FROM THE D/L's CORNER **********
The "Basic Tenets of the Office of Logistics Personnel
Policy" attached hereto is being distributed to every OL
employee. These tenets are not some sort of slogan to be read
and forgotten. They are, in fact, basic guidelines which must
be adhered to if OL is to have the best career service in the
Agency--OL employees deserve nothing less. The tenets
represent the foundation of a sound personnel management policy
for OL. Most of the principles contained in the attachment are
particularly pertinent to OL employees who have supervisory
responsibilities. Consequently, supervisors will be held
accountable as to how well they carry out the appropriate
elements of this policy. This aspect of their responsibilities
will be reflected in their Performance Appraisal Reports
(PAR's). If there are any questions on this subject, employees
are encouraged to contact any member of the Logistics Career
Board or the personnel officers assigned to Personnel and
Training Staff.
1. The Office of Logistics welcomes new employees,
to Procurement
Division.
2. was presented the Career
Intelligence Medal on 26 August 1987, in recognition of his
distinguished, dedicated and superior service throughout the
Office of Logistics for 15 years. sustained
conscientious dedication and professionalism in technical and
managerial assignments earned him the respect of subordinates,
peers and superiors alike. His career has been characterized
by loyalty, dedication, integrity, and professionalism. Bill
achieved a high level of success in his pursuit of excellence
in support of the Agency's mission. His professional effort
allowed him to achieve significant accomplishments at the
highest standards of the Central Intelligence Agency and the
25X1 Federal government.

3. The Information and Management Support Staff has
relocated to Room 2G31
4. On 19 August, the New Building Project Office (NBPO)
hosted Messrs. Noel Fagerlund, President; Joseph Uicker, Vice
President; and Everett Medling, Project Manager of Smith,
Hinchman and Grylls (SH&G), the architectural firm for the New
Headquarters Building (NHB), on a tour of the Headquarters
Compound. They received a comprehensive tour of the NHB
construction site and held discussions with C/NBPO regarding
project status and SH&G performance. This was
25X1 Mr. Fagerlund's first visit to the Headquarters Compound.
5. On 21 August, NBPO was informed by the Project
Manager, Fairfax County Department of Public Works, that the
expansion and improvement of the pumping station serving the
Headquarters Compound, necessitated by the addition of the New
Headquarters Building, has been completed. The contractor who
performed the work provided a demonstration of the pumping
station improvements on 25 August to re resentatives of the
25X1 Facilities Management Division, OL.
6. Effective 17 August, Facilities Management Division
redesignated parking in the Headquarters West A Lot, Row 2,
from medical to visitor parking. Row 1, containing 26 spaces,
will remain medical parking and Rows 2 through 6 will be for
visitors. This redesignation was necessary as currently only
25X1 eight medical spaces are occupied on a daily basis.
25X1
8. On 20 August, the Printing and Photography Division, OL
(P&PD) successfully processed the first two Foreign Broadcast
Information Service (FBIS) Daily Reports received over the
25X1 fiber-optic data link to the P&PD Building. The
typesetting of these two books dramatically increased the
quality of these publications over the previous typewritten
format and decreased the number of pages due to compaction.
FBIS intends to add two books per week to this electronic
publication network until all eight Daily Reports are produced
25X1 in this manner.

ADMINISTRATI ?INTERNAL USE ONLY
BASIC TENETS OF THE OFFICE OF LOGISTICS
PERSONNEL POLICY
? The primary goal of the Office of Logistics (OL) is to make its career service the best in the
Agency?consequently, employees come first.
? In order to achieve the most effective career service, OL employees are encouraged to involve
themselves, to the maximum extent possible, in the overall goals of the career service.
? A maximum effort is made to create career opportunities for all OL employees.
? OL employees are their own career managers and they must actively participate in their
career development.
? OL employees' assignment preferences weigh heavily in the assignment process.
? The Logistics Career Board (LCB) actively seeks opportunities for officers, GS-13 and above,
to serve in rotational assignments outside of their functional disciplines (provided, of course,
that the employee is amenable to the assignment).
? We will exploit every opportunity to place qualified employees in rotational assignments
outside of the Logistics Career Service.
? With very few exceptions, all OL professional and technical positions are "rotatable," i.e.,
can be filled by any OL career subgroup employee.
? We encourage officers from other career services to be assigned to OL on a rotational basis.
? The Office satisfies external component requirements before internal requirements.
? OL overseas PCS positions may be filled by anyone from any OL career discipline.
? There is no such thing as an "automatic promotion" in OL.
? All officers promoted to GS-14/15 should be capable of filling most managerial positions
within the Office.
? All officers promoted to the SIS ranks should be capable of serving in most managerial
positions within the DA.
? No limit is to be imposed on training opportunities for OL personnel.
? A personal emergency represents the only valid reason to forego training.
? All panel deliberations, LCB meetings, and career counseling sessions are held in strictest
confidence.
? A truly open-door policy is encouraged at all levels within OL; free, open communications
are essential for effective personnel management.

The New Piller 1500 KW Uninterruptible Power System
Station Battery Switchover Operation
17 - 20 July 1987
During the timeframe of 17 - 20 July 1987, major electrical
work was performed in the Headquarters Building on one of the
Agency's Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) in the form of a
72-hour station battery switchover to a new system. This
battery switchover was extremely complex and failure to provide
redundancy could have resulted in loss of electric power to the
Ruffing Computer Center. The project was required to support
additional electrical loading requirements for the DDA/OIT due
to the new non-secure telephone switch and other Agency
sensitive telecommunications, and data processing equipment. In
order to ensure the success of the project, an extraordinary
logistical effort was extended by the Facilities Management
Division/OL personnel and contractors involved in this project.
Personnel involved with the operation faced numerous
problems in handling over 150,000 lbs. of hazardous corrosive
material. Work was performed in limited space in the old mail
conveyer tunnel area and in the existing battery room (all
while dealing with an environmental temperature of over 90
degrees). Aside from actual installation of new batteries and
removal of 70 tons of original batteries, the switchover
scenario also provided for the dummy load testing of the new
1500 KW system. This test was conducted to demonstrate the
ability of the new battery system to provide backup power for a
period of 15 minutes in the event of the total loss of
commercial power.

AbdNISTRATZVE - INTERNAL USE ONLY
The most critical activity during the switchover involved
generation of backup power during the extended period when the
UPS batteries were disconnected. In order to support the 1500
KW Piller system in case of commercial power loss during that
time, the gas turbine motor generators at the Central Plant
supplied the power to the 13,200 volt electrical feeder serving
the 1500 KW Piller System. At this same time, the VEPCO source
became the backup source of power to our on-line gas turbine
motor generators. Approximately 100,000 gallons of fuel was
expended at the Central Plant to run the generators at full
power during the weekend.
The Agency utilized over 560 staff hours and 580
contractor hours to accomplish the requirements of the mission
and to provide security escorts for the project. During the
course of the operation, all power supply remained constant and
all computer equipment remained on line. This successful
switchover operation marked the final milestone of an ongoing
two-year effort by the Facilities Management Division/OL, to
upgrade the UPS system located in the GJ-16 area. The
completion of this project exemplifies the spirit of commitment
to excellence for service to the Agency.
