III. MAJOR OBJECTIVES
1 966-1 o
a. AUTOMATION
Automate entire personnel records system (including applicant
files) so that personnel actions, biographic profiles, qualifica-
tions information, and other related records can be machine pro-
duced, and necessary data and reports extrapolated by automatic
processes.
b. MANPOWER PLANNING
Develop a manpower planning system capable of forecasting overall
Agency personnel requirements (based on Agency ceiling projections)
and then translating these requirements into specific recruitment
objectives that reflect the numbers, occupational specialties, and
other characteristics of the individuals to be hired during each
forecast period.
e. RECRUI'1'M
Extend and strengthen our present recruiting capability to enable
it to perform an increasingly sophisticated and responsive mission.
Objectives include better communications arrangements with field
recruiters; greater use of retired or other ex-Agency personnel in
screening candidates; and wider use of advertising and other public
relations media to broaden the geographic reach of our recruitment
effort and improve its access to key sources of specialized personnel.
d. SELECTION
Improve present personnel selection methods by: developing sharper
definitions of personnel requirements; establishing more meaningful
qualifications standards; taking full advantage of advancements in
intelligence, aptitude and other screening tests and devices; and
making greater use of central panels and other methods,. including
on-the-spot field selection, to speed final decisions in the selection
process.
Develop our present retirement planning activities into a compre-
hensive program of advance planning, counseling, external training,
job placement assistance, and perhaps even "gradual retirement," for
prospective retirees.

f. LEGISLATIVE OBJECTIVES
ecu ve order authority under which certain present
and former employees of CIA may be appointed in the competitive
service if they seex employment in other Federal agencies.
PLACEMENT
Simplify and improve the processes through which Career Services
interchange personnel, and also through which individual employees
are reassigned, retrained, and redirected in terms of career inter-
ests when such adjustments become desirable or necessary.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
Work toward greater sensitivity to employee needs and an increasingly.
t
cons
ructive climate of employee relations. Specific objectives
include a more professional counseling service, more scientific
analysis of employee motivation and causes of attrition, and a
streamlined 1-step arrangement for exit processing.
i. EMPLOYEE SERVICES
Convert the Credit Union to a completely automated operation.
Arrange for the collection of all insurance premiums through payroll
deductions or other automatic processes. N Improve the self-supporting
capability of all employee services.
1=l .
a.. A very sophisticated records and reports system can be expected to
match personnel requirements against available skills of employees
(and applicants), to give greatly improved support to day-to-day
personnel operations, and to yield data that can be manipulated in
an almost infinite variety of ways for review and analysis.
b. Manpower planning can be expected to produce more precise results
with greater accuracy as a result of the increased flow of data
from automated sources.
co "Phonavision"j, controlled TV circuits, and other advanced methods
of communication will be used to expedite recruitment and to reduce
the need for travel in connection with interviews.

d. More precise statements of personnel requirements and better
validated methods of testing and selection will make it possible
to hire almost all new employees through a central induction system
instead of referring them to components for final selection.
e. Because a higher proportion of Agency employees will be taking
advantage of "early" retirement, increased emphasis will be placed
on advanced planning for retirement and assistance to prospective
retirees.
f. A shorter work week will place increased demands on the employee
relations program, particularly those aspects concerned with recrea-
tion, off-duty training, welfare activities and counseling. And a
new building at Langley, bringing all Headquarters employees into
one location, will bring a greatly expanded employee activity pro-
gram including the. facilities that will accompany such a program --
i.e., swimming pool, tennis courts, recreation hall, etc*
g., Techniques will be developed, using automated equipment, to analyze
insurance claims and'to carry out most of,the routine transactions
involved in the operation and management of the Credit Union and
insurance activities.
TV. The various programs of the Office of Personnel can, for the purposes of
this planning exercise, be grouped under the following headings:
