruled in favor of
the plaintiff, stating that adequate administrative judicial
review was not conducted prior to the employee's dismissal.
The Agency has decided to appeal the decision; it is felt that
this would be a good case to test the DCI's authority to hire
and fire personnel under the provisions of the Central
Intelligence Act of 1949, as amended. (AIUO)
5. New DDA Office
The DDA recently announced the formation of the Office of
Information Technology, effective 13 February 1985. This new
office will be comprised of personnel from the old Office of
Data Processing (ODP), and from the Domestic
Network Division/Office of Communications (DND/OC). It was
determined that there was no office equipped to deal with the
massive flow of data coming into the Agency. This Office will
fill the void and effect a massive integration of computer and
datatechnology. (C) PER 4-82

Rgriod of time. This action was,, taken in light of the office's

hazardous duty assignments, there has been no indication of
what direction the changes will take. (AIUO)
