-- On 21 February,) employees heard the first in a series of financial
seminars. While the speaker's presentation, "Your Check Book and Personal
Budget," was intended to be a narrow focus, during the question and answer
period his subject matter was expanded. Based upon the enthusiasm of the
audience and subsequent comments we have received, there is definitely an
interest in continuing the financial seminars. We will continue to provide
employees with information on the nature of the specific presentation and
the audience we believe will benefit most from the presentation. Our next
seminar is to be held on Tuesday, 25 March. The subject will be "Life
Cycle Investing," presented by Mr. Wayne Nelson, Vice-President Merrill
Lynch.
-- The Agency is seeking a delegation of authority from OPM in order to
fulfill one of the requirements of the Defense Authorization Act of 1986.
Under this Act, male employees ages 18-26 hired after 8 November 1985 must
certify that they have met the registration requirements of the Selective
Service Act. Willful failure to comply may be grounds either for not
hiring an individual or for terminating an employee. Congress designated
OPM as the adjudicating authority in determining compliance. Since many
applicants and affected employees are covert, a delegation of authority to
CIA is necessary.
Budget
-- 0/Comptroller has begun review of the directorates' 1988 base programs and
will provide the results to the directorates late next week. The
directorates have also submitted revised profiles for the ongoing
initiatives. Following Comptroller review, an Executive Committee meeting
on the ongoing initiatives is scheduled for 20 March at 1100.

12. The Congress has passed and sent to the President a bill which would
entitle retirees to receive health insurance rebates under the Federal
Employee Health Benefits Program. This bill is a revision of the earlier one
which was vetoed by the President because it would have increased the
Government's share of health insurance premiums. The new bill does not have
this same provision and it is anticipated that the president will sign the
bill momentarily. He has until 4 March 1986 to sign.

18. The Interagency Language Roundtable Testing Committee met on
24 February to discuss the results of the recent Interagency Testing
Comparability Study and to plan follow-up action. The Committee tasked the
three participating agencies, Defense Language Institute, CIA, and Foreign
Service Institute (FSI), with crossrating and analyzing discrepant test
results in French, German, Russian, and Spanish to determine the causes. Each
of the three agencies will also conduct interrater reliability studies in
various languages in the future. CIA and FSI representatives agreed to
collaborate in refining testing procedures at levels below three and in
developing technique and content areas for job-related proficiency tests.

20. The first ever double running of the five-week New Analyst Course was
completed last week. The double running was necessary to accommodate the
increased number of analysts hired by the DI. There were students in
attendance. Based on the good results, OTE will do this again, should the
need arise. About half of the class sessions were conducted jointly to use
guest speakers more efficiently. Nearly half of the students were from the
Office of Scientific and Weapons Research, by far the largest contingent from
that office ever to attend this course.
