MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security

uG,C Has Reviewed
SUBJECT: Notification of Membership in the Career Staff
14 Proms
To determine the procedure to be employed to notify staff
employees of their selection for membership in the Career Staff.
2, Assumptions:
It is both necessary by regulation and desirable for psycholog-
ical reasons to notify each successful Career Staff applicant
formally and individually of the action taken by the CIA Selection
Boardp
Facts:
aQ Regulation No. O section 7 (h), states that: !'The
Assistant Director for Personnel will officially notify the individual
of the action of the CIA Selection Board and will place a copy of its
determination in his official Personnel Folder.l'
b. As of 8 October 1954, a cumulative corrected total of
applications for membership in the Career staff have been transmitted
to eligible staff employees; a total of applications have been
returned for action by the Selection Boar . Of the latter, the Board
has already selected 0 persons for Career Staff membership. It is,
therefore, apparent that a procedure is needed at an early date for
the notification of t:iese and succeeding persons whose applications are
acted upon favorably,
4. Discussion:
ao In order to cope with the problem noted above., the following
procedure is contemplated:

(1) Upon favorable action by the Selection board on;the
application of an individual for membership in the Career
Staff, each such individual will be notified formally of his
selection by letter (see attachment "A"). The use of the
Director's stationery for this purpose has been approved per
agreement between the Chief, Career Service Staff and the
Executive Assistant to the Director (see attachment "Btt)o
The latter also concurred in the use of the Official Seal
of the Central Intelligence Agency to be impressed upon each
letter to authenticate this formal action by the Agency. (Con-
currence of the General Counsel is requested).
(2) Transmittal of the letters to the individuals con
cerned will be done through Career Service Boards. Since these
letters are unclassified (similar in concept to a personnel
notification by Standard Form 50 for vouchered emvloyees),
instructions will be appended with each individual letter
detailing 'the security restrictions that must accomparp they
possession of the letter. Career Service Boards will also
be instructed as to the restrictions on the distribution of`;
letters addressed to persons who may be overseas or in a cover
situation which would preclude his receipt of such a document.
(Guidance is requested from the Director of Security on the,
instructions referred to above).
b, The CIA Selection Board has approved this format (Attachment
"A") subject to legal and security concurrence.
5. Conclusions:
It is believed that the proposed notification (attachment "A")
will fulfill the requirement specified in Regulation No. and
will provide each selected person with a formal and approp a e d4cuu
ment reflecting the importance the. Agency attaches to his membership
in the Career Staff.
6, Recommendationst
It is recommended
a, That the General Counsel concur in the use of the Agency seals
bo That the Director of Security provide technical assistance in
.the framing of such supplemental instructions as may be required for
