SUBJECT Review of Contract Personnel Administration
in CIA, 19
1. The introduction to the paper says that the paper
will discuss, among other things, ". . . the history of
writing personal service contracts, preparation of cover
agreements, and a variety of 25X1 C
agreements as well as the evolution o contractual principles
in CIA as they have evolved over the years." Basically,
the thrust of the paper is limited to a discussion of the
last point-evolution of contractual principles etc. but even this discussion in focused almost exclusively on
personal service contracts for career agents.
2. The paper is badly written, poorly organized,
repetitious, and probably raises more questions about
Contract Personnel Administration than it answers. Of
the two sections into which the paper was divided, I
suggest that Part I, The S ial Contractin Officer, be
deleted completely. eUTiarly, the ntro d uct on needs to
be redone completely.
3. Part II can be salvaged if a great deal more thought
and effort are put into it. As noted in the extensive marginal
comments, the paper in ].most completely lacking in specific
details and examples to illustrate the problems which prec pa teci
Part 14 of the CPR, its subsequent revisions, and the va r Ious
that
are mentioned.

4. The Paper avoidsp practically all discussion of
such critical items as:
contracts (for total numbers of personal service
any given time period or over time), total
costs, number" of employees in major contract categories
(for any given time period or over time), YO- 10,09 term contracts
short term. con tra c is
(Mmbern and definition of short
long terms), numbers of citizens vs. numbers of fore i and
nationals under contract, and gee ra gr
contract
employeeea over time as Agency priorities changed.
5. The paper also has a number of gays of several years may be completely ignored. At some points
23 with reference to completeness of filet and pinta
with reference to contractual salary 22
there are apparent contradictions mhi I ca are in need of 25X1 C
esplona tion.
6. Pages l8-22 Con to i n a separate ss ec t ion on Career
A +en is and there would seem to be some au ility of such a section, or about~uheti:~n ah
of such a section at that the suitability
particular point in the text.
7. No attempt has been made to follow the Historical
staff style Manual and
g. As this piece
now stands, It is a long way from
being an acceptable contribution to the historical reports
on the Office of Personnel.

Remarks: As I mentioned to you last week,
this seems to have come right off "the old
drawing board," Unfortunately, it won't
fly! Since I am sure that a new piece
can't be built out of my editorial comments
per se, I want to sit down with the Contras
people and discuss a positive outline for
a new paper. The editorial comments on the
attached copy will, however, provide some
guidance toward a more useable paper.
