SUBJECT: Multi purpose Slots
1. In recent discussions with the Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence and the Assistant Director for Personnel the subject
of multi-purpose slots has been considered. It has been agreed
that the establishment of a separate block of positions to be used
for the assignment of personnel in the capacity of full time inter-
office consultants or specialists is feasible.
2. It has been recognized that within the Central Intelligence
Agency the need exists for the retention of selected personnel who
possess unusual qualifications which cannot be fully exploited by
any one component of the Agency on a current full time basis.
However, such individuals may have one or more capabilities which
can be utilized on a full time basis by a combination of Agency
components until the need arises for the maximum exploitation of
their knowledge and skills by a single Agency component.
3. The Office of Training is aware of at least five individuals
who fall within thie category.
4. This office must be continually informed of the detailed
functions performed by each segment of the Agency. This knowledge,
together with the experience gained through the establishment and
administration of the Junior Officer Training Program and certain
aspects of the Career Development Program, could be readily applied
to the management of such multi-purpose slots.
5. It is proposed, therefore, that the Office of Training be
charged with the responsibility of developing and initially implement-
ing a program for the administration of ten multi purpose slots.
