MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, BPAM
1. From our findings in our OSI survey we observed that an
individual's technical qualifications can be judged in advance with
fair certainty, but leadership qualities cannot, nor is it possible
to judge accurately whether a scientifically trained individual can
be converted into a successful intelligence officer. If the person
brought into a senior position proves deficient as a manager or fails
to make the transition to intelligence officer, an unusually difficult
adjustment must be made. OSI is faced with just this problem in
the case of a Division Chief who was brought in two years ago as
a GS-16 and who has proved to be of doubtful suitability for his
position. This suggested to us the advantages of introducing new
senior professionals into technical assignments where performance
could be assessed before committing them to command positions.
2. BMSD has been without a permanent chief since June and
without a deputy for a much longer period. The present acting 25X1
chief presumably was unacceptable even as deputy prior to
departure. Although Don Chamberlain does not state 25X1
in his recommendation that he has no one in OSI competent to fill
the position, I believe that would be his position. I would be inclined
to agree with him, based on our observations during our survey. 25X1
