MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Support)
SUBJECT: Conversations with Non-CIA Personnel Concerning
Employees or Former Employees Seeking
Outside Employment
1. The Office of Personnel, as you know, is responsible for pre-
paring replies to prospective employers and others who request information
regarding former employees. Exceptions to this, of course, are requests
on technical matters such as medical and security, which are referred by
the Office of Personnel to the responsible officials. This function can
be performed in a manner which will better serve the interests of the
Agency as well as those of the individual concerned if all pertinent
information given to outside individuals or organizations is available.
2. I believe that references and recommendations concerning employees
or former employees seeking outside employment should be centralized in
the Office of Personnel to ensure consistency in the handling of such
matters. Otherwise, unintentional confusion, creating situations which
may not be helpful to the individual or conducive to good public relations
for the Agency are bound to occur.
3. It is requested that you advise senior personnel in your staffs
that when they give a reference about senior employees, who are leaving
the Agency, it would be appreciated if they would let me know by telephone
or by memorandum the substance of the conversation.
4. It is also suggested that all supervisors in your office and
staffs be directed to forward to my office copies of any recommendations
which may have been made regarding junior employees if such statements
will be used outside the Agency. If a recommendation is made by telephone,
a memorandum documenting the information given out should also be forwarded.
