MEMORANDUM FOR: Colonel White
13 October 1952
1. I find the facts in the attached staff study rather interesting,
particularly 2 f. I have been in-grade over 71 years and have maintained
my reserve commission and kept active the entire time. I am a Captain
and was one of the first members of our reserve group when it was organ-
ized in CIA. I also find it a little difficult to believe that 50 per-
cent of the group have been promoted during the past year. It has just
occurred to me that perhaps a large part of the 50 percent promoted were
the enlisted members of the Detachment; I am not sure.
2. Your attention is also called to the fact that the &er
on promotion of the reserve officers assigned to 25X1C
25X1C and does not comment on the treatment accorded those reservists who
attend our meetings but cannot be assigned to the Detachment because of
the numerical limitations.
3. As late as last Spring (I have attended only one meeting since
we started this Fall), there were reservists regularly attending the
meets s who were not being paid as are those of us who are assigned to
25X1C At infrequent intervals when we had an administrative
meeting the same question would be raised, "When are we going to be 25X1A
assigned"? As you know, is the Commanding Officer of the
Army Unit. A comparison for the Air Force and the Navy with this report
might be interesting.

to be an active member of which meets in 25X1C

I mentioned one Captain of reserves
at the elt he would
lose out on promotion if he was in
6.
the CIA Mobilization reserve, rather
than in a Reserve Unit. Hence, I
had the attached study made and it

indicates that promotion in our
25X1
is
rather rapid.
