15 June 1977
MEMORANDUM FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
1. I have invited all employees to direct written and
private communications to me whenever they have comments or
suggestions that they wish to bring to my attention. One
recent memorandum contained a suggestion that boxes be pro-
vided in which employees could place their written suggestions,
comments, opinions or ideas. It was further suggested that
these comments be addressed to office directors or equivalent
levels of senior management.
2. There is a need to open more personalized communica-
tions in the Agency, and I believe that-this suggestion ha.s
considerable merit. I have, therefore, directed that such a
program be implemented on a trial basis for 90 days..
3. Beginning 15 June 1977, suggestion boxes will be
placed in close proximity to the guard desks at the following
buildings:
Ames
Chamber of Commerce
Q
In the Headquarters Building, they will be at the following
Main Receptionist Area
Security Duty Office
Guard's Desk, South Cafeteria.
Guard's Desk, North Cafeteria
Employees working in other locations may forward their comments

4. Suggestions and comments may be submitted in any
manner but: should, if possible, be contained in a sealed
envelope addressed to the appropriate office director or
senior official. Envelopes received in this. manner will be
.forwarded directly to the addressee unopened. The. suggestions
need not be signed; but if they are,a response will be pro-
vided by the office to which the communication is addressed.
5. It is recognized that many of the comments will be
of a classified nature, and information through the SECRET
level may be deposited in these special suggestion boxes.
Suggestions involving material classified above the SECRET
level or involving special clearance material can be delivered
directly to the office of the Chief, Benefits and Services
Division in Room SE56, Headquarters Building.

tunity,and look forward to the positive results that your
comments will achieve.

STATINTL Reference: HN
dated 9 August 1977
The first full week in October each year is designated as "National
Employ the Handicapped Week" (NETH Week). Its primary purpose is to help
the public better understand and become more aware of the problems and con-
cerns of people with physical and mental handicaps. The goal of the Week
is an America where handicapped people are able to live and work to their
fullest potential -- as are most able-bodied people. But, without a job,
it's hard -- and not even being given a chance is the worst part.
The theme of this year's NETH Week is: CELEBRATE. Celebrate 1977
as a year of change and progress towards the goal. Celebrate the new
consumers: the active, disabled persons who are working together across
the nation to bring new power to their cause. Celebrate the abilities of
disabled people, focusing on the ways the entire society employers, pri-
vate citizens, government officials -- can together create a climate con-
ducive to equality for disabled people.
President Carter has strongly endorsed the government's commitment to
the principles of the handicapped program. In a Memorandum for the Heads
of Executive Departments and Agencies, he stated that "our nation can no
longer tolerate discrimination against the handicapped" and declared his
intention that the "government should set an example for fair employment
practices by demonstrating what can be done to make the fullest possible
use of the abilities of qualified handicapped people".
The Agency continues to make progress in the Handicapped (including
Disabled Veterans) Program -- and much of it is gratifying because it re-
flects the increased awareness, and personal interest, of many employees
working on their own rather than the push of the law. Some of our
achievements:
- manual communications machines (MCMs) have been purchased by ODP
for official use by their deaf employees;
- an MCM has been installed in the Security Duty Office pro-
vidiing 24-hour emergency contact service for those deaf em-
ployees who have similar equipment in their homes;
- sign language instructional courses on videocassettes have
been purchased by OTR and made available in the Self-Study
Center for interested employees;

PERSONNEL
- three groups of employees are studying sign lan ua a on their
lunch hours at Headquarters STATINTL
- parking spaces for handicapped visitors have been designated;
our recruiters have widened their contacts throughout the
country to locate qualified handicapped persons to meet our
requirements;
arrangements have been made to substitute an interview for
testing of deaf applicants for positions normally requiring
testing;
- architectural modifications have been completed at several
Agency buildings (lowered water fountains; reconfigured
restrooms; ramps);
- the Coordinator has continued to address groups of managers,
training courses, etc., on the program;
- the Handicapped Program Advisory Committee (HPAC) has been
meeting monthly to discuss ways of solving problems, publicizing
the program, etc.
The foregoing are but some of the accomplishments which are included
in the annual Report of Accomplishments forwarded to the Civil Service
Commission with the 1978 Affirmative Action Plan. A copy of this report STATINTL

