A. Summary of Suggestion
1. Background
I OC noted that the Agency purchased
and use Tnce ri ons in their HI-SPEED printers located
in OC, ODP and other Agency offices. The ribbons were
used until the ink began to fade and were then discarded.
STATINTL 2. Suggestion
proposed that these ribbons be sent
to FAB-TEX in Rockville, Maryland, for refurbishing and
re-use.
STATI NTL
B. Evaluations
1. ODP has been sending high speed computer printer
- for refurbishing since December 1974.
IODP Operations Division, first
sugges s in ODP in July 1974.
He and ODP Security Officer,
with the e p ot ec nicians in the Office of Technical
Service, determined that the process presented no security
problems. They obtained security approval from the Office
of Security on 10 October 1974 and began sending ribbons
to FAB-TEX in December 1974. During FY 1976, ODP reinked
the following ribbons:

SAVINGS
TYPE NO. REINKED PER RIBBON TOTAL
3211 500 $10.82 $5,410
1403 500 6.44 3,220
$8,630
2. OC and NPIC determined that the ribbons used
in their high-speed printers were of different physical
dimensions, have a different manufacturer and are
possibly made of a different material than those used by
ODP. OS was asked for security approval and ruled that
information could be recovered from these used ribbons.
Therefore, OS concluded that the OC and NPIC used ribbons
should not be sent to FAB-TEX for reinking.
3. OEL originally estimated savings of $1,200
annually, in October 1975, however, due to increased
use of other equipment ribbon savings have not been at
the level anticipated and were more or less insignificant,
maybe $200 or $300.
4. Executive Officer, OD
was within the line of duty of
however, it was sufficiently meritorious to merit a cash
award.
C. Recommendation of Executive Secretary
1. $50 Advisory Award to for bringing
this cost-saving idea to the Committee's attention.
2. $520 award, equally shared, based on annual
savings of $8,630 ($485), plus MODERATE/LIMITED intangible
benefits ($35) .

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COMMITTEE
SUGGESTION NO. 76-231: dated 18 December 19705
P+T ITIAITI 1, GS-11

Directorate of Administration/
OTR (now DCI/IG)
A. Summary of Suggestion
1. Background
The Information Science Training Branch courses
all include a Probability Assessment instruction module.
Student response to the questionnaire was achieved by
interacting with the GE Timesharing Computer System.
This method cost about $12 per student and required 45
minutes to process. A normal class, 30 students, cost
$360 and took from 45 minutes to an hour to complete the
questionnaire.
2. Suggestion
Design a form so that the 3M scoring machine can
be utilized by ISTB for the Probability Assessment
instruction module.
B. Evaluation
1. OTR/ISTB began using the proposed scoring form
(sample attached) with their August 1976 class. OTR said
the costs per student for the Subjective Probability
Assessment Test (SPAT) are reduced from an average of $12
to $1.50; a net savings of $10.50. From August - December
1976, OTR has tested a total of 416 students using the new
forms @ a savings of $10.50 per student or total savings
of $4,368. The students include:

ISTB has turned the test and form over to DIA for their
own testing of 500 additional students. ISTB will
assist Department of the Air Force with the testing of
about 400 students and then turn the test and form over
to them for future administration.
2. The new system makes possible more efficient
and effective testing. C/ISTB said that the classes
consisted of 30 students, however, there are only ten
terminals available for the testing. Thus, students
were always waiting to be tested or for the test to
be completed by the others.
C. Recommendation of Executive Secretary
1. Not line of duty.
2. $350 interim award based on five-months savings
of $4,368 ($270), plus MODERATE/EXTENDED ($80) intangible
benefits.
3. Review in August 1977 to determine savings and
benefits after one full year of use.

A. Summary of Suggestion
1. Background
For some time, OL/Supply Division/Packing and
Crating Section has been fabricating 4x4 ft. pallets
"in-house" to ensure optimum storage and movement of
certain types of its cargo. These pallets were con-
structed from Packing and. Crating Section supplies and
consisted of three each 2x4 in. stringers sandwiched
between 1x12 in. slats spaced top and bottom as the
pallet faces.
2. Suggestion
Use scrap plywood, which accumulates in abundance
from plywood sheets cut for other construction, thus
saving the two 16 ft. lengths of 1x12 in. lumber used for
the pallet faces. This scrap plywood is 3/8 in. A double
thickness can easily be substituted for the slats.
B. Evaluation
1. OL said that:
a. It had been customary to saw these remnants
into conveniently disposable pieces for the scrap bin.
b. This suggestion eliminated the use of lx12
in. lumber for the pallet faces. An estimated 18 pallets
were constructed per month up to March 1976; then the
consolidation unit/Packing and Crating Section was closed
out. Since March, production has increased to an average
of 45 units per month.

