intention to make a career of employment with CIA and that he be
25X1 Aga not bound either rlorally or legally to a :lifetime of service with
the Agency, pointed out that the "moral binder"
requirement might, glace a conscientious individual in an untenable
position- a person might enter the Career Service Program earnestly
and sincerely desiring to spend the remainder of his working life
with CIA, accepting whatever assignments might be given to him; later,
however, owing to events unforseen'and unforseeablo, the individual
might wish to leave the Agency but, if he had pledged himself to
remain and were an honorable person, he would remain, possibly with
detriment to himself and to the Agency. The group agreed that this
point was well taken, and that this OSI opinion might be helpful
25X1A9a to the Y orking Group on Selection Criteria; therefore the memorandum
25X1A9a on which based his observations was passed to Mr.
11111111111for the information of the Working Group on Selection
Criteria.

(page 1-8) the group saw no need for amplification of the functions
of the office career service boards beyond the statements already made

5o The group then turned to item 2 on the agenda, consideration
of the secretary?s written draft of the group's proposed positions on
questions posed in paragraph 2, minutes of 6 December meeting, 25X1A9a
.distributed copies of a draft modification of the answers to questions
a, b, c and f on the'secretary.?s draft. With reference of question a, as
to whether tEe group would suggest a generally applicable system of
selection of individuals to receive. extension training, the group agreed
that:
The selection of individuals. to receive training should
primarily be the responsibility of the various Offices, exercised
through their career service boards, and that training of individuals
at any stage of their service cannot be restricted to any group,
no matter how selected; Not only does the efficiency of the Agency
require early training, but needs of particular offices may require
training of individuals ineligible for a "Development Program".
The administration of such training by the Offices concerned and the
Office of Training should .have as its primary goal the,increasing
-of the individual?s value to the Office? Agency-wide.needs of
personnel development should'be taken into considerationn through
selection and training by the CIA Career Service Board of exceptionally
qualified personnel for Agency-wide key positions, The CIA Career
Service Board should, in addition, review or monitor the program