THE HANDICAPPED PROGRAM
The first full week in October each year is designated as National
Employ the Handicapped Week. This Week is the major national event
celebrating the abilities of disabled people, and focusing on the ways
the entire society -- employers, private citizens, government officials --
can together create 'a climate conducive to equality for disabled persons.
President Carter's recent statement that "the time for discrimination
against the handicapped in the United States is over" means two things
to me -- attitudinal barriers towards hiring qualified disabled persons
must be torn down; and employment at the highest level for which a person
is qualified must be recognized as a right not to be abridged by reason of
the existence of a handicapping condition. I share the President's con-
cern for our disabled citizens and support the programs designed to pro-
vide full employment and advancement opportunity for those qualified to
meet our needs. Having outlined the Agency's policy in HN

Noses from the Director No. 12
92 a. gptember 1977
STATUS OF REORGANIZATION
Work on implementing the reorganization, discussed in "Notes" #10, 23
August, is continuing. As you know, President Carter charged me and
Secretary of Defense Brown with drafting and coordinating an Executive
Order that would implement the Presidential Directive of 4 August and update
Vxecutive Order 11905. Preparation of the new Executive Order has been
under the leadership of John McMahon, Acting D/DCI/IC, representing the
Community, and Admiral Daniel Murphy, representing the Defense
Department. We have reviewed carefully their early draft, and, following
several revisions, we are now circulating a revised version to the Community
members for coordination.
The details of the NIO/DDI merger have been completed. Official
announcement only awaits my briefing of the appropriate Committees of
Congress on the reasons for, and objectives of, the merger. As I have
emphasized before, neither this merger nor the reorganization as a whole will
change either of these components' relationship to the Agency
Now that Congress is in session, we will proceed as quickly as possible to
clear other aspects of the reorganization through the appropriate Congressional
channels. We will also take up such other issues as the location and makeup of
the National Intelligence Tasking Center, and consideration: of potential
nominees to head the Center and other new leadership posts.
UNCLASSIFIED PRODUCTION
i think it is noteworthy that the reports the DDI's Office of Economic
liesearch has published in the past five months on the world energy situation
and the Soviet economic situation have been receiving a great deal of public
and governmental attention. It is clear to me that they are playing a very
useful role, inside the government and out, in both their . -lassified and
unclassified versions. This is exactly the kind of stimulus good intelligence

analysis Is intended to provide in public and governmental decisionmaking
processes. While these examples have received more attention because we were
able to produce them in an unclassified version, they are only typical of the
good work we are producing today in many areas.
EEO ACTIVITIES
I would like to commend the work of those Agency employees responsible
for our EEO activities at the 34th National Biennial Convention of Delta
Sigma Theta, Inc. in Denver, Colorado last month. Delta is a minority public
service sorority committed to academic excellence and community service. In
this first year of Agency participation, our representatives discussed Agency
career opportunities with some 1,000 delegates, most of whom were graduate-
level professionals, and provided information and exhibits on the work of the
Agency. [ am dedicated to improving the posture of the Agency in the EEO
field, and want to express my appreciation to all those involved in this
tremendously important work.
BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE/MKSEARCH
On two previous occasions in this newsletter I have discussed the
revelations of past Agency involvement with chemical and biological testing
and experimentation. In my testimony before the Congress on the MKULTRA
case, I assured the American people that we would continue our efforts to
uncover the details and persons affected by these programs.
Recently, in the course of a routine review of files stored in the Agency
Archives, the Office of Security located 14 boxes of material pertaining to
BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE, which was the code name for testing programs
that preceded MKULTRA. Much of the material in this new find is open
literature or was obtained from overt sources, but it does provide additional
details on the scope of the programs. The activities conducted under
BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE were brought to the attention of both the
Rockefeller Commission and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Activities (the Church Committee) during their investigations.
We have also uncovered a few hundred documents pertaining to
MKSEARCH which was the umbrella program that replaced MKULTRA.
These documents, found among old budget materials, verify that
MKSEARCH began in 1964 and was terminated in 1972. They do provide
some added details on this program, which we had known very little about.
However, we have no reason to believe that the basic files were not destroyed
in 1972 as previously reported.
Consistent with my belief that we must be open and forthright in this
matter, I have informed the appropriate Senate and House committees of this
new material. Sanitized versions of the documents will be released under FOIA

