was presenting. His approach was always informative and pleasant.
At no time did anyone interviewed indicate that tried
to sell or force anything on them. He presented the facts and
responded as questions arose.
Panel Conclusions
25X1A
As a result of the information gathered and the facts associated,
the Panel drew the following conclusions:
25X1A
1. That as the man tasked as Program Manager,
was clearly the individual in charge of preparing and
implementing the new operational concept.
2. That the management task assigned to clearly 25X1A
exceeded his job responsibility as a result of the magni-
tude of the task.
3. That the fruits of his management have a significant
impact on a wide segment of the Intelligence Community
(even though it is not apparent at this time because of
the short period the new operational concept has been in
effect).
4. That the Plan that was derived and implemented by
and his task group clearly reflects a revised operational
concept which meets the demands of the intelligence require-
ments needed today.
5. That the results of work are purely intangible
from a monetary sense.
6. That has an intuitive knowledge of the entire
Intelligence Community operation as well as for what goes
on within NPIC and elsewhere in the Agency. This insight
into the overall picture substantiated his selection and
performance for the job as Project Manager.
As a result of the foregoing conclusions, the Panel agreed
that this award should be in the High/General intangible award
category ($1,000-$2,500).

SUGGESTION AND ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS COMMITTEE
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUGGESTION NO. 76-390: dated 15 April 1976
GS-08
Computer Operator
Directorate of Administration/ODP
A. Summary of Suggestion
1. Background
In the ODP Computer Center Tape Library (here-
after mentioned as the "Tape Library") an employee was
required to pull a list of tapes daily to be "scratched"
(i.e., erased so that they could be reused). This was a
full automated system, except for the "scratching" and
pulling of the tapes. The system produced a list of
tapes from a program run consisting of from 300 to 400
"scratch" tapes daily. The present system calls for
the person to verify the external number, then take the
tape to an assigned area to be degaussed. The tape is
then placed on a tape drive and a program is called in
to over-write binary l's on the tape. In this way, the
next person using that tape will not acquire classified
data in that tape. (This is in compliance with a DCI
directive on computer security.)
2. Suggestion
a. Implement an automated system to help prevent
tapes that are not to be "scratched" from being "scratched".
Such a program could read the label on the tape when it is
mounted and check the Tape Management System (TMS) Library
on the TMS pack to verify that it is the right tape to be
erased.
b. Advantages cited by suggester: Human error will
be eliminated 100%. The overall efficiency of the "Tape
Library" will also be increased by utilizing these gained
work hours more productively. Finally, a very substantial
savings will be realized because human error will be eliminated.
The large amount of rerun time and man hours to replace data
that was inadvertently destroyed will be eliminated.

 Approved For Release 2000/06/19 : CIA-RDP80-00706A000200110001-2
B. Evaluations
1. Chief, Operations Division, Office of Data
Processing, when given this case for evaluatio May
1976 testified that the suggester,
conceived the idea nearly two years before. On the
basis of the suggester's verbal proposal at that time,
it was passed to ODP Systems Engineering Division for
implementation into the Multiple Virtual Storage
operating system then in the planning stage.
2. Executive Officer, ODP currently reports that:
a. A program to incorporate the intent of the
suggester's proposal was written in the summer of 1975.
Testing was started in late 1975. The "Tape Library"
implemented the Data Security Erase Program (DSE) on
1 March 1976 as a result of this employee suggestion.
This automated program was modified to interface with
the Tape Management Catalogue (TMC) to prevent human
error when tapes are being degaussed.
b. When the DSE program is initiated, the internal
volume serial number of the standard label tape mounted on
the allocated tape drive is read by the DSE program. The
volume serial number is then checked with the TMC entry to
ensure the tape has expired. If the tape has not expired,
the tape drive will unload and a "TAPE IS NOT A SCRATCH"
message will print on the hardcopy console. The program
will not erase a tape that has not expired in the TMC.
This prevents the wrong tape from being erased accidentally.
c. Under the old method, before performing the
erasing process the tape librarian had to check and double-
check the tapes pulled from the library against the scratch
listing generated by the TMC. This was a manual process
subject to human error. An average of two tapes per day
were being erased inadvertently. This required additional
work hours checking the listings before and after the
erasing process, and notifying the respective user when a
tape was erased. Some of this lost data could not be
reconstructed.
d. Since the implementation.of the USE program,
the accuracy of tapes being erased has reached 100%. The
savings accrued in the "Tape Library" is two hours of a
GS-06 position per day, seven days weekly in checking
listings. This has produced a savings in salary costs of
approximately $3,600 annually. The time saved can be spent
in a more productive manner. The cost avoided because
tapes are no longer scratched inadvertently depends upon
the data lost. The computer processing time and work hours
Approved For Release 2000/06/19 : CIA-RI)P80-00706A000200110001-2
 Approved For Release 2000/06/19 : CIA-RDP80-00706A000200110001-2
required to recover the data would vary with application.
A conservative estimate is $200 per tape. At two tapes
per day and seven days weekly, this amounts to a cost
avoidance of approximately $145,600 plus hourly annual
savings of $3,600 previously stated for a grand total of
$149,200.
e. Intangible benefits are estimated at SUBSTANTIAL
and BROAD. The basis for this is the impact this modifica-
tion has had on tape users. Previously, it was not uncommon
for programmers throughout the Agency to comment:
"My job is late because the 'Tape Library'
scratched the tape."
"I must backup everything because I have
been burned too many times by the 'Ta.pe
Library"
The growth of user confidence in the "Tape Library" tape
scratching procedure has resulted in a reduction in the
tendency to produce additional backup tapes for self
protection. This has a direct impact on the number of
computer jobs processed each day and the number of tape
drives tied up. In addition, the reduction in redundant
tapes has erased the burden on the storage capacity of
the "Tape Library". This suggestion is not in line of
duty for the suggester, a computer operator.
3. In order to ascertain the degree of action caused
by this suggestion and the magnitude of credit deserving
the initiator, the Committee's staff questioned ODP
officials further. They responded to the effect that the
suggester deserved full credit for the action that has
been taken on the new program. Furthermore, in answer to
our pertinent question, they said that they would probably
not have a similar program yet employed or a similar idea
under consideration today if it had not been for the unique
discovery by this suggester.
C. Recommendations of the Executive Secretary
1. Not line of duty.
2. Award of $4,150 calculated as follows: $3,840
for benefits of $149,200 according to the Tangible Awards
Scale, plus $310 for Intangible Benefits Guide ratings of
SUBSTANTIAL/BROAD.