Eliminate the automatic assignment of 4to NON-NIACT Immediate messages.
The operator will retain the capability to se ectively assign 0 to these
messages when warranted.
Advise field stations that the Headquarters Signal Center is adopting
this procedure; and recommend that they, at their discretion, do the same.
A recently conducted survey at the Headquarters Si al Center revealed
that approximately 2,400 service wires per month were required to
acknowledge receipt of high precedence messages originated at Headquarters.
The survey also revealed that follow-up action was required on a total of
8 of the messages involved, and that the ultimate reason for retransmission
was failure to clear check number cards, or filing the = response by the
field station.
The assignment of" to NIACT Immediate and Flesh precedence only
would result in the reduction of Q service wires to approximately 200
.,per month at Headquarters.

Special Achievement Award Recommendation -
Memo to AC/ISAS from ES/SAAC, dtd. 10 Nov. 76;
same subj. w/atts
1. This is to recommend a cash award of $1,000 to
accompany the presentation of the Certificate of Distinction
to This Special Achievement Award is
based on the following.
2. The value of the benefits derived from
achievements is judged. to be exceptional as a major procedure
and superior improvement to the quality of the forms control
aspect of the Agency's Records Management Program. The extent
of the application of her contribution is determined to be
broad as it encompasses the Pro ram Agency-wide. The tangible
benefits realized from accomplishment in the 25X1
forms program was computed at $1,326,150.
3. These tangible benefits accrued as a result of the
establishment of a stringent forms review in FY-75 to eliminate
duplicate or redundant forms with a goal to reduce the forms
inventory in the Agency by 5% while simultaneously increasing
25X1
the use of standard forms by 2%. Through F_ I
singular efforts, drive and enthusiasm she won the cooperation
of records officers throughout the Agency which resulted in
exceeding the goal with a net decrease of 10% over the
30 June 1976 total of 2,619 active forms. The calculated
savings for the 12 month period (FY-75) included:
a. Future annual printing costs avoided
by the elimination of 421 forms - $63,150.

25X1
b. The processing cost savings of $1,263,000
($10 for each $1.00 of printing costs) was figured
on only 200 of the 421 forms. The remaining 221
forms, although included in the printing costs,
were not included in the processing costs since
they were considered either "deadwood" forms
the offices neglected to eliminate when they
were no longer being used or they were forms
that had been combined or consolidated where
processing still continues.
4. accomplishing 10% savings over the
5% goal clearly exceeded the most realistic of job require-
ments. Although this exercise was a one time occurrence, it
is felt to have sustaining benefits through improved working
procedures that have resulted from this dramatic forms
reduction that inherently will save manpower, time, space,
and materials.

SSN was not needed and revising forms that continued to
solicit the SSN by including a statement informing the indi-
vidual whether the disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, citing
the statutory or other authority permitting solicitation, and

has conducted records management surveys
in various Agency offices as comprehensive examinations of
records policies, practices, methods or procedures, equipment,
and supplies to find what conditions exist; analyze findings;
determine what improvements, if any, are appropriate and
feasible; what cost savings could be realized; and reported
her recommendations to the head of the office under survey
for acceptance and implementation.
She developed a set of envelopes for protecting and storing
microfiche which contain no chemicals (acid, chlorine, etc.)
in the paper or glue that will harm or affect the microfiche
in any way. The envelopes are designed and printed to Agency
specifications and needs.
She played a major role in the development of the common
format of transmittal and receipt form to precede any messages
transmitted on long distance xeroxography (LDX) Community-wide.
She printed these forms for CIA use and format and gave the
format to the Community LDX operators for their local repro-
duction.
She participated in the introduction of the new Xerox

its ability to integrate graphic and digital communication by
printing forms and computer data in a single operation. She

These slides permit the overlay of fixed information onto a
microfilm image for simultaneous printing with computer generated
data. The design and development of these slides demonstrated
initiative beyond that reasonably expected in the line of
duty performance. The Agency was handicapped due to no avail-
able expertise, assistance, directions, or specifications and
she could not seek help from the limited number of technical
experts in the trade outside the Agency due to the sensitivity
of certain data.'
The OCR system began in 1966 with no expertise available
externally or internally for forms design or forms printing.
Her ingenuity again was demonstrated in implementing this
program.
She has also played a direct role in the development of
the Automated Payroll System; Employee Badge Systems; General
Accounting System (GAS); Automated Personnel System (PERSIN);
Privacy Act and Freedom of Information programs; automated
systems for the forms program to control existing CIA, Standard,
and other-agency forms used by the Agency; and other systems

