Chief, SIS Support Staff
SUBJECT: Suggested Input on SIS for OPPPM FY 1982
Program Call
1. Per our discussion, the following is our suggested
input for the SIS section of the OPPPM FY 1982 Program
Call:
On 4 November 1979, CIA supergrade officers
officially became members of the Senior Intelligence
Service (SIS). Patterned after the Senior Executive
Service established for Federal agencies under the
Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the SIS was set up
under existing CIA legislation. A small. staff of
personnel officers, aided by an inter-directorate
task group and with guidance from the Executive
Committee, prepared a series of SIS subsystem proposals
which were approved by the DDCI. The SIS System was
announced officially on 1 October 1979 and all CIA
supergrade officers were invited to join. All but one
chose to do so (that officer noting his previously
declared intention to retire in January 1980 which he
did). All subsequent promotions of GS-15s have been
to SIS-1 rather than to the former General Schedule
GS-16 level.
The SIS System is intended to improve the effec-
tiveness of our senior management system by recognizing
and. rewarding excellent performance with stipends and
awards. Other incentives include lifting annual leave
accumulation limits (subject to an annual 80-hour "use
or lose" rule) and the opportunity for sabbaticals and
participation in senior officer development programs.
A key element links job performance evaluations, based
on individual annual work plans, to consideration for
these performance awards and stipends. Up to 50 percent
of SIS members may receive cash awards ranging from 7
to 20 percent of basic salary.

SUBJECT: Suggested Input on SIS for OPPPM FY 1982 Program
Call
The SIS Support Staff was established in FY 80
to draw up implementing procedures and to administer
this program under the direction of the D/PPPM (and
through him, of the DDCI). The staff consists of
three officers and a secretary. These four positions
represent our Austere staffing level. Under an
Enhanced level, an additional officer would be used
most productively in the administration of this vital
program.
2. Funds for performance awards and rank stipends are
being included in the ODCI FY 82 budget submission, accord-
ing to of the Comptroller's Office.
3. Please let us know if you need additional information.