3. Refer to Civil Service Commission for submission
to GSA. Since GSA oversees ADP installations they would
know who might be able to use this program which is
applicable to IBM computer equipment. (It cannot be
directly transferred to other computer centers in CIA
since they do not have IBM equipment. However, the
general concept employed in this suggestion could be
implemented on other computers and software systems
throughout the government, including other components of
CIA.)

for all OC personnel. Copy of suggestion prepared
by the suggester entitled "Resuscitation" is attached.
This paper caused extensive study among OC, OMS and
Safety Committee officials.

B. Evaluations
1. fA/IU01 OC has introduced CPR training
s a standard course.
It is planned that th.is training will also be given
to the wives of communicators. The skill will thus
be available in the homes and to the official STATINTL
community where families live. Fiel training of
personnel has been
initiated. OMS is rove in training to personnel in
the This is an important
improvement which. is being widely adopted within OC.
OC rated intangible benefits EXCEPTIONAL/EXTENDED ($1,000).
2. (U) OMS and OS/Safety Branch stated that
the pneolator is intended to be a source of oxygen
to be used to reoxygenate a victim's system after
breathing has been restored and thus should not be
discontinued.
3. (U) Chairman, Safety Committee commented
that the importance of the suggestion lies in the
fact that skilled and readily available CPR
techniques could save lives. The suggester, by
formalizing and pushing his views, served as a
significant catalyst in bringing together those
individuals who were concerned with. the problem and
who could best come up with a concerted, professionally
qualified opinion. Chairman, Safety Committee said
the suggestion has broad application and commented

that an award of $1,000 does not appear to be out of
line.
4. (U) Chief, Clinical Activit:i.es Divi.si.on/OMS
discussed the difficulties in arriving at a recommended
award with the OC Safety Officer. They agreed that
the application of CPR was at least broad if not
general and that the concept was a significant
improvement. The suggester did, in fact, serve as
a catalyst as well as a motivator in bringing
together the interested group. C/CAD/OMS commented
that an award of $1,000 appears well justified.

A. Their operation is predicated on a back
pressure principle, i.e., the respiratory cycle
is triggered at a back pressure point where,
supposedly the lungs of the victim have been
adequately ventilated. Effective resuscitation,
.however, is a product of induced air volume not
the pressure at which it is applied. The Pneolator
does not accurately indicate the presence of, or
compensate for partial obstructions of. the airway,
including partial flexion of the neck. Also, it
does not provide adequate pressure to overcome
resistance of the lungs caused by old age, pulmonary
disease or fluid accumulation. Under these conditions,
lung and airway resistance to air flow can cause
premature back-pressure cycling, resulting in inadequate
ventilation.
B. The use of the Pneolator is not feasible in
conjunction with the application of external cardiac
compression, which would most likely be required in the
event of electrocution or cardiac arrest.
C. Existing instructions for the use of the
Pneolator do not. adequately emphasize the absolute
requirement for establishing and maintaining a proper
airway. Without a proper airway, no method of
pulmonary resuscitation is effective.

D. Perhaps the greatest deficiency of
Pneolator use in the OC Field Station environment
is the inacceptable amount of time required for its
application. Time is a critical factor in resuscitation
efforts as biological death commences within approximately
four minutes of clinical death, i-.e., the cessation
of all cardiopulmonary activity. If a victim has
stopped breathing, artificial ventilation attempts
must commence immediately to prevent death or irreversible
brain damage. His survival should not be jeopardized by
the loss of time involved in locating, transporting,
assembling, adjusting and applying the Pneolator
and in reading the instructions for its use.
E. Another drawback to relying upon the use of
the Pneolator is the potential for personnel apathy
which accrues to perceiving this device as being
effective, irrespective of the rescuer's expertise
in its use.
In sum, the use of the Pneolator requires
too much time, does not facilitate simultaneous
administration of external cardiac compression, does
not provide adequate ventilation in all circumstances,
does not inspire personnel to take a serious interest
in the concern and requirement for emergency care and,
is expensive.

