Challenges and Accomplishments
in the Directorate of Administration
Memorandum for DDA from D/PAO, dated 14 June 1988;
DCI's Speech at the 12 July SIS Promotion Ceremony
1. Pursuant to your request of 14 June, I am providing herein information
outlining some of the challenges to and significant accomplishments in the
Directorate of Administration. This information is in unclassified form and
hopefully will be helpful to you in preparing the DCI's speech for the 12 July
SIS Promotion Ceremony.
2. Challenges: As the Directorate of Administration (DA) plans for the
next twelve to eighteen months, it faces the challenge of:
a. Coordinating and effecting the move of Agency components into the
new Headquarters Building -- the most significant challenge to the DA in
the near term. This must be successfully accomplished while we continue
such efforts as the modernization of the telecommunications network,
automation of our support systems, development of and
enhancement of customer services, all in the face of shrinking resources
and without sacrificing the high quality which we always seek to attain.
b. Ensuring the security of our facilities overseas.
c. Developing in coordination with other Agency entities'a
centralized counterintelligence training program for Agency personnel that
will provide a basic overview for all our employees and intensive
instruction for our people going abroad. We also must assist other
government agencies in establishing similar programs.

3. Accomplishments - Over the past six months or so, the DA cites among
its accomplishments the following:
a. The Office of Information Technology, in a major effort,
successfully moved the Agency's general-purpose computer systems from the
Computer Center to the New Headquarters Building over the Memorial
Day weekend, 27-30 May. The move included five IBM mainframes, associated
peripheral equipment, and 425 billion characters of on-line data storage.
A total of 269 major hardware units and 64,000 data tapes were moved to
the New Building Operations Center. All systems were available to
employees as usual upon their return to work the morning of 31 May. Other
moves to the New Building have included
This office also achieved Initial Operating Capability for the
Cray X-MP/24 supercomputer, in a joint effort with the Office of
Information Resources and the Office of Scientific and Weapons Research,
DI. The Cray, which has been estimated to run scientific applications
more than 20 times faster than IBM's largest mainframe computer, is being
used by one of our offices to process numerically-intensive computer
models and simulations such as those needed for satellite orbit and
antisubmarine warfare computations.
c. The Office of Security's (OS) Security Protective Service (SPS)
assumed responsibility for the protection of all Agency buildings in the
Headquarters area at the beginning of this calendar year. This was a very
major undertaking in that OS has had to recruit, train, and maintain a
cadre of more thanr--]Security Protective Officers (SPOs). Up to this
time, the GSA Federal
Protective Officers had provided continuous
protection to our buildings for some 40 years. OS also established and
implemented an Agency-unique Security Awareness Program with over 38
briefings given to Agency employees on a wide variety of topics.
The Program includes an Office-by-Office briefing on current security
issues. In addition, a briefing specifically designed to alert people to
the Soviet espionage threat to industry has been given to over
Agency contractor personnel, as well as to representatives of the FBI,
Defense Investigative Service, . and Naval Investigative Service.

A.
d., In our training area we dramatically expanded overseas instruction
to improve the training opportunities of our personnel abroad and to meet
increasing training requirements. For the first time we took our
management and secretarial training programs overseas to several
locations. (Between FY 1985 and FY 1987 the number of students trained
STAT abroad increased
We inaugurated a modern conterence center to meet the escalating
requirements for classified conferencing from Agency components. The new
facility can accommodate up to 36 participants in single-person quarters
and contains two large conference rooms. We have begun to conceptualize
and plan a comprehensive counterintelligence training program for Agency
employees. Several ad hoc segments of instruction have been delivered,
including training for Agency officers who will help to monitor compliance
with the INF treaty. In an effort to expand alternative methods of
STAT delivering training, we inaugurated learning centers at one of
STAT our satellite buildings, 1These centers will allow
hundreds of our employees--at their own pace and convenience--to access a
wide variety of self-study materials, including computer-based training.

e. Our Office of Personnel, which is constantly reviewing our
personnel administration and compensation system against the latest
developments and findings in the area of human resource management,
enlisted the support and cooperation of our colleagues in the Intelligence
Community and, under auspices of the oversight committees, jointly
contracted with the National Academy of Public Administration to review
our compensation system against these latest developments. This office
expanded our minority recruitment efforts in academia by conducting
seminars for university placement directors and minority program
coordinators, and implemented a Minority Undergraduate Scholarship
Program. It increased contacts with ethnic associations and
business/trade/government entities to assist in developing recruitment
networks for minorities. Of special note is the fact that this office
conducted a successful Combined Federal Campaign which exceeded the Agency
goal by more than $20,000.