fo
1. This memorandum constitutes a recommendation for a Special
Achievement Award for in recognition of her efforts
and achievements during her tenure as ief, Acquisitions and Supply
Section, Building Services Branch, Logistics Services Division, OL.
2. This recommendation is based primarily on
contribution to the successful implementation of Employee Suggestion
74-446 which suggested that two of the four typing fonts received with
each new IBM selectric typewriter be deleted from the package thereby
achieving a savings equal to the cost of two typing fonts for each new
selectric typewriter purchased. After having undergone a considerable
amount of research by various elements within the Office of Logistics
(OL), this suggestion was forwarded to the General Services Administra-
tion (GSA) which is the Government Agency responsible for contracting
with IBM. In their response, GSA advised that two of the four fonts
received with each new selectric typewriter are provided by IBM at no
charge to the Government; consequently, the deletion of these two fonts
would not constitute any savings.
3. Had it not been forL __j this suggestion would
probably have terminated upon the receipt of GSA's response and no
advantage would have been realized. However, in recognition of the
enormous savings potential,I I on her own initiative,
continued to refine and develop the idea until a trade agreement was
worked out with IBM under which we exchanged the new, unwanted fonts
for the more popular type styles we need which were formerly purchased
at a cost of $18 each. During the first 10 months of operation, we have
recorded an actual cost avoidance of $9,072.

for Mrs.
4. As we further review record with the Logistics
Services Division, OL, we find that the achievement discussed above is
not an isolated event but is indicative of her record. Other contri-
butions to cost-effective management include: recovery of administrative
supply items for reissue, the substitution of less expensive supply items
of equal quality, the institution of several paper conservation procedures,
and the development of controls to restrict the issue of various items to
avoid waste. We have extracted statistics from our cost-savings report
prepared for fiscal year 1976 and estimate the value of the procedures
which either initiated or coordinated within OL to be $30,000.
5. As we review the Tangible Awards Scale provided by the Incentive
Awards Branch, we observe that a tangible benefit valued at $30,000 normally
merits an award of $850.
6. Based oni several achievements and contributions to
cost-effective management, it is recommended that she be favorably considered
for a Special Achievement Award.

stant
Directorate of Operations/
OPS Staff (resigned 7/9/76)
A. Summary of Suggestion
1. Background
IBM typewriters are purchased and delivered
with four different typing elements. Usually offices
only have a need for one or two elements and the
others are put in a desk drawer or office supply
cabinet. When an office requires a certain type
element, a requisition for its purchase is sent to
Office of Logistics.
2. Suggestion
Purchase only one or two typing elements with
each IBM Selectric Typewriter. Additionally, have
OL/Building Supply stock two or three elements in all
the various type styles from which offices could borrow
on a short-term basis.
B. Evaluations
1. Per OL's request, the suggestion was referred
to GSA who is responsible for Governement procurement
of typewriters, evaluation attached.
2. Upon receipt of the GSA reply we again asked
OL for their comments. Attached is the OL evaluation.
In answer to an inquiry of November 1976, OL conservatively

BRIEF OF EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION NO. 0A-75-103
SUMMARY: It has been suggested that the Agency purchase special
type elements required and only one (1) or two (2)
additional elements for each new IBM Selectric Typewriter,
thus saving the cost of the extra type elements.
Since occasionally there is a need for a type style
that is not widely used, a central location, within
the Agency, be established whereby a specific type
element could be borrowed for a particular project.
EVALUATION: Federal Government customers (except those purchasing
at educational prices) receive two (2) typing elements
with each 7lX and 72X "Selectric" model purchased,
four (4) typing elements with each Dual Pitch "Selectricee
II and Correcting "Selectric" model purchased and three (3)
typing elements with each single pitch "Selectric" II and
Correcting "Selectric" model purchased. Commercial
customers and all customers purchasing at educational prices
receive one (1), two (2) and two (2) respectively.
The aforementioned additional typing elements which are
provided to Federal Government customers are "gratis"
supply items at no additional. cost to the Government.
In addition, if the using activity has no need for
additional typing elements, they should review its
requirements for the purchase of this type of equipment
in accordance with FPMR E-100 (Economical Selection of
items available from multiple award Federal Supply
Schedules) and FPMR 101-26.408 (Purchase of Items from
Federal Supply Schedule Contracts).
RECOMMENDATION: The suggestion is not adopted for reasons stated above.

