RECOMMENDATION A. "Employees in the Office of Operations should be
more closely associated with intelligence production activities. The
DD/I should require the following action: 25X1A
"1. Attachment A of Agency Regulation _ dated 15 December
1955 be revised by placing 00 under the Intelligence Production
Career Service of the DD/I;" 25X1 A
00 COMM: We do not agree that CIA Regulation should be
revised in order to place the Office of Operations under the Intelli-
gence Production Career Service of the DD/I. The original decision
to exclude 00 from the IPCS was not reached at. the insistence of
the AD/0, but rather due to a mutual recognition of the fact that
the "substantive" DD/I offices had much in common with each other and
that 00 and OCR did not fit into this pattern.
In paragraph 5,, page 26, the survey states that the IPCS
is concerned with, "planning for the most effective use of personnel
which come under IPCS Board activities". This board, with its 25X9A2
present membership, supervises the careers of some M persons., Q5X9A2
difficult task. If' 00 and OCR come under the IPCS, it would then be
responsible for an additional i classified personnel and 250 foreign
nationals (for whom 00 must do scene planning). It would not only be
difficult, but practically impossible, for one board to have 25X9A2
sufficiently close personal contact with, or knowledge of, acme W
persons to supervise their careers and to plan adequately for their
futures.
25X9A2
25X9Pg ,is Office has approximately= classified employees
and =foreign nationals engaged in many diverse types of collection
activities. Moreover, and Contact Division have extensive field
operations unlike anything else in the DD/I area. Obviously, some of
our personnel are doing work similar to that performed by some IPCS
personnel, but for the most part our activities are very different
from those of the IPCS offices and our personnel requirements are
seldom similar. Moreover, more of our personnel rotate or transfer
to the DD/P than they do to other offices of the DD/I.
It is rec4x needed that 00 not become part of the IPCS.

"2. The AD/O delete the special career designations of the three
Divisions nd 40/C) and assign Intelligence Production
or Support Career Designations in accordance with the backgrounds,
qualifications and desires of the personnel involved;"

00 CCt42ENT: We most emphatically disagree with this Recommendation.
Personnel, management is basically a command function. Our personnel
look to their Branch and Division Chiefs, and ultimately to the ADO,
for their future development, training, promotion, reassignment, etc.
We believe that 00 personnel are proud of their career designation
and that the vast majority would prefer to keep it. If the recoamnen-
dation of the survey team were approved, the 00 Career Designation
would be abandoned and a large number of our people would acquire
(involuntarily) the "I" designation. Presumably,, engineers, radio
maintenance personnel,, code monitors and teletypists would have a
CCMKO designation; training liaison officers, an OTR designation;
administrative personnel, some kind of a DD/S designation; etc.
Under these conditions, four or five non-00 Career Service
Boards would be responsible for making recommendations to the chiefs
of their respective Career Services in regard to all 00 personnel.
At a minimum this would mean that 00 personnel would lose the
benefits of close personal contact with, and advice from, their
supervisors, so necessary to good personnel mangement. Carried to
extremes, this might prohibit the ADO from taking action in regard
to the training, promotion, reassignment or rotation to domestic or
overseas stations of his personnel without the concurrence of some
other career service board and the approval of the chief of some
other career service. This would obviously create an impossible
situation.
We repeat, personnel management is a command function.
The recommendation. of the Inspector General would seriously impair,
if not destroy, this function and would make it extremely difficult
for the AD/O to carry out his mission.
We strongly urge disapproval of this Recommendation.
"3. The 00 Career Service Board come within the charter of the
Intelligence Production Career Service (IPCS) Board;"
00 CENT: This Recommendation is identical with that under paragraph
1, above and disapproval is recommended.
'14? The ADO become a voting member of the IPCS Board; and"
00 CCNT: The A,D/O would automatically become a voting member of
the IPCS Board if the Office of Operations came under this Board.
Disapproval is recommended.

"5. The DAD), O or a senior officer become a voting member of
the IPCS Executive Committee."
00 CClMENT: The DAD/O would automatically become a voting member
of the IIPCS Executive Committee if this Office came under the IPCS
Board. It might be noted., however, that the present arrangemeht
whereby the DAD/O and a representative from OCR monitor the meetings
of the Executive Committee has worked in a most satisfactory manner.
Disapproval is recommended.
