MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 18 October 1985
1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI:
None.
2. Items/events of interest:
a. The Office of Personnel (OP) reports the following recruitment
activities during the reporting period:
The 8 October 1985 Business People, Inc., telecast, which
was beamed to 22 colleges nationwide for students in hi-tech
disciplines, marked another milestone in the recruitment area..
CIA representatives who were present at each campus indicated
that it was well received by the students in attendance, and the
consensus was that it was a worthwhile public relations effort.
Over 125 students listened to the CIA presentation, and eight
personal history statements were distributed--seven at the
University of Virginia and one at Prairie Union in Texas. Two
recruiters faced benign demonstrations against CIA presence on
the Berkley and University of Texas campuses.
Employment is working closely with American Telephone &
Telegraph's Information Systems Division (Philadelphia) to
interview for possible employment with the Agency AT&T employees
facing layoff. AT&T plans a Career Day on 22 October in New
Brunswick, N.J., for over 500 AT&T employees facing job loss.
will attend the
session. Indications are that all three categories of potential
hires will be represented at the Career Day--professional,
technical and clerical.

b. On 10 October, Mr. Wayne Nelson, Vice President of Merrill Lynch,
interviewed seven employees for an article he is writing for The Washingtonian
magazine, titled 'The Ten Best Places to Work in Washington.' The Acting
Chief, Recruitment Operations Division, and a Public Affairs officer monitored
the interview. The employees represented the Directorate of Administration
(DA), Directorate of Intelligence (DI), Directorate of Science and Technology
(DS&T) and the DCI offices and responded to questions about their work,
salary, quality of life at CIA, career progression, travel and training. The
article will appear in the December issue of The Washingtonian.
c. The House Post Office and Civil Service Committee chaired by
Representative William D. Ford has announced the provisions of its
supplemental retirement proposal. As expected, the provisions are more
generous than the Senate Roth/Stevens proposal (which costs 21.9% of payroll),
provide for higher annuity levels, a high-three salary base, and full
cost-of-living adjustments (at an estimated cost of 25.5% of payroll).
Hearings are tentatively planned for 23 and 24 October. Following passage of
the respective bills in the House and Senate, the issue will then go to the
conference committee for final resolution. We will continue to follow closely
the upcoming events to make judgments on how best to proceed with our own
proposal currently with Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
d. The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) Staff has trained 178
keyworkers and chairpersons with an additional 159 scheduled to receive
training by 15 October. Video cassettes of the CFC movie, 'Give Somebody a
Chances and the kickoff rally are now available and being disseminated
outlying buildings.
e. As of 31 August, Insurance Operations Division (IOD) had processed
42,139 claims totaling $16,660,248, which is a 15% dollar increase over the
same period in 1984. The impact of this volume of claims has been staggering
on our claims processors. To assist in reducing the claims backlog, we have
trained five non-adjudicator IOD employees to process simple claims which is
providing some assistance in holding our claims backlog to the current six
week level. In addition, on Saturday, 5 October, there was an all out
overtime effort involving 15 non-IOD'ers who assisted with filing and
preparation of claims checks to policyholders and providers. We are currently
working on claims received 27 August 1985.
f. The Department of Labor's Employee Compensation Appeal Board
(ECAB) is about to review the first case ever appealed to the Board by an
Agency employee. To prepare for the hearing, clearances have been obtained on

the ECAB members and security briefings have been arranged for the Board
members regarding handling and storage of classified material during the
review.
g. There has been an 18% increase in Savings Bond payroll deductions
since the completion of this year's campaign. For the last pay period prior
to the Bond Campaign, there were 980 participants with bi-weekly deductions of
$15,727. For the pay period following the campaign which ended on
28 September, there were 1,112 participants with bi-weekly deductions of
$18,636.
h. The first phase of the Computer Assisted Travel System (CATS), an
automated system to assist in the preparation and review of travel
accountings, was brought on-line. The inauguration of CATS is a significant
step in the automation of the travel accounting process within a centralized
travel service.

m. On 27 September, the Executive Director granted approval for the
Office of Logistics (OL) to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of office
space on the 1st floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building. A direct interim
lease was signed on 8 October between Dominion Management Company and the U.S.
Government which allows the Agency to acquire the 1st-floor space as parcels
become vacated by the current commercial tenants. The first parcel,
consisting of 2,450 square feet of space, is vacant and will become available
for use by the Office of Training and Education (OTE). All remaining office
space in the building should be under lease to the Agency by June 1986.

r. Requirements for security escorts have risen to well over 200 per
day. To satisfy this large number of requirements, efforts are being made to
hire more special escorts, use personnel from the Agency pool, and use
off-duty Protective officers on an overtime basis. Consequently, on
9 and 10 October, an OS representative was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
interviewing approximately 60 candidates for Security Protective Officer and
Security Escort positions. Twenty of the candidates interviewed will be
placed in process.
t. Representatives from OIT, OF, and OL attended a Technical Exchange
Meeting post-mortem to review the procedures used in the fiscal year-end
process. The forum concluded that the planning, dedication, and cooperation
of the participating offices supported a very successfully 1985 year-end
process.

X. The Intelligence Process Seminar was conducted by OTE personnel in
Los Angeles from 8 - 11 October. Thirty Air Force officers (ranging from
First Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel) received an overview of the
Intelligence Community, how intelligence is collected using both technical and
human sources, and how it is used at the national policymaking level. The
presentations by National Security Agency (NSA) and the Directorate of
Operations (DO) were particularly well received.
y. The Office of Information Services (OIS) has completed the first
phase of locating records in the holdings of the DO for the 1946-47 period to
be considered for review under the Historical Review Program. They have
identified 123 jobs and 1,393 archives boxes of records. On 16 October, OIS
will begin assessing the material to determine what may be pertinent for
review under the program.
Z. At the invitation of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
on 16 September Chief, Psychiatric Operations Division (POD) addressed the
members of the Senate Staff on hijacking and hostage survival.
