MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Support)
SUBJECT: Conversations with Non-CIA Persons Concerning
Employees or Former Employees Seeking Outside Employment
1. As you know many requests from non-CIA persons for information
and recommendations concerning employees or former employees who are
seeking outside employment are received in the Agency. The Office of
Personnel is responsible for releasing information on Agency personnel
to persons outside CIA, except in cases where medical and security
information is involved.
2. It is recognized that in order to give maximum assistance to
individuals seeking outside employment former supervisors rather than
the Office of Personnel should prepare these recommendations particular-
ly in cases of senior employees and retired personnel. However, it is
very important that supervisors determine prior to giving out any infor-
mation whether there are any extenuating circumstances which must be
considered in relation to the reco:

offices and staffs to call me pe sonallywhen they receive letters or
telephone calls requesting recommendations on senior employees or
former senior employees who are seeking employment. Immediate attention
well be given to such matters so that the supervisor may expedite his
reply to the prospective employer.
5. It is suggested that supervisors under your jurisdiction be
directed to contact Chief, Employee Services, Office of Personnel, prior
to giving out any information on junior employees who are leaving or
have left the Agency. It is also requested that supervisors send copies
of all recommendations to the Office of Personnel on junior employees
which are sent out or will be used outside of the Agency. If such
recommendations are made by telephone, a memorandum documenting the
information given out should also be forwarded to the Office of
Personnel.
