was held as to the advisability of the seven offices of record
furnishing the Examining Panels information which had not previously
been presented to the Heads of the Career Services and/or Heads of
the Operatlng Component. It was felt that azeinformation furnished

information that they felt was pertinent to membershi?nto the .
Career Staff. This would avoid "double jeopardy": It was agreed
that the Examining Panels should not be the instrument to bring

was also recognized that the Head of the Career Service and an
Examining Panel should haVo the same sat of facts on which to
judge suitability for membership into the Career Staff. The Head .
of the Carepr service should state in making his recommendation
that he has taken into account pertinent information when making
his recommendation. As a result of these discussions., it was
agreed that the seven offices of record would furnish to the CIA
Selection Hoard and simultaneously to the Head of the Career
Service and/or to the Head of the Operating Component information
ato the extent that it is professionally appropriate and operationally
secure".
One paragraph was added to the policy, Paragraph "). Ary

by the office of record." With the above conditions, the proposal
