Fitzwater Deputy Director for Administration SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 11 January 1985 1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI: None. 2. Items/events of interest: a. To meet the DDCI's mandate that applicants for Agency employment are fully cleared and ready to EOD 120 days after their applications are received at Headquarters, Office of Personnel/Employment has implemented a number of measures, some of which have radically altered practices to which components have long been accustomed. Copies of applications are now being sent to components within four days of their arrival. Components must decide in one week whether to interview the applicant. The interview, whenever possible, will occur within 14 days, after which the component must make a hiring decision within 30 days, the remaining 90 days being needed for security and medical clearances. Additional personnel have been assigned to processing functions in Employment and a special monitoring unit has been established to ensure that every applicant file in Employment moves swiftly and steadily through the complex system of review and decision. In this regard, the Deputy Director for Employment briefed personnel representatives from all Agency components concerning new processing procedures. b. On 3 January, the General Services Administration (GSA) advised that they plan to sort out the tax reimbursement provisions of the Warner/Wolf Bill sometime this month. Once that is done and GSA obtains the Office of Management and Budget and the Internal Revenue Service coordination, they plan to publish the new tax regulation in the Federal Register. GSA's earliest estimate for publication is 1 March. c. The Executive Order for the 6 January Legislative Pay Increase was received on 2 January. All of the employees' personnel records were updated over the weekend. This is the first time in the past five years that the Executive Order has been received before the effective date. 25X1 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/02/23: CIA-RDP87M00539R003004880013-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/02/23: CIA-RDP87M00539R003004880013-2 LZ/V I e. The Deputy Director of Personnel and an Office of Communications (OC) representative briefed two members of the House Appropriations Committee, Defense Subcommittee on the implementation of the OC pay banding.

Among this group is an applicant attending graduate school at Oxford University as well as a Rhodes Scholar student. Last year, the DDI received a total of E ]Graduate Fellows.

To date, the Office has received= responses to the advertisement. o.

You may find it of some interest. Attachment: As stated Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/02/23: CIA-RDP87M00539R003004880013-2 - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/02/23: CIA-RDP87M00539R003004880013-2 The year-end statistical review of PAO activities reveals some interesting things. In 1984 we received 7360 inquiries of all kinds from the public and media, only 13 fewer than in 1983--remarkable consistency. The 2030 answers we prepared in response to public mail received was an increase of nearly 700, up 51 percent over 1983. The quality of responses was also enhanced by the improved quality and variety of off-the-shelf informational materials PAO maintains for public distribution. PAO in 1984 processed 290 requests for you, the DDCI or others to accept speaking engagements, 95 of which were honored, roughly a 20 percent increase in overall activity. On the media side, we received far fewer requests for interviews of you or other senior officials--89 down from 166--probably due to the diversions of the election year. Only 12 interviews were granted. Media requests for one-on-one background briefings by our analysts, however, was on a par in 1984 with the previous year--104 vs. 115. We honored 42 of these in 1984, 40 in 1983. PAO itself provided 273 briefings in 1984 (up from 247, a 15 percent increase) to public and academic groups, training groups, foreign liaison, other government organizations, and scores of specialized activities of interest to CIA. We prepared 26 speeches for you and the DDCI, up from 19 in '83. Our media research-and-services group in 1984 increased its '83 output by nearly 50 percent, servicing 4211 requests for data from the newsclip library. This may indicate an increasing level of interest in media reporting in more sectors of the Agency. Publications Review Board activity seems to have leveled off after several years of dramatic rises to reach today's rate: 279 reviews in '84 vs. 274 in '83.
