MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Strengthening the Functions and Role
of the Office of the Inspector General
1. I have carefully reviewed the report of the Steering
Group on strengthening the functions and role of the Office of
the Inspector General forwarded with your memorandum of
1 December 1987. I congratulate the members of the Steering
Group on an excellent report. Your oral report to the senior
staff yesterday was warmly received.
2. I approve the report as written. I intend to make
copies of it available to the intelligence oversight committees
today. I wish to start the implementation process immediately
and ask that you continue to oversee the implementation of the
Steering Group's report. This will require a number of
administrative directions in order to make certain that the
career path program is promptly put into place.
3. In addition to the recommendations of the Steering
Group, and after consultation with Deputy Director Gates, I
would like to add the following to the process:
-- The Deputy Inspector General should be elevated
from SIS-04 to SIS-05 to make the IG office
parallel and comparable to the directorates.
-- We should initially limit the pool of fast-rising
managers assigned to the IG to those from
Category I GS-15s through SIS-03.
-- We should monitor the adequacy of the present
Investigations and Compliance Staff and I am
entirely receptive to augmenting resources in this
area to assure a more aggressive use of this unit,
especially by the DCI and DDCI.
-- The Inspector General should report directly to
the DCI.
-- I intend to include the Inspector General in the
Monday morning senior management breakfast.
4. Again, my sincere thanks to you and to the members of
your Steering Group for a job well done.
