SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 5 July 1985
1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI:
None.
2. Items/events of interest:

a. On 1 July, the Office of Security (OS) inaugurated the Phase
I use of the Security Information Management System (SIMS). This marks
the beginning of on-line automated case processing in the Security
Records Division.
b. More than 300 inquiries have been received in response to the
special Security Escort opportunity for dependents of Agency employees.
Thus far, 142 completed applications and Personal History Statement forms
have been received and are in process. The first contingent of these new
Escorts is scheduled for EOD on 8 July, with subsequent EOD's to occur on
each Monday thereafter.
 g. The renovation of the North and South Cafeterias is nearing
completion. The newly renovated mezzanine area in the South Cafeteria
was opened officially at lunchtime on 3 July 1985. Carpeting of the
cafeterias is scheduled for completion on or about 22 July. During the
weekend of 28 June, in addition to installing carpeting, Schlosser
Company, Inc., continued work on the new gazebo, cove base millwork and
temporary dry wall covering of soffit truss beams. Additionally, the
following items represent updates on the total cafeteria project:
a. Sound-absorbing material will be placed on the ceilings
and walls of the cafeterias during August and September. This material,
combined with the new carpeting, should reduce appreciably the noise
level in the dining areas.
b. The final task of this phase of renovation and expansion
will be placement of area lights in the new dividers. This will be
completed by 30 September 1985.
c. Subsequent phases of the cafeteria project will expand
the dining and serving areas as far as the 1J Corridor to accommodate an
anticipated increase in patrons caused by occupancy of the New
Headquarters Building.
d. Periodic bulletins will be published to keep all
employees apprised of the status of the cafeteria project.

Additionally, from
27 June through 2 July, seven truck loads of steel and eight truck loads
of steel decking were received on the construction site. Installation of
the metal decking has begun and will follow in pace with the structural
erection.
i. A letter has been received from the Commonwealth of Virginia
authorizing Dewberry and Davis, engineers of Fairfax, Virginia, to
proceed with Phase II of the design for road improvements on Route 12V 'at
the Headquarters entrance. The letter states the State plans to
advertise the project in May of 1986 and will require completed plans no
later than 1 March 1986. We have been assured that this schedule will
permit completion of the road work prior to our occupancy in late summer
of 1987.
k. There are 51 confirmed candidates already scheduled for the
15 July Career Training Program course. Since there are a number of
applicants who still could be cleared by Security and OMS, we anticipate
a large class this running.
1. As a result of a recent Pittsburgh Press newspaper ad, over
300 clerical applicants attended a recruitment presentation held in
Pittsburgh. Of the 172 tested, 136 received Personal History
Statements. In addition, an afternoon presentation was held for 100
potential Electronic Technicians, Telecommunication Specialists, and
Communication Engineers.
m. In connection with an annual leave review project, the Office
of Personnel (OP) polled several other Federal agencies concerning the
number of hours of annual leave their employees forfeit each year.

We learned that none of the agencies contacted maintained such statistics
because 'nobody ever loses leave.' it appears that the Agency is indeed
unique in this area as 1) we do maintain such statistics; and 2) Agency
employees forfeit about 100,000 hours of annual leave each year.
o. The OP Retirement Division (RD) is making efforts to enhance
its external employment assistance by expanding contacts with firms in
the private sector. This activity is providing some very good job leads
for retirees and other employees leaving the Agency. Last week was an
25X1
25X1
for the job information, resume assistance, and encouragement provided
them as instrumental in achieving their objectives.
p. Employee Services Division/OP representatives are working
with the Office of Security to coordinate the expeditious handling of E::]
'Special security Escorts.' Through joint efforts the
goal is to have these people on board within two weeks after receipt of
their Personal History Statements. This group will consist of dependents
of Agency employees who will be hired as independent contractors to
perform 'limited' escort services in unclassified areas.
q. On 26 June, the Director of Training and Education sponsored
a one-day curriculum review conference on analysis training courses
conducted for the Directorate of intelligence. The conference was
organized and chaired by0 of the Analysis Training Branch (ATB)
as the first step in a continuous process of evaluation of the ATB
curriculum by a panel of senior DI managers and non-CIA sI)eciaIisV= on
analysis.

Director, Office of Global Issues; and the Chief National
Group/Office of Soviet Analysis,
T e conference provided insightful discussion of the
relationship among the core analysis training courses and further served
to identify gaps as well as to address the courses individually. While
the ATB program was highly praised by the participants, they also gave
recommendations for improving the quality of the.trairt44g service
provided the DI. Importantly, this experience furnished a guide for the
review of the curricula of other components of the Office of Training and
Education.
r. The first running of the Directorate of Science and
Technology (DS&T) Career Training Course by the Office of Training and
Education (OTE) started on 1 July 1985 with five Career Trainees and six
other recently hired professionals representing all six of the
Directorate offices. This course provides skills to make professionals
immediately useful in their first duty assignment. These skills include
briefing, writing, contracting, interacting on an interpersonal level,
creative problem solving, handling security issues, and traveling
overseas in a hostile environment. The DDS&T was the keynote speaker and
will join the class again on 2 August to present certificates to
graduates of this five-week course.
S. The Career Trainee Development Course (CTDC), Class 84, came
to an end on 28 June with an informal appearance by the ADDO,
who was here to address another course and was recruited to say the final
words to the Career Trainees (CTS). There were two new presentations
during the last segment of the course: 'Nuclear Terrorism,' by Beth
Renwick of the Department of Energy, and 'Psychology of Treason,' by
of the Psychological Operations Division of the Office
of Medical Services (OMS). Both presentations were well received by the
CTS. The CTs will now move on to interim assignments in the Directorate
of Operations and Class 85, with an estimated sixty-six (66) students,
which will begin on 22 July.

u. Two classification review officers of the Office of
Information Services (0IS) completed a two-week TDY at the Eisenhower
Memorial Library. Forty-one boxes of files of the Operations
Coordinating Board (OCB), 1955-57, were reviewed. A large percentage of
the material ha!j:already been marked to be withheld from release because
of names associated with CIA. Upon examination, the reviewers determined
that about 90 percent of the withheld material could be released by
removing the CIA names from the dissemination list attached to the OCB
documents. OIS estimates that two reviewers working two weeks could
complete the review of the remaining CIA material.
v. During a visit to the Washington National Records Center
(WNRC), OIS was asked by the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) for assistance in three areas involving classification matters:
