3. The Director of Training proposed that the responsibility of the
advisory panel referred to in paragraph 3d(4) of the "Proposed Revision of
Junior Officer Training Program",item 3, be restricted to the
selection of on-duty candidates for the JOT program. The Council approved
the substance of the regulation and the above-mentioned change and gave the
Diracbar of Training the responsibility of "editing down" the proposed draft.
It was agreed that no further coordination of this issuance was necessary.
4. The Council approved the policies, distributed as item 4 on the
agenda relating to the Career Staff of CIA and directed that Regulation
No.1Ibe revised to incorporate these policies.
5. Item 5, "Review of Personnel Management",was discussed and the
Council agreed to give the Director of Personnel "a vote of confidence" to
continue his current implementation of personnel administration as agreed
to by the Council on 25 April 1957. The Director of Personnel explained
that a list of individuals who may be considered for "management development"
in the Agency was being compiled and that this list would be submitted to
the Council for review before the end of the year.
6. The Council reviewed the problems raised with respect to Competitive
Promotion, item 6, on the Agenda, and agreed to change the grade range for
which evaluation by competitive panels was mandatory from GS-7 through
GS-14 to GS-9 through GS-14. Regulation Owould be revised accordingly. 25X1

grades GS-9 and GS-11, as authorized by the present Regulation
would be carried out. The Director of Personnel will furnish guidelines
for the establishment of additional competitive areas where requested.
7. The proposed retirement system for CIA was discussed at length,
items 9 and 9a and related items 7 and 8. The Council considered which of
the two basic concepts stated below should prevail.
" (a)
To preselect the individuals to whom the special
benefits will apply (i.e., establishment of an
"overseas corps" similar to, but not identical
with, the Foreign Service);
"(b) To apply special retirement benefits to those
individuals who have fulfilled certain overseas
duty requirements."
The Council decided unequivocably that (a) was undesirable and that
the Agency should work toward a retirement system based on the premises
stated in (b). The system should also include, if possible, such elements
as severance pay, ixmnediate annuity and subsequent reemployment elsewhere
in Government with partial annuity.
The Council also agreed that early consideration should be given to
a more favorable compensation system since retirement policies are so
closely related to the salary and wage scales.
8. The Council adjourned at 4:30 P. M.
