I. DCI review of points discussed on 28 April (see att'd "Review
of Major Points" prepared for DDO):
A. DCI comments on 28 April session.
B. DCI comments on now completed review of DDO; e.g.
disciplinary actions.
II. Employee response to events of past two months:
A. General concern that as a clandestine organization,
CIA comes out the loser in efforts to woo press with
interviews and building tours. Short of total access
to files and employees, media always has last word.
B. General concurrence that Agency expertise, research.
and analysis should be made more accessible to U.S.
public/private institutions/individuals e.g. Ballou
High School..
C. Recent 2rievance action re out-of-phase promotion
has again brought into question inviolability
of panels and objectivity of grievance/IG system,
D. Morale further affected and rumors spawned by handling
of DDO GS 1.4-15 promotions. To prevent such rumors
and adverse effect on morale notice should have been
circulated explaining hold-up.
III. New Issues. We feel action on those points already tabled
(see att'd) are required rather than tabling new issues:
A. With wide distribution to all DDO Divisions/Staffs
of att.'d, we have discovered that most of these issues
have been tackled repeatedly in the past, but never
acted upon. Remedial action is now awaited by DDO
employees whose hopes have been stimulated by these
and other discussions.
B, DDO proposed reorganization prior to that of larger
Agency or Community reorganizations seems premature.
There have been too many and too frequent structural
changes within DDO without sufficient time to assess
each. We urge any reorganization be put off until
it will be definitive.
C. Public relations has many facets. We urge DCI to
spend as much time meeting with U.S. Ambassadors and
heads of foreign liaison services as he does with U.S,
media. Care and feeding of the Ambassadors pays
dlv:iclenJs bor our field Stations. Similarly fore.igii
liaison services have enjoyed a history of meetings with
the DCI. Continued good relations with incumbent service
chiefs helps to ensure that these good relations are in
turn passed on to successor chiefs.

Proposal:

Proposal:
1.
2.
3.
Assignment process should be more centralized.
Profiles of positions available should be
circulated to Field and Hqs.
DDO should ?review comparative promotions
of DO with other Directorates and govern-
ment agencies and take any necessary
corrective steps.
All directorate promotions should be
disseminated to Ilgs and Field with
statistical profiles of promotees.
Findings of promotion panels should be final.
Point C: Case officers must be managers to advance.
Proposal: Career track needed to permit qualified
officers to advance without management
responsibilities.
Point D: DO selection out process is ineffective.
Proposal: 1. Lower 5% must be informed of their marginal
performances and timely action taken. .
to select them out as appropriate.
2. New hire officers should be reviewed after
five year probationary period to determine
career suitability.
3. Personal Rank Assignments should be
utilized for movement of non-productive
officers.
Point E: Slo:,:-ink .3^_::;i_ of retirement has resulted in "graying
of DO".
Proposal: 1. Ir:plementation of effective selection out.
2. Seek new legislation fixing length of service
without regard to age.
3. Seek new legislation on establishing mandatory
retirement age.
