suisuccessfully for over a rear to fill four positions involving analy-
sis of foreign communications antennae and equipment and of mis-
sile guidance systems During _the past three years, the Naval Intel-
tieence Comnd has lost analysts in grades GS-11 through
GS-14 to the Deferiseintelligencie Arm,. the Central Intelligence
Agency, and the National Security Agencr.ilocording to the Navy,
Lt air the individuals involved in this outflow to other intelli-
Senee agescins were employees at the GS-11 level (20 individuals)
and at the OS-12 level (49 individuals) who left solely because of
the greater promotional opportunities at DIA. CIA, and NSA In
one case, a 0S--12 Naval fitelligenoe Support Center analyst left
for a GS-11 position at NSA.
As a general matter, inability to retain experienced civilian per-
tornnel has an especially detrimental effect in the military depart-
ments due to the persornel practice of the armed forces of rotating
military personnel into and out of intelligence amignmenu in the
military departments. Beag use the military personnel rotate so fre-
quently, the military departments must rely upon their civilian in-
telligence personnel to piovide the element of continuity essential
to the effective performance of intelligence functions Accordingly,
retention of civilian intelligence personnel take* high priority
within the military departments' intell. ence programs.

Subsection 1590.,e1(l) grants the Secretary of Defense special au-
thority during fiscal year 1987 to terminate a military department

advisable in the interests of the United States and he determines
that procedures prescribed in other termiruition statute* cannot be
invoked in a manner consistent with national security. Such deci-
sions by the Secretary are final and not subject to appeal or review
outside the Department of Defense. The Secretary of Defense must

the special termination authority is exercised. The requirement for
notification to the intelligence committees facilitates oversight of

Election 604(b) of the bill makes a conforming amendment to the
'table of sections of chapter 81 of Title 10 of the United States Code.
Section 505. NSA Acquisition of Critical Skills
Section 505 of the bill emends the Netional.Security Agency Act
of 1959 to authorize the Secretary of Defense to send NSA civilian
1001 to be students at accredited professional, technical and
ititherP1=Itutions of higher learning for training at the undergrad-
-Amato Weal. The purpose of Section 505 is to establish an undergrad-
Mate training program. including training which may lead to the
Assecalauraste degree, to facilitate the recruitment of individuals,
'particularly minorit high school students, with a demonstrated co- \
pability to develop skills critical to NSA'. minion.
Section 505 is designed to increase the capability of NSA to
acilleve simultaneously two of its important personnel objectives
(1) ensuring equal employment opportunity within NSA through
affirmative action and (2) developing and retaining personnel
trained in the skills essential to effective performance of NSA 's
minion.
The NSA mission demands employees of extraordinary. aptitud.
and strong bas,c undergraduate training in certain discipline.:
such as mathernati. computer science, engineering and forei,::.
languages The ins..iiutions of higher learning in the United State:
currently do not produce a sufficient pool of such graduates to sat?
isfy the personne requirements of the private sector and of grivern
ment agencies Gi.en the short supply of qualified college grado?
etas in these disciplines. NSA has difficulty satisfying its esi.entis:
needs for such personnel Within this general requirement for
skilled penionnel, the Agency has even greater difficulty recruiting
sufficie.nt qualified minority graduates to meet the Agency's obliga-
tion to ensure equal employment opportunity through affirmative
action. The Agency has difficulty competing with other employers
and particularly private sector employers who can offer more fa-
vorable cornpensatior. arrangements, to attract these graduates
Section 505 presents a workable solution to the problem the
Agency has in attracting sufficient numbers of high aptitude col.
lege graduates, particularly minorities, trained in critical basic dis.
ciplines. Under Section 505, the Agency can identify high aptitude
high school graduates, with special efforts to identify minority high
school students, and offer them NSA employment and an under-
graduate education funded by NSA.
Section 505 enacts ? new Section 16 of the National Security
Agency Act of 1959 (50 USC. 402 note) to establish the NSA un?
diruate training program.
bedsction 16(al states the purpose of the section, which is to es-
tablish an undergraduate training program, including training
which may lead to the baccalaureate degree, to facilitate the re-
cruitment of individuals, and particularly minority high school stu-
