MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence Me, ``-f -)

Executive Secretary
: Associate Deputy Director for Intelligence
: Executive Dining Room Dinners
Your Memorandum, dated 11 January 1974,
Subject: Official Entertainment in the
Executive Dining Room
1. This memorandum submits a recommendation for
approval; this recommendation is contained in paragraph 4.
2. Paragraph 2 of referenced memorandum states that
official funds may not be used "to pay for the expenses incurred
in the entertainment of officials or employees of the. U. S.
Government in the Executive Dining Room. " It also provides
that exceptions shall require the advanced approval of the
Director.
3. I have established a Management Advisory Group
Intelligence Directorate (MAGID) to advise me concerning
various problems that arise in the day-to-day management of
this Directorate. Membership on this group is rotational, and
the present membership is composed of employees GS-07
through GS-09. Patterned after the Agency MAG, the MAGID
meets after hours at a dinner meeting in the Executive Dining
Room. They are of course required to pay for their own meals
and for the meals of guests, which is as it should be. Even
though the meetings are officially sanctioned by this Directorate,
the individuals attend on their own time. There has been a

recent ruling based on referenced memorandum which now re-
quires that the group also pay for any overtime required on
the part of Executive Dining Room personnel. This new ruling
means that members may have to pay as much as $9. 00 each
to conduct Agency business on a voluntary unpaid basis. I
believe that this additional charge to meet Dining Room over-
time costs is unwarranted.
4. It is requested that you grant an exception to permit
the official payment of overtime to Executive Dining Room
personnel in connection with these MAG official dinners.
