IRANDUM FOR: CIA Career Service Board
SUBIECT: Multipurpose Slots
to 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 con-
sultants or specialists is feasible.
2a It has been recognised 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 maxima ex-
ploitation 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 this category0
1 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.
5o It is proposed, therefore, that the Office of Training be charged
with the responsibility of developing and initially implementing a progral
for the administration of ten multi-purpose slots.
