00 (1) The intent of Tab E of the CIA Career Service program
requires a definition of "professional position" based
on the longterm career significance of a position in
the field of intelligence as well as on the nature of
its specific duties. The definition should enable the
identification of those positions which because of the
kind or level of intelligence information or experience
they offer, provide opportunity for individual develop-
ment which will be of long-term valve in fields of
special interest to the Agency, Therefore, CIA professional
pasitiooe are defined ass "those positions which offer
direct opportunity for career service by developing an
individss understanding or skill in the use of inter
gence.tedhniques, thereby preparing bin for progressively
more responsible specialized or ea+ecutive assigments in
the Agency."

in Tab E of CIA Notice No d by the above
definition, the foUowing~watified as professional