Pulmonary resuscitation through the mouth-to-mouth technique
is preferable to the use of a Pneolator as it is highly
effective,. uncomplicated and can be quickly applied.. It
is a "natural" means of ventilation, one in which the rescuer
can spontaneously determine the respiratory requirements of
the victim. External cardiac compression can be performed in
conjunction with the mouth to mouth technique. Cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) has proven to be the most effective means
of emergency resuscitation and training of laymen in this
technique is now highly encouraged by the medical profession.
Training of CPR within OC currently consists of only
limited information. A practical training program involving
the use of a Resusci-Ann type training aid is essential to
proficiency in CPR. In addition to fundamental techniques,
a CPR training program can include instruction in the use
of the bag-mask, pharyngal airways, etc. Although the use of
these devices is in general no more effective than the mouth-t
mouth technique, they serve as aesthetic insulators, permitting
effective resuscitation without physical contact between the
victim and rescuer.
Once an individual has been trained in CPR, extensive
re-training should not be required. He should, however, be
provided the opportunity for occasional practice and periodic
reinforcement as to the potential value of CPR training.
An effective CPR training program for OC personnel would require
only modest expenditures of time and money.

Training an individual in emergency care has the
parallel advantage of increasing his level of safety
consciousness. Interest and proficiency in the CPR
program as it relates to the work environment would
spontaneously extend to the employee's home where. its
application in protection of the family is equally important..
In addition to these practical advantages, establishing
a program for CPR training would serve as a means of
positively demonstrating OC's concern for the safety
of the employee and his family.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Institute at the earliest possible time a
comprehensive CPR training program for all OC personnel.
Qualified instructors, drawn from.the OC Staff and
appropriate training aids should. be placed and in
each Area Headquarters.
2. Discontinue the use o.f the Pneolator or other
mechanical resuscitation devices as soon as adequate CPR
training is available to OC personnel. Existing Pneolators
could be retained in the Field and with proper training
be used to provide assisted breathing in the event of heart
failure, exposure to toxic fumes, etc. and for long term
resuscitation under a doctor's supervision.

C. Conclusions and Recommendations by the Executive Secretary
1. The intangible benefits seem important or
significant and extend to the Agency and other U. S.
Government departments. SUBSTANTIAL/GENERAL or HIGH/
GENERAL on the Intangible Benefits Guide seem
appropriate.
2. Recommend Special Achievement Award of $1,500
based upon: cost avoidance of $25,012 for the average
first year ($1,100 according to the Tangible Awards
Scale), plus $400 for HIGH/BROAD intangible benefits.

COMMITTEE CONCLUSIONS: 27 September 1977
Use of a cost avoidance of over $25,000 for one year and
award credit of $1,100, according to the Tangible Awards Scale,
did not seem appropriate. The Committee reasoned that use of
the "government furnished quarters system" was the only way to
go in this instance. Therefore, an award of $800 was considered
sufficient by the Committee based solely upon HIGH/BROAD intangible
benefits.

A. Summary
(A/TUO) The attached nomination recommends
for a Special Achievement Award
and honorarium of $1,000. The Acting Deputy
Director for Administration concurred in the
recommendation. Award of the Certificate of Merit
was approved on 10 August 1977 by the Honor and
Merit Awards Board.
B. Additional Information
1. (A/IUO) In an effort to further ascertain
justifications for the level of award recommended by
ODP, the Committee's Staff questioned the Executive
Officer, ODP and Chief, D Division/ODP and obtained
the following added information:
a. Normally, ODP would have had to hire a
fully cleared, professional translator to perform
the accomplishments that carried out. The
two deaf employees with which has
principally worked are college educated professional
programmers and also mathematicians. She has gained
much knowledge from them in her computer work as they
have conveyed solutions on computer problems
primarily gained through knowledge of mathematics.
She in turn has taught the deaf employees many of
ODP's systems, procedures and policy understandings.
The mathematicians she works with take on requirements
for any component and are currently working on
complex assignments for OMS, OSI, OEL and CCS.
b. She has allowed ODP to accelerate the
capabilities of the deaf employees. Chief, D
Division/ODP estimates that she has been responsible
for increasing the ability and efficiency of the
GS-10 deaf programmer by 50% and the GS-09 programmer
by about 25%. She has been so successful that she
has inspired between five and ten other employees
in ODP into learning Sign Language during lunch time
in - Building so that they also can work with
the deaf programmers.

are deaf are referred to OP and ODP for employment
consideration.

The sign language skill which has acquired STATINTL
facilitates a greater participation an pro uctivity by our
deaf employees and deserves special recognition and encourage-
ment for additional growth. I recommend that in recognition
of her achievement she be awarded a Special Achievement
Award in the amount of $1,000.00.
