9. A special meeting was arranged this past week to discuss minority
recruitment with Councilman Richard Alatorre, who represents the 14th District
of Los Angeles. The Office of Personnel (OP) emphasized the importance of the
Agency's minority recruitment effort in general and the His anic program in
particular. After much dialogue and a visit to and Headquarters
facilities, OP was able to remove his initial suspicions, and he offered his
assistance in our ongoing minority recruitment effort. The Councilman's
initial suspicions, however, do highlight and bring vividly into focus the
task we face in reaching and educating the minority population in the U.S.
10. As part of the preparation for internally administering a retirement
system for all Agency employees, an OP/Retirement Division representative
visited the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri.
The NPRC is primarily responsible for the maintenance and retention of current
and former military and Federal civilian employee records. Our representative

was well received at the Center and was provided a tour as well as a briefing
of the policy and procedures used by the center. In addition, important
contacts within NPRC have been developed to assist us in administering our own
retirement program.
11. The Stackig, Sanderson & White Advertising Agency has provided three
proposed advertisements directed specifically at the legal, teaching and
military professions. The ads are designed primarily to reach potential
candidates for the DO direct hire program; but, hopefully, there will be
considerable fall-out for the Career Training Program as well. The ads are
well-written, and the first newspaper ad will appear in The Washington Post on
16 March. Ads also will be placed in professional journals as soon as
publishing deadlines permit.
12. The recent addition of an extended dependent health insurance plan
for children of Agency employees enrolled in the Association Benefit Plan
(ABP) has been well received. Currently 54 children have been enrolled, and
32 additional applications have been mailed to interested parties. We
anticipate this enrollment will be increased further during a special
enrollment period between 1 April.and 15 May, during which time children who
became age 22 between 1 January 1984 and 30 September 1985 may also apply.
14. The first offering of the Executive Development Program elective
seminar "Technical Security: Countering The Hostile Challenge" which was
conducted by OS on 5 - 6 March and was attended by 0 senior Agency officers.
The purpose of the new technical security program is to apply advanced
technologies more commonly used in offensive efforts to defend against hostile
technical penetration in the US and overseas. The first session covered
"The second session was an open discussion o
the technical challenge with emphasis on the threat to automated systems
overseas.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: David Grie
SUBJECT:
Update on Congress
--There is much support and little opposition to Gates'
confirmation. However, there is no chance that he will be
confirmed before the Easter recess; we estimate mid to late
April.
--We have been heavily involved in facilitating briefings
on Nicaragua--over 15 individual and 5 committee sessions.
The Administration is 10 to 15 votes short in the House at
this writing. The Senate is less clear.
--You are hosting several lunches to present Agency Seal
Medallions to former oversight Members. Three small
breakfasts are also scheduled after the Easter recess for
Senators Stevens, Boren and Cohen (one at a time).
--We have attached amendments to the portal to portal
transportation bill now in the Senate which would cover the
DDCI and other Agency vehicles.
--We have drafted letters from you to Shultz, Weinberger,
Poindexter and Jim Miller that support the submission of new
leaks legislation, inasmuch as OMB forced the provision out
of our FY 1987 Authorization bill, but with the understanding
that they would support separate legislation.
--We have problems with the version of the Omnibus
Diplomatic Security and Anti-Terrorism bill before the
House. If we can't correct it before it passes the House, we
will ask you to sign a letter to Durenberger to seek support
for sponsoring our amendments on the Senate side.
