A popular expression today is "one person can make a difference." This is especially true at Classification, Repair and Disposal Section (CR&DS). However, in this case it is three individuals. In June 1987, CR&DS was assigned three "summer-only" employees; , and to assist the Section in the disposition of Agency excess property. The addition of these individuals allowed the CR&DS staff, which has been short-handed all year due to personnel TDY and/or rotations, to concentrate full-time on the administrative side of the property disposal process while the summer employees handled the more time-consuming physical receipt and verification, storage and materiel movement functions. In just a short time, the overcrowded aisles were cleared and gaps began to appear in the storage racks as materiel was quickly processed into the respective disposal channels. Much of the credit for this achievement and our thanks is attributable to the dedication, initiative, and untiring efforts of these summer employees. Yes, these individuals have made a difference: 2 SECRET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/20: CIA-RDP91-00280R000300350019-3 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/20: CIA-RDP91-00280R000300350019-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/20: CIA-RDP91-00280R000300350019-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/20: CIA-RDP91-00280R000300350019-3 ATTACHMENT C 25X1 ITEM OF INTEREST "Happy 1990!" Last January as Agency employees greeted each other in the hallways with cheers of "Happy New Year" and "Happy 1987", budget officers were fervently praying for a happy 1990. This apparent flight from reality is actually a product of the "Twilight Zone" type environment in which the budget officer must function. In this land of shadows, years lose their "Gregorian" meaning and numbers take on the mantle of "art" rather than "science". The attached graphic presentation of the Budget Cycle opens a window on this strange, new world and allows us to peer in at the often misunderstood machinations of the budget officer. The Agency budget cycle consists of three phases covering four years. It begins with the formulation of the budget lighting the landscape with the glow from hundreds of crystal balls. Responding to general and fiscal guidance provided by the DCI and the Executive Director, components formulate Program Plans establishing their resource requirements for the budget years (FY 89 and FY 90). Directorates submit these Program Plans to the Comptroller where they become the basis for the Agency Program Plan which is reviewed by the CIA's Executive Committee. After review and final decisions by the Executive Director, changes are processed and the Budget Estimate is created for submission to the IC Staff and OMB in September as the Agency's recommended program. Our external reviewers attempt to bring the light of day to the Agency Budget as they conduct hearings and reviews to fine tune the Budget Estimate. Program managers are called upon to explain and justify their resource requests. Based upon these hearings, the examiners recommend deletions and additions to the Agency program. The Agency then prepares its Congressional Budget which is submitted in January as part of the President's Budget. The Congressional Budget is reviewed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), the Senate Appropriations Committee (SAC) and the House Appropriations Committee (HAC). Most of these committees conduct hearings from February through June and issue classified reports that detail additions, deletions, or other action taken as a result of their review. The preparation of the Budget is a massive undertaking that defies simple explanations but we hope this serves to shed some light on the process.