procedures. While this policy of disclosure may be painful and embarrassing to
us all, I 'Feel it is absolutely necessary to rebuild and maintain the image and
credibility of the Central Intelligence Agency.
TOURS
The dates for running the tours for employees and their families have now
been set for 24 September and 1 October. Based on what happens on those two
days and, the reaction of our CIA families, we will make a final decision on the
future of the tour program.

 Visiting Groups
About 45 members of a National Security Agency
cryptolog:Lc course will visit Headquarters for a briefing pro-
gram on 24 August. These are noncommissioned and warrant
officers with 10-15 years of field experience in SIGINT opera-
tions. As a first for any of the Special Programs, this
class will tour the Signals Analysis Division Laboratory,
Directorate of Science and Technology.
Discovery of Additional Project ARTICHOKE Files
On 15 August, fourteen feet of material relating to
Projec RTICHOKE was discovered at the Agency Archives and
The material, relating to the ia56 period, had
not been incorporated in the primary Office of Security file
index. Although our initial review has been limited, it
would appear the material generally does not contain informa-
tion on major activities not previously reported. It does,
however, contain detailed information relating to Projects
ARTICHOKE and BLUEBIRD.
Documents Found in Public Printing Shop
I I On 17 August, the Agency was alerted to the
fact e documents were found in a printing shop in
Herndon, Virginia, which possibly belonged to the Agency or
another member of the Intelligence Community. The documents
were turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and

Notes from the Director No. 14
DDO REDUCTION IN FORCE
The DDO has completed notification of all those employees who will be affected
by the FY 1978 personnel reduction program. It has not been an easy task for any of
us, but I sincerely believe that these reductions are essential to the long-term health
of the D DO as an organization. If we are to attract high-quality people, we must
present job opportunities that represent a meaningful challenge to them. We cannot
be a proud and efficient organization if we are over-staffed. We will endeavor in
every way to find other openings within the Agency for DDO people whose skills can
be trans:,-erred, and to locate others in outside employment. Finally, I would
emphasize that our objective in this action has been to strengthen the DDO and to
build for its future.
CIA TOURS
As a result of the CIA family tours that were conducted on a test basis on three
successive Saturdays, we have concluded that it would be impractical to provide
regular public tours at Headquarters. We will, however, continue to provide
recognized groups an opportunity to visit the Agency when the visit can be scheduled
well in advance. This decision will be announced in a news release in 4 November,
which is printed below in its entirety.
DECISION MADE ON CIA TOURS
The CIA will provide groups from recognized organizations and institutions an
opportunity to visit its Headquarters building in Langley, Virginia.
However, after several weeks of testing, it has been determined that the Central
Intelligence Agency cannot provide regular public tours of the Headquarters.

