CIA Career Service Program
Memorandum dated 29 January 1959 from the
IG to the Deputy Directors, Subject: IG
Survey of the Office of Personnel
DATE: 16 February 1959
1. The following are the comments of this Division relative to
the questions presented in reference, by paragraph number.
a. Paragraph 2a:
Employees generally have no interest in the Career
Service Program because they feel there are no tangible
benefits derived from membership in the program.
b. Paragraph 2b:
Membership in the Career Service Program should be
limited to employees who have or attain special professional
or technical skills needed to perform functions peculiar to
the Agency and who would be limited in obtaining employment
in other Government Agencies or commercial activities because
their training and experience is in such professional or
technical skills.
c. Paragraph 2c:
Regardless of whether the present Career Service Program
is retained or modified the concept of separate services for
personnel of similar qualifications or training should be
maintained as it is sound and it does provide material
assistance in personnel administration.
d. Paragraph 2d:
The periodic review of the qualifications of employees
by grades and the development of competitive promotion
panels provides a list of candidates for positions which may
become available. This feature of the program is of material
assistance to supervisors in personnel administration.
e. Paragraph 2e:
The present procedures for processing personnel actions
through the Career Service Panels and Boards is satisfactory.

f . Paragraph 2f :
If membership in the Career Service Program is limited,
as suggested in Paragraph b. above, members and potential
members should be rotated between positions under the
jurisdiction of each Deputy Director to effect maximum
training for such employees. Rotation of employees who are
not in the Career Service Program would be undesirable and
would cause many employees now assigned to duties which they
like to become dissatisfied because of the duty requirements
of the new assignment.