Centralized Location for IBM Typewriter Elements
REFERENCE :

(b)
Employee Suggestion 74-446 dtd 5 Dec 74; Same Subject
Memo to ES/SAC f r C/ISAP dtd 13 Nov 75; Same Subject
1. The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you of the progress of
our efforts to implement this suggestion and to provide information from
which tangible first-year savings can be projected.
2. As you recall, the original suggestion contained two recommendations;
first, purchase only two or three elements with each new IBM typewriter, there-
by, saving the cost of one or two elements; and second, establish a central
location from which elements could be loaned. As a result of some rather
intensive research, it was determined that two of the elements received with
each typewriter are provided by IBM at no cost to the Government; consequently,
no savings could be realized by eliminating them. It was generally agreed,
however, that the second recommendation made a valid point and a savings could
be realized by reducing the number of requisitions and procurement actions
necessary to acquire replacement elements.
3. of the Building Services Branch, Logistics Services
Division sou given a considerable amount of credit for converting
this idea into a reality, negotiated a verbal agreement with the
IBM representative wherein IBM will accept new and unused elements in their
original sealed containers in an even trade for those elements that the Agency
finds more useful. In order to expand this program to the point where signif-
icant savings could be accrued, the Supply Division (SD) agreed to remove the
unnecessary elements from the new typewriters when they arrived at
and forward them to BSB to be used as trading stock. In addition, e u
Management Branch, SD has been routing all requisitions for elements to BSB
and these requirements have been filled in a considerably shorter period of
time than was formerly experienced.
4. During the 6 weeks that this program has been in operation, 150 elements
have been traded to IBM of which 49 have been issued from the Supply Room. This
equates to an actual cash savings of $882. Assuming that this issue factor
continues, an annual savings of $7,488 is anticipated.

SUBJECT: Centralized Location for IBM Typewriter Elements
5. In addition to these efforts, SD is preparing a notice for all
employees to inform them of the availability of IBM elements and to request
them to return their unneeded elements to the Supply Room, It is nearly
impossible to predict the impact of this notice with respect to the supply
it may attract. Success in this area will depend upon customer response,
It must also be understood that most of the elements turned in will have
been used and/or removed from their original containers and, therefore,
unsuitable for trade to IBM.
6. Without further complicating this matter, it is felt that the data
already collected is representative of future experience and is sufficient
to serve as a basis for computing an award, Please convey our deepest
appreciation to the suggestor.

A. Summary
The attached nomination from Chief, Presentation
and Publication Branch, DCI/NI recommends the Special
Achievement Award and an honorarium of $200 each to
the above listed employees. The nomination was
endorsed by F- L Deputy to the DCI for
National Intelligence. and I-lead of "E" Career Service.
B. Committee's Staff Findings and Comments
1. In order to acquire more background on this
case, we met withi Executive
Officer/DCI/NI and , Chief, Presentation
and Publication Branch, DCI/NI. The following data is
considered pertinent:
a. The draft publication the three employees
were preparing for print is the most important
intelligence document prepared annually by the
Office of the Deputy to the DCI for National
Intelligence.
b. The work of the employees nominated is
in support of a three-volume production of
NIE 11-3/8-76. The Committee concerned with
publication deadline dates consists of senior

officers from Department of State, DIA
and NSA and eight to ten CIA officers.
They had been meeting steadily for three
to four weeks. Also, in order to cope
with deadlines the Committee met all day
Friday and Saturday, 10 and 11 December;
in addition, some staff members worked
Sunday, 12 December. This accelerated
production rate was necessary in order to
reach sufficient progress in preparation
for the already scheduled National Foreign
Intelligence Board (NFIB) Meeting the
week of 20 December 1976. NIO executives
say that if the remarkable work performed
during the Thanksgiving week by the three
employees nominated in this case had not
been accomplished, it would have thrown
the schedule on this production into
"serious disarray".
c. The number of pages that this group
would normally produce in a four day week
would be in the 200 range. However, under
pressure on past occasions in a five day
week, they have turned out over 500 pages.
Yet, during the four day week cited in this
nomination they produced more than 600 pages.
More significant is the fact that realizing
this production achievement enabled the
National Intelligence Staff to make their
goals, and to retain the schedule of already
fixed future meetings of NI Committees and
the NFIB.
d. Conclusion: based upon the fact that
this group has been supporting ten NIO's and
their inter-agency projects concerned with
making deadlines for the NFIB, it is believed
that their achievement warrants a bit more
than a $200 award to each employee. On the
Intangible Benefits Guide we conservatively
rate this case HIGH/BROAD for a $900 award total.
C. Recommendations of Executive Secretary
$900 award, equally shared among the three employees
recommended (HIGH/BROAD).