 Approved For Release 2002/11/04: CIA-RDP80-00473A000300080006-9
Serious consideration had been given to such a project for several months. Eight
trial tours for members of Agency employees' families were conducted. About 3,700
persons participated in those tours, which consisted of a slide presentation on the
history of intelligence and the viewing of several exhibits on the ground floor of the
Headquarters building.
The trials confirmed that a wide variety of logistics problems would make it
impossible to conduct tours for the general public. It is impractical to conduct public
tours on working days because visitors would interfere with the normal business of
the Agency. Public tours on weekends also were ruled out primarily because of the
very limited number of people who could be accommodated, with the attendant
problem of arranging an equitable means of distributing tickets. The number of
Agency personnel necessary to operate the tours and maintain necessary security also
proved prohibitive.
Arrangements for group visits will be handled on a case by case basis and will
only be scheduled for evening hours or on Saturdays. Groups desiring to visit the CIA
are advised to write to the CIA Public Affairs Office at least two months in advance
of the proposed visit date.
Some of the exhibits used in the test tours will be converted into permanent
displays for viewing during such visits.
QUESTIONS FROM OVERSEAS TRIP
During my recent trip to some of our European Stations and Bases, I was asked
a good many questions by our personnel over there. I thought you might like to know
some of their principal concerns and my responses to them:
Q: What is being done, or can be done, to protect the cover of Station
Personnel?
A: Improving cover for our personnel is one of my key concerns. It is unfair
to ask our people to make the sacrifices they do and perform the outstanding
work. they do without the necessary support of good cover. I assure you we are
working to achieve this here in Washington, and I am receiving good coopera-
tion in this regard. While I do not see any immediate dramatic steps that can be
taken, I am generally optimistic that over the longer run we can make
substantial improvements. I also urge all of our personnel to insure that we
follow our own security procedures rigorously. We cannot expect help from
outside the Agency if we are not doing everything we can to protect our own
cover.
Q: Will there be increased responsibilities for the Chiefs of Station abroad
as a result of the reorganization of the Intelligence Community?
.A: The responsibilities of the Chiefs of Station abroad will remain
basically unaltered by the increased responsibilities given the DCI in Presiden-
tial Directive/NSC-17, except they may be called upon to play a broader role in
the coordination of the collection activities of the Intelligence Community.

 Approved For Release 2002/11/04: CIA-RDP80-00473A000300080006-9
Q: What is the relationship between CIA and Department of State's
reporting on political and economic matters?
A: Clandestine means of collection should be employed only when the
needed information is not obtainable by overt collectors in a timely manner.
This guideline will contribute toward a more harmonious partnership with the
Department of State in this field, which is under continuing review.
Q: What is the future of covert action?
A: The basic answer to this question is that covert action continues to be a
significant CIA mission. It is recognized as such in E. O. 11905 which assigns
this mission to CIA and by the Congress which (following lengthy and
exhaustive investigation) has endorsed the continuing need for retaining a covert
action capability in the CIA under strengthened Congressional and Executive
Branch oversight. Insofar as the future of covert action is concerned, it is clear
that we will only conduct covert action programs when there is a broad
consensus within the government and the Congress that such involvements are
vital to the national security interests of the United States, and only after more
conventional alternatives to covert action have been thoroughly examined, tried,
or discarded as impractical. At this point, CIA must be prepared to respond
quickly and affirmatively to any tasks assigned to it. It is therefore incumbent
on us to maintain and develop the basic skills and resources-including those in
the paramilitary field-to carry out any assigned mission. So long as our foreign
adversaries continue to threaten the national security interest of the United
States and its allies, there will be a continuing need for a covert action
capability.
MINORITY EMPLOYMENT
The progress we are making in hiring minority applicants is most gratifying. The
Office of Personnel has just reported that during Fiscal Year 1977, we entered on
duty 60 minority applicants (43 blacks and 17 Hispanics) compared to 39 (21 blacks
and 18 Hispanics) in Fiscal Year 1976. This represents an increase of approximately
54% over Fiscal Year 1976, and is the largest number of minorities the Agency has
entered on duty in any 12-month period in its entire history. It is also encouraging
that the 4th quarter statistics indicate an upward trend in the number of minorities
hired, and that some are in the middle grades. The new Fiscal Year is starting off
well as we have entered on duty nine more minority applicants (6 blacks and 3
Hispanics) in the first month. This is the highest number of minority applicants we
have ever entered on duty in a one month period. I commend the Office of Personnel
and those Minority Employment Coordinators who are working diligently to improve
the Agency's position in this all important field.
